Tarski’s t-scheme as an alleged basis of Montague semantics
2007
My point in this paper is to focus on some details of Alfred Tarski’s writing that in my opinion have not been aptly represented — or aptly rejected — in Richard Montague’s grammar and to agree with those who share Tarski’s view that human language is something uncapturable. The paper consists of two parts, concerning 1) some attempts to formalize the non-declarative utterances, and 2) the limitations of T-scheme and of Montague grammar.
Universalisti vai suoriutuja : suomalaisten jakautuminen Shalon Schwartzin arvotypologiaan sosiodemografisten taustamuuttujien valossa
2015
Tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää kuinka suomalaiset jakautuvat sosiodemografisten taustamuuttujien mukaan sosiaalipsykologi ja arvotutkija Shalom Schwartzin kymmmenen arvon arvotypologiaan. Sosiodemografisina taustamuuttujina tutkimuksessa ovat mm. ikä, sukupuoli, tulotaso sekä työantajasektori. Tarkoituksena on tarkastella vaikuttavatko nämä sosiodemografiset taustamuuttujat siihen millaisiin arvoihin suomalaiset samaistuvat. Aihe on sosiologisesti tärkeä ja relevantti, sillä viime vuosina valtamediassa yleistynyt keskustelu arvojen kovenemisesta, katoamisesta tai vääristymisestä viestii siitä, että jotain muutosta on tapahtumassa yhteiskunnassa. Arvoja tutkimalla tuotetaan tarkkaa tieto…
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation and Hume's Conception of Causality
2013
This article investigates the relationship between Hume’s causal philosophy and Newton’s philosophy of nature. I claim that Newton’s experimentalist methodology in gravity research is an important background for understanding Hume’s conception of causality: Hume sees the relation of cause and effect as not being founded on a priori reasoning, similar to the way that Newton criticized non-empirical hypotheses about the properties of gravity. However, according to Hume’s criteria of causal inference, the law of universal gravitation is not a complete causal law, since it does not include a reference either to contiguity or to temporal priority. It is still argued that because of the empirical…
Die Schmieghyperebenen an die Veronese-Mannigfaltigkeit bei Beliebiger Charakteristik
1982
By means of linear algebra a base-free definition of a Veronese variety V(n,r) is given and also an illuminating description of its osculating primes from which can be deduced in a general form and without difficulty the phenomena of degeneracy in case of small characteristics. (Instance best known: For characteristic 2 all tangents of a conic are confluent.) The last section investigates special problems for the V(1,r) in characteristic p: So the osculating primes of a V(1,p) intersect its node in a V(1,p-2). Furthermore it becomes clearer why for 2<r<¦K¦−1 no elation can fix a V(1,r) (in case of a perfect field).
Split extensions, semidirect product and holomorph of categorical groups
2006
Working in the context of categorical groups, we show that the semidirect product provides a biequivalence between actions and points. From this biequivalence, we deduce a two-dimensional classification of split extensions of categorical groups, as well as the universal property of the holomorph of a categorical group. We also discuss the link between the holomorph and inner autoequivalences.
Varieties of Algebras with Superinvolution of Almost Polynomial Growth
2015
Let A be an associative algebra with superinvolution ∗ over a field of characteristic zero and let $c_{n}^{\ast }(A)$ be its sequence of corresponding ∗-codimensions. In case A is finite dimensional, we prove that such sequence is polynomially bounded if and only if the variety generated by A does not contain three explicitly described algebras with superinvolution. As a consequence we find out that no intermediate growth of the ∗-codimensions between polynomial and exponential is allowed.
Del acceso a la fragmentación del bienestar: Los servicios sociales de atención y desarrollo local en España
2018
Los Servicios Sociales son instrumentos al servicio de la política social para alcanzar objetivos de bienestar, calidad de vida y prosperidad de la población a que atienden. El presente documento muestra un breve repaso a la aparición de los Servicios Sociales en España, su génesis, evolución y la situación actual. Es objetivo del presente trabajo, mostrar la distinta implementación de los Servicios Sociales en el territorio español, dependiendo de la voluntad político-legislativa. Finalmente se destaca el preponderante papel de las rentas para la inserción de los usuarios de servicios sociales, la importancia de dimensionar la universalidad de los mismos como principio instaurador y la s…
Model-based approaches for the development of event-based systems using embedded services
2010
This paper presents a development use case of event-based system using (embedded) services specified in UPnP specification. Although we use only UPnP, we considered that the use case is also applicable for other (XML-based) service description technologies.

MATHEMATICS AS A QUASI-EMPIRICAL SCIENCE
2006
The present paper aims at showing that there are times when set theoretical knowledge increases in a non-cumulative way. In other words, what we call ‘set theory’ is not one theory which grows by simple addition of a theorem after the other, but a finite sequence of theories T1, ..., T n in which Ti+1, for 1 ≤ i < n, supersedes T i . This thesis has a great philosophical significance because it implies that there is a sense in which mathematical theories, like the theories belonging to the empirical sciences, are fallible and that, consequently, mathematical knowledge has a quasi-empirical nature. The way I have chosen to provide evidence in favour of the correctness of the main thesis of t…
