The Popper-Carnap Controversy
ISBN: 9789024751273 / Angielski / Miękka / 1971 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. 1 In 1954 Karl Popper published an article attempting to show that the identification of the quantitative concept degree of confirmation with the quantitative concept degree of probability is a serious error. The error was presumably committed by J. M. Keynes, H. Reichen- bach and R. Carnap. 2 It was Popper's intention then, to expose the error and to introduce an explicatum for the prescientific concept of degree of confirmation. A few months later Y.

Global Report on Student Well-Being: Volume III: Employment, Finances, Housing, and Transportation
ISBN: 9780387979489 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. I suppose that most of the people reading this volume will have read or have access to Volume One of my Global Report on Student Well Being. Therefore, I will not review the background literature relevant to multiple discrepancies theory (MDT), the theory itself or the es sential features of the international university undergraduate data-set on which this whole report is based. Anyone familiar with my earlier papers (Michalos 1985, 1987, 1988) will have a good idea of MDT. However, one really has to have a look at the first volume of this study in order to appreciate the richness of a...
