My claim is that Durkheim‘s sociology is driven on the philosophy of consciousness. To make my point I will start by stressing the importance of the concept of representation in his work. Then I will show that this conception ...

We prove that a polar orthogonal representation of a real reductive algebraic group has the same closed orbits as the isotropy representation of a pseudo-Riemannian symmetric space. We also develop a partial structural ...

A graphical representation of the model-theoretic structure of explanation is used to reconstruct five distinct specializations of Mendelian genetics. Structural variations between the five models are highlighted and used ...

One way to organize knowledge and make its search and retrieval easier is to create a structural representation divided by hierarchically related topics. Once this structure is built, it is necessary to find labels for ...

We present a data structure that stores a sequence s[1..n] over alphabet [1..σ ] in nH0(s) + o(n)(H0(s)+1) bits, where H0(s) is the zero-order entropy of s. This structure supports the queries access, rank and select, ...

The theory of social representations is one of the most vigorous areas in social psychology. Far from constituting a homogeneous body of knowledge, the theory consists of several analytical perspectives, including the ...

The attitudes and social representations are competing, alternative research programs to explain psychosocial phenomena. The study of the attitudes has followed a mentalist tradition while some argue that social representations ...
