The reflection on the collaborative calls for a review of the contemporary roots of the concept (Kropotkin) and its development (Ostrom). It is the core of our study. Another section is dedicated to some theorists of Cultural Districts (Sacco, Ferilli) who seem to make possible the passage from the "isolated one-subject" to the "we-working together-collective", reviewing their level of differentiation. The objectives of the study are: to characterize the scope of the collaborative through its sources; select some of the main notions of the collaborative universe; revisit them highlighting features provided; point out aspects of the current theory of the Districts, in order to the compatibility or discrepancy with the collaborative. The theoretical focus of the research calls for a methodology based on the management of the legacy of knowledge that supports collaborative actions, as well as the development of cultural districts. Sequencing supposes rereading in historical development of source texts of key, founding and current collaborative theories; selection of fragments that characterize the identifying notions; choice of theorists of Cultural Districts that allow a suitable analysis with respect to objectives; critical presentation of the theoretical aspects of compatibility or disparity from the theory of Districts, in relation to the collaborative world. La reflexión sobre lo colaborativo insta a la revisión de las raíces contemporáneas del concepto (Kropotkin) y su desarrollo (Ostrom). Es el núcleo de nuestro estudio. Otra sección está dedicada a algunos teóricos de Distritos Culturales (Sacco, Ferilli) que parecen posibilitar el paso del “uno-sujeto aislado”, al “nosotros-trabajando juntos-colectivo”, Revisando su nivel de diferenciación.  Los objetivos del estudio son: caracterizar el ámbito de lo colaborativo a través de sus fuentes; seleccionar algunas de las principales nociones del universo colaborativo; revisitarlas destacando características aportadas; señalar aspectos de la teoría actual de los Distritos, en orden a la compatibilidad o discrepancia con lo colaborativo. El enfoque teórico de la investigación insta a una metodología basada en el manejo del legado de conocimientos que sustenta las acciones colaborativas, así como el desarrollo de los distritos culturales. La secuenciación supone relectura en desarrollo histórico de textos-fuente de teorías colaborativas clave, fundadoras y actuales; selección de fragmentos que caractericen las nociones identificativas; elección de teóricos de Distritos Culturales que posibiliten un análisis idóneo respecto a objetivos; presentación crítica, de los aspectos teóricos de compatibilidad o disparidad desde la teoría de los Distritos, en relación al mundo colaborativo.

Selecting check index quantitatively is the core of the calibration of micro traffic simulation parameters at signal intersection. Five indexes in the node (intersection) module of VISSIM were selected as the check index set. Twelve simulation parameters in the core module were selected as the simulation parameters set. Optimal process of parameter calibration was proposed and model of the intersection of Huangcun west street and Xinghua street in Beijing was built in VISSIM to verify it. The sensitivity analysis between each check index and simulation parameter in their own set was conducted respectively. Sensitive parameter sets of different check indices were obtained and compared. The results show that different indexes have different size of set, and average vehicle delay's is maximum, so it's necessary to select index quantitatively. The results can provide references for scientific selection of the check indexes and improve the study efficiency of parameter calibration.

Chapter 1 introduces the aim and the target phenomenon of this book, that is, the dual-use phenomenon of scalar modifiers and the meaning and use of pragmatic scalar modifiers. After a brief overview of the current views on the notion of conventional implicatures (CIs) and the semantics/pragmatics interface, and observation of data for the dual-use phenomenon of pragmatic scalar modifiers, this book raises questions concerning (i) the similarities and differences between at-issue scalar meanings and CI (not-at-issue) scalar meanings, (ii) variations in pragmatic scalar modifiers, (iii) the interpretations of embedded pragmatic scalar modifiers, and (iv) the historical development of pragmatic scalar modifiers. It then also briefly outlines the core ideas and analytical directions used for answering these questions.

The summary judgment procedure in South African law provides for a speedy judgment in favour of a deserving plaintiff where it can be shown that the defendant does not have a triable defence. In 2019 the Rules Board made certain drastic amendments to the procedure of summary judgment in the high court. In this article the historical development of the procedure of summary judgment will be discussed, and the new amendments to rule 32 of the Uniform Rules of Court critically evaluated. It will be argued that the amendments to rule 32 were unnecessary and that it may diminish the right to access to justice in civil disputes. It will, however, also be argued that there are some merits in the critique raised by the Rules Board in relation to rule 32 and that the Rules Board missed a golden opportunity to overhaul the entire summary judgment procedure in a more sensible manner and in line with the core constitutional values of s 34 of the Constitution. It will be argued that rule 32 should be replaced in its entirety by a new, more streamlined procedure, and some recommendations for legal reform will be made in this regard.

Main Ideas

Analyzed is one of the most comprehensive modern approaches to the problem of the existence of evolution of human society as such and of specific human communities, i.e. “General Theory of Historical Development” by American historian and sociologist Stephen Sanderson. While agreeing, in general, with its main ideas, we believe that it is important to note that the issue of existence of individual communities demonstrating devolution (regression to an earlier historical state), stagnation or degeneration at certain historical stages is practically ignored in the framework of the theory under consideration. This creates its vulnerability in the face of specific empirical data, indicating a deviation from the evolutionary trend. We believe that overcoming this theoretical difficulty is possible in the process of comprehending the theory of S. Sanderson in the context of ideas of the world-system approach of Immanuel Wallerstein. We want to show that examples of devolution, stagnation and degeneration of societies do not deny general progressive evolutionary tendencies, characteristic for the world-system as a whole, but only indicate the transition of a particular society to a lower level within the world-system (from the core to the semi-periphery, or from the semi-periphery to the periphery).

In recent decades, so-called “mini-publics” have been organized in many countries to renew policy making and democracy. One characteristic of mini-publics is that the selection of the participants is based on random sampling or sortition. This gives each member of the community an equal chance of being selected. Another feature is that deliberation forms the core of the process of how proposals are developed. In this paper, we investigate the possibilities and challenges of sortition and deliberation in the context of the call for a deepening of democracy and more citizen engagement in policy making. Based on extensive research on citizens’ forums (G1000) in The Netherlands, we show the potential of mini-publics, but a number of shortcomings as well. Some of these are related to the specific design of the G1000, while others are of a more fundamental nature and are due to the contradictory democratic values that deliberative mini-publics try to combine. One of these concerns the tension between the quality of deliberation and political impact. We conclude that combining institutional approaches could be a way out to deal with these tensions and a step forward to both deepen and connect democratic processes.

RESUMEN: Ponemos el núcleo de la modernidad en el descubrimiento de la individualidad, entendido como un proceso emancipatorio respecto de las co­lectividades que pautaban su vida. Sus dos modos básicos, en pugna constante, serían desarrollar su individualidad autárquicamente o entenderse como un ser humano, autónomo y único, pero referido a la única humanidad. Parecería que se ha impuesto el individualista, objetivando su dominio en los sistemas económico y político, pretendidamente autoconstruidos y autorregulados. Siempre hubo cristianos modernos, pero debieron soportar la contradicción de la institución eclesiástica. El Vaticano II discernió que el ser humano es histórico y que al hacer la historia se hace a sí mismo; reconoció que los bienes civilizatorios propician la vida humana, pero no equivalen al desarrollo propiamente humano. Sólo éste es escatológico. La responsabilidad ante los hermanos y la historia, que se ejerce en la encarnación solidaria, es el nuevo humanismo. La superación de la modernidad se da en el paso del individuo solo o en relación, al ser humano constitutivamente relacional, que se hace persona al actuar como hijo y hermano desde su insobor­nable individualidad.ABSTRACT: We put the core of Modernity in the emerging phenomena of indi­viduality, understood as a process of emancipation from the ruling groups. Its two ways, always in tension, would be to develop an individuality autocratically or to understand the individual as a unique and autonomous human being, but only in reference to humankind. It looks like that the individualist model has imposed itself dominating the economical and political systems, supposedly self-made and self-regulated. Modern christians have always existed, but they had always to deal with the contradiction of the Church as institution. The Vatican II discerned that the human being is historical and while making history we form themselves; rec­ognized that the civilizing benefits propitiate human life, but they do not equate to true human development. This is only eschatological. The responsibility towards brothers and history, that we perform in our caring incarnation, is the new hu­manism. We go beyond modernity when we pass from the individual alone or in relation to humankind intrinsically relational, that becomes a person by acting as a son and brother while anchored in indelible individuality. 

The problem of selecting capabilities: Nussbaum’s philosophical road to democracy

Abstract: Capability Approach theorists have placed the recognition of capabilities and functionings at the core of their theories. However, they disagree about the selection of relevant capabilities. In this article, I argue that contrary to what the author claims, it is not philosophically possible to derive a list of central capabilities in this way, from the concept of human dignity underlying Martha Nussbaum’s theory. From that concept it is only possible to derive a process of democratic decision, in which everybody is represented fairly and equally. It should be noted that the proposal presented in this article is not in opposition to Nussbaum’s theory, but rather an attempt to offer a new interpretation of it, based on the normative groundings of theory, in order to address some of its theoretical problems. This thesis occupies forth section. In the second and third sections, I summarize the debate around the problem of selecting capabilities.

The recent development in artificial intelligence is quite astounding in this decade. Especially, machine learning is one of the core subareas of AI. Also, ML field is an incessantly growing along with evolution and becomes a rise in its demand and importance. It transmogrified the way data is extracted, analyzed, and interpreted. Computers are trained to get in a self-training mode so that when new data is fed they can learn, grow, change, and develop themselves without explicit programming. It helps to make useful predictions that can guide better decisions in a real-life situation without human interference. Selection of ML tool is always a challenging task, since choosing an appropriate tool can end up saving time as well as making it faster and easier to provide any solution. This chapter provides a classification of various machine learning tools on the following aspects: for non-programmers, for model deployment, for Computer vision, natural language processing, and audio for reinforcement learning and data mining.

Chapter 3 considers the principles underlying the selection of an appropriate sample for depth interviewing and the range of strategies available to identify and recruit participants in that sample. Rather than claiming representativeness, as a quantitative researcher might, a depth interviewer aims to select a sample capable of yielding theoretically generalizable insights—an approach called theoretical sampling. Theoretical sampling focuses on finding a variety of participants who are well positioned to reveal the practices, mechanisms, and relationships the research seeks to explain. The chapter then looks at the range of strategies for finding a good sample and deciding whom to include and whom to exclude. Whether the sampling strategy involves recruiting randomly selected participants, snowball sampling, seeking volunteers, or some combination, a good sample contains both the core controls and the built-in comparisons needed to answer the study questions and develop an explanation for the outcomes.
