Full textParents of picky eaters often find it challenging to motivate their children to eat healthy, balanced meals. Two important goals of ensuring healthy lifestyles for our children include teaching them about the importance of a balanced, nutritious diet, and modeling healthy meals at home. For parents of picky eaters, this can seem like an impossible task!

Full textToday, there is an uncertainty regarding idea development, and a lack of knowledge in the existing literature regarding early idea maturation in development projects has been found. While previous research within the area of innovation mainly investigating ideas within the Fuzzy Front End, this master thesis focus on the management of ideas in the early phases of development projects.This master thesis strives to map the current way of working with ideas and methods used to develop ideas in the beginning of product and knowledge development projects at Sandvik Coromant. The aim is to shed light upon the gap regarding early idea development, with the long-term objective to improve the management of ideas in the beginning of projects to foster innovation. Five larger projects, that have used facilitated idea generation workshops, were selected to be part of the study. Interviews and a validation workshop were conducted in order to examine the development of ideas early in the projects. The differences between rejected ideas and further developed ideas, the belief in, and the fate of rejected ideas in development projects were investigated.The findings showed that the maturation of rejected and further developed ideas occurs at different times of the projects, as well as in different core elements. Further, the result indicates that ideas aiming to solve sub-problem in development projects do not mature to the same extent in all core elements comparing to earlier research on maturation of product ideas. There were no differences found between rejected and further developed ideas regarding documentation and the spreading of ideas. Neither did the belief in an idea in the beginning of the projects differ between the rejected and the further developed ideas.

Full textThe work argues that Descartes established his metaphysics of bodies by means of a two-step argument: the former (ultimately grounded on the theory of ideas) being intended to prove that bodies are extended substances; the latter (which takes advantage of Descartes’ entire natural philosophy) aimed at proving that bodies are nothing but extended substances. It shows that for Descartes there are no arguments from ‘first philosophy’ that could prove that bodies are nothing but extended substances. The work shows that Descartes’ argument to eliminate all “real qualities” and “substantial forms” of the Scholastics is ultimately an argument to the best explanation driven by ontological parsimony. In other words, a razor. More in particular, it was the theory of vision to provide the paradigm case for Descartes’ ontology of material substances. The work concluded that, contrary to what claimed by virtually all Cartesian scholars, the thesis that bodies are nothing but extended things is not therefore the starting point of Descartes’ physics, but its crowning achievement.

Full textLa innovación abierta pretende que las organizaciones sean más competitivas mediante la gestión de los recursos de las entradas y salidas de la organización. Estas organizaciones utilizan discusiones participativas como un mecanismo para estimular ideas innovadoras. Sin embargo, los resultados de la mayor parte de estas discusiones participativas no son tan innovadoras como se espera. Algunos académicos tratan de abordar este problema, centrándose principalmente en la identificación de incentivos adecuados para fomentar las ideas, pero no han prestado atención a las características estructurales de la discusión participativa. Esta tesis se basa en teorías sobre la gestión y la creatividad para desarrollar un nuevo marco sobre el efecto que provoca la diversidad en la innovación de las discusiones participativas. El marco propuesto es validado utilizando datos obtenidos en múltiples discusiones participativas. Por otra parte, una nueva metodología se propuesta para evaluar el grado de consenso cuando se mide la innovación de las ideas, el cual está adaptado a la naturaleza difusa de ideas innovadoras. En suma, las tres preguntas de investigación abordadas en esta tesis son: 1) Como la diversidad de la discusión participativa afecta a la capacidad de innovación? 2) ¿Cómo las características estructurales de la discusión participativa afectan la capacidad de innovación? 3) ¿Cómo se puede medir el consenso a la hora de valorar la capacidad de innovación de las ideas, teniendo en cuenta los diferentes grados de experiencia de quienes toman las decisiones ?. Los resultados indican que los antecedentes de la innovación son: 1) Cuando hay menos diversidad del individuo antes de la idea, 2) Cuando hay más diversidad del individuo en la idea actual y 3) Si es la primera vez que se presenta una idea.
Open innovation seeks to make organizations more competitive by managing the inflows and outflows of their organization. These organizations use crowdsourced discussions as a mechanism to encourage innovative ideas. However, the results of most of these crowdsourced discussions are not as innovative as expected. Some scholars seek to address this problem by mainly focusing on identifying appropriate incentives to encourage ideas, but they have not paid attention to how the structural characteristics of the crowdsourced discussion generate innovative ideas. This thesis draws from theories on management and creativity to develop a new framework about the effect of knowledge diversity on innovation in crowdsourced discussions. The proposed framework is validated using data obtained from multiple crowdsourced discussions. Moreover, a new methodology is presented for assessing the innovativeness of the ideas generated during crowdsourced discussions that is suited to the fuzzy nature of novel ideas. In sum, the three research questions addressed in this thesis are: 1) how does the diversity of the crowdsourced discussion affect innovativeness? 2) how do the characteristics of the crowdsourced discussion affect innovativeness? 3) how can the innovativeness of ideas be rated in crowdsourced discussion to take into consideration the different degrees of expertise from the decision-makers? The results indicate that less prior individual diversity, more current individual diversity, collaboration among participants, and first time posters foster innovation in crowdsourced discussion.

Full textArchitektūros istorija Vakaruose ir Lietuvoje yra tyrinėjama įvairiais aspektais. Apie tokius reikšmingus architektūros elementus kaip šviesa, spalva, garsas ir vanduo yra buvę reikšmingų specializuotų studijų šių reiškinių sąveikos su vieno ar kito istorinio laikotarpio architektūros kūriniais aptarti. Tačiau iki šiol tokio pobūdžio tyrimai apsiribodavo siaurais, fragmentiškais, griežtai specializuotais žvilgsniais į atskirų kultūros istorijos tarpsnių architektūrą arba tokio buvo pabrėžiami tik tam tikri, labai specifiniai sąveikos tarp architektūros kūrinių ir to meto pasaulėžiūros aspektai. Todėl nėra pakankamai ištyrinėta atskirais istorijos tarpsniais vyravusių metafizinių, religinių ir filosofinių pažiūrų įtaka meninei architektūros raiškai. Nesant tokių tyrimų, neįmanoma adekvačiai rekonstruoti architektūros istorinės raidos vaizdo. Nagrinėjant architektūros istorijos ir teorijos problematiką Lietuvoje, akivaizdu, kad labiausiai trūksta darbų, kuriuose atskirais kultūros istorijos tarpsniais vyravusių šviesos, spalvos, garso ir vandens sampratų įtaka architektūros meno raidai būtų įvertinta sintetiškai, apibendrintai ir nuosekliai, pasitelkus idėjų istorijos tyrimo metodologiją bei tarpdisciplinių kultūrologinių tyrimų analizės principus. Tai paskatino gilintis į minėtų elementus santykius ir sąveikas su architektūra nuo seniausių iki moderniųjų laikų, pasitelkiant idėjų istorijos atveriamas tyrimo galimybes. Tokios problematikos ir tyrimo perspektyvos pasirinkimas... [to full text]

The aim of this paper is to perform a review of Biomimicry as a science today in environmental, engineering, and manufacturing fields, as well as to educate readers on the history of Biomimicry as a whole and how it is studied. As more evidence surfaces about the effect of our presence on the Earth, the scientific community is faced with the challenge of solving these problems. After introducing these concepts, an in-depth review of two of the most studied topics in biomimicry is conducted: how the lotus remains clean in a dirty swamp and how the gecko can stick to any surface. These two topics are taken from the classical beliefs on how they work and leads them through into today's world, focusing on how the mechanisms behind them were discovered. Both sections end with a review of current applications of the technologies that have been developed by studying these living organisms. Everything is wrapped up with a discussion of why we must continue to study biomimicry and apply its principles to our engineering and production practices.

Full textThe aim of this dissertation is to problematize the role played by the ideas of reason in the process of unfolding of knowledge, namely, to show in which manner the ideas of reason contribute into turning possible to conceive nature (or the world) as a knowable systematic totality and also turning possible the sort of systematic experience that gives meaning to the conceptualizer act of the understanding and to the scientific activity as a whole either, something that, as we argue for, inevitably depends on the chance to think the world as something organized. In the Critique of Pure Reason Kant asserts that knowledge starts with intuitions, goes through concepts and ends up with ideas, and also that every science has an idea on its basis, given this, what we do in the first part of the text is exactly to clarify the nature of ideas in themselves, in such a way that there is no doubt about what they are; we also seek to face some objections made by commentators about the necessity of the employment of the ideas to the constitution of safe knowledge. In the second part we analyze the first part of the Appendix, finding there the issue investigated here and showing how Kant sets the proper uses of the ideas of reason in a way that the old errors of metaphysics are not restored. At last, in the third part, we aim to show the particular character that the idea of an architect and creator God plays to ensure the necessary order to the settlement of knowledge, i.e., the attribution to an idea of reason the condition of founder of the possibility to conceive nature in an ordered way and, thereafter, knowable.

Full textConsidering the relevance of Evanildo Becharas Moderna gramática portuguesa (Modern Portuguese grammar), for both pedagogical and academic scenarios in Brazil, this study aimed to investigate how theories presented in the two phases of this work affect the processing of linguistic facts. The corpus assessed was composed of the 36th and 37th editions of Moderna gramática portuguesa, that were published in 1997 and 1999, respectively, as we consider them the editions that establish the transition from the first to the second phase of the work. Based on theoretical and methodological perspective by Sylvain Auroux (2008; 2009), mainly in regards to the guiding principles of this language sciences historian\'s work (a purely phenomenological definition of the object, epistemological neutrality and moderate historicism) and concerning to some concepts he established (such as grammaticalization, linguistic tool, retrospection horizon, and historical objects domain), our work methodology has been conducted to establish Evanildo Becharas retrospection horizon and to compare the two grammar texts mentioned above aimed to verify: (i) how graeco-latin theory and structuralism complement each other in the 1st release of MGP; (ii) how structuralism is still reflected in the work after its reconfiguration (since the 37th edition); and (iii) how the functionalist theory affects language processing in the 2nd release of the work. Thus, in order to investigate comprehensively the theoretical complementarity presented in Evanildo Becharas work and to understand how and why this phenomenon has happened, this research pertains specifically to the field of History of linguistic ideas.

Para o efeito, proceder-se-á ao levantamento de algumas crises das ideias económicas ocorridas no passado, bem como a um resumo alargado dos factores que estão na origem da presente crise. A análise centra-se na dimensão teórica das crises em estudo e na sua resolução. Com o intuito de comparar as diferentes crises analisadas, procuraremos identificar mecanismos comuns à evolução das mesmas, bem como avaliar o estado de evolução da presente crise. Além disso, procuraremos determinar, de modo global, qual o papel desempenhado pelas crises das ideias económicas na evolução do conhecimento teórico-económico.
The purpose of the present work is to evaluate the current crisis of economic ideas from a historical standpoint. To that end, we will offer a brief survey of a few major crises of economic ideas occurred in the past, as well as an analysis of the different factors responsible for the present crisis. We will focus on the theoretical dimension of the crises and their solutions. Aiming to compare the different crises under analysis, we will try to identify mechanisms shared by all of them, and thereby to assess the current state of evolution of the present crisis. Moreover, on a larger scale, we will try to determine the role played by the crises of economic ideas within the evolution of theoretical knowledge.
