Object-oriented Interpretation Research Articles

Unia Europejska jako społeczność ludów dobrze urządzonych? Obiektowa interpretacja prawa ludów Johna Rawlsa – przyczynek do przyszłych badań

This article aims to present an interpretative perspective on the concept of the law of peoples, enabling its contemporary conceptualization. According to the main research thesis of the article, the concepts of the object-oriented programming paradigm provide an effective conceptual apparatus for reinterpreting philosophical claims, which, in particular, can be applied to contemporary conceptualization of John Rawls’ law of peoples. In the first part of the article, the relationships between the object-oriented programming paradigm and philosophy in three areas are specified and described: the philosophy of computer science, the philosophy of science, and computational philosophy. The next part presents the key mechanisms of the object-oriented programming paradigm, such as class-object and inheritance. In turn, the third part shows how selected articles of the Treaty on European Union, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the North Atlantic Treaty, and the Geneva Conventions flesh out the principles of justice specified in the law of peoples. On this basis, the conclusion is drawn that they are related to each other by the relationship of inheritance. In the fourth part, the emergent structure is subjected to object-oriented interpretation, resulting in the recognition of the law of peoples as an unspecified class.

Befundbuch 3.0. Befundansprache und Befundverortung durch semantische Technologien

AbstractBuilding archaeological findings are the primary sources of historic building research and an important basis for object-oriented interpretation in architectural history. In order to preserve the spatial, temporal and other content-related cross-references and contexts that are particularly valuable for analysis, a loose collection of diverse presentation formats such as descriptive texts, findings sheets, plan drawings and 3D representations has become established. However, this diversity is also a reason for the lack of accessibility and sustainable connectivity of this useful information. Linked Open Data technologies of the Semantic Web offer the possibility of making the findings available in a human- and machine-readable form, together with their diverse references. This requires consistent ›semantic modelling‹ of the material evidence in ontological form, oriented on specialist scientific needs.

Beyond the Entwurf: (A Preliminary) Project for a Scientific Death Drive

This paper explores the conceptual thresholds of psychoanalysis as they have been laid out over the course of the 20th and 21st centuries, specifically focusing on the tensions between Sigmund Freud and two of his many heirs, viz., Jean Laplanche and Jacques Lacan. First, I extricate Freud's visionary text, Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920), from Laplanche's condemnation of the text as either whimsically metaphyical or simply a return to Freudian seduction theory. I argue that neither categorization has the capacity to contain the argumentative force of Beyond. Second, by attending to Lacan's theorizations of the philosophy of science apropos of psychoanalysis, I speculate on the possibility of a psychoanalytic future, one that incorporates scientific rigour into its theories practices. By accounting for the materiality of the death drive (through Timothy Morton's object-oriented interpretation of molecular processes), I show how the death drive was never necessarily metaphorical and thereby acts as an discourse-altering facet of psychoanalysis in a way that neither Laplanche nor Lacan could have anticipated.

Simulating potential vegetation distribution in a mountainous region of the Eastern Tibetan Plateau: A case study of Barkam County

The main objective of this study is to simulate the potential vegetation types on the basis of environmental parameters. The paper took Barkam County in a mountainous region of the Eastern Tibetan Plateau as the study area. The vegetation distribution was mapped in 1994 and 2007 based on TM remote sensing images by object-oriented interpretation method. We overlaid the two maps to find out the vegetation patches which have not changed, and took them as stable types. Fifty per cent of the stable patches were randomly sampled to operate the logistic regression with related environmental parameters; others were used as test data of simulated results. Seven environmental parameters were mapped, including elevation, slope, aspect, surface curvature, solar radiation, temperature and precipitation, based on DEM data and meteorological site data by GIS technology. The relationship between the spatial distribution of vegetation and environmental variables were quantified by logistic regression. The distribution pr...

A minimalist approach to objects

Dynamically typed environment-passing interpreters (EPIs), such as Scheme, are known for their small footprint. In this era of ubiquitous computing, there is an advantage for providing in situ programming support for systems having limited resources. Thus, EPIs may play an important role in programming embedded systems, especially with system-on-a-chip approaches. It is desirable that embedded interpreters be full featured, such as including an object system. By taking a view that equates function definitions with classes and environments with objects, it is shown how any EPI having functions and environments as first-class objects can be made object-oriented with a strong inheritance model through the addition of proxies and judicious use of dynamic scope and/or assignment. Moreover, the sum total of the necessary changes is surprisingly small. The result is an object-oriented interpreter with little additional cost in terms of interpreter size or specialized syntax.
