Behavior and Self-Similarity between Nano and Human Scales: From T-pattern and T-string Analysis (TPA) with THEME to T-Societies
This project was inspired in the sixties by primatologist D. Morris’s “The Naked Ape”, Niko Tinbergen, K. Lorenz, and K. von Frisch ethological research rewarded in 1973 by a shared Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology and E. O. Wilson’s 1975 opus “Sociobiology”. Other important inspirations were B. F. Skinner’s work on probabilistic real-time contingencies, N. Chomsky’s on syntactic structure and creativity, H. Montagner’s on interactions in social insects and children, S. Duncan’s on turn-taking in human dyadic interactions, and Richard Dawkins’ on behavioral hierarchy and detection algorithms. Structured animal mass-societies (>104 individuals) are only found in insects and modern humans and understanding their similarities and differences became a major aim through a search for hidden interaction patterns. Existing multivariate and artificial neural network methods and models lacked adequate description and detection of complex real-time patterns requiring new mathematical time structure (1-D) models, now the T-system, with detection algorithms and software (THEME™).
Systematic Observation: Engaging Researchers in the Study of Daily Life as It Is Lived
Assessment in natural contexts through observation is unquestionably complex. Systematic observation grounded in observational methodology offers a wide range of possibilities to the rigorous study of everyday behavior in their natural context. These possibilities have been enriched in recent decades with the explosion of information and communication technologies. In this eBook we assemble 23 articles from several researchers who have made important contributions to this evolving field. The articles included in this eBook has been organized with a first part on general methodological developments and a second part with methodological contributions that emphasize different application areas. Considering the enormous possibilities of the systematic observation in the study of daily life, we hope this eBook will be useful to understand innovative applications in different fields.
The Basal Ganglia IX
The aim of the International Basal Ganglia Society (IBAGS) is to further our understanding of normal basal ganglia function and the pathophysiology of disorders of the basal ganglia, including Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and schizophrenia. Each triennial meeting of IBAGS brings together basic research scientists from all disciplines as well as clinicians who are actively involved in the treatment of basal ganglia disorders, to discuss the most recent advances in the field and to generate new approaches and ideas for the future. This volume comprises the proceedings of the 9th meeting of IBAGS, held in Egmond aan Zee, The Netherlands, September 2nd-6th, 2007.
Video Data Analysis
Video data is transforming the possibilities of social science research. Whether through mobile phone footage, body-worn cameras or public video surveillance, we have access to an ever-expanding pool of data on real-life situations and interactions. This book provides a flexible framework for working with video data and understanding what it says about social life. With examples from a range of real video research projects, the book showcases step-by-step how to analyse any kind of data, including both found and generated videos. It also includes a non-technical discussion of computer vision and its opportunities for social science research. With this book you will be able to: · Complete ea...
Mussolini racconta Mussolini
Esistono molte biografie di Benito Mussolini ma mai nessuno aveva pensato di lasciare la parola al duce stesso, al racconto che della sua vita troviamo in pagine autobiografiche, tra cui molte inedite o dimenticate. Scopriamo così cosa pensava Mussolini della propria vita, come la raccontava agli altri, e come modificò questa autorappresentazione nel corso della sua esistenza. Fin da giovane, addirittura dal 1911, Benito Mussolini aveva cominciato a scrivere pagine in cui raccontava la propria vita. Aveva proseguito durante la prima guerra mondiale con un diario in cui raccontava le sue avventure di cronista militare dal retrofronte. Nel 1932 aveva a lungo dialogato con il giornalista tede...
Portella della Ginestra: alla radice del segreto italiano
Portella della Ginestra è una strage che ci racconta di un tempo in cui lo Stato e chi lo governava decidono di abdicare all'uso legittimo della forza in funzione d'ordine e di affidare, invece, la medesima funzione d'ordine a chi, in quel tempo (purtroppo come oggi), deteneva – e detiene – il monopolio della violenza e dell'illegalità: la mafia. Un patto, quindi, un patto scellerato che determina un vulnus, lo ripeto, nel processo di formazione della democrazia del nostro Paese, non solo nella storia delle istituzioni siciliane. Ma un simile patto era già stato siglato al momento della caduta del Fascismo, al tempo dello sbarco degli alleati, quando esattamente chi aveva – e avrebb...
