This study investigated the use of computer games to detect the symptoms of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), an early stage of dementia, in the elderly. To this end, three serious games were used to measure the visio-perception coordination and psycho-motor abilities, spatial memory, and short-term digit span memory. Subsequently, the correlations between the results of the games and the results of the Korean Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE), a dementia screening test, were analyzed. In addition, the game results of normal elderly persons were compared with those of elderly patients who exhibited MCI symptoms. The results indicated that the game play time and the frequency of errors had significant correlations with K-MMSE. Significant differences were also found in several factors between the control group and the group with MCI. Based on these findings, the advantages and disadvantages of using serious games as tools for screening mild cognitive impairment were discussed.

Empathy is an important social ability in early childhood development. One of the significant characteristics of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is their lack of empathy, which makes it difficult for them to understand other's emotions and to judge other's behavioral intentions, leading to social disorders. This research designed and implemented a facial expression analysis system that could obtain and analyze the real-time expressions of children when viewing stimulus, and evaluate the empathy differences between ASD children and typical development children. The research results provided new ideas for evaluation of ASD children, and helped to develop empathy intervention plans.

Ocular information was observed during a set of dementia tests involving participants with two diagnostic levels of illness, such as having Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a mild level of cognitive impairment (MCI) patients, and a control group. The number of participants was 26. Features of changes in pupil size and in the central position of both eyes were compared between three levels. There are significant differences in some of the metrics between the levels in the earlier test sessions. The possibility of classification was confirmed using the extracted features, and the contributions of some features were examined.

Purpose: The publication discusses the mutual relations between philosophy, science and cognition. Methodology: The main method is the analysis of the subject literature. Findings: The article discusses issues of epistemological nature, describes the mechanism that enables cognition as both an experience and an act of will. Social implications: For European culture, the concept of truth is fundamental, and can be interpreted as a practical value in life or as a never-ending search for the meaning of human existence. Originality/value: The result is recognition that science and philosophy, both cognitive categories ultimately provide the starting point for research on the status of man as a being above the biological and for research on his moral condition.

EN

In the case of philosophical justifications of sustainable development it is important to work out epistemological standpoints, adequate to the problems considered in the areas of particular development concepts based on speculative, theoretical knowledge as well as on practical one related to activity and serving its purposes. Epistemology must correlate with the problems that are their material object as well as with goals and cognitive and practical tasks that they (concepts) have to deal with. The present article makes an attempt at presenting reflection on knowledge and cognition by indicating the epistemological basis of the concept of sustainable development. It will endeavor to draw attention to the need of shaping the attitude of the knowing subject, to facilitate adequate understanding of what we commonly address as sustainability and implementing the proposals of sustainable development and verification of the related sources of cognition.

Dla filozoficznych uzasadnień zrównoważonego rozwoju znaczące jest wypracowywanie stanowisk epistemologicznych, adekwatnych do problemów rozpatrywanych na obszarach poszczególnych koncepcji rozwoju opartych na wiedzy teoretycznej – o charakterze spekulatywnym – i praktycznej, związanej z działaniem i jemu służącej. Epistemologia, będąc częścią każdej z koncepcji rozwoju, powinna korelować z problemami będącymi ich przedmiotem materialnym oraz ze stawianymi przed nimi (koncepcjami) celami i zadaniami poznawczymi i praktycznymi. Artykuł stanowi próbę ukazania rozważań nad wiedzą i poznaniem poprzez wskazanie epistemologicznych podstaw koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju. Celem jest natomiast zwrócenie uwagi na potrzebę ukształtowania właściwego nastawienia podmiotu poznającego, pozwalającego możliwie adekwatnie uchwycić to, co zwykliśmy nazywać zrównoważonym rozwojem, i jednocześnie wdrażającego postulaty zrównoważonego rozwoju, a ponadto weryfikacja związanych z tym źródeł poznania.

Coaching is one of the tools for the development of trade managers and the discovery of their hidden potential. It is a tool for seeking satisfaction, motivation, and effectiveness. The paper aims to identify the attributes of coaching assessment by trade managers. Its partial aim is to verify a new AC-BEC methodology - the assessment of coaching from the point of view of behaviour, emotions, and cognitions, three factors that were extracted in the research. The given methodology was created for the purpose of extending the range of possibilities for identifying the factors of coaching assessment by trade managers. The results show that managers operating in trade are willing to try new things, they want to develop personally and be more effective and in coaching, it is necessary to monitor and evaluate all attributes individually. It is not possible to look at this process as a whole.

Coaching to jedno z narzędzi rozwoju menedżerów handlowych i odkrywania ich ukrytego potencjału. To narzędzie do poszukiwania satysfakcji, motywacji i skuteczności. Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja atrybutów oceny coachingu przez menedżerów handlowych. Jego częściowym celem jest weryfikacja nowej metodologii AC-BEC - oceny coachingu z punktu widzenia zachowań, emocji i poznania, trzech czynników, które zostały wyodrębnione w badaniach. Podana metodologia została stworzona w celu poszerzenia wachlarza możliwości identyfikacji czynników oceny coachingu przez handlowców. Wyniki pokazują, że menedżerowie działający w handlu chętnie próbują nowych rzeczy, chcą się rozwijać osobiście i być bardziej efektywni, aw coachingu konieczne jest indywidualne monitorowanie i ocena wszystkich atrybutów. Nie można spojrzeć na ten proces jako całość.

Conceptual space framework is used for representing knowledge in cognitive systems. In this paper, we have adapted conceptual space framework for prosthetic arm considering its cognitive abilities such as receiving signals, recognizing and decoding the signal and responding with the corresponding action in order to develop a conceptual space of the prosthetic arm. Cognitive functionalities such as learning, memorizing and distinguishing configurations of prosthetic arm are achieved via its conceptual space. To our knowledge, this work is the first attempt to adapt the conceptual spaces to model cognitive functionalities of prosthetic arm. Adding to this, we have made use of different notion of concept that reflects the topological structure in concepts. To model the actions of the prosthetic arm functionalities, we have made use of force patterns to represent action. Similarly, to model the distinguishing ability, we make use of the relationship between the attributes conveyed by adapted different notion of concept.

Publikacja przedstawia myśl wybitnego polskiego filozofa Leszka Kołakowskiego na zagadnienie identyfikacji natury ludzkiej moralności. Twórczość Kołakowskiego to przede wszystkim poszukiwanie sposobu, w jaki człowiek staje się człowiekiem. Dwa najważniejsze wymiary pozwalające na odnalezienie istoty problemu to rozum i transcendencja. Oscylowanie między tymi poziomami czy warstwami ujawnia nie tylko drogę do moralności, jako formalnego zespołu norm i praw, ale także drogę do człowieczeństwa istoty ludzkiej jako wartości abstrakcyjnej.

Leszek Kolakowski's work is revealed primarily through his interest in man, both in the social dimension and in the individual dimension. The contemporary man is a complex entity for Kolakowski, both in historical and existential sense. In the historical perspective, he witnessed the experience of banality and oppression, in the existential perspective, the indispensable tension between biology and intellect. This, according to Kołakowski, is the source of permanent human crisis as a human being.

Thalamotomy is a neurosurgical procedure used in the treatment of advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD). The aim of our research is to evaluate the early impact of a lesion in the ventrointermedial nucleus (VIM) of the thalamus on cognitive and motor function in people with PD. Sixty patients who qualified for right- or leftsided VIM thalamotomy were involved in the study. The cognitive and motor functions of each patient were assessed both prior to and following the surgical procedure. Twenty-nine PD patients without ablative treatment were qualified for the comparison group, and 57 neurologically healthy individuals were assigned to the control group. The following tests were carried out: Mini Mental State Examination, Benton Visual Retention Test, Stroop Color and Word Test, Trail Making Test A&B, and Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test. Statistically significant differences were found in reaction time, visual-spatial working memory, auditory-verbal memory, and overall level of cognitive function when comparing the results of tests carried out before and after thalamotomy and when comparing patients who had undergone surgery with untreated or healthy individuals. In patients with right-sided and left-sided thalamotomy differences were also found in the mean number of perseverative errors and recalled words.

Electroencephalograph (EEG) data provide insight into the interconnections and relationships between various cognitive states and their corresponding brain dynamics, by demonstrating dynamic connections between brain regions at different frequency bands. While sensory input tends to stimulate neural activity in different frequency bands, peaceful states of being and self-induced meditation tend to produce activity in the mid-range (Alpha). These studies were conducted with the aim of: (a) testing different equipment in order to assess two (2) different EEG technologies together with their benefits and limitations and (b) having an initial impression of different brain states associated with different experimental modalities and tasks, by analyzing the spatial and temporal power spectrum and applying our movie making methodology to engage in qualitative exploration via the art of encephalography. This study complements our previous study of measuring multichannel EEG brain dynamics using MINDO48 equipment associated with three experimental modalities measured both in the laboratory and the natural environment. Together with Hilbert analysis, we conjecture, the results will provide us with the tools to engage in more complex brain dynamics and mental states, such as Meditation, Mathematical Audio Lectures, Music Induced Meditation, and Mental Arithmetic Exercises. This paper focuses on open eye and closed eye conditions, as well as meditation states in laboratory conditions. We assess similarities and differences between experimental modalities and their associated brain states as well as differences between the different tools for analysis and equipment.

A conspicuous annual variation in the photon flux density of ~10-12 W·m-2 by a photomultiplier tube housed in a hyperdark ground level setting was within the range expected for the small changes in the earth’s distance per orbit from the energetic entropy (Joules) of the singularity at the center of the galaxy. For the Bekenstein-Hawking relation to be congruent the singularity’s power must reflect the galaxy’s age. The power (W) per volume at the distance of the earth when divided into the peak-to-trough change in photon flux density for minimum-maximum distances from the galactic center converged with the Compton wavelength for an electron. Subsequent calculations indicated that the discrepancy between the magnetic moments of the orbit/spin of the electron and of the proton when the energy associated with the neutral hydrogen line is involved with the Bohr atom also solve for the Compton electron wavelength. The most likely local mechanism to satisfy the hyperfine currents that are in the order of 10-15 A within the width of plasma membrane phenomena would be proton channels when pH ranges from about 5.8 to 7.4 which can occur transiently near neurons. The measured photon flux densities multiplied by known diffusion velocities of protons in water could produce energy levels of ~10-20 J per square unit of time. The results suggest the potential for collapsing de Broglie particle-wave properties of an electron involves energies associated with neuronal action potentials coupled to cognition and that this potential may be spread through the galactic volume as pervasive photon flux densities originating from the singularity at the center.

The contact patterns of bevel gear sets are an important indicator for the acoustic quality of rear axle drives. The contact patterns are the result of complex interactions in the production process. This is due to many process steps, numerous influencing factors and interdependencies. In general, their effect on product variations is not fully comprehended. This impedes the design and control of the production process based on a holistic analytical model for new variants fulfilling the acoustic requirements. The approach with self-optimization is possible but can take a long time for the training of the artificial neural networks and the necessary iterations until a satisfying precision for the predicted process parameters is achieved. Also it can occur that the algorithm is not converging and therefore no satisfactory result is turned out at all. In this paper an approach is presented combining the flexibility of self-optimizing systems with the higher precision of delimited solution finders called the Cognitive Failure Cluster (CFC). The improvements provided by the clustering of the optimization program are evaluated regarding the training time and the precision of the result for a production lot of bevel gear sets.
