The overload of health information has been a major challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic. Public health authorities play a primary role in managing this information. However, individuals have to apply critical health literacy to evaluate it. The ob...
Cryptocurrency forensics have become standard tools for law enforcement. Their basic idea is to deanonymise cryptocurrency transactions to identify the people behind them. Cryptocurrency deanonymisation techniques are often based on premises that lar...
Socioscientific issues (SSI) are often used to facilitate students’ engagement in multiple scientific practices such as decision-making and argumentation, both of which are goals of STEM literacy, science literacy, and integrated STEM education...
Tasks related to relational understanding are useful for arguing about basic mathematical structures and relationships, and for encouraging long-term mathematical thinking. It has been determined that learners in primary school have considerable diff...
This paper introduces a classification model that detects and classifies argumentative behaviors between two individuals by utilizing a machine learning application, based on the MediaPipe Holistic model. The approach involves the distinction between...
In an era of information explosion and overload, individuals face a constant influx of mixed-quality, contradictory data. Navigating this complex landscape requires critical thinking, which enables individuals to dynamically adjust their reasoning an...
The news framing of assisted death in Portugal and the United Kingdom from 2016 to 2024 was analyzed across two dimensions. The first examined the overall frames through source positions and occupations. The second observed argumentative structures b...
The idea that the Qur’an is miraculous is common in Islamic apologetics, but has received little attention in Western philosophy of religion. Despite the common claim that the supposed miracle of the Qur’an is distinct in not requiring te...
In many studies, the focus has been on students’ written scientific argumentation rather than on their spoken argumentation. The main aim of this study was to relate the quality of spoken argumentation to groups’ learning achievement duri...
Argumentative writing is the most commonly used genre in writing classroom practices and assessments. To draft an argumentative essay in authentic settings, writers are usually required to evaluate and use content knowledge from outside sources. Alth...
Movie scene event extraction is a practical task in media analysis, which aims at extracting structured events from unstructured movie scripts. However, although there have been many studies regarding open domain event extraction, there have only bee...
Through early diagnosis of symptoms, the Alzheimer’s disease process can be decelerated. The main concern is to encourage the population at risk to take responsible actions at the earliest stage of the onset of the disease. Persuasive communication i...
Argumentation is the inferential strategy aimed at coping with inconsistent knowledge within a logic theory. Abstract argumentation is based on a graph model where nodes are uninterpreted claims and arcs denote relationships between pairs of claims....
In abstract argumentation frameworks, the computation of stable extensions is an important semantic task for evaluating the acceptability of arguments. The current approaches for the computation of stable extensions are typically conducted through me...
Farmland market regulation and related political interventions are prominent in the current discussion, in particular, because the market faces big price increases. This discussion is often shaped by subjective and emotional perceptions. Its complexi...
Robert Nola has recently defended an argument against the existence of God on the basis of naturalistic explanations of religious belief. I will critically evaluate his argument in this paper. Nola’s argument takes the form of an inference to t...
In this study, we aim to assess the effect of debating via Zoom (DVZ) on secondary students’ critical thinking, argumentation writing, and social skills. This research was conducted using a structured methodology, employing a quasi-experimental...
The legitimacy of government is often linked to its ability to maintain order and secure peace. Thomas Hobbes’ political philosophy provides a clear description of why government is necessary, as human nature and the structures emerging out of...
Rainstorm disasters have wide-ranging impacts on communities, but traditional information collection methods are often hampered by high labor costs and limited coverage. Social media platforms such as Weibo provide new opportunities for monitoring an...
