Simulation expectation by Thomas, T

“…(Similar arguments can be marshalled for the view that we are more likely to be Boltzmann brains than ordinary people, but I focus on the case of simulations.) I explain how this argument overcomes some objections to Bostrom’s classic argument for the same conclusion. …”

Beginning with the spiritual life by Wynn, MR

“…At the core of any Christian understanding of the nature of the good or worthwhile human life will stand a conception of neighbour love, and so a consideration of Aquinas's views on the nature of spiritual goods might very naturally start here, with his account of neighbour love. The case that concerns Aquinas is not quite so straightforward as that of harm, but it is not too difficult to think of parallels between the example that he gives and morally significant truths concerning the past.…”

A Primer on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) / by Hair, Joseph F., Jr., 1944-, author 644188, Hult, G. Tomas M., author 209503, Ringle, Christian M., author 609755, Sarstedt, Marko, author 627541

“…Hult, Christian Ringle, and Marko Sarstedt use their years of conducting and teaching research to communicate the fundamentals of PLS-SEM with limited emphasis on equations and symbols, instead, explaining the details in straightforward language. A running case study on corporate reputation follows the different steps in this technique so readers can better understand the research applications. …”

Corpus Linguistics for Health Communication : A Guide for Research / by Brookes, Gavin (Linguist), author 629273, Collins, Luke, author 656146

“…Offering a critical review of the field, discussion of extended case studies, and practical exercises based on spoken, written and digital language data, this book: introduces the fields of health communication and corpus linguistics, and critically reviews cutting-edge studies in the burgeoning area of corpus-based health communication; describes the processes involved in planning a corpus linguistic study of health communication, including designing and building a corpus, selecting tools, and implementing techniques of analysis; demonstrates how corpus linguistic methods can - and have - been applied to the study of spoken, written and digital health communication, offering critical reflections and suggesting areas for future development. …”
