Ideja ekspresivne racionalnosti u filozofiji Roberta Brandoma / Idea of Expressive Rationality in the Philosophy of Robert Brandom

In this paper, we will consider Brandoms fundamental components of his understanding of interesting concept of expresive rationality. I think it’s necessary, in orded to gain logical distinction of this concept, to analise and postulate basic meanings and parts of Brandoms philosophy. In this paper, we will interpret and explain the fundamental tenets of Robert Brandom’s intriguing concept of expressive rationality. Brandom, in his research on linguistic practices and their implications, approaches the topic from the perspective of inferentialism, a specific approach to the theory of meaning. Inferentialism is based on determining the meaning of expressions through their correspondence with other expressions. Brandom’s philosophy can be described using various terms, including the philosophy of inferentialism, the philosophy of intentionality, and logical expressivism.
California Rangelands in Historical Perspective.

California's rangeland was the first of her natural resources to be put to beneficial use. Long before the discovery of gold brought this state to worldwide attention, before crops planted by the colonists began to yield dependable harvests, the forage of its rangelands was providing for subsistance needs and beginning to form the basis of a reliable economy. Livestock ranching was the first industry of California. It began on May 14, 1979—two hundred and twelve years ago—when the first Spanish colonists arrived in California (T.H. Hittell 1885). This small band of soldiersand missionar-
CROWD VOLUME ESTIMATION USING PHOTOGRAMMETRIC TECHNIQUES

caused by human crowds could occur in various venues and under different circumstances, the most common being sport events, festivals, and religious events. Starting as early as the nineteenth century, research efforts have been geared towards crowd behaviour monitoring strategies especially in the fields of emergency and safety management. Attempts have been made also as recent as the mid and late nineties of the last century to use computer graphics in crowd modeling and simulation. Although crowd simulation is widely applied in several fields, research related to the derivation of quantitative crowd information is quite limited and is mainly focused on crowd volume using image processing and computer vision techniques. There were some attempts in the last two decades of the twentieth century to employ real time close-range photogrammetry in pedestrian detection and counting. However, these methods are hardly being used in high-density crowd monitoring because of the extreme difficulty in individual detection and tracking under these conditions. This paper provides a conceptual framework for the utilization of close-range photogrammetry to estimate crowd volume using a low-cost digital camera. The framework starts by developing a three dimensional model of the site in question prior to its observation in the presence of a crowd. This model will be used later to geo-reference the collected images from a dynamic camera system. The 3D model together with the geo-referencing parameters of the collected imagery will be finally used to derive crowd volume parameters. Preliminary results of the developed system will be illustrated together with the plans for the implementation of the proposed framework.
A study of plant community diversity based on quantitative analysis model and prediction model

Plant community species diversity is the pivot that connects ecosystem multi functionality and environmental change. In order to explore the influence of community species number on drought adaptation, this paper uses logistic fitting and residual verification formed by grayscale accumulation to obtain the population dynamics change curve under ideal conditions, followed by selecting indicators such as soil moisture amount and plant growth rate, and establishing a prediction model based on the plant growth pattern of plant communities under different weather cycles and the interaction mechanism between different species, and The conclusions were drawn, which provided a theoretical basis of the subsequent research on the population size under drought conditions.
Long-Term Developmental Assessment of Children Recovered from Hypernatremia

Purpose: Imbalances in sodium result in acute neurologic symptoms such as seizures and impaired mental status. Studies investigating the long-term consequences of hypernatremia on cognitive, motor, and language development in children are limited. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term impact of hypernatremia on children’s cognitive, motor, and language development. Methodology:It was an observational study conducted from March 2016 to March 2017 in Dhaka Hospital of icddr,b. In this study,211 children with acute watery diarrhea accompanied with hypernatremia (serum sodium level 150 mmol/L) who had already been enrolled in a previous observational study were prospectively followed for one year.The objective was to investigate if there are any long term neurologic and developmental consequences of hypernatremia in those children. Physical, cognitive, motor, and language development as well as expressive or receptive expression of the children were assessed using a standard tool at the time of discharge (Baseline) and 12 months after discharge (End line). We also assessed IQ in a subgroup of children > 36 months (n=57) using the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence in parallel. Results: Among the 211 participants, developmental assessment on motor, cognitive, and language development test was done on 140 (66.3%) children. The mean age of the children at the time of discharge from the hospital (baseline) was 7.9±4.5 months. Compared to mild (serum Na 150 mmol/L to less than 160 mmol/L), and moderately (serum Na 160 mmol/L to 169 mmol/L) hypernatremia, children with severe hypernatremia (serum sodium >170mmol/L) significantly had lower mean scores on the motor, fine motor, and language development score at baseline after adjusting age and weight for the age z score. Although there was an improvement in motor, language, and socioemotional scores, significant improvement was only observed with cognitive function at the end line (p=0.002). In Mmultiple regression after adjusting for potential confounders such as levels of hypernatremia, parents’ education, age of the child, and WAZ, these factors were showed significantly associated with the cognitive function of children. There was no difference in mean IQ level performed at the end-line among the children with different level of hypernatremia (mild, moderate or severe). Conclusion: Children with hypernatremia had poor developmental scores in cognitive, motor, language, and socio-emotional domains at the time of recovery from hypernatremia. However, other than cognitive score, there was no significant improvement in motor or language development at 12 months in children recovering from hypernatremia. Further studies are therefore warranted to reveal any association of motor or language deficit with neurological deficit in those children beyond 12 months.

Analysis of Password Generation Types in Teenagers Focusing on the Students of Jeollanam-do

Password generation and password management are the most important factors in information security. Hence, this study measures the degree of inclusion of information that is identical or similar to personal information among the passwords generated by teenagers. It is reported that for each teenager there are approximately 3.3 passwords and the number of passwords that need to be managed by individuals is constantly increasing due to rapid expansion of the Internet of Things. The results of this study showed that, of the student generated passwords, 40% are similar to their IDs and 70% are consistent with their personal information. Out of these, 67.5% of the respondents stated that they did not periodically change their passwords. It also indicated that 87.5% of the passwords consist of both characters and numbers, which are a general characteristics of passwords generated by the people in Korea, and only 1.1% of the passwords include special characters. It was also found that 32.2% of the students experience hacking incidents, of which 53.7% of the incidents occur in games and 34.5% in portal sites; this implies that students become victims of hacking in cyber space that they use frequently. However, information security education in school does not provide detailed information on passwords, thus requiring urgent improvement.
Language Proficiency and Sonorant Devoicing in English Plosive-Sonorant Clusters

This article explores the timing of phonetic voicing in plosive-sonorant clusters in English. VOT was measured in two groups of Czech learners with different proficiency levels and a native English control group. The hypothesis was that cross-language differences in the implementation of the voicing contrast would be reflected in lower devoicing by the non-native speakers, modulated by proficiency. 24 participants read a text with plosive-sonorant clusters (such as in plan or troops). The study found that less proficient speakers exhibited smaller degrees of devoicing compared to more proficient speakers, who however did not differ from the native controls. In line with the absence of devoicing in Czech secondary-school textbooks, the results provide insight into the interplay between language proficiency and pronunciation details in L2 acquisition. The research was supported by the European Regional Development Fund-Project ‘Creativity and Adaptability as Conditions of the Success of Europe in an Interrelated World’ (No. CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/16_019/0000734). The study was created within the Charles University programme ‘Cooperatio’, scientific field Linguistics.
Palaeocommunities, diversity and sea-level change from middle Eocene shell beds of the Paris Basin

The middle Eocene interval at some Paris Basin localities was studied through high-resolution stratigraphy. Abundance data (499 species, 37 719 individuals) on the distribution of molluscs, collected at 12 shell beds of the middle Lutetian and lower Bartonian, formed the basis for a palaeoecological study. The middle Lutetian succession is subdivided into several elementary depositional sequences (EDS) interpreted as the product of relative sea-level change. Species-abundance distributions are better correlated with EDS than with geographical locality, suggesting that sea level played an important role in the distribution of palaeocommunities. Diversities were compared with analogous data from modern subtropical and warm-temperate intertidal and subtidal communities. We found that sea-level variation is responsible for a major change in the upper part of the middle Lutetian succession, leading from high- to low-diversity palaeocommunities. From base to top sampled palaeocommunities indicate a transition from high-energy and mesotrophic (EDS 2) to oligotrophic low-energy conditions of a sandy lower shoreface (EDS 4) to an upper shoreface (EDS 5 and lower Bartonian), the last with mangroves and a seagrass cover. Notwithstanding the Lutetian cooling, we found that subtropical conditions reached as far north as the Paris Basin. Our study suggests that climatic fluctuations might be obscured by facies control.
Toxoplasmosis as a cause of life‐threatening respiratory distress in a dog receiving immunosuppressive therapy

Disseminated toxoplasmosis is a potentially fatal complication in dogs receiving immunosuppressive therapy, particularly if multiple immunosuppressive drugs are used. Toxoplasmosis should be considered if signs of acute respiratory or hepatic disease develop, and diagnosis would rely on demonstration of organisms via cytology or PCR rather than a single time‐point serological assay.
« Édifier un mode de vie civilisé » dans une commune tày du nord du Vietnam : assimilations, adaptations et accommodements "Building a Civilized Way of Life" in a Tày Commune in Northern Vietnam : Assimilations, Adaptations and Arrangements

Cet article vise a comprendre certaines modalites du changement social actuel dans une commune tay de la province de Lao Cai a travers la tension entre les interventions de l’Etat sur les pratiques de sociabilite collectives et les reactions des populations locales face a ces interventions. L’auteur opere par ce biais une mise en perspective des faits empiriques avec les trois interpretations des rapports Etat-societe conceptualisees par Benedict Kerkvliet. L’etude se concentre sur la maniere dont les politiques nationales « d’edification d’un mode de vie civilise » sont mises en place par les autorites locales puis adoptees, assimilees et transformees par les populations. La premiere partie presente les principes, les objectifs et les logiques de ces politiques dans une perspective historique, en partant du point de vue national pour aboutir sur une echelle locale. La seconde partie detaille le contenu des reformes mises en œuvre dans la commune etudiee. La troisieme et derniere partie vise a illustrer par un cas de mariage la mise en œuvre de ces politiques, en axant la reflexion sur les reactions locales. Ce cas recoupe a d’autres permet d’identifier trois modalites de reception d’elements exterieurs : une resistance passive par contournement des regles officielles ; une combinaison des elements endogenes et exogenes; et une assimilation pragmatique. Cette etude montre en definitive que le changement social s’opere a travers une dialectique entre des interventions etatiques assimilatrices et des reinventions culturelles.
From Industrial Districts to Local Development

From Industrial Districts to Local Development introduces a set of papers representing the main contribution of the ‘Florence school’ to the recent literature on industrial districts. The authors illustrate that the revitalisation of the concept of industrial districts, returning to Alfred Marshall’s nineteenth-century writings, is rooted in an unconventional interpretation of the economic development of Tuscany after the Second World War.
Autochthonous faecal virome transplantation (FVT) reshapes the murine microbiome after antibiotic perturbation

Background It has become increasingly apparent that establishing and maintaining a complex and diverse gut microbiome is fundamental to human health. There are growing efforts to identify methods that can modulate and influence the microbiome, especially in individuals who due to disease or circumstance have experienced a disruption in their native microbiome. Faecal microbial transplantation (FMT) is one method that restores diversity to the microbiome of an individual by introducing microbes from a healthy donor. FMT introduces a complete microbiome into the recipient, including the bacteriome, archaeome, mycome and virome. In this study we investigated whether transplanting an autochthonous faecal virome consisting primarily of bacteriophages could impact a bacteriome disrupted by antibiotic treatment (Faecal Virome Transplantation; FVT). Results Following disruption of the bacteriome by penicillin and streptomycin, test mice (n=8) received a bacteria free, faecal transplant, while Control mice (n=8) received a heated and nuclease treated control. The bacteriomes (as determined via 16S rRNA sequencing) of mice that received an FVT, in which bacteriophages predominate, separated from those of the Control mice as determined by principle co-ordinate analysis (PCoA), and contained differentially abundant taxa that reshaped the bacteriome profile such that it more closely resembled that of the pre-treatment mice. Similarly, metagenomic sequencing of the virome confirmed that the bacteriophages present in the gut of treatment and Control mice differed over time in both abundance and diversity, with transplanted phages seen to colonise the FVT mice. Conclusions An autochthonous virome transplant impacts on the bacteriome and virome of mice following antibiotic treatment. The virome, consisting mainly of bacteriophages, reshapes the bacteriome such that it more closely resembles the pre-antibiotic state. To date, faecal transplants have largely focussed on transferring living microbes, but given that bacteriophage are inert biological entities incapable of colonising in the absence of a sensitive host they could form a viable alternative that may have fewer safety implications and that could be delivered as a robust formulation.
Automatic Construction of Sememe Knowledge Bases From Machine Readable Dictionaries

Sememes are the minimum semantic units of natural languages. Words annotated with sememes are organized into Sememe Knowledge Bases (SKBs). SKBs are successfully applied to various high-level language processing tasks as external knowledge bases. However, existing SKBs are manually or semi-manually constructed by linguistic experts over long periods, inhibiting their widespread utilization, updating, and expansion. To automatically construct an SKB from Machine-Readable Dictionaries (MRDs), which are readily available, we propose MRD2SKB as an automatic SKB generation approach. Well-established MRDs exist, and their construction is much simpler than SKBs. Therefore, the proposed MRD2SKB allows for fast, flexible, and extendable generation of SKBs. Building upon matrix factorization and topic modeling, we proposed several variants of MRD2SKB and constructed SKBs fully automatically. Both quantitative and qualitative results of extensive experiments are presented to demonstrate that the performances of the proposed automatically created SKBs are on par with manually and semi-manually prepared SKBs.
Lauream Pacis: Una cultura de paz a través del deporte = Lauream Pacis: Peace culture trough the sports

Abstrac: Today our society is constantly facing the need to adapt to a globalized world; ever changing life styles increase social differences; this circumstance leads to critical situations such as: extreme poverty, undernourishment, the need of a dignified life, shelter, clothing and labor; elements that become obstacles in building a culture of peace. Among the multiplicity of activities that contribute to peace; we will focus on highlighting the importance of sport as a bond of peace in which human beings find the ability to live and coexist peacefully. Considering including education for peace through sports, as it is a global medium that is not distinguished among cultures and which can be achieved with study, practice and internalization of values, lifestyles and education, would mean building a sense of enduring peace in our daily lives. En la actualidad nuestra sociedad se enfrenta constantemente a la necesidad de adaptacion en un mundo globalizado; los cambios de ritmos de vida y el crecimiento de las diferencias sociales, son circunstancias que han generado situaciones criticas como la pobreza extrema, desnutricion, necesidad de una vida digna, vivienda, vestido y trabajo, elementos que se convierten en obstaculos en la construccion de una cultura de paz. Dentro de la multiplicidad de actividades que contribuyen a la paz, nos centraremos en destacar la relevancia del deporte como vinculo de paz en el que los seres humanos encuentran esa capacidad de vivir y convivir pacificamente. Consideramos incluso la educacion para la paz a traves de los deportes, ya que son un medio global que no distingue entre culturas y que se puede lograr con el estudio, la practica y la interiorizacion de valores, estilos de vida y educacion, con lo cual estariamos construyendo una idea de paz perdurable en nuestra vida diaria.
3D urban building modeling based on high resolution satellite images

There are two main aspects in 3D city reconstruction: 3D geometric information collection and surface texture restoration. The new methods for reconstructing the 3D city with both the oblique and perpendicular photographic images are presented. The mathematical model for restoring IKONOS stereo images by rational polynomial coefficients (RPC) is analyzed and performed in VirtuoZo digital photogrammetric workstation. Using its rapid image matching technique, this paper realizes the generation of digital elevation model (DEM) and orthoimage and the ground feature collection either manually or semi-automatically.
Wide temperature range of an electrically tunable selective reflection of light by oblique helicoidal cholesteric

ABSTRACT Oblique helicoidal cholesteric liquid crystals (ChOH) offer an unprecedented opportunity to tune selective reflection of light in a broad spectral range from ultraviolet to infrared by an electric field. The major problem is that the temperature range of stable ChOH is typically above the room temperature and is relatively narrow, a few degrees. In this work, we demonstrate that by using a mixture of flexible dimeric and rod-like molecules, one can significantly expand the temperature range of intense Bragg reflection, from 16°C to 27°C. We demonstrate that the selective reflection peak, reflection intensity, bandwidth and threshold electric field are all temperature dependent and discuss the associated mechanisms. The results show that both the electric field and temperature can be used to tune the structural colour of oblique helicoidal cholesteric structures. The proposed material can be used in switchable optical devices based on liquid crystals, such as light modulators, indoor smart windows, and filters. Graphical abstract
