Use of Geospatial Analyses for Semantic Reasoning
2010
International audience; This work focuses on the integration of the spatial analyses for semantic reasoning in order to compute new axioms of an existing OWL ontology. To make it concrete, we have defined Spatial Built-ins, an extension of existing Built-ins of the SWRL rule language. It permits to run deductive rules with the help of a translation rule engine. Thus, the Spatial SWRL rules are translated to standard SWRL rules. Once the spatial functions of the Spatial SWRL rules are computed with the help of a spatial database system, the resulting translated rules are computed with a reasoning engine such as Racer, Jess or Pellet.
La noción de prejuicio en la obra de Immanuel Kan
2014
The notion of prejudice occupies a not very visible place in the Kantian works. In fact it has been seldom treated in Kantian studies in German, English, French, Italian or Spanish. But it connects with relevant key notes of the Critique of Pure Reason (1781, 1787) as well as from the Critique of Practical Reason (1788) and the Critique of Judgement (1790). The aim of this paper consists in the analysis of the Kantian notion of prejudice, its systematic place and its sources (among these particularly the works of Georg Friedrich Meier and the thought of Christian Thomasius).
Intellectual ability in young adulthood as an antecedent of physical functioning in older age.
2016
Objectives: low cognitive ability is associated with subsequent functional disability. Whether this association extends across adult life has been little studied. The aim of this study was to examine the association between intellectual ability in young adulthood and physical functioning during a 10-year follow-up in older age.Methods: three hundred and sixty persons of the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study (HBCS) male members, born between 1934 and 1944 and residing in Finland in 1971, took part in The Finnish Defence Forces Basic Intellectual Ability Test during the first 2 weeks of their military service training between 1952 and 1972. Their physical functioning was assessed twice using the Sh…
La lungimiranza politica di Claudio fra storiografia antica e Ragion di stato dei moderni
2018
Il contributo si concentra sul racconto tacitiano del discorso tenuto da Claudio nel 48 d.C. a favore dell’ammissione in senato dei primores della Gallia Comata, esaminando le argomentazioni usate dallo storico per chiarire le reazioni suscitate dalla loro richiesta e la linea argomentativa adottata dall’imperatore per convincere i senatori ad accettarla. Oltre ad esprimere la consapevolezza dell’efficacia dei criteri usati dai romani per istituire un ordinamento imperiale a carattere sopranazionale, il passo mostra l’abilità di Tacito nel sottolineare la pregnanza politica dell’intervento di Claudio e nel renderlo un modello meritevole di sopravvivere ed essere menzionato molti secoli più …
Teaching and Learning of Algebra
2015
Topic Study Group 9 aimed to bring together researchers, developers and teachers who investigate and develop theoretical accounts of the teaching and learning of algebra. The group sought both empirically grounded contributions focussing on the learning and teaching of algebra in diverse classrooms settings, the evolution of algebraic reasoning from elementary through university schooling as well as theoretical contributions throwing light on the complexities involved in teaching and learning of algebra. Prospective contributors were requested to address one or more of the following themes: early algebra, use of ICT in algebra classrooms, proof and proving in algebra, problem solving, semio…

Positivism, Legal Validity, and the Separation of Law and Morals
2014
The essay discusses the import of the separability thesis both for legal positivism and for contemporary legal practice. First, the place of the separability thesis in legal positivism will be explored, distinguishing between “standard positivism” and “post-Hartian positivism.” Then I will consider various kinds of relations between law and morality that are worthy of jurisprudential interest, and explore, from a positivist point of view, what kind of relations between law and morality must be rejected, what kind of such relations should be taken into account, and what kind of such relations are indeed of no import at all. The upshot of this analysis consists in highlighting the distinction…
