Decolonizing AI: Implementing Humanitarian Artificial Intelligence

In this article, we critically examine the implementation of what Carlos Montemayor calls Humanitarian Artificial Intelligence from a decolonizing perspective. We highlight the dichotomy of optimism and fear surrounding AI, elucidating its potential to address fundamental human problems and the risks of monopolistic control. We critique Montemayor’s proposal to align AI with a human rights framework, arguing that it insufficiently addresses global inequalities. Our tripartite analysis focuses on the distribution of AI resources, language inclusion, and content diversity to ensure AI benefits all humanity. We emphasize the need for equitable access to AI, linguistic diversity in AI training data, and the preservation of marginalized epistemologies. We advocate for strategies to mitigate environmental impacts and avoid cultural imperialism disguised as altruism, calling for a balanced approach between private sector innovation and state regulation to foster a truly humanitarian AI.

Mapping the meanings of inclusive education: a following the policy approach

ABSTRACT Over the past few decades, inclusive education has emerged as a transformative force in educational policies worldwide, and Argentina has been no exception, witnessing numerous inclusive education reforms over the past 30 years. This article examines through a ‘follow the policy’ approach what are the prevailing conceptions of inclusive education within Argentina’s policy-making processes. Drawing on Ball’s framework, this article employs a tripartite analysis that encompasses: A) the policy-framing, B) the policy-explanation, and C) the policy-forming. This approach delves into the period between 2010 and 2020, exploring how inclusive education policies as a moving target are translated, adopted, and resisted, providing a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics at play. Results show broad spaces of reinterpretation and translation throughout the policy cycle. In educational contexts with low accountability, inclusive education reforms appear to heavily rely on teachers, particularly their storylines, and their processes of reinterpretation and translation. Their pivotal role in implementing these reforms can significantly shape the outcomes and effectiveness of inclusive practices.

Being and Nature. The Aesthetic Ecocentrism

This article aims to understand how design aesthetics can actively contribute to a more sustainable and resilient society. The methodology uses a tripartite analysis: literature review, case studies, and analysis of historical context. The literature review was supported by an analysis of the philosophy of aesthetics and sustainability, case studies through examples of the ideals of ecocentric aesthetics and historical research as an ethnographic observation of the emergence of activism and its socio-artistic repercussions. Ecocentric aesthetics is based on constructing an aesthetic language through sustainability, using “ugliness” to overcome social alienation by identifying beauty as the aesthetics of reception (mercantile pressure). Propose through formal innovation, an activist role escaping the social functionalization of hyper-industrially, promoting a more conscious and accessible society, and a new language and knowledge that promotes resilience and preservation of life.

What ASEAN Must Learn from Timor-Leste: A Tripartite Analysis on Australian Foreign Policy Related to Timor Sea Treaty 2018

The Timor Gap had been a hotspot of territorial dispute between Australia and Timor-Leste. In 2018, Australia finally agreed to settle a permanent maritime boundary in favour of Timor-Leste. Why was Australia willing to sacrifice the border and give a favourable outcome to Timor-Leste? The research examined the importance of the tripartite approach to Foreign Policy analysis to understand why a country may choose seemingly unfavourable options in territorial disputes. The analysis showed how Australian foreign policy was influenced by agency-structure interactions within the international system. The research demonstrated that structural constraints at the international level influenced Australia’s decision, including the South China Sea dispute between ASEAN members and China, previous agreements Australia-Timor-Leste on the management of the Timor Gap, and domestic political dynamics in Australia. The research reveals a relationship between actors’ structural and dispositional dimensions in foreign policy. In the case of Australia, there is a strong link between democratic values ​​and respect for the international rules-based order. Altogether, this situation prompted Australia to continue negotiations with Timor-Leste over the Timor Gap and ultimately to accept an agreement for maritime delimitation in Timor-Leste’s favor.

Pavement sustainability: a tripartite analysis of natural stone pavements in Hanoi, Vietnam

As a basic component of the city’s structure and, particularly, an integral part of the transportation infrastructure, pavements fundamentally contribute to the city’s achievement of sustainability goals. This paper examines the environmental, societal, and economic impacts of using natural stone for the pavement to pursue an ideal image of Green-Clean-Beautiful city by the government in the burgeoning city of Hanoi, Vietnam. It addresses the urgent question of whether natural stone is a sustainable paving material in a tropical climate under the impacts of climate change. By analysing the published contents of the official press, supported by data and information gathered from interviews with key experts, stakeholders, and urban residents, this paper argues that the actual impacts of natural stone use for pavements on the environment, economy, and society are strongly negative, compared to the positivity initially perceived in Hanoi’s scheme of changing the pavement facelift. It shows that by overemphasising appearance and imagined nationalism values when selecting natural stone, Hanoi government shows a slow progress in improving and balancing functional, social, environmental, and economic dimensions. The paper is significant in contributing to knowledge on pavement sustainability and sustainable materials while shedding light on the challenges of applying these theoretical perspectives into real-life practice.

An analysis of Japan’s soft power strategies through the prism of sports mega-events

This article investigates the use of sports mega-events by nations in East Asia to leverage ‘soft power’. The focus is on Japan and its ‘soft power’ strategies, building on existing work by adding a novel tripartite analysis to understand Japan’s domestic, regional and international rationale for hosting sports mega-events. The empirical data for this study is drawn from government documents and bespoke in-depth interviews (N = 10) with experts involved in sport. This, alongside engagement with the extant literature in the field, allows a more nuanced understanding of Japan’s rationale behind hosting the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the 2019 Rugby World Cup and the city’s second hosting of an Olympics, the 2020(1) summer Games. Key findings include the use of sports mega-events to ‘open up’ Japan’s society and bolster domestic politics, to maintain their regional status competing with China and South Korea and to improve the nation’s global status.

Coping with Moral Dilemmas in German Criminal Law Theory and Justice: Classical Cases and Modern Variants

Dilemma scenarios have always been among the most common problems of moral philosophy and criminal law theory. One only has to contemplate the Plank of Carneades, the classic thought experiment whereby two shipwrecked people’s only hope of rescue is a floating board that can only be occupied by one person. Other scenarios are Welzel’s switchman case and the well-known Trolley Problem. In most of the debated cases the death of one or more people is absolutely unavoidable. The protagonists do not cause the situation but are fated to come into conflict. The focus of this article is on one recent and one future variant. First, the prioritization of medical aid (also known as “triage”) is the subject of intense debate, because the COVID-19 pandemic posed a permanent risk of a temporary collapse in the health system in several countries. Situations had arisen whereby some patients can no longer be treated owing to lack of capacity. It can be asked whether a decision to treat may be based on which patients have a better chance of survival, whether reckless previous behaviour may play a role, and whether a treatment, once started, may be discontinued in favour of another. Second, dilemma scenarios are also one of the last remaining (largely unresolved) legal difficulties of autonomous vehicles. Never before has a machine been given the power to determine the life or death of human beings. Even though the automotive industry promises that such situations will hardly ever occur, the problem could prove to be a tangible obstacle to acceptance and innovation. The article offers solutions for those distinct scenarios, but it is also intended to demonstrate the underlying legal concepts of German law: namely, the tripartite analysis of criminal law and the idea of human dignity as a fundamental principle of the German constitution.

La traduction des documents authentiques dans les manuels scolaires Tunisiens entre pertinence et transgression linguistico-culturelle

The Translation of Authentic Documents in Tunisian School Textbooks between Relevance and Linguistic-Cultural Transgression
 The didactics of foreign languages is a discipline that covers all teaching/learning operations and more particularly didactic transposition. This operational approach requires the presence of several actors: a learner who receives the knowledge and a teacher who plays a pedagogical role of mediator between the knowledge and the learner, using tools, and approaches adapted to the level of the learners. To succeed in this task, the teacher must select and prepare relevant authentic documents. In addition, he will try to plan the lessons and themes to be treated and select the accompanying resources in better working conditions (time/space).
 The authentic document is a practical and tangible document that was not designed for pedagogical purposes but for communicative purposes. It is initially intended for native speakers; the teacher exploits it to enhance it in activities that he will propose in class. The authentic document can take various forms: written, oral, or audiovisual. But if it turns out that any change concerning the form and content has been made to the document such as the deletion or addition of one or more paragraphs, or their rhetorical flesh-out; or the addition of articulators between the proposals to facilitate for example the deduction, in this case we will rather speak of a manufactured didactic document.
 Pedagogical resources play an important role in the teaching-learning process, since their content should improve learners' skill levels. In the context of the use of textbooks very strongly recommended by official instructions. The translation of authentic documents into mother tongues is undeniable, their relevance depends on the needs of the learners and therefore on the learning processes. On the other hand, the translation of these documents requires prior language skills and cultural knowledge on the part of translators-pedagogues but also learners, at the risk of being inappropriate or even counterproductive.
 In fact, talking about relevance refers us to detecting the acts of receipt and authenticity of a document. In class and in a well-defined production context, the authentic document is subject to different acceptance conditions. It is therefore necessary to prepare learners in advance to receive the translation of this document, so that they can grasp certain linguistic and contextual connivances.
 However, the translation of authentic documents presents a large number of constraints that restrict the possibility of their use in the teaching-learning process. Moreover, it is not always easy to find relevant translations whose content is adapted to the level of learners cognitively and culturally, their relative ambiguities can be prohibitive at the beginner and intermediate levels. On the other hand, translations with simple proposals, stated at a concise and slow pace with a clear articulation will be perfectly preferred. It is also necessary that the translated content corresponds to the pedagogical challenges of the teacher and the needs of the learners.
 This research deals with the translation of authentic documents into textbooks in Tunisia. It is an exploratory research with a comprehensive and analytical aim that relies on the quality of the texts produced in Arabic resulting from the translation of the source texts. It is objective to analyze the gap between the original texts in terms of authentic documents and their translation proposed in printed manuals. In particular, emphasis is placed on the linguistic-cultural relevance of translated texts and its relationship to the history of source texts. To achieve this objective, we opted for a tripartite analysis: The first part is a grammatical-comparative analysis of textual supports, the second part is a discursive and structural analysis of translated texts, while the last part, it focuses on the establishment and mobilization of cognitive and cultural baggage.

The "in-between" element of the Europa and the Bull myth: responses by contemporary Greek artists (2002-2018) to the myth's politicisation by the EU

This paper presents a tripartite analysis of the political use of the Europa and the Bull myth in pro-European and Eurosceptical representations using the "in-between" concept. The "in-between" has long been used in philosophy and architecture and has been presented by Elizabeth Grosz (2001) within a broader context as an insightful tool for analysis. Here I use it to reveal the inner meanings of the myth and its political uses. First, I analyse how this concept of the "in-between" unfolds in two fundamental ideas of the myth, transformation (or metamorphosis) and transition (or transportation), signifying on a symbolic and political level a passage from one place/state of being to another, thus making it instrumental in shaping the political dynamic of the myth in the twentieth and twenty-first century. Secondly, I examine the role of this "in-between" concept in the process of the transformation of the myth from a cultural to a political one and in the use of the myth as such during times of European Union (EU) conflicts. Finally, I present artworks created by contemporary Greek artists in the years 2002-2018 as evidence of the above, setting their work on the international stage of artistic responses within the political arena.

Identity: Duality or Tripartism?

Abstract This article explores the relationship between three elements—personality, character, and script—to interpret the idea of someone's identity. A common way to deal with this relationship is in terms of a duality, but a tripartite analysis works better. The article relies heavily on the thought of Charles Hartshorne, with the aid of Simone Weil and Charles Sanders Peirce.

How Discrimination Gets Under the Skin: Biological Determinants of Discrimination Associated With Dysregulation of the Brain-Gut Microbiome System and Psychological Symptoms

BackgroundDiscrimination is associated with negative health outcomes as mediated in part by chronic stress, but a full understanding of the biological pathways is lacking. Here we investigate the effects of discrimination involved in dysregulating the brain-gut microbiome (BGM) system. MethodsA total of 154 participants underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging to measure functional connectivity. Fecal samples were obtained for 16S ribosomal RNA profiling and fecal metabolites and serum for inflammatory markers, along with questionnaires. The Everyday Discrimination Scale was administered to measure chronic and routine experiences of unfair treatment. A sparse partial least squares-discriminant analysis was conducted to predict BGM alterations as a function of discrimination, controlling for sex, age, body mass index, and diet. Associations between discrimination-related BGM alterations and psychological variables were assessed using a tripartite analysis. ResultsDiscrimination was associated with anxiety, depression, and visceral sensitivity. Discrimination was associated with alterations of brain networks related to emotion, cognition and self-perception, and structural and functional changes in the gut microbiome. BGM discrimination-related associations varied by race/ethnicity. Among Black and Hispanic individuals, discrimination led to brain network changes consistent with psychological coping and increased systemic inflammation. For White individuals, discrimination was related to anxiety but not inflammation, while for Asian individuals, the patterns suggest possible somatization and behavioral (e.g., dietary) responses to discrimination. ConclusionsDiscrimination is attributed to changes in the BGM system more skewed toward inflammation, threat response, emotional arousal, and psychological symptoms. By integrating diverse lines of research, our results demonstrate evidence that may explain how discrimination contributes to health inequalities.

AN EXAMINATION OF “DE-CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE OF DISAGREEMENT” THROUGH THE MOVIE OF CARNAGE (2011)

Bu çalışmada, öncelikle “uyuşma/ma” ve “yapıcı olma/ma” bileşenleri üzerinden inşa edilen dörtlü bir diyalog modeli kurulmuştur. Bunlar, (a) yapıcı olan uyum, (b) yapıcı olan uyuşmazlık, (c) yapıcı olmayan uyum ve (d) yapıcı olmayan uyuşmazlıktır. Örneğini teşkil etmesi nedeniyle Acımasız Tanrı (2011) filmi incelenerek “yapıcı olmayan uyuşmazlık” diyaloğu betimlenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman incelemesi kullanılmıştır. Yapıcı olmayan uyuşmazlığın (1) içeriği, (2) yönü ve (3) süreci hakkında bilgi edinebilmek amacıyla içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. (1) İçeriğin incelenmesinde, tartışmanın öğeleri olan (a) tartışma konusu, (b) sav, (c) tanıtlama, (d) karşı-sav ve (c) sonuç ortaya konmuştur. (2) Yönün incelenmesinde, bireylerin niyetleri, bakış açıları ve kişilik özellikleri gün yüzüne çıkarılmıştır. (3) Sürecin incelenmesinde ise bireylerin ürettikleri sav, karşı-sav ve tanıtlamalar mercek alına alınmıştır. Üçlü analiz sonucunda, dörtlü diyalog modelinde ilk olarak, içerik, yön ve süreç bakımından farklılıkları ele alınmıştır. Ardından, içerik, dörtlü yapının oluşmasında etkisiz eleman olarak tanımlanmıştır. Yön öğesi, kendilik ve başkalık, baskı ve direnç, özgüven, iyilik, uyum ve menfaat ve esneklik; süreç öğesi ise, akıl yürütmede kabul ve itiraz, aktif ve pasif rol alma, kendiyle hesaplaşma, bilgi arayışında olma, evrensel entelektüel standartları uygulama özellikleri ile açıklanmıştır. Böylece, bir alt model olan yapıcı olmayan uyuşmazlık diyalog bu özellikler yardımıyla ortaya çıkarılmıştır.

A Sociocultural Rationale for an Explicit-Inductive Approach to Grammar Teaching in L2 Teacher Education

ABSTRACT Explicit knowledge of language is posited as a core component of language teachers’ professional knowledge, as it impacts on their classroom practice, cognition and professional reflection. In response to a sociocultural turn in teacher education, this paper presents a sociocultural rationale for the implementation of an explicit-inductive approach to grammar teaching in L2 teacher education. In an explicit-inductive approach, students are guided to induce and articulate grammatical rules for themselves. A tripartite analysis of: teacher educator as pedagogue, student language teacher as teacher-learner and pedagogy as process within an explicit-inductive approach is presented, to form a sociocultural model for the teaching of explicit knowledge in L2 teacher education. It is argued that an explicit-inductive approach which is grounded in praxis has the potential to develop student language teachers’ (SLTs’) content knowledge, i.e., their declarative knowledge of grammar, as well as their pedagogical knowledge of how to teach grammar. The paper calls for further discussion and critical reflection on the teaching of explicit knowledge in L2 teacher education.

Is knowledge a justified true belief?

As it is settled in the texts of The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, there are three components to the traditional epistemological tripartite analysis of knowledge (the JTB analysis). According to this, it is justified, true belief that makes the necessary and sufficient conditions for mental state to be called knowledge.
 Thus S knows that p iff: p is true; S believes that p; S is justified in believing that p.
 Without questioning this, we emphasize: the encyclopedic articles treat upon propositional knowledge, and only about it. Epistemological analysis, although scrupulous, does not cover all types of knowledge; moreover, in fact it does not examine the generic concept of knowledge which rises above all three JTB explicands; that is, in general, knowledge as such is not determined by means of JTB features, being neither true, nor justified as true, not even synthesized with belief.

Stancetaking in Hong Kong political discourse

AbstractThis study gives a corpus-assisted discourse study (CADS) of stancetaking in the public speeches of three former Chief Executives. Three large corpora have been built by collecting all the public speeches of the three former Chief Executives. It combines automatic semantic tagging with the tripartite analysis of stancetaking in terms of evaluation, positioning and (dis)alignment. The findings not only reveal their preferential ways of stancetaking but also the changing socio-political contexts behind their particular ways of stancetaking. It is argued that a combination of the methods and theories in critical discourse analysis, stancetaking, and corpus linguistics can generate more illuminating findings concerning stancetaking in political discourse.
