    Minibiotus continuus Pilato &Lisi, 2006 Terra typica: Mexico (Central America). Material examined: 15 specimens and one egg: Piedmont of Sierra Las Mitras (25°44′45.98′′N, 100°25′27.68′′W, ca. 700 m asl), Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Lichen (Nephroma sp.) on tree (Quercus virginiana), coll. Antonio Moreno - Talamantes, 8 November 2014. Five specimens and three eggs: 1 km E of La Peñita (25°20′50.79′′N, 100°22′01.21′′W, ca. 2250 m asl), Santiago, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Moss on soil, coll. Mario Alberto Garcia Aranda, 9 February 2015. Three specimens and five eggs: Cerro La Viga (25°20′23.43′′N, 100°22′06.42′′W, ca. 2645 m asl), 2 km E of La Peñita, Santiago, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Moss on soil, coll. Mario Alberto Garcia Aranda, 9 February 2015. Comments: Our specimens and eggs correspond well with the original description. Minibiotus continuus has been reported in several localities in Costa Rica and Mexico (Pilato & Lisi 2006; Kaczmarek et al. 2011, 2014; Meyer 2013), and probably has a wider Neotropical distribution. This is a new record for the State of Nuevo Leon.Published as part of Moreno, Antonio, Roszkowska, Milena, García, Mario Alberto, Flores, José Juan & Kaczmarek, Łukasz, 2019, Current knowledge on Mexican tardigrades with a description of Milnesium cassandrae sp. nov.

    No full text
    Chatbot is an artificial intelligent software which can simulate a conversation with a user in natural language via auditory or textual methods. Businesses are rapidly moving towards the need for chatbots. However chatbots raise many ethical concerns. To ensure that they behave ethically, their behavior should be guided by the codes of ethics and conduct of their company

    Orizzonti mantovani. Spunti e dinamiche paesaggistiche ne L'Illustrissimo di Alberto Cantoni

    No full text
    In the literary production of Alberto Cantoni, short story writer and novelist between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the novel L'Illustrissimo is highly important both because it is the last publication of the author, from Pomponesco, a small town a few kilometers south of Mantua, both because it summarizes in a single text the different nuances and different directions that his writing has taken over the course of his literary career, also due to a writing and processing time that embraces the entire span of years of his career itself. In the foreground, in addition to the numerous and brilliant characters, one of the protagonists is the Mantuan landscape which, not a simple background, becomes a true literary parameter which in different and significant ways affects the purposes and mechanisms of the novel

    Model with DLs + Solve with ASP: A case study from Concept Learning

    No full text
    Research in Machine Learning (ML) has traditionally focussed on designing effective algorithms for solving particular tasks. However, there is an increasing interest in providing the user with a means for specifying what the ML problem in hand actually is rather than letting him struggle to outline how the solution to that problem needs to be computed. This corresponds to a model+solver approach to ML, in which the user specifies the problem in a declarative modeling language and the system automatically transforms such models into a format that can be used by a solver to efficiently generate a solution. In this paper, we propose a model+solver approach to Concept Learning problems which combines the efficacy of Description Logics (DLs) in conceptual modeling with the efficiency of Answer Set Programming (ASP) solvers in dealing with constraint satisfaction problems. In particular, the approach consists of a declarative modeling language based on second-order DLs under Henkin semantics, and a mechanism for transforming second-order DL formulas into a format processable by ASP solvers

    The 34th edition of the Italian Convention of Computational Logic (CILC 2019), the annual meeting of GULP (Gruppo ricercatori e Utenti Logic Programming), was hosted by the University of Trieste from June 19th to June 21st, 2019. CILC was originally meant to be a forum for exchanging ideas and experiences between Italian researchers in the field of computational logic, however, in recent years, it has broadened its topics of interest also to a wide set of related areas spacing from verification of formal systems to knowledge representation. The technical program of CILC 2019 features 37 presentations of as many high-quality papers; 27 of them are included in these proceedings and the remaining ones appeared or were submitted to other conferences, workshops or journals. Each of the submitted papers was evaluated by three reviewers and, according to their judgments, was either accepted or rejected for the presentation and publication in the proceedings. The contributions address different topics related to computational logic, including verification and validation, temporal reasoning, description logics, formal methods in AI, knowledge representation, and constraint logic programming. The program was also enriched by an ambassador talk “DigForASP: A European Cooperation Network for Logic-based AI in Digital Forensics” by Stefania Costantini, Francesca Alessandra Lisi, and Raffaele Olivieri and 3 tutorials: – The SATisfiability problem and its impact Agostino Dovier, Università degli Studi di Udine – Multiagent Epistemic Planning Enrico Pontelli, New Mexico State University – Model checking: The interval way Angelo Montanari, Università degli Studi di Udine The following works were presented at CILC 2019, but are not included in this proceedings: – Epistemic Answer Set Programming: a new perspective Ezgi Iraz Su – Extending ALC with the power-set construct Laura Giordano and Alberto Policriti – Accountable Protocols in Abductive Logic Programming Marco Gavanelli, Marco Alberti, and Evelina Lamma – Model Completeness, Covers and Superposition (Abridged Version) Diego Calvanese, Silvio Ghilardi, Alessandro Gianola, Marco Montali, and Andrey Rivkin – Proving Properties of Sorting Programs: A Case Study in Horn Clause Verification Emanuele De Angelis, Fabio Fioravanti, Alberto Pettorossi, and Maurizio Proietti – An Ontology to Improve the First Aid Service Quality Lorenzo De Lauretis and Stefania Costantini – An ASP-based Approach for Optimizing DLV Evaluation Carlo Allocca, Francesco Calimeri, Roberta Costabile, Alessio Fiorentino, Nicola Leone, Marco Manna, Simona Perri, and Jessica Zangari – Large Scale DLV: Preliminary Results Nicola Leone, Carlo Allocca, Mario Alviano, Francesco Calimeri, Cristina Civili, Roberta Costabile, Bernardo Cuteri, Alessio Fiorentino, Davide Fusc`a, Stefano Germano, Giovanni Laboccetta, Marco Manna, Simona Perri, Kristian Reale, Francesco Ricca, Pierfrancesco Veltri, and Jessica Zangari – A Process Algebra for (Delimited) Persistent Stochastic Non-Interference Andrea Marin, Carla Piazza, and Sabina Rossi – Accountability, Responsibility, and Robustness in Agent Organizations Matteo Baldoni, Cristina Baroglio, and Roberto Micalizio We would like to thank all the people who have contributed to the success of CILC 2019: the authors, the invited speakers, the program committee, the reviewers, and the participants. Special thanks go to both the President and the former President of GULP, Stefania Costantini and Agostino Dovier, and to the secretary of GULP, Fabio Fioravanti, for their support in the organization of the event

    O duplo significado do sentir e do pensar nas obras de Alberto Caeiro e Descartes

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em LiteraturaA pretensão desta dissertação intitulada O duplo significado do sentir e do pensar nas obras de Alberto Caeiro e Descartes é investigar a relação entre o sentir e o puro pensar, usando como referência a poesia O Guardador de Rebanhos, de Alberto Caeiro, que apresenta de forma evidente o tema; e como este assunto é tratado nas Meditações Metafísicas de René Descartes, também de forma claramente visível. Podemos perceber em ambos os autores, uma diplopia, uma espécie de duplo olhar sobre a relação sentir e puro pensar. No primeiro capítulo vou falar sobre a tese do duplo olhar de Descartes, a respeito da relação sentir e puro pensar na leitura de Merleau-Ponty, salientando a visão de natureza. No segundo capítulo, parto da leitura das três primeiras Meditações Metafísicas para caracterizar a tensão que se pode verificar entre Descartes e Alberto Caeiro quando se referem ao puro pensar. O foco principal de Descartes, nas três primeiras Meditações, é o pensar puro, e neste ponto Alberto Caeiro critica o pensar puro. No terceiro capítulo, analisando as três últimas Meditações, percebe-se que há uma virada no pensamento de Descartes, no qual o autor inverte seu ponto de vista, aproximando-se da idéia de Alberto Caeiro. No quarto capítulo, mostrarei a leitura que outros autores fazem acerca do sentir e do pensar na obra de Alberto Caeiro, mostrando que assim como Descartes, este também ostenta uma diplopia, não do sentir, mas do pensar. The pretension of this work entitled O duplo significado do sentir e do pensar nas obras de Alberto Caeiro e Descartes is to investigate the relationship between the feeling and the pure thinking, using as reference the poetry O Guardador de Rebanhos, by Alberto Caeiro, that presents in an evident way this theme; and as this subject is treated in René Descartes' Metaphysical Meditations, also in a clearly visible way. It is possible to notice in both authors, the diplopy, a sort of double look about the relationship between feeling and pure thinking. The thesis about Descartes'double look regarding the relation of feeling and pure thinking, in Merleau-Ponty reading, pointing out the nature vision, will be treated in the first chapter. In the second chapter, I start from the reading of the first three Metaphysical Meditations to characterize the tension that can be verified between Descartes and Alberto Caeiro when they refer to the pure thinking. Descartes' main focus in the first three Meditations is pure thinking and, in this point, Alberto Caeiro criticizes pure thinking. In the third chapter, analyzing the last three Meditations, it is possible to notice that there is an alteration in Descartes' thought, in which the author inverts his point of view, approaching of Alberto Caeiro's idea. In the fourth chapter, I will show the reading that other authors do concerning feeling and thinking in Alberto Caeiro's work, showing that as well as Descartes, this also shows a diplopy, not of feeling, but of thinking
