Applying CHC Models to Reasoning in Fictions

In figuring out the complete content of a fictional story, all kinds of consequences are drawn from the explicitly given material. It may seem natural to assume a closure deductive principle for those consequences. Notwithstanding, the classical closure principle has notorious problems because of the possibility of inconsistencies. This paper aims to explore an alternative approach to reasoning with the content of fictional works, based on the application of a mathematical model for conjectures, hypotheses and consequences (abbr. CHCs); extensively developed during the last years by Enric Trillas and some collaborators, with which deduction in this setting becomes more comprehensive.Fil: Urtubey, Luis.

On Conjectures in t-Norm Based Fuzzy Logics

This paper is a humble homage to EnricTrillas. Following his foundational contributions on models of ordinary reasoning in an algebraic setting, we study here elements of thesemodels, like conjectures and hypothesis, in the logical framework of continuous t-norm based fuzzy logics.We consider notions of consistency, conjecture and hypothesis arising from two natural families of consequence operators definable in these logics, namely the ones corresponding to the so-called truth-preserving and degree-preserving consequence relations. We pay special attention to the particular cases of three prominent fuzzy logics: Gödel, Product and Łukasiewicz logics © 2015 Springer International Publishing Switzerland.This work has been partially supported by the Spanish projects TIN2012-39348-C02-01 and TIN2011-29827-C02-01Peer Reviewe

La dimensión de razonamiento matemático. Desarrollo de un instrumento diagnóstico dirigido a múltiples niveles educativos y modelización de su estructura

El razonamiento matemático es una habilidad muy valorada en distintos ámbitos de la ciencia y la educación. Esta valoración se sustenta en su invaluable aporte en el desarrollo de la ciencia y en el valor conferido al mismo en la formación integral del ser humano. Esta habilidad se ha estudiado tanto desde las perspectivas de la psicología como de algunas ramas del pensamiento matemático. Sin embargo, no han sido frecuentes estudios que integren los hallazgos de estas dos áreas en la construcción de modelos explicativos integrales. Se propone un modelo para el razonamiento matemático a partir de cuatro dimensiones: memoria de trabajo, razonamiento inductivo, razonamiento deductivo y razonamiento espacial. A partir de un estudio planteado en el contexto costarricense, para estudiantes entre 12 y 17 años de edad, se contrastan diversos modelos: un modelo de medida para el razonamiento matemático, un modelo dimensional, un modelo de influencias y algunos modelos de interrelaciones entre las dimensiones. Esta tesis aporta una vía de profundización tanto en este ámbito conceptual como una vía metodológica para afrontar contrucciones teóricas complejas y contrastar propuestas al respectoMathematical reasoning is a highly valued skill in different areas of science and education. This valuation is based on its invaluable contribution to the development of science and the value conferred to it in the integral formation of the human being. This ability has been studied both from the perspectives of psychology and some branches of mathematical thought. However, there have been no frequent studies integrating the findings of these two areas in the construction of comprehensive explanatory models. It proposes a model for mathematical reasoning from four dimensions: working memory, inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning and spatial reasoning. From a study raised in the Costa Rican context, for students between 12 and 17 years of age, different models are contrasted: a model of measure for mathematical reasoning, a dimensional model, a model of influences and some models of interrelationships between dimensions. This thesis provides a way of deepening both in this conceptual field as a methodological way to deal with complex theoretical constructions and contrasting proposals in this regar

An exploratory study of Taiwanese long-haul package tour customers' satisfaction

Taiwan has achieved rapid and continued economic growth over the last thirty years. This economic prosperity has significantly increased the demand for outbound tourism from Taiwan. However, the immature marketing strategies of travel agencies and lack of experience of both travel agencies and outbound tourists has also increased confrontation between the two parties. This research investigated customer satisfaction/dissatisfaction on pre-tour and on-tour service encounters between Taiwanese travel agencies and their customers. It analysed the role of the tour leader and the relationship with customers on guided group tours, and the link between overall satisfaction with a travel agency and the generation of repeat business. This study adopted exploratory research to investigate the service elements provided by travel agencies and the relative factors that affect tourist satisfaction when customers are taking a long-haul package tour. The primary data was collected using three different research methods: in-depth, semi-structured face-to-face interviews with managers from 19 randomly selected Taiwanese travel agencies; participant observation of a ten day Taiwanese guided group (package) tour to Italy; and semi-structured international telephone interviews with 23 of the Taiwanese tour group participants. Additional data was received from the collaborating travel agency, which had conducted its own research on customer satisfaction on the same tour. The primary data of interview transcripts and field notes were analysed using NUDIST software. The transcripts of the findings and discussion provide a detailed ethnographic study of the experiences, which these Taiwanese tourists encountered on a long-haul package holiday. The findings indicated that Taiwanese travellers are price-sensitive, have limited individual initiative and tend to over-rely on travel agencies and tour leaders. The tour leader's performance is the key factor resulting in customers' complaints or contributing to customers' satisfaction on a tour. However, Taiwan's tour leaders are tip-sensitive and the issue of tipping plays a crucial factor in influencing the tour leaders' job performance as well as customer satisfaction. Many travel agencies indicated that customer satisfaction was not so significant and the tour leader's performance was acceptable - providing customers did not complain. A process for the success of a guided-package tour has been developed to enable travel agencies to deliver a better service, as well as engage in more effective marketing campaigns. The differences in perception between service providers and customers have been identified as an important barrier to customer satisfaction. This model suggests that travel agencies should aim at developing customers' expectations to a realistic level during the pre-tour stage. It also suggests building customers' satisfaction to a reasonable !evel during the on-tour encounter. Changing customer satisfaction from merely satisfied to totally satisfied increases production and operational costs, which may not be a wise investment in terms of the financial return - particularly in an intensely competitive market where customers are price sensitive. The model suggests that travel agencies should be aware of the importance of the tour leaders' service performance and communication skills, to explain to customers the reason why negative incidents of flow significance (NII.'s) occur and consequently to help reduce customer dissatisfaction. This study identified the key influences on customer satisfaction when customers are taking a guided package tour. Components of satisfaction - expectation, performance, attribution, emotion and equity - Identified and examined. An additional component - communication - emerged which appeared to facilitate understanding between customers and service providers. The notion of Round Table Theory was put forward as a tool to illustrate equity from a tourist consumer perspective. The variety of research methods allowed due triangulation and so increased the validity of the research. Empirical findings of this study provide a better understanding of the components of customer satisfaction of a long-haul package tour
