Hegel's Ethical Naturalism
Creators: name: Mills, Nicolas Garcia
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Several commentators, most notably Terry Pinkard and Robert Stern, have recently suggested that Hegel’s “Philosophy of Spirit” is best read as some form of “Aristotelian naturalism.” However, these commentators’ contributions have for the most part either remained at a programmatic level or have attributed to Hegel views that are only questionably naturalistic. There has thus not yet been a sustained and detailed attempt to interpret Hegel as an ethical naturalist. My dissertation aims to help fill this gap in the literature by building on the work of these other scholars. I argue that Hegel is an ethical naturalist in that he subscribes to the following two theses: First, moral requirements are grounded or have their source in human nature. More specifically, our nature, essence or in Hegelian jargon our “concept,” which Hegel identifies with freedom, supplies the standard for the moral evaluation of human features and behavior. Second, human nature is built for Hegel out of more basic natural (biological) building blocks. In particular, distinctively human capacities, like objective consciousness or most importantly our capacity for practical freedom, emerge, on Hegel’s account, from the exercise of capacities that we share with lower animals. I refer to these theses as the essentialist thesis and the emergence thesis, respectively. I make the case for the emergence thesis in Chapters Two and Three. I do so in two steps: In Chapter Two I show how human rationality, in particular, objective consciousness, emerges for Hegel from our animal nature. In Chapter Three, I claim that the same goes for the will or our capacity for practical freedom. That capacity, too, is a natural capacity inter alia in the sense that it emerges from the exercise of capacities that we share with other animals. I then turn to the essentialist thesis. I make the case for this thesis, again, in two steps: In Chapter Four, I present Hegel’s account of the normative evaluation of animal organisms generally, human or otherwise. In Chapter Five, I expand Hegel’s theory of normativity from the non-moral evaluation of merely animal features and behavior to the moral evaluation of specifically human features and behavior. Chapter One argues that Hegel’s position must be naturalistic in some sense or other in an indirect way, by reviewing Hegel’s criticisms of Kant’s moral philosophy and extracting some clues from those criticisms as to what Hegel’s positive account might precisely look like.

description: В статье анализируются первые полные статистические данные по деятельности судов общей юрисдикции при пересмотре в кассационной инстанции. Автором использованы материалы Судебного департамента при Верховном Суде Российской Федерации. Анализ статистических данных за полный 2020 год в новых кассационных судах общей юрисдикции позволяет выявить основные проблемы в эффективности данных судов. В ходе изучения официальных данных автору удалось проанализировать количество поступивших на рассмотрение в каждом из кассационных судов дел и материалов. В статье дается оценка факторов, которые могут повлиять на работу изучаемых судебных органов. Автор считает, что стоит уделить особое внимание мировым судьям, так как именно этот институт правосудия должен в первую очередь отвечать принципу доступности для населения. Введение новых кассационных судов общей юрисдикции привело к переносу кассации в другой регион и поставило под вопрос обеспечение доступности правосудия для населения. Это позволяет сделать вывод автору о необходимости дальнейшего исследования результатов реформы кассации.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The world is facing an unprecedented refugee crisis (Butler, 2015; UNHCR Figures at a Glance, 2018), and refugee education, specifically higher education, is an understudied issue that has large individual and community implications. Refugee higher education is important economically and socially in both resettlement communities and during national rebuilding efforts (Dryden-Peterson, 2011a; Golden & Katz, 2009; Morlang & Stolte, 2008; Stevenson & Willott, 2007). Yet only 1% of refugee people of college age are in school, compared to 34% globally (UNHCR). The aim of this constructivist grounded theory (Charmaz, 2006) study is to examine the experiences of refugee background undergraduate students using semi-structured interviews and explore refugee college students’ perceptions and experiences of success, the supports and difficulties that have both facilitated and challenged their success in college, and the types of additional supports and resources that might be useful to them and others. Findings reflected three large thematic groupings that help provide insight into the refugee college experience: visibility, harnessing the power of the refugee experience, and reinterpreting success as balance. Within the theme of balance, six area emerged as necessary for students to achieve balance: traditional academic success, a safe and comfortable environment, community and human connection, health, obligation management, and identity.

description: We propose an improved version of the color evaporation model to describe heavy quarkonium production. In contrast to the traditional color evaporation model, we impose the constraint that the invariant mass of the intermediate heavy quark-antiquark pair to be larger than the mass of produced quarkonium. We also introduce a momentum shift between heavy quark-antiquark pair and the quarkonium. Numerical calculations show that our model can describe the charmonium yields as well as ratio of $ψ^\prime$ over $J/ψ$ better than the traditional color evaporation model.

Deposition and Characterization of Electronics Materials in Bionanotechnology and Micro/Nano-electronics

description: Microelectronic materials and especially electronics material for flexible electronics are of increasing interest in numerous applications from wearable health monitoring, displays, and consumer electronics to structural health monitoring and energy harvesting. Deposition of materials with the desired thickness and composition through scalable processes is vital to ensure flexibility, device functionality and translation to commercial processes. Of particular interest are graphic printing techniques and atomic layer deposition (ALD). Graphic printing techniques are of interest for large-scale fabrication where low cost is the primary driving force, thick films are desirable and constraints on device performance are relatively relaxed. ALD is used for large-scale fabrication when highly conformal, nm-thick films are required for device performance and reliability. In this thesis, screen printing, a graphic printing modality, was used to fabricate devices for large-area, low-cost structural monitoring applications. Such applications include the structural monitoring of aircraft, where a quantitative measurement system can greatly improve the current maintenance programs that primarily rely on qualitative information. Different process parameters and unique ink formulations were investigated in order to enhance the sensitivity of strain gauges and improve performance of strain sensor arrays. The performance of the gauges and auxiliary circuit materials were characterized in terms of reproducibility of strain sensitivity, reliability of dielectrics and conductors, fatigue and temperature responses as well as their microstructure. In addition, ALD was used for the first time to conformally coat collagen films with platinum for biosensor applications. The platinum coated collagen was characterized based on its resistivity, flexibility, morphology, and surface chemistry. Lastly, selective ALD of zirconia on silicon compared to copper substrates was improved by a unique pre-deposition treatment of the substrates, where improved selectivity is critical for future electronics fabrication. The selective ALD process for zirconia was studied in terms of different copper substrates, differences in the chemical species present on the substrates and the effect of different ALD process changes, all of which led to plausible mechanisms for the area selective ALD process.

description: Topological magnons in a one-dimensional (1D) ferromagnetic (FM) Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model with anisotropic exchange interactions are investigated. Apart from the inter-cellular isotropic Heisenberg interaction, the intercellular anisotropic exchange interactions, i.e. Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) and pseudo-dipolar interaction (PDI), also can induce the emergence of the non-trivial phase with two degenerate in-gap edge states separately localized at the two ends of the 1D chain, while the intracellular interactions instead unfavors the topological phase. The interplay among them has synergistic effects on the topological phase transition, very different from that in the two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnet. These results demonstrate that the 1D magnons possess rich topological phase diagrams distinctly different from the electronic version of the SSH model and even the 2D magnons. Due to the lower dimensional structural characteristics of this 1D topological magnonic system, the magnonic crystals can be constructed from bottom to top, which has important potential applications in the design of novel magnonic devices.

description: We consider fractional generalizations of the ordinary differential equation that governs the creep phenomenon. Precisely, two Caputo fractional Voigt models are considered: a rheological linear model and a nonlinear one. In the linear case, an explicit Volterra representation of the solution is found, involving the generalized Mittag-Leffler function in the kernel. For the nonlinear fractional Voigt model, an existence result is obtained through a fixed point theorem. A nonlinear example, illustrating the obtained existence result, is given.

description: Purpose: Sitting is a common and familiar position used daily as a platform for many motor activities. The goal of the study was to investigate how difference in the chair design and selected sitting manipulations contribute to reach distance in sitting. Method: Ten healthy subjects were required to perform reaching forward while sitting in an adjustable chair with 0, 10 forward or 10 backward inclination of the seat, with and without footrest and leg support and when holding the edge of the seat with the contralateral arm and legs crossed. Results: In comparison to sitting with feet on the footrest, the reaching distance decreased significantly when sitting on either forward or backward inclined seat (p<0.05) and it increased when the subjects held the edge of the seat while seated with footrest and the posterior leg support (p<0.05). There was no major effect of crossing the legs or the use of anterior leg support on the maximal reach distance. Conclusions: Modification of the chair design could increase or decrease reaching distance in sitting. The outcome of the study provides a background for future investigations of the effect of sitting positions on reaching distance in individuals with impairments who spend most of their time in sitting.
Narrative Events and Literacy Learning: Retelling as a Meaning-Making Practice

description: In this dissertation study, I present findings from a descriptive case study of a fifth-grade classroom in a private school that implements the principles and methods of Charlotte Mason, an educationalist from England at the turn of the 20th century. To investigate how the beliefs and practices of the school either reflect or deviate from Mason’s principles, I engaged in non-participant observations, conducted semi-structured interviews and analyzed the students’ narrations or retellings. Through this research inquiry, I aimed to illustrate how the school’s classical philosophy of education conflicted with Mason’s theories in several key areas–the originality of the narrations, the role of the teacher and the agency of the students. I attempted to understand what differences these divergent conceptualizations of Mason’s philosophy make on the implementation of the literacy methods in the classroom as well as the literate epistemologies held by the students. I also sought to illuminate the performance-oriented nature of retellings to show how they are storytelling events that utilize poetic language and display the originality of the students through the devices of parallelism, constructed dialogue, imagery and moral stance.

description: A proposal for a magnetic quantum processor that consists of individual molecular spins coupled to superconducting coplanar resonators and transmission lines is carefully examined. We derive a simple magnetic quantum electrodynamics Hamiltonian to describe the underlying physics. It is shown that these hybrid devices can perform arbitrary operations on each spin qubit and induce tunable interactions between any pair of them. The combination of these two operations ensures that the processor can perform universal quantum computations. The feasibility of this proposal is critically discussed using the results of realistic calculations, based on parameters of existing devices and molecular qubits. These results show that the proposal is feasible, provided that molecules with sufficiently long coherence times can be developed and accurately integrated into specific areas of the device. This architecture has an enormous potential for scaling up quantum computation thanks to the microscopic nature of the individual constituents, the molecules, and the possibility of using their internal spin degrees of freedom.

description: The study of high energy collisions between heavy nuclei is a field unto itself, distinct from nuclear and particle physics. A defining aspect of heavy ion physics is the importance of a bulk, self-interacting system with a rich space-time substructure. I focus on the issue of timescales in heavy ion collisions, starting with proof from low-energy collisions that femtoscopy can, indeed, measure very long timescales. I then discuss the relativistic case, where detailed measurements over three orders of magnitude in energy reveal a timescale increase that might be due to a first-order phase transition. I discuss also consistency in evolution timescales as determined from traditional longitudinal sizes and a novel analysis using shape information.

description: In microvascular transport, where both blood and drug carriers are involved, plasma skimming has a key role on changing hematocrit level and drug carrier concentration in capillary beds after continuous vessel bifurcation in the microvasculature. While there have been numerous studies on modeling the plasma skimming of blood, previous works lacked in consideration of its interaction with drug carriers. In this paper, a generalized plasma skimming model is suggested to predict the redistributions of both the cells and drug carriers at each bifurcation. In order to examine its applicability, this new model was applied on a single bifurcation system to predict the redistribution of red blood cells and drug carriers. Furthermore, this model was tested at microvascular network level under different plasma skimming conditions for predicting the concentration of drug carriers. Based on these results, the applicability of this generalized plasma skimming model is fully discussed and future works along with the model's limitations are summarized.

Doctoral dissertation - Designing the empathic experience. Suggestions from art practices

Subjects: collaborative design

description: In the light of the emerging collaborative approaches to design, this thesis aims at rethinking the traditional consideration of empathy as a designer's skill addressed at understanding the need and wishes of users. In managing collaborative processes, the designer's ability to step into the other's shoes is no longer enough. Empathy should be extended to participants who are asked to cooperate towards a common goal. On the basis of these premises, the thesis claims that a shift from considering empathy as a psychological ability of an individual to accounting for it as an experience that enhance dialogic and cooperative relations, could contribute to improving collaborative processes. In order to achieve this change of perspective, the thesis refers to a theoretical framework built on a phenomenological account of empathy. The phenomenological reading of empathy – developed in particular by Edith Stein and recently rediscovered and reviewed by Laura Boella, amongst others – focuses on its nature as an interpersonal experience that introduces the other into one's own personal horizon making his/her irreducible otherness emerge. The capacity of acknowledging otherness is as a key for establishing dialogic exchanges and cultivating a cooperative attitude. Empathy may unfold spontaneously within relational contexts, still requiring facilitation and support in addition to contextual circumstances which do not prevent it from occurring. Hence, this study aims to provide guidelines that assist in the design of particular conditions that enable the unfolding of empathic experiences. The guidelines serve a practical tool to help set up the context of collaborative processes in order to make them more effective. The guidelines for designing the empathic experience have been drawn from the study of participatory and collaborative art practices. In the thesis, art is accounted for its potential of creating particular relational contexts in which empathic experiences are triggered. Six case studies of art practices – immersive, collaborative and/or participatory – are analysed to the aim of understanding how they can suggest strategies and provide models for design processes based on collaboration. The case studies are interpreted referring to the theoretical framework of empathy as an experience, in the attempt of circumscribing the elements which enable an empathic experience therein. Nine recurring elements called enablers came out of the research on the case studies, laying the groundwork for developing the guidelines. The thesis is a cross-disciplinary work that waves philosophy and art into the current design discourse, and is intended as an attempt to translate theoretical reflections about empathy and our modes of experiencing the other into practical suggestions for facilitating collaborative processes and managing the relational dynamics at stake therein.

description: A low-energy radioactive ion beam facility for the production and study of nuclei produced close to the proton drip line is under development at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. The facility will take advantage of the mass selectivity of the recently commissioned MARA vacuum-mode mass separator. The ions selected by MARA will be stopped and thermalised in a small-volume gas cell prior to extraction and further mass separation. The gas cell design allows for resonance laser ionisation/spectroscopy both in-gas-cell and in-gas-jet. The facility will include experimental setups allowing ion counting, mass measurement and decay spectroscopy.

MetaZipf. (Re)producing knowledge about city size distributions

description: Zipf's law for cities is probably the most famous regularity in social sciences. So much that, a hundred years of publication later, its status is not clear: is it a law of social organisation? Is it an instrument of description of city size distributions? Is it an element of validation of geographical objects (cities and systems of cities in particular)? Empirical estimations of the rank-size parameters are very numerous and contradict each other. In this study, we present the results of a reproducible meta-analysis of the largest pool of papers regarding this issue, obtained from the collection of data made open and the construction of an online interactive application which allows the reader to explore this literature. We find that a large part of the variations observed in the measure of Zipf's coefficient is unnecessary as it comes from the choice of different technical specifications in the way cities are defined, whereas some of the current theories to explain the remaining share of variations are challenged by our results.

description: This is an invited article for the Discussion and Debate special issue of The European Physical Journal Special Topics on the subject "Can Economics Be a Physical Science?" The first part of the paper traces the personal path of the author from theoretical physics to economics. It briefly summarizes applications of statistical physics to monetary transactions in an ensemble of economic agents. It shows how a highly unequal probability distribution of money emerges due to irreversible increase of entropy in the system. The second part examines deep conceptual and controversial issues and fallacies in monetary economics from econophysics perspective. These issues include the nature of money, conservation (or not) of money, distinctions between money vs. wealth and money vs. debt, creation of money by the state and debt by the banks, the origins of monetary crises and capitalist profit. Presentation uses plain language understandable to laypeople and may be of interest to both specialists and general public.

Triple Bottom Line Sustainability to Design and Remediate Contaminated Site with Emerging Technology

description: This project consists of remediation of soil and groundwater in an oil refinery owned by Archer Daniels Midland, located in Lincoln, Nebraska. The site was previously used as grain elevator, and hazardous compounds, including carbon tetrachloride, were known to be used as fumigants before 1996; because of that the VOC’s contamination plume extended ¾ mile away from the source area, potentially affecting human and environmental health. This project aimed to remediate two areas: a source area, which contained the largest over limit contaminant levels in the surface soil, and a deep zone area, with contained the largest plume amount at over 85 ft deep within the groundwater table. The triple bottom line framework of sustainability was used to review and select remediation design options. For the environmental sustainability assessment, SEFA, SiteWise and SimaPro models were run. Economic sustainability was assessed by direct costs, risk assessment from @Risk, and net present value calculations. Next, the social sustainability was analyzed by conducting a public survey, using SSEM (Social Sustainability Evaluation Matrix), and a component of the SimaPro model. Lastly, the results for every method and approach used in this project were weighted into a single score using the MIVES mathematical model. After reviewing and analyzing all technology applicable to the site, the emulsified zero-valent iron (EZVI) alternative to treat both areas was selected, as the technology is known to be effective in different types of soil, as well as the most sustainable and comparable costs. EZVI was chosen as fracking for the shallow source area, and as PRB for the deep zone.
Logic Elaborated: An Account of the Source of the Normativity of Logic

description: The idea that logic has a normative role to play in our lives by telling us what we should and shouldn’t believe is well-entrenched in both philosophical tradition and our ordinary thinking about logic. In my dissertation, I focus on the question of the source of the normativity of logic – that is, why should we (on the assumption that we indeed should) heed the advice of logic? In the first part of the dissertation, I argue against the standard answer this question. I call it the “extrinsic view”. This view holds that (1) logic is to be understood as entirely independent from how we think and reason; and (2) the source of the normativity of logic lies in certain normative facts about belief – most notably that belief aims at truth. I argue against both components of the view, claiming, first, that the most well-established candidates for a definition of validity face serious philosophical challenges; and, second, that the idea that belief aims at truth is not fit to vindicate the full range of normative roles that we take logic to play. In the second part of the dissertation, I turn to an assessment of whether an alternative view can be rendered intelligible and defended. According to what I call the “intrinsic view”, logic is itself a normative enterprise. I defend a pragmatic constitutivist interpretation according to which logic is in the business of laying out (formally – in some sense of formal to be clarified) the norms that constitutively govern our believing practices. I examine one of the most serious stumbling blocks against the constitutive component of the view, namely, the possibility of error. I argue that constitutivism is entirely consistent with certain kinds of logical error, even though there are other kinds which it rules out. I then offer a sketch of how logic could be understood as formally laying out certain features of our believing practices. This suggests pluralism about logic, i.e., the idea that there is more than one correct logic. I argue that there is no tension between pluralism and the constitutive component of the proposal.

description: This paper primarily addresses a dataset relating to cellular, chemical and physical conditions of patients gathered at the time they are operated upon to remove colorectal tumours. This data provides a unique insight into the biochemical and immunological status of patients at the point of tumour removal along with information about tumour classification and post-operative survival. The relationship between severity of tumour, based on TNM staging, and survival is still unclear for patients with TNM stage 2 and 3 tumours. We ask whether it is possible to predict survival rate more accurately using a selection of machine learning techniques applied to subsets of data to gain a deeper understanding of the relationships between a patient's biochemical markers and survival. We use a range of feature selection and single classification techniques to predict the 5 year survival rate of TNM stage 2 and 3 patients which initially produces less than ideal results. The performance of each model individually is then compared with subsets of the data where agreement is reached for multiple models. This novel method of selective ensembling demonstrates that significant improvements in model accuracy on an unseen test set can be achieved for patients where agreement between models is achieved. Finally we point at a possible method to identify whether a patients prognosis can be accurately predicted or not.

description: We consider Unruh-Wald qubit detector model adopted for the far future region of an exactly solvable 1+1 dimensional scalar field theory in a Robertson-Walker expanding spacetime. It is shown that the expansion of the universe in its history enhances the decoherence of the qubit coupled with a scalar field. Moreover, we consider two entangled qubits, each locally coupled a scalar field. The expansion of the universe in its history degrades the entanglement between the qubits, and can lead to entanglement sudden death if the initial entanglement is small enough. The details depend on the parameters characterizing the expansion of the universe. This work, albeit on a toy model, suggests that the history of the universe might be probed through the coherent and entanglement behavior of future detectors of quantum fields.
