Could Artificial Intelligence (AI) play an active role in delivering pastoral care? The question rests not only on whether AI could be considered autonomous agent, but such agent support the depths of relationship with humans which is essential to genuine care. Theological consideration status human-AI relations heavily influenced by Noreen Herzfeld, who utilises Karl Barth's I-Thou encounters ...

Issues relating to training design, evaluation and transfer are relevant to the Australian alcohol and other drugs (AOD) field due to their virtual absence from the literature. Whilst the AOD field has attempted to identify the composition and roles of frontline AOD workers, efforts to identify, measure and respond to workplace factors that may enhance or inhibit the transfer of training outcom...

ABSRACT Let G be a classical group of type I. For an irreducible unitary representation, Howe defined the notion of rank in analytic terms. On the algebraic side, there is the theory of primitive ideals and associated variety. In the first part of this thesis, we relate Howe's rank with the associated variety. In the second part, We study the Bargmann-Segal model of the oscillator representatio...

'If you chance to have in Cure an Apostume, that by the malignitie of the humors, or other evill disposition of the body changeth itselfe into a rebellious Ulcer . .. or that such an Ulcer come to thy hand from another Artist, be not out of hope to cure the same. For if Nature be not utterly thy enemy . . . proceeding as followeth, thou shalt be able to cure the disease, by the helpe of God.' J...

the purpose of this study was to analyze the philosophical hermeneutics of gadamer، and show its implications for the attainment of self-understanding، otherness- understanding and together – understand in education. to achieve this objective، descriptive research methods and conceptual analysis of the qualitative research approach was used in. this study، the theoretical foundations and philos...

253 news & views reactions. Furthermore, it was found that AB-functionalized building blocks were prone to intramolecular cyclization on the DNA template, whereas much better intermolecular coupling efficiences were achieved by using mixtures of AA-and BB-modified building blocks. A range of coupling chemistries were explored, including amine acylation, reductive amination, hydrazine formation ...

Web image search today is mostly keyword-based and explores the content surrounding the image. Searching for images related to a certain location quickly shows that Web images typically do not reveal their explicit relation to an actual geographic position. The geographic semantics of Web images are either not available at all or hidden somewhere within the the Web pages’ content. Our spatial s...

Such differences in white blood cell (WBC) count could clearly impact on disease course. Ahuja and colleagues previously reported that DARC-null individuals show increased susceptibility to HIV infection, but slower HIV disease progression once infected. 2 In this issue of Blood, Kulkarni et al examine associations among WBC count, DARC genotype, and survival in a large natural history cohort o...

Centrality measures have been defined to quantify the importance of a node in complex networks. The relative importance of a node can be measured using its centrality rank based on the centrality value. In the present work, we predict the degree centrality rank of a node without having the entire network. The proposed method uses degree of the node and some network parameters to predict its ran...
