Accurately determining intermediate and terminal plan states using bayesian goal recognition
No full textGoal Recognition concerns the problem of determining an agent's final goal, deduced from the plan they are currently executing (and subsequently being observed). The set of possible goals or plans to be considered are commonly stored in a library, which is then used to propose possible candidate goals for the agent's behaviour. Previously, we presented AUTOGRAPH - a system which removed the need for a goal or plan library, thus making any problem solvable without the need to construct such a structure. In this paper, we discuss IGRAPH, which improves upon its predecessor by utilising Bayesian inference to determine both terminal and intermediate goals/states which the agent being observed is likely to pass through

Is Social Media the Great Information Equalizer? Exploring Current Use of Social Media by World Federation of Occupational Therapists Member Organizations
No full textAbstract
Date Presented 3/30/2017
This study used a mixed-methods survey to explore World Federation of Occupational Therapists member organizations’ use of social media. It found that although social media tools are well utilized by many organizations, enhancement of technical skills and resources would be beneficial.

The Principled Case for Employing Private Military and Security Companies in Humanitarian Interventions and Peacekeeping
No full textThe possibility of using private military and security companies to bolster the capacity to undertake humanitarian intervention has been increasingly debated. The focus of such discussions has, however, largely been on practical issues and the contingent problems posed by private force. By contrast, this paper considers the principled case for privatising humanitarian intervention. It focuses on two central issues. First, is there a case for preferring these firms to other, state-based agents of humanitarian intervention? In particular, given a state’s duties to their own military personnel, should the use of private military and security contractors be preferred to regular soldiers for humanitarian intervention? Second, on the other hand, does outsourcing humanitarian intervention to private military and security companies pose some fundamental, deeper problems in this context, such as an abdication of a state’s duties?

Religious thought and experience in the prison camps
No full textThe development of religious thought has often been marked by discord and conflicts between religions (and/or individual religious thinkers) and the State, which at times led to the repression of individuals and or groups of people united by the same confession. The Russian case is fully in line with this unfortunate tradition: from Nikon’s schism to the repression against all religions under the Soviet regime, Russian religious thought has often developed in repressive conditions. However, the Russian case has one distinguishing feature, that is, the extensive use of prison camps by Russian and Soviet authorities from the nineteenth century onwards, which has had a direct effect on some religious thinkers. The social and historical-cultural peculiarities of both Tsarist camps and the Gulag have shaped some of those thinkers’ views (for instance, Dostoevsky’s intellectual path was deeply influenced by his experience in the camp). Drawing upon both primary and secondary sources, this chapter aims at showing how the experience of detention in a Russian/Soviet prison camp has influenced some Russian religious thinkers such as Dostoevsky, Florensky, and Karsavin. It will also point readers’ attention to some lesser-known contributions to religious thought by philosophers, poets, and writers

Solvent Induced Pseudopolymorphism in a Calixarene-Based Porous Host Framework
No full textThe self-assembly properties of the proximal p-tert-butylcalix[4]dihydroquinone compound have been studied to
investigate the role played by crystallization conditions in driving the formation of a previously reported cubic porous
framework. In chloroform and anhydrous ethyl acetate, the mutual inclusion of the tert-butyl groups is favored, leading to the cubic porous structure; otherwise, in the presence of a higher water amount, the OH groups provide H-bonds with bridging water molecules and a new triclinic crystal structure is obtained, in which the calixarene molecules include chloroform inside their cavities. By exposing a cubic/triclinic powder mixture to acetonitrile vapors, a new monoclinic chiral crystal structure is obtained by supramolecular assembly of calixarene, acetonitrile, and water molecules with the formation of single handed helices
Conditional independence in a clustered item test
No full textAlthough the assumption of local independence underlies
all latent trait theories in mental testing, it has
rarely been empirically examined. In this study of a
clustered item test (the Australian Scholastic Aptitude
Test), a loglinear modeling approach was used to examine
the conditional independence of items both
within and between clusters. In general, although relationships
between items were usually positive (as required
for theories involving monotone item trace
lines), conditional independence was not found. Departures
from independence were more marked in
items within clusters rather than between clusters, and
also among items based on mathematical rather than
verbal material. Another finding was the tendency for
departures from independence to increase with ability
(as measured by the score on other items).Bell, Richard C.; Pattison, Philippa E.; Withers, Graeme P.. (1988). Conditional independence in a clustered item test. Retrieved from the University Digital Conservancy, https://hdl.handle.net/11299/104141
