Replications are often taken to play both epistemic and demarcating roles in science: they provide evidence about the reliability of fields’ methods and, by extension, which fields “count” as scientific. I argue that, a field characterized high degree theoretical openness uncertainty, like comparative cognition, replications do not sit well these roles. Like other experiments conducted under co...

‘Faith’ is one of Christianity's most significant, distinctive and complex concepts practices, but Christian understandings faith in the patristic period have received surprisingly little attention. This article explores two aspects what Augustine terms fides qua , ‘the by which believers believe’. From early second century, belief truth doctrine becomes increasingly significant to Christians; ...

In this article the author reviews interrelationship between faith and reason in steps of John Paul II’s Encyclical Letter Fides et ratio. He explores briefly historical circumstances following Etienne Gilson. Then, he introduces philosophical theological considerations Cornelio Fabro to do theology footsteps Aquinas. From perspective Thomism Italian philosopher by recalling most urgent tasks f...

In this paper, we are interested in finding a numerical solution of linear BVP for Fredholm IDE with degenerate kernel subjected to impulsive actions. By Dzumabaev’s parametrization method the original problem is reduced multipoint system IDEs additional parameters. For fixed parameters, special Cauchy FIDEs on subintervals obtained and by using problem, algebraic equations parameters construct...

Abstract In this work, a technique for finding approximate solutions ordinary fraction differential equations (OFDEs) of any order has been proposed. The method is hybrid between Galerkin and collocation methods. Also, can be extended to fractional integro-differential (FIDEs) optimal control problems (FOCPs). spatial approximations with their derivatives are based on shifted ultraspherical pol...

The COVID-19 pandemic is compelling us to make crucial data-driven decisions quickly, bringing together diverse and unreliable sources of information without the usual quality control mechanisms we may employ. These are consequential at multiple levels: They can inform local, state, national government policy, be used schedule access physical resources such as elevators workspaces within an org...
