Towards A Critical Philosophy Of Science: Continental Beginnings And Bugbears, Whigs, And Waterbears, Babette Babich

Articles and Chapters in Academic Book Collections

Continental philosophy of science has developed alongside mainstream analytic philosophy of science. But where continental approaches are inclusive, analytic philosophies of science are not – excluding not merely Nietzsche’s philosophy of science but Gödel’s philosophy of physics. As a radicalization of Kant, Nietzsche’s critical philosophy of science puts science in question and Nietzsche’s critique of the methodological foundations of classical philology bears on science, particularly evolution as well as style (in art and science). In addition to the critical (in Mach, Nietzsche, Heidegger but also Husserl just to the extent that continental philosophy of science tends to depart from a …

Advanced Signal Processing Techniques For Single Trial Electroencephalography Signal Classification For Brain Computer Interface Applications, Kun Li

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is a direct communication channel between brain and computer. It allows the users to control the environment without the need to control muscle activity [1-2]. P300-Speller is a well known and widely used BCI system that was developed by Farwell and Donchin in 1988 [3]. The accuracy level of the P300-BCI Speller as measured by the percent of communicated characters correctly identified by the system depends on the ability to detect the P300 event related potential (ERP) component among the ongoing electroencephalography (EEG) signal. Different techniques have been tested to reduce the number of trials needed …

Stališča Do Spletnega Oglaševanja In Vpliv Na Vedenje Mladih, Milena Fornazarič

Economic and Business Review

Today's children and adolescents are the first fully digital generation, changing the rules of how we use information technology, communication and marketing. In the article, I addressed the model of attitudes/values/behaviours to Internet advertising among children by reviewing the existing literature, starting by critically reviewing existing models for adults. The article describes the structure and methodology of the research (operationalisation of variables, data collection, reliability and validity of measurement, hypothesis development) and the sample characteristics (young people in Slovenia). We analysed the results obtained, tested the hypotheses, and evaluated the adequacy of the proposed research model for attitudes/values/behaviours to online …

Identifikacija Zaposlenih Z Organizacijo Ali S Stroko: Primer Slovenskih Računovodij In Revizorjev, Eva Repovš, Robert Kaše

Economic and Business Review

The concepts of organizational and occupational identification have been identified as key factors in workplace morale and behaviour. Through a survey, we determined the extent of both concepts and the link between them among Slovenian accountants and auditors. The results show that Slovenian accountants and auditors identify more with the organization than with the profession, and the level of both identifications is relatively low. Based on the results, we conclude that cultivating employees' professional identification should be in the interest of companies, as there is a positive relationship between professional and organizational identification and the latter has important positive effects …

My Plan To Play: A Personal Journey Towards A Lifetime Of Play, Aimee Blaquiere

Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection

In my first Critical and Creative Thinking course, I chose to explore singing and performing meaningful songs with my father as a form of creative thinking. This project led to the realization that, as an adult, I had forgotten what it was like to play. With this acknowledgement, I was prompted to explore underlying reasons for why my capacity to play was blocked in the first place. In doing so, I explored play theories and reflected on my own forms of play, as a basis for understanding how to successfully re-introduce play into my life. Through metacognitive reflection, this synthesis …

Application Of Shewhart Cycle Of "Plan-Do-Check-Act" Model To Improve The Waiting Time In Clinical Rehabilitation Therapy, Wen-Hsuan Lin, Ru-Lan Hsieh, Pei-Jei Tsai

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The Shewhart cycle ”Plan-Do-Check-Act” (PDCA) can be applied by organizations as a model for designing, checking, evaluating, improving, or re-designing plans to improve the quality of service. We applied the PDCA model to clinical rehabilitation services in Taiwan and discussed its effects on the improvement in waiting time. Three issues facing current clinical rehabilitation services were proposed by the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in a medical center to which PDCA was applied: (1) arranging occupational therapy for in-patients within 3 days after consultation, (2) shortening the waiting time for therapy in children with developmental delays, and (3) shortening …

Antecedents And Consequences Of Channel Alienation: An Empirical Investigation Within Franchised Channels Of Distribution, Ivan Lapuka

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Investigating an important overlooked phase of interorganizational relationship evolution, which is currently hypothesized to progress through five stages of awareness, exploration, expansion, commitment, and dissolution, this dissertation proposes that in the long road between commitment and dissolution, the quintessential interfirm relationship is likely to be characterized by aprolonged period of relationship alienation, which then becomes the immediate precursor to the dissolution stage.

The dissertation utilizes social learning theory, behavior constraint theory, and alienation theory to explain apathetic behaviors of franchisees. The principal proposition is that certain characteristics of the franchise system’s operating environment inadvertently condition franchisee estrangement and failure, and …

Down, But Not Out: An Ethnographic Study Of Women Who Struggled With And Overcame Methamphetamine Addiction, Jodi Nettleton

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Women suffer methamphetamine (meth) addiction at a rate much higher than rates for addiction to other drugs. Female meth users are susceptible and predisposed to gender-related risks: high rates of unprotected vaginal and anal sex, sex-work, and sexual coercion. Precursors for addiction (e.g., abuse, body dysphasia) put females in a difficult position for recovery and highlight the need for gender-specific research and treatment.

Methamphetamine (a synthetically derived stimulant) creates psychological and physical dependency that affects every neuron of the brain and damages the body immediately. Women ingest meth for initial effects that allay social pressures: feeling euphoric, connecting with others …

Emotional Response And Its Relationship To The Completion Of 200 Free Swimming Pools, Iman Najm Al-Din, Alan Khorshid Rafiq

Modern Sport

Achieving high levels in the field of sports requires the integration of all administrative and scientific efforts within a country, as sports have become a multidisciplinary science that relies on various fields such as medicine, engineering, technology, psychology, physiology, biochemistry, and more. Sports psychology, in particular, plays a fundamental role in the training process, as without it, it becomes difficult for an athlete to reach peak performance and fully utilize their potential and talents. Athletic achievement is the core of the training process and reflects an athlete’s inner abilities, expressed through physical excellence and strong mental and emotional resilience. Psychological …

Various Medical Reel Exercises Are Used Or Weighed To Improve The Potency And Affect The Performance Of The Offensive Skills Of Virgin Women, Laqaa Abdullah Ali

Modern Sport

Training with medicine balls is considered one of the effective methods for enhancing players’ physical and skill levels, as it helps develop muscle strength in alignment with proper technical performance. This research aims to design specialized exercises using medicine balls of varying weights for women basketball players. One of the main hypotheses is that there are statistically significant differences between the pre- and post-tests in skill-related variables for both the experimental and control groups, particularly in favor of the post-tests.
