Trustworthy Ai: Prohibited Practices, Ethical Principles, And The Identification Of Problems, Anna Karmańska Dec 2025

Trustworthy Ai: Prohibited Practices, Ethical Principles, And The Identification Of Problems, Anna Karmańska

Journal of Global Awareness

The following considerations arise from the study of texts of documents of a legal nature and from the author’s judgments. They do not present the results of the author’s own empirical research; however, they constitute a factual study that is important for their undertaking in the next step. Having given concern but also hopes for AI, the author focuses her attention on issues that, not only in her opinion, have a strong bearing on the preservation of humanity in a digital environment and at the same time with technocratic features. These issues (prohibited practices, high-risk systems, and ethics) related to …

Parametric Vector Modelling Of Laser And Image Surveys Of 17th Century Classical Architecture In Dublin, Maurice Murphy Dr, Eugene Mcgovern, Sara Pavia Dec 2025

Parametric Vector Modelling Of Laser And Image Surveys Of 17th Century Classical Architecture In Dublin, Maurice Murphy Dr, Eugene Mcgovern, Sara Pavia

Journal of Academic Research and Innovation

The product of a laser scan survey of a building or artefact is a point cloud which defines the geometry of the object, and when combined with image data the object edges and material textures can be identified. The point cloud survey is useful for visualisation and also as a record of the 3D surfaces of an object. Where conserva-tion or restoration work is to be carried out on the object conventional orthographic or 3D survey drawings are required. Survey drawings can be created by mapping vectors on to the point cloud or textured point cloud. This is a complex …

Developing Historic Building Information Modelling Guidelines And Procedures For Architectural Heritage In Ireland, Maurice Murphy Dr, A. Corns Dec 2025

Developing Historic Building Information Modelling Guidelines And Procedures For Architectural Heritage In Ireland, Maurice Murphy Dr, A. Corns

Journal of Academic Research and Innovation

Cultural heritage researchers have recently begun applying Building Information Modelling (BIM) to historic buildings. The model is comprised of intelligent objects with semantic attributes which represent the elements of a building structure and are organised within a 3D virtual environment. Case studies in Ireland are used to test and develop the suitable systems for (a) data capture/digital surveying/processing (b) developing library of architectural components and (c) mapping these architectural components onto the laser scan or digital survey to relate the intelligent virtual representation of a historic structure (HBIM). While BIM platforms have the potential to create a virtual and intelligent …

Current State Of Art Historic Building Information Modelling, Conor Dore Dr, Maurice Murphy Dr Dec 2025

Current State Of Art Historic Building Information Modelling, Conor Dore Dr, Maurice Murphy Dr

Journal of Academic Research and Innovation

In an extensive review of existing literature a number of observations were made in relation to the current approaches for recording and modelling existing buildings and environments: Data collection and pre-processing techniques are becoming increasingly automated to allow for near real-time data capture and fast processing of this data for later modelling applications. Current BIM software is almost completely focused on new buildings and has very limited tools and pre-defined libraries for modelling existing and historic buildings. The development of reusable parametric library objects for existing and historic buildings supports modelling with high levels of detail while decreasing the modelling …

Historic Building Information Modelling - Adding Intelligence To Laser And Image Based Surveys, Maurice Murphy Dr, Eugene Mcgovern, Sara Pavia

Journal of Academic Research and Innovation

Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) is a novel prototype library of parametric objects based on historic data and a system of cross platform programmes for mapping parametric objects onto a point cloud and image survey data. The HBIM process be-gins with remote collection of survey data using a terrestrial laser scanner combined with digital photo modelling. The next stage in-volves the design and construction of a parametric library of objects, which are based on the manuscripts ranging from Vitruvius to 18th century architectural pattern books. In building parametric objects, the problem of file format and exchange of data has been …

Publication Overview, Maurice Murphy Dr., Anne Murphy (Editor) Dr., Garrett Keenaghan Dr.

Journal of Academic Research and Innovation

Recent years have seen considerable advances in methods for virtual representation, digital recording, and documentation of built heritage. Despite these technological developments, the cultural heritage sector in Ireland has yet to fully embrace and integrate these innovations into standard practice. A clear gap remains between research-driven advancements and practical, widespread application within heritage organisations and among professionals. Bridging this gap is essential to ensuring that new approaches become embedded in the everyday workflows of the sector.

An Unfolding Vision Of Transformation: A Comparison Of The S/Spirit Motif In Romans 8 And Jubilees 1:19-26, Lemuel J. Godinez Dec 2025

An Unfolding Vision Of Transformation: A Comparison Of The S/Spirit Motif In Romans 8 And Jubilees 1:19-26, Lemuel J. Godinez

Spiritus: ORU Journal of Theology

This study compares the role of the s/Spirit motif in Paul’s writing and that of a Second Temple Jewish theologian’s. The books of Romans and Jubilees, respectively, appear to develop their language of renewal within a developing trajectory motifs in the Hebrew Scriptures, including “heart circumcision,” “new covenant,” and “the s/Spirit.” One would be hard-pressed to prove intertextuality between Romans and Jubilees (which this study does not claim). Yet, the renewal description in Romans 8 is evocatively similar to Jubilees 1:19–26. Paul may therefore have developed his portrayal and narration of the Spirit in the vein of Second Temple thought. …

The Architecture Of Annihilation: Freud’S Death Drive In King And Siddons, Aubrianna Markus Dec 2025

The Architecture Of Annihilation: Freud’S Death Drive In King And Siddons, Aubrianna Markus

Best Integrated Writing

Sigmund Freud’s theory of the death drive, or Thanatos, indicates a deeper psychological framework for interpreting the horror in both texts. Freud argues that human beings possess an unconscious compulsion toward repetition, destruction, and a return to an inorganic state. In The Shining and The House Next Door, haunted spaces operate as an externalization of this death drive, revealing that the true source of horror lies not in external supernatural forces, but in the irresistible pull toward self-destruction inherent in the human psyche.

Nekuomanteion Or Mafia Front: Was Acheron Legit?, Wesley Green

Best Integrated Writing

Oracles of the dead, or nekuomanteia as they were often called in Ancient Greek, have come to be a more frequently discussed element of Classical Antiquity in recent years, and some scholars might go as far as to argue that they were a legitimate part of Greek and Roman society, with some believing that famous consultations of these oracles from authors such as Plutarch and Herodotus are but mythologized legends that recall real types of consultations from Antiquity. However, upon closer examination of the primary sources and archaeological evidence, one begins to doubt whether the modern interpretation of the ancient …
