Abstract:

Cette these a pour objectif de proposer une definition de la structure logique de l'abduction et, par consequent, de la nature reelle de la notion d'explication. Le document est divise en deux parties. Dans la premiere, l'abduction est presentee comme un meta-calcul, dependant du mecanisme d'inference de la logique sur laquelle elle est definie. La presentation de l'abduction obeit au schema classique qui lie l'abduction a la deduction. On procede a la definition des calculs des propositions, des predicats et modaux. Ceux-ci se fondent sur la methode des tableaux semantiques, et une version du

Abstract:

In the thesis, Fodor’s arguments against computationalism are defeated. His arguments appeal to syntactic constraints and intractability. We argue that arguments based on syntactic constraints are not satisfactory. We then argue that the argument via intractability is not satisfactory either. We also discuss various approaches to the problem of abduction in a computationalist setting. We argue that the social solution that human everyday cognitive activity is not isotropic and Quinean is correct. Secondly, we argue that the local solution is too preliminary a proposal. We give our obje

Abstract:

This thesis presents a model of Reflective Writing Analytics which brings together two distinct ways of knowing: the human world of individuals in society, and the machine world of computers and mathematics. The thesis presents a specialised mode of reasoning called Transepistemic Abduction which provides a way of justifying intuition and heuristic approaches to computational analysis of reflective writing.

Abstract:

Abstract argumentation frameworks are a widely used formalism in the field of artificial intelligence. They are used to represent conflicting information by means of a set of arguments and an attack relation. The main problem studied in the literature is their evaluation, i.e., the determination of the justified points of view on the status (accepted or not) of the arguments. The research in this thesis is motivated by the idea that this is not a static process, and that there are many real life examples in which external information plays a role. We address this issue from three points of vie

Treatment involved the training package, Children Need to Know: Personal Safety Training (Kraizer, 1981). Training effectiveness was assessed by an analog measure of self-protection, in which a confederate adult approached and verbally attempted to lure the child

The narrative focuses on the situation in the Outer Hebrides and northern Scotland.

Knowledge representation and inference are the backbone of artificial intelligence, and logic programming is one of the most widely used knowledge representation tools. Logic programming with deduction/induction/abduction as the reasoning technique is serving numerous fields of artificial intelligence. In dynamic domains where there are constant changes in knowledge, updating the knowledge base is crucial to keep it stable. This thesis investigates the issues in updating the knowledge base. Two types of logic program based updates are considered, simple fact based updates where the knowledge b

This thesis critically assesses the Hague Child Abduction Convention (“the Convention”).

Accordingly this thesis provides a critique of the Convention’s efficacy by examining the outcomes produced by its operation. It specifically considers outcomes for abducting primary-carer mothers and their children, post-return to Australia under the Convention. It

The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (1980) (‘The Abduction Convention’) is the international convention that creates a procedure to return children, who have been wrongfully removed or retained by a parent, to their country of habitual residence.

Abstract:

This dissertation explores postcolonial fiction that reflects the structural situation of a genocidal number of third-world women who are being trafficked for sexual purposes from postcolonial countries into the global north—invariably, gender, class and race play a crucial role in their exploitation. Above all, these women share a systemic disposability and invisibility, as the business relies on the victim’s illegality and criminality to generate maximum revenues.

Rather, it is a pliant, complex, and nuanced motif that allows writers the space to explore the difficult and contradictory position of women and attitudes to sexual relations.

However, this is very time consuming and does not completely represent the real shoulder performance. Therefore, this study was aimed to validate a new technique, the force range monitor (FRM).
