Three dilemmas of corporate social responsibility (CSR) are described in relation to a proposed triadic critical systems framework based on boundary critique. One, the holistic dilemma of addressing triple bottom line interests in economic, social and environmental issues. This speaks to a ‘framework for understanding’ in making sense of interrelationships between entities in a complex reality ...

Abstract Privacy preference signals are digital representations of how users want their personal data to be processed. Such must adopted by both the sender (users) and intended recipients (data processors). Adoption represents a coordination problem that remains unsolved despite efforts dating back 1990s. Browsers implemented standards like Platform for Preferences (P3P) Do Not Track (DNT), but...

Triadic formal concept analysis has become a popular research direction, since triadic relations give natural models of many data collections. In this paper we address the problem of selecting most interesting concepts by proposing triadic stability indices.

The simple formalization and the intuitive graphical representation are main reasons for the growing popularity of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA). FCA gives the user the possibility to explore the structure of data and understand correlations and implications in the data set. Recently, triadic FCA (3FCA) has become increasingly popular, but exploring triadic conceptual landscapes is not easy, es...

A growing body of evidence suggests that the amygdala is central to handling the demands of complex social life in primates. In this paper, we synthesize extant anatomical and functional data from rodents, monkeys, and humans to describe the topography of three partially distinct large-scale brain networks anchored in the amygdala that each support unique functions for effectively managing soci...

We examine the advantages and disadvantages of 2 types of analyses used in interpersonal perception studies: componential and noncomponential. Componential analysis of interpersonal perception data (Kenny, 1994) partitions a judgment into components and then estimates the variances of and the correlations between these components. A noncomponential analysis uses raw scores to analyze interperso...

The metaphysical assumptions of cognitive science are explored with the goal to develop a problem-centered science relevant to the design and engineering of effective products and technologies. Radical Empiricism is suggested as an ontological foundation for pursuing this goal. This ontology poses a single reality where mind and matter come together to shape experience. Peirce’s triadic semioti...
