Multifaceted Nature of Human Perception and the Power of Language in Wallace Stevens
Authors: - Prof. Brajesh Sawhney
Published: November 2023

Wallace Stevens, a poet celebrated for his intricate and layered language, employs symbolism, metaphor, and allusion to invite readers into a multi-dimensional exploration of his work. Through poems like "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird," Stevens transforms ordinary subjects into symbols that evolve, offering diverse perspectives on existence, beauty, and life's mysteries. His mastery of wordplay and lexical dexterity creates poems rich in connotations and meanings, challenging the idea of a fixed interpretation and aligning with modernist literary movements. The interplay between language and perspective not only underscores the multiplicity of interpretation but also engages readers actively, encouraging intellectual curiosity and emotional resonance. Ultimately, his poetry showcases not only his artistic skill but also his belief in the boundless possibilities that language and perspective provide for comprehending the complexities of the world.

As a Hindi saying Roti,(food) kapada (Cloths) and Makan (residence) are the basic needs of human being, but still in 3rd decade of 21st century some peoples can’t achieve their basic rights. In this paper discussed especially about the unemployment issues of tribal community of Gujarat state. Statistics suggest that literacy rate constantly increasing in last some decade. But the reality is different. After increasing the education but the tribal community of Gujarat can’t get the fruits of benefit from this education system , thus education cant covert into employment. As per the data the massive unemployment rate is high in tribal community. As well as participation of schedule tribe (ST) in government and organized sector is low , compare to other backward communities. In absence of employment opportunities, the educated tribal youth are either forced to work as daily wagers in unorganised sectors or migrate for better options. And this is one of the major issues the community seems to be consider as a social economical problem of Tribal youth of Gujarat. Here researcher discussed about problem of unemployment in tribal community of Guajrat.

Published: November 2023

An experimental in vitro study was conducted at the Research Facilitation Centre of Sarada Krishna Homoepathic Medical College and Hospital to compare and analyse the antibacterial effect of different potencies of Kreosotum and Metrogyl against the gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus. Notably, Kreosotum 200C, a particular Homoeopathic medicine, displayed the most potent antimicrobial activity, generating a substantial 7mm inhibition zone. This remarkable efficacy against Gram-Positive bacteria positions it as a viable treatment option for various ailments, including but not limited to Bacteraemia, Infective Endocarditis, Suppurative Affections (CSOM), Surgical Infections, Septic Shock, Septic Arthritis, and Nosocomial Infections.Future investigations should also focus on evaluating the in-vivo activity against Gram-positive bacteria to provide a comprehensive understanding of the therapeutic potential of Homoeopathic treatments in clinical settings.
Investigating successful Government Digital Economic Framework Adoption in Indian MSMEs: The Interplay of Perceived Organisational E-Readiness and Intention to Adopt
Authors: - Abhay Jain , - Jugindar Singh
Published: November 2023

The digital economy is growing in India. At the same time, the digital shadow economy is also growing. Economists and intellectuals warn that the digital shadow economy threatens the global economy. If left unchecked, it could hinder a country's social and economic development.
This study analyzed the success factors that enable Indian micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to adopt the Indian government's Digital Economic Framework (GDEF) to prevent the growth of digital shadow economy (DSE). The study looked at the relationship between the government's intention to create a digital framework and successful adoption. In addition, the latent elements affecting the organizational and external readiness of Indian MSMEs, the intention to adopt the GDEF, and the successful adoption were examined. Finally, the study examined whether the intention to adopt GDEF influences Indian MSMEs' organizational preparation and effective adoption. In this quantitative study, 372 managers of MSMEs were surveyed. The results of the study show that market forces, government support, and supplier industry support significantly influence the propensity of Indian MSMEs to adopt the GDEF compared to organizational readiness. In contrast, the organizational preparation of the Indian MSME, comprising awareness, human resources, and top management commitment, had little impact on the GDEF adoption. This study also found a partial mediating relationship between Indian MSMEs' internal readiness and effective adoption. The study's findings can be used by policymakers, governments, and international organizations to strengthen or create e-business-enabling strategies and policies to safeguard their traditional economies against threats posed by the digital economy.

Either war or epidemic, human beings react differently. Epidemics apocalypse T.V. shows and movies capture the human reactions and psychological aspects quite well. The fresh experience of covid-19 has a huge impact on the viewership and readership of epidemic narratives. This paper will analyze the effects of the mutating human psyche and its actions in response to some human feelings concerning the Korean Apocalypse T.V. show, All of us are Dead. 
The making of the virus or dealing with the virus can be understood using Newton’s law of action and reaction. For those who read, an Epidemic is an event, but for those who experience it, it is a process. Experience changes the human understanding of the event, but its impact can mutate the human psyche and even compel human beings to react. In the end, it is a human reaction that causes a major threat to the entire humanity.

Published: November 2023

Modern car security systems have been developed as a result of the growing demand in the automotive sector for increased convenience and security. In order to provide safe access management and authentication for cars, this paper suggests a face recognition system-based auto security system that makes use of facial recognition techniques. When a match is detected, the system uses computer vision algorithms to identify and detect the faces of approved drivers, enabling the car to be unlocked and started without any issues. In order to convert near infrared face images into their corresponding visible images, we develop a nir-vis image translation model. Using two distinct nir databases of face images, the pre-trained face embedding model is applied to present the evaluation performances. The proposed system offers improved security by eliminating the need for traditional key-based systems and providing a robust biometric-based authentication mechanism. Anti-spoofing procedures are also integrated to guarantee the system's dependability and defense against fraudulent attempts. One of the disadvantages of the current systems is that not everyone finds it comfortable to have to memorize their password for certain systems. An RFID card is another device that has been developed to verify the identification of the user. Hackers have the ability to modify RFID data and substitute it with their own. Certain systems utilize fingerprints to verify an individual's identity. The primary reasons for the low adoption of biometric fingerprint locks are their expensive cost and the potential for falsified or damaged fingerprints. Certain systems identify an obstruction ahead of the car, sound an alert, tell the driver to pull over, but do nothing to actually avoid the obstruction. Through tests and assessments, the usefulness and practicability of the suggested system are shown, highlighting its potential as a workable option for safe and practical access management in automotive settings
Women's Reproductive Rights: a Way to Gender Justice
Authors: - Sanghapriya Samajder
Published: November 2023

For generations, women have been battling for reproductive rights. Because of moral, ethical, and religious reasons, these rights have always been a contentious issue.
Do reproductive rights simply imply the ability to reproduce? Is the issue, on the other hand, intrinsically tied to the myriad questions surrounding women's reproductive freedom? The ability to reproduce appears to be what distinguishes women from men. Do women, however, have control over their own reproduction? Do women have the right to decide whether, when, and how many children they want? Do women have access to safe methods of birth control? Do women have the right to an abortion that is safe? Is it possible to separate sexuality from reproduction? A resounding 'NO' in response to many similar inquiries sparked the birth of the women's health movement in several regions of the world in the early 1970s. It began with modest 'consciousness raising' groups that disseminated knowledge among women about the functioning of their bodies and gradually expanded into multi-faceted campaigns that have profoundly influenced health policies in many nations.
Human Rights are those rights that should be available to every individual without any form of discrimination. The foundation of freedom is recognition of the inherent dignity and equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family. The most essential human right is the right to life. It is the highest human right, from which no exceptions are authorised. It cannot be taken away. The arbitrary deprivation of life is prohibited by Article 6(1) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. However, there are several contentious concerns surrounding this greatest privilege. One such issue is the matter of abortion rights. Among other women's rights, it is thought that every mother has a universal right to abortion. But the rights of the mother are to be balanced with the rights of the unborn.
Previously, abortion was not permitted and was vehemently opposed by society. Terminating a pregnancy was considered a murder of the foetus. However, because to changes in time and technology, most governments now recognise this right, following the historic Roe v. Wade decision by the US Supreme Court. However, opponents remain, and many individuals believe that it should be made illegal.

NEW FIND OF THE SCYTHIAN SWORD NEAR MOTRONYNSKE HILLFORT
Authors: Lyashko Yu. Yu.
Published: November 2023

In spring 2023 two kilometers south-west of the well-known Motronynske hillfort of Scythian Age on a flat plateau the iron Scythian sword was found out by chance on a little depth. In the Steppe and Forest-Steppe of North Pontic region swords and daggers of this type date to the second half of 6th—5th cc. BC (rather by the first half of the latter century). Near Motronynske hillfort a few finds of Scythian swords and daggers are known but swords of similar type have not occurred before.

The site was examined by the author. It is a flat plateau with small depressions, located near the road to Hruskivka and Kamianka villages. Nearby the kurgan burial ground was located, investigated in 2018 by an expedition headed by O. D. Mohylov.

The sword was found at a depth of 0.5 m from the modern surface, in forest loam. No cultural layer can be traced here but to the south of the site there are remains of defensive structures in the form of an earthen rampart with a moat that covers the plateau spurs from the side of Hruskivka. Near this rampart in 2019, a bronze triangular arrowhead with a spike was found, which according to A. I. Meliukova’s classification belongs to type 1, group 1, division III.

In recent years several more swords and daggers of the 7th—5th centuries BC have been accidentally found in this area of the Kholodnyi Yar tract. This sword has a simple antenna-shaped pommel and butterfly-shaped cross-bar, i. e., according to the well-known classification of A. I. Meliukova, it belongs to the edged weapons of the II department of the 2nd type, which was widespread in the 6th — first half of the 5th century BC. The sword is 61.3 cm long, double-bladed, with a blade tapering in the last third of its length, well preserved. It weighs 650 grams. Finds of the edged weapons of infighting near the largest settlement of the Scythian Age in the Tyasmin-river-basin, presumably, are the evidence of a military collision of it’s inhabitants with the representatives of the nomadic world of Steppe.

Cassava is an important food base and an excellent alternative source of carbohydrates, especially in developing countries. As it is an easy-to-manage crop, it can be grown in small areas and does not require high soil fertility. This culture has a symbiotic relationship with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which expand the extent of the roots by the projection of their hyphae, which favors the absorption of water and nutrients from the soil and with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The objective of this work was to evaluate the interaction of nitrogen-fixing bacteria with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi at the initial stage of cassava culture. The following parameters were evaluated: the day of sprouting, plant height, root length, plant volume, colonization rate of mycorrhizal fungi and the genera of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Plants inoculated with AMF and diazotrophic bacteria presented the lowest day of sprouting, the highest plant height and longer root length. Mycorrhizal interactions with and without inoculation with nitrogen-fixing bacteria were classified, and mycorrhizal fungi of the genera Acaulospora, Diversispora, Glomus and Gigaspora were classified.

Published: November 2023

Five studies were conducted on the “XYZ” field to understand its reservoir properties, structural settings, and hydrocarbon-in-place. Petrophysical parameters were calculated using appropriate equations and wireline logs. 3D seismic fault models were created. A stacking pattern of the reservoir sand bodies was interpreted from a gamma-ray motif. The reservoir surface area was deduced using hydrocarbon indicators and seismic amplitude change. A seismic inline section corresponding with the reservoir zone was used for the seismic facie studies. Reservoir R1 has net-thickness of 111.71m and 117.09m, N/G ratio of 76% and 85%, effective porosity of 25% and 28%, hydrocarbon saturation of 44% and 40%, permeability of 14md and 16md, and Formation factor of 156.32 and 13.77 in well “XYZ-03” and “XYZ-05” respectively.Three-ways and two-ways fault-dependent closures with an anticlinal stratigraphic closure were delineated towards the western and middle parts of the field. Reservoir R1 generally shows an aggrading stacking pattern. R1 associated with wells "XYZ-03" and “XYZ-05” has hydrocarbon volume of 272,293.40m3 (1,712,674 bbl) and 193, 502.93m3 (1,217,097 bbl) respectively. Seismic facies showed continuous reservoir sand bodies. The field is endowed with moderate to good multiple reservoirs, and effective fault and stratigraphic closures, which support economically considerable hydrocarbon volume.

We report on the discovery and analysis of the planetary microlensing event OGLE-2019-BLG-1180 with a planet-to-star mass ratio q ∼ 0.003. The event OGLE-2019-BLG-1180 has unambiguous cusp-passing and caustic-crossing anomalies, which were caused by a wide planetary caustic with s ≃ 2, where s is the star–planet separation in units of the angular Einstein radius θ
E. Thanks to well-covered anomalies by the Korea Micorolensing Telescope Network (KMTNet), we measure both the angular Einstein radius and the microlens parallax in spite of a relatively short event timescale of t
E = 28 days. However, because of a weak constraint on the parallax, we conduct a Bayesian analysis to estimate the physical lens parameters. We find that the lens system is a super-Jupiter-mass planet of

OGLE-2019-BLG-1180Lb represents a growing population of wide-orbit planets detected by KMTNet, so we also present a general investigation into prospects for further expanding the sample of such planets.
Off-axis Afterglow Closure Relations and Fermi-LAT Detected Gamma-Ray Bursts

Published: November 2023

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are one of the most promising transient events for studying multiwavelength observations in extreme conditions. Observation of GeV photons from bursts would provide crucial information on GRB physics, including the off-axis emission. The Second Gamma-ray Burst Catalog (2FLGC) has been announced by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) Collaboration. This catalog includes 29 bursts with photon energy higher than 10 GeV. While the synchrotron forward-shock model has well explained the afterglow data of GRBs, photon energies greater than 10 GeV are very difficult to interpret within this framework. To study the spectral and temporal indices of those bursts described in 2FLGC, Fraija et al. (2022a) proposed the closure relations (CRs) of the synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) emission of GRBs emitted from an on-axis jet, which decelerates in stellar-wind and constant-density medium. In this paper, we extend the CRs of the SSC afterglow from an on-axis scenario to an off-axis scenario, including the synchrotron afterglow radiation that seems to be off-axis. In order to investigate the spectral and temporal index evolution of those bursts reported in 2FLGC, we consider hydrodynamical evolution with energy injection in the adiabatic and radiative regimes for an electron distribution with a spectral index of 1 < p < 2 and 2 < p. The results show that the most likely scenario for synchrotron emission corresponds to the stellar wind whether or not there is energy injection and that the most likely scenario for SSC emission corresponds to the constant density when there is no energy injection and to the stellar wind when there is energy injection.
A Comparative Study of Ground-level Enhancement Events of Solar Energetic Particles

Published: November 2023

Major solar eruptions can accelerate protons up to relativistic energies. Solar relativistic ions arriving at 1 au may cause a solar particle event detectable by the worldwide network of neutron monitors (NMs), a ground-level enhancement (GLE) event. Using the newly computed NM yield function, we have fitted the 15 historic GLEs. Moments of the fitted proton distributions are used for the analysis. Profiles of the proton net flux are very diverse, while some profiles are similar. For this study, we select two events with similar time profiles, GLE 60 (2001 April 15) and GLE 65 (2003 October 28), and ask what makes these GLEs similar. We compare the GLEs with their progenitor solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). We find a close relationship between the rise and peak of the GLE, on the one hand, and the solar flare and the metric radio emissions from extended coronal sources at the base of the CME, on the other hand. The GLE decay time, the rate of the proton spectrum evolution, and the CME speed are proportional to the duration of the soft X-ray flare. We compare the two GLEs with GLE 59 (2000 July 14) analyzed by Klein et al. and with the deka-MeV nucleon−1 proton and helium data from the ERNE instrument on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory spacecraft. The comparison indicates that a single solar eruption can produce more than one component of solar energetic particles, differently contributing at different energies and locations.
Decay of unique global solution for 3D tropical climate model with partial dissipation

Published: November 2023

In this article, we studied the asymptotic behavior of weak solutions to the three-dimensional tropical climate model with one single diffusion $ \mu\Lambda ^{2\alpha}u $. We established that when $ u_{0}\in L^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{3})\cap L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{3}) $, $ (w_0, \theta_0)\in (L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{3}))^2 $ and $ w\in L^\infty(0, \infty; W^{1-\alpha, \infty}(\mathbb{R}^3)) $ with $ \alpha\in(0, 1] $, the energy $ \Vert u(t)\Vert_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)} $ vanishes and $ \Vert w(t)\Vert_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)}+\Vert \theta(t)\Vert_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)} $ converges to a constant as time tends to infinity.
The maximum sum of the sizes of cross $ t $-intersecting separated families
Authors: Liu Erica L. L.
Published: November 2023

For a set $ X $ and an integer $ r\geq 0 $, let $ {X \choose \leq r} $ denote the family of subsets of $ X $ that have at most $ r $ elements. Two families $ \mathcal{A}\subset {X\choose \leq r} $ and $ \mathcal{B}\subset {X\choose \leq s} $ are cross $ t $-intersecting if $ |A\cap B|\geq t $ for all $ A\in\mathcal{A}, B\in\mathcal{B} $. In this paper, we considered the measures of cross $ t $-intersecting families $ \mathcal{A}\subset {X\choose \leq r} $, $ \mathcal{B}\subset {X\choose \leq s} $, then we used this result to obtain the maximum sum of sizes of cross $ t $-intersecting separated families.

Entry points of a Hilbert curve can be used for image compression, dimensionality reduction, corrupted image detection and many other applications. As far as we know, there is no specific algorithms developed for entry points. To address this issue, in this paper we present an efficient entry point encoding algorithm (EP-HE) and a corresponding decoding algorithm (EP-HD). These two algorithms are efficient by exploiting the m consecutive 0s in the rear part of an entry point. We further found that the outputs of these two algorithms are a certain multiple of a certain bit of s, where s is the starting state of these m levels. Therefore, the results of these m levels can be directly calculated without iteratively encoding and decoding. The experimental results show that these two algorithms outperform their counterparts in terms of processing entry points.
The Affirmative Mind: Spinoza on Striving under the Attribute of Thought
Authors: Steinberg Justin
Published: November 2023

In the Ethics, Spinoza advances two apparently irreconcilable construals of will [voluntas]. Initially, he presents will as a shorthand way of referring to the volitions that all ideas involve, namely affirmations and negations. But just a few propositions later, he defines it as striving when it is “related only to the mind” (3p9s). It is difficult to see how these two construals can be reconciled, since to affirm or assent to some content is to adopt an attitude with a cognitive (mind-to-world) direction of fit, while to strive to persevere in one’s being would seem to be to adopt an attitude with a conative (world-to-mind) direction of fit. Attempting to achieve consistency by taking striving under the attribute of thought to consist in affirming only pushes the equivocation problem onto the concept of affirmation (Lin 2019). It would seem, then, that Spinoza equivocates on the concepts of will, affirmation, or perhaps both. I defend the univocity of Spinoza’s accounts of will and affirmation, showing that it comports with established accounts of affirmation in early modern philosophy and yields a clear, uniform account of what it means to strive under the attribute of thought, preserving the systematicity of Spinoza’s account of mind in ways that other interpretations do not.
Individuating Powers: On the Regress/Circularity Individuation Arguments against Bird’s Dispositional Monism
Authors: Azzano Lorenzo
Published: November 2023

According to Bird’s Naïve Dispositional Monism, all properties are powers, and are individuated by their manifestations. Lowe has famously challenged the position with an individuation regress or circularity argument. Bird has then offered a structuralist side-step in the form of Structuralist Dispositional Monism, according to which powers are individuated through the unique position they occupy in an asymmetric power-structure. However, Structuralist Dispositional Monism has been argued to be just as problematic as Naïve Dispositional Monism, if not more so.I argue that the debate is severely flawed to the extent that it relies on Lowe’s standard characterization of metaphysical individuation as a binary relation between objects. I will argue against this characterization in favor of a different one, either as a standard or sui generis explanatory relation of individuality facts. In the former case, Naïve Dispositional Monism is clear of all charges previously raised against it; whereas in the latter case, Structuralist Dispositional Monism works just fine; Structuralist Dispositional Monism may ultimately be argued to the be the superior option. Either way, the status of Dispositional Monism, vis à vis individuation circularities, is not as compromised as some have claimed—and Lowe’s intended way out (viz., allow for some non-power to eventually break the circularity) loses much of its appeal.
Emojis as Pictures
Authors: Maier Emar
Published: November 2023

I argue that emojis are essentially little pictures, rather than words, gestures, expressives, or diagrams. 🎁 means that the world looks like that, from some viewpoint. I flesh out a pictorial semantics in terms of geometric projection with abstraction and stylization. Since such a semantics delivers only very minimal contents I add an account of pragmatic enrichment, driven by coherence and non-literal interpretation. The apparent semantic distinction between emojis depicting entities (like 🚗) and those depicting facial expressions (like 😊) I analyze as a difference between truth-conditional and use-conditional pictorial content: 🚗 depicts what the world of evaluation looks like, while 😊 depicts what the utterance context looks like.
Rehabilitating Transcendental Arguments: A Dialectical Dilemma for Stroud’s Meta-Epistemological Skepticism
Authors: Schüz Simon
Published: November 2023

The aim of this paper is to shake up the consensus view on transcendental arguments (TAs) that the ambitious “world-directed” kind fails and that only moderate, “belief-directed” transcendental arguments have a claim to validity. This consensus is based on Barry Stroud’s famous substitution objection: For any transcendental claim ‘p is an enabling condition for X’ we can readily substitute ‘the belief that p’ for ‘p’. I depart from the observation that the force of Stroud’s objection depends on it being applicable to any world-directed TA whatsoever. This requires a much more substantive justification than is commonly supposed. I rehabilitate world-directed TAs by posing a dialectical dilemma for the Stroudian skeptic: a certain moderate TA is required to uphold the skeptical challenge, but this TA brings with it the commitment to a distinction which restricts the scope of the challenge, namely to ‘empirical’ instead of ‘transcendental’ beliefs about the world. The positive result is a new way of understanding what world-directed transcendental arguments are: a way of showing us which of our beliefs about the world are true because they are, in the sense of Wittgenstein’s meter-measure analogy, constitutive of our very standard for objectivity.
Controlling (Mental) Images and the Aesthetic Perception of Racialized Bodies
Authors: Clavel-Vázquez Adriana
Published: November 2023

Aesthetic evaluations of human bodies have important implications for moral recognition and for individuals’ access to social and material goods. Unfortunately, there is a widespread aesthetic disregard for non-white bodies. Aesthetic evaluations depend on the aesthetic properties we regard objects as having. And it is widely agreed that aesthetic properties are directly accessed in our experience of aesthetic objects. How, then, might we explain aesthetic evaluations that systematically favour features associated with white identity? Critical race philosophers, like Alia Al-Saji, Mariana Ortega, Paul C. Taylor, and George Yancy, argue that this is because the perception of racialized bodies is affected by the social structures in which they are appreciated. The aim of this paper is to propose how social structures can affect aesthetic perception. I argue that mental imagery acquired through the interaction with aesthetic phenomena structures the perception of non-aesthetic properties of bodies, so that aesthetic properties consistent with racist stereotypes are attributed to individuals.
The Motivation Problem of Epistemic Expressivists
Authors: Duval Alexandre , Côté-Bouchard Charles
Published: November 2023

Many philosophers have adopted epistemic expressivism in recent years. The core commitment of epistemic expressivism is that epistemic claims express conative states. This paper assesses the plausibility of this commitment. First, we raise a new type of problem for epistemic expressivism, the epistemic motivation problem. The problem arises because epistemic expressivists must provide an account of the motivational force of epistemic judgment (the mental state expressed by an epistemic claim), yet various features of our mental economy seem to show that they can’t do so. Second, we develop what we take to be the most promising response to that problem for expressivists. We end by noting that this response faces an important challenge pertaining to the psychology of epistemic criticism and praise.
Measurement Scepticism, Construct Validation, and Methodology of Well-Being Theorising
Authors: Lange Victor , Grünbaum Thor
Published: November 2023

Precise measurements of well-being would be of profound societal importance. Yet, the sceptical worry that we cannot use social science instruments and tests to measure well-being is widely discussed by philosophers and scientists. A recent and interesting philosophical argument has pointed to the psychometric procedures of construct validation to address this sceptical worry. The argument has proposed that these procedures could warrant confidence in our ability to measure well-being. The present paper evaluates whether this type of argument succeeds. The answer is that it depends on which methodological background assumptions are motivating the sceptical worry to begin with. We show this by doing two things. First, we clarify (a) the different types of well-being theories involved in the science of well-being, and (b) the general methodological dimensions of well-being theorising. Second, we apply these distinctions and argue that construct validation is an unsuccessful response to measurement scepticism if this scepticism is motivated by a form of methodological non-naturalism. In the light of this, the overall point of the paper is that philosophers and scientists, when discussing measurement of well-being, should explicate their deeper methodological commitments. We further suggest that making such explicit commitments might present philosophers with a dilemma.
Fictionalism about Chatbots
Authors: Mallory Fintan
Published: November 2023

According to widely accepted views in metasemantics, the outputs of chatbots and other artificial text generators should be meaningless. They aren’t produced with communicative intentions and the systems producing them are not following linguistic conventions. Nevertheless, chatbots have assumed roles in customer service and healthcare, they are spreading information and disinformation and, in some cases, it may be more rational to trust the outputs of bots than those of our fellow human beings. To account for the epistemic role of chatbots in our society, we need to reconcile these observations. This paper argues that our engagement with chatbots should be understood as a form of prop-oriented make-believe; the outputs of chatbots are literally meaningless but fictionally meaningful. With the make-believe approach, we can understand how chatbots can provide us with knowledge of the world through quasi-testimony while preserving our metasemantic theories. This account also helps to connect the study of chatbots with the epistemology of scientific instruments.
Artificial Intelligence Applied to Project Management in the Industry 4.0 Concept
Authors: de Oliveira Igarashi Juliana Satie , de Magalhães Jorge Lima
Published: November 2023

Industry 4.0 transformation depends on a set of key technologies that apply across the entire industrial value chain, from the physical shop floor level to the virtual and informational levels. Furthermore, there is a growing awareness of the complementarity of skills between humans and machines and the opportunity to promote human-centric solutions, which is one of the core principles of the emerging Industry 5.0. In this sense, the purpose of this chapter is based on an overview of the use of artificial intelligence in project management in the 4.0 approach. The scope of the study is a bibliographical analysis using the Scopus database in the concepts as artificial intelligence (AI), project management (PM) and Industry 4.0 to identify better AI techniques and their interfaces in PM within the 4.0 concept.
Child Sexual Abuse
Authors: Shwetha T. S. , Nidugonda Pragnya
Published: November 2023

Child sexual abuse has its influence on multiple dimensions through crises in lawful, social, medical, and psychological matters. While child sexual abuse involves the child in a physical deed, its harmful developments are predominantly shown in the child's psyche. Its considerable risk factors for developing psychopathology lie not just in childhood and adolescence, but also into adulthood. Child sexual abuse is highly under-reported in India, which has attained epidemic proportions. It is still seen as a taboo, creating a sense of discomfort where most communities try to hide, ignore, or mistrust the accusations. In healthcare, it thus becomes paramount to understand the warning signs, the likelihood of revelation while interviewing, and the dynamics of the family about culture and implications that can come along with the abuse. With a keen understanding of the types of abuse and an awareness of the proceedings after the disclosure, safety can be targeted.
