The article begins with a short introduction to phenomenology with an emphasis on the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, whose ideas have had a great impact on cultural anthropology since the 1980s, especially through notions like ‘embodiment’ and ‘radical empiricism’. The article will proceed to outline main trends in phenomenological anthropology as well as its precursors. It then dedicates itsel...

The paper illustrates the present role of phenomenological psychopathology by outlining its methods and focusing on some of its major issues: embodiment or body scheme, intentionality, time consciousness and intersubjectivity. The application of these categories to the analysis of psychotic disorders is demonstrated. Special emphasis is given to the relationship between phenomenology and cognit...

the aim of this paper is to depict the psychological element in phenomenological analysis of the human subjectivity. this analysis should be considered within the philosophical context provided by philosophers of 18th and 19th centuries, and very specifically by kant as his transcendental philosophy was a turning point for later debates on the human subjectivity. in this paper, i will consider ...

This paper presents an approach for improving final software system usability by designing for usability, in particular by addressing usability issues in the software architecture. This approach differs from the traditional idea of measuring and improving usability once the system is complete. The work presented in this paper is part of the research conducted within the European Union IST STATU...

In this paper we develop a technique of constructing bent– negabent Boolean functions by using complete mapping polynomials. Using this technique we demonstrate that for each ` ≥ 2 there exits bent– negabent functions on n = 12` variables with algebraic degree n 4 + 1 = 3`+ 1. It is also demonstrated that there exist bent–negabent functions on 8 variables with algebraic degrees 2, 3 and 4.

This paper introduces a reflective perspective on the role of computing in architectural design over the generations of computer aided architectural designs. Paradigms of the design process and computational models of designing are discussed. The evolution of computer aided architectural design is investigated. Both deadly sins and arguable virtues of computing in architecture and their implica...

While most design firms, professional artists, and educational programs continue to use conventional graphic modalities to communicate design intent and aesthetic expression, recent developments in computer graphics promise to revolutionize attitudes artists and designers now hold toward their work. Artists and designers will have to adopt new attitudes regarding the information utility of opti...

In analysis of the business and the system requirements, the identified elements are modeled using notations that fully describe their characteristics. Nevertheless, implicit relationships often exist between different types of elements that subsequently have to be identified and explicitly represented during the design of the system. This requires an in-depth analysis of the generated models o...

When applying RFID in production, it needs to be integrated into the used IT systems. However, till today system designers cannot rely on a standard solution for integrating RFID technology in manufacturing software systems. Each manufacturer has to deal with the same challenges: No consolidated findings on how to integrate RFID into the IT infrastructure exist. The consequence is that each IT ...
