Autonomous systems are rapidly gaining the capacity to recognize their own errors and utilize social strategies to mitigate the trust deficit that accompanies those errors. While previous research has catalogued the effects of trust repair attempts in human-human relationships, much remains unknown about the consequences of similar strategies when administered by autonomous systems such as self-driving vehicles. While we tend to treat computers like social actors, autonomous systems may have a wider spectrum of perceived human-likeness and may be subject to different interpretations of the purposefulness of their errors. This paper seeks to understand the consequences of these factors on the effectiveness of trust repair attempts administered by self-driving cars, and the results highlight the importance of considering human-likeness and purposefulness in the design of autonomous systems.

Humans are created in the image and likeness of God. This divine image is an essential potential in human beings, which is immediately damaged and lost because of sin. But by the redemptive work of Christ, the man who believed in Him regained his self-image recovery. This article aims to show one of the learning patterns with constructive systems in Christian Religious Education in an effort to realize self-actualization that has the image and likeness of God. By using descriptive methods, the conclusion of this literature study shows that learning with this system is able to help students to realize their actualization that has the image and likeness of God. Abstrak: Manusia diciptakan menurut gambar dan rupa Allah. Citra ilahi ini merupakan potensi hakiki dalam diri manusia, yang dalam seketika rusak dan hilang oleh karena dosa. Namun oleh karya penebusan Kristus, manusia yang percaya kepada-Nya beroleh kembali pemulihan gambar diri itu. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan salah satu pola belajar dengan sistem konstruk-tivistik dalam Pendidikan Agama Kristen dalam upaya mewujudkan aktualisasi diri yang memiliki gambar dan rupa Allah tersebut. Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif, simpulan kajian literatur ini memperlihatkan bahwa pembelajaran dengan sistem ini mampu menolong siswa untuk mewujudkan aktualisasi dirinya yang memiliki gambar dan rupa Allah.

AbstractCentral to Hurley's argument is the position that imitation is “automatic” and requires inhibition. The evidence for this is poor. Imitation is intentional, involves active comparison between self and other, and involves new learning to improve self-other likeness. Abnormal imitation behaviour may result from impaired learning rather than disinhibition. Mentalizing may be similarly effortful and dependent upon learning about others.

Evaluations of community-based programs for delinquents have usually addressed differential outcomes or cost-efficiency, but generally ignored the treatment environments themselves. Yet milieu characteristics are important in assessing treatment quality. The present research examined several environmental dimensions in 11 group home programs. Teaching-Family programs scored significantly higher on observational and self-report measures of staff-youth relationships and interactions, staff teaching activities and disapproval of deviance, the family-likeness and pleasantness of the program atmosphere, and the extent of prosocial behavior displayed by the participants. Several of the measures were significantly negatively correlated with self-reported delinquency. The results suggest that, contrary to some stereotypes, behavioral programs can be pleasant, positive, and familylike while offering structured treatment.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines intra-European relations in narratives of Swedish lifestyle migrants living permanently or part-time on the Spanish Sun Coast. It pays particular attention to the complexities of Swedish migrants’ cultural identities and patterns of self-segregation in the Spanish society by investigating the following questions: How do boundaries of social networks that Swedish lifestyle migrants participate in, or interrelate, with a sense of ‘likeness’? In what ways are the formation of these ‘international’ networks mediated through ideas of cultural similarity and parallel difference, and how do such notions both override and uphold boundaries tied to social, cultural and racial divisions? It is argued that the formation of so-called ‘international communities’ on the Spanish Sun Coast tend to cluster mainly north-western European lifestyle migrants, which calls for an analysis of ‘orientations’ towards a certain ‘likeness’, and the function of these spaces and communities as spaces of ‘institutional whiteness’ that work as a ‘meeting point’ where some bodies tend to feel comfortable as they already belong here. The social and cultural boundaries that surround these communities destabilises the idea of a common, culturally homogeneous European identity and display intra-European racial divisions mediated through discourses of cultural differences. What appears is a south–north divide built upon a deep Swedish postcolonial identification with Anglo Saxon and north-western European countries and cultures, and a parallel dis-identification with (the former colonial powers in) southern Europe.

Full textAbstract:
Alexander Freer, “A Genealogy of Narcissism: Percy Shelley’s Self-Love” (pp. 1–29) Readers have long considered Percy Shelley narcissistic. They have good reason: his account of love is premised on a lover’s thirst for likeness. Yet Shelley’s idea of love also obliges us to rethink the concept of narcissism, and especially its relations to solipsism and selfishness. Shelley works through Plato’s accounts of love in his translation of The Symposium, titled The Banquet (1818), and the accompanying Discourse on the Manners of the Antient Greeks, before developing a related but distinct account of his own, in which lovers seek from each other the things that they already know but cannot otherwise enjoy. Ultimately, Shelley’s self-love is not a form of solitary satisfaction, but an ethical and aesthetic project that is dependent on the recognition of another. Tracing Shelley’s thinking on love from his engagement with Plato to his own poetry and prose, this essay develops an alternate, non-Freudian genealogy of narcissism.

Agan, Jimmy. ""Like the one who serves" : Jesus, servant-likeness and self-humiliation in the Gospel of Luke." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 1999. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=179543.
Full textAbstract:
This study challenges the current scholarly consensus regarding Luke 22:27c and Jesus' claim to "servant-likeness" (as opposed to "servanthood", a term which obscures the force of Jesus' comparison). It investigates three facets of Jesus' claim - its significance, its basis, and its permanence. Detailed exegetical analysis of Luke 22:24-27 demonstrates that Jesus' servant-likeness is more closely related to the Lucan motif of self-humiliation than to texts in which Jesus engages in "practical service" or acts with others' interests in view. An analysis of Jesus' critique of self-exaltation in Luke's Gospel, and the application of this analysis to Luke's overall christological portrait, suggests that the basis of Jesus' claim to be "like the one who serves" is to be found in his consistent refusal to depart from the path of humiliation appointed for him as messiah. Finally, a comparison of Luke 22:27c and 12:37b serves as a starting point for assessing the permanence of Jesus' demand for and embodiment of servant-like self-humiliation. Ultimately, both verses reflect Jesus' conviction that the kingdom of God, whether present or future, is governed by the principal of status-transposition or humiliation-exaltation. According to the Lucan Jesus, the values associated with self-humiliation will find continued expression in the heavenly kingdom. For Jesus, and for Luke, the work of redemption must displace worldly concern for rank, status, and honor. To live a life that reflects this truth is what it means to be "like the one who serves".

Full textAbstract:
This research applies psychological theory to human-computer interaction and the creation of a virtual assistant (VA) for use in self-‐service checkouts (SSCOs). Existing research investigating the impact of interface agents and avatars in virtual shopping, gaming, and teaching environments presents a range of findings, yet there is comparatively little investigating the impact of a VA in kiosk-based applications. Based on the premise that human-computer interaction resembles human-human interaction, the potential cognitive and social benefits of implementing a visually present VA in SSCOs are examined. Further, this research addresses how the impact of VAs is affected by its gender and human‐likeness. To this end, this thesis brings together two lines of research: human-likeness (in the human-computer interaction literature) and gender (in the psychology literature). Through four studies, it is demonstrated that a VA's similarity to the user, in terms of gender and human-likeness, has an impact on performance with, attitudes towards, and willingness to use a VA. The first study showed automatic orienting to onscreen locations indicated by the gaze of an animated human-like virtual character. Observers could also respond to this cue based on their own knowledge and goals (unlike peripheral cues or a static virtual character). In the second study, women strongly preferred to gender-match with their VAs, but this did not affect their reaction times in a visual search task; men showed no overall preference for gender but were sometimes slower to respond when a female VA was on screen. The tendency to gender-match in males steadily decreased with age, such that the majority of younger males preferred to gender-match whilst the majority of older males preferred to interact with a female VA. Both men and women preferred more realistic VAs, resulting in faster reaction times. The third study focussed on the development of a questionnaire for measuring perceived VA usability and credibility, and, after reliability and validity testing, offered a new measure for assessing these perceptions. This measure consisted of four sub-constructs: warmth and capacity (sub-constructs of credibility) and usefulness and ease-of-use (sub-constructs of usability). Responses to items evaluated in Study 3, in parallel with Study 4, showed that similar agents tend to be perceived as warmer, higher in capacity, and more useful – but only when participants were assigned a gender-matched, humanoid VA. When participants chose their VA, similarity had no impact on the newly developed scales for measuring perceived usability and credibility. Moreover, the positive ratings of similar VAs that had been assigned to participants did not impact willingness to take its advice; in direct contrast, when participants had chosen their VA, positive ratings of the VA (regardless of similarity) correlated with willingness to take its advice. Finally, consistent with the findings of Chapter 4, female participants who chose their VAs tended to gender-‐match (to the equal exclusion of the male and non-human VAs) and half the male participants tended to choose a male VA. Unexpectedly, this was followed by a preference for the non-human, non-gendered VA rather than for the female VA, attributed to its novelty. In general, participants tended to choose a VA taking human form, rating these options more attractive and likable. Overall, the results suggest a preference for and performance-based benefit of human-like VAs. Preferences for VA gender can be interpreted in terms of differential social networking strategies employed by men and women. The research also shows that the perceptions, preferences, and behaviours induced by a VA that is matched to the user (in terms of gender and human- likeness) are not always in line. Thus, retailers should weigh the importance of each of these outcomes (e.g. perceptions of usability or checkout speed) before choosing VA gender and its level of human-likeness, or should allow users to make their own decisions about the appearance of their VA.

Full textAbstract:
This phenomenological research aimed to illuminate the nature and effects of ordinariness in nursing and to discover whether the phenomenon enhanced the nursing encounter.
The researcher worked as a participant observer with six registered nurses in a Professorial Nursing Unit. Following each interaction, the researcher wrote her impressions in a personal-professional journal and audiotaped conversations with the respective nurses and patients to gain their impressions.
Using a theoretical framework of the phenomenological concepts of lived experience, Dasein, Being-in-the-world and fusion of horizons as an underpinning methodology, an initial hermeneutical analysis and interpretation of the impressions generated qualities and activities indicative of the aspects of the phenomenon of ordinariness in nursing.
The second phase of the analysis and interpretation sought to illuminate the nature of the phenomenon itself. Eight actualities of the nature of the phenomenon emerged: 'allowingness,' 'straightforwardness,' 'self-likeness,' 'homeliness,' 'favourableness,' 'intuneness,' 'lightheartedness' and 'connectedness.' These actualities were described in relation to the phenomenon of interest.
The effects of the phenomenon were the creative potential to enhance the nursing encounter and included many and various effects of facilitation, fair play, familiarity, family, favouring, feelings, fun and friendship.
The research found that nurses and patients shared a common sense of humanity, which enhanced the nursing encounter. Within the context of caring, the nurses were ordinary people, perceived as being extraordinarily effective, by the very ways in which their humanness shone through their knowledge and skills, to make their whole being with patients something more than just professional helping. The shared sense of ordinariness between nurses and patients made them as one in then- humanness and created a special place, in which the relative strangeness of the experience of being in a health care setting, could be made familiar and manageable.

Full textAbstract:
The book’s epilogue explores the place of musical portraiture in the context of posthumous depictions of the deceased, and in relation to the so-called posthuman condition, which describes contemporary changes in the relationship of the individual with such aspects of life as technology and the body. It first examines Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo to view how Bernard Herrmann’s score relates to issues of portraiture and the depiction of the identity of the deceased. It then considers the work of cyborg composer-artist Neil Harbisson, who has aimed, through the use of new capabilities of hybridity between the body and technology, to convey something akin to visual likeness in his series of Sound Portraits. The epilogue shows how an examination of contemporary views of posthumous and posthuman identities helps to illuminate the ways music represents the self throughout the genre of musical portraiture.

Full textAbstract:
This book constitutes the first exploration of artistic self-reflection in Islamic art. In the absence of a tradition of self-portraiture, how could artists signal their presence within a painting? Centred on late Timurid manuscript painting (ca. 1470-1500), this book reveals that pictures could function as the painter’s delegate, charged with the task of centring and defining artistic work, even as they did not represent the artist’s likeness. Influenced by the culture of the majlis, an institutional gathering devoted to intricate literary performances and debates, late Timurid painters used a number of strategies to shift manuscript painting from an illustrative device to a self-reflective object, designed to highlight the artist’s imagination and manual dexterity. These strategies include visual abundance, linear precision, the incorporation of inscriptions addressing aspects of the painting and the artist’s signature. Focusing on one of the most iconic manuscripts of the Persianate tradition, the Cairo Bustan made in late Timurid Herat and bearing the signatures of the painter Bihzad, this book explores Persian manuscript painting as a medium for artistic performance and self-representation, a process by which artistic authority was shaped and discussed. In addition, each chapter explores a different theme: how painters challenged the conventions of royal representation (chapter 1); the role of writing in painting, its relation to ekphrasis and the context of the majlis (chapter 2); image, mimesis and potential world (Chapter 3); the line and its calligraphic quality (Chapter 4); signature (Chapter 5); the mobility of manuscripts (epilogue).

Full textAbstract:
This book explores the wide-ranging but underexamined genre of musical portraiture. It focuses in particular on contemporary and experimental music created between 1945 and the present day, an era in which conceptions of identity have changed alongside increasing innovation in musical composition as well as in the uses of abstraction, mixed media, and other novel techniques in the field of visual portraiture. In the absence of physical likeness, an element typical of portraiture that cannot be depicted in sound, composers have experimented with methods of constructing other attributes of identity in music, such as character, biography, and profession. By studying musical portraits of painters, authors, and modern celebrities, in addition to composers’ self-portraits, the book considers how representational and interpretive processes overlap and differ between music and other art forms, as well as how music is used in the depiction of human identities. With focus on a range of musical portraits by composers including Peter Ablinger, Pierre Boulez, Morton Feldman, Philip Glass, György Ligeti, and Virgil Thomson, and through studies of director Robert Wilson’s ongoing series of video portraits of modern-day celebrities and his “portrait opera” Einstein on the Beach, Musical Portraits offers to contribute to the study of music since 1945 through a detailed examination of contemporary understandings of music’s capacity to depict identity, and of the intersections between music, literature, theater, film, and the visual arts.

Full textAbstract:
The text is an attempt to show that in the axiology of Karol Wojtyła, the category of freedom occupies a special place, which appears as one of the inalienable features of humanity, resulting from the fact that man was created in the image and likeness of God. Freedom, as understood by Wojtyła, also seems to be closely related to human dignity, of which it is an expression and manifestation. Depriving a man of his freedom, depriv-ing him of the possibility of self-determination and free decision making is a blow to human dignity, challenging his subjectivity and is associated with humiliation, which is also always a violation of man’s limits and dignity. As it is known, dignity, in Wojtyła’s anthropology, plays the role of a key concept, constitutive of his understanding of human.

Full textAbstract:
An icon always stands for something beyond itself. This chapter explores the various assumptions made by thinking of that relation in such terms as likeness, similarity, and representation that do not capture the nature of a poem as icon. Therefore the term semblance as “simulation” is chosen to avoid misconceptions that result in the separation of self from world. Semblance is the ontological underpinning of iconicity that relates it to the “felt life” of our epistemic reality. From a phenomenological perspective, the “being” of reality is in-visible, hidden within the precategorial realms of our preconscious sensory, motor, and emotive processes. The essence of being does not reside in a unified sense of one entity but in life in all its various manifestations. The ways in which poems create semblance are manifold and varied, as indicated in discussions of poems by Brendan Galvin, W. S. Merwin, and Wallace Stevens.

This chapter shifts to three-dimensional art and studies scribal statues. It traces back the history of this statuary motif through time, studying changes in the texts inscribed on the statue and the gesture of the right hand. Analyzing these elements, the chapter investigates the relationships between statue, patron, and text. A close inspection of this statuary motif reveals a growing emphasis on the act of writing and a reinterpretation of the literacy act. Focusing on the Eighteenth Dynasty patrons who commissioned such statues once again suggests that men of military background like Haremhab play a significant role in disseminating images of literacy through their self-representation.
