IJAISC

International Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing (IJAISC) is an open access peer-reviewed journal that provides an excellent international forum for sharing knowledge and results in theory, methodology and applications of Artificial Intelligence, Soft Computing. The Journal looks for significant contributions to all major fields of the Artificial Intelligence, Soft Computing in theoretical and practical aspects. The aim of the Journal is to provide a platform to the researchers and practitioners from both academia as well as industry to meet and share cutting-edge development in the field. Authors are solicited to contribute to the journal by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, surveying works and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in the areas of Soft Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Applications.

Excelente informe anual, de 2023, sobre los datos estadísticos religiosos en España. Presentación muy clara, y de fácil lectura. Un vademécum de información sobre la laicidad y la secularidad creciente en un país como España. Muy en paralelo con lo que ocurre en los países vecinos. Lectura casi obligada para quien quiera no perder el contacto con la realidad.

A Philosophical History of the Concept (Cambridge University Press), 2025

Several prominent Anglo-American philosophers—the concept theorists, as I shall call them—argue that to engage rationally in inquiry, one must grasp and apply non-linguistic entities called concepts which, when properly combined, yield non-linguistic entities called propositions or thoughts that are true or false. Arguments of this sort have a long history that extends at least as far back as Plato. What is distinctive of theorizing about concepts since the late 1930s, however, is its reliance on methods of metalinguistic semantic analysis first devised by Alfred Tarski. My goals in this paper are to explain this reliance and reconstruct and evaluate a small but representative selection of the most influential philosophical views on concepts since 1945. In the first two sections I describe how our use of metalinguistic semantic analysis to clarify and facilitate our inquiries presupposes our practical ability to use our words. In the third section I reconstruct the concept theorists’ argument that our practical ability to use our words requires an explanation and that only a theory of concepts can explain it. In the fourth through the seventh sections I examine, respectively, Rudolf Carnap’s, W.V. Quine’s, Hilary Putnam’s, and Tyler Burge’s influential views on whether, and if so, how, a theory of concepts can explain our practical ability to use our words. My examination of these views leads me to conclude that our practical ability to use our words in inquiry is more fundamental than any explanation of it that the concept theorists hope to provide. I therefore propose that we take this practical ability as fundamental and focus not on explaining it, but on clarifying it, refining it, and investigating its consequences.

provide the foundation for almost all of the more complex sampling designs based on probability sampling. They are also usually the easiest designs to implement. These two designs highlight a trade‐offs inherent in selecting a sampling design: to select sample units at random to minimize the risk of introducing biases into the sample or to select samples systematically to ensure that sample units are well‐distributed throughout the population. Both designs involve selecting n sample units from the N units available in the population and can be implemented with or without replacement.

Water-cooled compressors are well known for providing reliable starting air for marine diesel on small, medium-sized and large ships and engine based power station. This type of compressors is the best choice if the engine room temperature is very high. The water for the cooling system of these compressors are supplied by centrifugal pumps and has radiator system for cooling the hot water that comes out from the compressor. Air production could be hampered either by operators wrong manual operation of centrifugal pumps or heat exchanger system which eventually affect engine operation also. The aim of this paper is to describe the methods of the PLC controlled system to maximize the process efficiency, avoiding the operator alienation and keeps it safe trough automated system with PLC logic.
