As a result of the epiphany of giant multinational media conglomerates, transnational trade networks and the politics of globalization, it is tempting to believe that individual and national identities have morphed. This article argues that such homogenization in relation to individuation is tedious to accept. It draws from theories of symbolic interactionism, social psychology, Foucauldian, an...

This article contributes to developing a management and organisation studies perspective on political organising by focusing on: (a) populism; (b) the exercise of power; (c) politics. We address two questions: in what ways have English populist politicians 20th 21st centuries utilised language along with other aspects campaign build enhance their symbolic power? And: how do organisations conver...

In textual modeling, models are created through an intermediate parsing step which maps textual representations to abstract model structures. Therefore, the identify of elements is not stable across different versions of the same model. Existing model differencing algorithms, therefore, cannot be applied directly because they need to identify model elements across versions. In this paper we pre...

It is di cult to clearly de ne the symbolic and subsymbolic paradigms; each is usually described by its tendencies rather than any one de nitive property. Symbolic processing is generally characterized by hard-coded, explicit rules operating on discrete, static tokens, while subsymbolic processing is associated with learned, fuzzy constraints a ecting continuous, distributed representations. In...

Decision-tree algorithms provide one of the most popular methodologies for symbolic knowledge acquisition. The resulting knowledge, a symbolic decision tree along with a simple inference mechanism, has been praised for comprehensibility. The most comprehensible decision trees have been designed for perfect symbolic data. Classical crisp decision trees (DT) are widely applied to classification t...

We suggest a programming realization of an algorithm for a verification of a given set of algebraic relations in the form of a supercommutator multiplication table for the Verma module, which is constructed according to a generalized Cartan procedure for a quadratic superalgebra and whose elements are realized as a formal power series with respect to noncommuting elements. To this end, we propo...

Natural scenes contain a wide range of textured motion patterns which are characterized by the movement of a large amount of particle and wave elements, such as falling snow, water waves, dancing grass, etc. In this paper, we present a generative method for modeling these motion phenomena and our method consists of four components: (1). A photometric model which represents an image as a linear ...
