We performed an empirical study to investigate whether thecontext of interruptions makes a difference. We found thatcontext does not make a difference but surprisingly, people completed interrupted tasks in less time with no differencein quality. Our data suggests that people compensate forinterruptions by working faster, but this comes at a price:experiencing more stress, higher frustration, time pressureand effort. Individual differences exist in the managementof interruptions: personality measures of openness toexperience and need for personal structure predict disruption costs of interruptions. We discuss implicationsfor how system design can support interrupted work

Also kind of a related tool: Interruptions impact on deep work simulator

This article examines racist attitudes toward Atatu¨rk and Kemalism from the 1930s to the 1960s. Liberal, leftist and conservative-Islamist critics of republican Turkey’s founder and his policies have contributed to a widely shared image that, even if Kemalism was not essentially racist, the Kemalist approach to religious and ethnic minorities could hardly be described as egalitarian. Thus one is taken by surprise to uncover a parallel layer of virulent racist criticism, hidden under the deposit of decades of anti-Kemalist discourse

Dialectical logic was founded by German famous philosopher F. Hegel, but it has not been laid on mathematics for a long time. In this paper author explains the dialectical logic pure mathematically, and shows that the classic formal logic, its mathematical expression is Boolean algebra(includes multiple value system), is a special case from dialectical logic, and the true-valued function for dialectical logic is a continuous function valued on closed interval and defined on time-space axes system. The Aristotle three laws of formal logic are expanded into expression of dialectical logic, and Russell paradox is expanded into the case of multiple order. Some new theorems for Boolean operators and the matrix expression for De Morgan’s theorem of multiple variables dialectical logic are given. At the end of the paper, linear or nonlinear dialectical logic are defined and analysis properties of dialectical logic true-valued function are pointed.
