The results from two experiments demonstrate the conditions under which a bargraph display can be processed both as a configural display and as a separable display. When there is a unique mapping of display attributes to system state categories (Experiment 1), the perceptual cues in the bargraph display serve to produce superior classification performance. Once that mapping and predictability is disrupted (Experiment 2), operators resort to analyzing the bargraph display in a separable fashion and produce performance equivalent to the serially processed digital display. Uncertainty (i.e., the degree to which a value or set of values of process variables map to a single system state) appears to be the primary factor affecting the way in which the bargraph display will be processed.

This article deals with conceptual questions regarding claims to the effect that humans and animals share artistic abilities such as the possession of music. Recent works focusing on animals, from such as Hollis Taylor and Dominique Lestel, are discussed. The attribution of artistic traits in human and animal contexts is examined by highlighting the importance of issues relating to categorization and evaluation in cross-species studies. An analogy between the denial of major attributes to animals and a form of racism is drawn in order to show how questions pertaining to meaning can impact on our understanding of animal abilities. One of the major theses presented is that the question of whether animals possess music cannot be answered by a methodology that is uninformed by the way concepts such as music or art function in the context of human life: the ascription of music to humans or non-humans is a value-laden act rather than a factual issue regarding how to represent an entity. In order to see how humans and animals share a life in common, it is necessary to come to the reflective realization that how human beings understand themselves can impact on their perception and experience of human and non-human animals.

Based on a new approach to symmetries of the fundamental interactions we deal, in this paper, with the electroweak interactions of leptons. We show that the coupling constants, arising in the way leptons are coupled to intermediate bosons, can be understood as parameters associated to the breakdown of SU(2) and parity symmetries. The breakdown of both symmetries is characterized by a new parameter (the asymetry parameter) of the electroweak interactions. This parameter gives a measure of the strength of breakdown of symmetries. We analyse the behaviour of the theory for three values of this parameter. The most relevant value is the one for which only the electromagnetic interactions do not break parity (the maximally allowed left-right asymetric theory). Maximamally allowed parity asymmetry is a requirement that is met for a value of Weinberg's theta-angle that is quite close to the experimental value of this parameter.

In a pot-type experiment with ryegrass, 32P was used to label isotopically exchangeable soil phosphorus as well as a phosphate fertilizer. The tagging of both forms of phosphorus enable us to determine the pool (L) for soil reserves and the A value which is the availability of these reserves in the presence of fertilizer. The authors establish correlations between the ratio K = L/A and the assimilable phosphorus as determined by the Bray II method, and also between K and the "extra" phosphorus. The authors state that the latter was the difference between the plant phosphorus with and without fertilizer. From this study it is concluded: (1) that the K value seems to be a better criterion than the amount of assimilable phosphorus to estimate the phosphorus fertility of a soil; (2) that the study of the variation of the K value according to the soil types informs us about the reserves behavior and about the way of nutrition for the plant. The calculation of the K value is aimed toward a more adequate fertilization for given types of soil.

The author explores various theoretical approaches to the defence of necessity, rejecting both excusatory conceptions of the defence and those based on the notion of moral involuntariness. Rather, the author argues that necessity is properly understood as a justificatory defence based on a lack of moral blameworthiness. After extensively surveying the history of the defence in Canadian law, the author critiques the way in which the Supreme Court of Canada has restricted the defence. He contrasts the current Canadian approach with the treatment of the defence in other jurisdictions and concludes that Canadian law would be served best by a robust defence of necessity, which would acknowledge that, in some circumstances, pursuit of a value of greater worth than the value of adherence to the law can be justified.

This paper argues that a first step in finding a sustainable solution for the pressing global issue of ‘waste’, is to consider waste a value attribution rather than a material condition. Doing so means a shift in focus from finding more efficient ways to ‘clean up the mess’ to changing the way in which value is attributed to things. The paper looks at a selection of recent literature on value systems to identify useful concepts and theory for a value-based solution to waste and proposes to probe such potential solutions through art and design.

Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study seeks to reveal the basic framework of the culture of manners in Islamic universities in South Kalimantan, especially in the three Islamic Colleges in South Kalimantan. The adab was analyzed by pivoting on the values in the Ta'līm al-Muta'allim book. The results of this study also revealed comprehensively the perceptions of lecturers and students on manners in the learning process, the values of adab were analyzed using a value analysis approach using data collection techniques, interviews, surveys and observations. Based on the research results, it was indintified that the values of adab and the way of thinking of lecturers and students in the learning process are in accordance with the values of adab as stated in the Ta'līm al-Muta'allim book. The awareness to implement certain adab was based on the goals to be achieved in the learning process or in the framework of seeking knowledge. Adab also takes place in certain dimensions, such as adab to Allah and the Prophet (spiritual attitude dimension) which is the core and basis of other dimensions; adab to humans (integration of the dimensions of spiritual and social attitudes); adab to oneself and to fellow humans (integration of the dimensions of spiritual & social attitudes). Some of the values implemented in the learning process could be seen in the doctrinal process of seeking knowledge conveyed by several lecturers to students, lecturers 'exposure to students regarding the virtues of studying, the students' intentions to study, the way students chose friends in association, how the students respected the lecturers, time management in learning, and some implementation of values that were in line with what was stated in the Ta'līm al-Muta'allim book.Kajian lapangan dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode deskriptif ini berupaya mengungkapkan kerangka dasar budaya adab yang berlangsung di perguruan tinggi Islam di Kalimantan Selatan, khususnya di tiga Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam yang ada di Kalimantan Selatan. Adab tersebut dianalisis dengan kacamata nilai-nilai yang tertuang dalam kitab Ta’lîm al-Muta’allim. Selain itu, hasil penelitian ini juga mengungkapkan secara komprehensif mengenai persepsi dosen dan mahasiswa mengenai adab dalam proses pembelajaran, nilai-nilai adab tersebut dianalisis dengan pendekatan analisis nilai dengan menggunakan teknik mengumpulan data wawancara, survei, dan observasi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa nilai-nilai adab dan cara berfikir dosen dan mahasiswa dalam proses pembelajaran dan pembelajaran sangat sesuai dengan nilai-nilai adab yang tertuang dalam kitab Ta’lîm al-Muta’allim. Kesadaran untuk mengimplementasikan adab tertentu didasari pada tujuan yang hendak dicapai dalam proses pembelajaran atau dalam kerangka mencari ilmu pengetahuan. Adab juga berlangsung dalam dimensi-dimensi tertentu, seperti adab kepada Allah dan Nabi (dimensi sikap spiritual) yang menjadi inti dan dasar dimensi lainnya; adab kepada manusia (integrasi dimensi sikap spiritual dan sosial); adab kepada diri sendiri dan kepada sesama manusia (integrasi dimensi sikap spiritual dan sosial). Adapun beberapa nilai yang terimplementasikan dalam proses pembelajaran dapat terlihat dalam proses doktrin tentang hukum mencari ilmu yang disampaikan oleh beberapa dosen kepada mahasiswa, adanya pemaparan dosen kepada mahasiswa terkait keutamaan menuntut ilmu, niat para mahasiswa menuntut ilmu, cara para mahasiswa dalam memilih sahabat dalam pergaulan, cara para mahasiswa menghormati dosen, pengaturan waktu dalam belajar, dan beberapa implementasi nilai yang sejalan dengan apa yang tertuang dalam kitab Ta’lîm al-Muta’allim.

According to branding and reputation literature, all stakeholders shares a common value system, which also leads developing similar perceptions towards corporates. As a value, materialism, especially effects the way that people mentally coding their environment and their lives. Preferences of consumers can differ from each other depending on how they judge the success depending on possessions or centralize the possessions in their life or are satisfied by owning them. The aim of this research is to test meaningful differences between employer brand images in terms of stakeholders’ material value tendency. A questionnaire composed of Employer Brand Image and Material Value Scales was conducted to three primary stakeholder groups. Results reveal that employer brand image differs depending on the stakeholders’ success-oriented and centrality-oriented material values for communication brands. The employer brand images of Vodafone and Turk Telekom that have the best and the worst reputation status in the market depending on being involved in a serious scandal, did not differ according to the stakeholders’ material values, whereas the employer brand image of Turkcell which has an average position in the market, statistically differed.

In the present study we consider the algorithmic classification of thermodynamic properties of fluids using the fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering methodology. The FCM is a technique that can find patters directly from the data. It is based on the minimization of an objective function that provides a measure of the dissimilarity of the data being classified in a particular group. The dissimilarity in the data is commonly formulated in terms of the Euclidean distance between the data points and the cluster centroids. This mathematical formulation and the efficient implementation are among its advantages. However, some drawbacks that lead to misclassification include the convergence to local optima, the particular form of the data, and the choice of the parameters embedded in the scheme. To assess the correct classification performance of FCM algorithm, published data of pressure, volume, and temperature are used with emphasis on the way the algorithm is affected by the natural scale of the data, and the following strategies for the classification: (1) data normalization, (2) transformation, (3) sample size used, and (4) data supply to the algorithm. The results of this assessment show that the natural scaling, and the normalization and transformation strategies are important, whereas the way the data are presented to the algorithm is not a critical factor in the classification. Also, a decrease in the number of data considered degrades the quality of the clustering. A complete consideration of the issues studied here may be helpful when a FCM classification is tried on new data.

Rapid and extensive advances in technology, particularly in the area of communications, have had a considerable impact on the way organizations operate and opened pathways to access vast amounts of information. Information, however, is static unless knowledge is applied to translate it into something meaningful and with the potential to be actionable. From the time organizations commence business, they accumulate information about the markets in which they operate, yet often, knowledge is not applied in a way that it can be exploited to bring benefit. The ability to share knowledge, to develop ideas, and to become more innovative is increasingly important for businesses, and the range of technologies now available provides a conduit for knowledge to flow through the organization to enable sharing to occur. Technology is frequently referred to as “just an enabler,” but it can also be identified as a value-adder.
