Abstract While today there is much discussion about the ethics of artificial intelligence (AI), less work has been done on philosophical nature AI. Drawing Bergson and Ricoeur, this paper proposes to use concepts time, process, narrative conceptualize AI its normatively relevant impact human lives society. Distinguishing between a number different ways in which time are related, explores what i...

Utopia and Vision. Learning from Vienna and Frankfurt By definition, a utopia cannot be realized; at the same time architecture needs a “place”. Within this contradiction, modern architectural utopias have conceived of and developed spatial solutions to implement their principles. The spatial analysis of modern utopias allows for the identification of the relationship between architectural feat...

This paper presents a new forward-in-time advection method for nearly incompressible ow, MU, and its application to an adaptive multilevel ow solver for atmospheric ows. MU is a modi cation of Leonard et al.'s (1993) UTOPIA scheme. MU, like UTOPIA, is based on third-order accurate semiLagrangian multidimensional upwinding for constant velocity ows. For varying velocity elds, MU is a second-orde...

The compromise value is introduced for cooperative games with random payoffs, that is, for cooperative games where the payoff to a coalition of players is a random variable. It is a compromise between utopia payoffs and minimal rights. This solution concept is based on the compromise value for NTU games and the τ -value for TU games. It is shown that the nonempty core of a game is bounded by th...

Recently obtained Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) topography has permitted a new assessment of the morphology, structure, and history of Utopia Planitia. The new topographic data convincingly demonstrate that the Utopia region is an impact basin, as originally proposed by McGill [1989], whose major topographic expression is a circular, 1–3 km deep depression 3200 km in diameter. Utopia Basi...

This paper introduces the narrative network as a device for representing patterns of “technology in use.” The narrative network offers a novel conceptual vocabulary for the description of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and their relationship to organizational forms. We argue that as ICTs have become increasingly modular and recombinable, so have organizational processes and f...

In this paper we study topology of the variety of closed pla-nar n-gons with given side lengths l1,. .. , ln. The moduli space M ℓ where ℓ = (l1,. .. , ln), encodes the shapes of all such n-gons. We describe the Betti numbers of the moduli spaces M ℓ as functions of the length vector ℓ = (l1,. .. , ln). We also find sharp upper bounds on the sum of Betti numbers of M ℓ depending only on the num...

background and objectives: philosophical mentality grant an individual the ability to think critically, analyse the situation correctly, make insightful decisions, and find appropriate solutions for the problems. evidence shows that this mental capability can also positively affect the individuals’ creativity. in the health domain, where the complexity of healthcare procedures poses challenges ...

Since 1991, the city of Delhi in India has become a focal point of economic liberalization. Economic liberalization has been accompanied by local government efforts to attract both foreign and domestic investment, particularly in the service sectors of the economy. The attraction of investment has been achieved by spatial reconfiguration, pitting the interest of global and domestic capital agai...
