Data from: Moving in the Anthropocene: global reductions in terrestrial mammalian movements
2019
Animal movement is fundamental for ecosystem functioning and species survival, yet the effects of the anthropogenic footprint on animal movements have not been estimated across species. Using a unique GPS-tracking database of 803 individuals across 57 species, we found that movements of mammals in areas with a comparatively high human footprint were on average one-half to one-third the extent of their movements in areas with a low human footprint. We attribute this reduction to behavioral changes of individual animals and to the exclusion of species with long-range movements from areas with higher human impact. Global loss of vagility alters a key ecological trait of animals that affects no…
Translation as alchemy: the aesthetics of multilingualism in film
2012
The aim of this paper is to explore the aesthetics of multilingualism in film. We start with a discussion of translation strategy in several films and continue with two case studies based on Azur et Asmar (2006) by Michel Ocelot, on the one hand, and Nostalghia (1983) and Offret (1986) by Andrei Tarkovsky, on the other. Our analysis does not involve a comparison between the original dialogues or monologues and their translations into one or several languages, but, rather, it focuses on the role of translation in film making, considering it independently from any pre-existing oral or written texts. This will lead us to a number of reflections about the possibility and the limits of communica…
Influence of Burnout and Feelings of Guilt on Depression and Health in Anesthesiologists
2020
Background and objective: The WHO has included burnout as an occupational phenomenon in the ICD-11. According to the WHO, burnout is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. The study aimed to evaluate the influence of feelings of guilt and burnout on health in Polish anesthesiologists. Alcohol and tobacco intake, psychosomatic disorders, and depression were assessed. Methods: The study had a non&ndash
»…vzpomínám na něho ustavičně a přeji mu, aby se mu tatínek brzo vrátil«. O (terapeutycznej) roli pamięci w korespondencji więziennej Jana Zahradníčka
2020
Przedmiotem analizy są listy czeskiego poety Jana Zahradníčka wysyłane z komunistycznego więzienia do żony Marii w latach 1951–1960. Wybór to zapis zarówno życiowej traumy wynikającej z długo letniej izolacji oraz tragedii rodzinnej (śmierć dwóch córek), a jednocześnie świadectwo tego, że dzięki terapeutycznej roli pamięci autor przetrwał ów trudny czas. Punktem wyjścia są m. in. rozważania Aleidy Assmann, które co prawda prymarnie odnosiły się do pamięci kolektywnej społeczeństw dotkniętych traumatyczną przeszłością, ale mogą być także użyteczne dla rozpatrywanego tutaj studium przypadku jednostki.
Poética de la espera. Una filosofía íntima (con fragmentos de Proust y Pizarnik)
2013
Resumen: Frente a una forma mas o menos publica, academica e impersonal de filosofar, este texto aspira a poner en practica una filosofia intima . A partir de algunos fragmentos de Proust y Pizarnik, el proposito de este texto es ofrecer una reflexion sobre una poetica de la espera . La espera es el tiempo de la duracion, del tedio y del aburrimiento, un tiempo a nuestro tiempo acelerado, medido y previsible. Se trata, sin duda, del tiempo de un aprender involuntario. Palabras clave : Poetica de la espera, filosofia del amor, aprendizaje involuntario, Marcel Proust, Alejandra Pizarnik. Abstract: Faced with a more or less public, academic and impersonal philosophy, this text aims to impleme…

TWO-DIMENSIONAL FINITE STATE RECOGNIZABILITY
1996
The purpose of this paper is to investigate about a new notion of finite state recognizability for two-dimensional (picture) languages. This notion takes as starting point the characterization of one-dimensional recognizable languages in terms of local languages and projections. Such notion can be extended in a natural way to the two-dimensional case. We first introduce a notion of local picture language and then we define,a recognizable picture language as a projection of a local picture language. The family of recognizable picture languages is denoted by REC. We study some combinatorial and language-theoretic properties of family REC. In particular we prove some closure properties with re…
Designed Examples as Mediating Tools: Introductory Algebra in Two Norwegian Grade 8 Classrooms
2019
A critical element in the introduction of algebra is to focus student attention on the basic ideas of algebraic reasoning including the use of concepts such as variable and algebraic expression. In the Norwegian classrooms, representing a student-centered instructional philosophy, the teachers utilized examples and problems that they themselves had designed, and the examples involved resources such as concrete objects and body movements in order to make algebra accessible to students. When designing these examples, teachers thus used their own previous experiences of teaching algebra in an attempt to articulate the passage from arithmetic to algebra.
On Inductive Generalization in Monadic First-Order Logic With Identity
1966
Publisher Summary The chapter examines the results obtained by means of a system when the relation of identity is used in addition to monadic predicates. The chapter compares the new system of inductive logic sketched by Jaakko Hintikka with Carnap's system. The main advantage of Hintikka's system is that it gives natural degrees of confirmation to inductive generalizations, whereas Carnap's confirmation function c * enables one to deal satisfactorily with singular inductive inference only. According to Carnap's system, general sentences that are not logically true receive nonnegligible degrees of confirmation only if the evidence contains a large part of the individuals in the whole univer…
On P-compatible hybrid identities and hyperidentities
1994
P-compatible identities are built up from terms with a special structure. We investigate a variety defined by a set ofP-compatible hybrid identities and answer the question whether a variety defined by a set ofP-compatible hyperidentities can be solid.
