Simple: A Proposal For A Synchronous Internet Music Performance Learning Environment, Fredrick Miller
Simple: A Proposal For A Synchronous Internet Music Performance Learning Environment, Fredrick Miller
Fred Miller
This paper proposes an Internet based e-learning environment for building ensemble playing proficiency for musicians. With the growing availability of broadband connections, the Internet offers new opportunities for musicians to play together synchronously from disparate locations. An e-learning environment for ensemble music performance would facilitate and simplify the creation of ensemble performance skills by offering a number of services for musicians. It would emphasize the learning of tacit musical knowledge particularly important to improvisational music performances. The heart of this e-learning initiative is the use of a proposed new tool set to enable real-time synchronous rehearsals among musicians at different …

Altruism, Impartiality And Moral Demands, Jurgen De Wispelaere
Altruism, Impartiality And Moral Demands, Jurgen De Wispelaere
Jurgen De Wispelaere
Advocates of altruism maintain that altruism is an inherently beneficial and, therefore, morally desirable motivational disposition towards furthering other people’s good. In this paper I dispute this claim by showing various ways in which altruism might come into conflict with plausible moral demands. The underlying problem is always one of moral myopia, an altruistic blind spot that interferes with altruism’s capacity to track moral demands. To resolve the moral dilemmas associated with altruism, I argue, we need to embed altruistic dispositions in a more comprehensive moral framework. I propose that a theory of impartiality might succeed in embedding altruism in …

Observations On The Aboriginal Remains In Eastern New Jersey: The Notebook Of Charles F. Woolley, 1878-1881, Megan E. Springate
Megan E. Springate
Charles F. Woolley was a school teacher and avocational archaeologist in New Jersey in the late nineteenth century. One of his notebooks, which survives in a local history repository, includes details of his collection, which was largely prehistoric. Information from the notebook was used to identify site locations, and to track down several artifacts that Woolley had donated. I have removed specific site location information from this publicly available version of the conference paper.

Bishop Connop Thirlwall: Historian Of Ancient Greece, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
Bishop Connop Thirlwall: Historian Of Ancient Greece, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
Kyriakos N. Demetriou
The purpose of this article is to revisit and reappraise Connop Thirlwall’s much-neglected 8-volume History of Greece (London, 1835-1844). It is shown that the historical work of the great classicist and theologian represents the practical embodiment of the spirit of transition between partisan and “scientific”, as called at the time, historiography. Constituting a bridge between the old and the new, and having fulfilled its role, Thirlwall’s work was destined to sink into oblivion, virtually obscured in the shadow of George Grote’s Greece.
A 'Legend' In Crisis: The Debate Over Plato's Politics, 1930-1960, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
A 'Legend' In Crisis: The Debate Over Plato's Politics, 1930-1960, Kyriakos N. Demetriou
Kyriakos N. Demetriou
From the early 1930s to the early 1960s many scholars, whether liberal-minded or socialist ideologues, Marxist or scientific positivists, classical scholars or political theorists and historians, have shown a widespread consensus in discrediting and assailing the man and political philosopher Plato. Such an extensive assault led the ‘Platonic Legend’ to an unprecedented crisis. Philosophically, it was a reaction to the undisguised Platonolatry coming from Oxford and the school of the British Idealists. Ideologically, the appropriation of Plato by Nazi apologists fostered further this vehement indictment. But a lot of other causes worked to the same effect. The general anguish and …

Media Advisers - Shadow Players In Political Communication, Richard Phillipps
Media Advisers - Shadow Players In Political Communication, Richard Phillipps
Richard Phillipps
Extract:Synopsis:It is a commonplace in political communication that the news media mediate wider political realities to their audiences. The extent to which that news content is itself mediated by others is a more ambiguous and problematic area. Perhaps because it is rarely directly visible to the public, the work of media advisers or press secretaries has become the subject of much speculation, with sweeping claims about their power. This thesis systematically explores the role of media advisers, a backroom group sometimes labelled spin-doctors or minders. Until now, this pivotal group in democratic political communication has not been the focus of …

Möglichkeiten Für Das Realisieren Einer Einfachen Kontrollierten Sprache, Uwe Muegge
Möglichkeiten Für Das Realisieren Einer Einfachen Kontrollierten Sprache, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
Es ist in Fachkreisen bekannt, dass viele internationale Großunternehmen Kontrollierte Sprachen einsetzen. Beispiele für derartige Unternehmen sind Caterpillar, Siemens und BMW. Es ist dagegen kaum bekannt, dass es kostengünstige Regelwerke und Werkzeuge für das Arbeiten mit einer Kontrollierten Sprache gibt. Ich möchte mit diesem Artikel kurz in dieses spannende Thema einführen und verschiedene Möglichkeiten für das Realisieren einer einfachen Kontrollierten Sprache zeigen.
Machine Translation Report, Uwe Muegge
Machine Translation Report, Uwe Muegge
Uwe Muegge
This machine translation project involved post-editing (in a customized Trados environment) a typical guide section originally translated in a standard machine-translation system. This process was carefully monitored and we were able to measure how the translation productivity possible in this type of integrated machine translation environment compares to the translation productivity typical for our existing translation process. The results of this initial project are very encouraging: Our tests indicate a productivity gain of approx. 40%.

Foucault À Luz De Heidegger: Notas Sobre O Sujeito Autônomo E O Sujeito Constituído, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Foucault À Luz De Heidegger: Notas Sobre O Sujeito Autônomo E O Sujeito Constituído, Andre De Macedo Duarte
Andre de Macedo Duarte
Partindo da distinção informal proposta por Foucault entre os filósofos sobre os quais ele escreveu, e aqueles a partir de cuja leitura ele orientou seu próprio pensamento, pretendo mostrar que a filosofia de Heidegger permite iluminar certos aspectos difíceis e problemáticos do pensamento foucaultiano, sobretudo aqueles relativos ao seu derradeiro interesse pela constituição ética do ‘si mesmo’ autônomo. O problema que cumpre discutir aqui reside em que nos textos das fases arqueológica e genealógica, Foucault tornara-se célebre por demonstrar a constituição do ‘homem’ por uma trama de discursos de saber e de relações poder, em análises que desmontaram impiedosamente as …
Questionnaires In Dictionary Use Research: A Reexamination, Robert Lew
Questionnaires In Dictionary Use Research: A Reexamination, Robert Lew
Robert Lew
The present paper re-examines the usefulness of questionnaires in dictionary use research, using Glynn Hatherall's well-known criticism of questionnaires as a starting point. It is argued here that charges directed at questionnaires apply equally easily to the alternatives suggested by Hatherall. It is claimed that some research questions require a questionnaire approach. It is also demonstrated through example that unreliability of questionnaire-based studies may well result from design factors unrelated to questionnaires themselves. Use of multiple methods and careful design is advocated. Finally, suggestions are offered for improving questionnaire design in dictionary use research.
A Study In The Use Of Bilingual And Monolingual Dictionaries By Polish Learners Of English: A Preliminary Report, Robert Lew
Robert Lew
The paper presents a selection of results from a study investigating dictionary use by 712 Polish learners of English representing a variety of FL competence levels and backgrounds. Data from Learner Survey, experiment, and Teacher Survey are brought in to test hypotheses relating to a variety of aspects of dictionary use. Here two aspects have been selected for presentation. First, frequency with which learners seek different types of information in their dictionaries is analyzed. It is found that the need for meaning and equivalents dominates over non-semantic information at all levels but the highest. At the advanced level, interest in …

Thomas Kuhn E A Psicossociologia Da Pesquisa Científica, Paulo S. Peres
Paulo S. Peres
O objetivo deste texto é introduzir alguns elementos analíticos básicos para uma reflexão acerca da Filosofia das Ciências de Thomas Kuhn e de sua proposição de uma nova historiografia científica. Para isso, são discutidos sua concepção acerca da atividade científica, seus conceitos principais [paradigma, ciência normal, anomalia científica, revolução científica, comunidade, etc.] e as conseqüências epistemológicas advindas de sua discussão positiva.
Epistemologia Sem Sujeito: A Filosofia Das Ciências Proposta Por Karl Popper, Paulo S. Peres
Epistemologia Sem Sujeito: A Filosofia Das Ciências Proposta Por Karl Popper, Paulo S. Peres
Paulo S. Peres
O objetivo do texto é discutir algumas das propostas centrais da epistemologia de Karl Popper. Para isso, serão tratados dois conjuntos de problemas. Em primeiro lugar, serão abordadas a questão da indução e a concepção de ciência associada à preferência por esse método. Em segundo lugar, serão discutidas as observações centrais que o autor fez a respeito do problema da indução e a falha lógica e metodológica do indutivismo na demarcação da ciência.
