In this paper, we discuss the role of topology as a predictor for the conceptualization of dynamically changing spatial configurations (referred to as movement patterns). We define meaningful units of movement patterns as paths through a topologically defined conceptual neighborhood graph. Topology plays a central role in formal approaches to human cognition and in predicting cognitive similari...

the word relation is a new concept that did not used in its today`s meaning one hundred and fifty years ago. in spite of this situation, its substitute concepts like friendliness is used in nahj ul-balāghah many times and each of them express varieties & places in general relation between human and god and other relations. on the whole, we face four relations: human relation with god, himself a...

This article explores power relations between clinicians, patients and families as clinicians engage in patient-centred ethical work. Specifically, we draw on actor-network theory to interrogate the role of non-human elements in distributing power relations in clinical settings, as clinicians attempt to manage the expectations of patients and families. Using the activities of a multidisciplinar...

accommodation of mechanism with human being’s physical characteristics creates the possibility of safe and efficient interaction between human being and robot. regarding the fact that amputation of a limb in human beings causes several mental, economical and social difficulties and problems, need to a substitute limb which has the most efficiency for the person after amputation is a vital need....

Based on the smooth transition model for conceptual neighborhood graphs among binary topological relations, an extended model, the movement model, is proposed. A neighborhood relation between two topological relations describes one of the possible movements of one object with respect to the second one. The example of the construction of the graph for line-zone relations is provided. Such extend...

Bacteria, pigs, rats, pots, plants, words, bones, stones, earrings, diseases, and genetic indicators of all varieties are markers and proxies for the complexity of interweaving trails and stories integral to understanding human movement and knowledge assemblage in Southeast Asia and around the world. Understanding human movement and knowledge assemblage is central to comprehending the genetic b...

Movement patterns of individual entities at the geographic scale are becoming a prominent research focus in spatial sciences. One pertinent question is how cognitive and formal characterizations of movement patterns relate. In other words, are (mostly qualitative) formal characterizations cognitively adequate? This article experimentally evaluates movement patterns that can be characterized as ...
