This thesis investigates the design of sociable technologies and is divided into three main parts described below. In the first part, we introduce sociable technologies. We review our the definition of technology and propose categories of technologies according to the motivation underlying their design: improvement of control, improvement of communication or improvement of cooperation. Sociable technologies are then presented as an extension of techniques to improve cooperation. The design of sociable technologies are then discussed leading to the observation that acquisition of social common sense is a key challenge for designing sociable technologies. Finally, polite technologies are presented as an approach for acquiring social common sense. In the second part, we focus on the premises for the design of sociable technologies. A key aspect of social common sense is the ability to act appropriately in social situations. Associating appropriate behaviour with social situations is presented as a key method for implementing polite technologies. Reinforcement learning is proposed as a method for learning such associations and variation of this algorithm are experimentally evaluated. Learning the association between situation and behaviour relies on the strong assumption that mutual understanding of social situations can be achieved between technologies and people during interaction. We argue that in order to design sociable technologies, we must change the model of communication used by our technologies. We propose to replace the well-known code model of communication, with the ostensive-inferential model proposed by Sperber and Wilson. Hypotheses raised by this approach are evaluated in an experiment conducted in a smart environment, where, subjects by group of two or three are asked to collaborate with a smart environment in order to teach it how to behave in an automated meeting. A novel experimental methodology is presented: The Sorceress of Oz. The results collected from this experiment validate our hypothesis and provide insightful information for the design. We conclude by presenting, what we believe are, the premises for the design of sociable technologies. The final part of the thesis concerns an infrastructure for the design of sociable technologies. This infrastructure provides the support for three fundamental components. First, it provides the support for an inferential model of context. This inferential model of context is presented; a software architecture is proposed and evaluated in an experiment conducted in a smart-environment. Second, it provides the support for reasoning by analogy and introduces the concept of eigensituations. The advantage of this representation are discussed and evaluated in an experiment. Finally, it provides the support for ostensive-inferential communication and introduces the concept of ostensive interface.

<p>Previously, studies in the intersection of power and development have predominantly concentrated on power as domination; how powerful actors can force recipient countries into embracing specific policies due to economical asymmetries. Yet, with the introduction of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSP) approach to development employed by the Bretton Woods Institutions (BWI), conditions on certain policies have decreased and it is said that the approach allows for country ownership as development strategies are written by the countries themselves. As a critical response, the conception of power is broadened here through the separate employment of governmentality theory and neo-Gramscian International Relations theory. They share among them a theoretical premise which allows for an understanding of power that extends beyond domination to the realm of discursive practices which, it is argued, allows for influence despite the notions of ownership and without power as domination.</p><p>The object of this thesis is to suggest how the discourses of the PRSP regime can influence subjects whom they addressed. The two theories have different assumptions here. More specifically, the neo-Gramscian theory argue that discursive practice may render ideological issues as common sense why they can come to be embraced by subjects, whereas the governmentality theory assume that discourses can, perhaps without conscious recognition, reshape the very identities of subjects. The theories differences are retained and bracketed when a discourse analysis of the PRSP regime is conducted which concludes that the BWIs require that suitable skills are embraced by subjects appropriate for a good governed market economy. These skills are located to basic capacities in calculating, accounting and social capital accumulation. Thereafter a practical example of discursive practice in a capacity building mission is reviewed to explicate how these skills are actualized through training modules enabling influence towards preferred standards of the BWIs without power as domination. The two theories are brought in for a discussion on how these discursive practices may be understood according to their respective premises, but also to discuss the usefulness of these theories for studies of this kind.</p><p>It is argued, among other conclusions, that the neo-Gramscian understanding of power as operating on the conscious level can fruitfully be coupled with the proposition of governmentality that powers also work on an unconscious level for understanding practises of capacity building. As concerning the weaknesses of the theories it is put forth that the neo- Gramscian theory suffers from an assumption of class identity presented as a “brute fact” before the realm of the political, whereas the governmentality theory suffers from an exclusive focus on discourse and leaves behind how different actor constellations may seek to appropriate discourses. To remedy these weaknesses, the thesis concludes with an argument that a combination of these theories can provide a lucrative foundation for further studies.</p>

<p>In South Africa today those who lead sport are facing increasing scrutiny which has inevitably resulted in questioning governance practices. The transition of many sports from<br /> predominantly volunteer administered organizations anchored in an amateur ethos, to professionally managed entities catering to a more sophisticated market place has created<br /> unique challenges for the governance of sport sponsorship. This evolution gives rise to possible conceptual linkage between sport sponsorship and corporate governance or none<br /> thereof. This study focuses on the ABSA-Premier Soccer League (PSL) sponsorship transaction as a case study to explore this linkage. The research is aimed at finding the nexus<br /> between sport sponsorship and corporate governance principles, namely accountability and transparency in the conclusion of this transaction.</p> <p><br /> The research consists of four phases / literature review which provides a detailed analysis of all primary and secondary material available on this topic. The second phase is a qualitative<br /> case study research methodology which comprises of in-depth interviews with targeted stakeholders. The third part presents the research findings and discussion section, and lastly<br /> the way forward through reflections and recommendations including highlighting potential future research areas.</p> <p><br /> This work is timely when there has been generally a heightened evolution in sport sponsorship and its focus was to explore the nexus and compliance to the founding principles<br /> of the organizations (laws of governance). Factually, good corporate governance aims at ensuring a higher degree of transparency in an organization by encouraging full disclosure of<br /> transactions in the company accounts as well as accountability. Academics have been exploring the notion of sports sponsorship and corporate governance with much of the<br /> debates grounded on understanding its commercial value.</p> <p><br /> The focus for this study is on the conceptual nexus or non-thereof, between sponsorship and corporate governance. Information was collected through in-depth and experience interviews,<br /> documented reviews and analysis (such as the review and analysis of the constitution of the South Africa football Association, PSL, financial/banking sector policy regulations, South<br /> African Sports Act, corporate governance reports, annual reports, scholarly journals, academic books, conference papers and Parliamentary Monitoring Group documents etc. to<br /> mention but a few.</p>

Neste trabalho discuto sobre o senso comum, que é invariavelmente uma dimensão social do conhecimento, concebido na forma de crenças, conhecimentos, julgamentos e valores que são igualmente compartilhados por um conjunto de pessoas. Por isso, concepções sobre o senso comum estão presentes explicitamente em diferentes disciplinas, como as Ciências Humanas e a Inteligência Artificial, e implicitamente em alguns conceitos fundamentais como o de inteligência. Meu objetivo neste trabalho é representar o senso comum. A tática empregada para isso foi questionar as diferenças existentes no entendimento entre as partes envolvidas em situações de entendimento comum. Diante disso, defendo que concepções abstratas e sistemáticas sobre o senso comum não conseguem explicar como pode haver, em uma dada situação, diferenças existentes no entendimento comum nem entendimento comum em meio a diferenças existentes. Alternativamente, defendo que o senso comum acontece localmente, de maneira não garantida e não sistemática. Como as palavras e conceitos no início das interações são ambíguas, polissêmicas, lacunosas, etc. há a necessidade de estabelecer referências comuns para que seja possível o entendimento comum e manter relações sociais mais duradouras: a) essas relações têm restrições sobre o número de relações mais próximas segundo a hipótese do cérebro social, e b) essas referências estão baseadas na relação de analogias de outras experiências como um modo de entender situações novas. As relações podem ser representadas na forma de redes sociais, enquanto as referências podem ser representadas por redes semânticas, nas quais a familiaridade do repertório pode ser tratada como o crescimento da rede total de referências de uma pessoa. Defendo que é possível conceber o paralelismo entre a rede social de uma pessoa e sua rede semântica geral, e esse paralelismo pode ser representado. / I discuss here the common sense, which is invariably a social dimension of knowledge, conceived in the form of beliefs, knowledge, judgments and values that are equally shared by a set of people. Hence, conceptions about common sense are explicitly present in different disciplines, such as the Human Sciences and Artificial Intelligence, and implicitly in some fundamental concepts such as intelligence. My goal here is to represent common sense. For that, I question the differences existing in the understanding between people involved in situations of common understanding. Therefore, I argue that abstract and systematic conceptions of common sense cannot explain how there can be \"differences in the common understanding\" or \"common understanding in the midst of existing differences\" in a given situation. Alternatively, I argue that common sense happens locally, in a not taken-for-grated and unsystematic way. Since at the beginning interactions words and concepts are both ambiguous, polysemic, lacunose, etc. there is a need to establish common references so that common understanding can be possible and more lasting social relations can be maintained: a) relations have restrictions on the number of closer ones according to the social brain hypothesis, and b) references are based on the relation of analogies of other experiences as a way to understand new situations. Relationships can be represented in the form of social networks, while references can be represented by semantic networks in which repertory familiarity can be treated as the growth of a person\'s total network of references. I argue that it is possible to conceive the parallelism between a person\'s social network and its general semantic network, and this parallelism can be represented.

We show how the non-monotonic nature of common-sense reasoning can be formalised by circumscription. Various forms of circumscription are discussed. A new form of circumscription, namely naive circumscription, is introduced in order to facilitate the comparison of the various forms. Finally, some issues connected with the automation of circumscriptive reasoning are examined. / Computing / M. Sc. (Computer Science)

These princetonian had epistemological basis as the philosophy of Thomas Reid, known as the Common Sense Realism. This philosophy is used as a reformed epistemology, or Calvinist. It is understood in its Scottish formation and consequently American, via Princeton, as Providential Epistemology. Thusly, when it is assimilated by Brazilians through preaching and theological education, it becomes part of the Brazilian Presbyterian profile as a philosophical doctrine. The Philosophy of Common Sense is gestated as critical to the empiricist philosophy of David Hume who, for Reid, converge to a possible annihilation of religion and a pessimistic view of science, affecting empiricism, therefore causing a new formulation nearest of skepticism. Therefore Reid formulated the philosophy that he is opposed to Locke and Berkeley and then to David Hume, claiming that reality is independent of our apprehension. In other words, in the perception of the outside world there is no interference of the cognocent subject on the object of knowledge. Our relationship with objects is straight and should not be undermined by intermediation. At implantation of Protestantism in Brazil, via Princeton missionaries, there was not an uncompromising defense of Calvinist principles by missionaries such as Fletcher and Simonton but a continuity of sacred scripture reading by Calvinistic bias, as was done at Princeton Seminary. There was not a marked emphasis on the defense of orthodoxy because the topic of theological liberalism, or the conflict between modernism and fundamentalism was not necessary in the local environment where the predominant concern for evangelization in practical terms. Moreover, the concepts of the Philosophy of Common Sense were close of empiricism mitigated by Silvestre Pinheiro and Victor Cousins eclecticism. Therefore, in Brazil, the place where one sees the use of the philosophy of Common Sense is in discussions among intellectuals in three interesting points: 1st) The Common Sense was restricted to academic space, training new pastors, and the works of Charles Hodge and A.A. Hodge are the main sources of implementing this ratifying mindset of religious experience and thus delineate the face of Protestantism among Presbyterians, one of the major protestant denominations in the late nineteenth century; 2nd) In the debates between Catholic Clergy and Protestant in theological polemics; 3rd) In the utilitarian use of foreign cultural assimilation by the national Protestant, not least, facilitated by the friendliness of the Brazilian liberal to Protestantism, while it maintained a philosophical line nearest mitigated empiricism and eclecticism. Hence, our hypothesis is intended to demonstrate that protestants brought with them the epistemological formulations that were given to a group of intellectuals who formed the framework of the first presbyterian pastors of the history of this denomination. They were converted and assimilated better the new doctrines through more than just preaching, but by his philosophical way of looking at the objects studied, and that such information comes through the epistemological basis of the Common Sense Realism, which finds space in Brazilian republicans ideals of the nineteenth century. / Os missionários protestantes presbiterianos que vieram para o Brasil no início da segunda metade do século XIX trouxeram uma interpretação calvinista da bíblia, pois permaneceram fieis à formação princetoniana que efetivou uma síntese entre ortodoxia calvinista e pietismo. Estes pricetonianos tinham como base epistemológica a filosofia de Thomas Reid, conhecida como o Realismo do Senso Comum. Essa filosofia é utilizada como uma epistemologia reformada, ou calvinista. Ela é compreendida em sua formação escocesa e consequentemente americana, via Princeton, como a Epistemologia Providencial. Desta forma, quando ela é assimilada pelos brasileiros por meio da pregação e da formação teológica, a mesma se torna parte do perfil presbiteriano brasileiro como doutrina filosófica. A Filosofia do Senso Comum se gesta como crítica à filosofia empirista de David Hume que, para Reid, convergiria para um possível aniquilamento da religião e para uma visão pessimista da ciência, afetando o empirismo, por conseguinte, causando uma nova formulação mais próxima do ceticismo. Por isso, Reid formulou a filosofia que para ele contrapõe-se a Locke e Berkeley e depois a David Hume, afirmando que a realidade é independente de nossa apreensão. Ou seja, na percepção do mundo exterior não há interferência do sujeito cognoscente sobre o objeto do conhecimento. A nossa relação com os objetos é direta e não deve ser desvirtuada por intermediações. Na implantação do protestantismo no Brasil, via missionários de Princeton, não houve uma defesa intransigente dos princípios calvinistas por parte de missionários como Fletcher e Simonton e sim uma continuidade da leitura das escrituras sagradas pelo viés calvinista, como era feito no Seminário de Princeton. Não havia uma ênfase acentuada na defesa da ortodoxia porque o tema do liberalismo teológico, ou do conflito entre modernismo e fundamentalismo não se fazia necessário na conjuntura local, onde predominava a preocupação pela evangelização em termos práticos. O conceitos da Filosofia do Senso Comum eram próximos do empirismo mitigado de Silvestre Pinheiro e do Ecletismo de Victor Cousin. Por isso, no Brasil, o local em que mais se vê a utilização da filosofia do Senso Comum é nos debates entre intelectuais, em três pontos interessantes: 1ª) O Senso Comum ficou restrito ao espaço acadêmico, na formação de novos pastores, sendo que as obras de Charles Hodge e A. A. Hodge são as principais fontes de implantação desta mentalidade ratificadora da experiência religiosa e, desta forma, delineiam o rosto do protestantismo entre presbiterianos, uma das principais denominações protestantes do final do século XIX; 2ª) Nos debates entre clérigos católicos e protestantes em polêmicas teológicas;. 3º) No aproveitamento utilitarista da assimilação cultural estrangeira pelos protestantes nacionais, não por último, facilitada pela simpatia dos liberais brasileiros pelo protestantismo, ao mesmo tempo que mantinham uma linha filosófica mais próxima do empirismo mitigado e do ecletismo. Assim, nossa hipótese pretende demonstrar que os protestantes trouxeram em seu bojo as formulações epistemológicas que foram passadas para um grupo de intelectuais, que formaram o quadro dos primeiros pastores presbiterianos da história desta denominação. Eles foram convertidos e assimilaram melhor as novas doutrinas por meio de mais do que simples pregações, mas pela sua forma filosófica de encarar os objetos estudados, e que tais informações vêm por meio da base epistemológica do Realismo do Senso Comum, que encontra espaço nos ideais republicanos brasileiros do século XIX.

Na Alemanha, a Crítica da Razão Pura, em 1781, inaugura uma nova forma de se pensar a metafísica; na França, a queda da Bastilha, em 1789, expressa uma nova forma de se atuar na história. Muita esperança foi depositada nesses dois acontecimentos, mas pouco depois da virada para o século XIX, são diversas as vozes que afirmam que eles já teriam chegado ao um final. A filosofia hegeliana tenta conferir uma resposta a essas vozes. Para tanto, Hegel busca rearticular a relação entre filosofia e história a partir do conceito de carecimento da filosofia. Se, por certo, este conceito é retirado da própria filosofia kantiana, o significado que Hegel lhe confere é significativamente diferente, ligando, antes, a um problema no interior da formação cultural do que a uma faculdade do conhecimento humano. Retrabalhando dois temas centrais da filosofia crítica kantiana a relação da filosofia com o senso comum e a relação do ceticismo com a filosofia Hegel poderá mostrar como o conceito de carecimento de época tem de estar no cerne de toda a filosofia. Evitando, ao mesmo tempo, alçar seja a objetividade, em si mesma, seja a subjetividade, em si mesma, como artífices da unificação entre sujeito e objeto. Paralelamente, para se apreender o verdadeiro significado da Revolução Francesa seria necessário radicalizar o conceito de representação, evitando tanto o conformismo com o Estado máquina, em que a sociedade perde toda a sua liberdade, quanto a nostalgia pelo ideal da liberdade primitiva, em que poderia se viver em uma comunidade sem lei e sem Estado. Para Hegel, somente na medida em que não se compreendeu o verdadeiro significado de cada uma dessas revoluções, seria possível atribuir-lhes um final. / Kant inaugurates a new way of thinking about the metaphysics; the events in France from the fall of the Bastille inaugurate a new way of thinking about politics. Much hope was placed in these two events. However, at the time that Hegel began to publish his first philosophical writings, many voices were heard proclaiming that both would be finishing. This dissertation understands Hegel\'s philosophy as an attempt to answer those voices, showing that only when one may not understand the true meaning of each one, it is possible to assing an end to them. From the Hegelian perspective, to grasp the true significance of Kant\'s philosophy, it would be necessary to radicalize the concept of criticism (which try to avoid that philosophy relapses into common sense and into raving), compelling it to dissolve even sensible things, instead of returning to postulate things supersensible to ensure awareness. Avoiding at the same time, raise the objectivity in itself and the subjectivity in itself, as architects of unification between subject and object want to. In parallel, to grasp the true significance of the French Revolution would be necessary to radicalize the concept of representation, avoiding both conformity with the state machine, where the society loses all its freedom, and the nostalgia for the primitive ideal of freedom, which postulates that it is possible to live in a community without law and without state.

Due theses difficulties in differences in cultural norms, we are working to provide to computers this knowledge, since computer environment can allow communication across distance and across cultures. In order to provide to computers cross cultural knowledge, we have collected large knowledge bases representing Common Sense knowledge because we believe that Common Sense knowledge can give some guidelines about different cultures. In our research, we have used bases containing sentences describing common sense knowledge of people and everyday activities, beliefs and values collected from volunteer Web contributors. Furthermore, we describe experiences with these knowledge bases, and we are proposing software which automatically searches for cultural differences related to eating habits, alerting the user to potential differences among cultures. In this way, we hope that our work will contribute to software that takes better account of such differences, and fosters inter-cultural collaboration / Conhecer características específicas de cada cultura pode ser de grande utilidade na realização da comunicação intercultural, pois culturas diferentes têm noções distintas de como começar e como desenvolver uma conversa. Com o intuito de ajudar as pessoas a lidar com essas diferenças em relação às normas culturais, têm-se trabalhado para que os computadores disponibilizem tal conhecimento, já que um ambiente computacional é um recurso bastante utilizado na comunicação entre pessoas distantes e de culturas diferentes. Para que os computadores possam fornecer esse tipo de informação, têm sido coletadas grandes bases de conhecimento para representar o conhecimento de senso comum, pois, acredita-se que esse conhecimento de senso comum pode dar algumas diretrizes sobre as diferenças. Neste estudo, foram utilizadas algumas bases de conhecimento contendo sentenças que descrevem o senso comum das pessoas e suas atividades diárias, crenças e valores, obtidas através da Web de colaboradores voluntários. Além disso, são descritas experiências que utilizam essas bases de conhecimento, e são propostas aplicações computacionais que fazem buscas de características culturais relacionados aos hábitos alimentares para alertar os usuários sobre as possíveis diferenças entre as culturas. Desta forma, espera-se que o trabalho contribua para que os softwares possam analisar tais diferenças e também estimular a colaboração intercultural.

This work focuses on health education, adopting the promotion of inclusive learning and continuous approaches using IHC, considering the literacy levels of learners, providing simplified lexical and syntactic processing and analogies based on common sense knowledge as an expression of the cultural context of the learner. The generation of hyperdocuments intended primarily for users involved in the Brazilian production of milk having difficulties in reading and access to technical information, presenting different levels of literacy and cultural profiles. To provide this inclusive and culturally diverse environment, firstly, there is a need for hyperdocuments are produced through translation of vocabularies and the identification of meanings, adapting them to the cognitive and linguistic needs of users, to assist them in understanding the training content and meaning. It is noteworthy that these hyperdocuments be adapted and made available according to the level of literacy of users, helping them to overcome cultural barriers, social, emotional, perceptual, and cognitive technology that impede their access to knowledge. For this it is necessary that these contents are to be made available providing text equivalents that replace or supplement the textual contents of the hypermedia, whether through images, videos, narration, text, or audio. In order to observe the process of development of computing and its functional prototype, collecting the views of the target audience and partners, were conducted feasibility studies and experiments with specialist area of computing and agribusiness research, reported in this paper, to verify the feasibility and applicability of the proposal in a real scenario.
