Underload on the Road: Measuring Vigilance Decrements During Partially Automated Driving.ThomasMcWilliams &Nathan Ward -2021 -Frontiers in Psychology 12.detailsPartially automated vehicle technology is increasingly common on-road. While this technology can provide safety benefits to drivers, it also introduces new concerns about driver attention. In particular, during partially automated driving, drivers are expected to stay vigilant so they can readily respond to important events in their environment. However, using partially automated vehicles on the highway places drivers in monotonous situations and requires them to do very little. This can place the driver in a state of cognitive underload in which (...) they experience a very small amount of cognitive demand. In this situation, drivers can exhibit vigilance decrements which impact their ability to respond to on-road threats. This is of particular concern in situations when the partially automated vehicle fails to respond to a potentially critical situation and leaves all responsibility to safely navigate to the driver. This paper reviews situations that lead to vigilance decrements and characterizes the different methodologies of measuring driver vigilance during PAD, highlighting their advantages and limitations. Based on our reading of the literature, we summarize several factors future research on vigilance decrements in PAD should consider. (shrink)

Fortress vaticana.Thomas Sheehan -manuscriptdetailsThe first mistake would be to think the Vatican's recent declaration Dominus Iesus is primarily a theological document. It is not -- even though it advertises itself as being that, with a specific focus on (according to its subtitle) "The Unicity and Salvific Universality of Jesus Christ and the Church.".

Man and world 30 (1997), 227-238.Thomas Sheehan -manuscriptdetailsMany of us first met this translation some twenty years ago in its then typed format--690 double-space pages replete with hundreds of handwritten corrections. Now two decades later, a glance at that earlier manuscript reveals that little has changed in the intervening years: The published book is virtually identical to the earliest typed manuscript. So too, the Introduction here (JS 1-35) is the same one that appeared in Basic Writings (1977, 41-89), with only minor orthographical changes.

Law addressing diversity: pre-modern Europe and India in comparison (13th-18th centuries).Thomas Ertl &Gijs Kruijtzer (eds.) -2017 - Boston: De Gruyter Oldenbourg.detailsOf late, historians have been realising that South Asia and Europe have more in common than a particular strand in the historiography on "the rise of the West" would have us believe. In both world regions a plurality of languages, religions, and types of belonging by birth was in premodern times matched by a plurality of legal systems and practices. This volume describes case-by-case the points where law and social diversity intersected.
Engaging anthropology: the case for a public presence.Thomas Hylland Eriksen -2006 - New York: Berg.detailsEngaging Anthropology takes an unflinching look at why the discipline has not gained the popularity and respect it deserves in the twenty-first century.While showcasing the intellectual power of discipline, Eriksen takes the anthropological community to task for its unwillingness to engage more proactively with the media in a wide range of current debates, from immigrant issues to biotechnology. Eriksen argues that anthropology needs to rediscover the art of narrative and abandon arid analysis and, more provocatively, anthropologists need to lose their (...) fear of plunging into the vexed issues modern societies present.

Law, Ethics and Electronic Commerce.Thomas Hoeren -2005 -International Review of Information Ethics 3:06.detailsUnlike the Internet community had expected electronic commerce does not lead to an anarchic dissolution of law. In the context of electronic trade, problems arising between users and providers can be solved, for instance by applying traditional principles of contract law. And yet, the legal dispute of Internet related facts and circumstances gives rise to a number of interesting topoi. Even though these subjects have already been considered in the past , they only now show their specific explosive effect and (...) diversity in the face of the electronic commerce. (shrink)
George Berkeley.Thomas Edmund Jessop -1959 - [London]: Published for the British Council by Longmans, Green.detailsBerkeley (1685-1753) is a favourite philosopher because, as the author of this essay says, 'he thought so well and felt so clearly that sympathetic sentences dropped naturally from his pen'. Reading him is one of the finest mental exercises we can enjoy: 'He thrust his mind into several fields, and distinguished himself in several.... We get the fairest measure of him when we see him as one who could think well about most matters.' Professor Jessop, whose chair is in Hull (...) University, is associated with Professor A. A. Luce as editor of Berkeley's works and this essay will demonstrate that he is not only one of Berkeley's greatest editors but also one of his most illuminating exponents. (shrink)
Language, world, and God: an essay in ontology.Thomas Augustine Francis Kelly -1996 - Dublin: Columba.detailsThis work is an attempt to elaborate an understanding of the nature and meaning of ontology, and on that basis, to construct it. The starting-point and clue for the construction of ontology is language, and language's power to express what is. The understanding of ontology which is secured in this essay is one which sees ontology as the linguistically conditioned account of what is and of the existence of what is, an account which becomes, coordinately and equally, onto-theology and onto-anthropology, (...) in which latter, the nature of person is adumbrated as transcendence towards Being as value and value as Being.
