we show that the category of convergence approach spaces is a simultaneously reective and coreective subcategory of the category of latticevalued limit spaces. further we study the preservation of diagonal conditions, which characterize approach spaces. it is shown that the category of preapproach spaces is a simultaneously reective and coreective subcategory of the category of lattice-valued p...

We show that the category of convergence approach spaces is a simultaneously reective and coreective subcategory of the category of latticevalued limit spaces. Further we study the preservation of diagonal conditions, which characterize approach spaces. It is shown that the category of preapproach spaces is a simultaneously reective and coreective subcategory of the category of lattice-valued p...

'Space and place are central to the strategies and meaning of protest’ (p. xi) reads the opening sentence of Katrina Navickas's latest study, Protest and the Politics of Space and Place 1789–1848. Written, in part, as a response to the 'spatial turn' in History, Navickas makes a cogent and persuasive argument for attending to the importance of the particularities of 'place' rather than the abst...

BACKGROUND This paper analyzes the experience of crowding through a biopsychosocial approach to human behavior which empirically joins different dimensions that the literature has analyzed separately. The main aim consists of identifying factors involved in perceived crowding from (a) the emotional response and affective meaning (BIO dimension); (b) the perception of psychological well-being an...

This paper discusses the design space of believable social robots. We synthesise ideas and concepts from areas as diverse as comics design and rehabilitation robotics. First, we revisit the work of the Japanese researcher Masahiro Mori in the context of recent developments in social robots. Next, we discuss work in the arts into comics design, an area which has dealt for decades with the proble...

The purpose of privacy protection is dual, as it aims to both prevent, as well as cure privacy breaches. The starting point to develop such a privacy protection framework is the investigation and the definition of the privacy breach concept. A widely acceptable answer to this is provided by the privacy protection regulation, which however does not provide a precise enough definition of the priv...

This article explores the notion of the dislocated self following deep brain stimulation (DBS) and concludes that when personal identity is understood in dynamic, narrative, and relational terms, the claim that DBS is a threat to personal identity is deeply problematic. While DBS may result in profound changes in behaviour, mood and cognition (characteristics closely linked to personality), it ...
