Influence of the Widespread Use of Corten Plate on the Acoustics of the European Solidarity Centre Building in Gdansk
PublicationThis paper describes the relationship between a strong architectural vision that is difficult to balance, and user expectations in terms of acoustics. The focus is on the use of corten steel as the dominant finishing material on façades and interiors to achieve an expressive, symbolic message through program-based design. The architectural premises justifying the adopted solutions are presented, especially the universality and...

THE INFLUENCE OF GESTALT THEORY ON ERNST CASSIRER’S PHENOMENOLOGY OF SYMBOLIC FORMS
PublicationIn the opinion of many scholars the notion of symbolic pregnancy is one of the key concepts in Ernst Cassirer’s philosophy of symbolic forms. Without a proper under-standing of its conceptual frame Cassirer’s philosophy lacks a consistent foundation. The notion symbolic pregnancy offers the mechanism of distinction of symbolic forms. The newest investigations (also in unpublished or less known, neglected writings of the philosopher)...

O symbolicznej pregnancji
PublicationThe aim of the article is to introduce and demonstrate the specificity of Cassirer ̓s concept of symbolic pregnancy. This concept is considered by many scholars to be the most important, root concept of his entire philosophy of symbolic forms. It constitutes the originality of his phenomenology in comparison with that of Husserl, Brentano, Scheler or Heidegger.

Emotions Embodied in the SVC of an Autonomous Driver System
PublicationA concept of embodied intelligence (EI) is considered. None of such implementations can be fully identified with artificial intelligence. Projects that dare to approach AI and EI should be based on both the AI concepts (symbolic and sub-symbolic), in solving real problems of perception and decision-making. Therefore, the EI, in this paper, is understood as a methodology that uses all available resources and algorithms from the...

Dynamic Bayesian Networks for Symbolic Polyphonic Pitch Modeling
PublicationSymbolic pitch modeling is a way of incorporating knowledge about relations between pitches into the process of an- alyzing musical information or signals. In this paper, we propose a family of probabilistic symbolic polyphonic pitch models, which account for both the “horizontal” and the “vertical” pitch struc- ture. These models are formulated as linear or log-linear interpo- lations of up to fi ve sub-models, each of which is...

Symbolic multibody models for digital-twin applications
PublicationSymbolic generation of multibody systems equations of motion appeared in the 1980s. In addition to their computational advantage over their numerical counterparts, symbolic models can be very easily and straightforwardly interfaced with a wide range of software environments and hardware devices. These two features place this approach in a pole position to participate and intervene in the design of digital twins for systems such...

An Extended Control of the Input Angle for Matrix Converters Connected with the Non-Unity Power Factor Loads.
PublicationThis paper proposes a novel PWM modulation algorithm for Multiphase Conventional Matrix Converters (MCMC), with 3 inputs and k outputs, using the transfer function of the load angle. The proposed approach extends the range of power angle control at the input during the operation with a maximum voltage transfer ratio. The proposed concept is based on the Direct Analytic Voltage PWM (DAV--PWM) modulation with an elliptical trajectory...

Philosophy of Symbolic Forms and a Mystery of “Appearing Itself ”. Cassirer in the Context of Phenomenology
Publicationin the publications concerning Cassirer, whose number has been increasing for about a dozen years, more and more space is devoted to the genesis of his philosophy, and more attention is paid to its linkage to Neo-Kantian Marburg school. Also, in addition to Kantian, Hegelian and Goethean heritage in Cassirer’s philosophy is indicated, while its discovered philosophical foundations make it possible to regard the author of The Philosophy...

Linking Fashion and Tourism: From Body to Clothing and Lifestyle
PublicationThere are many profound links between fashion and tourism. This chapter provides a critical reflection, mainly from a philosophical, historical, and linguistic perspective, on the dynamic relationship and parallel evolution between these two sectors. It explains how their intercon nectedness form and mirror contemporary society. This chapter classifies the connections between the two, starting with the person, her body, and the...

Ernst Cassirer's Idea of the Critique of Knowledge
PublicationArticle is a systematic and historical presentation of a specific understanding of the idea of transcendentalism, developed in so called Marburg School of neo-Kantianism. Their unique line of interpretation of Kant’s critical philosophy which consisted in contrasting critical (relational) and dogmatic (substantial) understanding of basic philosophical concepts is characteristic, from one hand, of Marburg School of idealism and,...

Recurrence scheme for FDTD-compatible discrete Green's function derived based on properties of Gauss hypergeometric function
PublicationIn this paper, the formulation of one-dimensional FDTD (Finite-difference time-domain)-compatible discrete Green's function (DGF) is derived based on the Gauss hypergeometric function (GHF). The properties of GHF make it possible to derive the recurrence scheme only in the time domain for the DGF generation. Furthermore, this recurrence scheme is valid for any stable time-step size and can be implemented using standard numerical...

Technological and Media Platforms: Redefinition of Meanings as Symbolic Power over the Discourse
PublicationRedefining the meanings of such social terms as “likes” and “friends” on Facebook is a popular practice. In terms of consistency, the (auto)-redefinition of the term “platform” is itself particularly important from a media management perspective. The article proposes to consider the redefinition of meanings as a form of wielding non-transparent power over discourse. From this perspective, redefining a meaning is a form of holding...

GDANSK-ORUNIA AS A LIVING LAB FOR INNOVATION IN REVITALISATION
PublicationPoland is at the beginning of the revitalization process, which started in 2015, when the legal framework had been provided. The revitalization process, understood as an innovative change that is based on four equally important aspects – the social, the economic, the infrastructural and the ecological ones, has been facing an important barrier in Poland. After over two decades of constant modernization, public involvement in planning...

Detecting coupling directions with transcript mutual information: A comparative study
PublicationCausal relationships are important to understand the dynamics of coupled processes and, moreover, to influence or control the effects by acting on the causes. Among the different approaches to determine cause-effect relationships and, in particular, coupling directions in interacting random or deterministic processes, we focus in this paper on information-theoretic measures. So, we study in the theoretical part the difference between...
