RÉSUMÉMichael Tye soutient que certains noms sont vagues parce qu'ils réfèrent à des objets vagues. Tye, cependant, ne distingue pas entre référer à un objet vague et référer vaguement. Je suggère, à partir de certaines suppositions, que les noms vagues doivent référer vaguement. Et si les noms vagues doivent référer vaguement, alors l'argument de Tye échoue, puisque des noms qui réfèrent à des objets vagues n'ont pas besoin de référer vaguement. Néanmoins, l'indétermination dans la méta-sémantique de la relation d'être porteur d'un nom peut créer des noms qui réfèrent vaguement. Cette conclusion ne dépend pas de la supposition que les noms ont un contenu descriptif, ni de l'idée que les énoncés d'identitè peuvent être indéterminés quant à leur valeur de vérité.

Full textAbstract:
Modeling vague objects with indeterminate boundaries has drawn much attention in geographic information science. Because fields and objects are two perspectives in modeling geographic phenomena, this paper investigates the characteristics of vague regions from the perspective of the field/object dichotomy. Based on the assumption that a vague object can be viewed as the conceptualization of a field, we defined five categories of vague objects: direct field-cutting objects, focal operation-based field-cutting objects, element-clustering objects, object-referenced objects, and dynamic boundary objects. We then established a categorization system to formalize the semantic differences between vague objects using the fuzzy set theory. The proposed framework provides valuable input for the conceptualization, interpretation, and modeling of vague geographical objects.

Full textAbstract:
Not long ago came into common use, the relation of supervenience is rapidly gaining in popularity. At the same time, its logical nature, in particular its possible correlations with such fundamental logical relation as entailment, remains unresolved and needs clarification. In this paper, I compare these two relations and outline a new approach to formal explication of supervenience. In so doing, I employ as main sources two conceptions: of intensional semantics, and impossible object descriptions as its core part, introduced in section 3, and of relevant consequence relation, briefly described in section 4, where I also delineate a new entailment interpretation of supevenience. Thus, quite naturally we arrive at contradictory and incomplete descriptions of objects, and that way, uncertainty comes into play. Equally, it allows to propose a tentative definition of supervenience without referring to the terminology of the possible worlds semantics.

Peter Unger's puzzle, the problem of the many, is an argument for the conclusion that we are grossly mistaken about what kinds of objects are in our immediate surroundings. But it is not clear what we should make of Unger's argument. There is an epistemic view which says that the argument shows that we don't know which objects are the referents of singular terms in our language. There is a linguistic view which says that Unger's puzzle shows that ordinary singular terms and count nouns are vague. Finally, there is an ontological view which says that the puzzle shows that there are vague objects. The epistemic view offers the simplest solution to the problem of the many, but runs foul of a different problem, the problem of vague reference. The problem of vague reference is that given the presuppositions of the epistemic view there are too many too similar objects that might be the reference of a name such as 'Kilimanjaro' for it to be plausible that the name has a determinate reference. The linguistic view, spelled out in terms of semantic indecision and supervaluation, offers the same solution to the problem of the many and to the problem of vague reference. But it leaves no room for de re beliefs about ordinary material object. The ontological view offers a solution to the problem of the many that avoids the problem of vague reference and the problem of de re beliefs. For these reasons it is preferable to the other two.
(cont.) However, ontological vagueness has met strong objections. It has been argued that it is a fallacy of verbalism, that it is inconsistent and that once formulated in a consistent way it is not distinguishable from the linguistic view. These objections can be met, but not without cost. To avoid the charge of being inconsistent, friends of the ontological view have to give up the law of excluded middle. A positive account of vague parthood has two parts. First, parthood is not primitive but dependent on other primitive facts. The most important of the primitive facts are facts about to what kinds objects belong and how objects are causally related. Second, sometimes the primitive facts fail do determine of two objects whether one is part of the other. Given a notion of vague parthood, a notion of vague object can be defined roughly in the following way: An object 0 is vague iff there is an object a such that it is indeterminate whether a is part of 0.

Full textAbstract:
Vagueness in the language of the law leads to indeterminacies in some (not in all) of the requirements of the law. This thesis supports that 'indeterminacy claim', and explores its consequences for understanding law and adjudication. I elaborate the indeterminacy claim with a categorical claim that vagueness is ineliminable from law, and with a more tentative claim that indeterminacies in the application of vague language are not trivial or marginal. The indeterminacy claim is defended against legal theorists who argue that the law has other resources, besides the words that lawmakers use, which make it possible for judges to decide all cases consistently and according to law. Philosophers of language and of logic have sought a theory of the application of vague words that would solve the 'sorites paradox'. Such a solution might contradict the indeterminacy claim, either by showing that there are no cases in which the application of vague language is indeterminate, or by providing a model of reasoning with vague language that supports the 'other resources' arguments of legal theorists. I suggest reasons for resisting the urge to seek a solution, the chief being 'higher-order vagueness' and incommensurabilities in the application of many vague expressions. I propose a 'similarity model' of vagueness, in which a vague expression is viewed as applying to objects sufficiently similar to paradigms. The 'sufficiently' element in this model corresponds to a connection between the application of vague words and evaluative judgments. The 'paradigms' element is examined by assessing the role of paradigms in the theories of Herbert Hart and Ronald Dworkin. On the basis of the indeterminacy claim, the thesis argues that courts frequently cannot decide cases by giving effect to the requirements of the law, and that they cannot always decide like cases alike. A concluding chapter addresses implications for the ideal of the rule of law. It might seem that the rule of law is necessarily unattainable, to the extent that the requirements of the law are indeterminate. I propose an understanding of the ideal that rejects that conclusion, and that identifies the resolution of unresolved disputes as an important, independent duty of judges.

Full textAbstract:
À quelles conditions deux objets singuliers sont-ils identiques, ou distincts au contraire ? Cette thèse choisit de ne pas aborder cette question de front, en proposant immédiatement des critères – des conditions nécessaires et suffisantes – d’identité pour certains types d’objets (les personnes, les artefacts, les objets inanimés…). Elle commence bien plutôt par prendre du recul, en demandant ce que sont de tels objets ordinaires, quelle est leur ontologie, et quelle est par conséquent la nature d’une relation d’identité entre eux. La conclusion de cette enquête, menée dans une perspective néo-carnapienne, est déflationniste : les relations d’identité numérique entre objets ordinaires ne sont pas déjà présentes dans le monde, comme des faits substantiels que nous n’aurions plus qu’à découvrir. Après avoir élaboré cette théorie de l’identité dans une première partie, cette thèse la met ensuite au travail, pour résoudre dans une deuxième partie les principaux paradoxes de l’identité dont la littérature regorge : problèmes liés au vague, aux modalités, à la coïncidence, problèmes enfin d’identité personnelleUnder what conditions are two singular objects identical or distinct? This thesis chooses not to tackle this question upfront, by directly putting forward criteria – that is, necessary and sufficient conditions – of identity for certain kinds of objects (such as persons, artefacts, inanimate objects…). It rather begins by stepping backwards, in order to tell a story about ordinary objects, about their ontology, and consequently about the nature of the relation of numerical identity between two such objects. The upshot of this enquiry, led under the guidance of a neo-Carnapian meta-philosophy, is deflationary: numerical identity relations between ordinary objects are not already there in the world, like substantial facts waiting to be discovered. After elaborating such a theory of identity in the first part, this thesis then uses it to solve most of the well-known problems of identity, in the second part: those related to vagueness, essentialism and modality, spatio-temporal coincidence, and eventually personal identity

"Qualitative topological relationships for objects with possibly vague shapes: implications on the specification of topological integrity constraints in transactional spatial databases and in spatial data warehouses." Phd thesis, Université Blaise Pascal - Clermont-Ferrand II, 2009. http://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00725614.
Full textAbstract:
Dans les bases de données spatiales actuellement mises en oeuvre, les phénomènes naturels sont généralement représentés par des géométries ayant des frontières bien délimitées. Une telle description de la réalité ignore le vague qui caractérise la forme de certains objets spatiaux (zones d'inondation, lacs, peuplements forestiers, etc.). La qualité des données enregistrées est donc dégradée du fait de ce décalage entre la réalitée et sa description. Cette thèse s'attaque à ce problème en proposant une nouvelle approche pour représenter des objets spatiaux ayant des formes vagues et caractériser leurs relations topologiques. Le modèle proposé, appelé QMM model (acronyme de Qualitative Min-Max model), utilise les notions d'extensions minimale et maximale pour représenter la partie incertaine d'un objet. Un ensemble d'adverbes permet d'exprimer la forme vague d'un objet (ex : a region with a partially broad boundary), ainsi que l'incertitude des relations topologiques entre deux objets (ex : weakly Contains, fairly Contains, etc.). Cette approche est moins fine que d'autres approches concurrentes (modélisation par sous-ensembles flous ou modélisation probabiliste). Mais elle nécessite un processus d'acquisition complexe des données. De plus elle est relativement simple à mettre en oeuvre avec les systèmes existants de gestion de bases de données. Cette approche est ensuite utilisée pour contrôler la qualité des données dans les bases de données spatiales et les entrepôts de données spatiales en spécifiant les contraintes d'intégrité basé sur les concepts du modèle QMM. Une extension du langage de contraintes OCL (Object Constraint Language) a été étudiée pour spécifier des contraintes topologiques impliquant des objets ayant des formes vagues. Un logiciel existant (outil OCLtoSQL développé à l'Université de Dresden) a été étendu pour permettre la génération automatique du code SQL d'une contrainte lorsque la base de données est gérée par un système relationnel. Une expérimentation de cet outil a été réalisée avec une base de données utilisée pour la gestion des épandages agricoles. Pour cette application, l'approche et l'outil sont apparus très efficients. Cette thèse comprend aussi une étude de l'intégration de bases de données spatiales hétérogènes lorsque les objets sont représentés avec le modèle QMM. Des résultats nouveaux ont été produits et des exemples d'application ont été explicités.

Geographic information systems with the aid of spatial databases store and manage crisp spatial data (or exact spatial data), whose shapes (boundaries) are well defined and have a precise location in space. However, several spatial data do not have precisely known boundaries or have an uncertain location in space, which are called vague spatial data. The boundaries of a given vague spatial data may shrink or extend, therefore, may have a minimum and maximum extension. Clouds of pollution, deforestation, fire outbreaks, route of an airplane, habitats of plants and animals are examples of vague spatial data. In the literature, there are currently vague spatial data models, such as Egg-Yolk, QMM and VASA. However, according to our knowledge, they focus only on the formal aspect of the model definition. Thus, real or synthetic vague spatial data is not available for use. The main objective of this master thesis is the development of algorithms for the generation of synthetic vague spatial data based on the crisp models of spatial data vague Egg-Yolk, QMM and VASA. It was also implemented a tool, called VagueDataGeneration, to assist in the process of generation such data. For both the algorithms and the tool, the user is able to set the properties related to the data type of model, such as size, shape, volume, complexity, location and spatial distribution. By using the proposed algorithms and the VagueDataGeneration tool, researchers can generate large samples of vague spatial data, enabling new research, such as testing indexes for vague spatial data or evaluating query processing over data warehouses that store vague spatial data. The validation of the vague spatial data generation was conducted using a case study with data from vague rural phenomena.
Sistemas de informação geográfica com o auxílio de bancos de dados espaciais armazenam e gerenciam dados espaciais exatos, cujas formas (fronteiras) são bem definidas e que possuem uma localização exata no espaço. Entretanto, vários dados espaciais reais não possuem os seus limites precisamente conhecidos ou possuem uma localização incerta no espaço, os quais são denominados dados espaciais vagos. Os limites de um dado espacial vago podem encolher ou estender, portanto, podem ter uma extensão mínima e máxima. Nuvens de poluição, desmatamentos, focos de incêndios, rota de um avião, habitats de plantas e de animais são exemplos de dados espaciais vagos. Na literatura, atualmente existem modelos de dados espaciais vagos, tais como Egg-Yolk, QMM e VASA. No entanto, segundo o nosso conhecimento, estes enfocam apenas no aspecto formal da definição do modelo. Com isso, dados espaciais vagos reais ou sintéticos não estão disponíveis para uso. O principal objetivo deste trabalho de mestrado consiste no desenvolvimento de algoritmos para a geração de dados espaciais vagos sintéticos baseados nos modelos exatos de dados espaciais vagos Egg-Yolk, QMM e VASA. Também foi implementada uma ferramenta, chamada VagueDataGeneration, para auxiliar no processo de geração desses dados. Nos algoritmos propostos e na ferramenta desenvolvida, o usuário define as propriedades referentes ao tipo de dado de um modelo, tais como tamanho, formato, volume, complexidade, localização e distribuição espacial dos dados espaciais vagos a serem gerados. Por meio do uso dos algoritmos propostos e da ferramenta VagueDataGeneration, os pesquisadores podem gerar grandes amostras de dados espaciais vagos, possibilitando novas pesquisas, como exemplo, testar índices para dados espaciais vagos ou testar técnicas de processamento de consultas em Data Warehouses que armazenam dados espaciais vagos. A validação da geração de dados espaciais vagos foi efetuada usando um estudo de caso com dados de fenômenos rurais vagos.

Value generation in construction is about meeting client requirements. Problems in handling client requirements within fragmented practices in sequential design and contractual arrangements are widely recognized. Some authors suggest reconfiguring project coalitions around integrated teams to overcome this problem. Little is said, however, about the impact of adopting this new form of work in traditional design practice, processes and tools, and about possible socio-cognitive barriers that may hinder the collaborative work of design professionals, clients and users.The aim of the research is to improve the abiUty of integrated teams to maximize value generation.

Full textAbstract:
Dans un ordinateur multiprocesseur, lors de l'accès à la mémoire partagée, il faut synchroniser les entités de calcul (processus). Cela peut se faire à l'aide de verrous, mais des problèmes se posent (par exemple interblocages, mauvaise tolérance aux pannes). On s'est intéressé à l'implémentation d'abstractions (consensus et construction universelle) qui peuvent faciliter la programmation concurrente sans attente, sans utiliser de verrous mais basés sur des lectures/écritures atomiques (LEA). L'usage exclusive des LEA ne permet pas de réaliser un consensus sans attente. Néanmoins, autoriser l'usage de primitives offrant une puissance de synchronisation plus forte que des LEA, mais coûteuse en temps de calcul, le permet. Nous nous sommes donc intéressés dans cette thèse à des programmes qui limitent l'usage de ces primitives aux seules situations où les processus sont en concurrence, ces programmes sont dit solo-rapides. Une autre piste étudiée est de permettre à l'objet, lorsqu'il y a de la concurrence, de retourner une réponse spéciale "abandon" qui signifie l'abandon des calculs en cours. Ces objets sont dit abandonnables. D'une part, nous donnons des implémentations d'objets concurrents sans attente, abandonnables et/ou solo-rapides. Pour cela, nous proposons une construction universelle qui assure à l'objet implémenté d'être abandonnable et solo-rapide ; nous avons réalisés des algorithmes de consensus solo-rapides et des algorithmes de consensus abandonnable. D'autre part nous étudions la complexité en espace de ces implémentations en proposant des bornes inférieures sur l'implémentation des objets abandonnables et sur le consensusIn multiprocessor computer, synchronizations between processes are needed for the access to the shared memory. Usually this is done by using locks, but there are some issues as deadlocks or lack of fault-tolerance. We are interested in implementing abstractions (as consensus or universal construction) which ease the programming of wait-free concurrent objects, without using lock but based on atomic Read/Write operations (ARW). Only using the ARW does not permit to implement wait-free consensus. The use of primitives which offer a higher power of synchronization than the ARW is needed. But these primitives are more expensive in computing time. Therefore, we are interested in this thesis in the design of algorithms which restrict the use of these primitives only to the cases where processes are in contention. These algorithms are said solo-fast. Another direction is to allow the object to abort the computation in progress - and to return a special response "abort" - when there is contention. These objects are named abortable. On the one hand we give wait-free, abortable and/or solo-fast concurrent object implementations. Indeed we proposed a universal construction which ensure to the implemented object to be abortable and solo-fast. We have also realized solo-fast consensus algorithms and abortable consensus algorithms. On the other hand, we study the space complexity of these implementations : we prove space lower bound on the implementation of abortable object and consensus

Full textAbstract:
Arguing for a reconsideration of the object's function in court life, this thesis investigates how the value of an object is tied to the role it plays in symbolic activities, which formed the basis of court relations at the end of the fifteenth century. This study thus examines the courts of Italy (particularly Ferrara and Naples) through the myriad of objects—statues, paintings, jewellery, furniture, and heraldry—that were valued for their subject matter, material forms, histories, and social functions. Such objects are considered not only as components of court life, but also as agents which activated the symbolic practices that became integral to relations within and between courts. These activities—the exchange of diplomatic gifts, the consumption of precious objects, the displaying of collectibles, and the bestowing of knightly orders—were all ways that objects acted as points of contact between individuals, giving rise to new associations and new interests. The end of the fifteenth century was a pivotal moment in the courts of Italy, fraught with alliances and counter-alliances involving not only the courts on the Italian peninsula but also abroad. The court was an important space where individuals sought to assert and legitimise their power, and this was often done through material and visual means. The court is thus examined from diverse angles, taking the object as a starting point, and tracing relationships and networks through visual, textual, material, and literary sources. Shifting the focus away from artistic intentions and patronage, this study examines how objects constitute relations, often in unpredictable ways, not only forging connections but also revealing instabilities and latent hostilities. The constant circulation of precious objects in the late fifteenth century reveals a system of value which placed importance not only on ownership, but also on the replication, copying,En considérant la fonction de l'objet dans la vie à la cour princière, cette thèse examine comment la valeur d'un objet est liée au rôle qu'il joue dans les pratiques symboliques qui, à la fin du quinzième siècle, est à la base même des relations à la cour. Ce projet examine les cours d'Italie (en particulier celles de Ferrare et de Naples) à travers une multitude d'objet (statues, peintures, bijoux, meubles, et emblèmes héraldiques) qui étaient évalués pour leurs matériaux, leur forme, leur historique, et leurs fonctions sociales. Ces objets sont ici étudiés non seulement comme représentatifs de la vie à la cour, mais aussi comme des agents actifs des pratiques symboliques importantes aux relations entre les différents cours. Ces pratiques – l'échange de cadeaux diplomatiques, la consommation d'objets précieux, étalage d'objets de collection, et investitures dans des ordres chevaleresques – sont autant de manières par lesquelles les objets servent de point d'attache entre individus et génèrent, de la sorte, de nouvelles associations et de nouveaux intérêts.La fin du quinzième siècle était un moment clé pour les cours d'Italie, chargé des alliances et contre-alliances entre non seulement les cours de la péninsule italienne mais aussi celles de l'étranger. La cour est alors un espace important où les individus cherchent à revendiquer et à légitimer leur pouvoir par des moyens matériels et visuels. En plaçant l'objet au centre de l'investigation, ce projet, plutôt que de se préoccuper des intentions artistiques ou mécénales, redirige l'attention sur la fonction certaine, mais combien variable, des objets dans la formation de relations sociales et démontre comment elle peut révéler l'existence de tensions et d'hostilités latentes. La circulation continue d'objets précieux met en relief un système de valeurs qui est à l'œuvre à la fin du quinzièm

Full textAbstract:
This book examines the desire for, and intoxication with, destruction as it appears in cultural objects and representation, arguing that all cultural and aesthetic value is fundamentally predicated on its own fragility, as well as the living transience of those who make and encounter it. Beginning with a philosophy of expenditure after Georges Bataille, each chapter maps different operations of destruction in media and culture. These operations are expressed and located in representations of human extinction and explosive architecture, in the body and in sexuality, and in media and digital archives, which constitute a further destabilisation of the notion of destruction in the dynamic between aspirational immortality and material volatility embedded in the archival systems of digital cultures.

Full textAbstract:
It is a well-known fact that organized crime has developed into an international network that, spanning from the simple ‘grave diggers’ up to powerful and wealthy white-collar professionals, makes use of money laundering, fraud and forgery. This criminal chain, ultimately, damages and dissipates our cultural identity and, in some cases, even fosters terrorism or civil unrest through the illicit trafficking of cultural property.The forms of ‘possession’ of Cultural Heritage are often blurred; depending on the national legislation of reference, the ownership and trade of historical and artistic assets of value may be legitimate or not. Criminals have always exploited these ambiguities and managed to place on the Art and Antiquities market items resulting from destruction or looting of museums, monuments and archaeological areas. Thus, over the years, even the most renowned museum institutions have - more or less consciously - hosted in their showcases cultural objects of illicit origin. Looting, thefts, illicit trade, and clandestine exports are phenomena that affect especially those countries rich in historical and artistic assets. That includes Italy, which has seen its cultural heritage plundered over the centuries ending up in public and private collections worldwide.This edited volume features ten papers authored by international experts and professionals actively involved in Cultural Heritage protection. Drawing from the experience of the Conference Stolen Heritage (Venice, December 2019), held in the framework of the NETCHER project, the book focuses on illicit trafficking in Cultural Property under a multidisciplinary perspective.The articles look at this serious issue and at connected crimes delving into a variety of fields. The essays especially expand on European legislation regulating import, export, trade and restitution of cultural objects; conflict antiquities and cultural heritage at risk in the Near and Middle East; looting activities and illicit excavations in Italy; the use of technologies to counter looting practices.The volume closes with two papers specifically dedicated to the thorny ethical issues arising from the publication of unprovenanced archaeological objects, and the relevance of accurate communication and openness about such topics.

Full textAbstract:
Representing the possible shapes of a cluster of objects by a variation domain, vague discrete modeling is a powerful method for describing non-nominal shapes. A vague discrete model (VDM) is vague in the sense that multiple objects are represented by one domain model, and that multiple shape instances can be generated based on certain instantiation rules. The vaguely defined particles contained in a VDM provide a discrete representation that supports multi-resolution manipulation of shapes. This paper presents the latest results related to deriving instance shapes from a given VDM. The problem here is that a VDM may contain multiple regions, which have to be instantiated individually and the generated parts have to be unified in order to get an instance of a complex shape. First the paper gives a concise overview of vague discrete modeling. It introduces the concept as well as the process of rule-based instantiation of shapes from a VDM. It proposes simple, compound and constrained instantiation techniques for treating the various cases. To map the application field-dependent instantiation rules to explicit mathematical terms, the concept of effect function is applied. The discontinuous set of particle clouds received after instantiation are geometrically connected by fuzzy transition functions. The first experiences show that the vague discrete modeling extended with rule-based instantiation has a great potential to support intuitive shape conceptualization, especially in collaborative virtual design environments.

Full textAbstract:
Harman & Koohang (2005) stated that a learning object “ .. is not merely a chunk of information packaged to be used in instructional settings. A learning object, therefore, can include anything that has pedagogical value - digital or non-digital such as a case study, a film, a simulation, an audio, a video, an animation, a graphic image, a map, a book, or a discussion board so long as the object can be contextualized by individual learners. The learner must be able to make meaningful connections between the learning object and his/her experiences or knowledge he/she previously mastered. “ The above definition asserts that a learning object must have “pedagogical value” and that a learning object is 1) anything digital or non-digital such as a film, a simulation, or a case study, and 2) the ability of the learner to contextualize the object, i.e., the learner is capable of making “meaningful connections” between the object and his/her previous experiences and/or knowledge. Once the contextualization occurs, the object will have “pedagogical value” and it no longer merely an object, it is a learning object. Can all objects be contextualized? Is it necessary for all objects to be contextualized? What shall one call an “object” that is retrieved (and may even have some value other than pedagogical value and/or use) from an open access or commercial learning objects repository labeled as a “learning object” with no pedagogical value? If these objects are not learning objects, but have some sort of value and use, how shall one refer to these objects? Perhaps “informing objects”?

Full textAbstract:
Learning objects have long promised dramatic savings of time and money in course and curricula development, but they have failed to deliver the return on investment that seems a natural extension of their existence - reusability. Because a single hour of online instruction can take up to 300 hours to develop (Kapp 2003), reusability is the core value message offered by learning object promoters, from the earliest days to the present. Yet, after 12 years of successive evolution, learning objects are still primarily a collection of stand-alone modules that rarely interconnect outside of strictly controlled regimes, such as those imposed by corporate and military training guidelines. Among the contributing factors to this impediment are definition of learning object, size of a learning object and aesthetics of a learning object. In response to this shortcoming, we propose to introduce a new entity - the learning pod. Engineered for reusability, the learning pod incorporates several modules that bring current technology to create an experientially seamless interconnection between disparate learning objects. These modules communicate with one another to build a consistent unit of instruction that uses several learning objects depending on the requirements. Several technologies including semantic web, XSL/XML and CSS are utilized to achieve presentation cohesiveness.

Full textAbstract:
If a robotic agent wants to exploit symbolic planning techniques to achieve some goal, it must be able to properly ground an abstract planning domain in the environment in which it operates. However, if the environment is initially unknown by the agent, the agent needs to explore it and discover the salient aspects of the environment necessary to reach its goals. Namely, the agent has to discover: (i) the objects present in the environment, (ii) the properties of these objects and their relations, and finally (iii) how abstract actions can be successfully executed. The paper proposes a framework that aims to accomplish the aforementioned perspective for an agent that perceives the environment partially and subjectively, through real value sensors (e.g., GPS, and on-board camera) and can operate in the environment through low level actuators (e.g., move forward of 20 cm). We evaluate the proposed architecture in photo-realistic simulated environments, where the sensors are RGB-D on-board camera, GPS and compass, and low level actions include movements, grasping/releasing objects, and manipulating objects. The agent is placed in an unknown environment and asked to find objects of a certain type, place an object on top of another, close or open an object of a certain type. We compare our approach with a state of the art method on object goal navigation based on reinforcement learning, showing better performances.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In order to efficiently design a flowing or artificial lifted well and to choose the most economical producing equipment, one has to analyze its components in conjunction with the entire system. These kinds of analyses are customarily called Nodal System Analyses. The development of computer programs for Nodal System Analysis is a complicated and time-consuming task mainly due to the complexity of the system. A recently emerging programming technique, Object-Oriented Programming or OOP can provide programmers an excellent means for solving such difficult problems. The aim of this paper is to show the use of OOP programming techniques in the development of a computer program for Nodal System Analysis. A discussion of Nodal Analysis methodology is given first. Then the fundamentals of Object Oriented Programming are shown with a detailed description of its basic terms: object, method, inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism, etc. Application of OOP techniques is demonstrated through the development of a computer program for a simplified producing system of a flowing well. This case includes the following hydraulic components: reservoir, tubing string, flowline, separator. In the computer program, these elements are represented by individual objects with their own variables and subroutines. Since the different hydraulic components of the producing system have a lot of common parameters, the objects representing them have this feature as well. The main objects can be made up of smaller objects containing the common parameters resulting in a hierarchy of objects. In the paper, considerations are given on the most suitable hierarchy of objects along with details of their structure. The practical value of any computer program heavily relies on an efficient input and output structure. According to the latest trends, the program developed here uses menu-based input and graphical output sections. The program developed in this paper was written in Turbo Pascal 6.0, its menu system was created using Turbo Vision, the object-oriented application framework for Turbo Pascal 6.0.

Full textAbstract:
Currently, to evaluate the dynamic characteristics of objects, quite a large number of devices are used in the form of chronographs, which consist of various optical, thermal and laser sensors. Among the problems of these devices, the following can be distinguished: the lack of recording of the received data; the inaccessibility of taking into account the trajectory of the object flying in the sensor area, as well as taking into consideration the trajectory of the object during the approach to the device frame. The signal received from the infrared sensors is recorded in a separate document in txt format, in the form of a table. When you turn to the document, data is read from the current position of the input data stream in the specified list by an argument in accordance with the given condition. As a result of reading the data, it forms an array that includes N number of columns. The array is constructed in a such way that the first column includes time values, and columns 2...N- the value of voltage . The algorithm uses cycles that perform the function of deleting array rows where there is a fact of exceeding the threshold value in more than two columns, as well as rows where the threshold level was not exceeded. The modified array is converted into two new arrays, each of which includes data from different sensor frames. An array with the coordinates of the centers of the sensor operation zones was created to apply the Pythagorean theorem in three-dimensional space, which is necessary for calculating the exact distance between the zones. The time is determined by the difference in the response of the first and second sensor frames. Knowing the path and time, we are able to calculate the exact speed of the object. For visualization, the oscillograms of each sensor channel were displayed, and a chronograph model was created. The chronograph model highlights in purple the area where the threshold has been exceeded.

Full textAbstract:
An analysis of the experience of professional training bachelors of electromechanics in Ukraine and abroad made it possible to determine that one of the leading trends in its modernization is the synergistic integration of various engineering branches (mechanical, electrical, electronic engineering and automation) in mechatronics for the purpose of design, manufacture, operation and maintenance electromechanical equipment. Teaching mechatronics provides for the meaningful integration of various disciplines of professional and practical training bachelors of electromechanics based on the concept of modeling and technological integration of various organizational forms and teaching methods based on the concept of mobility. Within this approach, the leading learning tools of bachelors of electromechanics are mobile Internet devices (MID) – a multimedia mobile devices that provide wireless access to information and communication Internet services for collecting, organizing, storing, processing, transmitting, presenting all kinds of messages and data. The authors reveals the main possibilities of using MID in learning to ensure equal access to education, personalized learning, instant feedback and evaluating learning outcomes, mobile learning, productive use of time spent in classrooms, creating mobile learning communities, support situated learning, development of continuous seamless learning, ensuring the gap between formal and informal learning, minimize educational disruption in conflict and disaster areas, assist learners with disabilities, improve the quality of the communication and the management of institution, and maximize the cost-efficiency. Bachelor of electromechanics competency in modeling of technical objects is a personal and vocational ability, which includes a system of knowledge, skills, experience in learning and research activities on modeling mechatronic systems and a positive value attitude towards it; bachelor of electromechanics should be ready and able to use methods and software/hardware modeling tools for processes analyzes, systems synthesis, evaluating their reliability and effectiveness for solving practical problems in professional field. The competency structure of the bachelor of electromechanics in the modeling of technical objects is reflected in three groups of competencies: general scientific, general professional and specialized professional. The implementation of the technique of using MID in learning bachelors of electromechanics in modeling of technical objects is the appropriate methodic of using, the component of which is partial methods for using MID in the formation of the general scientific component of the bachelor of electromechanics competency in modeling of technical objects, are disclosed by example academic disciplines “Higher mathematics”, “Computers and programming”, “Engineering mechanics”, “Electrical machines”. The leading tools of formation of the general scientific component of bachelor in electromechanics competency in modeling of technical objects are augmented reality mobile tools (to visualize the objects’ structure and modeling results), mobile computer mathematical systems (universal tools used at all stages of modeling learning), cloud based spreadsheets (as modeling tools) and text editors (to make the program description of model), mobile computer-aided design systems (to create and view the physical properties of models of technical objects) and mobile communication tools (to organize a joint activity in modeling).

Full textAbstract:
The article considers the model of the space-frequency-time continuum, according to which the physical essence of Time is manifested as a fraction of electromagnetic energy spent on updating a material object in a cyclic process of copying-incarnation. For all structural levels of physical reality, the value of this fraction is a fundamental constant, which can be represented as the tangent of the loss angle, or expressed in radians, as the angle of inclination of the evolutionary spiral, which characterizes the rate of change of states or the duration of events and processes. The value of this constant can be calculated, and its value turns out to be identically equals to the square of the fine structure Constant (α2). The description of the method for identifying a new constant allows us to present the formula of Scientific Discovery as the Physical Essence of Time.

Full textAbstract:
Functional relationships between objects, called 'attributes', are of considerable importance in knowledge representation languages, including Description Logics (DLs). A study of the literature indicates that papers have made, often implicity, different assumptions about the nature of attributes: whether they are always required to have a value, or whether they can be partial functions. The work presented here is the first explicit study of this difference for (sub-)classes of the CLASSIC DL, involving the same-as concept constructor. It is shown that although determining subsumption between concept descriptions has the same complexity (though requiring different algorithms), the story is different in the case of determining the least common subsumer (lcs). For attributes interpreted as partial functions, the lcs exists and can be computed relatively easily; even in this case our results correct and extend three previous papers about the lcs of DLs. In the case where attributes must have a value, the lcs may not exist, and even if it exists it may be of exponential size. Interestingly, it is possible to decide in polynomial time if the lcs exists.

In order for the learning process to always retain personal value for the learner, it is necessary that his or her motivation be maintained through an awareness of his or her purpose and goals. This article presents a local model (at the individual object level) of enhancing external motivation, which give to determine students’ efforts to get rewards. The concept of this model based on describing the behavior of agents (in our case students). The characteristics of the phenomenon in the motivation of learning at different stages of adolescent development are analyzed. The problem of computer modeling of educational processes with the help of agent modeling on the example of studying student motivation is considered. Internal and external factors that may strengthen or weaken the adolescent’s motivation to study have been studied. The expediency of using information technologies of agent modeling to study the dynamics of strengthening or weakening student motivation is substantiated. Using the AnyLogic Cloud computing environment the change of dynamics of strengthening of motivation of teenagers on an example of model of strengthening of external motivation is defined.

Full textAbstract:
This paper considers the problem of using mobile Internet devices in the process of biology studying in secondary schools. It has been examined how well the scientific problem is developed in pedagogical theory and educational practice. The methodology of using mobile Internet devices in the process of biology studying in a basic school, which involves the use of the Play Market server applications, Smart technologies and a website, has been created. After the analyses of the Play Market server content, there have been found several free of charge applications, which can be used while studying biology in a basic school. Among them are the following: Anatomy 4D, Animal 4D+, Augmented Reality Dinosaurs – my ARgalaxy, BioInc – Biomedical Plague, Plan+Net. Their choice is caused by the specifics of the object of biological cognition (life in all its manifestations) and the concept of bio(eco)centrism, which recognizes the life of any living system as the highest value. The paper suggests the original approach for homework checking, which involves besides computer control of students’ learning outcomes, the use of Miracast wireless technology. This demands the owning of a smartphone, a multimedia projector, and a Google Chromecast type adapter. The methodology of conducting a mobile front-line survey at the lesson on the learned or current material in biology in the test form, with the help of the free Plickers application, has been presented. The expediency of using the website builder Ucoz.ua for creation of a training website in biology has been substantiated. The methodology of organizing the educational process in biology in a basic school using the training website has been developed. Recommendations for using a biology training website have been summarized. According to the results of the forming experiment, the effectiveness of the proposed methodology of using mobile Internet devices in the process of biology studying in a basic school has been substantiated.

One of the well-known results of the theory of management is the fact, that multi-stage hierarchical organization of management is unstable. Hence, the ideas expressed in a number of works by Don Tapscott on advantages of network organization of businesses over vertically integrated ones is clear. While studying the basic tendencies of business organization in the conditions of globalization, computerization and internetization of the society and the results of the financial activities of the well-known companies, the authors arrive at the conclusion, that such companies, as IBM, Boeing, Mercedes-Benz and some others companies have not been engaged in their traditional business for a long time. Their partner networks performs this function instead of them. The companies themselves perform the function of system integrators. The Tapscott’s idea finds its confirmation within the framework of a new powerful direction of the development of the modern interdisciplinary science – the theory of the complex networks (CN) [2]. CN-s are multifractal objects, the loss of multifractality being the indicator of the system transition from more complex state into more simple state. We tested the multifractal properties of the data using the wavelet transform modulus maxima approach in order to analyze scaling properties of our company. Comparative analysis of the singularity spectrumf(®), namely, the difference between maximum and minimum values of ® (∆ = ®max ¡ ®min) shows that IBM company is considerably more fractal in comparison with Apple Computer. Really, for it the value of ∆ is equal to 0.3, while for the vertically integrated company Apple it only makes 0.06 – 5 times less. The comparison of other companies shows that this dependence is of general character. Taking into consideration the fact that network organization of business has become dominant in the last 5-10 years, we carried out research for the selected companies in the earliest possible period of time which was determined by the availability of data in the Internet, or by historically later beginning of stock trade of computer companies. A singularity spectrum of the first group of companies turned out to be considerably narrower, or shifted toward the smaller values of ® in the pre-network period. The latter means that dynamic series were antipersistant. That is, these companies‘ management was rigidly controlled while the impact of market mechanisms was minimized. In the second group of companies if even the situation did changed it did not change for the better. In addition, we discuss applications to the construction of portfolios of stock that have a stable ratio of risk to return.

Review question / Objective: The type of study was clinical randomized controlled trial (RCT). The object of study is the patients with HFMD. There is no limit to gender and race. In the case of clear diagnosis standard, curative effect judgment standard and consistent baseline treatment, the experimental group was treated with pure oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine(A: Fuganlin oral liquid, B: huangzhihua oral liquid, C: Lanqin oral liquid, D: antiviral oral liquid, E: Huangqin oral liquid, F: Pudilan oral liquid, G: Shuanghuanglian oral liquid.)and the control group was treated with ribavirin or any oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine. The data were extracted by two researchers independently, cross checked and reviewed according to the pre-determined tables. The data extraction content is (1) Basic information (including the first author, published journal and year, research topic). (2) Relevant information (including number of cases, total number of cases, gender, age, intervention measures, course of treatment of the experimental group and the control group in the literature). (3) Design type and quality evaluation information of the included literature. (4) Outcome measures (effective rate, healing time of oral ulcer, regression time of hand and foot rash, regression time of fever, adverse reactions.). The seven traditional Chinese medicine oral liquids are comparable in clinical practice, but their actual clinical efficacy is lack of evidence-based basis. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to use the network meta-analysis method to integrate the clinical relevant evidence of direct and indirect comparative relationship, to make quantitative comprehensive statistical analysis and sequencing of different oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine with the same evidence body for the treatment of the disease, and then to explore the advantages and disadvantages of the efficacy and safety of different oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine to get the best treatment plan, so as to provide reference value and evidence-based medicine evidence for clinical optimization of drug selection. Condition being studied: Hand foot mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infectious disease in pediatrics caused by a variety of enteroviruses. Its clinical manifestations are mainly characterized by persistent fever, hand foot rash, oral herpes, ulcers, etc. Because it is often found in preschool children, its immune system development is not perfect, so it is very vulnerable to infection by pathogens and epidemic diseases, resulting in rapid progress of the disease. A few patients will also have neurogenic pulmonary edema Meningitis, myocarditis and other serious complications even lead to death, so effectively improve the cure rate, shorten the course of disease, prevent the deterioration of the disease as the focus of the study. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has played an important role in the research of antiviral treatment. Many clinical practices have confirmed that oral liquid of traditional Chinese medicine can effectively play the role of antiviral and improve the body's immunity.
