Abstract:

Though the exact nature and delineation of Big Data is still unclear, it seems likely that Big Data will have an enormous impact on our daily lives. Exploring the Bounderies of Big Data serves as preparatory work for The Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy's advice to the Dutch government, which has asked the Council to address questions regarding Big Data, security and privacy. It is divided into five parts, each part engaging with a different perspective on Big Data: the technical, empirical, legal, regulatory and international perspective.

Abstract:

Focusing on the history of scientific and technological development over recent centuries, the book is dedicated to the history of telecommunications, where Italy has always been in the vanguard, and is presented by many of the protagonists of the last half century. The book is divided into five sections. The first, dealing with the origins, starts from the scientific bases of the evolution of telecommunications in the nineteenth century (Bucci), addressing the developments of scientific thought that led to the revolution of the theory of fields (Morando), analysing the birth of the three fund

Abstract:

Traditional Chinese poetics grew out of hermeneutic tendencies associated with the Shijing, as commentators linked the poems to specific personal responses to historical events. This led to the valorization of self-expression and the obligation to “read” the author behind the text. While this remained a basic assumption, how it was interpreted and applied changed over time. In the pre-Tang era, the growth of court culture and the development of self-conscious literary history produced a series of important texts that addressed the interactions of literary texts with the polity; the evolution o

Abstract:

Berkeley’s rejection of meanings (intrinsically representational entities) requires a complete rethinking of the philosophy of mind and language. This chapter addresses Berkeley’s remarks on these subjects from the 1708 Manuscript Introduction to the 1721 essay De Motu. In these works, Berkeley analyzes several specific uses of language, including general words, operative language, and the technical discourses of math and science. In each case, Berkeley’s analysis proceeds by identifying the practical purposes at which the discourse aims and the conventional rules speakers follow in their use

Abstract:

This chapter reviews some relevant technical material in three stages. Section one outlines Frege’s conception of (ideal) thoughts and their components, some difficulties for this conception, and a familiar hierarchy of types—starting with <e> and <t>, corresponding to entities and truth values—that is often presupposed in discussions of linguistic meaning. Section two reviews the essential aspects of a typologically spare Tarskian semantics for a possible language of thought whose expressions are all sentential. Section three shows how such a mental language could be extended in a

Abstract:

A model for the timber trade in the Roman Empire must distinguish between fuel wood (often in the form of charcoal) and timber used for building and making things. It must also cohere with whatever idea we form about Roman-era deforestation. The high level of demand for fuel wood is clear from the high levels of iron, silver, lead, copper and glass production reached in the Roman world, especially from the first to third centuries AD. These resources were renewable, but only because of rising levels of technical knowledge, woodland management and commercial complexity. As for timber, demand fo

Abstract:

The paramount goal of musical study is to become more than a mere player of the instrument. Music is a language, and those with small hands struggle every day with central aspects of thinking and speaking in sound—how to forge a legato line from widely separated notes, how to deliver a powerful yet sonorous tone, how to voice textures spanning wide reaches of the keyboard. Small-handed pianists must thus be keenly aware of what they want to express and consider the means by which they can best communicate their thoughts, emotions, and ideas in sound.

Abstract:

The term ‘Gettier case’ is a technical term frequently applied to a wide array of thought experiments in contemporary epistemology. What do these cases have in common? It is said that they all involve a justified true belief which, intuitively, is not knowledge, due to a form of luck called ‘gettiering.’ While this very broad characterization suffices for some purposes, it masks radical diversity. We argue that the extent of this diversity merits abandoning the notion of a ‘Gettier case’ in favor of more finely grained terminology. We propose such terminology, and use it to effectively sort th

Abstract:

The problem of interdisciplinary frontiers comes out in the parallel stories of sociology and the study of language. This chapter considers these interwoven stories in relation to four major paradigms: social evolutionism, biologically inspired organic functionalism, the technical-system approach, and a social constructivism that places emphasis on individual and collective responsibility for outcomes. To look more closely at this question in relation to sociology and the study of language, it begins with the “certainties” of nineteenth-century social evolutionism and with the profound effects

Those who obtained but a dim manifestation of the god, experienced only the secondary and tertiary powers of the deity, while those who encountered the god fully and clearly, were thought to participated in its creative activities.

They are all struggling with immanent and virtual problems in the sense used by Gilles Deleuze. This means rejecting understandings of anthropology a

Abstract:

This chapter shows that Isaac derives his conceptual framework for the concept of ecstasy, along with the technical terms wonder and astonishment, from sources that were originally written in Syriac. In particular, both Ephrem and John the Solitary situate wonder and astonishment within the framework of the future world, which means that Isaac’s desire to frame wonder and astonishment in terms of the mind’s ability to wander into heaven and acquire knowledge of the future world demonstrates his dependence on a trajectory of thought that arises from these two authors.

Although less fully commented on than other themes in his theology, Augustine’s understanding of Christ is central to his whole thought. Augustine insists on the completeness of both the divinity and the humanity of Christ, and suggests that the point of their contact is his human soul. Around 412, his use of the term persona with reference to the unity of Christ took on a more technical coloring, and he later occasionally anticipates the language of Leo and Chalcedon—notably in his contributions to the Christological profession of the monk Leporius.

One view of ontology has dominated Western philosophy since the Greeks: the most basic furnishings of the world are things or, in more technical philosophical terms, substances. These are thought of as integrated, persisting through time, not dependent on anything external for their existence, and as the bearers of properties. They are also the subjects of change. This chapter begins with the proposal that we should treat organisms not, as is traditional, as a kind of thing or substance, but as a kind of process.

This chapter uses responses to Mass Observation’s 1990 directive on ‘social divisions’ to examine what the Mass Observers thought about class. It concludes that earlier accounts have overstated these (largely middle-class) writers’ comfortableness with technical, sociological class language. Rather, many were hostile to or ambivalent about using such terms, and drew on popular culture, especially humour, when talking about class. A rejection of ‘class’ and snobbishness, and an emphasis on ordinariness and authenticity, were again central to many Mass Observers’ writings about class. In their t

It transpires that political judgment for attribution is neither good nor bad; it is fallible but inescapable. Attribution is a process that constantly evolves and is never perfect, due to

However, there is nothing like it in the international realm, and even less so in the context of arbitration. Nonetheless, it is possible to imagine the development of an international ‘law on investment protection’ by something akin to the common-law process of developing authori

Abstract:

The second edition of Operative Plastic Surgery is a fully updated, comprehensive text that discusses the most common plastic surgery procedures in great detail. It covers the classic techniques in plastic surgery, as well as the most recent technical advances while maintaining a systematic approach to patient care within each chapter. Traversing the entirety of the human body, each chapter addresses assessment of defects, preoperative factors, pathology, trauma, operative indications and procedures, and more. Also covered is the operative room setup, with special consideration given to the op

Abstract:

This is a mainly technical chapter concerning the causal embodiment of the Axiom of Choice from set theory. The Axiom of Choice powered a construction of an infinite fair lottery in Chapter 4 and a die-rolling strategy in Chapter 5. For those applications to work, there has to be a causally implementable (though perhaps not compatible with our laws of nature) way to implement the Axiom of Choice—and, for our purposes, it is ideal if that involves infinite causal histories, so the causal finitist can reject it. Such a construction is offered. Moreover, other paradoxes involving the Axiom of Cho

Abstract:

This chapter chronicles Wolff's compositional period from his entry into Harvard in 1951 to his inadvertent entry into military service in 1959. During this time, all but one of Wolff's surviving compositions were piano pieces—seven works in which he moved from Cageian gamuts and prepared piano to utterly new configurations of musical materials and composer–performer relationships, though still generally within Cageian overall forms. To write for piano—Wolff's own instrument—fostered innovation and evolution, since it relieved him of the need to manipulate instrumental timbres. At the same tim

Abstract:

African scholarly research is relatively invisible globally because even though research production on the continent is growing in absolute terms, it is falling in comparative terms. In addition, traditional metrics of visibility, such as the Impact Factor, fail to make legible all African scholarly production. Many African universities also do not take a strategic approach to scholarly communication to broaden the reach of their scholars'work. To address this challenge, the Scholarly Communication in Africa Programme (SCAP) was established to help raise the visibility of African scholarship b
