Here we explore the possibility to obtain a non-relativistic proof of the spin-statistics theorem. First, we examine the structure of axioms and theorems involved in a relativistic Schwinger-like proof of the spin-statistics relation. Second, starting from this structure we identify the relativistic assumptions. Last, we reformulate these assumptions in order to obtain a Galilean proof. We conc...

The studies of teacher learning and professional communities have arisen received considerable attention in recent decades. Some researchers argue that the institutional cultural contexts should be taken into consideration when examining issues related to PLCs. Being an approach which takes a systematic critical reflection on content written text, this study adopts hermeneutics disclose concept...

Based on a review of the literature ethnography produced by translation scholars over past twenty years, this contribution explores how studies [TS] has appropriat­ed concept, first as way to solve problems (with Eugene Nida), then an object (within cultural turn) and more recently research methodology document analyze interpreting events in context. The author shows how, early seventies, both ...

Originally, hermeneutics was the interpretation of important texts. In 19th century, transformed into a science about meaning and all expressions. 20th Martin Heidegger radicalized hermeneutics, indicating that understanding (the essence hermeneutics) is not technical or intellectual operation, but way being. The central point reference in article hermeneutic philosophy Hans-Georg Gadamer Paul ...

APART (A Posteriori Active ReplicaTion) is a recently proposed active replication protocol specifically tailored for multi-tier data acquisition systems. It ensures consistency of middle-tier sink replicas by means of an a-posteriori synchronization phase based on reconciliation, which is activated only in case replicas react to an input message from the sensors by generating an output event de...

The hype that big data will improve healthcare delivery is extraordinary. However, the reality of actually translating big data insights into meaningful healthcare improvements is far more limited. Substantial challenges exist. Variability in data standards and interoperatability prevent efficient linkage of health data. Regulatory and privacy concerns regarding the widespread dissemination and...
