Causation in Reflective Judgment

The existing body of scholarship on Kant’s Critique of Judgment is rife with disagreement. At the centre of much of this disagreement is the issue of precisely what Kant understands to be taking place in a harmonization of the cognitive faculties. Is aesthetic reflective judgment to be identified with, or separated from, this harmonious state of the faculties of imagination and understanding? If aesthetic judgment is identified with this state, as is argued herein, then upon what is a judgment of beauty to be based? These questions are addressed by focussing on two closely related aspects of Kant’s theory of reflective judgment; the role Kant assigns to the power of desire (i.e., to the will) and to the causal structure implicated in reflective judgment. In brief, we argue that a judgment of beauty is not, strictly speaking, something that I do, but is better described that something that happens of itsel

Adaptive Histogram Equalization, a Parallel Implementation

Adaptive Histogram Equalization (AHE) has been recognized as a valid method of contrast enhancement. The main advantage of AHE is that it can provide better contrast in local areas than that achievable utilizing traditional histogram equalization methods. Whereas traditional methods consider the entire image, AHE utilizes a local contextual region. However, AHE is computationally expensive, and therefore time-consuming. In this work two areas of computer science, image processing and parallel processing, are combined to produce an efficient algorithm. In particular, the AHE algorithm is implemented with a Multiple-Instruction-Multiple-Data (MIMD) parallel architecture. It is proposed that, as MIMD machines become more powerful and prevalent, this methodology can be applied to not only this particular algorithm, but also to many others in its class

ANALYSIS OF THE ITALIAN FOOTBALL IN THE 2016 EUROPEAN FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

The 15th European Football Championship (UEFA) was hosted by France. Italy exhibited a different football from this previous tournament. Italy participated in the European Football Championship 8 times, played three finals and won this trophy in 1968. Before 2016, Italian football is a team that has adopted the strict defense principle. It is aimed to reach the result based on standing balls and individual actions. With the 5-4-1 and 4-5-1 game system, the defense is not at risk and few players are attacked. In the preference of players, players with good defense power are preferred. In EURO 2016, Italy football; Looking at the comments from around the world, it has changed the style and style of the game. It is seen that it applies new trends in football. We can summarize some of these trends as follows; there is a very tactically trained team that can play different systems. Different game systems have been applied in different matches. It was observed that they wanted to direct the game by owning the ball. When they lost the ball, oppression was set up instead of waiting for the opponent to make mistakes. Distance between locations has been established as 35-40 m. Instead of waiting behind the ball, the opponent was directed to the press area to create pressure against the ball. These situations caused the Italian football team to play an attractive football. Article visualizations
