This paper argues that our understanding of many human-robot relations can be enhanced by comparisons with human-animal relations and by a phenomenological approach which highlights the significance of how robots appear to humans. Some potential gains of this approach are explored by discussing the concept of alterity, diversity and change in human-robot relations, Heidegger’s claim that animal...

social capital is the one the most multidiscipline concept that have special effects to facility human relations in the society. these effects showing themselves as consequences in thought of social sciences scientist and philosopher in various arena. according to theories considered different consequences for social capital that we examine some of them in this study. the method was survey. we ...

[Excerpt] The revitalization perspective is hardly new. With deep roots in both labor movement history and industrial relations research, such work was marginalized for much of the postwar period both in union strategy and in the field of industrial relations. What is new is the rather sudden arrival of revitalization research in the mainstream of industrial relations along with a broader liter...

We present a topological method for the detection of normally hyperbolic type invariant sets for maps. The invariant set covers the submanifold without a boundary in Rk. For the method to hold we only need to assume that the movement of the system transversal to the manifold has directions of topological expansion and contraction. The movement in the direction of the manifold can be arbitrary. ...

Objective: To evaluate the effect of equine assisted therapy (EAT) in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Design: Prospective single-blinded clinical trial. Setting/location: SpiritHorse Therapeutic Riding Center, Corinth, Texas. Methods: Sixty children ranging from 2 to 14 years of age with a diagnosis of ASD participated in this study. During 10 weeks, all patients received EAT on...

Uncertainty, spatial or temporal errors, variability, are classic themes in the study of human and animal behaviors. Several theoretical approaches 1 and concepts have been adopted to tackle those issues, often considering the CNS as an observer, using Shannon information and entropy, signal to noise ratio, and recently a Bayesian approach, and free energy minimization. In the coordination dyna...

The construct validity of maternal mind-mindedness (MM) was investigated in the context of its relations with children's later understanding of mind. MM measures were obtained from infant-mother (N = 52) interactions at 6 months, and from maternal interviews at 48 months. Children's understanding of mind was assessed using theory of mind (ToM) tasks at 45 and 48 months, and a stream of consciou...

The paper briefly recalls the concepts of photogrammetric analysis of video sequences for the study of human movements. The concepts of real-time processing, calibration and orientation and multi-image correspondences are outlines. Standard multi-camera systems as well as monocular approaches are reported and discussed.

A traditional movement step relates a single source position to a single c-commanding target position, and never moves an argument to another argument position. But head movement involves non-c-command relations, and control relates two argument positions that are not always in a c-command relation. Special mechanisms could be invoked for these things, but a different strategy slightly generali...
