Cut-elimination, substitution and normalisation
No full textDate of Acceptance: 01/2015We present a proof (of the main parts of which there is a formal version, checked with the Isabelle proof assistant) that, for a G3-style calculus covering all of intuitionistic zero-order logic, with an associated term calculus, and with a particular strongly normalising and confluent system of cut-reduction rules, every reduction step has, as its natural deduction translation, a sequence of zero or more reduction steps (detour reductions, permutation reductions or simplifications). This complements and (we believe) clarifies earlier work by (e.g.) Zucker and Pottinger on a question raised in 1971 by Kreisel.Peer reviewe
I remember teaching English at Seabrook
No full textIn this "I remember" memoir, Isabell Waugh, a former teacher at Seabrook, compares and constrasts the different groups of students she taught. She remembers that native-born American teenagers tended to be more concerned with athletics and social activities, than academic matters. In comparison, Estonian and Japanese parents did not tolerate low academic performance, so students from the two groups often competed intensely with each other for academic achievement and recognition. Isabelle recalls that the Estonians were, in general, more sophisticated and better educated. Most of the children knew 3-5 languages, and were more advanced in math and science. She sensed that some Estonian parents felt that their homes at Seabrook were temporary, and that they would be returning to Estonia at some point. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center has been soliciting current and past residents of Seabrook Farms for an "I remember" project. Residents are asked to create narratives regarding their experiences at Seabrook Farms. These memories help preserve the history and multi-cultural heritage of Seabrook Farms
Isabelle Bell to Susan Niemcewicz, December 23, 1800
No full textIsabelle Bell wrote to Susan U. Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Bell expressed her disappointment in not receiving a line from Susan. She sent Bell Lucretia Rephans subscription epistle, but Susan refrained from writing a letter to her. Bell did not execute any of Susan’s commissions in New York because her time there was short. Miss Resham heard that Mr. B Livingston told his sister, Mrs. J. Livingston that he would offer Bell a salary to live in his house and take charge of his children’s education. Asked if Susan what she thought of her being an author and if Susan would subscribe to a small volume that may have the good fortune to rival the poems of the immortal Scarron.https://digitalcommons.kean.edu/lhc_1800s/1143/thumbnail.jp

Formalization of Isabelle Meta Logic in NuPRL
No full textNuPRL and Isabelle are two general purpose theorem provers. Both of them are based on a version of Constructive Higher Order Type Theory. In an earlier work the author has proposed an informal semantics of Isabelle Meta Logic in an extension of NuPRL Type Theory. An automated converter, based on this semantics, has been developed, that translates Isabelle theorem statements into NuPRL. This work presents a formalization of the above semantics in NuPRL. It starts with a deep embedding of Isabelle type and term syntax into NuPRL Constructive Type Theory. Next, two internal NuPRL functions are defined. One of them maps Isabelle types into NuPRL types and the other maps Isabelle terms into elements of appropriate NuPRL types. These two functions provide an interpretation of Isabelle in NuPRL. Finally, interpretations of all Isabelle Meta Logic rules are proven as theorems in some classical extension of NuPRL Type Theory. This formalization is aimed to provide a more secure foundation for the interaction between two systems
Éditorial
No full textCe numéro de PISTES contient quatre articles. Deux d’entre eux portent sur la formation. D’abord, François Aubry et Isabelle Feillou nous présentent les limites d’une formation destinée aux préposés aux bénéficiaires œuvrant dans les organisations gériatriques au Québec. Faisant état des écarts entre l’activité réelle – particulièrement en matière de gestion des temporalités – et les prescriptions des formations, les auteurs suggèrent entre autres que le développement des formations du secteu..

No full textL’objectif de la thèse est, dans un contexte de vieillissement de la population, de contribuer aux connaissances portant sur la prise en compte des aînés et de leurs activités dans les projets d’aménagement urbain au Québec. Pour y répondre, une perspective interdisciplinaire a été bâtie sur des rapprochements entre deux disciplines tournées vers l’action, l’ergonomie et le design urbain. Un modèle d’analyse nommé PEACI (Personne-Environnement-Activité-Contexte-Intervention) a été développé de façon itérative à partir du cadre conceptuel et des résultats issus de la recherche. Ce travail a été mené au travers de l’étude d’un cas spécifique, le projet Vendôme, au stade de l’étude de faisabilité. Les données proviennent principalement d’observations, d’entrevues auprès de parties prenantes du projet et de participants périphériques au projet, de même que du recueil de documentation. Une analyse qualitative de ces matériaux a été réalisée en utilisant le modèle développé au cours de la thèse.
Quatre systèmes de représentation d’aînés distincts (« vulnérabilité », « fragilité », « lenteur », « répit ») émergent de l'analyse, dont l’un (« vulnérabilité ») est plus particulièrement véhiculé dans le projet Vendôme, projet dont la thèse offre une description détaillée. Les résultats montrent l’intérêt de l’utilisation du modèle PEACI pour identifier des enjeux liés au déploiement de la prise en compte du vieillissement dans les projets d’aménagement urbain. La discussion ouvre sur deux pistes de recherche autour de la traduction de la notion d’environnements capacitants pour les aînés en milieu urbain et de la conceptualisation de « situations de vie » des aînés. La conclusion rappelle les principaux défis reliés à l’intégration du vieillissement dans les projets d'aménagement urbain - notamment celui de l’intersectorialité - et l’inscription de la thèse dans une perspective interdisciplinaire tournée vers l’actionThe objective of the thesis is, in a context of population’s aging, to contribute to knowledge regarding how to take into account elder people and their activities in urban project in Quebec. To respond to this objective, an interdisciplinary perspective was built on links between two disciplines, ergonomics and urban design.
An analysis model, named PEACI (Person-Environment-Activities_Context_Intervention) was iteratively developed, based on the conceptual frame and results from the research. This work relies on the study of a specific case, the Vendôme project, very detailed in the thesis, at the feasibility phase. Data mainly come from observations, stakeholders and key informant interviews and documentation collection. A qualitative analysis of these materials was realized, using the model elaborated during the thesis.
Four distinct representation systems (“vulnerability”, “frailness”, “slowness”, “respite”) emerge from the analysis. One of them (“vulnerability”) is mainly conveyed by the Vendôme project. Results show the interest of using the PEACI model to identify issues related to the implementation of ageing preoccupation in urban projects.
The discussion opens two research avenues: the first one on the translation of the notion of enabling environments for elder people in urban settings and the second one on the conceptualization of “life situations” of elder people (as reference of “work situations”).
The conclusion reminds the main issues related to the integration of aging in urban projects- in particular the intersectorality- and the interdisciplinary and action-oriented scientific approach of the thesi
