Analytical history [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
The purpose of this note is to explain what is "analytical history", a modular and testable analysis of historical events introduced in a book published in 2002 (Roehner and Syme 2002). Broadly speaking, it is a comparative methodology for the analysis of historical events. Comparison is the keystone and hallmark of science.

Disentangling Contact Location for Stretchable Tactile Sensors from Soft Waveguide Ultrasonic Scatter Signals

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article proposes a novel data‐driven approach for force contact location sensing (FCLS), based on scatter signals of the ultrasonic waveguide, with the influence of sensor strain and forces. The experimental results indicate that the accuracy of the proposed FCLS method has an mean absolute error loss of 0.627 mm and a mean relative error loss of ...

A health(y) subject? Examining discourses of health in physical education curricula across the UK

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 1161-1182, December 2022., 2022
Abstract In this paper, we present the findings from our critical analysis of the health discourses evident with physical education (PE) curricula in each UK home nation—England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. We carried out a critical discourse analysis of those curriculum documents that talk directly to PE teachers about how to organise, enact

Electropneumatic Oscillators Using Nonlinear Inflatables

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
In animals, self‐oscillations are essential to coordinate locomotion and other bodily functions. By combining hysteretic membranes with a resistive strain sensor, an electropneumatic self‐oscillator with an oscillation frequency that directly depends upon geometric parameters in the fluidic domain is introduced.

Early detection of risk of reading difficulties using a working memory assessment battery

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 1183-1197, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Research suggests a role for aspects of the working memory system in reading. While much of the evidence points to a role for working memory capacity and the phonological loop, more recent work indicates a role for the central executive component, although findings remain unclear.

Politics of evidence: Think tanks and the Academies Act

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 1232-1253, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Previous research has identified political ideology as central in the landmark Academies Act (2010). This article further analyses how politics of evidence played its part in the policy process by focusing on long‐term structural changes and preferences among policymakers. The article draws on policymaker interviews after the reform, a mapping

What is ‘Western Philosophy’?

open access: yesJournal for the History of Analytical Philosophy
Recent discussions in the history of analytic philosophy have targeted questions about the concept of ‘Analytic Philosophy’ itself. Scholars, such as Glock (2008) and Preston (2004), have argued that ‘Analytic Philosophy’ cannot plausibly be ...

Artificial Intelligences: A Bridge Toward Diverse Intelligence and Humanity's Future

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Many discussions of artificial intelligence fail to address deeper questions being raised by advances in developmental biology, neuroscience, bioengineering, and philosophy of mind. Novel beings, including technologically and biologically augmented humans, engineered life forms, hybrots, and others, require tools of the emerging field of diverse ...
