Science is not universal: diversity in knowledge systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The programme was launched on the basis of the European approach to ecological agriculture. Ecological agriculture mainly concentrates on biological processes, which in the field, however, did not permit to take socioeconomic, cultural and political aspects into consideration. The concept of the programme therefore gradually changed towards agroecology, which sees the agroecosystem as the result of a co−evolution of society and nature (Noorgaard, 1987).

متن کاملUniversal Approximation of Interval-valued Fuzzy Systems Based on Interval-valued Implications
It is firstly proved that the multi-input-single-output (MISO) fuzzy systems based on interval-valued $R$- and $S$-implications can approximate any continuous function defined on a compact set to arbitrary accuracy. A formula to compute the lower upper bounds on the number of interval-valued fuzzy sets needed to achieve a pre-specified approximation accuracy for an arbitrary multivariate con...
