Limit Evidence

The epistemological approach of evidentialism maintains that a belief must have sufficient evidence in order to be rationally justified. The belief in God is no exception and, hence, it too must pass the litmus test of evidence as a measure of its rational justification. But what counts as evidence? Responding to this question and identifying the nature of the evidence that can be used to justify belief has become a point of contention between philosophers. While some evidentialists have denied the possibility of evidence for the belief in God, others have attacked the very basis of the evidentialist claim by promoting belief in God without evidence. The following paper briefly describes these two currents and culminates by discussing the notion of innate concepts and presential knowledge as proposed by Mulla Sadra. According to the authors, this type of presential knowledge can be included as “evidence” even from the evidentialist point of view which does not limit evidence to conceptual knowledge.

Basic Beliefs

The antifoundationalist defence of belief in God set forth by Alvin Plantinga has been widely discussed in recent years. Classical foundationalism assumes that there are two kinds of beliefs that we are justified in holding: beliefs supported by evidence, and basic beliefs. Our basic beliefs are those bedrock beliefs that need no evidence to support them and upon which our other beliefs must rest. For the foundationalist, the only beliefs that can be properly basic are either self-evident, or incorrigible, or evident to the senses. Belief in God is none of these. Thus, says the foundationalist, belief in God is justified only if there is sufficient evidence to back it up.

Emerging Issues

This study tries to look at developments and emerging issues about resource-based displays. From the point of view of Penrose in 1959 about the need for companies to have competing resources, until Barney's compilation gave rise to a resource-based (RBV) view and valuable, rare, non-replicable, and irreplaceable (VRIN), and organizational (OIN) views in a place that can absorb and use them. Study reviews are used by using literature review studies by reviewing articles that are relevant to the theme. The RBV discussion starts with the 4-dimensional grouping of the RBV model, which is the focus of the renewal. The purpose of this study is to explore behavioral concepts in terms of Islamic personality that encourage innovative motivation so that individual targets can be increased not only because of the visible support for religious or belief in God.

Type Of Behavior

Relational Frame Theory (RFT) is the simplest form of operant theory since it claims nothing more than a particular type of behavior, arbitrarily applicable derived relational responding, is an operant. While the theory is simple, its implications are not, and adoption has been slow until recently. RFT was first formally described in 1985 and in the 35 years since, hundreds of studies have been conducted on relational learning from an operant point of view. The present paper briefly summarizes that history and examines some of its key claims. So far, the empirical program delineated by RFT has held up remarkably well. Future directions are delineated that will enable a more comprehensive evaluation of the importance of the RFT research program, and a more thorough exploration of its profound implications.

The term biometrics is derived from the Greek words: bio (life) and metrics (to measure). “Biometric technologies” are defined as automated methods of verifying or recognizing the identity of a living person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic. Several techniques and features were used over time to recognize human beings several years before the birth of Christ. Today, this research field has become very employed in many applications such as security applications, multimedia applications and banking applications. Also, many methods have been developed to strengthen the biometric accuracy and reduce the imposture errors by using several features such as face, speech, iris, finger vein, etc. From a security purpose and economic point of view, biometrics has brought a great benefit and has become an important tool for governments and institutions. However, citizens are expressing their thorough worry, which is due to the freedom limitations and loss of privacy. This paper briefly presents some new technologies that have recently been proposed in biometrics with their levels of reliability, and discusses the different social and ethic problems that may result from the abusive use of these technologies.

SUMMARYThe AA. have studied the pedigree of a family with Marfan's Syndrome (M.S.) including 90 persons of four generations. 37 subjects were examined both from a general and from an ophcalmological point of view. Furthermore reliable informations have been obtained about 13 more subjects related with them. Out of the total of 50 persons about whom the A A. have gathered sufficient evidence, 22 turned out to be affected by « ectopia lentis », 20 by various skeletal malformations, all of them included in the general picture of M.S. In 5 more cases some signs of cardiac involvement have been found. The percentage of affected subjects in the whole family was 40%, whereas the hereditary transmission of this syndrome appeared to be typical of a presumably single autosomal dominant character.This is the first report in the literature of a consanguineous marriage between two subjects both affected by M.S. Out of 9 children who were born from this couple, 4 presented the M.S. (2 of them in a particularly severe form), 3 died during infancy, one was a stillborn and only one was a healthy individual.The number of cases of this syndrome described in the medical literature is in continuous increase. Furthermore the growing prominence it is assuming in general medicine, owing to the skeletal, cardiac and vascular anomalies, stimulates to a more thorough knowledge of its hereditary transmission, in the hope of achieving a useful social prophylaxis.

The following commentary is part of First Monday's Special Issue #2: Open Source. This paper briefly summarises the current research on the free/libre open source software (FLOSS) communities and discusses the deficiency of a body of FLOSS research done from the sociological perspective. Since Eric Raymond's famous 'Cathedral and Bazaar' that depicts a harmoniously cooperative community/bazaar that engages 'hackers' to develop and advocate FLOSS, many other successors have adopted a similar utopian-like perspective to understand the FLOSS development and organisation processes within and across communities. However, I argue that such a view, partially valid in explaining the FLOSS development, not only ignores the diversity of population and their different articulations, interpretation on and performances towards developing FLOSS, but also neglects the different environments and contexts where FLOSS is deployed, developed and implemented. A sociological point of view is vital in that it helps understand the dynamics emerging from the heterogeneity of the FLOSS social world and allows us to see different roles played by diverse actors and various environments and contexts where FLOSS evolves differently. This paper concludes with a list of suggested research topics for future studies.

At present, most of infant application products just rest on the level of beautiful interface while the usability of application interface is less noticed. The infant here and mentioned in the full text particularly refer to infant of 15-36 months old. From the point of view of visual perception characteristics, the paper mainly carries out an analysis of the usability design of application interface of infants. For the start, the paper briefly states the connection between the usability of infants’ application interface and the visual perception characteristics, then gives a detailed analysis of the influence of the visual perception characteristics in the usability design of infants’ interface, and preliminarily sums up the direction of infants’ application interface usability design.

Background: Content marketing has become a leading marketing technique in digital marketing communication and uses the point of view of consumers to build relationships by creating and sharing engaging content in social media that enhance their daily lives. Existing research on social media communities has focused mainly on social media marketing and virtual brand community perspectives while content marketing’s valuable and unobtrusive role in social media content communities has largely been overlooked.Objective: The purpose of this article was to investigate content marketing’s role in social media content communities to engage with the target audience in an innate manner.Method: This study made use of a directed, inductive content analysis of 51 practitioner documents relating to business-to-consumer content marketing practices to add another perspective to existing research on communities in social media. The content analysis was facilitated by using QDA Miner, a widely adopted and reliable qualitative data analysis software programme.Results: Three categories emerged from the data namely building content communities, platform-specific content and understanding channels. These categories provide sufficient evidence of how brands make use of social media content communities to connect with the target audience in an unobtrusive manner, in addition to being present in virtual brand communities.Conclusion: The findings make several contributions to the existing literature. Firstly, it provides a clearer distinction between brand and social media content communities. Secondly, it extends conceptions about social media communities to include content communities and, thirdly, it provides sufficient evidence of how content marketing could benefit a brand by naturally becoming part of social media conversations.
