Paradox in Thought and Natural Language

Author(s): Jerzak, Ethan | Advisor(s): MacFarlane, John; Yalcin, Seth | Abstract: Around 600BC, Epimenides, a Cretan apparently discontented with thehonesty of his compatriots, lamented that all Cretans are liars.Together with a few innocent assumptions, well-entrenched principlesof logic entail that Epimenides' lamentation cannot be true, and yetcannot be untrue---a flat contradiction. What's gone wrong? In thisdissertation, I argue that the source of the problem has beenmisdiagnosed as one about language (especially formal languages). Theproblem runs deeper, and stems from the structure of thought itself. The dissertation proceeds in two main stages. The first stage(Chapter 2) makes the case that that the intuitions that underlie theparadoxes come from natural languages, not from formal/mathematicalones. The Liar and related paradoxes are generally presented asconstraints on the latter. Their lesson, the story goes, is that noformal theory strong enough to represent the primitive recursivefunctions can include a satisfactory truth predicate. I argue thatit's our natural-language competence with the truth predicate thatunderlies our understanding of what 'satisfactory' means here, whichshifts the focus of the project to natural language semantics. In thisdomain, it's tempting to think (and many have thought) that theproblem with Epimenides' utterance is that it fails to express aproposition, and this failure explains why we have trouble assigningit a truth-value. Or, perhaps it does express a proposition, but notthe one that it seems to express. Or, perhaps it can express aproposition, but which proposition it expresses depends on context. Iargue that all such responses fail, in part because they cannot makesense of related attitude attributions. I can believe or disbelieveEpimenides, which wouldn't be possible if his utterance didn't expressthe proposition it seems to express.In the second stage, I argue that such paradoxes arise, not from thelanguage/thought interface, but rather from thought itself. The firststep in this argument concerns knowledge attributions (Chapter 3),where I develop and defend a novel solution to the Knower paradox.Then I move from attitude attributions to attitudes themselves(Chapter 4). Just as sentential truth and knowledge predicates givesrise to paradoxical sentences, seemingly innocent combinations ofbeliefs and desires give rise to paradoxical propositions---even whenthose beliefs and desires are not expressed in language. Thepossibility of such pathological combinations isn't accounted for byany extant theory of mental content, and, I argue, provides supportfor a non-classical theory. Finally (Chapter 5) I consider anobjection to these putative combinations of desires. I introduce whatI call /advisory/ desire reports, which seem to exhibit the radicallyexternalist behavior that the previous chapter rejects. I conclude byoffering reasons to think that the availability of these readings doesnot undermine the case for non-classical accounts of attitudes.
Assessment of the Creative Writing Elective at the Philippine Science High School - Main Campus

The study is an assessment of the effectiveness of instruction in the Creative Writing elective at the Philippine Science High School - Main Campus primarily based on the quarterly periodic examination (which are based on novels) results of the CW students. Since numerous studies show that writing and reading are inherently related, and the CW students were given extra exposure to literature and the opportunity to examine and explore their own reading and writing processes, it could be assumed that students with a CW elective would perform relatively better in the quarterly periodic examinations than their non-CW peers (Batch 2019). The study compared the quarterly examination averages of the CW class of 15 students with the eight non-CW sections of about 26-29 students each, where the CW class ranked 5, 2, and 1 in the first three quarters of AY 2018-2019. A Likert scale survey was then administered to the CW students to identify the strengths and areas of improvement in the instruction, such as whether the CW elective helped them prepare for their periodic examinations. A Small Group Analysis was afterwards conducted to clarify and process the recurring responses in the questionnaire and to identify concerns that were not addressed in the survey. Finally, an interview with the instructor was conducted to address the CW students’ concerns and responses in the survey and SGA. A number of recommendations based on the analysis of the results were provided in the conclusion, including articulating the curriculum’s Content Standards, Performance Standards, and Target Learning Competencies; providing the students with activity rubrics; emphasizing the PSHSS Mission-Vision in the course; and incorporating the results of the survey and SGA into the instructional process, among others.
Smooth Motion Control of Mobile Robot in Human-robot Coexisting Environment

In order to operate service robots in a human-robot coexisting environment, smooth motion control that does not give discomfort to the human is important. In this paper, we propose a smooth motion control method that considers human’s behavior. The proposed motion control method is based on the DWA (Dynamic Window Approach) which is a widely used obstacle avoidance scheme using the optimization of several objective functions. Considering human’s behavior, an additional objective function for DWA is defined to realize the smooth motion control of the mobile robot.
Linux Security Basics

This chapter is not meant to be a complete guide to cloud security, but merely to point you in the right direction. Security is more of a process and way of thinking than it is a series of steps, so this chapter will focus on how you need to think to protect your servers’ integrity and your data’s integrity.

SecureQualitas: A Security Corpus of Real Java Applications

The preventive approach of software security is the basis of what is referred to as secure by design. The principle is to avoid vulnerabilities as soon as the system is designed. Several research work are aimed to this objective. Most of them rely on empirical studies which need a realistic corpus. This corpus holds applications with different vulnerabilities and others without any known vulnerability. To the best of our knowledge, such a security corpus does not exist.In this paper, we present a novel approach based on an automatic annotation process to build a security corpus for real Java applications. Our approach takes advantage of several existing code scanners in order to annotate the corpus. We applied our process of vulnerability annotation on a well-known corpus, namely Qualitas Corpus, from the software engineering research community. We provide the resulting security corpus, namely SecureQualitas, to the research community. The experiments we conducted demonstrate that our approach gives better results than the scanners taken alone.
Integrate Image Representation to Text Model on Sentence Level: a Semi-supervised Framework

Integrating visual features has been proved useful in language representation learning. Nevertheless, in most existing multi-modality models, alignment of visual and textual data is prerequisite. In this paper, we propose a novel semi-supervised visual integration framework for sentence level language representation. The uniqueness include: 1) the integration is conducted via a semi-supervised approach, which can bring image to textual NLU tasks by pre-training a visualization network, 2) visual representations are dynamically integrated in both training and predicting stages. To verify the efficacy of the proposed framework, we conduct the experiments on the SemEval 2018 Task 11 and reach new state-of-the-art on this reading comprehension task. Considering that the visual integration framework only requires image database, and no extra alignment is required for training and prediction, it provides an efficient and feasible method for multi-modality language learning.
Network functions and services

This chapter gives a detailed overview of critical part of the 5GS—the shift from nodes and logical entities toward network functions. With the advent of cloud technologies and the adoption of service-based interfaces, 3GPP evolved the manner in which its logical architecture was described to better reflect that the different parts of the network are now far more likely to be run as a piece of software running on a cloud platform than as hardware. 5GC supports a collections of services and network functions that are made available over a Service-based Architecture. This chapter provides a detailed and accessible description of these network functions and the architecture within which they operate.
ANTICIPATION GUIDE TO IMPROVE READING SKILL OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Reading is important for everybody, because ones can get new knowledge in this globalization era. The students can open up new world with reading and get new point with it. Reading is a basic life skill of students success in school and consequently through life. Without the ability to read effectively, the students can not improve their reading skill. Hence, the aims of the this research were to know whether Anticipation Guide  strategy can improve students reading skill and to describe the class condition when Anticipation Guide strategy was implemented in teaching learning process at the Eight grade of SMP N 4 Sukoharjo in Academic Year 2017/2018. This research was conducted at the Eight grade of SMP N 4 Sukoharjo. The method of the study was classroom action research which was conducted from August to December 2017. The data was collected through test and non-test. In collecting data was used multiple choices in pre test, post test 1, and post test 2. Besides that to collect  non-test was used observation, interview, and documentation. While, to analyze the data was used t-test. The results of the research showed that the implementation of Anticipation Guide   strategy was successful to improve students reading skill. The mean score increased from 50.62 in pre-test became 60.15 in post test 1  until 76.15 in post test 2.

Vaccinazioni obbligatorie e raccomandate tra scienza, diritto e sindacato costituzionale

Reflecting on mandatory or only recommended vaccinations in the perspective of constitutional law allows to highlight the problems of balancing the fundamental rights which are relevant in this regard (the right to health, the freedom of self-determination in therapeutic choices, the right to education, the duties and the rights of parental care). Secondly these issues raised by vaccination treatments allow to reflect on a whole series of further broader profiles, which involve the fundamental principles of the Italian form of state and government and the complex relationship between scientific achievements (and their evolution), law and constitutional judgment.
EFFICIENCY MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS OF LIFE SKILLS EDUCATION ACTIVITIES RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND PREVENTION OF CALAMITY DISASTER FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FOR ETHNIC MINORITY STUDENTS IN ETHNIC MINORITY BOARDING UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN THE NORTHWEST REGION IN THE CURRENT PERIOD

Education management of life skills to cope with climate change and calamity disaster prevention for the sustainable development of ethnic minority students at ethnic minorities boarding high schools in the Northwestern region is conducted mainly through integrating the content of life skills education in response to climate change and preventing natural disasters for ethnic minority students into teaching basic subjects, through extra-curricular educational activities, through Extracurricular activities, labor and collective activities. Education on life skills to respond to climate change and disaster prevention for the sustainable development of ethnic minority students in recent years has just stopped at the implementation of the documents of Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), Departments of Education and Training (DOET). Some ethnic minority boarding high schools have not been proactive in developing a plan to implement the task of educating life skills to cope with climate change and prevent natural disasters for the sustainable development of ethnic minorities students, not well directed education forces in schools and diverse forms of life skills education to respond to climate change and disaster prevention for the sustainable development of ethnic minorities students. Through the in-depth analysis of research results in the period of 2013-2019, the author of this paper has presented a system of effective management solutions for education of life skills to cope with climate change and avoid natural disasters for the sustainable development of ethnic minority students in ethnic minorities boarding high schools in the Northwest region in the current period.

Probabilistic Data Structures in Adversarial Environments.

Probabilistic data structures use space-efficient representations of data in order to (approximately) respond to queries about the data. Traditionally, these structures are accompanied by probabilistic bounds on query-response errors. These bounds implicitly assume benign attack models, in which the data and the queries are inputs are chosen non-adaptively, and independent of the randomness used to construct the representation. Yet probabilistic data structures are increasingly used in settings where these assumptions may be violated. This work provides a provable security treatment of probabilistic data structures in adversarial environments. We give a syntax that captures a wide variety of in-use structures, and our security notions support development of error bounds in the presence of powerful attacks. Concretely, we primarily focus on examining the widely used Bloom filter, but also consider counting (Bloom) filters and count-min sketch data structures. For the traditional version of these, our security findings are largely negative; however, we show that simple embellishments (e.g., using salts, or secret keys) yields structures that provide provable security, and with little overhead.
Examination of the Speciation of Trace Metals in Some Selected Areas of Jos, Nigeria

Analysis of total metal concentrations and speciation of Lead (Pb), Zinc (Zn), Chromium (Cr), Manganese (Mn), Copper (Cu), and Iron (Fe) were carried out on soil samples from West of Mines, Tudun Wada and Dadin Kowa in Jos, Plateau state. Results show that zinc has the highest concentration of total metals while lead was not detected at all. Speciation results show an average of 4.47% of total metals in the exchangeable fraction, 9.95% in the carbonate fraction with chromium and copper not detected, 28.47% in the Fe-Mn oxides fraction with manganese being predominant, 8.44% in the organic fraction and 46.86% in the residual. The general pattern was that the bulk of the trace’s metals studied were present in the non-mobile, slightly or non-reactive, poorly or non-available forms.
Possibilities of variable disciplines in the formation of General professional competence (MIC-5) in the training of bachelors of social work

Today’s system of higher education is focused on implementing the competency-based approach to train professionals who are able to solve urgent occupational tasks and ready for life-long learning. The article demonstrates the importance of consistency in teaching-learning bachelors of Social Work and the relation of the competency-based training to further professional activities. Training students of Social and Welfare Work programmes remains urgent in contemporary Russia. The bachelor’s programme is based on a number of competencies that nurture the skills necessary for future profession and help to resolve of occupational tasks. The authors justify the relevance of teaching-learning such courses as "Fundamentals of a social state and civil society" and "Social Risk Management", which are included in the optional part of the curriculum for bachelors of Social and Welfare Work and are aimed at building competencies and skills that are fundamental for successful specialized training. The potential of competency-based training is revealed through procedures of description, comparison, observation, and some examples of active and interactive educational technologies
한국어교육 교재의 문학작품 수록 양상 분석

This study examines aspects of the collections of literary works in Korean teaching materials for foreign learners. We collected and analyzed 130 textbooks of Korean language education issued by 14 universities in Seoul. Among these, 66 volumes of literary works were set apart and scrutinized.We classified the works in the textbooks into different genres. They were first divided into classical literature and modern literature, and then subdivided into genres (lyric, narrative, drama, and lecture). We found 12 classical poems, 6 classical novels, 39 old stories, 44 contemporary poems, 34 modern novels, 22 contemporary essays, and 11 works of other genres.Literary works in Korean teaching textbooks are sometimes used as reading material and sometimes as materials for introducing and organizing activities. The following characteristics of these works were confirmed through analysis. First, they are the mainstay of Korean language education. Second, literacy education is perceived to be suitable for advanced-level learners and readability of a text is determined by its length. Third, when considering the kind of literary works used, we found that the universities tend to use works that represent Korean culture or to base activities around Korean functions.This study provides basic data that can be used to review the appropriateness of genre classification and selection of literary works in Korean teaching materials.
Client/Server Based Online Environment for Manual Segmentation of Medical Images

Segmentation is a key step in analyzing and processing medical images. Due to the low fault tolerance in medical imaging, manual segmentation remains the de facto standard in this domain. Besides, efforts to automate the segmentation process often rely on large amounts of manually labeled data. While existing software supporting manual segmentation is rich in features and delivers accurate results, the necessary time to set it up and get comfortable using it can pose a hurdle for the collection of large datasets. This work introduces a client/server based online environment, referred to as Studierfenster (this http URL), that can be used to perform manual segmentations directly in a web browser. The aim of providing this functionality in the form of a web application is to ease the collection of ground truth segmentation datasets. Providing a tool that is quickly accessible and usable on a broad range of devices, offers the potential to accelerate this process. The manual segmentation workflow of Studierfenster consists of dragging and dropping the input file into the browser window and slice-by-slice outlining the object under consideration. The final segmentation can then be exported as a file storing its contours and as a binary segmentation mask. In order to evaluate the usability of Studierfenster, a user study was performed. The user study resulted in a mean of 6.3 out of 7.0 possible points given by users, when asked about their overall impression of the tool. The evaluation also provides insights into the results achievable with the tool in practice, by presenting two ground truth segmentations performed by physicians.
Designing Storage Box at Grand Mosque of Bandung Based on Visual Aspect

Grand Mosque of Bandung is a province mosque that located in Bandung, West Java. Since it has a status as province mosque, it provides with a lot of facilities such as deposit counter. Based on the existing product-analysis, site-observation, and interviewing the visitor, i found out there is several problems that need to be done-need for solution. As a product designer, i believe there is always a possibility to solve the problem in some creative way. Hope it could be the problem solver at Grand Mosque of Bandung.
