Abstract:

There is disagreement in the literature about the exact nature of the phenomenon of empathy. There are emotional, cognitive, and conditioning views, applying in varying degrees across species. An adequate description of the ultimate and proximate mechanism can integrate these views. Proximately, the perception of an object's state activates the subject's corresponding representations, which in turn activate somatic and autonomic responses. This mechanism supports basic behaviors (e.g., alarm, social facilitation, vicariousness of emotions, mother-infant responsiveness, and the modeling of competitors and predators) that are crucial for the reproductive success of animals living in groups. The Perception-Action Model (PAM), together with an understanding of how representations change with experience, can explain the major empirical effects in the literature (similarity, familiarity, past experience, explicit teaching, and salience). It can also predict a variety of empathy disorders. The interaction between the PAM and prefrontal functioning can also explain different levels of empathy across species and age groups. This view can advance our evolutionary understanding of empathy beyond inclusive fitness and reciprocal altruism and can explain different levels of empathy across individuals, species, stages of development, and situations.

We advance a neglected QUA solution to the fundamental problem of Christology. Our chief aim is to put the view on the theological table, leaving future debate to tell its ultimate fate. After presenting the view we measure it against standard problems that confront extant QUA views and also against objections peculiar to the proposed view.

Abstract:

Exposure to cold temperatures is, often, a neglected problem in ICUs, CT, AND MRI scans it may cause several discomforts such as shivering, lung diseases, and artifacts in scan reports, etc., one of the leading influences of the overall sensation of cold discomfort is the cooling of the back. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a heated ambulance mattress- prototype on body temperatures and thermal comfort in an experimental study. The endotherm patient warming mattress and ambulatory patient mattress are the preexisting projects. The Inditherm mattress is designed for use by all patients undergoing anesthesia who may be at risk of inadvertent pre-operative hypothermia, and for any patients who require warming in pre-operative, intra-operative, and postoperative settings the ambulatory mattress is generally a warming mattress. The main disadvantage is that these two technologies are not automated the operator has to set all parameters. In this project, we are designing a mattress that liberates heat depending on room temperature. The Lab VIEW controls on and off of the system it compares the room temperature with the present value and produces a suitable result. The main advantage is the project is fully automated and warms the patient only at the required time.

Abstract:

In the contemporary philosophy of existence which coinciding with the thought of the loss of God widely disseminated in the philosophies like that of atheism, materialism and naturalistic humanism have put a modern man into a situation of the dilemma of his existence. Some philosophers have repeatedly disavowed their association with existentialism insisting that their philosophy is primarily concerned with “being” rather than with existence. Terminologies, related to existentialist themes, as coined by like contingency, insecurity, self-extrangement and dereliction of human existence leads to ultimate meaning to temporality, historicity and authenticity has provoked to think about the thought of freedom towards death, the interrelation of ‘being’ and ‘existence’, ‘being’ and ‘truth’, ‘being’ and ‘nothing’, ‘being’ and ‘transcendence’ which ultimately might gave the thinkers the thought of ‘being’, in reality.

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to explore theoretically and empirically the relation between Religious Judgement and Religious World View. “Religious Judgement” (RJ) refers to a person's relationship with an Ultimate (God for religious believers), as stimulated by and expressed in significant contingent situations (in the Aristotelian sense). In a structure-genetic view, this relationship develops from a stage where the Ultimate is perceived as all-powerful to a stage where the Ultimate is recognised by way of liberating interindividual actions. The “Religious World View” (WV) is concerned with the concept and the role of the Creator in originating and evolving the universe. WV stages develop from perceiving an artificialistic Maker of everything to a Higher Being with a more reduced yet more intrinsic role.

Abstract:

Ultimism is the view that there is a metaphysically and axiologically ultimate reality in relation to which it is possible to achieve the ultimate good. John Schellenberg believes that ultimism is the backbone of every religion, while the differences between religions arise from different views of what the nature of the ultimate is. Schellenberg tries to show that if there is progress in religion, then it is most reasonable to assume that we are only at the beginning of the inquiry into the ultimate. The aim of the paper is to show that epistemological and methodological objections can be raised against ultimism. It will present an epistemological argument, pointing to the cognitive limitations of imagination, and a methodological argument, questioning the feasibility of Schellenberg’s project.

Abstract:

We present a new approach for matching urban object instances across multiple ground-level images for the ultimate goal of city-scale mapping of objects with high positioning accuracy. What makes this task challenging is the strong change in view-point, different lighting conditions, high similarity of neighboring objects, and variability in scale. We propose to turn object instance matching into a learning task, where image-appearance and geometric relationships between views fruitfully interact. Our approach constructs a Siamese convolutional neural network that learns to match two views of the same object given many candidate image cut-outs. In addition to image features, we propose utilizing location information about the camera and the object to support image evidence via soft geometric constraints. Our method is compared to existing patch matching methods to prove its edge over state-of-the-art. This takes us one step closer to the ultimate goal of city-wide object mapping from street-level imagery to benefit city administration.

Full text

Abstract:

AbstractThe paper examines the connection between Aristotle's theory of generated substance and his notion of potentiality in Metaphysics Θ.7. Aristotle insists that the matter of a substance is not what that substance is, against a competing view that was widely held both in his day and now. He coined the term thaten (εκεíνινOν) in order to make this point. The term highlights a systematic correspondence between the metaphysics of matter and of quality: the relationship between a thing and its matter is like the relationship between a quali fied thing and the relevant quality. It is argued that Aristotle's view about the matter of particular substances is connected with his view about ultimate matter. His conception of the matter of particular substances allows him to block an argument, from Plato's Timaeus, that ultimate matter must be something imperceptible and lacking all perceptible qualities. Aristotle uses the term thaten to introduce an alternative conception of ultimate matter on which ultimate matter might well be an ordinary perceptible kind of thing.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract:Although “fairness” and “social responsibilities” form part of the business ethics agenda of Japanese corporations, the meaning of these terms must be understood in the context of the distinctive Japanese approach to ethics. In Japan, ethics is inextricably bound up with religious dimension (two normative environments) and social dimension (framework of concentric circles). The normative environments, influenced by Confucianism, Buddhism, and other traditional and modern Japanese religions, emphasize that not only individuals but also groups have their own spirit (numen) which is connected to the ultimate reality. The framework of concentric circles lets moral agents apply different ethical rules to the respective circles. The dynamics of these religious and social dimensions lead to a different view of both individuals and corporations from that dominant in the West.

Abstract:

This essay examines the different fates of philosophy in Bloor’s and Rorty’s post-epistemological inquiries, tracing their sharp disagreement to their distinct conceptions of ‘naturalism’ and ‘language.’ To this end, the first section outlines their main reasons for overcoming the epistemologically-centered philosophy, as well as theirreassessments of key concepts such as objectivity. The second section draws a comparison between their proposed post-epistemological inquiries, i.e., Bloor’s empirically-informed ‘sociologism’ and Rorty’s pragmatist ‘conversationalism,’ emphasizing that while the former implies the ‘end’ of philosophy in a scientific culture, the latter proposes a ‘new role’ for philosophy in a conversational culture. The third section shows how, in contrast to Bloor’s dismissive attitude toward philosophy and the potential of intervocabulary discourse, which can chiefly be attributed to his scientific naturalism and his Wittgensteinian rule-governed view of language, Rorty’s conception of philosophy as a cross-cultural, conversational practice is enabled and sustained by his non-scientific naturalism coupled with his Davidsonian communicative view of language. Finally, as opposed to Rorty’s attempt to completely dismantle the ‘epistemology industry,’ the fourth section briefly explores the extent to which Bloor’s ‘theory’-oriented viewpoint is still affected by it.

Abstract:

We often hear about the online battles between social media users on contradictory beliefs, advocation, events feedback and petty viral arguments. They show their solidarity through the use of hashtags (#), that allow them to spread news quickly and keepit up dated. This article explores the concept of a social tagging or commonly known as hashtags in social media platforms, which supports, knowledge exchange, research, and networking opportunities for the social media community. Creating content is one of the virtues in social media platforms to advocate awareness among its users and followers. Past researchers of the study are discussed exponentially to provide a holistic view. Challenges faced by the social media users and social media platform providers are also mentioned in this paper.

Abstract:

The adaptive view of human memory assumes that animates (e.g, rabbit) are remembered better than inanimates (e.g. glass) because animates are ultimately more important for fitness than inanimates. Previous studies provided evidence for this view by showing that animates were recalled or recognized better than inanimates, but they did not assess memory for contextual details (e.g., where animates vs inanimates occurred). In this study, we tested recollection of spatial information (Study 1) and temporal information (Study 2) associated with animate versus inanimate words. The findings showed that the two types of contextual information were remembered better when they were related to animates than to inanimates. These findings provide further evidence for an ultimate explanation of animacy effects.

Abstract:

Epidemiology can be considered as a responsible public health science the aim of which is to control health problems. One of the most important public health problems is "war". The aim of the present paper, therefore, is threefold: firstly, to determine to what extent war has been investigated from an epidemiological point of view; secondly, what the definition and scope of "war epidemiology" would be; and thirdly, if it would be possible to introduce a new branch of epidemiology entitled "peace epidemiology". In the present study, I have tried to fulfill the aims of the study based on my experiences in war and peace epidemiology and also by reviewing the most relevant websites, documents and papers. Evidence suggests that enough epidemiological studies have not been carried out to determine the sheer public health consequences of war. "War epidemiology" can be defined as "the study of the distribution and determinants of war-related events in specified populations, and the application of this study to the control of war". "Peace epidemiology" is a new branch of epidemiology which "highlights how peace could positively shape our world". Epidemiologists need to produce more scientific evidence about the negative public health consequences of wars and also the positive public health consequences of peace. The ultimate aim of "war epidemiology" is to control war, usually by secondary and tertiary prevention activities. However, the ultimate aim of "peace epidemiology" is to reinforce peace by primary and/or primordial prevention activities.

The scholarship on the economics of individual sports is scant relative to that of team sports. This study advances sport management scholarship, particularly sport economics, by using consumer-theory modeling to estimate Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) pay-per-view purchases. Our generalized linear models show fan preferences for certain weight classes, star fighters, outcome uncertainty and comain event quality factors as well as scheduling preferences for holiday weekends. The popular notion thatThe Ultimate Fighterreality series served as the impetus for the UFC’s growth is supported in part. The study concludes by showing how the modeling results impact firm revenue generation via fight card characteristics.

Abstract:

Once it was generally supposed that people were afraid of psychiatrists. The fear of insanity, that ultimate loss of control, made people joke about psychiatrists as they joked about other fearsome things such as death and sex. Now it seems there are fewer jokes but much more open suspicion and hostility and there is much to suggest that over the years psychiatrists have become afraid of people. We have been so preoccupied with the clinical and heuristic aspects of our profession that we have not recognized the emergence of damaging paranoid forces, let alone made any adequate or appropriate response to them. This failure has created formidable problems for the mentally ill and their families and has been a significant factor in promoting one of the vicious backward swings in the pendular history of psychiatry.

Abstract:

Acquired dyslexia offers a unique window on to the nature of the cognitive and neural architecture supporting skilled reading. This paper provides an integrative overview of recent empirical and computational work on acquired dyslexia within the context of the primary systems framework as implemented in connectionist neuropsychological models. This view proposes that damage to general visual, phonological or semantic processing abilities are the root causes of different forms of acquired dyslexia. Recent case-series behavioural evidence concerning pure alexia, phonological dyslexia and surface dyslexia that supports this perspective is presented. Lesion simulations of these findings within connectionist models of reading demonstrate the viability of this approach. The commitment of such models to learnt representations allows them to capture key aspects of performance in each type of acquired dyslexia, particularly the associated non-reading deficits, the role of relearning and the influence of individual differences in the premorbid state of the reading system. Identification of these factors not only advances our understanding of acquired dyslexia and the mechanisms of normal reading but they are also relevant to the complex interactions underpinning developmental reading disorders.

Full text

Abstract:

Multi-view clustering (MVC) is a mainstream task that aims to divide objects into meaningful groups from different perspectives. The quality of data representation is the key issue in MVC. A comprehensive meaningful data representation should be with the discriminant characteristics in a single view and the correlation of multiple views. Considering this, a novel framework called Dynamic Guided Metric Representation Learning for Multi-View Clustering (DGMRL-MVC) is proposed in this paper, which can cluster multi-view data in a learned latent discriminated embedding space. Specifically, in the framework, the data representation can be enhanced by multi-steps. Firstly, the class separability is enforced with Fisher Discriminant Analysis (FDA) within each single view, while the consistence among different views is enhanced based on Hilbert-Schmidt independence criteria (HSIC). Then, the 1st enhanced representation is obtained. In the second step, a dynamic routing mechanism is introduced, in which the location or direction information is added to fulfil the expression. After that, a generalized canonical correlation analysis (GCCA) model is used to get the final ultimate common discriminated representation. The learned fusion representation can substantially improve multi-view clustering performance. Experiments validated the effectiveness of the proposed method for clustering tasks.

AbstractÈṣù of the Yorùbá tradition, the custodian of the primordial àṣẹ, embodies the principle of perspicacity and pragmatism that is crucial for the exercise of responsibility by sentient and thinking beings. As such, Èṣù demands the ultimate in consciousness as a basis for just living and for a just measure of reward or sanction. Èṣù calls for painstaking commitment to rigorously distilled information and keen consciousness as preconditions for action of any sort, especially for the exercise of judgement, a compelling gesture of the human will. Scholarly and/or zealous traditions have, however, persistently alienated Èṣù from his native Yorùbá cosmology. This article argues for a need for rehabilitation.

However, Chinul’s Buddhist thought is weak in dealing with the aspect of redemption.

Abstract:

The social brain hypothesis is a well-accepted and well-supported evolutionary theory of enlarged brain size in the non-human primates. Nevertheless, it tends to emphasize an anthropocentric view of social life and cognition. This often leads to confusion between ultimate and proximate mechanisms, and an over-reliance on a Cartesian, narratively structured view of the mind and social life, which in turn lead to views of social complexity that are congenial to our views of ourselves, rather than necessarily representative of primate social worlds. In this paper, we argue for greater attention to embodied and distributed theories of cognition, which get us away from current fixations on ‘theory of mind’ and other high-level anthropocentric constructions, and allow for the generation of testable hypotheses that combine neurobiology, psychology and behaviour in a mutually reinforcing manner.

Abstract:

This paper examines one of the central objections levied against neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics: the self-absorption objection. Proponents of this objection state that the main problem with neo-Aristotelian accounts of moral motivation is that they prescribe that our ultimate reason for acting virtuously is that doing so is for the sake of and/or is constitutive of our own eudaimonia. In this paper, I provide an overview of the various attempts made by neo-Aristotelian virtue ethicists to address the self-absorption objection and argue that they all fall short for one reason or another. I contend that the way forward for neo-Aristotelian virtue ethicists is to reject the view that the virtuous agent ought to organize her life in a way that is ultimately good for her, and instead adopt a more expansive conception of her ultimate end, one in which no special preference is given to her own good.

Abstract:

A new failure mechanism is proposed for calculating the ultimate inclined load adjacent to the slope, i.e., the slope is in the limit state when the critical slope contour and the slope surface are at the critical position where two intersections will occur. The conventional view is that the critical slope contour calculated by the method of characteristics has only a concave shape. This study found that the critical slope contour changes from concave to convex when the inclined load imposed on the slope top surface increases. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified by the finite element limit analysis (FELA) and the definition of the ultimate load. The parametric analysis showed that the current method of characteristics (CMOC) overestimated the ultimate inclined load and gave an incorrect conclusion since it assumed larger failure models at a low strength ratio or large friction angle. The proposed method does not require assumption or search of the failure models, and it can solve the shortcomings of CMOC.

Abstract:

This article reconsiders the concept of physical reality in quantum theory and the concept of quantum measurement, following Bohr, whose analysis of quantum measurement led him to his concept of a (quantum) “phenomenon,” referring to “the observations obtained under the specified circumstances,” in the interaction between quantum objects and measuring instruments. This situation makes the terms “observation” and “measurement,” as conventionally understood, inapplicable. These terms are remnants of classical physics or still earlier history, from which classical physics inherited it. As defined here, a quantum measurement does not measure any preexisting property of the ultimate constitution of the reality responsible for quantum phenomena. An act of measurement establishes a quantum phenomenon by an interaction between the instrument and the quantum object or in the present view the ultimate constitution of the reality responsible for quantum phenomena and, at the time of measurement, also quantum objects. In the view advanced in this article, in contrast to that of Bohr, quantum objects, such as electrons or photons, are assumed to exist only at the time of measurement and not independently, a view that redefines the concept of quantum object as well. This redefinition becomes especially important in high-energy quantum regimes and quantum field theory and allows this article to define a new concept of quantum field. The article also considers, now following Bohr, the quantum measurement as the entanglement between quantum objects and measurement instruments. The argument of the article is grounded in the concept “reality without realism” (RWR), as underlying quantum measurement thus understood, and the view, the RWR view, of quantum theory defined by this concept. The RWR view places a stratum of physical reality thus designated, here the reality ultimately responsible for quantum phenomena, beyond representation or knowledge, or even conception, and defines the corresponding set of interpretations quantum mechanics or quantum field theory, such as the one assumed in this article, in which, again, not only quantum phenomena but also quantum objects are (idealizations) defined by measurement. As such, the article also offers a broadly conceived response to J. Bell’s argument “against ‘measurement’”.

Abstract:

Deep Multi-view Subspace Clustering is a powerful unsupervised learning technique for clustering multi-view data, which has achieved significant attention during recent decades. However, most current multi-view clustering methods rely on learning self-expressive layers to obtain the ultimate clustering results, where the size of the self-expressive matrix increases quadratically with the number of input data points, making it difficult to handle large-scale datasets. Moreover, since multiple views are rich in information, both consistency and specificity of the input images need to be considered. To solve these problems, we propose a novel deep multi-view clustering approach based on the reconstructed self-expressive matrix (DCRSM). We use a reconstruction module to approximate self-expressive coefficients using only a small number of training samples, while the conventional self-expressive model must train the network with entire datasets. We also use shared layers and specific layers to integrate consistent and specific information of features to fuse information between views. The proposed DCRSM is extensively evaluated on multiple datasets, including Fashion-MNIST, COIL-20, COIL-100, and YTF. The experimental results demonstrate its superiority over several existing multi-view clustering methods, achieving an improvement between 1.94% and 4.2% in accuracy and a maximum improvement of 4.5% in NMI across different datasets. Our DCRSM also yields competitive results even when trained by 50% samples of the whole datasets.

Abstract:

Because of high contents of pesticides and micro-organisms in IJssel Lake water N.V. PWN Water Supply Company North Holland (PWN) was compelled to implement multiple barriers against these contaminants at their surface water treatment plants at Heemskerk and Andijk. For degradation of pesticides advanced oxidation was pursued. After thorough studies O3/H2O2-treatment was rejected in view of bromate formation. Subsequently application of UV/H2O2-treatment was pursued. UV-photolysis shows a selective pesticide degradation. Conversion using an electric energy of 1 kWh/m3 varies from 18% for trichloroacetic acid to 70% for atrazine. UV/H2O2-treatment gives a much more aselective pesticide degradation. For a combination of an electric energy of 1 kWh/m3 and 15 g/m3 H2O2 most pesticides can be degraded by more than 80%. Formation of harmful by-products proved to be insignificant. In the range of 0.1-2.5 kWh/m3 electric energy and 0-25 g/m3 H2O2 bromate formation is absent, while metabolite formation is insignificant. AOC-formation is found up to 140 μg/l. Therefore AOC and residual H2O2 must be removed in a following treatment step. GAC-filtration showed very reliable results. Application of UV/H2O2-treatment for pesticide control with an electric energy of 1 kWh/m3 goes together with an average UV-dose of 2,000 mJ/cm2. This dose is about 50 times as high as applied in conventional UV-disinfection. As expected E. coli and (after spiking) spores of sulphite reducing Clostridia are inactivated completely. In addition orientating experiments have been carried out with an UV-dose of 100 mJ/cm2. Inactivation of MS-2 phages amounted to 2.7 log, Bacillus spores inactivation to 3.4 log, while Cryptosporidium inactivation was complete (>3 log). Additional data are gathered together with the University of Alberta. In view of the very promising results, application of UV/H2O2-treatment will be pursued for full scale application at both the Heemskerk plant for organic contaminant control and the Andijk plant for both organic contaminant control and disinfection.

Abstract:

In 2016, the Ultimate Fighting Championship was sold for a reported price of $4 billion, the highest price ever paid for a sports franchise. This was a remarkable turn-around for a promotion that 15 years earlier was saved from bankruptcy by a $2 million buyout. This turnaround was driven by the UFC’s ability to mainstream the promotion and the sport while establishing reliable revenue streams through television contracts and massive pay-per-view events. In this paper, the authors review the pay-per-view record of the UFC and analyze the extent to which it is driven by high profile celebrity fighters with broad crossover appeal. Using statistical analysis, the authors identify the top crossover celebrities and assess the economic value they generate for the UFC. They compare this to the impact generated from the promotion’s highest ranked pound-for-pound fighter and find that celebrity has far more economic value than fighting skill.

Abstract:

Abstract Fundamental approaches to ethics and morality in both China and the West are bound up not only with conceptions of religion and ultimate truth, but also with conceptions of nature. One dominant theme in the West is to see nature in terms of an original goodness that precedes human manipulation. This theme is bound up with Biblical views of divine creation by a divine lawmaker. In contrast to this view, Chinese conceptions of sincerity (cheng) and spontaneity (ziran) mitigate against such an abstract conception of the original goodness or authenticity of nature.

Abstract:

Pascal sees happiness (bonheur) as the ultimate goal of all human activity, but argues that experience shows it to be unattainable; our underlying condition is unhappiness. In the immediate, he argues, human activities are forms of diversion or distraction, by which we seek to screen from ourselves our unhappiness and mortality and to gratify our vanity. This analysis omits the role of pleasure, which he elsewhere identifies as the motive force of all volition. In order to reconcile this anomaly, we need to distinguish between the motive of our actions, the ultimate end they have in view, and the Supreme Good. The motive of our actions is pleasure, their ultimate end happiness, and the Supreme Good God, in union with whom authentic happiness consists.

Abstract:

“The Archimedean point for moral life” discussed in this article refers to the starting point of one’s moral reasoning and what ultimately makes moral life possible. The article intends to show that Mengzi’s doctrine of the Four Beginnings may throw some light on our search for such an Archimedean point. More specifically, it argues for the following: (1) Mengzi’s doctrine of the Four Beginnings actually takes moral sentiments as the Archimedean point for moral life; (2) Mengzi’s view of the starting point of moral reasoning and the ultimate ground for moral life not only can be empirically supported to a great extent, but also logically plausible.

Abstract:

Deep learning is an intrinsic learning style and representation through which knowledge acquired helps interpret data such as words, images and sounds. The ultimate aim is to enable computers to analyse and recognize data, such as words, images and sounds, in the same way as humans. In artificial intelligence, loss function is a very effective method. In the deep study, the loss function is used to determine the relationship between the target and the prediction. This paper analyzes and summarizes the loss functions in face recognition, object detection and face recognition, and focuses on some key loss functions.

Abstract:

Transhumanism is one of the main “ideologies of the future” that has emerged in recent decades. Its program for the enhancement of the human species during this century pursues the ultimate goal of immortality, through the creation of human brain emulations. Therefore, transhumanism offers its fol- lowers an explicit eschatology, a vision of the ultimate future of our civilization that in some cases coincides with the ultimate future of the universe, as in Frank Tipler’s Omega Point theory. The essay aims to analyze the points of comparison and opposition between transhumanist and Christian eschatologies, in particular considering the “incarnationist” view of Parousia. After an introduction concern- ing the problems posed by new scientific and cosmological theories to traditional Christian eschatology, causing the debate between “incarnationists” and “escha- tologists,” the article analyzes the transhumanist idea of mind-uploading through the possibility of making emulations of the human brain and perfect simulations of the reality we live in. In the last section the problems raised by these theories are analyzed from the point of Christian theology, in particular the proposal of a transhuman species through the emulation of the body and mind of human beings. The possibility of a transhumanist eschatology in line with the incarnationist view of Parousia is refused.
