Darkness without dark matter and energy – generalized unimodular gravity
Physics Letters B, 2017 We suggest a Lorentz non-invariant generalization of the unimodular gravity theory, which is classically equivalent to general relativity with a locally inert (devoid of local degrees of freedom) perfect fluid having an equation of state with a constant ...

Stability : International Journal of Security and Development, 2013 Despite many recognized shortcomings, Rational Choice Theory remains the dominant perspective on decision-making in the literature on African conflict, whether overtly acknowledged or not. Prospect Theory, originally derived from the field of behavioural

Cumulative Prospect Theory Version with Fuzzy Values of Outcome Estimates
Risks, 2021 Choosing solutions under risk and uncertainty requires the consideration of several factors. One of the main factors in choosing a solution is modeling the decision maker’s attitude to risk. The expected utility theory was the first approach that allowed

Prospects for a Theory of Decycling
Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic, 2020 Seemingly natural principles about the logic of ground generate cycles of ground; how can this be if ground is asymmetric? The goal of the theory of decycling is to find systematic and principled ways of getting rid of such cycles of ground. In this paper—drawing on graph-theoretic and topological ideas—I develop a general framework in which various ...

Prospect theory, reference points, and health decisions [PDF]
Judgment and Decision Making, 2008 In preventative health decisions, such as the decision to undergo an invasive screening test or treatment, people may be deterred from selecting the test because its perceived disutility relative to not testing is greater than the utility associated with

A cumulative prospect theory approach to car owner mode choice behaviour prediction
Transport, 2014 The uncertain transportation environment makes travel’s mode choice decision-making behaviour become a complex and alterable process. Based on the cumulative prospect theory, this paper analysed the long-standing use of utility theory for the travel’s ...

Pseudodifferential calculus in Schwinger–DeWitt formalism: UV and IR parts
Physics Letters BWe consider expansions for the kernels of operator functions of second-order minimal operators on a curved background. We show that the terms of these expansions originate in the ultraviolet or infrared regions.

Making regulation fit by taking irrationality into account: the case of the whistleblower
Business Research, 2019 Prospect theory describes people as bounded rational decision maker. What sparked widespread discussion after its initial introduction in 1979 is today criticized for lack of applicability. I use the debate about whistleblowing laws to show that prospect

Framing the frame: How task goals determine the likelihood and direction of framing effects
Judgment and Decision Making, 2007 We examined how the goal of a decision task influences the perceived positive, negative valence of the alternatives and thereby the likelihood and direction of framing effects.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Wilms tumor (WT) treatment imposes a significant time burden on patients and their families. Time toxicity is a patient‐centered metric that quantifies the burden of healthcare interaction. We sought to define time toxicity in the first year after diagnosis of WT and hypothesized that it would increase as tumor stage and treatment ...
