Etymological essence of the procedural form as a factor of specification of the judge's profile in administrative proceedings

The purpose of the study is to establish a dialectical relationship, etymological features between the certainty of the procedural form of administrative proceedings and the level of protection of citizens 'rights in the resolution of Public Law disputes, the Prevention of abuse of citizens' rights in administrative proceedings, the weight of involving a judge in resolving disputes in separate proceedings. Methodology: in the implementation of this research, general and special methods of scientific knowledge were used: the method of system analysis, the dialectical method, the formal-logical method and the structural-functional method, as well as a number of empirical methods. Results: the authors came to the conclusion that there is no normative deterministic procedure for separate separate proceedings, which does not fit into the traditional logic on the methodological basis of the stages of administrative proceedings – dispute resolution procedures with the participation of a judge, restoration of lost proceedings and execution of court orders.

Institutional logics and risk management practices in government entities: evidence from Saudi Arabia

Purpose This study aims to understand how institutional logics influence the adoption and implementation of risk management (RM) practices by government entities in a non-western, developing country. Design/methodology/approach This study draws on the institutional logics perspective (ILP) to analyze a case study of a government entity in Saudi Arabia. Data were obtained from semi-structured interviews, observations and documentary evidence. Findings Findings suggest that the adoption and implementation of RM projects by Saudi governmental agencies was rooted in a traditional logic, even though the catalyst of the government for adopting a RM culture across government agencies was framed within a reform program inspired by a modernization logic. In the entity under investigation, the RM project led to an unstable situation where actors were confronted with these two competing logics. Although the project used manifestations of a modernization logic, the actions of individuals within the organization were embedded in a traditional logic. Research limitations/implications The study is based on a single case study in a specific country, limiting the generalizability of the findings. Originality/value This study provides novel evidence of the adoption and implementation of RM in governmental entities in a developing, non-western, country using ILP. Doing so enhances our knowledge about how managers struggle with competing institutional logics in an underexplored setting and enriches current accounts of key drivers and barriers of RM. It also addresses calls for a deeper understanding of the logics and managerial practices interplay in the public sector.

Traditional Logic and Computational Thinking

In this contribution, we try to show that traditional Aristotelian logic can be useful (in a non-trivial way) for computational thinking. To achieve this objective, we argue in favor of two statements: (i) that traditional logic is not classical and (ii) that logic programming emanating from traditional logic is not classical logic programming.

Psychological Aspects and Results of Innovative Thinking of a Manager

New types of thinking, studied and developed in recent decades, include such as innovative, managerial, strategic, critical and systemic as the highest level of thinking that synthesizes all types. Innovative thinking cannot be based on traditional logic. The innovative thinking of a leader, combined with managerial abilities, leads to personal progress of the manager himself, in the organization - to the emergence of a new product, thereby taking the company not only to a new level, but also to a leader.

Tradicionālā loģika – arhaisms vai fenomens ar attīstības iespējām

The aim of the article is to show the specifics of traditional logic. To a large extent, logic initially operates as Aristotle's logic. The traditional formal logic appears as a combination of individual elements, which are obtained from logical systems of various historical eras and directions. The author believes that the subject of logic is objectively linked to the category of the form, but the difficulty in understanding the form lies in the complexity of the form’s nature. The author claims that the content, which differs from the form, is not included in it. There is a functional difference between the form and the content. It is assumed that the types of logic appear as a function of a certain form, and diversity of logic is a consequence of the various manifestations of the form. Logic is interested in the correct form. Such assessment of the form includes an idea of the form as a specific condition. The correct form is a condition for the safety of information included in the statements or their sets. The author argues that logic can be characterized as a science of formal conditions and ways to achieve information security of certain parameters. Supposedly, traditional logic is a formal (form-based) science, which however is limited to certain substantial conditions, and that is one of the factors that forms the specifics of science. The author emphasizes that the tools offered by traditional logic allow to find solutions related to novelty.

DIDACTICS OF LOGIC IN KEN SCHOOLS AND THE CONCEPTION OF LOGICIN THE "ENCYCLOPÉDIE OU DICTIONNAIRE UNIVERSEL RAISONNÉ"

The paper describes the conception of logic in Polish didactics authored by the Commission of National Education (KEN), an important educational institution of the European Enlightenment. Since the documents of the Commission refer to a vision of science presented by such influential works then as the Encyclopédie ou dictionnaire universel raisonné [Great French Encyclopedia], the paper compares the requirements from the Commission’s programmer with the encyclopaedic entries that entail logical problems broadly understood. It turns out that the Commission, following the Encyclopédie, not only recommended a list of textbooks of logic but also shared its eclectic vision of logic. Although it is characteristic of modernity to take a relative approach to the importance of traditional logic, transformed into science on method, or literally an outline of epistemology, understood according to É. Condillac as a specific form of metaphysics, nevertheless some elements of logic were eclectically made valid. This logic, from the times of I. Kant, has been defined as formal logic. Practical logical skills were preferred to the knowledge of logical theories. At the same time attention was paid to the meaning of natural logical skills, and drills in logical reasoningwhen studying languages and mathematics. Despite preferences for the analytical method they also noticed the importance of synthetic method. It seems also that although the documents of the Commission do not say anything about the teaching of syllogistic issues, in didactic practice inspired by the Encyclopédie in the schools controlled by the Commission, the room was made to teach these problems. Condillac’s book was preferred in the schools controlled by the Commission, nevertheless, it was not, as in the case of other textbooks, a must on the reading list, an obligatory reading matter, therefore it was not published in Poland. The conception of logic presented by the Commission as modelled on the Encyclopédie managed to avoid the one-sidedness of Condillac’s approach, the approach that in fact eliminated the teaching of logic.

Distribution Tableaux, Distribution Models

The concept of distribution is a concept within traditional logic that has been fundamental for the syntactic development of Sommers and Englebretsen’s term functor logic, a logic that recovers the term syntax of traditional logic. The issue here, however, is that the semantic counterpart of distribution for this logic is still in the making. Consequently, given this disparity between syntax and semantics, in this contribution we adapt some ideas of term functor logic tableaux to develop models of distribution, thus providing some alternative formal semantics to help close this breach.

Incorporate nuance, because of fuzzy logic

“Incorporate nuance, because of fuzzy logic” offers a basic introduction to fuzzy logic, a multi-valued logical system that accommodates a range of absolute and partial truths. Fuzzy logic differs from traditional logic in which statements are considered either absolutely true or absolutely false. Fuzzy logic offers a method for programming computers with intelligent instructions that emulate human thought and decision making. The discussion is supplemented with numerous hand-drawn sketches and explanations of real-life applications of fuzzy logic in electric trains, washing machines, digital cameras, rice cookers, facial recognition software, drones, and medical devices. Mathematics students and enthusiasts are encouraged to fuzzify their mathematical and life pursuits involving uncertain circumstances in which an absolute “yes” or an absolute “no” may not be the best decision. At the chapter’s end, readers may check their understanding by working on a problem. A solution is provided.

Philosophical Ontology and Rational Justification: The Ontological Aspects of Theoretical Knowledge

Philosophical ontology is a difficult to define category of objects, right up to the mixing of different levels of abstraction. As a result, various interpretations are possible, even paradoxical ones. Modern logical theories, unlike traditional logic, make it possible to identify the difficulties and outline ways to explain different types of ontological premises of theoretical knowledge, including philosophical doctrines.
