In this paper, we consider the value of knowledge in an innovation context and deliberate a contrary perspective from existing empiricisms to bring about better innovation efficiency within multi-agent arenas. To do this, we consider why, if innovation is key for developmental trajectories in a healthcare environment, and despite the resource utilised to examine its characteristics, the transfer of knowledge within healthcare, practitioner or organisational innovation domains remains a problematic event.We reflect on this duality with a doxastic attitude and draw on modal maps as underpinning structures to present a critique. Furthermore, we draw from these qualitative descriptions of conditional maps as a natural extension of contemporary KBF (Knowledge Belief Frame) models. Thus, from an innovation context, we can deliberate the parallelism between an agent who establishes belief in real time propositions, and a formal system from which they derive the proposition and reality. Uniquely, in doing so we build a legitimate frame of reference by highlighting managerial parallelisms, which synthesise key epistemic doyennes and, efficaciously underpin the plausibility of logical associations and decision-making drawn from a first-person architype of belief.

In this discussion, we reflect on the value given to knowledge in a businesscontext and deliberate a contrary philosophical perspective which does notconform to prevailing knowledge theory. We consider why, if knowledge iskey for business success and competitive advantage, the transfer ofknowledge within an organisation remains problematic. Whereby, if thecreation of knowledge before transfer is recognised is a significant factor indetermining a starting point for analogous scrutiny, then what makes thisfocal point so difficult to establish and measure?We therefore consider parallelism between agents who believe propositionsand the formal system that derives proposition. In doing so, we synthesisefrom current literature and research, the epistemic principal of ‘knowledge’,which underpins the understanding of the many congruent knowledgetransfer theories, in a business context. To do this we reflect on Lindströmand the epistemic states of Spohn, wherein, we can draw on descriptions ofconditional doxastic maps, as a natural extension of contemporary Kripkemodels. We conclude the epistemic principle of ‘knowledge’, whichunderpins the plausibility of comparisons between epistemicallydistinguishable knowledge transfer, must include perspectives and doyennesfrom a recognisable, not implied, value standpoint

Introduction. In 1937 E. Čech and M.H. Stone, independently, introduced the maximal compactification of a completely regular topological space, thereafter called Stone-Čech compactification [8, 23]. In the introduction of [8] the non-constructive character of this result is so described: “It must be emphasized that β(S) [the Stone-Čech compactification of S] may be defined only formally (not constructively) since it exists only in virtue of Zermelo's theorem”.By replacing topological spaces with locales, Banaschewski and Mulvey [4, 5, 6], and Johnstone [14] obtained choice-free intuitionistic proofs of Stone-Čech compactification. Although valid in any topos, these localic constructions rely—essentially, as is to be demonstrated—on highly impredicative principles, and thus cannot be considered as constructive in the sense of the main systems for constructive mathematics, such as Martin-Löf's constructive type theory and Aczel's constructive set theory.In [10] I characterized the locales of which the Stone-Čech compactification can be defined in constructive type theory CTT, and in the formal system CZF+uREA+DC, a natural extension of Aczel's system for constructive set theory CZF by a strengthening of the Regular Extension Axiom REA and the principle of Dependent Choice.

In this short paper, we discuss a dialectic methodology surrounding theinterpretation of knowledge transfer, and the conditional elements whichcan be seen to support the concept of a unity of knowledge. We discuss adiffering standpoint to knowledge and knowledge value, based on theknowledge transfer practitioner’s perspective, but still in a business context.We ask why, if knowledge is vital for business success and competitiveadvantage, the transfer of knowledge is rarely a simple unproblematic event.Further, that the creation of knowledge before transfer is recognised as asignificant factor in determining a starting point for analogous scrutiny, andoften under a premise of doxastic attitude. This discussion therefore aims tosynthesise current literature and research into an elemental epistemicprincipal of FIGURATION DYNAMICS, and in doing so, may help focuscongruent knowledge transfer theories.

In non-UHV microscope environments atomic surface structure has been observed for flat-on for various orientations of Au thin films and edge-on for columns of atoms in small particles. The problem of oxidation of surfaces has only recently been reported from the point of view of high resolution microscopy revealing surface reconstructions for the Ag2O system. A natural extension of these initial oxidation studies is to explore other materials areas which are technologically more significant such as that of Cu2O, which will now be described.

Scanning Electron

The environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) has evolved as the natural extension of the scanning electron microscope (SEM), both historically and technologically. ESEM allows the introduction of a gaseous environment in the specimen chamber, whereas SEM operates in vacuum. One of the detection systems in ESEM, namely, the gaseous detection device (GDD) is based on the presence of gas as a detection medium. This might be interpreted as a necessary condition for the ESEM to remain operational and, hence, one might have to change instruments for operation at low or high vacuum. Initially, we may maintain the presence of a conventional secondary electron (E-T) detector in a "stand-by" position to switch on when the vacuum becomes satisfactory for its operation. However, the "rough" or "low vacuum" range of pressure may still be considered as inaccessible by both the GDD and the E-T detector, because the former has presumably very small gain and the latter still breaks down.

Purpose The aim of this study was to collect auditory-perceptual data on established symptom categories of dysarthria from typically developing children between 3 and 9 years of age, for the purpose of creating age norms for dysarthria assessment. Method One hundred forty-four typically developing children (3;0–9;11 [years;months], 72 girls and 72 boys) participated. We used a computer-based game specifically designed for this study to elicit sentence repetitions and spontaneous speech samples. Speech recordings were analyzed using the auditory-perceptual criteria of the Bogenhausen Dysarthria Scales, a standardized German assessment tool for dysarthria in adults. The Bogenhausen Dysarthria Scales (scales and features) cover clinically relevant dimensions of speech and allow for an evaluation of well-established symptom categories of dysarthria. Results The typically developing children exhibited a number of speech characteristics overlapping with established symptom categories of dysarthria (e.g., breathy voice, frequent inspirations, reduced articulatory precision, decreased articulation rate). Substantial progress was observed between 3 and 9 years of age, but with different developmental trajectories across different dimensions. In several areas (e.g., respiration, voice quality), 9-year-olds still presented with salient developmental speech characteristics, while in other dimensions (e.g., prosodic modulation), features typically associated with dysarthria occurred only exceptionally, even in the 3-year-olds. Conclusions The acquisition of speech motor functions is a prolonged process not yet completed with 9 years. Various developmental influences (e.g., anatomic–physiological changes) shape children's speech specifically. Our findings are a first step toward establishing auditory-perceptual norms for dysarthria in children of kindergarten and elementary school age.
