Vladimir Janda, MD, DSc - Tribute to a master of rehabilitation

The purpose of this presentation is to pay tribute to the life's work of Professor Vladimir Janda, a key figure in the 20th Century rehabilitation movement. An accomplished neurologist, he founded the rehabilitation department at Charles University Hospital in Prague, Czechoslovakia. He was one of the seminal members of the Prague school of manual medicine and rehabilitation that expanded its influence throughout Central and Eastern Europe. His observations regarding muscle imbalances, faulty posture and gait, and their association with chronic pain syndromes, etiologically, diagnostically, and therapeutically, influenced the rehabilitation world. The authors comprise a multinational, multiprofessional group representative of rehabilitation specialists around the world who would like to pay tribute and give a final word of thanks to this innovative educator, clinician, and author.

How Vladimir Putin’s Divorce Story Was Constructed and Received, or When the President Divorced His Wife and Married the Country Instead

When the Russian president divorced his wife in 2013, social media crowds coined plenty of the Internet memes to interpret the news. Anastasia Denisova, Doctoral Researcher at CAMRI, examined the framing of the story in traditional and new media and came to the surprising findings.

La grâce dans la philosophie de Vladimir Jankélévitch

Ce mémoire a pour objet de décrire l’opération de la grâce dans la pensée de Jankélévitch. Pour y parvenir, notre exposé prendra la forme d’un itinéraire éthique. Nous montrerons d’abord que l’homme peut vouloir de deux manières différentes. Il peut se préférer lui-même, se placer comme finalité de son action ou bien, à l’inverse, choisir l’autre comme point focal. Cette deuxième option ne va pas de soi et nécessite un effort de liberté. Dans un deuxième temps, nous expliquerons que ces deux manières de vouloir impliquent la conscience. Se préférer module la conscience tout comme préférer son prochain. Or, la conscience est animée d’une dynamique propre. L’éthique devra chercher à allier la manière de vouloir à celle-ci. Un bon vouloir en phase avec l’évolution de la conscience mène à l’innocence, le stade ultime de la conscience, aussi appelée l’état de grâce. Cet état de grâce est un point culminant, difficile à atteindre et qui commande un important effort de liberté. Il rend possible l’opération de la grâce, objet de notre troisième chapitre. L’opération de la grâce est un moment de conversion qui place l’homme au-dessus de sa nature biologique et le fait coïncider avec un mouvement métempirique. Lorsque cela se produit, l’agent touche au sommet de la vie morale jankélévitchienne, il devient créateur de valeur, générateur de la morale.

Building an ontology and process architecture for engineering asset management

Historically, asset management focused primarily on the reliability and maintainability of assets; organisations have since then accepted the notion that a much larger array of processes govern the life and use of an asset. With this, asset management’s new paradigm seeks a holistic, multi-disciplinary approach to the management of physical assets. A growing number of organisations now seek to develop integrated asset management frameworks and bodies of knowledge. This research seeks to complement existing outputs of the mentioned organisations through the development of an asset management ontology. Ontologies define a common vocabulary for both researchers and practitioners who need to share information in a chosen domain. A by-product of ontology development is the realisation of a process architecture, of which there is also no evidence in published literature. To develop the ontology and subsequent asset management process architecture, a standard knowledge-engineering methodology is followed. This involves text analysis, definition and classification of terms and visualisation through an appropriate tool (in this case, the Protégé application was used). The result of this research is the first attempt at developing an asset management ontology and process architecture.
