A speech understanding and dialog system with a homogeneous linguistic knowledge base
No full textMast M, Kummert F, Ehrlich U, et al. A speech understanding and dialog system with a homogeneous linguistic knowledge base. IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence. 1994;16(2):179-194.This article presents the speech understanding and dialog system EVAR. All levels of linguistic knowledge are used both to control the analysis process and for the interpretation of an utterance. All kinds of knowledge are integrated in a homogeneous knowledge base. The control algorithm used for the analysis is defined within the representation scheme and does not depend on the application. One of the aims of EVAR is to develop a system structure where linguistic and non-linguistic expectations could be used not only for the interpretation but also as predictions for the recognition process
Üllas Ehrlich – 60 (9.12.1963)
No full textCo-organiser and long-term active participant of our conferences (since 2010), author,peer reviewer and editor of the journal Estonian Discussions on Economic Policy,professor of the Tallinn University of Technology (TUT) Dr Üllas Ehrlich – 60 years(09.12.2023).Üllas Ehrlich was Estonia's first and until now the only professor of environmentaleconomics in 2009 until the chair and professorship were abolished in 2020. He was oneof the first to lay the foundation for financial evaluation of non-market ecosystemservices in Estonia.In addition, his lesser-known field of activity is cost-benefit analyses of largeinfrastructure objects. For example, the section of the Kukruse-Jõhvi four-lane road, thereconstructed exit of the Tallinn-Tartu road and the connection road to the deep harborin Saaremaa are based on his profitability calculations.We wish our productive and hard-working colleague good health, success and happinessin his future activities
Secteur privé ou secteur de l'économie individuelle
No full textPrivate or Individual Economie Sector.
Here the problem is treated of how to organize services to the population which depend on different economic sectors (state, cooperative or private). The author considers that the unpopular connotation given to the "private" sector is no longer valid. .
-The individual economic sector in Poland occupies millions of peasants, some 379,000 artisans and a number, difficult to evaluate, of fruit growers, chauffeurs, shop and restaurant keepers, etc. Ehrlich considers it unjustified to maintain this sector in a marginal economic position on the grounds that it constitutes private ownership of the means of production.
The author deplores the replacement of small industry, particularly in the field of services, by gigantic firms which are out of touch with consumer demand, needs, etc. He recommends development of the cooperative and individual sectors, the decentralization of economic decisions of local character and the extension of state allocations of certain goods and services (raw materials, credit, information on technical progress, etc.) which would permit the integration of the individual sector in socialist economy.L'auteur soulève le problème des services à la population organisés dans le cadre d'unités appartenant aux différents secteurs de l'économie: étatique, coopératif et « privé ». Ce dernier terme a longtemps conservé une connotation péjorative qui, pour l'auteur, n'est plus fondée à l'heure actuelle.
Le secteur de l'économie individuelle occupe une place importante en Pologne puisqu'il regroupe des millions de paysans, quelque 370 000 artisans et un nombre difficile à évaluer d'arboriculteurs, de chauffeurs, de commerçants, de restaurateurs, etc. Pour Ehrlich, il devient absolument injustifié de maintenir ce secteur en marge de l'économie socialiste en fonction du seul critère de la propriété des moyens de production.
L'auteur défend la petite industrie dont l'abandon au profit des entreprises géantes a été néfaste, notamment dans le domaine des services (éloignement du consommateur, mauvaise estimation de ses besoins, etc.). Il recommande une stabilisation et un développement des secteurs coopératif et individuel ainsi qu'une décentralisation des décisions économiques justifiée par le caractère local de la petite production et des services. Il prône également une extension des différentes formes d'aide de l'Etat (matériaux, crédits, information sur les progrès techniques en ce domaine, etc.) de manière à permettre un développement du secteur individuel, intégré dans l'ensemble de l'économie socialiste. , -,Ehrlich S.

Understanding the significance of the social determinants of health on the outcome of complicated surgical neonates at Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital
No full textIncludes bibliographical references.The United Nations Millennium Declaration conference held in September of 2000, set key Millennium Development Goals. Millennium Development Goal 4 requires a reduction in the mortality rate of children under the age of five years by two-thirds by the year 2015, from a baseline in 1990. In South Africa, it has been recognised that without a substantial reduction in neonatal deaths, MDG-4 will not be met. This study will focus on the social determinants of health which play a key role in neonatal outcome in South Africa. It will evaluate the effects of these social determinants of health (Primary caregiver's education level, Primary caregiver's age, and Living Standards Measure) on the outcome of neonates admitted to, and operated on, in the general surgery unit of Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital (RCWMCH), within the Western Cape, South Africa. This study is based on the hypothesis that there is an association between Neonatal outcome, and a selection of social variables, namely: primary caregiver's level of education, primary caregiver' age, and LSM. The protocol (Part A) describes the sampling methodology that was used during the intervention. This will be followed by a literature review (Part B), Article (Part C), and Appendix (Part D)
The international relations as construed by Ludwik Ehrlich
No full textThe article aims to address the following questions: how did L. Ehrlich perceive the study of international relations, and, if he embraced a specific theory of international relations in his investigative approach, which theory actually was it? In line with the so-called contextual approach, developed within the framework of the studies on the history of ideas, assuming that respective academic investigators should effectively reflect in their research the times in which they actually live, the two hypotheses were put forward, i.e. (1) Ehrlich construed the International Relations as an interdisciplinary area of knowledge, and (2) followed the theories being developed in his own time, i.e. liberal internationalism and classical realism. The first part of the text focuses on Ehrlich’s biography in terms of how he actually related himself to the above-referenced area of knowledge. Then his concept of the International Relations is discussed. The Author adopted a case study research strategy, as well as applied the qualitative analysis method in approaching all textual material. The first part of the paper made use of available scientific studies, while the Ehrlich’s monograph entitled Introduction to the International Relations (1947) was mined for the second part. In the conclusions section the first hypothesis was upheld, as Prof. Ehrlich’s reflections on the interdisciplinary character of the International Relations are actually a part of the dominant perspective embraced in the interwar period. At the same time, the second hypothesis failed to be confirmed, as Ehrlich never in fact put forward a clear and coherent theory of international relations. Instead of following the dominant theoretical positions of his own time, his thought is found to incorporate the components of a diversity of concepts, including not only the two theories typical of that time but also the theory of international society. In view of the fact that some of those ideas appear to be a decade and more ahead of the times when Ehrlich drafted his own works, his entire research must be assessed in terms of the extent to which such innovative thinking was actually espoused by him at the time
Following Ehrlich nowadays
No full textДанный небольшой очерк представляет собой одну из попыток прокомментировать научное наследие Евгения Эрлиха, делая ударение на необходимости по-новому оценить и осмыслить его концепцию «живого права», которая заложила основание для развития современной социологии права. Очерк обращает внимание на интерпретацию содержания терминов «живое право», «нормы-
решения», «право юристов» и др., которые являются центральными в работах Эрлиха. Подчёркивается особое значение, которое Эрлих придавал индивидуальному и общественному ощущению права
и справедливости, призывая рассматривать норму права как факт.This brief essay is one of the attempts to comment on the scientific heritage of Eugen Ehrlich by emphasizing the necessity of appraising and comprehending anew his concept of the “living law” that provided a foundation for the modern sociology of law. The essay pays attention to interpreting the meaning of the “living law”, the “norms for decision”, the “law of jurists” etc., which make the core of Ehrlich’s works. The author underlines a particular importance of Ehrlich’s consideration of the individual and social feeling of law and justice, his call to consider legal norm as fact
Investigating the anti-tumoral effect of yarrow (Achillea milllefolium) on the mice in which ehrlich solid tumor is created
No full text© 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.In this study, BALB/c mice with Ehrlich solid tumors were used to examine the effect of Achillea millefolium L. (AM) extract on the Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) model, which is one of the experimental cancer models. Also known as yarrow and plant, AM has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antitumor properties. In our study, 57 male BALB/c type mice, 8–10 weeks old, weighing 25–30 g, were used. Mice were divided into two groups. Ehrlich Solid Tumor group: Negative Control Group (ENC), Positive Control Group (EPC), and Treatment Group (TG) (TNCAM-200 mg/kg, TPCAM-400 mg/kg). EPC and TG were given to EAT cells. Each EAT contained 1 × 106 (will be 6 out of 10: so:000000) EAT cells, 0.1 ml of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was administered subcutaneously (s.c.) to the nape of mice. Then It was awaited for solid tumor formation. AM extract was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) to TG for 17 days to mice. AM extract was found to have a curative effect on areas of inflammation, bleeding, and necrosis in treatment groups treated with AM extract alone. The treatment groups showed nearly normal histological results compared to the positive control group. According to the results, the TPCAM-400 mg/kg group had a more significant histological impact than the TNCAM-200 mg/kg group. In terms of tumor growth, tumor length, tumor volume, and tumor weight, AM extract did not show significant effects. However, in the light of histological findings, promising results of AM were observed in mice in which Ehrlich Solid Tumor was formed
