Marciano, Laura ; Camerini, Anne-Linda ; Schulz, Peter J.

The personality trait of neuroticism (N) has consistently shown to be a risk factor for Internet Addiction (IA). Review literature, however, looked at this in bivariate analyses only. To the best of our knowledge, we conducted the first review that systematically and conceptually summarized results based on the inclusion of additional factors, thus coming closer to the complex nature of the ...

Does health literacy reinforce disease knowledge gain? : a prospective observational study of hungarian COPD patients

Papp-Zipernovszky, Orsolya ; Csabai, Márta ; Schulz, Peter J. ; Varga, János T.

In: Journal of clinical medicine, 2021, vol. 10, no. 17, p. 13

We set out to measure the health literacy (HL) of COPD patients using the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy (S- TOFHLA), perception-based screening questions (BHLS), and a specific disease knowledge test (COPD-Q). Our main focus is the relationship between functional HL and patients’ disease-knowledge, which contributes to the clarification of the relationship between the different...

In: Public integrity, 2021, p. 13

This article explores how risk rationales affect and alter national security secrecy. While the transformation of defense and security policy has been widely discussed by security theorists, transparency scholars have not yet considered the notion of risk in their conceptualizations of national security secrecy. This article draws on security studies literature to outline the divergences...

Qualitative properties and relations

Plate, Jan

In: Philosophical studies, 2021, p. 26

This paper is concerned with two concepts of qualitativeness that apply to intensional entities (i.e., properties, relations, and states of affairs). I propose an account of pure qualitativeness that largely follows the traditional understanding established by Carnap, and try to shed light on its ontological presuppositions. On this account, an intensional entity is purely qualitative iff it...

Framing national security secrecy : a conceptual review

Heide, Marlen ; Villeneuve, Jean-Patrick

In: International journal, 2021, vol. 76, no. 2, p. 238-256

This essay investigates justifications for the “necessity” of official secrecy, by tracing and structuring the rationales underlying it. Justifications will be investigated through the case of “national security secrecy,” a prominent example of official secrecy. While the literature generally treats “national security secrecy” as unidimensional, this analysis demarcates several...

The ABC of Deutsch–Hayden descriptors

Bédard, Charles Alexandre

In: Quantum reports, 2021, vol. 3, no. 2, p. 272-285

It has been more than 20 years since Deutsch and Hayden proved the locality of quantum theory, using the Heisenberg picture of quantum computational networks. Of course, locality holds even in the face of entanglement and Bell’s theorem. Today, most researchers in quantum foundations are still convinced not only that a local description of quantum systems has not yet been provided, but that...

The long shadow of fatalism : a philosophical speculation on Forster’s “the Machine Stops” (1909) on the disintegration of technologically sdvanced societies back then and today

Seele, Peter

In: Philosophy of Management, 2021, no. 20, p. 431–439

EM Forster’s short story “The Machine Stops” from 1909 is widely reread and discussed again for some ten years as it portrays a science- fiction world resting on similar technological advancements as today in the digital era. Also management literature reviewed the short story with regard to centralized decision making, rationality and totalitarianism. I argue instead, that the main theme...
