Abstract In this article, I reply to Jens Timmermann’s critical discussion of my essay “Contradiction and Kant’s Formula Universal Law”. first consider reasons for rejecting interpretation the Law. argue that self-contradiction relevant determining a maxim’s moral status should not be sought in imagined world which maxim is universal law. then discuss suggestion something like volitional found ...

The computational solution of large scale linear programming problems contains various difficulties. One of the difficulties is to ensure numerical stability. There is another difficulty of a different nature, namely the original data, contains errors as well. In this paper, we show that the effect of the random errors in the original data has a diminishing tendency for the optimal value as the...

The utilization of social media material in journalistic workflows is increasing, demanding automated methods for the identification of misand disinformation. Since textual contradiction across social media posts can be a signal of rumorousness, we seek to model how claims in Twitter posts are being textually contradicted. We identify two different contexts in which contradiction emerges: its b...

We present a novel leak detection algorithm. To prove the absence of a memory leak, the algorithm assumes its presence and runs a backward heap analysis to disprove this assumption. We have implemented this approach in a memory leak analysis tool and used it to analyze several routines that manipulate linked lists and trees. Because of the reverse nature of the algorithm, the analysis can local...

It was in 1911 that Łukasiewicz and Leśniewski met. Leśniewski himself reported that at that time he had read Łukasiewicz’s masterpiece On the Principle of Contradiction in Aristotle (1910), and, as Lejewski knew from Łukasiewicz, he said he had come to criticize the author. In the same year Leśniewski wrote “An Attempt at a Proof of the Principle of Contradiction”, which was published in 1912 ...

In the recent review of the literature by Loreti et al., 1 the authors demonstrate the contradictory situation regarding the scientific documentation for using laser phototherapy (LPT) to improve wound healing. Although 557 studies were identified from 2008 up to today, only 31 of these had a score of 3 or more on the Jadad scale. And merely three of these were clinical studies. Therefore, alth...
