Nested presuppositions: A manipulative type of informative presupposition

This paper introduces the new pragmatic concept of Nested Presuppositions (NestPs) and develops a relevance- theoretic account that explains its cognitive dynamics and manipulative mechanisms. The first section lays necessary theoretical foundations, by defining pragmatic presupposition, compiling a taxonomy of the types of presupposition and their triggers, identifying and critiquing research gaps in eight of the most relevant studies and drawing the conclusion that none of the existing definitions or accounts of pragmatic presupposition can adequately capture the manipulative characteristics and mechanisms of the instances of informative presupposition at issue. In section two, I shall introduce the concept of NestPs as the filler of those gaps, grounding it in Textual Rhetoric and Relevance Theory and highlighting its defining characteristic of information structures, i.e. how the message is segmented and its degrees of prominence and suppression are assigned in order to achieve strategic goals. I further problematize the relationship between NestPs, on the one hand, and informativeness and manipulation, on the other, in light of Gricean and Relevance-Theoretic linguistics, establishing that NestPs are inherently manipulative. I finally expound the manipulative dynamics of NestPs, in terms of the information processing mechanisms they employ, by capitalizing on the concepts of Ostensive Stimulus, Cognitive Principle of Relevance, Principle of Optimal Relevance and Comprehension Procedure, and suggesting the two new mechanisms of Cognitive Underpassing and Structure-Content Cognitive Conflict

Does Leisure Involvement Impact on Service Performance? Empirical Finding from the Indonesian Culinary Industry

Many studies have examined the frontline service staff performance of various industries but rarely found to be associated with leisure involvement in the culinary industry. This study discusses the relationship between leisure involvement and service performance with mediation of variables subjective to well-being and job satisfaction. The research model used is PLS or partial least squares modelling, by taking samples from the frontline staff of culinary industry which amounts to 313 samples in Bandung City, Indonesia. The results of this study show that there is a significant relationship between leisure involvement and service performance, as well as with the mediator. In conclusion, an employee who is often involved in leisure activities is likely to be happy and will result in his good performance in serving customers.  This is also influenced by his satisfaction in work, although the results are not too significant. The implication is that the management and businessmen need to pay greater attention to the welfare of employees should they wish to improve the service performance of their restaurants.

ESASCF: expertise extraction, generalization and reply framework for optimized automation of network security compliance

Organizations constantly exposed to cyber threats are compelled to comply with cyber security standards and policies for protecting their digital assets. Vulnerability assessment (VA) and pene- tration testing (PT) are widely adopted methods for security compliance (SC) to identify security gaps and anticipate security breaches. However, these methods for security compliance tend to be highly repetitive and resource-intensive. In this paper, we propose a novel method to tackle the ever-growing problem of efficiency in network security auditing by designing and developing an Expert-System Automated Security Compliance Framework (ESASCF). ESASCF enables industrial and open-source VA and PT tools to extract, process, store and re-use the expertise in similar scenarios or during periodic re-testing. ESASCF was tested on different size networks and proved efficient in terms of time efficiency and testing effectiveness. ESASCF takes over autonomously the SC in re-testing and offloading the human expert by automating repeated segments SC and thus enabling experts to prioritize important tasks in ad-hoc compliance tests. The obtained results show a performance improvement by cutting the time required for an expert to 50% in the context of typical corporate networks’ first security compliance and 20% in re-testing. In addition, the framework allows a long-term impact illustrated in the knowledge extraction, generalization, and re-utilization, which enables better SC confidence independent of the human expert skills, coverage, and wrong decisions resulting in false negatives
