Economic Management Data Envelopes Based on the Clustering of Incomplete Data

In this paper, the economic management data envelope is analyzed by an algorithm for clustering incomplete data, a local search method based on reference vectors is designed in the algorithm to improve the accuracy of the algorithm, and a final solution selection method based on integrated clustering is proposed to obtain the final clustering results from the last generation of the solution set. The proposed algorithm and various aspects of it are tested in comparison using benchmark datasets and other comparison algorithms. A time-series domain partitioning method based on fuzzy mean clustering and information granulation is proposed, and a time series prediction method is proposed based on the domain partitioning results. Firstly, the fuzzy mean clustering method is applied to initially divide the theoretical domain of the time series, and then, the optimization algorithm of the theoretical domain division based on information granulation is proposed. It combines the clustering algorithm and the information granulation method to divide the theoretical domain and improves the accuracy and interpretability of sample data division. This article builds an overview of data warehouse, data integration, and rule engine. It introduces the business data integration of the economic management information system data warehouse and the data warehouse model design, taking tax as an example. The fuzzy prediction method of time series is given for the results of the theoretical domain division after the granulation of time-series information, which transforms the precise time-series data into a time series composed of semantic values conforming to human cognitive forms. It describes the dynamic evolution process of time series by constructing the fuzzy logical relations to these semantic values to obtain their fuzzy change rules and make predictions, which improves the comprehensibility of prediction results. Finally, the prediction experiments are conducted on the weighted stock price index dataset, and the experimental results show that applying the proposed time-series information granulation method for time series prediction can improve the accuracy of the prediction results.

Considering Gender Within the Four Theoretical Domains of Subjective Age

The broad construct of subjective age is informed by four theoretical domains – self-perceptions of aging, old age stereotypes, age identity, and awareness of age related change (Kotter-Gruhn, Kornadt, & Stephan, 2016). Each of the theoretical domains is distinct yet interconnected, and analyzing how gender operates within each yields a more nuanced understanding of gender’s influence on subjective age. In our presentation, we will offer a review of researchers’ consideration of gender in studies of each subjective age theoretical domain, describing (1) how gender has and has not been included, (2) key findings when gender has been included, and (3) insights into how researchers might better include – or even center – gender when studying each domain. In so doing, we highlight the contributions of past scholarship on gender and subjective age and offer insights for future studies on the topic.

Chevalior Sivaji Ganesan’s Tamil Film Songs Not Only Emulated the Quality of the Movie But also Contains Ethical Imports that can be Compared with Ethical Theories – A Retrospective Reflection

This is a research work that discusses the great contributions made by Chevalior Shivaji Ganesan to the Tamil Cinema. It was observed that Chevalior Sivaji film songs reflect the theoretical domain such as (i) equity and social justice and (ii) the practice of virtue in the society. In this research work attention has been made to conceptualize the ethical ideas and compare it with the ethical theories using a novel methodology wherein the ideas contained in the film song are compared with the ethical theory. Few songs with the uncompromising premise of patni (chastity of women) with the four important charateristics of women of Tamil culture i.e. acham, madam, nanam and payirpu that leads to the great concept of chastity practiced by exalting woman like Kannagi has also been dealt with. The ethical ideas that contain in the selection of songs were made out from the selected movies acted by Chevalier Shivaji giving preference to the songs that contain the above unique concept of ethics.

ENSINO DE GEOGRAFIA, ESCOLA NOVA E ALGUMAS FONTES da pedagogia missionária

O ensaio analisa alguns rebatimentos da Escola Nova e do Manifesto de 32 na configuração discursiva contemporânea do ensino de Geografia. As operações textuais se valem das linhas de trabalho presentes no segundo domínio teórico de Ludwig Wittgenstein; portanto, executa uma descrição de determinados jogos de linguagem. Em meio à essa análise, o texto sinaliza que 1) sob a influência de autores do porte de Delgado de Carvalho, Pierre Monbeig, Everaldo Backheuser e outros, desde a primeira metade do século XX o ensino de Geografia vem sendo pensado por um grupo restrito de intelectuais; 2) que esses, por sua vez, capitanearam uma hegemonia pedagógica que tem nas metodologias participativas sua moeda mais forte; 3) é das raízes desse movimento que podemos entender a vertente missionária que, até os dias atuais, prevalece na ordem do discurso da Geografia escolar.Palavras-chave: Ensino de Geografia.

The textual operations use the lines of work present in the second theoretical domain of Ludwig Wittgenstein; therefore, performs a description of certain language games. In the midst of this analysis, the text indicates that 1) under the influence of authors of the size of Delgado de Carvalho, Pierre Monbeig, Everaldo Backheuser and others, since the first half of the twentieth century the teaching of Geography has been thinking for a restricted group of intellectuals; 2) that these, in turn, captained a pedagogical hegemony that has in its participatory methodologies its strongest currency; 3) it is from the roots of this movement that we can understand the missionary dimension that, to this day, prevails in the order of discourse in school geography.Keywords: Teaching Geography.

Introduction: Politics and Art Cinema

This introduction introduces the thought of Jacques Rancière, making connections across his political, aesthetic and film writing. It also situates his thought in the theoretical domain of political film theory, as well as locating shortfalls in his film analyses.

Two concepts of enunciation

In elaborating his notion of generative trajectory of meaning, with the intent to explain the abstractions which take place during the act of reading a text, Greimas borrows Benveniste’s original concept of enunciation as an instance of mediation, and reformulates it. An instance is a set of categories that creates a theoretical domain, therefore, an analysis domain. This paper explores the epistemological reasons that led Greimas to place enunciation on the path from the semio-narrative level to the discursive level of the generative trajectory of meaning, and shows the scope of the Greimasian concept of enunciation, that is, the categories and operations included therein. In addition, it presents the modifications to the Greimasian concept suggested by tensive semiotics, and discusses the possibility of reconciling both models.

Conceptions of Conflict in Organizational Conflict Research: Toward Critical Reflexivity

Diverse and often unacknowledged assumptions underlie organizational conflict research. In this essay, we identify distinct ways of conceptualizing conflict in the theoretical domain of organizational conflict with the aim of setting a new critical agenda for reflexivity in conflict research. In doing so, we first apply a genealogical approach to study conceptions of conflict, and we find that three distinct and essentially contested conceptions frame studies of conflict at work. Second, we employ two empirical examples of conflict to illustrate how organizational conflict research can benefit from a more reflexive approach and advance our understanding of conflict. In this essay, we emphasize how philosophical and political assumptions about conflict frame knowledge production within the field and we encourage future theory development to build on different notions of conflict to become better at coping with the complex and dynamic nature of conflict.

The Two Dogmas without Empiricism

In Two Dogmas of Empiricism W.V. Quine begins his attack on the analytic/ synthetic dogma by criticizing Immanuel Kant’s conception of analyticity. After dismissing Kant’s interpretation as well as others, he articulates a view of the analytic/synthetic distinction that connects it to the other dogma of empiricism, reductionism. Ultimately, Quine rejects both dogmas in favor of a new form of empiricism which subscribes to neither one. Just as Quine believes it is possible to accept empiricism without the dogmas, I will argue that the Kantian can accept both dogmas while avoiding the forms of empiricism that Quine considers in his article. The paper is broken into four sections. First, I offer a brief overview of the two dogmas and their relationship to one another before examining Quine’s argument against ‘radical reductionism’, i.e., the position that every meaningful sentence is translatable into a sentence about immediate experience that is either true or false. The second section shows how one of Kant’s arguments from the Critique of Pure Reason anticipates the crux of Quine’s argument against radical reductionism. What is left after this argument is only an ’attenuated form’ of reductionism that Quine believes is identical to the analytic/synthetic distinction. In the third section, I explain how Kantians can draw the analytic/ synthetic distinction in a way that is consistent with this attenuated form of reductionism while avoiding the objections that Quine lodges against the two dogmas. I argue that this allows the Kantian to accept the dogmas while avoiding both the radically reductive form of empiricism as well as the form of empiricism that Quine endorses (web-of-belief holism). Finally, I will consider how this Kantian version of the analytic/synthetic distinction can be extended beyond the theoretical domain to practical and aesthetic sentences
