Reasoning with BDI Robots: From simulation to physical environment – Implementations and Limitations
Authors: Davis Darryl N. , Ramulu Shylaja Kanaganapalli 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
In this paper an overview of the state of research into cognitive robots is given. This is driven by insights arising from research that has moved from simulation to physical robots over the course of a number of sub-projects. A number of major issues arising from seminal research in the area are explored. In particular in the context of advances in the field of robotics and a slowly developing model of cognition and behaviour that is being mapped onto robot colonies. The work presented is ongoing but major themes such as the veracity of data and information, and their effect on robot control architectures are explored. A small number of case studies are presented where the theoretical framework has been used to implement control of physical robots. The limitations of the current research and the wider field of behavioral and cognitive robots are explored.

Published: November 2017

Abstract
Chronic tinnitus is often associated with hearing impairment, but it cannot be asserted that only hearing loss causes tinnitus. Audiograms of patients with tinnitus show that hearing loss occurred more often at high frequencies than at low frequencies.
The aim of this study was to analyse the audiogram shapes of patients with chronic tinnitus and to identify the relationship between the shape of the audiogram and intensity and duration of tinnitus.
This investigation was a cross case series study conducted at a general hospital in Kraljevo on patients with chronic subjective tinnitus. The study included 43 patients of both genders and of different ages. We used audiometry (measuring the threshold of hearing for frequencies from 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 Hz) and tympanometry. Each patient reported the intensity of tinnitus in each ear on a visual analogue scale (VAS1) and stated the duration of tinnitus for each ear.
Our research showed that patients with chronic tinnitus had a characteristic audiogram with progressive hearing loss to high frequencies. Th is difference was significantly increased starting from lower to higher frequencies, and the most hearing-decreased range (“edge”) was between 2000 and 4000 Hz. We did not find a strong link between the tinnitus intensity measured by the visual analogue scale and tinnitus duration on one side and hearing loss in the studied patients and audiogram shape on the other side. The duration of tinnitus was most associated with hearing loss at 2000 Hertz, but even that was not significant.
TWO MEASURES OF THE DEPENDENCE OF PREFERENTIAL RANKINGS ON CATEGORICAL VARIABLES
Authors: Lissowski Grzegorz 
Published: November 2017

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to apply a general methodology for constructing statistical methods, which is based on decision theory, to give a statistical description of preferential rankings, with a focus on the rankings’ dependence on categorical variables. In the paper, I use functions of description errors that are based on the Kemeny and Hamming distances between preferential orderings, but the proposed methodology can also be applied to other methods of estimating description errors.
THIRD PARTY SANCTIONS IN GAMES WITH COMMUNICATION
Authors: Obłój Jan , Abramczuk Katarzyna 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
This paper discusses the relation between communication and preservation of social norms guarded by third-party sanctions. In 2001 Jonathan Bendor and Piotr Swistak derived deductively the existence of such norms from a simple boundedly rational choice model. Their analysis was based on a perfect public information case. We take into account communication and analyse at the micro level the process of production and interpretation of information on which decisions are based. We show that when information is fully private and we allow for communication a state of anomie can result. If some social control mechanisms are available, social stability can be maintained. The less efficient the social control mechanisms however, the more restrictive rules will be needed to sustain the social norms. Furthermore not all cognitive strategies for interpreting received messages are equally effective. Strategies based on reputation are better than strategies based on profit analysis.
APPLICATION OF TOPSIS METHOD FOR THE EVALUATION OF ECONOMIC INEQUALITY IN OECD COUNTRIES
Authors: Kiszkiel Łukasz 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Growing economic stratification each year in many countries is such a pressing issue that even the World Economic Forum, organized in 2014 in the luxury resort of Davos, recognized it as one of the most dangerous threats to social order. The problem of economic inequality, pushed by the apologists of economic liberalism to the margins of media discourse, once again became a “hot” topic with the World Economic Crisis in 2008, the effects of which are still felt in various countries today, and which contribute to the expansion of global social stratification. The aim of the article is to describe the sample indicators typically used by organizations, i.e. OECD, theWorld Bank to measure economic inequality in the world, and then, on the basis of these indicators, create a synthetic instrument based on TOPSIS methodology, which will allow for preparing a multi-criteria ranking of OECD countries in terms of economic inequality.
THE BIOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF IDENTITY IN THE WORKS OF ANTONIO DAMASIO. THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS
Authors: Porankiewicz-Żukowska Aleksandra 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
This paper confronts the modern findings of neuroscience presented in the works of Antonio Damasio with classic and contemporary concepts regarding the phenomenon of self / identity developed on the basis of the social sciences. In my view, both types of consideration involve illegitimate reduction of presented phenomena either by inadequate analysis of social entities, or by underestimating their biological basis.
INTERNET SECURITY – TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIAL AWARENESS OF THE DANGERS
Authors: Laskowski Piotr Paweł 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The article describes selected issues related to user safety on the Internet. This safety consists of a number of factors such as the technology that we use to communicate and to browse the Internet, and habits and behaviors that we have acquired and through which we can identify at least some typical hazards encountered on the Web. Knowledge of software and the ability to use it and to configure it properly as well as checking regularly for security updates reduces the risk of data loss or identity theft. Public awareness of threats continues to grow, but there are also new, previously unknown threats; that is why it is so important to inform of the dangers by all available channels of communication.
MODUS PONENS AND MODUS TOLLENS: THEIR VALIDITY/INVALIDITY IN NATURAL LANGUAGE ARGUMENTS
Authors: Ri Yong-Sok 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
The precedent studies on the validity of Modus ponens and Modus tollens have been carried out with most regard to a major type of conditionals in which the conditional clause is a sufficient condition for the main clause. But we sometimes, in natural language arguments, find other types of conditionals in which the conditional clause is a necessary or necessary and sufficient condition for the main clause. In this paper I reappraise, on the basis of new definitions of Modus ponens and Modus tollens, their validity/invalidity in natural language arguments in consideration of all types of conditionals.
Kriteria Hukum Fikih Ja’fari
Authors: Rouf Abdul 
Published: November 2017

The phenomenon of Shi'ism in the discourse of Islamic thought becomes one of the interesting as well as controversial discourse. Shia Ja‘farī, known as the Shi'a Imamiyah is often a priori addressed. A lot of the literature on the founder’s thinking contains prejudices. As a result,Shia Ja‘farī is not only underestimated, but also regarded as an aberrationor misdirection. Serious accusations are often leveled by Sunni against the Shias. This study poses the real issue, referring to some authoritative literature on Shia about the historical background of the birth of the Ja‘farī school, its criteria of law, its attitude to the Qur'an, the Hadith of the Prophet, reason and qiyas.

Abstract.POSITIVE AFFECT AS AN INDICATOR OF THE ACADEMIC ATTRIBUTIONS IN MATHEMATICS The aim of the current study was to analyse the differences in the scores of academic attributions in Mathematics (success and failure attributed to capacity, effort and external causes) of Spanish students of primary education according to high and low scores in positive affect. To fulfil this target, a sample of 862 students of primary education (8-11 years old) was recruited. To obtain the scores of the analysed variables, the positive affect subscale of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule for Children (PANAS) and the Mathematics subscale of the Sydney Attribution Scale (SAS) were used. After performing the Levene’s test, the Student’s t-test was used to analyse the existence of statistically significant differences in the scores of academic attributions between students with high scores in positive affect and students with low scores. In this sense, it was proved that students with high marks in positive affect attributed more their failures and successes in Mathematics to external causes. On the contrary, students with low levels of positive affect attributed more their failures to the lack of capacity or effort. The presented results broad the knowledge of affect during childhood and possibility the future work in improving these aspects. Keywords: positive affect; academic attributions; Mathematics; PANAS; primary education.Resumen.

<p>В статье рассматривается отношение С. Есенина к урбанизации, внедрению в жизнь достижений науки и техники и к природе. Указывается, что первоначально поэт был противником, а также урбанизации, воспринимал данное явление как категорию ужасного. В отношении С. Есенина к природе заключается особая философия. Из философских и эстетических исканий С. Есенина следует вывод: природа и достижения должны находиться в гармонии, не вредить друг другу и человеку, а помогать им.</p>
Comparison of effect of intrathecal dexmedetomidine and clonidine as an adjuvant to hyperbaric bupivacaine in patients undergoing surgery for fracture femur and tibia
Authors: Chandra G. Praveen , Krishna Sampathi Shiva , Singh Pooja 
Published: November 2017

Background: Spinal anaesthesia with bupivacaine is administered routinely for lower abdominal and lower limb surgeries. The ensuing nerve block is sufficient to ensure patient’s wellbeing, while motor block facilitates the surgeon’s work. Post-operative pain relief can be achieved by various methods namely systemic opioid and non-opioid peripheral nerve blocks and local wound infiltration, each with their own merits and demerits. the present study was undertaken to compare the effect of intrathecal dexmedetomidine and clonidine as an adjuvant to hyperbaric bupivacaine in patients undergoing surgery for fracture femur and tibia.Methods: 80 patients between 20-60 years, undergoing elective surgery for closed fracture shaft of femur and tibia with ASA physical status of 1 and 2 were included in the study. All the subjects were randomly allocated to one of the two groups (Group C and Group D) by a computer-generated randomization chart. Group C received 2.5ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine with 50mcg clonidine and group D received 2.5ml of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine with 5mcg dexmedetomidine.Results: 30 of the 40 patients in group C were of ASA I and 10 were ASA II, while in group D, 25 were ASA I and 15 were ASA II. A significant difference was found in the onset time for sensory and motor block, receding time for sensory and motor block and the need of the first rescue analgesia between the two groups, showing that Dexmedetomidine was more potent than clonidine.Conclusions: Dexmedetomidine is a potent, highly selective and specific α2-adrenoreceptor agonist that has both sedative and analgesic effects and is also a valuable adjuvant when regional anaesthesia is incorporated.

Published: November 2017

Abstract
Alternanthera philoxeroides (alligator weed) grows abundantly in polluted Peri-urban Greater Hyderabad, India. It is collected at no cost and sold in the market as a leafy vegetable in the name of “Ceylon Spinach”. The plant accumulates iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) in roots and leaves. Soil samples were analyzed for pH, EC, available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) and showed significant metal concentrations of Pb, Mn and Zn, which varied from one location to another. The metal accumulation order in the plants is root>leaf>stem in all the studied sites. The results revealed that the massive roots of alligator weed are effective in the bioconcentrating Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb and Cd, although the plant parts are rich in nutraceuticals like phenolics and antioxidants. Therefore, low income community prefers to consume it as vegetable. However, its consumption as a leafy vegetable can cause health risks.
cis- and trans- regulation controls of human meiotic recombination at a hotspot
Authors: Ergören Mahmut C. , Neumann Rita , Berg Ingrid , Jeffreys Alec J. 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
PRDM9 plays a key role in specifying meiotic recombination hotspot locations in humans. To examine the effects of both the 13-bp sequence motif (cis-regulator) and trans-regulator PRDM9 on crossover frequencies and distribution, we studied Hotspot DA. This hotspot had the motif at its centre, and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that disrupts the motif. The crossover frequency showed Hotspot DA to be a regular hotspot with an average crossover rate (~8 X10-4) among hotspots assayed on autosomes. Our results show that, comparing the rates and distributions of sperm crossover events between donors heterozygous for the disrupting SNP showed that there was a huge asymmetry between the two alleles, with the derived, motif-disrupting allele completely suppressing hotspot activity. Intensive biased gene conversion, both in to crossovers and noncrossovers, has been found at Hotspot DA. Biased gene conversion that influences crossover and non-crossover hotspot activity correlates with PRDM9 allele A. In Hotspot DA, the lifetime of the hotspot mostly depends on the cis-regulatory disrupting SNP, and on the trans-regulatory factor PRDM9. Overall, our observation showed that Hotspot DA is the only evidence for human crossover hotspot regulation by a very strong cisregulatory disrupting SNP.
