Rakhinsky, Dmitry V., Mikhail P. Yatsenko, Irina G. Sinkovskaya, and Svetlana P. Shtumpf. "Inconsistency in Information Resources of Modern Education." International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET) 17, no. 03 (February 18, 2022): 192–203. http://dx.doi.org/10.3991/ijet.v17i03.25763.
Full textAbstract:
The article investigates the problem of the ambiguous influence of modern information technologies on education. The authors analyse not only the positive effects of computerisation. They also identify the problems faced by the subjects of the educational process under the influence of digitalisa-tion. As outlined in the article, uncontrolled information flows prevent stu-dents from forming the holistic worldview. The dominance of information technologies in education also leads to the transformation of subject-object relations in the process of cognition. The teacher, whose role is changed sig-nificantly, acts more frequently as a coordinator. The usage of gadgets in the educational process provides an opportunity to receive an education at a dis-tance. However, the widespread use of distance learning technologies leads to a decline in the quality of educational services. This resulted from the need to develop new methods. In addition, the constant updating of infor-mation technologies does not allow the teacher to develop a sustainable methodology for teaching their subject. The authors prove that the active use of digital technologies in the information society implies the harmonious combination of traditional and modern information technologies. This fully applies to the modern Russian education system, which is in an intermediate state between traditional pedagogical methods and modern computer tech-nologies. As the authors point out, the problem is to find the optimal educa-tional option for the formation of a harmonious global-regional educational system. It should not only include all the advantages of the latest information technologies, but also preserve all the positive achievements of great practi-tioner-teachers and scientists.

Terminology surrounding the subject of “Kabbalah” has long been notoriously inconsistent and complex. What limited scholarly attention has been devoted to this quandary has in some cases served only to increase the confusion, resulting in significant problems for cataloging and for reference services.
This essay explores the background of variant orthographies, including origins, definitions, and usages, and considers the implications of this inconsistency for libraries. A bibliography of pertinent literature is included.

It is a good omen that the tribunals have started applying International Law Commission's Articles on state’s responsibility in a logical order. But this application has created another inconsistency. Tribunals neither interpret these Articles consistently nor do they apply the same tests developed under an individual Article to determine the attribution of a specific act to a state. This inconsistent attitude is affecting the predictability of investment law. After highlighting the importance of consistency in this subject, this paper suggests the preferable interpretation to be adopted consistently.

Abstract This article critiques Jean-Luc Marion’s understanding of nihilism based on its inconsistency with his own theological convictions. It contextualises Marion’s account of nihilism within his relatively precise theological and philosophical critique of the modern subject. Then, it identifies how he broadens his philosophical account by relating it to an interpretation of culture. Finally, the article argues that Marion overextends the applicability of the concept in a way that is inconsistent with his overall theological position and further nuance is needed in order to read the signs of the times.

This research aims to get the description of cognitive dissonance of high educated young adult smoker women, such as the source of dissonance and how to lessen their dissonance. By qualitative research method through depth interview with four research subjects, it is found out that logical inconsistency, general opinion, and past experience are the source of dissonance. Culture norm becomes the source of dissonance only on three subjects. The way the four subjects lessen their cognitive dissonance are changing behavior element and increasing cognitive element whereas changing cognitive element is only done by one subject.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of the foregoing study is the analysis of the legal regulation of the protection of the self-employed to the extent of non-discrimination and equal treatment. The author positively assesses the very fact of adopting the Equality Act, which contributed to raising the standards of protection of self-employed people in this area. Unfortunately, however, a number of detailed regulations included in this act raise justified doubts and deserve criticism. Moreover, some provisions of the Equality Act are inconsistent with international agreements binding Poland, and also violate Art. 32 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. This leads to an unjustified lowering of the standards of protection against discrimination and unequal treatment of the self-employed in relation to the legal situation in which employees find themselves. A critical analysis of the Equality Act shows the far-reaching inconsistency of the legislator and the inconsistency of the entire system of protection against discrimination. This, in turn, makes this law ineffective, as shown by statistics in which a very small number of cases are brought to court and end up with a positive outcome for the person discriminated against.

Full textAbstract:
Rylands Latin MS 164 is one of over forty manuscript books of hours in the John Rylands Library. It was made in France in the middle of the fifteenth century and its extensive, high quality illumination associates its production with the worshop of the so-called Bedford Master. However, it has not been the subject of any sustained published research and consequently the significance of variations in the mise-en-page of the books pages has not been scrutinised. This article focuses on the variations in two replacement pages, one within the calendar and one beginning the Penitential Psalms, and in the case of the page beginning the Penitential Psalms considers whether the replacement could have been made by Sir Gregory Osborne Page-Turner, the owner of Rylands Latin MS 164 in the early nineteenth century.

In a subjective experiment to evaluate the perceptual audiovisual quality of multimedia and television services, raw opinion scores offered by subjects are often noisy and unreliable. Recommendations such as ITU-R BT.500, ITU-T P.910 and ITU-T P.913 standardize post-processing procedures to clean up the raw opinion scores, using techniques such as subject outlier rejection and bias removal. In this paper, we analyze the prior standardized techniques to demonstrate their weaknesses. As an alternative, we propose a simple model to account for two of the most dominant behaviors of subject inaccuracy: bias (aka systematic error) and inconsistency (aka random error). We further show that this model can also effectively deal with inattentive subjects that give random scores. We propose to use maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) to jointly estimate the model parameters, and present two numeric solvers: the first based on the Newton-Raphson method, and the second based on alternating projection. We show that the second solver can be considered as a generalization of the subject bias removal procedure in ITU-T P.913. We compare the proposed methods with the standardized techniques using real datasets and synthetic simulations, and demonstrate that the proposed methods have advantages in better model-data fit, tighter confidence intervals, better robustness against subject outliers, shorter runtime, the absence of hard coded parameters and thresholds, and auxiliary information on test subjects.

Journal of Child Language 42, no. 4 (July 30, 2014): 786–820. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0305000914000397.
Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTWe tested four predictions based on the assumption that optional infinitives can be attributed to properties of the input whereby children inappropriately extract non-finite subject–verb sequences (e.g. the girl run) from larger input utterances (e.g. Does the girl run? Let's watch the girl run). Thirty children with specific language impairment (SLI) and thirty typically developing children heard novel and familiar verbs that appeared exclusively either in utterances containing non-finite subject–verb sequences or in simple sentences with the verb inflected for third person singular -s. Subsequent testing showed strong input effects, especially for the SLI group. The results provide support for input-based factors as significant contributors not only to the optional infinitive period in typical development, but also to the especially protracted optional infinitive period seen in SLI.

Thirty-two learning disabled and 32 regular class children matched on reading age were randomly assigned to either a general or a specific instruction condition. In both treatments subjects were shown how to monitor text for internal inconsistency. In addition, the specific instruction condition provided explicit instruction in how to use a cross-referencing technique to evaluate the internal consistency of a given text. Results indicated significant Subject Group x Instruction Condition interactions on all three dependent measures: detection, identification, and comprehension competence. Learning disabled subjects exhibited an initial production deficit in comprehension-monitoring skills. Subjects who received explicit instruction in the use of the cross-referencing evaluative technique demonstrated higher performance levels in both comprehension monitoring and reading comprehension.

Growing problem of inconsistency of the academic system of education with the new needs of society and individual, lack of existing structures of education contribute to the emergence of a different approach for the organization of educational activities, which is non-academic. As a philosophical phenomenon, it fully complies with the students' diverse interests and possibilities. Nonacademic education functions outside the academic education, free from strict rules and regulations, it focuses on specific educational requests of different social, professional, demographic groups.

Full textAbstract:
Raises some key issues needing to be addressed by indexing practitioners and scholars in order to deal more effectively with the problems of unacademic indexing. Terminological confusion over the notion of subject and the continuing debate over its permanent or indeterminate nature provide no clear nor consistent explanation of what indexers might actually look for when indexing a document. These problems are highlighted by empirical evidence on measures of inter-indexer consistency suggesting that substantial inconsistency is the rule rather than the exception. Little attention has been paid to how indexers actually determine the subjects of documents or what guides them in establishing the aboutness. While the literature identifies some broad approaches to subject analysis there is little supporting empirical evidence and few attempts to explicate any specifiable procedures. A productive step forward with indexing research would be to begin by examining how indexers actually undertake the process of subject analysis and to explore systematically factors that guide and influence this process. This would shed some light on a theory of subject analysis, clarify some of the central concepts of indexing, and provide an intelligent knowledge-base for effective, academic indexing practice.

A sample of 27 individuals with nasal obstruction (18 males and 9 females: 18-28 years) was selected and compared with matched control subjects whom diagnosed as nasal breathers. Each subject underwent an intraoral clinical examination and a cephalometric radiograph analysis. The purpose of this evaluation was to clarify the issue whether or not breathing mode is related to cranial base texture. The results showed a significant increase in the cranial base angle in the sample group. On the other hand no clear evidence was found about the inconsistency of the pituitary gland concerning its size; instead it showed significant correlations with the other cranial measurements in the sample group.

Full textAbstract:
The inconsistency of defining STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education is being addressed in this article. Seeing STEM education as having implications ranging from migration to workforce policies, it is vital to clarify its (inter)disciplinary structure and curriculum orientation. Using a literature review and analysis of documents, STEM education is being tracked from a post-sputnik era to more recent informal and private endeavors, revealing a multiplication of the STEM acronym and the diversification of its curriculum orientation. The findings confirm that there is no consensus on the exact scientific fields assigned to STEM, and the list of disciplines involved ranges from broad (including Social sciences, Humanities or Arts) to narrow (dominated by Natural and Formal sciences). The article implies that historical context and reforms in natural science education partly explain this inconsistency, as the subjects and their interdisciplinary relations are closely linked to overall curriculum orientation, which could be seen as cyclical in nature, swinging from child centered to labor market or subject centered curriculum, inviting to discuss modern science education not as singular STEM, but as plural STEMs viable to multiple pedagogical approaches, integration patterns and aims.

Full textAbstract:
Fashion plays a significant role in the global creative industries and in urban social space, and has recently evolved from a peripheral topic to a valued interdisciplinary subject coined as “fashion-ology,” investigating how fashion as an intangible and changeable meaning is systematically produced by and amongst different cultural intermediaries, and how it is cyclically diffused in society. As an exercise in understanding the conflictual notions of fashion in operation under the rubric of production inside a local fashion media organization, this study emphasizes how text and image in fashion representation can be multifarious and are intertwined with the commercial and capitalist logic of the fashion industry. This research supplements related ethnographic studies and discerns how industry practitioners actually negotiate fashion meanings and are constantly torn between encoding desirable (luxury) fashionability, while at the same time anticipating and serving different advertisers’ interests.Fieldwork data portray partly conflicting, partly consistent notions of fashion among different workers in the fashion media. The focus was: What shapes the collective interpretation and production of fashionability within a media organizational setting? The responses demonstrate the effect of advertising on fashion editorial pages and its major role in shaping fashionability, in addition to the contradictory rules guiding how media people strive to present a preferred face of luxury fashion in the magazine and why such an attempt was unsuccessful in this case.

Full textAbstract:
The work examines two main interpretations of the objectivity of knowledge in the philosophy of K. Popper. The first includes an assessment of the properties of theories, namely, belief in their meaningfulness and/or truth. The second refers to the role of the subject and the scientific community in the process of cognition, with the subject viewed as asource of errors and the community as a source of objectivity. Criticism of the postpositivist direction of the philosophy of science shows the inconsistency of such an approach, therefore, this work proposes an under-standing of the objectivity of knowledge through an appeal to the mechanisms of the subject's perception.

Full textAbstract:
SUMMARY Privacy audits are an area of auditing practice that are becoming increasingly relevant to audit firms as well as to regulators such as privacy commissioners. Privacy audit reports can be a resource for consumers and groups representing them. However, there is limited consistency between the standards applied in privacy audits when compared across different auditors and across different jurisdictions. Inconsistency of standards reduces international comparability of privacy audits, thereby lowering their potential value to the entities subject to audit, and to users of the reports. We suggest a set of fundamental principles for privacy audits drawn from recent proposals for legislative and/or policy reform by leading official bodies in the U.S. and the European Union. We apply this framework to 30 privacy audit reports issued in five countries. The results show that few conform to the proposed fundamental principles. This inconsistency limits their value and effectiveness.

Full textAbstract:
The central concept of this article is the idea of utopia as an optimistic image of a societal order achievable in the distant future. Tracing the process of gradual decline in the emergence of new positive utopias through examples of literary dystopias over the last century, the author proceeds to discuss the topic of the end of utopia. The idea is that, despite its long existence, it is only recently that the absence of new models for a happy future becomes critical, that utopia begins to be recognized as a problem. In this regard, the author proposes to temporarily shift researchers' attention from the already fairly well developed matters of the characteristic features, signs, and functions of utopias of past centuries to factors contributing to the formation of social utopias in culture. Most theorists point to active transformational processes in societal structures and relationships as a factor stimulating the emergence of new utopian ideas, which the author admits to being true, but insufficient. An equally important factor is the obligatory presence of a certain subject of utopia. At closer examination, it seems that the status of the subject of utopia in the contemporary world is largely problematic for many reasons, unlike the subject of classical utopias of the modern era. Firstly, the idea that any utopian project could be brought to fruition raises serious concerns. Secondly, the tendency to perceive utopia as a naive project significantly reduces the degree of its possible influence on the way of thinking and the direction of social change. Thirdly, the lack of clarity about the subject's qualities required to create utopias hinders active creativity regarding new utopian projects. This, in turn, is directly related to the ongoing unresolved problem of the “death” of the subject, brought forth by postmodern philosophers. Against this background, there is a notable inconsistency of contemporary attitudes, which are focused, on the one hand, on the debunking of the subject as an exclusively rational being, and, on the other, on the rationalization of utopian impulses. In conclusion, the author puts forward a thesis about the need to regard the absence of utopia and the absence of a subject as causally interrelated situations. Finally, an idea is proposed about the priority of solving the problem of the subject in comparison with the problem of the end of utopia, or, in other words, about the impossibility of starting the process of forming new utopias until there is clarity about the figure of the new subject and the image of the new person.

From the point of view of the management theory, a megapolis is a complex non-stationary spatial system. The problem of making innovative decisions on the development of their infrastructure is caused by the presence of a large amount of information, its uncertainty and inconsistency. This article discusses the principles of building intelligent decision support systems of a situational type for the innovative development of the infrastructure of megacities. Solutions are formed by logico-analytical processing of data on the situation in general and special cases of situations for the considered subject of the megalopolis infrastructure. For the practical implementation of the decision-making mechanism, the article proposes a linguistic-numerical method for determining the potentially best alternative and a fuzzy situational algorithm for managing the subjects of the megalopolis infrastructure, based on the structural generality of the situations of a fuzzy situational network. The obtained results were tested on two real infrastructure subjects of Kyiv.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of this article is the search for individual psychological peculiarities of the inconsistency between cognitive and socio-psychological development of students. The relevance of this topic is substantiated by the theoretical diversity of research on the inconsistency in psychology and the need for the development of socio-cultural and cognitive skills in the educational process. A hypothesis is advanced that the inconsistency between the processes of cognitive and socio-personal development would be variable, determining the individual psychological methods of its resolution. The goal of this research lies in conjoint analysis of cognitive and personal characteristics for assessing the inconsistency of students’ development. The author applies the correlational research design, which is defined by the goal of research and specificity of the sampling. The survey involved 34 students (18 boys and 16 girls) of the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Ural Federal University aged 18-22 (M=18.3 3 SD=0.79). The article employs the psychodiagnostic questionnaires: Aizenka EPI test; short version of the “Dark Triad of Personality” scale adapted by M. S. Egorova and others; characterological questionnaire by G. Schmishek, “Rational-experiential” questionnaire by S. Epstein adapted by T. V. Kornilova, A. Y. Razvalyaeva; Mann-Whitney U-test, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. The following gender differences are revealed: for the female students, cognitive and personal characteristics are generally more interrelated, while the pronounced affective personality traits testify to the possible tension in social communication; male students demonstrated greater proneness to rational processing of information and formation of engineering skills, while weakness of integration of the inner and outer Self, which may increase narcissistic traits, reduce self-criticism, and cause difficulties in establishment and maintenance of social contacts. The acquired results empirically prove the importance of socio-psychological competence, and allow differentiating the technologies of its formation in the educational process.

Este trabajo se enmarca en la labor del grupo de trabajo del Observatorio de Política Exterior Argentina (OPEA) de la Escuela de Relaciones Internacionales de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario. La contribución tiene la pretensión de otorgar algunas líneas de análisis de la Política Exterior Argentina en el período que se extiende entre 2003 y 2012. Las gestiones del kirchnerismo se han caracterizado por una dinámica de ajuste hacia la profundización de un mismo modelo que somete a la PEA a una relativa irrelevancia e inconsistencia. La irrelevancia surge de la comparación con otras políticas públicas llevadas adelante por los Gobiernos en cuestión. La inconsistencia se basa en una lectura controvertida del contexto internacional, una sobreactuación y una sobrevaloración de la espontaneidad como variable válida para dar respuesta a los cambios acaecidos en el Sistema Internacional. La paradoja de la PEA reside entonces, en que a pesar de existir elementos constantes o variables persistentes en su accionar externo, su política exterior se encuentra sometida a una alta volatilidad. Abstract: This work is part of the labor developed by the Observatory of Argentina Foreign Policy (OPEA) School of International Relations at the National University of Rosario. The contribution does claim to provide some analyzes of Argentina's foreign policy in the period extending from 2003 to 2012. The Kirchner administrations have been characterized by a dynamic of adjustment and deepening of the same model, leading PEA to relative irrelevance and inconsistency. The irrelevance comes from a comparison with other public policies carried out by the governments concerned. Inconsistency is based on a controversial reading of the international context, overacting and an overestimation of spontaneity as a valid variable to respond to the changes in the International System. The paradox of PEA is that despite the existence of constant elements or persistent variables in its external action, its foreign policy is subject to high volatility.

We consider the peculiarity of unique events, such as those of a natural, evolutionary, and social nature. In particular, we consider unique social events that have had either the claim or the vocation of being salvific for humanity, such as the introduction over time of the Torah, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. We question how the claimed, general salvific vocation contrasts, or is inconsistent with, the non-retroactive temporality and locality of such events, which could not have happened otherwise. This undeclared and philosophically unsolved inconsistency then reappears in subsequent cultural contradictions and inadequacies, political and social allowances such as, for instance, homo-centrism and a pathological relation with Nature. In the case of Christianity, this inconsistency is represented by the painting reproduced in the article, a work in which the excluded humans and other living beings are represented as astonished by the occurrence in this moment, and in such an unnatural context. Furthermore, we consider the original understanding as related to concepts of classical physics, or of such concepts naively adopted within the texts considered sacred. However, in some religions, such as Christianity, the inconsistency is theologically solved. We stress the need to update the ancient original elementary, naïve, pre-classic philosophical and conceptual frameworks used so that these alleged inconsistencies and contradictions may be not only theologically solved, but also conceptually solved in more complex understandings of the world, for example, considering relativistic time, long-range interdependence, quantum entanglement, and theories of the universe. Without this update, the unique saving events can affect only religiously, that is, optionally, on the scientific and philosophical conceptions used. Without this adjustment, homo-centrist illusion and egoism prevail as the natural, linear consequential attitude without raising these questions. It rather assumes that the intervention is for involved human beings, and moreover for those who have had and are lucky enough to receive and practice it, ignoring the enormous inconsistency within the message itself, and its presumed general and available salvific nature. This requires theological, philosophical, and scientific interdisciplinarity. The theme concerns inconsistencies within and superficiality of the narratives and their treatment of the unique, salvific events, without any reference to possible general and retroactive effects of how these events are represented in the painting. We conclude that the subject should be debated by taking into account contemporary understandings, such as relativistic space and time, quantum physics, and of the universe, with new philosophical and anthropological approaches. This should be a matter of responsible philosophical and theological interdisciplinary debate involving science, suitable to establish new understandings.

Full textAbstract:
The analytical network process (ANP) has been widely used to evaluate the suppliers, an important subject in supply chain management. We propose an integrated ANP-based evaluation model, which systematically examines six key decision-making modules. They are: questionnaire design, matrix classification, consistency test, inconsistency identification, uncertain or missing values estimation, and sensitivity analysis of rank reversal. Module 1 involves questionnaire design formats, and Module 2 classifies the collected data. Module 3 introduces the maximum eigenvalue threshold as a critical value for consistency test. The induced bias matrix model (IBMM) is employed in Modules 4 and 5 to identify the inconsistent elements and to estimate the uncertain or missing values. In Module 6, we extend the concept of the IBMM to check for rank reversal when a new alternative or criterion is added that perturbs the evaluation system. The case company in the healthcare device industry under study validates that the proposed method is effective. The integrated model not only improves the questionnaire design and simplifies the ANP consistency tests, but also effectively identifies the inconsistent elements and estimates the missing values. The innovative approach to sensitivity analysis is especially insightful and contributes to the understanding of rank reversal issue.

Objectives This study seeks to strategically explore the rationale for the integrated operation of swimming and survival swimming within the physical education curriculum by identifying the operating conditions and problems of the swimming and survival swimming curriculum.
Methods To this end, a literature study was conducted to analyze and understand the relevant curriculum and laws, educational manuals, and previous studies.
Results The swimming curriculum is operated due to the inconsistency between the curriculum and the manual within the regular subject, the burden of teachers in conducting practical classes, etc., and the survival swimming curriculum due to the burden of conducting compulsory education as a non-specialty subject, and the teacher's non-professionalism in the subject. It was identified as the actual situation and problems.
Conclusions We propose as additional policies related to operation through the establishment of clear achievement standards for each stage and grade of swimming and survival swimming curriculum within the physical education curriculum of elementary and secondary schools, reorganization of the standard curriculum, and enhancement of the professionalism of the education subject.

SUMMARY The accuracy and other properties of analyst earnings forecasts represent potentially useful proxies for the impact of audit quality on client financial reports. Extant research in the auditing literature, however, is characterized by diametrically opposite predictions and inconsistent findings regarding the relationship between audit quality and analyst forecast accuracy. We argue that a potential reason for the inconsistency in the literature reflects these studies' focus on end-of-year forecast accuracy, which is subject to competing effects of audit quality. High-quality auditors may simultaneously improve forecast accuracy through their impact on the decision usefulness of clients' prior period reports, and reduce forecast accuracy by constraining client attempts to manage earnings in the direction of the consensus forecast. We argue and present evidence in support of the conjecture that analysts' beginning-of-year forecasts are a superior metric for identifying the impact of audit quality on the properties of analyst forecasts because the decision usefulness effect of audit quality should be dominant with respect to those forecasts. Data Availability: Data are available from sources identified in the article.

<p><em>This study aims to discuss the inconsistency of the principle of writing style that occurs in the WhatsApp instant messaging application. The method used in this study is a qualitative method using descriptive analysis techniques. The object in this study is the text of the conversation on the WhatsApp instant messaging application which is taken randomly and then documented in the form of images so that the chat can be recorded visually. The results of the study show that, there is an inconsistency in the principle of writing style in the WhatsApp instant messaging application which causes this form of variety to not be fully said to be a type of writing. This inconsistency is seen at the time of opening the chat, as much as </em><em>100</em><em>% of the existing data, the sender of the message uses a written variety with intact principles. However, when a reply is received and a conversation occurs, </em><em>55,</em><em>7% of the data shows that the principle of writing style is no longer fully applied. It was found that the sender of the message answered by using a sentence structure that was incomplete and there was an omission of elements, both subject, predicate, object, and description. In addition, it was also found </em><em>36%</em><em> data showing that in the delivery, the sender of the message sometimes uses certain emoticons as an effort to build context, which in the spoken variety is usually accommodated by gestures and facial expressions. In this regard, the researcher concludes that the variety that appears in the WhatsApp instant messaging application can no longer be said to be a written variety. Due to the inconsistency of applying the principles of written and spoken variety, the authors suggest that the variety that appears in this instant messaging application is called the inlis variety.</em></p>

Specialized vocabulary is one of the most important and dynamically developing subsystems of a national language. Due to the continuous development within society, most of the subject fields are characterized by considerable variability and terminological inconsistency. One of the possibilities to contribute to more effective and clearer communication is the collection of terms in the form of specialized glossaries and dictionaries. The elaboration of the dictionary is not an easy task. It requires a precise and detailed plan of individual activities and the cooperation of experts and specialists in the field of linguistics and a subject field in question. The aim of the study is to describe the individual phases of the elaboration of a multilingual specialized dictionary of hippology and to present in more detail the pitfalls of its creation.

Results from instrumented gait analysis vary between test situations. Subject characteristics and the biomechanical model can influence the total amount of variability. The purpose of this study was to quantify reliability of gait data in general, and with respect to the applied model, and investigated population group. Reliability was compared between a functional and a predictive gait model in subjects with knee osteoarthritis and healthy controls. Day-to-day consistency for sagittal plane variables was comparable between models and population groups. Transversal plane variables relative to joint excursion showed larger inconsistency for repeated measures, even for a more sophisticated biomechanical approach. In conclusion, the presented reliability data of sagittal plane kinematics should be used for a reasonable interpretation of results derived in clinical gait analysis. Variables of the transversal plane should not be used as long as sources of error are not sufficiently minimized.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Investment treaty arbitration is currently undergoing a backlash, precipitated in large measure by the problem of inconsistency in investment awards. Inconsistent reasoning and decisions have proved particularly problematic when different shareholders of an affected company pursue claims for reflective loss before different tribunals concerning the same dispute. This article examines two recent investment treaty cases—CC/Devas v India and Deutsche Telekom v India—that are a critical example of this very real problem. The first part of this article assesses the inconsistent interpretation and application of essential security interest clauses in those cases. As this article shows, the disagreement between the tribunals is explained by contradictory assessments of the same facts. The second part critically evaluates the impact of the two cases on the development of the precise criteria for successfully invoking an essential security interest clause. Such clauses comprise two elements: (i) the existence of such an interest; and (ii) the nexus between the interest and the measure adopted. These elements have hitherto been subject to inconsistent interpretations, leaving the exact contours of such clauses unclear. This article uncovers which security interests can qualify as ‘essential’ interests, focusing particularly on the question whether such an interest encompasses protection of strategic resources for military and non-military use. It also examines the meaning of the nexus requirement of ‘necessary’, and explores the difference(s) between the nexus requirements of ‘directed to’ and ‘necessary’.

Full textAbstract:
This article sketches out a picture of philosophy that indicates the relevance of exploring not only what we think but especially how we think. From the perspective of analytic philosophy – as an approach to philosophical problems – the way we think and talk should be given more attention in secondary school to resolve ambiguity, inconsistency and incoherency in our understanding in any subject. Attention should be paid to (1) the application of philosophical competencies and (2) philosophy as a cross-curricular activity. Analytical activities, not as being the only viable philosophical activities but as being major and reputable activities in philosophy, contribute distinctively and substantially to the development of students’ reflective and critical thinking which is a necessary condition for doing philosophy. Consequently, issues of meaning and justification take priority over “big philosophical questions” and they should be discussed in any (school) subject.

This study aims to understand better student errors in solving mathematics word problems. A Word problem is a problem that has a story or arrangement based on sentences. The qualitative research approach was used. The data were collected by giving tests and interviewing two male high achievers senior high school students in mathematics. The student error analysis adopted the Newman error analysis system. The source triangulation was used to ensure the data validity. Based on the collecting data and data analysis, the decoding/reading error happened caused by students' common understanding or unfamiliarity of the mathematical terms used in the problem. The subjects showed inconsistency in interpreting problem sentences and misused mathematical symbols. Furthermore, the subject encountered difficulties with the arithmetic process, especially fractions and their operation. This research identified students' difficulties in solving problem mathematics word problems. Moreover, this research provides evidence that encourages further research on mathematical literacy, mathematical communication skills, students' arithmetic skills, and the evaluation process of the problem-solving activity.

<p>Emily Dickinson as a religious poet was obsessed with the subject of death and immortality; about third of her poems feature this enigma which baffles not only the ordinary multitudes but also those great thinking minds throughout the human history. But up to now, it remains by and large a matter of belief, and people’s belief is subject to vacillation, especially so when this elusive subject is concerned. Emily Dickinson is no exception. This article makes use of close reading as its analyzing method. By way of detailed examinations on the semantic ambiguity and uncertainty of particular words, the narrative incoherence revealed in the unusual change of tenses as well as the inconsistency in the image of Death, it reveals that Dickinson, like many other great thinking minds, held an ambivalent attitude towards death and immortality. As a matter of fact, what can be deduced from all her poems on this enigma is an obsessed spirit which was questioning, doubting while at the same time believing.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Statistical reasoning is the way people reason with statistical ideas and make sense of statistical information. Statistical reasoning plays a major role and is essential when individuals are faced with daily phenomena such as educational achievement. Variability is a fundamental component of statistical reasoning. This study aimed to investigate the process of statistical reasoning observed from the students' narration based on the task of variability. The statistical reasoning process used in this study is in analyzing and interpreting the data. There are three indicators used in statistical reasoning, namely students’ narrative in comparing variability, making conclusions, and making decisions based on the ogive graph. There were 108 students involved in this study in Mathematics Education; 49 were selected as research subjects. The subject was chosen because they had carried out a statistical reasoning process using narrative with "make sense" without doing mathematical calculations in completing the task. Two of the 49 students were selected to be interviewed. This study used two instruments, namely a written task and a semi-structured interview guide. The data were analyzed using qualitative methods with an exploratory, descriptive design. This study indicates that two forms of narrative emerge when students undertake a process of statistical reasoning, namely a consistent narrative and inconsistent narrative. The consistent narrative occurs when students can provide the same endorsed narrative about variability in each statistical reasoning process. Meanwhile, the inconsistent narrative occurs when students provide an endorsed narrative, which is the opposite of comparing the variability in the two data groups with the endorsed narrative in making decisions. Narrative inconsistency results in the wrong decision making in choosing one of the two groups of data. A consistent Narrative plays an essential role in making the right decision. The ability to use statistical concepts is needed to produce a consistent narrative.

Since antiquity, the issue of the inconsistency between the Book of Nahum and the Book of Jonah has been addressed, one regarding both its content and its message. At various times, it was settled in different ways. The current state of biblical research seems to allow us to put forth a daring thesis that both Books have more in common than merely Nineveh as the subject matter, which they approach from a different angle. There seem to be grounds to see these two Books as vestiges of an intracanonical debate waged within the Book of the Twelve.

Full textAbstract:
Although undesired under a theoretical viewpoint, natural languages often show cases of “true” optionality. According to a reformulation of the Interface Hypothesis (Sorace 2006), highly complex constructions are more susceptible to optionality and change. Psych verbs that select a subject dative experiencer fall under this definition. Ibero-Romance languages use different strategies to reduce this morphosyntactic inconsistency. Whereas Catalan and Spanish reinforce the deviant construction through additional morphological markers (dative clitic doubling and subsequent grammaticalization of the clitic as subject-verb agreement marker), Portuguese avoids inherent datives at all, using structural case instead. These innovations in argument structure have significant consequences: clitic doubling with full DPs and the grammaticalization of the clitic pronouns are blocked, in contrast to Catalan and Spanish. It becomes evident that a closer look at how argument structure is codified in the lexicon is needed in order to better understand processes of language change.

Objective: To compile, review, and comment upon the application of psychotherapy to the treatment of psychiatric disorders first appearing in childhood and adolescence. Method: Representative research papers published over the past 4 decades on the subject of psychotherapy of children and adolescents were compiled. Selection for inclusion in this review was based upon salience to the subject of treatment of child psychiatric disorders. Special consideration was given to large-scale and metaanalytic studies, as well as to studies comparing psychotherapy with other forms of treatment. Results: There is mixed evidence for the efficacy of psychotherapy for child psychiatric disorders. There are few direct comparisons between treatment modalities in the child psychiatric literature. Methodological problems include a history of theoretical development of therapies without reference to current conceptions of mental illness, a paucity of direct comparisons among psychotherapies and between psychotherapy and other psychiatric treatments, inconsistent definition of psychotherapy from study to study, and inconsistency in stated outcome measures. In general, cognitive–behavioural therapies performed better in application to child psychiatric disorders than did insight-oriented therapies. Conclusions: Outcome research in child-oriented psychotherapy is still in its infancy. There are simply too few studies of many therapies and many conditions to draw firm conclusions about efficacy. More work is needed in matching discrete, consistently applied therapies to selected psychiatric pathologies. Questions regarding psychotherapy's potential application to prevention of mental illness and to management of distress surrounding mental illness (as distinct from treatment of the illness itself) remain to be answered.

The research field is the problem of extracting from the initial empirical material the formal concept lattice, which can serve as the basis of the formal ontology of the studied subject domain. The initial empirical material, i.e. the data of multidimensional observations and experiments, is characterized by incompleteness and inconsistency, conditioned by realities of empirical information accumulation. This leads to the fact that required for lattice building formal context can be previously presented only within the framework of some multivalued logic. It needs to be approximated in binary logic, since effective methods for derivation of formal concepts are developed only for unambiguous (binary) formal contexts. The exact solution of this problem, considering the properties existence constraints of objects in the studied subject domain, is difficult and in a certain sense is inadequate to expectations of subject exploring the subject domain. For defuzzification of the initial formal context heuristic was proposed, idea of which is to localize the approximation task of "soft" context within every group of dependent properties of each object of learning sample. The model reflecting such restrictions is formed as hierarchy of groups of dependent properties, which predetermines the recursive and multi-pass nature of the developed defuzzification algorithm.

An examination of the understanding of sustainable tourism among Russian tourism managers (RTM) offers insights into methods for designing acceptable sustainable tourism development strategies. Documentary analysis of tourism legislation revealed inconsistency in policies at both local and federal levels while five semi-structured interviews with RTMs revealed low levels of awareness of key aspects of sustainable tourism concepts. Delphi consensus search disclosed RTMs’ associations of sustainable tourism such as nature travel, green tourism, ecological and outdoor, sports and friendly tourism. Achieving a comprehensive understanding of sustainable tourism by RTMs requires raising their awareness on the subject through training and facilitation in the elaboration of sustainable tourism strategies.

Abstract We study simple inflation-forecast targeting in an open-economy setting. Simple inflation-forecast targeting implies setting an interest rate which, if kept unchanged throughout the forecast-targeting horizon, produces a conditional inflation forecast equal to the inflation target at the end of the horizon.We find that the optimal forecast-targeting horizon is relatively short (one year). A longer horizon does not consistently contribute to improved output stability, indeed it increases exchange rate variability and traded sector variability. The targeting procedure is substantially inferior to the optimal pre-commitment policy. Moreover, the targeting procedure does not necessarily determine the rational-expectations equilibrium and is subject to time inconsistency.
