Problems of Equivalence in Cross-Cultural Marketing Research

January 2015

Cultural diversity can impede the standardization of marketing programs and increase the complexity of marketing research efforts (see Assael, 1992; Cateora, 1996; Douglas and Craig, 1992). In the context of marketing research, the cross-cultural comparability of research results is a particularly thorny topic which is frequently ignored by researchers. Yet, neglecting cross-cultural ... [Show full abstract] comparability issues may render marketing research input for international marketing decisions meaningless (Manrai and Manrai, 1996).

The internal consistency reliability estimates of the Standard Progressive Matrices Test for 127 Hispanic and 103 Anglo-American sixth grade pupils were compared using Feldt's test of the equality of two reliability coefficients. These reliability estimates were comparable for Hispanic and Anglo-American pupils. Findings support the continued use of the test as a nonverbal ability test for ...

3. The case for Semantic Pluralism

January 2019

Emanuel Viebahn

What is the content of a sentence in context? At most one proposition, says the standard view of propositionalism accepted in much of semantics. A set of propositions, says the hitherto little-explored view of semantic pluralism. The aim of this book is to motivate, develop and defend semantic pluralism. To achieve this aim, the book puts forward two arguments against semantic propositionalism. ... [Show full abstract] It spells out two versions of semantic pluralism: flexible pluralism, which takes many expressions to be context-sensitive, and strong pluralism, which denies that context-sensitivity is widespread. And it shows how pluralist theories can reply to several objections that have been lodged against non-propositional semantic theories.

November 2000 · Journal of Architecture and Planning (Transactions of AIJ)

This study aims to clarify the state of samurai house in the castle town Ueda at the end of Edo period, by researching historical materials, such as the plans, the regulations, the records, etc. The results of the research are as follows: 1. Nine standard types of houses were assigned to retainers according to their class. But in actuality, almost all of the floor spaces were larger than standard ... [Show full abstract] size. Never the less, the floor spaces were suited to their class. There is a possibility that extension scale was decided after consideration the class of retainers. 2.

A speech recognition system and method having an increased recognition accuracy for a compound word composed of a first word and a second word. Standard information corresponding to each of the registered words is stored. The standard information includes predetermined feature information and time information with respect to each of the registered words. The time information represents a ... [Show full abstract] continuous time length for pronouncing each of the registered words at a normal speed. Feature information extracted from an input word is compared with the standard information to obtain a similarity between the feature information and the standard information corresponding to one of the registered words. A determination time is set to determine a result of recognition when the compound word is input and when a first degree of similarity is obtained from the first word at a first time and a maximum degree of similarity is obtained from one of the second word and the compound word at a second time. The determination time is set to a time prior to the second time, by the continuous time length which corresponds to the one of the second word and the compound word having the maximum degree of similarity.

Zeno’s Paradox of Measure

January 1983

Brian Skyrms

Zeno of Elea is perhaps best known for his four paradoxes of motion: The Dichotomy, Achilles and the Tortoise, The Arrow, and the Stadium. These are, however, supporting pieces in a grand argument against plurality whose keystone is Zeno’s paradox of measure.1Adolf Grunbaum has, on several occasions,2called attention to the importance of this paradox, and explained how the standard ...

No cause for collapse

July 2023 · Asian Journal of Philosophy

We investigate a hitherto under-considered avenue of response for the logical pluralist to collapse worries. In particular, we note that standard forms of the collapse arguments seem to require significant order-theoretic assumptions, namely that the collection of admissible logics for the pluralist should be closed under meets and joins . We consider some reasons for rejecting this assumption, ... [Show full abstract] noting some prima facie plausible constraints on the class of admissible logics which would lead a pluralist admitting those logics to resist such closure conditions.
