Introduction R eflection on ethical issues in long-term care results in large part from the relative newness and size of an extended “third age,” that is, that time in life that is generally characterized neither by reproduction nor production. This third age has become more common only at the end of the twentieth century with so many people living longer as the result of lifestyle changes and ...

Biogenetic engineering only very recently enabled human beings to construct Iifeforms that would be impossible except for scientific technology. The very newness of these techniques and the obvious ways in which the origin of "engineered" creatures derives from the activities of human agents allows us to think about questions derived from the discourse of environmental ethics in a new way, for ...

The automatic detection of novelty, or newness, as part of an information retrieval system would greatly improve a searcher’s experience by presenting “documents” in order of how much extra information they add to what is already known instead of how similar they are to a user’s query. In this paper we present a novelty detection system evaluated on the AQUAINT text collection as part of our TR...

The article reconstructs the student intervention during first decades of 20th century to link University Reform, movement started in middle 1918 Córdoba, Argentina. By highlighting students’ revolutionary enthusiasm and continental spread, seeks show that newness was inscription left demands, until then agreement with oligarchic republics. So it proposes well-known Latin American anti-imperial...

German children aged 2;1 heard a sentence containing a nonce noun and a nonce verb (Der Feks miekt). Either the noun or the verb was prosodically highlighted by increased pitch, duration and loudness. Independently, either the object or the action in the ongoing referential scene was the new element in the situation. Children learned the nonce noun only when it was both highlighted prosodically...

In studies of episodic memory retrieval, recognition paradigms are known to elicit robust activations in the inferior parietal lobe. However, damage to this region does not produce severe deficits in episodic memory performance as indexed by typical accuracy measures. Rather, because problems with memory confidence are frequently reported, the observed deficits may be best described as "metamem...

Abstract This essay takes an engineering approach to ensuring that the deployment of artificial intelligence does not confound ethical principles, even in sensitive applications like national security. There are design techniques all three parts AI architecture-algorithms, data sets, and applications-that can be used incorporate important moral considerations. The newness complexity cannot ther...

The newness of the New World proved a challenge for the archivists of the Americas. Here I am alluding to a simple notion of archive: that of a mechanism that stores and organizes a documental body which, in turn, historicizes and defines the institution to which the archive belongs. There is, of course, nothing simple about this —starting with the fact that the archive is required to contain t...
