STATEMENT REGARDING MAGNIFICAT

This thesis statement presents an analysis and explanation of a music composition entitled: Magnificat. The full music score to the Magnificat may be found in the collection of the Music Department of the School of the Arts, Virginia Commonwealth University. The King James Version is the source for all of Biblical text. The presentation here of the text for the Magnificat corresponds to the manner it is introduced into the music score. Thus, the use of small case primarily to contrast those parts of the text of high volume intensity which are capitalized, and parallel text to show simultaneous reading

On the continuity of the magnetizing current density in 3-D magnetic field analysis with edge element

The effects of the continuity of the magnetizing current density on the convergence of the incomplete Cholesky conjugate gradient method and the accuracy of the calculated flux densities are investigated by imposing different continuity conditions for both nodal and edge elements. It is shown that the continuity condition should be imposed precisely in the case of edge elements </p

Classifying emotions in Stack Overflow and JIRA using a multi-label approach

A forum or social media post can express multiple emotions, such as love, joy or anger. Emotion classification has been proven useful for measuring aspects such as user satisfaction. Despite its usefulness, research in emotion classification is limited, because the task is multi-label and publicly available data sets and lexica are very limited. A number of emotion classifiers for general-domain text have been proposed recently, but only a few for text in the domain of Open Source Software (OSS), such as EmoTxt. In this paper, we explore different lexica and two multi-label algorithms for classifying emotions in text related to OSS. We trained various multi-label classifiers using HOMER and RAkEL on a data set of Stack Overflow posts and a data set of JIRA Issue Tracker comments. The classifiers have been enriched with features derived from different state-of-the-art lexica. We achieved multi-label Micro F-scores up to 0.811 and Subset 0/1 Loss of 0.290. These results represent a statistically significant improvement over the state-of-the-art

Nietzsche and Christianity

The article presents connections between philosophy of Nietzsche and the Christian tradition. Author's considerations are not restricted to how Nietzsche assessed Christianity and what he thought of it, but rather: did he reason aptly, did he grasp it correctly. It is a fact that Nietzsche fights with Christianity, which does not prevent him from internalizing some Christian themes in spite of having a very superficial and incomplete picture of it. There are unquestionable differences in both doctrines such as the relationship to the issues of truth, compassion, transcendence, mercy and eternity. Nevertheless they share a large number of common elements: praise for authenticity, creativity and freedom, the ethics of dignity, the postulate of selfformation, appreciation of suffering, rejection of revenge and everything that is small and false, and finally, discipline of the will craving repetition as a confirmation of self, faithfulness to self

Impartiality, Close Friendships and the Confucian Tradition

This article explores the relationship between friendship and morality. Two ideas have been influential in the history of moral philosophy: the impartial standpoint and close friendship. These two perspectives on thought and action can conflict, however, and such a case is presented here. In an attempt to resolve these tensions, and understand the assumption that gives rise to it, I explore an alternative conception of moral conduct and friendship suggested by early Confucian thought. Within this account, moral conduct is that which aims at harmony, understood as the appropriate blending of different elements. This suggests a conception of friendship that realizes harmony through a focus on shared activities, and the quality of interaction achieved between people as they participate in shared social events. This account offers a novel way of conceptualizing friendship, which also avoids the tension between the impartial standpoint and close friendship
