Expressway-Urban Road Interconnection Design Strategy

Highway is an important kind of infrastructure which the transportation sector depends on. The rationality of the interchange design between urban roads and expressways is related to the relieving of urban traffic pressure. Based on the status quo of interchange design between urban roads and expressways, this paper discusses the types and applications of interchange design, hoping to provide reference for the design and construction of highway projects and ensure the rationality of interchange design.

The design and development of sustainable office building base on the upgraded target in Shanghai

Shanghai, which is the heart of economical centre in china, is developing even faster. The office building is perhaps the most important kind of building type along with the economic development trend. This paper study the design and development of the representative sustainable office building cases in different developing stage in Shanghai from the perspective of architectural design. And conclude the effective sustainable design and management ways by the cases to summarize some references and suggestion of sustainable office. And then the reflecting on the pre-preparation, the controlling of process and the technology selection in the whole design of the sustainable office building in Shanghai.

DEVELOPED EMPATHETIC CAPACITIES AS A PREREQUISITE FOR QUALITY INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN A SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

The specific issue of the quality of educational process requires a quality school environment, which can be observed at several levels: first of all, through quality interpersonal relationships, and then through quality curricula and syllabi and the ecology of the school environment (Relja, 2006). A quality school atmosphere is based not only on а humane/altruistic approach to students but also on the satisfied teacher, who is characterised by a number of positive qualities, as well as on the equally satisfied student, who cultivates positive feelings towards the authority of their teachers, towards the school itself, and towards the educational process in general. Good quality relationships between people are based on empathy, which is an ability to relate to the feelings of other people. It is via empathy that the teacher, however briefly, puts on their students' shoes and thereby feels the same emotions, which is what actually allows them to truly understand their students' feelings, actions, and problems and to respond positively to them. In doing so, they show a full understanding of their needs directed towards the well-being of students. Empathy includes both cognitive and emotional components and, therefore, in the process of empathising, knowledge and emotions interact. As most authors consider it to be a regulator of different forms of behaviour, especially within the context of altruistic behaviour (Batson, Duncan, Ackerman, Buckley, and Birch, 1981), empathy represents very important kind of motivation for altruism, given the degree of emotional unity established, which is a prerequisite for effective and sincere interaction between people and an initiator of a close understanding of another person's emotional world.

Making Things Possible

I argue that what-makes-it-possible questions are a distinct and important kind of sociological research question. What is social phenomenon P made possible or enabled by? Results won’t be about P’s causes and causal relationships, but about its enablers and enabling relationships. I examine the character of what-makes-it-possible questions and claims, how they can be empirically investigated, and what they’re good for. If I’m right, they provide a unique perspective on social phenomena, they show how the social world doesn’t come ready-made, and they open up new avenues for research.

Affective Disclosure of Value: emotional experience, neo-sentimentalism and learning to value

The aim of this paper is to motivate and solve a puzzle regarding the intuition that just as in the absence of perceptual experience we lack an important kind of understanding of sensory properties like colour, in the absence of affective experience we lack an important kind of understanding of value. The puzzle consists in understanding how can a property pertaining to the experience of the subject i.e. the affective component of emotional experience, provide us with a distinctive epistemic access to, and therefore an understanding of, properties that are instantiated by objects distinct from the experience i.e. the evaluative property of the object of experience. I argue that solving the puzzle necessitates us to commit to a metaphysical view of value according to which affective experience and evaluative properties are related by explanatory circularity. The upshot of the paper is that affective experience provides us with the sort of understanding of value that motivates the generation of evaluative concepts.

The Neglect of the Republic of Vietnam in the American Historical Memory

This chapter explains the neglect of the Republic of Vietnam in the American historical memory. It makes a personal appeal to the diasporic community for help in addressing this problem. Echoing the volume's view about the importance of memories, the chapter urges everyone who lived under the Republic of Vietnam to write memoirs, to grant interviews, and to share their memories. The most important kind of help from the community, the chapter argues, is to provide primary sources for historians. In addition, the chapter contends that the community should support Vietnamese studies, value the humanities and the social sciences as possible careers for their children, and support intellectual freedom.

تقریر رسول ﷺسے مستنبط احکام حج و عمرہ کا تحقیقی جائزہ

This article primarily aims to present an analytical study of Ahkam (Islamic directions or rules) of Hajj and Umrah derived from Taqreer- e- Rasool (Tacit or silent approval of Prophet) which is the second basic source of Islamic Jurisprud-ence. The study includes opinions of different schools of Islamic law. It high lights the importance of Hadith e Taqreeri which is an important kind of Hadith. Moreover, it discusses different methods for deriving of Islamic rules from Hadith and combination of Muktalif ul Hadith(Hadith having opposite meaning).

Sato–Bäcklund transformations and string equations of the mKP hierarchy

Additional symmetry is an important kind of symmetries depending explicitly on the time and space variables, which can be expressed through Sato–Bäcklund transformations. In this paper, we construct Sato–Bäcklund transformations of the modified KP hierarchy and its constrained cases. Then the string equations of the [Formula: see text]-reduced modified KP hierarchy are established by requiring the system independent on some additional symmetry flows, which are expressed by the Lax operator [Formula: see text] and the Orlov–Shulman’s operator [Formula: see text]. At last, we obtain the negative Virasoro constraint on the two tau functions of the 2-reduced modified KP hierarchy satisfying the string equations.

Moral Rights

The concept of moral rights is prominent in much ethical and political thought. This chapter argues that utilitarians can and should give an account of the existence of moral rights. It surveys existing utilitarian accounts of rights, before developing a novel indirect theory of them. According to this theory, rights are structures of reasons and abilities to change reasons. These reasons are pattern-based reasons to participate in beneficial patterns of behaviour and motivation. If we can explain moral rights in this way, we can explain one important kind of moral constraint, such as the constraint against torture, and we can also explain the distinction between acting wrongly and wronging someone. The chapter ends by discussing whether rights are, on this view, too contingent on facts.

On Neutrosophic Offuninorms

Uninorms comprise an important kind of operator in fuzzy theory. They are obtained from the generalization of the t-norm and t-conorm axiomatic. Uninorms are theoretically remarkable, and furthermore, they have a wide range of applications. For that reason, when fuzzy sets have been generalized to others—e.g., intuitionistic fuzzy sets, interval-valued fuzzy sets, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets, or neutrosophic sets—then uninorm generalizations have emerged in those novel frameworks. Neutrosophic sets contain the notion of indeterminacy—which is caused by unknown, contradictory, and paradoxical information—and thus, it includes, aside from the membership and non-membership functions, an indeterminate-membership function. Also, the relationship among them does not satisfy any restriction. Along this line of generalizations, this paper aims to extend uninorms to the framework of neutrosophic offsets, which are called neutrosophic offuninorms. Offsets are neutrosophic sets such that their domains exceed the scope of the interval [0,1]. In the present paper, the definition, properties, and application areas of this new concept are provided. It is necessary to emphasize that the neutrosophic offuninorms are feasible for application in several fields, as we illustrate in this paper.
