For humans, phenomenal experiences take up a central role in their daily interaction with the world. In this paper, we argue in favor of shifting phenomenal experiences into the focus of cognitive systems research and development. Instead of aiming to make artificial systems feel in the same way humans do, we focus on the possibilities of engineering capacities that are functionally equivalent to phenomenal experiences. These capacities can provide a different quality of input, enabling a cognitive system to self-evaluate its state in the world more effectively and with more generality than current methods allow. We ground our general argument using the example of the sense of agency. At the same time, we reflect on the broader possibilities and benefits for artificial counterparts to human phenomenal experiences and provide suggestions regarding the implementation of functionally equivalent mechanisms.

AbstractThis paper provides an accessible introduction to the cognitive systems paradigm of enaction and shows how it forms a practical framework for robotic systems that can develop cognitive abilities. The principal idea of enaction is that a cognitive system develops it own understanding of the world around it through its interactions with the environment. Thus, enaction entails that the cognitive system operates autonomously and that it generates its own models of how the world works. A discussion of the five key elements of enaction — autonomy, embodiment, emergence, experience, and sense-making — leads to a core set of functional, organizational, and developmental requirements which are then used in the design of a cognitive architecture for the iCub humanoid robot.

Efficiency has replaced productivity as the prime rationale for research and development in agriculture. The reasons for this are to (1) reduce input costs when output is static; (2) to make best use of limited renewable resources; (3) to conserve both non-renewable resources and the quality of the environment. Efficient agriculture and conservation are often seen as opposing arguments because parties are arguing from different, incomplete premises. Blaxter (1975) explored the biological efficiency of agricultural systems using energy as a unit of account. He recognised that it was primarily the use of fossil energy as fuel (0.42) and as fertiliser (0.38) that had increased the productivity of U.K. agriculture but that “in the long term …the world must eventually reach a steady state in which energy provision will not entail a depletion of its capital resources.“

Currently, the problem of early rehabilitation of stroke patients is important, since in terms of the prevalence of cerebrovascular diseases and disability after suffering a stroke, Russia is one of the first places in the world. The complex of medical rehabilitation of such patients should provide for the early and most complete restoration of all body functions, patient education for lost skills, re-socialization of the patient and improvement of the quality of life. One of the factors contributing to a significant reduction in the quality of life after a stroke is the development of chronic constipation. The article reflects the modern methods of correction of chronic constipation in patients with limited mobility.

It has been known that both in the world and in Turkey a continuous change has been experienced in the provision of health services in recent years. In this sense by adopting the customer(client) focused approach of either public or private sector hospitals; it has been seen that they are in the struggle for presenting a right, fast, trustuble, comfy service. The purpose of this research is to measure the satisfaction degree, expectations and perceptions of the patients in Karabük State Hospital through comparison. In this context, the patient satisfaction scale which has been developed as a result of literature review has been used and by this scale it has been tried to measure the satisfaction levels of the patients in terms of material and human factors which are the two main factors of the service that was presented. In the study, with the scales of Servqual and 0-100 Points together, in the part of the analysis MANOVA have been used. The expectations and the perceptions of the patient has been compared first by generally and then by separating to different groups according to the various criterias and in thisway it has been tried to be measured their satisfaction levels. According to the results that were obtained, although, the satisfaction levels of the patients who have taken service from Karabük State Hospital are high in terms of thedoctors and the nurses; it has been reached to the result that their satisfaction levels are low in terms of the materials that have been used at the presenting of the service and the management.

Progress in information technology that is so fast is expected to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. In the world of information technology education can help and support the learning process. Especially now all the learning process activities can be done online. Progress in information technology must also be supported by quality human resources. In this case the teacher is very instrumental in the utilization of information technology in the world of education. Because the teacher is one of the education supervisors who will encourage the advancement of the quality of education in Indonesia. But in reality the quality of teachers in Indonesia is inadequate. There are still many teachers who cannot use information technology in learning especially for teachers who are senior or old. As teacher supervisors, they must improve the quality of their performance in using technology. To improve the ability of teachers to use technology, ongoing training is needed to use technology. The role of the head of the school as a supervisor is also needed, namely the principal is obliged to supervise, control, and approach the teacher in terms of the use of technology in the learning process.
