Flexible ferroelectric capacitors based on Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12/muscovite structure

Inorganic ferroelectrics which have low tensile strength and poor ductility are difficult to be bent. In this paper, in order to realize great toughness, the inorganic ferroelectric film was deposited on flexible muscovite (Mica) substrate. For efficiency and convenience, sol-gel method is adopted to fabricate the Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12 (BNT) thin-film capacitor on flexible Mica substrate with SrRuO3 (SRO) electrode layer. The remnant polarization of the Pt/BNT/SRO/CFO/Mica capacitor achieves ∼38 μC cm−2, which is larger than most BNT films prepared on hard substrates. No obvious fatigue phenomenon is observed for the BNT capacitor with 1010 switching cycles. The most important is that the Pt/BNT/SRO/CFO/Mica capacitor still owns relatively stable electrical properties when it is bent to 5 mm radius, showing an excellent bending performance for this structure. The flexible, anti-fatigue ferroelectric capacitor prepared in this paper is expected to get a wide range of application in flexible logic and elements for information storage, data processing and communication.

‘Audubonis not Audubon’: Journalism as communicative logic in the pages of an NGO-produced magazine, 1960–1976

Recent scholarship has noted the increased visibility of journalism that is subsidized or outright produced by non-governmental organizations, often tying the phenomenon to the post-millennial economic decline of news organizations and the digital revolution. This study demonstrates that non-governmental organizations engaged in communicative logics relying on norms and practices of journalism as early as 50 years ago. In the 1960s and 1970s, the National Audubon Society’s long-running magazine, Audubon, evolved from a bird-watching journal that relied on non-journalists as writers and value-laden personal narratives to a crusading example of advocacy journalism. The publication won a National Magazine Award for reporting excellence in 1976, signaling its acceptance into the journalistic establishment.

Pedagogical Beliefs about Critical Thinking among Indonesian Mathematics Pre-service Teachers

This study aims to (1) measure pre-service teachers’ pedagogical belief in the value of teaching Critical Thinking (CT), their preparedness to teach CT, and their preference toward constructivist teaching approaches to develop students’ CT skills; and (2) explore the potential links between these pedagogical beliefs and aspects of teacher education experience. Participants were 223 mathematics pre-service teachers from 3 teacher education institutions in East Java, Indonesia. Beliefs about the value of teaching CT and perceived readiness to teach CT were measured using Likert-type scales, while preference towards constructivist instruction was assessed using vignettes depicting teaching dilemmas. Participants believed that some CT skills (thinking independently and logical communication) were important, but CT dispositions were not. About 60% believed they are prepared to teach CT and generally preferred constructivist over traditional instruction. Most aspects of the pre-service education were not associated with pedagogical beliefs about CT disposition, perceived preparedness, or preference for constructivist instruction, while some were only weakly associated with belief about teaching CT skills. These highlight the need for mathematics teacher educators to give more emphasis on the importance of CT, especially its dispositional dimensions, and the role of constructivist instruction in developing CT.

Critique of Axiological Reason: Why the Idea of Values has Achieved the Totality in Modern Culture

The article deals with the question of applicability limits of the Value Theory in cultural studies and validity limits of contemporary value-based consciousness. This limit is set by differentiating between the Good and the Value; the difference was clear to ancient Greek and medieval philosophers, and the necessity of acknowledging which is returning to the philosophy today. The Good exists independently, it is a source of life and, therefore, supposes gratitude; values and evaluation come into question when “there is choice and its declination, when it is up to us to choose between action and inaction”. But the fact is that collective consciousness is now dominated by axiological rationality. Gnoseologically, the characteristic of this rationality is the substitution of the classical idea of truth by evaluation. Contemporary philosophy sees the question of how these or those Values emerge as a field of the critical analysis. No prominent school of philosophical thought places critical importance on Values, but Values are regarded as derivatives from various foundations: interests of a social class or a group, structures of the unconscious, language or communication logic, the nature of human existence, the sense of being. Consequently, axiological reason is seen as mythologically “naive”, which is also a reverse side and a victim of cynical reason. Theories, that attempt to define Values as foundations of the culture, reflect naivety of collective consciousness. Their major theoretical drawback is of the same nature: they oversee the difference between the Value and the Good. The author analyzes the essence of culture from the hermeneutical point of view, according to which culture is based on comprehension of meanings constituted by language, and Values are just what meanings manifest themselves through.

Collaboration Robots as Digital Doubles of Person for Communication in Public Life and Space

Trans-sectoral digital research of man, nature, society and industrial communication allows to create digital twins of social services. Digital duplicates associated with the service sector are created for intelligent process management. Digital twins of man provide services in the social sphere and in space. Training of digital twins in professional competences is carried out on the basis of communicative associative logic of technological thinking by cognitive methods. The study of the effectiveness of machine learning techniques, allowed the use of an approach that allows the combination of artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology. This approach provided pre-preparation of neural networks from accumulated data using existing behaviors. The approach combines existing scientific theories of human behavior with the flexibility of neural networks to make better decisions made by humans in space and in extreme situations. From a practical point of view, this makes it possible to more accurately determine the behavior of the human digital twin in space and in extreme situations. There are a number of socio-economic issues related to human-machine interaction. Complex technologies are not credible on the part of citizens. The coming years will take to improve safety and standardize the creation, application of digital twins and behavior of robots.

Organisation and Interaction

The theory of social systems claims to be a general theory of social phenomena. So far, this ambition has primarily been tested at the level of society and organisations. Operationalising systems theory at the level of interactions, however, has not been attempted to the same extent. This easily leads to the misunderstanding that the theory only applies to society and organisations. This is not the case. On the contrary, on several occasions Niklas Luhmann has addressed interaction in great detail as an independent form of communication with its own special characteristics and possibilities.1 But while Luhmann has defined the relationships that exist between interaction and society as a social system, he has not categorised the relationships that exist between interaction and organisations.2 This article will demonstrate that a detailed theoretical study of how these two independent types of social systems relate to each other can form the basis of specific empirical studies. Based on two empirical examples, the article will outline how it is possible to observe communicative dynamics, dilemmas, tensions and paradoxes, simply by differentiating between the logics of interactional and organisational communication.

Boolean AND and OR logic for cell signalling gateways: a communication perspective.

Cell signalling plays a vital role in development, sustaining, differentiation, and reproduction of cells. Pathways involved in signalling networks are quite interwoven and complex. Complexity encountered in understanding these pathways is often reduced with the help of Boolean circuit representation. In this study, the authors provide communication aspect of the signalling pathways that have two input Boolean logic AND/OR implemented at the rear effector protein. Communication is assumed to be taking place in extracellular and intracellular environment. The two environments are connected using a receptor protein acting as relay between a molecular source and effector protein. Each relay detects molecules from outside environment and stimulates the production of signals in the intracellular space. These signals/molecules further activate the effector protein which acts as a Boolean switch driven by AND/OR logic. Assuming Poisson reception at the relay as well as at the receiver, the authors provide probability of error of the AND and OR Boolean logic communication systems. Furthermore, reliability and some capacity bounds are deduced for the given Boolean communication system.

О целесообразности выделения коммуникативной логики текста в особую научную дисциплину

We demonstrate that communicative logic of text exists objectively, is distinct from conventional logic and deserves dedicated study. In order to highlight the difference between the two logics we contrast the typical flaws addressed by them. Conventional logic: non sequitur, vicious circle, false premise, hasty generalisation, the post hoc fallacy. Communicative logic: superfluous information, unjustified omission, misplaced elements, structural ambiguity. A large-scale experimental study of perception of communicatively deficient texts allowed us to formulate a set of rules aimed at constructing, assessing and improving texts with confidence and precision.

Б.С. Мучник — создатель психолого-стилистической теории письменной коммуникации

The article provides an account of the career and principal results of B.S. Muchnik, a founder of the modern practical stylistics and the theory of editing. It gives a summary of the psycho-stylistic theory of written communication, which was proposed by Muchnik on the basis of a large-scale experimental study that utilised objective psychological methods developed by him. It then focuses on the practical importance of the theory, on the basis of which a series of methodological papers and textbooks have been published by Muchnik. The article further addresses the originality and considerable analytic and instructive power of the communicative logic of text which, as convincingly argued by Muchnik, should be taught both at school and at the university level.

Seeking Common Cause between Cognitive Science and Ethnography: Alternative Logic in Cooperative Action

Abstract Alternative logics have been invoked periodically to explain the systematically different modes of thought of the subjects of ethnography: one logic for ‘us’ and another for ‘them’. Recently anthropologists have cast doubt on the tenability of such an explanation of difference. In cognitive science, [Stenning and van Lambalgen, 2008] proposed that with the modern development of multiple logics, at least several logics are required for making sense of the cognitive processes of reasoning for different purposes and in different contexts. Alongside Classical logic (CL) — the logic of dispute), there is a need for a nonmonotonic logic (LP) which is a logic of cooperative communication. Here we propose that all people with various cultural backgrounds make use of multiple logics, and that difference should be captured as variation in the social contexts that call forth the different logics’ application. This contribution illustrates these ideas with reference to the ethnography of divination.

IO public communication and discursive inclusion: how the UN reported the Arms Trade Treaty process to a global audience

International organisations (IOs) are increasingly going public by pursuing proactive public communication. How is this trend changing the terms under which global public debates on international issues take place? The article argues that IO public communication may have highly problematic repercussions for public discourse, because it tends to prioritise some voices, while marginalising others. I discuss a problematic prioritisation/marginalisation of voices in relation to three logics of public communication. First, as public information, public communication privileges organisational leaders by heralding their official narrative of goals, internal processes and outside action. Second, as governance, it strategically sides with norm entrepreneurs and orchestrates advocacy campaigns. Third, as self-legitimation, it seeks to construct symbolically procedural fairness and inclusiveness. Based on these logics, public communication may play a questionable role in marginalising critics of IO policies and procedures while facilitating public (mis)perceptions of its democratic credentials and the depoliticisation of institutional inequalities. My argument is illustrated by the results obtained from a combined reconstructive and quantitative text analysis of the United Nations’ communications in the Arms Trade Treaty process.

Target detection and recognition algorithm for moving UAV based on machine vision

To solve the shortcomings that current robot vision system accuracy is instable, unit operation time is overlong and automatic compensation function is lacked, this paper proposes robot vision system based on trinocular vision from the perspective of system hardware structure improvement and software algorithm optimization. Firstly, logic communication channel among PLC sensor, robot and vision PC shall be established, to realize real-time acquisition and processing of operation condition of material. Then design nine-point calibration method according to scaling, rotating and translation parameters between robot and vision coordinate system, and calibrate three industrial cameras to realize accurate binding of image pixel coordinate and robot world coordinate. Finally, choose region-of-interest, optimize the minimum mean square error matching algorithm and realize balance of system accuracy and speed according to project standard of product. Experimental test result shows that compared with current robot vision system, system in this paper has higher vision accuracy and operation efficiency.

A novel integrated approach using Euclid's and fuzzy logic for secure communication

A novel integrated approach using Euclid's and fuzzy logic for secure communication

A novel integrated approach using Euclid's and fuzzy logic for secure communication

Today, there is a terrific rise in internet security attacks. Even though many encryption algorithms are developed to fight against the attacks, most of them are key centric algorithms. The security of algorithm is very much dependent on security of the key. A new cryptographic algorithm has been proposed based on internal key table, Euclid's theorem and fuzzy logic. The proposed algorithm does not involve key exchange or sharing. It takes the help of internal key table whose indexes will be converted in to numeric form using Euclid's and fuzzy logic to get the cipher text. The secrecy of the communication will be compromised if the key is compromised. So there is a desperate need for key-less algorithms to thwart against man-in-the-middle and spoofing attacks. The proposed approach will provide a solution for key exchange attacks. The performance of proposed work is evaluated by comparing with existing approaches and it shows better results.

The communication of horrorism: a typology of ISIS online death videos

ABSTRACTIn this article, the authors theorize the communicative logic of ISIS online death videos—from the burning and shooting of individual hostages to mass battleground executions. Drawing on Adriana Cavarero’s reflections on contemporary violence, they demonstrate how ISIS’ digital spectacles of the annihilated body confront Western viewers with horror— or rather with different “regimes of horrorism” (grotesque, abject and sublime horror). These spectacles of horror, the authors argue, mix Western with Islamic aesthetic practices and secular with religious moral claims so as to challenge dominant hierarchies of grievability (who is worthy of our grief) and norms of subjectivity. In so doing, the authors conclude, ISIS introduces into global spaces of publicity a “spectacular thanatopolitics”—a novel form of thanatopolitics that brings the spectacle of the savaged body, banished from display since the 19th century, back to the public stage, thereby turning the pursuit of death into the new norm of heroic subjectivity.

A master institution of world society? Digital communications networks and the changing dynamics of transnational contention

In English School theory, the putative change from an international society of states to a world society of individuals is usually associated with the diffusion of a benign form of cosmopolitanism and the normative agenda of solidarism. Consequently, the notion that world society might enable alternative expressions of transnational politics, independent from international society, remains underdeveloped. Drawing on the literature of contentious politics and social movements, this article challenges orthodox accounts and suggests that the global proliferation of digitally mediated linkages between individuals and nonstate actors constitutes a fundamental challenge to traditional dynamics of interstate communication in the form of the diplomatic system. This provides an opportunity to reconceptualize world society as an alternative site of politics distinct from mainstream international society and generative of its own logic of communication, mobilization, and action. The 2011 events in Egypt and the ongoing digital presence of the so-called Islamic State are used to demonstrate how massive increases in global interaction capacity are transforming the pathways for political contention and collective mobilization worldwide.
