Ethics and intelligent systems
Full text linkThe article addresses the problem of possible rights for superintelligent systems by using a distinction between moral dimension and rational dimension in human beings and proposing to
endow artificial systems only with rational dimension.Duquesne University, Pittsburg, PA15282Allen, Colin, Wallach, Wendell, Moral machines: contradiction in terms or abdication of human responsibility?, in: Robot ethics: the ethical and social implications of robotics, Lin P., Abney K., Bekey G.

Conyers Place i problem wiarygodności rozumu (ang.)
No full textConyers Place was an eighteenth-century Anglican author who adamantly defended the priority of revelation in theological matters. To that end, he argued at length how unreliable human reason is and thus how inadmissible is natural theology; however, through his work he indicated that reason can be used quite effectively in the service of theology when its arguments are based on revelation, which he showed in his sometimes sophisticated, imaginative, if not infrequently controversial discussion of the problem of space, light, and panpsychism.Conyers Place był osiemnastowiecznym autorem anglikańskim, który gorąco bronił pierwszeństwa objawienia w kwestiach teologicznych. W tym celu obszernie argumentował, jak zawodny jest ludzki rozum, a tym samym jak niedopuszczalna jest teologia naturalna; jednakże poprzez swoje prace wskazał, że rozum może być dość skutecznie wykorzystany w służbie teologii, gdy jej argumentacja opiera się na objawieniu, co pokazał w swojej niekiedy wyrafinowanej, twórczej, choć nierzadko kontrowersyjnej dyskusji problemu przestrzeni, światła i panpsychizmu
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Object-Oriented Programming and Representation of Objects
No full textIn this paper, a lesson is drawn from the way class definitions are provided in object-oriented programming. The distinction is introduced between the visible structure given in a class definition and the hidden structure, and then possible connections are indicated between these two structures and the structure of an entity modeled by the class definition
The five Biblical compendia of Johann Jacob Schmidt
No full textJohann Jacob Schmidt, pastor na Pomorzu w XVIII wieku, był autorem pięciu kompendiów biblijnych, które miały służyć jako pomoc w studium Biblii. Skupiając się na Ziemi Świętej, Schmidt przedstawił w tych kompendiach szczegółowy opis geografii, historii, zwyczajów i wiedzy przyrodniczej, w tym astronomii i medycyny w czasach biblijnych, aby pokazać prawdziwość Biblii i jej żywotne znaczenie dla każdego czytelnika, szczególnie w sprawach duchowych.Johann Jacob Schmidt, a pastor in eighteenth century Pomerania, was an author of five Biblical compendia intended as a help for a detailed study of the Bible. With the focus of the Holy Land, Schmidt provided in these compendia detailed description of the geography, history, customs, and natural knowledge including astronomy and medicine of Biblical times to show the veracity of the Bible and its relevance to any reader of any time, particularly in spiritual matters.Johann Jacob Schmidt, im 18. Jahrhundert Pfarrer in Pommern, war der Autor von fünf biblischen Kompendien, die als Hilfestellung beim Bibelstudium dienen sollten. Mit dem Fokus auf das Heilige Land lieferte Schmidt in diesen Kompendien eine detaillierte Darstellung der Geographie, Geschichte, Bräuche und Naturwissenschaften, einschließlich Astronomie und Medizin in biblischer Zeit, um jedem Leser, insbesondere in spirituellen, die Wahrhaftigkeit der Bibel und ihre lebenswichtige Bedeutung zu zeigen Angelegenheiten
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
