β¦ Synopsis
Cited by many as distinctive of first-order logic are the bivalence of its statements and the extensionality of its operators, among them the three operators '~', '&', and 'V'. It is to that bivalence and that extensionality, we are told, that the logical entailments and, hence, logical truths peculiar to the logic are due. But first-order logic is a far more diverse thing than its exponents usually allow. As proof I submit here a new semantics for it, one in which statements are susceptible of up to 2 t~~ values, the operators '&' and 'V' are intensional, and yet the logical entailments and logical truths that first-order logic acknowledges are all preserved.

## Abstract In this paper we propose a Kripkeβstyle semantics for second order intuitionistic propositional logic and we provide a semantical proof of the disjunction and the explicit definability property. Moreover, we provide a tableau calculus which is sound and complete with respect to such a s
Modeling information security policies is an important problem in many domains. This is particularly true in the health care sector, where information systems often manage sensitive and critical data. This article proposes to use nonmonotonic reasoning systems to control access to sensitive data in
