Russian terrain vague: The Soul-state in Architecture
No full textIn western modern cities there are these spots that still possesses objects of events that where once before. These objects are alienated objects within the modern city, they can take the observer to a place former to them. The topic of the terrain vague got my interest as the leftover of the industrial, within most industrial areas certain parts are redundant due to progression and have been left there to be taken over by nature. Terrain vague, a Term introduced in Anyplaces by Ignasi de Sola-Morales Rubio. (Davidson, 1995). Ignasi de Sola-Morales talks about these spaces as not being colonized by architecture. They are left over spaces or literary translated by its Latin words; vacant terrains. Is this western European term still viable within the context of a condition within the city of Yekaterinburg? What is the Russian terrain vague? How can the understanding of the Russian culture help to redefine the term in a way that it applies to cities where more places have the nature of the vacant place than the one of colonized architecture? Morales explained the terrain vague as a place to escape the city. Can the terrain vague be a place to escape the pressure of the city in a mental space, a space of seclusion? The state of the city resembles the nature of the Russians, an melancholic almost depressing state. But where does this come from and how can this search for the Russian emotion help to better define the Russian terrain vague? Looking at linguistics, the Russian emotion comes much more from the soul. Russian see the emotion much more as a state of the soul someone is in. Can this metal terrain vague express the soul state of the Russians? This depressing nature of the Russian leads to another understanding of the term terrain vague. It is much more within Russian context about a place which can take you away from a bad place. This turns around its premise of something that was un-colonised by capitalism towards a place where there are these archipelagos of freedom from the depression. Which then within Russian context are these capitalist non-places, creating a paradox which result back to the terrain vague that was mentioned by Ignasi de Sola-Morales?Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Borders and Territorie
Vague terms in the Polish personal income tax regulations
No full textThe author discusses the selected problems related to the vague terms and general clauses in the personal income tax laws in Poland, with particular attention given to the term of subject of taxation. The author overviews the requirements for the use of vague terms and explains the rationale behind it, which is, inter alia, the need for greater flexibility of interpretation. The author claims that the legislators do not always properly use vague terms in the tax law, and their complexity and overload can lead to dilemmas. Some recommendations on the proper use of such terms in personal income tax legislation are given
On the Problem of Vague Terms: A Glossary of Clearly Stated Assumptions & Careful, Patient, Descriptions
No full textCoase 1930 endures through the decades as one of the most-cited papers in economics due to the fact that it highlights a fundamental and equally enduring problem: "Economic theory has suffered in the past from a failure to state clearly its assumptions. Economists in building up a theory have often omitted to examine the foundations on which it was erected. This examination is, however, essential not only to prevent the misunderstanding and needless controversy which arise from a lack of knowledge of the assumptions on which a theory is based, but also because of the extreme importance for economics of good judgement in choosing between rival sets of assumptions." In 1944 Von Neumann and Morgenstern offered the simply, yet invariably rejected solution: "In… economics the most fruitful work may be that of careful, patient description; indeed this may be by far the largest domain for the present and some time to come….Economic problems [have been and are often] not formulated clearly and are often stated in such vague terms as to make mathematical treatment a priori appear hopeless because it is quite uncertain what the problems really are. There is no point in using exact methods where there is no clarity in the concepts and issues to which they are to be applied. Consequently the initial task is to clarify the knowledge of the matter by further careful descriptive work." This paper offers a stone along the path to the solution to this problem by offering a glossary in this spirit, a glossary germain to some of the most fundamental, open problems in economics. As the fate of the human race may lay in the balance to finding solutions to these problems, this glossary may be a steop in the right direction.economic terms; methodology; scientific method; coase 1930; Von Neumann & Morgenstern 1944; definitions; careful, patient descriptions

Synchromodal transport planning considering heterogeneous and vague preferences of shippers
No full textIn synchromodal transport, a freight forwarder usually serves multiple shippers with heterogeneous and vague preferences, such as low-cost, fast, or reliable transport. Ignoring shippers’ preferences will negatively impact the satisfaction of shippers and lead to the loss of them in the longer run. In order to incorporate these preferences, a Synchromodal Transport Planning Problem with Heterogeneous and Vague Preferences (STPP-HVP) is proposed and formulated as a mathematical model. Heterogeneous and Vague Preferences (HVP) are modeled through Multiple Attribute Decision Making approaches that integrate fuzzy set theory. The proposed model has two objectives, i.e., maximizing the number of served requests and minimizing the transportation cost. Preferences of shippers are set as constraints such that the freight forwarder needs to satisfy the preferred levels for each attribute. A heuristic algorithm (Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search) is proposed to find (near) optimal solutions. The case study in the European Rhine–Alpine corridor demonstrates that the proposed model can provide more attractive solutions to shippers compared with optimization which ignores preferences. Under various scenarios, the attributes, such as cost, time, emissions, reliability, and risk of damage, are analyzed and the (near) optimal modes and routes are suggested according to HVP. Moreover, the results show that the conflicts among attributes, conflicts among shippers, and conflicts between the freight forwarder and shippers are resolved by making one actor more satisfied without compromising any other actor's preferences.Transport Engineering and Logistic
