Dual-reason analyses revisited

Abstract in UndeterminedClassical fitting-attitude analyses understand value in terms of it being fitting, or more generally, there being a reason to favour the bearer of value. However, recently such analyses have been interpreted as referring to two reason notions rather than only one. The general idea is that the properties of the object provide reason not only for a certain kind of favouring(s

A Self-Tuning Filter for Fixed-Lag Smoothing

The problem of estimating a discrete-time stochastic signal which is corrupted by additive white measurement noise is discussed. How the stationary solution to the fixed-lag smoothing problem can be obtained is shown. The first step is to construct an innovation model for the process. It is then shown how the fixed-lag smoother can be determined from the polynomials in the transfer function of the

Measurements of Kinematic Properties of the Cervical Spine Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

This paper presents kinematic data on the cervical and upper thoracic spine, based on measurements made on 20 Scandinavian healthy, female volunteers, aged 22-58 years (mean age 40.4). The aim was to provide anatomical in vivo data, primarily intended as data for biomechanical modelling of the upper spine. Together with the measurements of standard anthropometric body dimensions, magnetic resonanc

Sigrid Combüchen's Parsifal – time and memory in a dissoluting Europe. A Narrative analysis in Comparison with Aethiopica by the ancient novelist Heliodorus (300 AD).

A comparison between the narrative technique of the ancient Greek novel, 'The Aethiopica' by Heliodorus, and Sigrid Combüchen´s modern tale 'Parsifal'. Sigrid Combüchen is a Swedish writer, born in Germany 1943, a european 'war child'. Her tale Parsifal (1998) gives perspective of the perils in European history. She uses a historical, mythical and contemporary narrative in a genuinely inventive
