Schooling in an Earlier Era: Some Reminiscences and Convictions
Creators: name: Phillips, Charles E
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: This article should be childishly simple because it is a record of my own experience as a boy and as a pupil during the early part of the present century, with occasional indications of how that experience fitted in with educational thought and conditions at the time. From age three to seven I was taught at home to tell the time and to play dominoes, checkers, and a variety of card games-including euchre, cassino, thirty on the king, poker, and whist. These were obviously useful accomplishments because we lived with grandparents, an aunt, and two uncles-all maternal. My aunt seemed to rely on me to get her off to work on time, and I was constantly in demand to make a fourth at cards, except on Sundays, when only dominoes and checkers were allowed. Another advantage was that I was well prepared for learning to read at school without having interest killed by pre-knowledge of what the school would teach. Although the school had a kindergarten, I was not sent to it. My Anglican parents were probably aware of concern expressed in the Toronto synod in 1900 about heretical religious views of Froebel, but that would not have deterred them. Certainly it was not because kindergartens were "progressive:" my father and mother were extremely "permissive" even if unaware of any such labels. My only recollection is that they saw no reason for rushing things by sending a child to be cooped up in school earlier than need be. Of course, no one in our house had r eceived more than an elementary education except my relatively young aunt, who had a year or two in fifth book, but my parents set no upper limits on the length of formal education-quite the contrary.

description: What criteria can one use in order to judge the suitability of the content of education at any given period of time? Only, it would appear on reflection, those which have underlain all teaching of young people at all times in all places; namely judgments upon the effectiveness of their studies in preparing them socially, intellectually and economically for their lives as adults.

description: Knowledge graph (KG) plays an increasingly important role in recommender systems. Recently, graph neural networks (GNNs) based model has gradually become the theme of knowledge-aware recommendation (KGR). However, there is a natural deficiency for GNN-based KGR models, that is, the sparse supervised signal problem, which may make their actual performance drop to some extent. Inspired by the recent success of contrastive learning in mining supervised signals from data itself, in this paper, we focus on exploring the contrastive learning in KG-aware recommendation and propose a novel multi-level cross-view contrastive learning mechanism, named MCCLK. Different from traditional contrastive learning methods which generate two graph views by uniform data augmentation schemes such as corruption or dropping, we comprehensively consider three different graph views for KG-aware recommendation, including global-level structural view, local-level collaborative and semantic views. Specifically, we consider the user-item graph as a collaborative view, the item-entity graph as a semantic view, and the user-item-entity graph as a structural view. MCCLK hence performs contrastive learning across three views on both local and global levels, mining comprehensive graph feature and structure information in a self-supervised manner. Besides, in semantic view, a k-Nearest-Neighbor (kNN) item-item semantic graph construction module is proposed, to capture the important item-item semantic relation which is usually ignored by previous work. Extensive experiments conducted on three benchmark datasets show the superior performance of our proposed method over the state-of-the-arts. The implementations are available at: https://github.com/CCIIPLab/MCCLK.

Career Education and Labour Market Conditions: The Skills Gap Myth
Creators: name: Hyslop-Margison, Emery J.
name: Welsh, Bejamin H.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: This paper investigates the prevailing high-tech knowledge-based economy rationale supporting current career education program development and contrasts it with labour market realities by addressing the following questions: a) What employment sectors anticipate significant job growth, and what skill levels or academic knowledge are required to work within those sectors? and, b) will increasing the level of student knowledge and skills make a difference in addressing the problems identified as the motivation for various skill initiatives in career education programs? Based on our empirical analysis of labour market conditions and a number of subsequent inferences, we conclude that the trend toward career education in public schooling is predicated on fallacious assumptions about present and prognosticated employment patterns combined with ideological attempts to deflect public attention from the systemic crises facing modern industrialized countries.

L'Enseignant: Intellectuel et Professionel

Year: 2018

description: Although trends increasingly consider the teacher as a professional, the above definition more clearly suggests his or her real level of knowledge and work. Nevertheless, this perception only partially reveals the teacher's participation in social initiatives, and obscures the part played in ideological or educational activities. Drawing inspiration from scholars' analyses, this paper characterizes the teacher as an intellectual or mediator, at the crossroads of social interaction as an heir, an interpreter, a critic, a producer and a reproducer of education and ideology. As one whose part is to make the young understand the concepts, ideals, and the value of collective regulation. This concept does not interfere with the teacher's professional work, however, it underlines the fact that we cannot understand the specialization of the teacher's knowledge and work without referring to the teacher as an intellectual, and without revealing the vicissitudes of his or her social heritage.

Paths From Erich Fromm: Thinking Authority Pedagogically
Creators: name: Weiner, Eric J.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Critical psychologist, Erich Fromm, addresses the notion of authority in a way that reveals it as an ethical issue, one that teachers and other political workers must confront everyday. When combined with his work on negative freedom, Fromm provides an important contribution to the way we might think authority pedagogically, using power productively and non-authoritatively in the service of democratic ideals. Drawing from Fromm's work, this article confronts the disturbing relationship between individualism on one hand, and the ability for individuals to think collectively and transform social structures on the other. In this context, atomization becomes a dimension of both fascism and capitalism, one that positions freedom as the antithesis of political action.

The Method of Anschauung: From Johann H. Pestalozzi to Herbert Spencer
Creators: name: Takaya, Keiichi
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: One of the major inventions of modern education is the instructional use of Anschauung. It was a kind of experience/based learning and had two major influences - first as a method of instruction which was more effective than mere book learning and rote memorization, and second, as a rejection of old social arrangements which inculcated traditional values through deductive and authoritarian teaching. In this article I will examine how the implications of appealing to Anschauung have changed according to socio-historical changes.

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: Traditional object detection answers two questions; "what" (what the object is?) and "where" (where the object is?). "what" part of the object detection can be fine-grained further i.e. "what type", "what shape" and "what material" etc. This results in the shifting of the object detection tasks to the object description paradigm. Describing an object provides additional detail that enables us to understand the characteristics and attributes of the object ("plastic boat" not just boat, "glass bottle" not just bottle). This additional information can implicitly be used to gain insight into unseen objects (e.g. unknown object is "metallic", "has wheels"), which is not possible in traditional object detection. In this paper, we present a new approach to simultaneously detect objects and infer their attributes, we call it Detect and Describe (DaD) framework. DaD is a deep learning-based approach that extends object detection to object attribute prediction as well. We train our model on aPascal train set and evaluate our approach on aPascal test set. We achieve 97.0% in Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC) for object attributes prediction on aPascal test set. We also show qualitative results for object attribute prediction on unseen objects, which demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach for describing unknown objects.

description: Two new square pyramidal iron(III)-complexes of ‘salen’-type Schiff base ligands containing 4-substituted long alkoxy arms on the aromatic rings, [Fe(4-C16H33O)2salcn)]Cl and [Fe(4-C16H33O)2salophen)]Cl {salcn = N,Nʹ-cyclohexanebis(salicylideneiminato) and salophen = N,Nʹ-phenylenebis(salicylideneiminato)}, have been successfully synthesised, and their mesomorphic property investigated. The ligands and complexes were characterised by elemental analyses, UV–Vis, FT-IR, ESI–MS, 1H and 13C NMR (for ligands only). The phase behaviour of the iron(III) complexes were ascertained by differential scanning calorimetry, polarising optical microscopy and variable temperature PXRD study. Ligands are non-mesomorphic, however, mesomorphism got induced upon complexation with the iron(III) centre. X-ray diffraction study revealed a layer-like arrangement of the five coordinated mesomorphic iron(III) complexes. The mesophase is stable over a wide range of temperature. The density functional theory calculations were carried out using Gaussian 09 program at B3LYP level using unrestricted 6–31G (d, p) basis set to obtain the optimised geometry of the iron(III) complexes.

description: Введение. В начале ХХI в. ведущие военные державы мира вновь включили в свои военные доктрины положения о возможности ведения крупномасштабной войны, в том числе с использованием ядерного оружия. Применение ядерного оружия создаст на поле боя весьма специфическую боевую и психологическую ситуацию. Психологическое давление на военнослужащих в ядерной войне неизмеримо возрастет. В связи с этим цель статьи — уточнить психологическую феноменологию, порождаемую поражающими факторами ядерного оружия, выработать научные рекомендации по военно-политической и психологической подготовке военнослужащих к боевой деятельности в ядерной войне и обозначить основные направления психологической и военно-политической работы с военнослужащими в условиях применения ядерного оружия. Материалы и методы. Достижение поставленной цели осуществлялось посредством методов изучения документов, научной литературы, свидетельств лиц, переживших экстремальные события, сходные по воздействию на человеческую психику с поражающими факторами ядерного оружия, сравнительно-правовой метод и метод аналогий. Результаты и обсуждение. Доказывается важность учета психологических факторов выполнения боевых задач в условиях применения ядерного оружия. Анализируется психологическое влияние поражающих факторов ядерного оружия на боевую деятельность военнослужащих. Обосновываются задачи военно-политической и психологической подготовки военнослужащих. Выводы. Психологические факторы, связанные с применением ядерного оружия, способны порождать у психологически не подготовленных военнослужащих и населения в районе боевых действий тревогу, страх, панику, невроз радиации и другие психологические проблемы, существенно снижающие эффективность боевой деятельности войск. Для обеспечения успешного выполнения боевых задач в условиях применения ядерного оружия необходима специальная психологическая и военно-политическая подготовка, нацеленная на формирование у военнослужащих знаний о физических принципах ядерного оружия, ограниченности его поражающих факторов, путях избегания и минимизации их неблагоприятного влияния, преодоления вредных психологических последствий от их воздействия.

description: Ferromagnetic insulators (FM-Is) are the materials of interest for new generation quantum electronic applications. Here, we have investigated the physical observables depicting FM-I ground states in epitaxial Sm$ _{2} $NiMnO$ _{6} $ (SNMO) double perovskite thin films fabricated under different conditions to realize different level of Ni/Mn anti-site disorders (ASDs). The presence of ASDs immensely influence the characteristic magnetic and anisotropy behaviors in SNMO system by introducing short scale antiferromagnetic interactions in predominant long range FM ordered host matrix. Charge disproportion between cation sites in form of $ Ni^{2+}+Mn^{4+} \longrightarrow Ni^{3+}+Mn^{3+} $, causes mixed valency in both Ni and Mn species, which is found insensitive to ASD concentrations. Temperature dependent photo emission, photo absorption measurements duly combined with cluster model configuration interaction simulations, suggest that the eigenstates of Ni and Mn cations can be satisfactorily described as a linear combination of the unscreened $ d^{n} $ and screened $ d^{n+1} \underline{L} $ ($ \underline{L} $: O 2\textit{p} hole) states. The electronic structure across the Fermi level (E$ _{F} $) exhibits closely spaced Ni $ 3d $, Mn $ 3d $ and O $ 2p $ states. From occupied and unoccupied bands, estimated values of the Coulomb repulsion energy ($ U $) and ligand to metal charge transfer energy ($ Δ$), indicate charge transfer insulating nature, where remarkable modification in Ni/Mn $ 3d $ - O $ 2p $ hybridization takes place across the FM transition temperature. Existence of ASD broadens the Ni, Mn $ 3d $ spectral features, whereas spectral positions are found to be unaltered. Hereby, present work demonstrates SNMO thin film as a FM-I system, where FM state can be tuned by manipulating ASD in the crystal structure, while I state remains intact.

description: We investigate the inter-particle interactions of weak homeotropic anchoring when electric field is applied parallel to far-field director in a homogeneous nematic cell. Two particles interact with the dipole–dipole and quadrupole–quadrupole interactions in the cell. A model of far-field solution dependent on the cell gap and the electric field with weak anchoring is considered to explain the experimental results. The effective radius is introduced to adapt the anchoring strength effect using the radius (R) and a coefficient . The model was experimentally proved with varying electric field and cell gap and it was reasonable for weak electric field. The coefficient was measured to be and for the dipole–dipole and quadrupole–quadrupole interactions, respectively, within the experimental range of the weak electric field. The anchoring strength was calculated as ~

description: We investigate the local viscosity of a polymer glass around its glass transition temperature using environment-sensitive fluorescent molecular rotors embedded in the polymer matrix. The rotors' fluorescence depends on the local viscosity, and measuring the fluorescence intensity and lifetime of the probe therefore allows to measure the local free volume in the polymer glass when going through the glass transition. This also allows us to study the local viscosity and free volume when the polymer film is put under an external stress. We find that the film does not flow homogeneously, but undergoes shear banding that is visible as a spatially varying free volume and viscosity.

description: We present a combined theoretical and experimental study of the electronic structure of stoichiometric Bi$_4$Te$_3$, a natural superlattice of alternating Bi$_2$Te$_3$ quintuple layers and Bi bilayers. In contrast to the related semiconducting compounds Bi$_2$Te$_3$ and Bi$_1$Te$_1$, density functional theory predicts Bi$_4$Te$_3$ to be a semimetal. In this work, we compute the quasiparticle electronic structure of Bi$_4$Te$_3$ in the framework of the $GW$ approximation within many-body perturbation theory. The quasiparticle corrections are found to modify the dispersion of the valence and conduction bands in the vicinity of the Fermi energy, leading to the opening of a small indirect band gap. Based on the analysis of the eigenstates, Bi$_4$Te$_3$ is classified as a dual topological insulator with bulk topological invariants $\mathbb{Z}_2$ (1;111) and magnetic mirror Chern number $n_M=1$. The bulk $GW$ results are used to build a Wannier-functions based tight-binding Hamiltonian that is further applied to study the electronic properties of the (111) surface. The comparison with our angle-resolved photoemission measurements shows excellent agreement between the computed and measured surface states and indicates the dual topological nature of Bi$_4$Te$_3$.

description: Введение. Проблема, связанная с решением вопроса о личностно-профессиональной пригодности кандидатов на службу в органы внутренних дел, представляется актуальной и важной. Целью исследования явилось установление взаимосвязей между результатами, полученными с использованием формализованных психодиагностических методик, и группой пригодности, определяемой кандидату комиссией по профессиональному психологическому отбору. Материалы и методы. При обследовании 151 кандидата на службу в ОВД применялся блок формализованных обязательных тестов и опросников (прогрессивные матрицы Дж. Равена, методика «Аналогии», краткий отборочный тест В. Н. Бузина, Э. Ф. Вандерлик, методика «Словарь», многомерный метод исследования личности Ф. Б. Березина, опросник «Мотивационный профиль», «Методика изучения правосознания», методика «Оценка субъективной локализации контроля над значимыми событиями», методика «Оценка уровня волевой саморегуляции»). Методом полуструктурированного интервью были опрошены 28 психологов. Результаты и обсуждение. Посредством факторного анализа (метод главных компонент) данных, получаемых в результате применения вышеуказанных методов, выявлено 22 фактора, в разной степени определяющих личностно-профессиональную пригодность. Их связь с группой пригодности проверялась с использованием корреляционного и регрессионного анализа, с помощью которых выявлено, что ни один из данных факторов в должной мере не детерминирует группу пригодности кандидата. Кроме того, психологи ОВД, принимая решение о личностно-профессиональной пригодности кандидатов на службу в органы внутренних дел, ориентируются на результаты применения неформализованных методов психодиагностики, что было установлено их опросом с использованием метода полуструктурированного интервью. Выводы. На основании результатов тестирования, математического анализа с помощью корреляционного и регрессионного методов выявлено, что использование только формализованных методик недостаточно для определения личностно-профессиональной пригодности кандидатов на службу ОВД. Необходимы дополнительные данные качественных психодиагностических методов, а также учет профессионального опыта психологов и членов комиссии по профотбору.

description: We present a simple and facile approach for preparing antibacterial magnetic nanoparticles, which were modified with quaternarized N-halamine based cationic polymer (CPQN). The CPQN functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs-CPQN) were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Antibacterial properties were investigated with Gram positive bacteria S. aureus and Gram negative bacteria E. coli. Antibacterial assessment showed that the MNPs-CPQN could eliminate nearly 100% of S. aureus and 99.9% of E. coli (107-8 CFU/mg nanoparticles) in 5 min, while the bactericide rate of quaternized N-halamine precursor based cationic polymer coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs-CPQNP) were 99.6 and 95.2%, respectively. The prepared nanoparticles exhibited a good response to an external magnetic field and had a saturation magnetization of 36.6 emu g−1. On the basis of their excellent antibacterial properties and magnetic responsiveness, the MNPs-CPQN would be a promising antibacterial material for water disinfection.

description: Radio continuum observations offer a new window on compact objects in globular clusters compared to typical X-ray or optical studies. As part of the MAVERIC survey, we have used the Australia Telescope Compact Array to carry out a deep (median central noise level of approximately 4 microJy per beam) radio continuum survey of 26 southern globular clusters at central frequencies of 5.5 and 9.0 GHz. This paper presents a catalogue of 1285 radio continuum sources in the fields of these 26 clusters. Considering the surface density of background sources, we find significant evidence for a population of radio sources in seven of the 26 clusters, and also identify at least 11 previously known compact objects (6 pulsars and 5 X-ray binaries). While the overall density of radio continuum sources with 7.25-GHz flux densities greater than about 20 microJy in typical globular clusters is relatively low, the survey has already led to the discovery of several exciting compact binaries, including a candidate ultracompact black hole X-ray binary in 47 Tuc. Many of the unclassified radio sources near the centres of the clusters are likely to be true cluster sources, and multi-wavelength follow-up will be necessary to classify these objects and better understand the demographics of accreting compact binaries in globular clusters.

description: The MAVERIC survey is the first deep radio continuum imaging survey of Milky Way globular clusters, with a central goal of finding and classifying accreting compact binaries, including stellar-mass black holes. Here we present radio source catalogs for 25 clusters with ultra-deep Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array observations. The median observing time was 10 hr per cluster, resulting in typical rms sensitivities of 2.3 and 2.1 uJy per beam at central frequencies of 5.0 and 7.2 GHz, respectively. We detect nearly 1300 sources in our survey at 5 sigma, and while many of these are likely to be background sources, we also find strong evidence for an excess of radio sources in some clusters. The radio spectral index distribution of sources in the cluster cores differs from the background, and shows a bimodal distribution. We tentatively classify the steep-spectrum sources (those much brighter at 5.0 GHz) as millisecond pulsars and the flat-spectrum sources as compact or other kinds of binaries. These provisional classifications will be solidified with the future addition of X-ray and optical data. The outer regions of our images represent a deep, relatively wide field (~ 0.4/sq. deg) and high resolution C band background survey, and we present source counts calculated for this area. We also release radio continuum images for these 25 clusters to the community.

description: Comparing with the fission product nuclide (FP) decay heat summation calculation result in MeV/sec/fission based on the JENDL FP decay and yield data files 2011 for the burst fission, FP decay heat calculated by ORIGEN2.2 coupled with JENDL-4.0 base library ORLIBJ40 was verified at the cooling time from 1 sec to 108 sec for 235U (thermal), 238U (fast), 239Pu (thermal) and 241Pu (thermal). For these fission nuclides, FP decay heat calculated by CASMO5 at the same cooling time after a short irradiation (104 sec) was also compared with that of ORIGEN2.2. In the analysis of decay heat measurements at the cooling time from 2.3 years to 27 years consisting of four data sets on the fuel assemblies discharged from the US PWRs and BWRs, and the Swedish PWRs and BWRs, the average values of the ratios of the calculated to measured results (C/E's) were from 0.972 to 1.031 for ORIGEN2.2, and from 0.977 to 1.016 for CASMO5. The standard deviations of C/E's for the four data sets were from 0.02 to 0.03 for the both codes except for those of the US BWR fuel assemblies which were from 0.11 to 0.12. The obtained C/E's were similar to those in the precedent study.

description: Le système de protection sociale au Maroc évolue dans un contexte marqué par des inégalités historiques et une volonté récente d’universalisation. Depuis l’indépendance, des progrès ont été réalisés, mais le système reste fragmenté et exclut une partie importante de la population, notamment les travailleurs informels et ruraux. Les politiques d’ajustement structurel des années 1980 ont aggravé ces disparités, tandis que les réformes des années 2000, comme l’AMO et le RAMED, n’ont pas suffi à résoudre les lacunes.

Récemment, le Maroc a engagé des réformes ambitieuses, notamment avec la Loi-Cadre 09-21 (2020), visant une couverture universelle d’ici 2025. Cette stratégie prévoit l’élargissement de l’AMO à 22 millions de bénéficiaires supplémentaires, des allocations pour 7 millions d’enfants et l’intégration des migrants dans le système de retraite. Le Registre Social Unifié (RSU) joue un rôle clé dans l’identification des populations vulnérables. Cependant, le financement de ces mesures (estimé à 51 milliards de dirhams annuels) repose sur un modèle mixte, combinant cotisations et subventions publiques, ce qui soulève des questions de viabilité.

Les réformes se heurtent à plusieurs défis persistants : assurer leur financement dans un contexte budgétaire contraint, renforcer la gouvernance pour éviter les doublons institutionnels, intégrer les travailleurs informels et améliorer l’offre de soins, notamment en milieu rural.

En conclusion, bien que les réformes actuelles soient prometteuses, leur succès dépendra d’une approche globale incluant un financement pérenne, une coordination renforcée, une sensibilisation accrue des citoyens et un système de santé plus performant. La réalisation d’une protection sociale équitable et efficace reste un enjeu crucial pour le développement socio-économique du Maroc.

description: Efficient cryopreservation conditions for the edible alkalophilic cyanobacterium Arthrospira (Spirulina) platensis were investigated using a model strain A. platensis NIES-39. As a result, it was found that more than 60% of cells were viable upon thawing, when they had been frozen at a cooling rate of approximately −1 °C min−1 in the presence of 10% (v/v) dimethyl sulfoxide. Further examination with other Arthrospira strains showed that many of them had strain-dependent optimal conditions for cryopreservation. For example, the best freezing conditions for A. platensis SAG 21.99 were snap-freezing in liquid nitrogen in the presence of 5% (v/v) dimethyl sulfoxide, while they were slow cooling at approximately −1 °C min−1 in the presence of 10% (v/v) methanol for A. platensis NIES-46, NIES-2308 and UTEX 1926. The variety of successful cryopreservation conditions presented in this study is useful when attempting to cryopreserve various Arthrospira strains. The conditions for efficient cryopreservation of Arthrospira platensis were determined. They enable genetically stable preservation of many A. platensis strains.

description: We describe an impedance-based method for cell barrier integrity testing. A four-electrode electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) setup can be realized by simply connecting a commercial chopstick-like electrode (STX-1) to a potentiostat allowing monitoring cell barriers cultivated in transwell inserts. Subsequent electric circuit modeling of the electrical impedance results the capacitive properties of the barrier next to the well-known transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER). The versatility of the new method was analyzed by the EIS analysis of a Caco-2 monolayer in response to (a) different membrane coating materials, (b) two different permeability enhancers ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) and saponin, and (c) sonoporation. For the different membrane coating materials, the TEERs of the standard and new protocol coincide and increase during cultivation, while the capacitance shows a distinct maximum for three different surface materials (no coating, Matrigel, and collagen I). The permeability enhancers cause a decline in the TEER value, but only saponin alters the capacitance of the cell layer by two orders of magnitude. Hence, cell layer capacitance and TEER represent two independent properties characterizing the monolayer. The use of commercial chopstick-like electrodes to access the impedance of a barrier cultivated in transwell inserts enables remarkable insight into the behavior of the cellular barrier with no extra work for the researcher. This simple method could evolve into a standard protocol used in cell barrier research.

description: Integrating security activities into the software development lifecycle to detect security flaws is essential for any project. These activities produce reports that must be managed and looped back to project stakeholders like developers to enable security improvements. This so-called Feedback Loop is a crucial part of any project and is required by various industrial security standards and models. However, the operation of this loop presents a variety of challenges. These challenges range from ensuring that feedback data is of sufficient quality over providing different stakeholders with the information they need to the enormous effort to manage the reports. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for treating findings from security activity reports as belief in a Knowledge Base (KB). By utilizing continuous logical inferences, we derive information necessary for practitioners and address existing challenges in the industry. This approach is currently evaluated in industrial DevOps projects, using data from continuous security testing.

Limitations in the Ideological Analysis of Dewey's Logic
Creators: name: Miranda, Wilma
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: In their ideological analysis of his method of inquiry, revisionist historians have charged that John Dewey's work served as an apology for a class based industrial order. In short the claim is that Dewey's method failed to achieve critical independence from the political/economic order it sought to interpret. The strength of this claim against Dewey can only be determined by specific, piecemeal, and careful consideration of the logical features of his work. This article identifies ambiguities in Dewey's use of the concept 'communication' and shows how these prevented him from developing a clearer analysis of the relationship of profound conflicts of interest to the operation of methods of inquiry.
