Credibility reasoning has attracted a lot of attention due to its distinguished power and efficiency in representing uncertainty and vagueness within the process of reasoning and decision making. Aiming at the problem of inaccurate credibility estimation in uncertainty reasoning and making experts to express hesitant preferences better in evaluation reasoning process, this paper introduces hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set into credibility uncertainty reasoning. First, we propose hesitant fuzzy linguistic-valued credibility (HLCF), and establish the knowledge representation model of the hesitant fuzzy linguistic-valued credibility. Then, in order to solve the problem of incomplete information in the evaluation reasoning process, an information complement algorithm based on maximum similarity is constructed. After that, the algorithms of single rule and multiple rules of parallel relationship of hesitant fuzzy linguistic-valued credibility are proposed to enrich the reasoning rule base and get more accurate reasoning results. The closeness degrees between the conclusions of each alternative after reasoning and the expected value are calculated, so as to select the most suitable alternative. Finally, a practical example which concerned the social risk analysis is given to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Use Of Knowledge

We mobilize theories of corporate governance and the theory of the social psychology of decision-making small groups to understand the operational process of the public hospital supervisory board. More precisely, we empirically test the mediation relationship of the decision-making process (effort norms, use of knowledge and skills, and conflict cognitive) between its structure (size, the composition, and diversity) and the performance of its roles (strategy, control, and service). A total of 320 questionnaires coming from members of the French public hospital supervisory board were collected. The aggregation of these individual answers generates a sample of 159 public hospital supervisory boards. The results of the tests of the assumptions of the research model confirm the fact that the structure of the supervisory board does not influence the performance of its roles. However, supervisory board effort norms positively affect the performance of its roles positively. Only effort norms and the use of knowledge and the skills partially play the role of mediator between the supervisory board structure and the performance of its roles. Practical and theoretical implications are exposed in the discussion.

Uncertainty problem is the key problem need to be faced and solved in expert system. During the uncertainty reasoning process for expert system, this paper proposed a new matching degree algorithm of first component of rule to solve the uncertainty problem when reasoning. The adoption of the algorithm made the selection process for the best matching point become more accord with the nature selection and has better adaptivity. Adopting this algorithm could improve the accuracy when the first component of rule selecting a conclusion. By taking a production plan of a factory for example, this paper proved the selected first component of rules for following evidences which supporting conclusion has a good effect on credibility. And the expert system which using the new algorithm has a great improvement on decision-making function.

Background Fear of being stigmatised is a major social risk for seeking help in the HIV/AIDS arena. However, little is known about the social perceptions that people hold about the disease. This study explores the level of perceived stigma and its effect on the social risk of HIV testing and disclosure among Iranian-Australians immigrants living in the Sydney metropolitan area. Methods: A total of 236 Iranian-Australians immigrants aged 20–65 years participated in this cross-sectional study. Results: The majority of respondents (73.3%) perceived that HIV-infected people face a great deal of or some stigma. Participants were concerned about being stigmatised if they tested positive or were known to be HIV-positive in the future. A significant majority expressed that such concerns would affect their decision-making related to HIV testing and disclosure. Females were more likely to perceive HIV/AIDS stigma. Multiple regression analyses showed that perceived HIV/AIDS stigma could explain 28.6% of the variance in social risk of HIV testing and disclosure (B = 0.89, β = 0.53, P < 0.0001) and 24.6% of the variance in decision-making related to HIV testing and disclosure (B = 0.62, β = 0.49, P < 0.0001) after controlling for sociodemographic factors. Time since migration (predictive power of 4.8–6.78%) strongly influenced the associations. Conclusions: If social stigma is left unaddressed, individuals would be reluctant to undertake HIV testing or disclose their HIV status if tested positive. Further attempts are needed to change the current social construction of HIV/AIDS among Iranians-Australians living in Sydney.

Slow Progress

Women today are considered to be outside the political and administrative power structures and their participation in the decision-making process is non-existent. As far as their participation in the political life is concerned they are still on the margins. The existence of patriarchal society in Lebanon as well as the absence of governmental policies and procedures that aim at helping women and enhancing their political participation has made it very difficult for women to be accepted as leaders and to be granted votes in elections (UNIFEM, 2002).This above quote is taken from a report that was prepared to assess the progress made regarding the status of Lebanese women both on the social and governmental levels in light of the Beijing Platform for Action – the name given to the provisions of the Fourth Conference on Women held in Beijing in 1995. The above quote describes the slow progress achieved by Lebanese women in view of the ambitious goal that requires that the proportion of women occupying administrative or political positions in Lebanon should reach 30 percent of thetotal by the year 2005!

This article covers several stages of the work of Pichon-Rivière. In the 1950s he introduced the hypothesis of "the link as a four way relationship" (of reciprocal love and hate) between the baby and the mother. Clinical work with psychosis and psychosomatic disorders prompted him to examine how mental illness arises; its areas of expression, the degree of symbolisation, and the different fields of clinical observation. From the 1960s onwards, his experience with groups and families led him to explore a second path leading to "the voices of the link"—the voice of the internal family sub-group, and the place of the social and cultural voice where the link develops. This brought him to the definition of the link as a "bi-corporal and tri-personal structure". The author brings together the different levels of the analysis of the link, using as a clinical example the process of a psychoanalytic couple therapy with second generation descendants of a genocide within the limits of the transferential and countertransferential field. Body language (the core of the transgenerational link) and the couple's absences and presence during sessions create a rhythm that gives rise to an illusion, ultimately transforming the intersubjective link between the partners in the couple and with the analyst.

And Control

Autonomy is associated with intellectual self-preservation and self-determination. Shame, on the contrary, bears a loss of approval, self-esteem and control. Being afflicted with shame, we suffer from social dependencies that by no means have been freely chosen. Moreover, undergoing various experiences of shame, our power of reflection turns out to be severly limited owing to emotional embarrassment. In both ways, shame seems to be bound to heteronomy. This situation strongly calls for conceptual clarification. For this purpose, we introduce a threestage model of self-determination which comprises i) autonomy as capability of decision-making relating to given sets of choices, ii) self-commitment in terms of setting and harmonizing goals, and iii) self-realization in compliance with some range of persistently approved goals. Accordingly, the presuppositions and distinctive marks of shame-experiences are made explicit. Within this framework, we explore the intricate relation between autonomy and shame by focusing on two questions: on what conditions could conventional behavior be considered as self-determined? How should one characterize the varying roles of actors that are involved in typical cases of shame-experiences? In this connection, we advance the thesis that the social dynamics of shame turns into ambiguous positions relating to motivation, intentional content,and actors’ roles.
