Varlamov, Oleg. Mivar databases and rules. ru: INFRA-M Academic Publishing LLC., 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.12737/1508665.
Full textAbstract:
The multidimensional open epistemological active network MOGAN is the basis for the transition to a qualitatively new level of creating logical artificial intelligence. Mivar databases and rules became the foundation for the creation of MOGAN. The results of the analysis and generalization of data representation structures of various data models are presented: from relational to "Entity — Relationship" (ER-model). On the basis of this generalization, a new model of data and rules is created: the mivar information space "Thing-Property-Relation". The logic-computational processing of data in this new model of data and rules is shown, which has linear computational complexity relative to the number of rules. MOGAN is a development of Rule - Based Systems and allows you to quickly and easily design algorithms and work with logical reasoning in the "If..., Then..." format. An example of creating a mivar expert system for solving problems in the model area "Geometry"is given. Mivar databases and rules can be used to model cause-and-effect relationships in different subject areas and to create knowledge bases of new-generation applied artificial intelligence systems and real-time mivar expert systems with the transition to"Big Knowledge".
The textbook in the field of training "Computer Science and Computer Engineering" is intended for students, bachelors, undergraduates, postgraduates studying artificial intelligence methods used in information processing and management systems, as well as for users and specialists who create mivar knowledge models, expert systems, automated control systems and decision support systems.
Keywords: cybernetics, artificial intelligence, mivar, mivar networks, databases, data models, expert system, intelligent systems, multidimensional open epistemological active network, MOGAN, MIPRA, KESMI, Wi!Mi, Razumator, knowledge bases, knowledge graphs, knowledge networks, Big knowledge, products, logical inference, decision support systems, decision-making systems, autonomous robots, recommendation systems, universal knowledge tools, expert system designers, logical artificial intelligence.

Full textAbstract:
Si se considera que la sociedad actual, tal como funciona, funciona bien, resulta sensato pensar en maneras de conservar su funcionamiento; para quien piensa que es urgente la transformación radical, resulta suicida ser conservador. Este libro es para quienes piensan lo segundo. Como explica Werner Jaeger en Paideia, la educación, consiste en la producción de seres humanos según cierto modelo. Como el alfarero que moldea una vasija, cada sociedad. ¿En qué consistirá una educación pensada para transformar las sociedades, en lugar de conservarlas? Este libro desarrolla una idea de educación a partir de la filosofía de Spinoza, según la cual la formación no consiste en adquisición de una forma, según un molde adecuado, sino en el incremento en maneras de ser, en la felxibilización de la propia forma, en la autorrealización, como la entiende el filósofo noruego Arne Naess. La construcción de esta nueva idea de formación implica una reconstrucción del pensamiento de Spinoza, en la que se descubren afinidades entre este pensador y la fenomenología fe Edmund Husserl, la idea de individuación de Gilbert Simondon, la cibernética y la poesía de Walt Whitman. Esta visión de la educación implica una nueva concepción de la institucionalidad educativa: habrían que ceder gran parte del control a la periferia (profesores, alumnos, instituciones), en contra del estricto control que hoy en día se ejerce mediante el ranqueo y las pruebas estandarizadas. Para medir el éxito de una educación encaminada a producir la diferencia, es necesario combinar la heteroevaluación mediante estándares con una autoevaluación genuina, es decir, una evaluación en la que el evaluado mismo especifica los raseros y dimensiones con que ha de medirse. Más allá de lo institucional, esta visión de la educación implica una nueva concepción de la cohesión social, basada no en la homogeneización, sino en la producción de múltiples y rizomáticas relaciones de simbiosis basadas en diversidad misma.

Producto de una fusión entre dos modelos de análisis del discurso, la perspectiva sociocognitiva, de Teun A. van Dijk, y la perspectiva del modelo interaccional, de Adriana Bolívar, en este libro analizo los textos de planeación estratégica de seis organizaciones antioqueñas: Grupo Corona, Grupo Bancolombia, Grupo Éxito, Productos Familia, Nacional de Chocolates e Industrias Haceb. Describo las palabras de estas organizaciones, de las cuales surge su gramática, la gramática del control, con el fin de hacernos conscientes de esas formas y sus efectos, y así usarlas tanto en la producción como en la comprensión de sentido, con responsabilidad social, por encima del uso de la fuerza, del maltrato, del acoso. La palabra dignifica, el diálogo construye, las interacciones forman pares e impares productivos. A eso le apuesta este libro: a hablar con respeto.

Full textAbstract:
Interrupted Time Series Analysis develops a comprehensive set of models and methods for drawing causal inferences from time series. Example analyses of social, behavioural, and biomedical time series illustrate a general strategy for building AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) impact models. The classic Box-Jenkins-Tiao model-building strategy is supplemented with recent auxiliary tests for transformation, differencing and model selection. New developments, including Bayesian hypothesis testing and synthetic control group designs are described and their prospects for widespread adoption are discussed. Example analyses make optimal use of graphical illustrations. Mathematical methods used in the example analyses are explicated assuming only exposure to an introductory statistics course. Design and Analysis of Time Series Experiments (DATSE) and other appropriate authorities are cited for formal proofs. Forty completed example analyses are used to demonstrate the implications of model properties. The example analyses are suitable for use as problem sets for classrooms, workshops, and short-courses.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores issues relating to the board of directors. Focusing on the formal model of corporate governance, it considers why corporate decisions are made through the exercise of hierarchical corporate authority instead of consensus. Specifically, it examines the survival advantage that a bureaucratic hierarchy confers on a large corporation and which of its constituencies should elect the board. It first outlines the key functions of the board of directors drawing on the unitary and dual board models. It then asks why corporations are run by boards of directors rather than by shareholders or the chief executive officer. It discusses why ownership and control are separated in the corporate form, with special emphasis on the US experience, along with the economic rationale for vesting control in a group rather than in an individual. Finally, it analyses how boards fail and looks at the reforms that have been implemented to improve their performance.

Full textAbstract:
In modern democracies, demands put on governments to govern are high. However, the governing of states has proven difficult. The difficulties can be explained by the fact that modern states possess a complexity unparalleled in any other organization. Ambiguity, conflicting interests, compromises, and the risk of overload reveal governments as everything but those rational, coordinated and problem-solving entities that they routinely are presented as. However, this does not mean that states are ungovernable. Governments are often able to govern state activities, but they do it in other ways than those implied by contemporary management models with their hierarchical, top-down-oriented, command-and-control methods. Based on a multitude of empirical studies in Sweden, this chapter discusses six strategies that the Swedish government uses when governing state agencies: creating formal organizations, positioning, fostering competition, distancing, forming communication channels, and storytelling.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter discusses a selection of major approaches to modality and mood in generative syntax. The primary focus lies on the representation of modal auxiliaries and verbs. Key issues relating to modal adverbs and a selection of aspects pertaining to mood are reviewed. Central points addressed are the structural options for different types of modality including the raising vs control debate and the possible structural correlates of epistemic modality addressed in the literature. The chapter incorporates a discussion of “coherent constructions” following a tradition established for German modals. The latter serves as an illustration of a different type of possible syntactic analysis and, in virtue of its data coverage, also of points of variation even between closely related languages like English and German.

Full textAbstract:
Crime is the result of numerous interconnected and interdependent crime event decisions made by potential offenders, victims, and crime preventers. The majority of these decisions go unobserved, and the situations within which they take place are difficult to control in support of traditional experimental studies. For these reasons, it can be difficult to identify causal links between individual behavior and observable crime phenomena and, in turn, to assess the veracity of proposed crime event decision calculi. This chapter discusses the use of agent-based modeling (ABM), and particularly agent-based social simulation (ABSS), in studying such crime event decision calculi. It outlines how ABM can be used to construct formal models of crime event actors, the decisions they make, and the interactions that occur among them. Subsequently, it proposes that ABSS provide unique means to formally assess the explanatory capacity of proposed crime event decision calculi in explaining observable characteristics of crime.

Full textAbstract:
This book provides the first detailed study of policing and civilian crime control in nineteenth-century England. It provides a sustained, empirically rich critique of existing accounts, which present the modern history of crime control as a process whereby the state wrested governmental power from the civilian public. According to the orthodox interpretation, the formation of new, ‘professional’ police forces in the nineteenth century is integral to the decline of an early modern, participatory, discretionary culture of self-policing, and its replacement by a modern, bureaucratic system of crime control. This book critically challenges the established view, and presents a fundamental reinterpretation of changes to crime control in the age of the new police. It breaks new ground by providing a highly detailed, empirical analysis of informal, civilian crime control—which reveals the tremendous activity which ordinary people displayed in responding to crime—alongside a rich survey of formal policing and criminal justice. With unique conceptual clarity, it seeks to reorient modern criminal justice history away from its established preoccupation with state systems of policing and punishment, and move towards a more nuanced analysis of the governance of crime. More widely, the book provides a valuable vantage point from which to rethink the role of civil society and the state in modern governance, the nature of agency and authority in Victorian England, and the historical antecedents of the pluralized modes of crime control which characterize contemporary society.

Full textAbstract:
Los enfoques constructivistas del aprendizaje en lo que va del presente siglo se caracterizan por iniciar una revolución sustantiva y estructural en todos los campos del conocimiento científico, del pensamiento y del desarrollo humano. Así lo demuestran diversas publicaciones y líneas de investigación. El nuevo siglo representa un período que invita a superar las tradicionales cargas de elección a favor de los modelos pedagógicos dominantes para pensar y hacer educación en tiempos difíciles, azotados por nuevas formas de dominación, control, exclusión y desciudadanización que, directa o indirectamente, afectan la vida social y escolar, dado que los poderes oligárquicos necesitan de la violencia para imponer su modelo de pensamiento único neoliberal. Los modelos pedagógicos como bien lo recoge la teoría científica son síntesis que se expresan en esquemas y que al mismo tiempo reflejan la complejidad del entramado de relaciones conceptuales, categoriales y dimensiones de un constructo epistemológico estructural y sistémico de integración del todo con sus partes para la construcción del conocimiento. Desde una perspectiva de la actividad educativa, un modelo es una construcción social que refleja las políticas educativas de un contexto sociocultural y económico concreto, es coherente con la filosofía y la concepción teórica de la educación, pretende unidad de códigos culturales que se concretan en las vivencias diarias de la comunidad que atiende una institución pedagógica y sugiere líneas de investigación y procedimientos concretos de actuación en el campo didáctico; de otro lado, un modelo pedagógico, es un sistema formal que busca interrelacionar los agentes básicos de la comunidad educativa con el conocimiento científico para conservarlo, producirlo y recrearlo dentro de un contexto histórico, geográfico y cultural determinado. Por lo tanto, el modelo pedagógico en una institución educativa en básico y fundamental, precisa las orientaciones: filosóficas, epistemológicas, sociológicas, psicológicos, pedagógicas e intercultural para el trabajo pedagógico-investigativo y de vinculación en el aula por cada docente.

Bull, Anna. Class, Control, and Classical Music. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190844356.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Through an ethnographic study of young people playing and singing in classical music ensembles in the south of England, this book analyses why classical music in England is predominantly practiced by white middle-class people. It describes four ‘articulations’ or associations between the middle classes and classical music. Firstly, its repertoire requires formal modes of social organization that can be contrasted with the anti-pretentious, informal, dialogic modes of participation found in many forms of working-class culture. Secondly, its modes of embodiment reproduce classed values such as female respectability. Thirdly, an imaginative dimension of bourgeois selfhood can be read from classical music’s practices. Finally, its aesthetic of detail, precision, and ‘getting it right’ requires a long-term investment that is more possible, and makes more sense, for middle- and upper-class families. Through these arguments, the book reframes existing debates on gender and classical music participation in light of the classed gender identities that the study revealed. Overall, the book suggests that inequalities in cultural production can be understood through examining the practices that are used to create a particular aesthetic. It argues that the ideology of the ‘autonomy’ of classical music from social concerns needs to be examined in historical context as part of the classed legacy of classical music’s past. It describes how the aesthetic of classical music is a mechanism through which the middle classes carry out boundary-drawing around their protected spaces, and within these spaces, young people’s participation in classical music education cultivates a socially valued form of self-hood.

Cohort and intervention studies yield relative risk and risk difference, also known as attributable risk, and number needed to treat (NNT). Count and person-time methods are shown. Additive and multiplicative models for two or more exposures are shown. Case-control studies give primarily odds ratio; the relationship between this and relative risk is explained. Different sampling schemes for case-control studies include methods were a case can also be a control. Surveys yield results similar to cohort studies.

Full textAbstract:
This book presents computational interaction as an approach to explaining and enhancing the interaction between humans and information technology. Computational interaction applies abstraction, automation, and analysis to inform our understanding of the structure of interaction and also to inform the design of the software that drives new and exciting human-computer interfaces. The methods of computational interaction allow, for example, designers to identify user interfaces that are optimal against some objective criteria. They also allow software engineers to build interactive systems that adapt their behaviour to better suit individual capacities and preferences. Embedded in an iterative design process, computational interaction has the potential to complement human strengths and provide methods for generating inspiring and elegant designs. Computational interaction does not exclude the messy and complicated behaviour of humans, rather it embraces it by, for example, using models that are sensitive to uncertainty and that capture subtle variations between individual users. It also promotes the idea that there are many aspects of interaction that can be augmented by algorithms. This book introduces computational interaction design to the reader by exploring a wide range of computational interaction techniques, strategies and methods. It explains how techniques such as optimisation, economic modelling, machine learning, control theory, formal methods, cognitive models and statistical language processing can be used to model interaction and design more expressive, efficient and versatile interaction.

Full textAbstract:
This article reveals two ‘ideal type’ approaches to HRM that address the issue of control of workers in rather different ways. The ‘high-commitment’ model appears to cede control to employees by emphasizing self-control alongside but also as a means of generating high commitment. The ‘performance management’ model allows managers to retain control and uses HR practices as a means of directing workers' efforts more effectively. The former emphasizes intrinsic control and intrinsic rewards; the latter emphasizes external control and extrinsic rewards. Attempts have been made to integrate elements of these two contrasting approaches. At a strategic level, this might be achieved through the concept of flexibility.

Miller, Nicholas R. Social Choice Theory and Legislative Institutions. Oxford University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acrefore/9780190228637.013.1.
Full textAbstract:
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Politics. Please check back later for the full article.Narrowly understood, social choice theory is a specialized branch of applied logic and mathematics that analyzes abstract objects called preference aggregation functions, social welfare functions, and social choice functions. But more broadly, social choice theory identifies, analyzes, and evaluates rules that may be used to make collective decisions. So understood, social choice is a subfield of the social sciences that examines what may be called “voting rules” of various sorts. While social choice theory typically assumes a finite set of alternatives over which voter preferences are unrestricted, the spatial model of social choice assumes that policy alternatives can be represented by points in a space of one or more dimensions, and that voters have preferences that are plausibly shaped by this spatial structure.Social choice theory has considerable relevance for the study of legislative (as well as electoral) institutions. The concepts and tools of social choice theory make possible formal descriptions of legislative institutions such as bicameralism, parliamentary voting procedures, effects of decision rules (e.g., supramajority vs. simple majority rule and executive veto rules), sincere vs. strategic voting by legislators, agenda control, and other parliamentary maneuvers. Spatial models of social choice further enrich this analysis and raise additional questions regarding policy stability and change. Spatial models are used increasingly to guide empirical research on legislative institutions and processes.

Full textAbstract:
Perception: A Multisensory Perspective examines multisensory interactions as the key process behind how we perceive our own body, control its movements, perceive and recognize objects, respond to edible objects, perceive space, and perceive time. In addition, the book discusses multisensory processing in synaesthesia, multisensory attention, and the role of multisensory processing in learning. Multisensory phenomena in these domains are used to identify general principles, to introduce formal models, to present experimental methods, to discuss pathologies, and to illustrate applications within the domain of multisensory processing. The book is written to be understandable to the educated non-specialist and will be of interest to professionals who need to take into account multisensory processing in domains such as, for instance, physiotherapy and neurological rehabilitation, human–computer interfaces, or marketing. As the chapters address topics that are mostly left out of standard perception or medical textbooks, this book will also serve as a useful reference for the specialist perception scientist and for clinicians specialized in the treatment of sensory deficits.

Full textAbstract:
Modern Control Theory and the Limits of Criminal Justice updates and extends the authors’ classic general theory of crime (sometimes referred to as “self-control theory”). In Part I, contemporary evidence about the theory is summarized. Research from criminology, psychology, economics, education, and public health substantially supports the lifelong influence of self control as a significant cause of problem behaviors, including delinquency and crime, substance abuse, school problems, many forms of accidents, employment instability, and many poor health outcomes. Contemporary evidence is supportive of the theory’s focus on early socialization for creation of higher levels of self control and other dimensions of the theory, including the roles of self control, age and the generality or versatility of problem behaviors, as well as the connections between self control and later teen and adult problem behaviors. The book provides methodological assessments of research on the theory, contrasting the control theory perspective with other developmental perspectives in criminology. The role of opportunity, the relationship between self and social control theory, and the role of motivation are addressed. In Part II, control theory is taken to be a valid theory and is used to explore the role of criminal sanctions, especially policing and prisons, and policies about immigration, as methods to impact crime. Modern control theory provides an explanation for the general lack of effectiveness of formal, state sanctions on crime and instead provides substantial justification for prevention of delinquency and crime by a focus on childhood. The theory effectively demonstrates the limits of criminal sanctions and the connection between higher levels of self control and positive life-course outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
This article is concerned with only one aspect of the vast literature on MNE–state relations: the impact of the MNE on sovereignty, autonomy, and control. It argues that the mainstream literature of the sovereignty at bay era did not predict the end of the nation-state or conclude that sovereignty is critically compromised either in theory or practice. In fact, while the terms ‘sovereignty’, autonomy', and ‘control’ appear frequently in these discussions, they are rarely defined or even used precisely. At the end of the day MNEs are international or cross-border entities which are of the existing inter-state system firmly rooted in national territorial jurisdiction. The problems posed by the traditional MNE for both states and the inter-state system tend to involve issues of jurisdictional asymmetry, jurisdictional overlap and control, rather than sovereignty in its formal sense. The hierarchical or Fordist structure of the traditional MNE reinforces the core values of the modern international political system: state sovereignty and mutually exclusive territoriality.

The Oxford Handbook of Economic Imperialism examines unequal commercial, trade, and investment gains at the international level and explores how countries and nations can have exploitative relations. The book contains thirty-four chapters written by academics and experts in the field of international political economy. The chapters in the Handbook look at the history of economic imperialism from the early modern age to the present. They demonstrate the persistence of economic imperialism in today’s postcolonial world and the enduring control wielded by great powers even after the end of formal empire. The book reveals how emerging powers are expanding economic control in new geographic and geopolitical contexts. The Handbook highlights the significance of economic imperialism in the structures, relations, processes, and ideas that help sustain poverty and conflict worldwide.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the Soviet restoration model and former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl's revivalist model. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) hoped to use its weight as a victor in the Second World War to restore the old quadripartite mechanism of four-power control exactly as it used to be in 1945, before subsequent layers of Cold War modifications created room for German contributions. This restoration model, which called for the reuse of the old Allied Control Commission to dominate all further proceedings in divided Germany, represented a realist vision of politics run by powerful states, each retaining their own sociopolitical order and pursuing their own interests. Meanwhile, Kohl's revivalist model represented the revival, or adaptive reuse, of a confederation of German states. This latter-day “confederationism” blurred the lines of state sovereignty; each of the two twenty-first-century Germanies would maintain its own political and social order, but the two would share a confederative, national roof.

Full textAbstract:
Revisionist histories of censorship have contended that the state’s infrequent and essentially ad hoc interventions in print in early modern England reveal that the Whig history of censorship is a mere fiction. This chapter explores the spectrum of procedures for managing print in the period, the economic and the ideological, the typical and the exceptional, and suggests that the very arbitrariness of interventions may have been part of their effectiveness. The law combined with less formal, everyday procedures to provide a range of means of managing print that was neither the Whigs’ monolithic control nor the Revisionists’s liberal freedom.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes how in Thailand—which never really experienced a process of colonization and decolonization—the writing of history went back to the tradition of royal annals and was, for large parts of the twentieth century, under the direct influence, if not control, of the royal family. Indeed, modern history-writing in Thailand remained dominated by the presence of the monarchy. In addition to the quasi-divine status of the kings in traditional historiography, the kings acquired a newer significance in the tumultuous modern era. While European colonization was the great historical rupture that thrust other Southeast Asian kingdoms into modernity, Siam was not directly colonized. Credit for the modernization of the Thai kingdom and the preservation of formal political independence—two central ideas in the formulation of Thai nationalism—was written into official history as being due to the genius of the kings.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers the idea that personal information is impossible to control and how this assumption operates in discussions about sexting. It argues that current models of privacy and information flows online do not adequately account for consent and instead stresses the need for better policies and a more robust conversation about social norms of privacy online. Building on feminist theories of sexual consent and challenging the view that all information should be free, the chapter proposes a framework for privacy that requires explicit consent for the circulation of any private information. It explains how thinking about consent in the circulation of media leads to a range of alternative responses to privacy violations. It also maintains that privacy should be seen as context-dependent, not technology-or format-dependent.

Full textAbstract:
This article addresses top managers as drivers for corporate social responsibility (CSR). It summarizes the responsibility roles implied by or assigned to managers in selected models of corporate social performance. Given this backdrop for business and society research, it focuses on the importance of moral leadership in directing the formal and informal organization toward socially responsible goals. In other words, the emphasis is on the focal role of top executive managers in driving social responsibility. This focus is not meant to convey that middle or lower managers are irrelevant to CSR. It is simply that their decision-making discretion is largely circumscribed by top managers, which is why middle and lower managers often face uncomfortable moral dilemmas when their values are incompatible with those established at a higher level of command. Finally, this article points to some contextual factors that impact socially responsible leadership in terms of external and internal controls.

O livro “Inovações e tecnologias voltadas para as ciências exatas vol. 1”, editado e publicado pela Latin American Publicações Ltda., reúne três capítulos que tratam sobre temas de relevância no contexto das ciências sociais aplicadas. Assim, os trabalhos deste livro abordam sobre: a utilização de fibras nanoestruturadas de TiO2 como fotocatalisadores para a geração de hidrogênio. Dentro deste contexto, neste trabalho, foram obtidas através da técnica de electrospinning fibras nanoestruturadas de TiO2 e, tratadas termicamente entre 650 ºC e 800 ºC. Estas fibras foram caracterizadas por difração de raios X (DRX) para a determinação das fases presentes e da estrutura cristalina formada, por microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e de transmissão (MET) para análise microestrutural. Os métodos de Brunnauer Emmet e Teller (BET) e Barret Joyner Halenda (BJH). O próximo trabalho descreve os efeitos da administração crônica de frutose sobre parâmetros gestacionais, crescimento e desenvolvimento, bioquímicos e estresse oxidativo de ratas Wistar. Trata- se de um experimento onde foram utilizadas duas gerações de ratas (Rattus norvegicus) da linhagem Wistar prenhas, provenientes do Biotério da URI distribuídas nos grupos controle (6 animais) e tratado (24 animais). E, por fim, o último trabalho elaborou uma análise técnica comparativa entre os principais modelos de transmissões presentes no mercado: automática e manual. Primeiramente, foi realizada uma comparação em relação à parte mecânica estudando os principais cálculos associados ao desempenho de modelos equipados com esses mecanismos e foi realizada uma análise econômica. Desta forma agradecemos todos os autores e autoras pelo esforço colocados em seus trabalhos e esperamos contribuir com a comunidade científica, no avanço do conhecimento científico.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past fifty years, Wendell Berry has been arguing that our most pressing ecological and cultural need is a renewed formal intelligence. Such an intelligence does not look for big, one-size-fits-all solutions. Rather, it discerns and fosters patterns of health. When W. H. Auden famously declared that “poetry makes nothing happen,” he was correct that poetry, like the other arts, doesn’t coerce matter in the way that a tractor or an oil rig or a bomb does. Yet poetry is “a way of happening,” its beauty shaping readers’ imaginations to better perceive and understand formal patterns. Such formative work fosters the deep, lasting change needed to cultivate a more sustainable culture and economy. In particular, Berry’s literary forms embody and cultivate virtues of renewal. Though our contemporary culture fears and shuns death, natural ecosystems provide a model in which death feeds new life and healthy human communities follow an analogous order. Cultures maintain such a sustainable order by practicing virtues of renewal, virtues that stand in sharp contrast to the techniques of control preferred by our industrial culture. Combining literary analysis with cultural criticism, this book argues that Berry’s literary forms shape his readers to desire and practice these virtues of renewal. Poetry can’t magically create a healthy economy, but Berry’s poetry, essays, and fiction cultivate the kind of imaginative, virtuous people who can, as he puts it, “practice resurrection.”

“Un propósito fundamental de este escrito yació, como lo indica su título, en proponer un nuevo modelo de desarrollo alternativo para Colombia como cimiento básico del combate contra el mismo, y, por contera, contra el financiamiento de las actividades al margen de la ley concentradas mayormente en los movimiento guerrilleros y paramilitares que ya se expandían por buena parte de la geografía nacional. Junto con mi libro La Nueva Agricultura, una contribución al proceso de paz en Colombia, en el fondo se trata de una bitácora complementaria en busca de una genuina terapia para alcanzar y consolidar la anhelada pero elusiva paz, comenzando por el campo, que ha sido el principal escenario de las múltiples formas de violencia que de tiempo atrás vienen perturbado la tranquilidad pública”.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last thirty years the comparator hypothesis has emerged as a prominent account of inner speech pathology. This chapter discusses a number of cognitive accounts broadly derived from this approach, highlighting the existence of two importantly distinct notions of inner speech in the literature; one as a prediction in the absence of sensory input, the other as an act with sensory consequences that are themselves predicted. Under earlier frameworks in which inner speech is described in the context of classic models of motor control, I argue that these two notions may be compatible, providing two routes to inner speech pathology. Under more recent accounts grounded in the architecture of Bayesian predictive processing, I argue that “active inference” approaches to action generation pose serious challenges to the plausibility of the latter notion of inner speech, while providing the former notion with rich explanatory possibilities for inner speech pathology.
