The good friends we make along the way: good friendship and epistemic rationality by Dacanay, Joseph Andrei Aczon

“…Afterwards, the thesis considers and addresses the objections of whether we should take epistemic virtues to form our epistemic norms and rationality if close-mindedness is taken to be an epistemic virtue; and whether having more rational beliefs that comes from the good friendship itself still counts as epistemic partiality and bias (§4).…”

Comparison of artificial intelligence and traditional image processing algorithms for intelligent transportion systems by Manushri, Akunuri

“…These samples were then extracted into frames and analysed using different image processing techniques within Python and AI approaches, specifically the YOLOv8 Convolutional Neural Network model, were applied to obtain quantitative data on vehicle classification and count. This allowed for a comparative analysis to identify superior algorithms and techniques. …”

A tale of two reviews: examining the content and ideology of two single-blind reviews by Toh, Glenn

“…Drawing on observations concerning coercive and oppressive relational and educational practices found in Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed as well as scholarly works in Critical Discourse Analysis critiquing inequitable practices within academic and social domains, I argue that a more academically (and socially) accountable, conscionable and humanizing alternative is one which engenders greater openness to questions concerning: (1) who it might be that gets to determine what counts as (publishable) knowledge; and (2) how such formulations of knowledge may be tied to powerful or ideologized ways of knowing and meaning making. …”

UJI TARIK PADA TIANG UNTUK PENENTUAN MODULUS GESEK TIANG (k1) by , ANDIKANOZA PRADIPTIYA, , Dr. Ir. Hary Christady Hardiyatmo, M.Eng., DEA

“…The results showed that the value of kt tends to decrease with increasing value of . kt of pile on clay is larger about 200% to 500% from pile on sand because the clay tends to give cohesive effect to the pile. Rs that is counted from kt can only approach the value of Rs observations so that requires further consideration to design application.…”
