Parlare alla pancia. Sulla falsa dicotomia tra emozioni e ragioni
2020
Nell’attuale dibattito sul tema della post-verità le emozioni sono generalmente pensate in contrapposizione o ai ‘fatti’ o alle ‘ragioni’. Tale contrapposizione sottintende una forte svalutazione della sfera emotiva, percepita come sostanzialmente ‘irrazionale’ e pertanto pericolosa. L'articolo intende mostrare l’inadeguatezza di questa idea facendo ricorso all' apparato concettuale della Retorica di Aristotele. Il limite principale della dicotomia emozioni/ragioni consiste nel non tenere nel debito conto il fatto che l’azione umana (cui il discorso persuasivo in ultima istanza mira) non può mai prescindere dalla componente del desiderio, che è invece centrale nella prospettiva aristotelica…
GRANULAR-INFORMATION-BASED RISK ANALYSIS IN UNCERTAIN SITUATIONS
2006
In the real life almost all of the decisions that we have to make incorporate uncertainty about the future events. Assessment of the uncertainty and, thus, the risk that is inherent in these decisions models can be critical. It is even truer if we are talking about the possibility of negative impact on the environment. It is very important to assess all the environmental risks in a project if there is any hazard to the environment. In this paper the possibility of using granular information is considered. The main advantage of the granular information is that it can be used to assess risks in situations when information about future events is incomplete and imprecise. Moreover, we can use n…
Kriminālprocesa pabeigšana saprātīgā termiņā
2016
Bakalaura darba „Kriminālprocesa pabeigšana saprātīga termiņā” mērķis ir izpētīt tiesības uz kriminālprocesa pabeigšanu saprātīgā termiņā kā viena no kriminālprocesa pamatprincipa attīstības gaitu, tā vietu kriminālprocesa principu sistēmā un tā ievērošanu pirmstiesas procesā un Latvijas tiesās. Darbā tiek apskatīta kriminālprocesa pabeigšana saprātīgā termiņā kā pamatprincipa izpratne vairāku tiesību ekspertu rakstos, pieejamajā literatūrā; tā (principa) pielietošana praksē Latvijā un citās Eiropas valstīs, kā arī tiek nosauktas aktuālākās problēmas, kas izpaužas īstenojot kriminālprocesa pabeigšanu saprātīgā termiņā. Temats ir aktuāls, jo ikviens sabiedrības pārstāvis bauda Latvijas Repub…
Continuum: A spatiotemporal data model to represent and qualify filiation relationships
2013
International audience; This work introduces an ontology-based spatio-temporal data model to represent entities evolving in space and time. A dynamic phenomenon generates a complex relationship network between the entities involved in the process. At the abstract level, the relationships can be identity or topological filiations. The existence of an identity filiation depends on whether the object changes its identity or not. On the other hand, topological filiations are based exclusively on the spatial component, like in the case of growth, reduction, merging or splitting. When combining identity and topological filiations, six filiation relationships are obtained, forming a second abstrac…
Seriāla “13 iemesli kāpēc” (“13 Reasons Why”) naratīva analīze un ietekme uz auditoriju
2019
Bakalaura darba “Seriāla “13 iemesli kāpēc” (“13 Reasons Why”) naratīva analīze un ietekme uz auditoriju” mērķis ir izpētīt seriāla naratīva struktūru un noskaidrot tā ietekmi uz auditoriju. Lai to paveiktu, tika izmantota naratīva analīze, ar ko pētīts seriāla saturs, un fokusa grupas diskusija, kur tika apspriestas dalībnieku sajūtas un efekti pēc seriāla noskatīšanās. Darba teorētiskajā daļā apskatīts naratīva jēdziens, pievēršot uzmanību audiovizuālam naratīvam, kā arī seriālu naratīva aspektiem. Tāpat tika apskatīti arī mediju efekti uz auditoriju. Pētījumā noskaidrots, ka “13 iemesli kāpēc” tiek strukturēts, katrā epizodē izceļot citu varoni, un atklāj seriāla stāstu, izmantojot poliv…
The Relational Syllogistic Revisited
2013
The relational syllogistic is an extension of the language of Classical syllogisms in which predicates are allowed to feature transitive verbs with quantified objects. It is known that the relational syllogistic does not admit a finite set of syllogism-like rules whose associated (direct) derivation relation is sound and complete. We present a modest ex- tension of this language which does.
Employees’ adherence to information security policies: An exploratory field study
2014
The key threat to information security comes from employees who do not comply with information security policies. We developed a new multi-theory based model that explained employees' adherence to security policies. The paradigm combines elements from the Protection Motivation Theory, the Theory of Reasoned Action, and the Cognitive Evaluation Theory. We validated the model by using a sample of 669 responses from four corporations in Finland. The SEM-based results showed that perceived severity of potential information security threats, employees' belief as to whether they can apply and adhere to information security policies, perceived vulnerability to potential security threats, employees…
The Effects of Consumer Demographics and Payment Method Preference on Product Return Frequency and Reasons in Online Shopping
2021
In online shopping, product returns are very common. In order to reduce them, one must first understand who are making them and why are they being made. In this study, we aim to address these questions by examining product return behaviour from a consumer-centric rather than the more traditional product-centric, retailer-centric, and order-centric perspectives. More specifically, we focus on the effects of four demographic characteristics of consumers (i.e., gender, age, education, and income) as well as their payment method preference on their product return frequency and product return reasons. As the data, we use the responses from 560 Finnish online consumers, which were collected with …
Filozofia tu i teraz. Ontologia procesu jako podstawa filozoficznego coachingu
2018
Artykuł zawiera szkic ontologicznych podstaw coachingu filozoficznego – nowej dyscypliny praktycznej, która od roku 2016 stanowi składnik oferty edukacyjnej Uniwersytetu Opolskiego. Jest rozwinięciem idei zawartych w moim tekście Filozofia jako ćwiczenie duchowe – coachingowy model uprawiania filozofii. W drugim paragrafie przedstawiono ontologię Platona z perspektywy filozofii procesu. Widziana z tej perspektywy ontologia Platona jest rodzajem metafizyki doświadczenia – byt nazywany przez Platona „prawdziwym” nie jest rzeczywistością abstraktów, lecz tym, czego doświadczamy w chwilach, gdy rozpoznajemy znaczenie konkretnych sytuacji życiowych w perspektywie Dobra. Filozofia Platona okazuje…
