I investigate whether heuristics similar to those studied by Gigerenzer and his co-authors can apply to the problem of finding a suitable heuristic for a given problem. I argue that not only can heuristics of a very similar kind apply but they have the added advantage that they need not incorporate specific trade-off parameters for balancing the different desiderata of a good decision-procedure.

Abstract Modern controlling is an interdisciplinary field that allows management to manage properly, thereby creating the basis for good decision-making. Logistics operations in smart companies need to be not only properly set up, but also properly controlled and improved. The purpose of the article is to analyze the controlling environment in a selected company and point out possible improvements in logistics activities and devices, with a view to preventing different types of problems. For this purpose, observations of the internal logistics processes in a selected company were used and quantified to assess its internal state. On the basis of the data, controlling measures are put forward to improve the management of the company’s logistics activities. The results of the research highlight the opportunities that exist through controlling activities to collect and analyze information about the logistics activities of a company. By doing so, employees can be given greater responsibility for the fulfilment of their tasks and contribute to the streamlining of logistics processes. For managers, the implementation of controlling represents a change in the way of thinking and managing a company.

Notwithstanding its overwhelming descriptive power for existing data, it is not clear whether the kinematic theory of Plamondon & Alimi could generate new insights into biomechanical constraints and psychological processes underlying the way organisms trade off speed for accuracy. The kinematic model should elaborate on the role of neuromotor noise and on biomechanical strategies for reducing endpoint variability related to such noise.

In a recent paper (here referred to as “IDP”) the writer outlined a decision procedure for Lewis's system S4 of modal logic. One of the clauses in definition 3.1 of IDP requires correction. Clause II of 3.1 (2) should read as follows.II. Some constituent of the form ◊β, of degree n1 ≤ n, has the value T in Row (i), and some constituents of the forms ◊δ1, … ◊δh, and ◊η1, …, ◊ηm, all have the value F in Row (i) (h ≥ 0, m ≥ 0, h+m ≥ 1), where β → (δ1 ∨ … ∨ δh ∨ ◊η1 ∨ … ∨ ◊ηm) is an (n1 − 1)-tautology of S4.This change is required in order to carry out the proof of Metathcorcm 3.19. In particular, the change guarantees the following. If the expression η of the second paragraph of 3.20 is of degree n − 1, then the antecedent λ of formula ζ on page 210 of IDP is also of degree n − 1; and consequently the formula ζ of 3.19 is of degree n (since ◊λ is a constituent of ζ). (If we fail to make the correction, then it might be the case that both ζ and (3) are of degree n − 1, in which case Row (i) would not satisfy clause II as originally stated, contrary to the claim at the end of 3.20.) The proofs for the remaining cases of 3.20 can then be carried out, using the revised clause II, in the way originally indicated.The proof of Metatheorem 3.2 requires only trivial corrections for case 2.

The study is devoted to the study of the form of the emergence of trade architecture of the cities of the Great Silk Road and their impact on the expansion of modern tourism in the region. Сaravanserais, trading cities (markets) of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan are outlined as examples. The analysis of the types of planning structure and the situation that divulged the attributes of the trade architecture of the Great Silk Road. In the process of research, a measure of saturation with cultural and historical means of the Great Silk Road regions was deliberated. And also reviewed modern projects for the improvement of this trade and geographical interrelation of cultures of the East and West. The extent of the Great Silk Road was 12 thousand kilometers, so few traders proceeded all the way along the Silk Road. Essentially, they tried to travel in shifts and trade-off goods somewhere halfway. Throughout the Great Silk Road in the cities and villages through which caravans elapsed, there were caravanserais (inns). They had hujras (“lounges”) for merchants and caravan staff, rooms for camels, horses, mules and donkeys, and needed fodder and facilities. Caravanserais were a place where it was attainable to sell and buy in bulk goods interesting to a merchant, and most importantly, to get hold of the latest commercial news and, above all, prices for goods.

This chapter examines Salò, Or the 120 Days of Sodom and Ilsa, the Wicked Warden. Although both films use Fascist imagery to comment on the corrupting nature of power, they continue to enjoy very different cultural reputations. In order to explore this, the chapter firstly examines the BFI’s special edition Blu-ray release of Pasolini’s film, discussing the way the product employs exploitation tactics over the more established art film marketing directives expected from a highbrow company. Exploiting the film’s more transgressive attributes, the analysis shows how in-text extremity can be externally commercialised. Thereafter, the chapter investigates Ilsa, the Wicked Warden’s appearance within Anchor Bay’s ‘Jess Franco Collection’. Considering whether the auteur branding successfully redeems the lowbrow reputation of both film and filmmaker, the chapter highlights the ways lowbrow distributors use highbrow approaches to legitimise their texts. Ultimately, the chapter suggest that although the BFI trade off notions of disgust, the product presents Pasolini’s film as an artistically challenging experience rather than mere exploitation. In contrast, the chapter asserts that Anchor Bay’s attempt to legitimise Franco’s film is undone be the consistent centralisation of sexually explicit content.

Abstract Critics have recently argued that reliabilists face trade-off problems, forcing them to condone intuitively unjustified beliefs when they generate lots of true belief further downstream. What these critics overlook is that reliabilism entails that there are side-constraints on belief-formation, on account of which there are some things you should not believe, even if doing so would have very good epistemic consequences. However, we argue that by embracing side-constraints the reliabilist faces a dilemma: she can either hold on to reliabilism, and with it aforementioned side-constraints, but then needs to explain why we should allow the pursuit of justification to get in the way of the acquisition of true belief; or she can deny that there are side-constraints – and in effect give up on reliabilism. We'll suggest that anyone moved by the considerations that likely attract people to reliabilism in the first place – the idea the true belief is good, and as such should be promoted – should go for the second horn, and instead pursue a form of epistemic utilitarianism.

When museums are mentioned in connection with art that as a critical strategy generates primary bodily experience, it is usually to claim that they are incompatible. However, both museums and artists have developed new strategies to deal with the changing times. This article seeks to re-evaluate the claim that museums will always treat works as objects by comparing Fluxus works and their staging by Fluxus organiser George Maciunas to examples of newer work that seeks a similar kind of interaction with the viewer. The solution they suggest is documentation of the way a primary audience interacted with the work in order to make it available to the (secondary) museum audience. Current models of museum viewing tend to be oriented towards experience or data retrieval. The alternative, it is argued, is a museum that draws attention to the historicity, specificity and authoredness of the viewing situation. A museum that no longer distinguishes between artwork and mise-en-scène, but wants to document both. A museum that bridges the gap between the professional roles it performs and uses all the physical and communicative spaces at its disposal to make available the type of communication that the artwork originally sought to establish to a contemporary audience.

The digital era deeply influences the social and political features of the entire human community: it is related to the phenomenon of Global Governance, affecting the way of communicating, associating, getting and sharing information. It is a new period, and thus far, it needs important rules in several aspects. In this paper, we will talk about how this significant revolution influences, perhaps implements freedom and security and the consequent trade-off between the latters. We will start with some preliminary considerations about the formation of the State and how Global Governance compromises the ancient equilibrium, trying to establish a more open and internationalized worldwide community.

The conclusion takes stock of the way in which the media technological sound of the “other music” makes sense to human listeners. This music, it is argued, appeals to listeners not despite but precisely because of the way in which it is shaped by the noise of sound media: by all the disturbances, distortions, and interferences added by the transmission channels through which it travels. The book therefore closes with a brief exploration of the “other music,” using the music of Venezuelan electronic musician Arca as its final example. The fluidity and openness of her noisy, unpredictable music exemplifies the continuous trade-off between control and contingency that defines the operations of technical media. It is a fitting example of the way in which the noise of sound media, produced on the basis of the logic of filtering, is key to the continuous back-and-forth, or noise resonance, between music and listener.
