‘And so,’ said Appius, in Varro's De Re Rustica, ‘in the matter of farmyard-feeding we come to the third act, which is about fishponds.’ ‘Third act be hanged!’ said Axius; ‘do you suppose that, because you were so very economical when a young man as not to drink wine and honey at home, we are going to neglect honey ?’

Short Summary

The paper presents an interpretation of Brandom’s analysis of de re specifying attitude-ascriptions. According to this interpretation, his analysis amounts to a deflationist conception of intentionality. In the first section I sketch the specific role deflationist theories of truth play within the philosophical debate on truth. Then I describe some analogies between the contemporary constellation of competing truth theories and the current confrontation of controversial theories of intentionality. The second section gives a short summary of Brandom’s analysis of attitude-ascription, focusing on his account of the grammar of de re ascriptions of belief. The third section discusses in detail those aspects of his account from which a deflationist conception of intentionality may be derived, or which at least permit such a conception. In the proposed interpretation of Brandom’s analysis, the vocabulary expressing the representational directedness of thought and talk does not describe a genuine property of mental states, but has an alternative descriptive function and in addition contains a performative and a meta­descriptive element.

This concluding chapter examines some possible further implications of democratic persuasion that might be a source for further study. The first implication is that the book's view might serve as a model for other states that seek an alternative to the two dominant approaches to free speech. The third approach, democratic persuasion, allows free speech advocates to retain the protections against coercion found in rights of free expression. However, democratic persuasion also gives voice to the fundamental value of free and equal citizenship that underlies free speech. The second implication of the book's view is that it can also serve as a model for understanding how to promote ideals of equality in international law without violating the rights of individuals or the rights of states. Indeed, democratic persuasion already has a prominent role in international law.

‘Cold wars at home’ highlights the domestic repercussions of the Cold War. The Cold War exerted so profound and so multi-faceted an impact on the structure of international politics and state-to-state relations that it has become customary to label the 1945–90 period ‘the Cold War era’. That designation becomes even more fitting when one considers the powerful mark that the Soviet–American struggle for world dominance and ideological supremacy left within many of the world’s nation-states. The Cold War of course affected the internal constellation of forces in the Third World, Europe, and the United States and impacted the process of decolonization, state formation, and Cold War geopolitics.

Background. Data in the literature has shown poor sleep quality to be frequently observed in hospitalized patients and known to be associated with poor treatment outcome. Many factors may impact poor sleep quality, and there is currently limited available data. We aim to determine the prevalence of poor sleep quality and associated factors in patients admitted to internal medicine wards as well as the change of sleep quality over time after admission. Methods. An analytic observational study was conducted at the internal medicine wards at the King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. Patients were personally interviewed to evaluate the history of sleep quality at home, sleep quality after the first and the third days of admission, and potential associated factors. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and screening questionnaires for the common diseases associated with poor sleep quality were also utilized. The logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent factors which led to poor sleep quality. Results. Data were collected from 96 patients during the period of June 2015 to February 2016. The mean age of the patients was 50.8±16.7 years, and 51% were male. Infectious disease was the most common principal diagnosis accounted for 29.2%. The results show high prevalence of poor sleep quality after the first night of admission compared to baseline sleep quality at home (50% vs. 18.8%; p<0.001). After 3 days of admission, the prevalence of poor sleep quality was reduced to the level close to baseline sleep quality at home (28.1% vs. 18.8%; p=0.13). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that light exposure and pain were the main independent factors for poor sleep quality on the first day (odds ratio 6.68; 95% CI 2.25-19.84) and on the third day (odds ratio 3.47; 95% CI 1.24-9.71), respectively. Conclusions. This is the first study conducted on the sleep quality of hospitalized patients that included the follow-up period during hospital admission. Our study demonstrated high prevalence of poor sleep quality in hospitalized patients on the first day. Interestingly, the sleep quality was partly improved during hospitalization. Light exposure and pain were demonstrated to be the factors associated with poor sleep quality.

Few tools of Nazi propaganda were as potent or as permanent asarchitecture. At the instigation of Hitler, who had once aspired to bean architect, the Nazi regime placed unusual importance on thedesign of environments—whether cities, buildings, parade grounds, orhighways—that would glorify the Third Reich and express its dynamicrelationship to both the past and the future. Architecture and urbandesign were integral to the way the regime presented itself at homeand abroad. Newsreels supplemented direct personal experience ofmonumental buildings. Designed to last a thousand years, these edificesappeared to offer concrete testimony of the regime’s enduringcharacter. A more subtle integration of modern functions and vernacularforms, especially in suburban housing, suggested that technologicalprogress could coexist with an “organic” national communityrooted in a quasi-sacred understanding of the landscape.

This paper deals with controlling from a distance of NXT Mindstorms robot using mainly Matlab environment and a C# programmable interface. For robot control there is used an IIS application. This is very useful when the owner of the robot is not at home, but he has internet access. The owner of the robot can control the robot and find out what is happening at home. On the second hand, the robot is able to choose the moving path inside the house with the path planning application. The robot is equipped with a camera and the third facility of the robot is the spherical bodies recognition. Also there was developed a dedicated software for human faces detection.

In this paper, we propose a middleware system for building adaptive migratory continuous media applications. In future computing environments, a variety of objects at home and in offices will embed computers, and various applications will be moved among these computers according to the user's locations. For example, a computer that executes an application may be changed to another computer according to the location of the application's user for monitoring his behavior. However, since the computers may have dramatically different hardware and software configurations, the application cannot be moved without taking into account the configurations of the computers that the application is migrated. Therefore, migratory applications should be aware of environments where they are executed. The paper focuses on middleware for building adaptive migratory continuous media applications that are one of the most important classes of migratory applications. Our middleware consists of three components. The first component is an environment server that monitors computing environments that applications run, and it notifies the changes of the environments to the applications. The second component is a continuous media toolkit that enables us to build adaptive migratory continuous media applications easily. The toolkit enables us to build continuous media applications in a highly configurable way. This makes applications to be adapted to every computing environment by changing their configurations. The third component is a migration manager that makes applications migratory. We also show an example of a migratory application, and describe some experiences with building the application.

Third place is a neutral place, and simple (unpretentious). This place must be playful or fun for anyone, so that when leaving the third place, people come out happily. This place has no rules at home or work. Third place is also a place where people gather, and have the same status. Also in this project the third place comes as a form of open architecture that is friendly to the environment and makes the city better. The main activity of this project is the interaction with the programs offered, the activity itself and with fellow visitors. The focus of the third place is shown on the impact of "The Solidarity Economy" or according to Ethan Miller of the Grassroots Economic Organizing Collective in Australia, The "solidarity economy", is an invitation to reach a broad scope of the workings of an economy based on sharing. This system makes it easy for people to be able to access facilities without having something that will create interaction between visitors and visitors. This happened because the project was designed to form communal activities. The communal activities that occur are playful activities. Like, misbar space, café boardgame and also sports space that is not competitive. Like the criteria contained in the third place theory which has playful criteria. The rooms that are formed are designed and planned so that each visitor can interact with other visitors and with existing programs.Abstrak Third place adalah tempat netral, dan sederhana (unpretentious). Tempat ini haruslah playful atau menyenangkan bagi siapapun, sehingga ketika meninggalkan third place, orang keluar dengan bahagia. Tempat ini tidak memiliki aturan yang ada di rumah maupun tempat kerja. Third place juga merupakan tempat masyarakat berkumpul, dan memiliki status yang sama. Selain itu dalam proyek ini third place hadir sebagai bentuk dari open architecture yang bersahabat dengan lingkungannya dan membuat kota menjadi lebih baik. Aktifitas utama dari proyek ini adalah interaksi dengan program yang ditawarkan, aktifitas itu sendiri maupun dengan sesama pengunjung. Fokus third place ditunjukan pada dampak dari “The Solidarity Economy” atau ekonomi solidaritas yang menurut Ethan Miller dari Grassroots Economic Organizing Collective di Australia, The “solidarity economy”, adalah sebuah undangan untuk menjangkau lingkupan yang luas mengenai cara kerja ekonomi yang berlandaskan berbagi.  Sistem ini memudahkan masyarakat untuk dapat mengakses fasilitas tanpa memiliki sesuatu yang akan menciptakan interaksi antara pengunjung dengan pengunjung. Hal ini terjadi karena proyek ini dirancang untuk membentuk aktifitas komunal. Adapun aktifitas komunal yang terjadi adalah aktifitas yang bersifat playful. Seperti, ruang misbar, café boardgame dan juga ruang olahraga yang bersifat tidak kompetitif. Seperti sebagaimana kriteria yang terdapat pada teori third place yang memiliki kriteria playful. Ruangan-ruangan yang terbentuk dirancang dan direncanakan agar setiap pengunjung bisa berinteraksi dengan pengunjung lain maupun dengan program yang sudah ada.
