    Conference proceedings info: ICICT 2023: 2023 The 6th International Conference on Information and Computer Technologies Raleigh, HI, United States, March 24-26, 2023 Pages 529-542We provide a model for systematic implementation of telemedicine within a large evaluation center for COVID-19 in the area of Baja California, Mexico. Our model is based on human-centric design factors and cross disciplinary collaborations for scalable data-driven enablement of smartphone, cellular, and video Teleconsul-tation technologies to link hospitals, clinics, and emergency medical services for point-of-care assessments of COVID testing, and for subsequent treatment and quar-antine decisions. A multidisciplinary team was rapidly created, in cooperation with different institutions, including: the Autonomous University of Baja California, the Ministry of Health, the Command, Communication and Computer Control Center of the Ministry of the State of Baja California (C4), Colleges of Medicine, and the College of Psychologists. Our objective is to provide information to the public and to evaluate COVID-19 in real time and to track, regional, municipal, and state-wide data in real time that informs supply chains and resource allocation with the anticipation of a surge in COVID-19 cases.

    Language And Conjuncture in Populist Strategy: Podemos And Contemporary Spanish Political Thought

    Full text link
    In recent times, emergent political movements have sought to construct a project of political renewal based upon the search for such a new language, renaming and rewording both the political world and their own traditions. One such is the Spanish political party Podemos, whose sudden rise and success has already made it a referent for contemporary radical politics. This group has articulated a political strategy based upon what I call a politico-linguistic conjecture: the idea that an effective political strategy is dependent on finding the right words for the moment, on an appropriate fit between conjuncture and discourse. The production of a new vocabulary, style, and grammar of politics is therefore proposed as the condition for effective political action: only by doing so can the confusions of the social world be translated into a precise political tactic. Yet, if it is possible to both require such a new language, without which one could not change the world, while at the same time already being engaged in the process of doing so without the appropriate words, is there not a crisis in the conceptual framework used for understanding what is required of language in political strategy? In response, I read the thought of those behind and around Podemos as a textual repository of a specific, situated practice of analysis, and reading of events. A practice that, moreover, displays a close connection to the conjuncturally imposed problems and tasks. In that sense, I also consult a number of contemporaneous discussions of its theoretical import, evaluations of its strategy and theory that conform a creative milieu of political thought that spans reflections situated in Spain, but also in Latin America. Thus, in analyzing Podemos I seek materials for a wider theoretical discussion about political strategy. After an introduction that sets the problem by looking at the problem of political aphasia, reviewing the development of the concept of conjuncture, and reviewing the literature on the emergence of Podemos, Chapter Two discusses the relation between Podemos as political party and the social movements that defined the context in which it emerged. I do so by looking at the arguments presented for the necessity of the translation of an inarticulate social into the language of the political. Chapters Three and Four consider subsequently the analyses of Podemos’ two most prominent thinkers: Pablo Iglesias and Íñigo Errejón. The former is discussed with reference to his media leadership and the program Otra Vuelta de Tuerka as a labor of memory. The latter through a reading of his works analyzing the conjuncture into which Podemos would insert itself originally. These chapters reveal the contours of an adaptation of theories of populism and hegemony, appropriating them for action in a specific context. Chapters Five and Six represent an extended argument regarding attempts at synthesizing populism and republicanism. What emerges from this discussion is in part an awareness that the political import of Podemos as a contemporary political project exceeds what can be contained in the terms of populism. Chapter Five concludes by identifying the possibility that recent attempts at combining republican and populist concerns evince an attitude towards social conflict, that sees it as the unavoidable horizon of political action, rather than as a means for progress in the sense of an overcoming of the present conditions of oppression. Chapter Six develops an answer to this problem by looking at the theory of Claude Lefort, specifically his study of social conflict and division in Machiavelli. I respond to Lefort through a reading of Machiavelli that stresses his character as teacher and his approach to political conjunctures. In doing so, I consider not only Machiavelli’s well-known praise for social conflict, but also his ideas about the possibility of transforming language and of the necessity of re-founding. Finally, I provide a political conclusion with indications for the articulation of a political theory that does not see the need for linguistic articulation as a limit

    From transformational grammar to constraint-based approaches

    Synopsis: This book introduces formal grammar theories that play a role in current linguistic theorizing (Phrase Structure Grammar, Transformational Grammar/Government & Binding, Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar, Categorial Grammar, Head-​Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Construction Grammar, Tree Adjoining Grammar). The key assumptions are explained and it is shown how the respective theory treats arguments and adjuncts, the active/passive alternation, local reorderings, verb placement, and fronting of constituents over long distances. The analyses are explained with German as the object language. The second part of the book compares these approaches with respect to their predictions regarding language acquisition and psycholinguistic plausibility. The nativism hypothesis, which assumes that humans posses genetically determined innate language-specific knowledge, is critically examined and alternative models of language acquisition are discussed. The second part then addresses controversial issues of current theory building such as the question of flat or binary branching structures being more appropriate, the question whether constructions should be treated on the phrasal or the lexical level, and the question whether abstract, non-visible entities should play a role in syntactic analyses. It is shown that the analyses suggested in the respective frameworks are often translatable into each other. The book closes with a chapter showing how properties common to all languages or to certain classes of languages can be captured.This book is a new edition of http://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/25, http://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/195, http://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/255 , and http://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/287.Fifth revised and extended editio

    What Is Cognitive Psychology?

    What Is Cognitive Psychology? identifies the theoretical foundations of cognitive psychology—foundations which have received very little attention in modern textbooks. Beginning with the basics of information processing, Michael R. W. Dawson explores what experimental psychologists infer about these processes and considers what scientific explanations are required when we assume cognition is rule-governed symbol manipulation. From these foundations, psychologists can identify the architecture of cognition and better understand its role in debates about its true nature. This volume offers a deeper understanding of cognitive psychology and presents ideas for integrating traditional cognitive psychology with more modern fields like cognitive neuroscience.Publishe
