Elena Pulcini, La cura del mondo. Paura e responsabilità in età globale.
No full textElena Pulcini offre in questo libro una Zeitdiagnose delle due patologie che caratterizzano l’età globale: l’ “individualismo illimitato”, che coinvolge la struttura antropologica dell’individuo, e il “comunitarismo endogamico”, che interessa le forme di costituzione del legame sociale.
Una diagnosi accurata di tali derive patologiche della globalizzazione indica nella sfera emotiva una profonda scissione tra l’assenza e l’eccesso di pathos: questa è la premessa dell’intera indagine filosofico-sociale condotta dall’autrice, che si propone di affrontare il problema in termini normativi. Si presentano a tal fine i lineamenti di un “normativismo eretico”, che ponga in primo piano le motivazioni dell’agire emancipativo prestando una particolare attenzione alle funzioni cognitive e comunicative delle passioni
Bayesian estimation and prediction for the transformed Wiener degradation process
No full textThis paper proposes some Bayesian inferential procedures for the transformed Wiener (TW) process, a new degradation process that has been recently suggested in the literature to describe degradation phenomena where degradation increments are not necessarily positive and depend stochastically on the current degradation level. These procedures have been expressly conceived to allow one incorporating into the inferential process the type of prior information, on meaningful physical characteristics of the observed degradation process, that is generally available in practical settings. Several different prior distributions are proposed, each of them reflecting a specific degree of knowledge on the observed phenomenon. Simple strategies for eliciting the prior hyper‐parameters from the available prior information are provided. Estimates of the TW process parameters and some functions thereof are retrieved by adopting a Monte Carlo Markov Chain technique. Procedures that allow predicting the degradation increment, the useful life of a new unit, and the remaining useful life of a used unit are also provided. Finally, an application is developed on the basis of a set of real degradation measurements of some infrared light‐emitting diodes, widely used in communication systems. The obtained results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed Bayesian approach and the flexibility of the TW process

Anthropogenic food patches and association patterns of Tursiops truncatus at Lampedusa island, Italy
No full textAnthropogenic food patches in the marine environment, such as aquaculture farms and active trawlers, may impact on the behavior of marine mammals through modification of habitats, changes in predation pressure, or alterations in food distribution, availability, and predictability, affecting related social interactions and population demographics. This study examined patterns of association of a population of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) around Lampedusa Island (Italy) during 1996–2006 and tested the hypothesis that the trawl fishery and the presence of an aquaculture farm could affect such patterns. Here, we used measures of association between pairs of individuals to assess this impact on social unit composition/cohesion and some analytical techniques to describe the structure of dolphin social networks and temporal stability of associations. Association information for 71 regularly sighted individuals was obtained from photo-identification surveys within groups observed or not at "feeding stations." We found association patterns between dolphins were nonrandom. The Lampedusa population seems to be arranged into 6 clusters and organized in communities composed of animals that were either never seen in association with feeding stations (N individuals) or those that are (Y individuals), although mixed assemblages were also recorded. Both communities showed long-term preferred companions, with different degrees of social cohesion—as resulted by network measures and temporal analysis. Delineating community structure at Lampedusa Island has offered basic information for further investigations in the area, also providing novel evidences on how disparities in association patterns between bottlenose dolphin individuals may have resulted from a combination of ecological and anthropogenic factors

What’s so Special About the Gödel Sentence?
No full textThe very fact that the Gödel sentence is independent of Peano Arithmetic fuels controversy over our access to the truth of . In particular, does the truth of (of the form ) precede the truth of its numerical instances , , , as the so-called standard argument induces one to believe? This paper offers a shift in perspective on this old problem. We start by reassessing Michael Dummett’s 1963 argument which seems to speak in favour of the priority of the truth of the numerical instances of over the truth of itself. In opposition to some recent criticisms of Dummett’s argument, we argue that the latter is not reducible to the standard one. We then point out its prototypical nature in the sense individuated by Jacques Herbrand. This shift in perspective brings us to the claim that the controversy over the priority between and its numerical instances endures only because the problem is ultimately ill-posed. An encompassing moral about the epistemological mechanism of prototype proofs is also drawn
