The Network-Extended Mind
No full textWhereas the traditional view in cognitive science has been to view mind and cognition as something that is the result of essentially inner, neural processes, the extended cognition perspective claims that at least some human mental states and processes stem from complex webs of causal influence involving extra-neural resources, most notably the resources of our social and technological environments. In this chapter, we explore the possibility that contemporary and near-future network systems are poised to extend and perhaps transform our human cognitive potential. We also examine the extent to which the information and network sciences are relevant to our understanding of various forms of cognitive extension, particularly with respect to the formation, maintenance and functioning of extended cognitive systems in network-enabled environments. Our claim is that the information and network sciences are relevant on two counts: firstly, they support an understanding of the mechanisms underpinning socially- and technologically-mediated forms of cognitive extension; secondly, they serve to guide and inform engineering efforts that strive to enhance and expand our cognitive capabilities. We discuss the relevance and applicability of these conclusions to current and future research exploring the contribution of network technologies to military coalition operations
Towards spatial assessment of carbon sequestration in peatlands: spectroscopy based estimation of fractional cover of three plant functional types
No full textPeatlands accumulated large carbon (C) stocks as peat in historical times. Currently however, many peatlands are on the verge of becoming sources with their C sequestration function becoming sensitive to environmental changes such as increases in temperature, decreasing water table and enhanced nitrogen deposition. Long term changes in vegetation composition are both, a consequence and indicator of future changes in C sequestration. Spatial continuous accurate assessment of the vegetation composition is a current challenge in keeping a close watch on peatland vegetation changes. In this study we quantified the fractional cover of three major plant functional types (PFTs; Sphagnum mosses, graminoids, and ericoid shrubs) in peatlands, using field spectroscopy reflectance measurements (400–2400 nm) on 25 plots differing in PFT cover. The data was validated using point intercept methodology on the same plots. Our results showed that the detection of open Sphagnum versus Sphagnum covered by vascular plants (shrubs and graminoids) is feasible with an R2 of 0.81. On the other hand, the partitioning of the vascular plant fraction into shrubs and graminoids revealed lower correlations of R2 of 0.54 and 0.57, respectively. This study was based on a dataset where the reflectance of all main PFTs and their pure components within the peatland was measured at local spatial scales. Spectrally measured species or plant community abundances can further be used to bridge scaling gaps up to canopy scale, ultimately allowing upscaling of the C balance of peatlands to the ecosystem level
Friedrich Wolf: Fabeln
No full textThere are 23 fables here, ranging from a few lines to five pages in length, each with a black-and-white design. The fables are understandable, regularly humorous, and often quite pointed. The tree asks the wind with what right the latter strips the former of his leaves. Then the wind asks the tree with what right the latter stands in the former's way (10). A city man with a knife meets a farmer with a loaf of bread. The former demands Give me a piece of bread and I'll lend you my knife, and you can cut a piece for yourself. Lend? You have to give me the knife! They argue till sundown and are still hungry. I will give you a piece of bread. Lend me your knife. No! Give me the whole loaf and you'll get the knife. That is what they do, and again one has the bread and one has the knife (13-14). A fox, a wolf, and a badger once fell into a trap-hole. They got out and started to argue about whether they should fill the hole to save their comrades. Badger and wolf fought; the fox tried to break them up and was bitten for his trouble. Hunters came and tied all three up together (32-34). A missionary pleads for help from his homeland for his starving flock. Folks at home send flour and bibles, but his superiors insist that the bibles arrive first. The flock cannot read them. When the flour arrives, many thousands need neither the bibles nor the flour (45). The cartoon-like illustrations are helpful. Best of all may be the delightful cover illustration: How similar is this long-nosed man to a stork! T of C at the back.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: GermanFriedrich Wol
How chronic pain changes a person’s life story in relation to participation in occupational roles : a narrative exploration
No full textBackground: Chronic pain (CP) affects a large part of the population worldwide, decreasing physical and mental health and causing a shift in occupational roles. This has created a need for a better understanding to address this problem.
Objectives: To explore possible changes in occupational roles and the participation levels within among people diagnosed with CP over time.
Material and methods: The study used a qualitative, narrative methodology. Five people with CP were included in the study. They participated in a single-life story interview coupled with timeline drawings. Data analysis was conducted using a narrative analysis.
Results: The results revealed that occupational roles and the participation therein changed over time. Employee was considered the most important role, whereby the participants tried to maintain this role by sacrificing other roles within their lives. Moreover, CMP forced a change in their occupational identity.
Conclusion: CP can disrupt a person’s life and demand a change in occupational roles and the participation levels within. This process was accompanied by possible changes in their occupational identity

No full textWe form a new data set of fields of sea level anomalies by combining gridded daily fields derived from altimeter data with coastal tide gauge data. Within approximately 50-80 km of the coast, the altimeter data are discarded and replaced by a linear interpolation between the tide gauge and remaining offshore altimeter data. A 20-year mean is subtracted from each time series (tide gauge or altimeter) before combining the data sets to form the merged sea level anomaly data set. Geostrophic velocity anomaly fields are formed from the surface heights. Daily mean fields are produced for the period 1 January 1993 - 31 December 2014. The primary validation compares geostrophic velocities calculated from the height fields and velocities measured at four moorings covering the north-south range of the new data set. The merged data set improves the alongshore (meridional) component of the currents, indicating an improvement in the data set
