The contents of this title explain the philosophical activities, directed at understanding and clarifying the concepts, methods, and doctrines of other disciplines, or at reasoning itself and the concepts, methods, and doctrines of such general notions as truth, possibility, knowledge (epistemology), necessity, existence (ontology and metaphysics), and proof.
Download or read book Interactive Systems written by Andreas Sofroniou and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-01-02 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interactive systems respond to instructions from users fast enough to allow transactions to be completed almost immediately. While the precise structure of the future interactive systems is not yet clear, many directions of growth seem apparent. The current designs and organisation of databases obviate the need to duplicate information in order to meet the various requirements of different groups of users, thus ensuring that the data always remain consistent. Additionally, the use of relational databases enable the Internet users a number of essential services; including data transfer, electronic mail and the ability to access information in remote databases. Integrated systems, therefore, are connected services making it possible for users to communicate with each other anywhere on the network. The safe running of systems needs to keep information protected from harm, theft, vandalism, fraud and invasion of privacy, which means continuous security development of software and hardware devices.
Download or read book Mine own Ideology Idealism Politics written by Andreas Sofroniou and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concepts and writings are not timeless and should instead be understood in terms of the historical context in which they developed. Ideology is a political belief-system which explains the world as it currently is and suggests how it should be changed. The term describes social classes, especially that of capitalism or bourgeoisie. Ideology is recognised as the means by which people perceive the social world and consciously subscribe to a political creed. Idealism is a set of views according to which the physical world is dependent upon the mind; we somehow create the world. Idealists are not saying that our experience of the world is other than what it is; simply a collection of 'ideas' that are coherent. Politics is the study and practice of how people are governed. Efforts are made to influence, gain, or wield power at various levels of government, internally and internationally, including dispute resolution, formal elections to the threat or use of outright coercion or force.
Download or read book ACADEMIA THE RIGHT TO PURSUE KNOWLEDGE written by Andreas Sofroniou and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every individual has the right to pursue knowledge, to engage in research, or to teach independently of any political control. Academic freedom is desirable because knowledge is best discovered by the open investigation of facts and opinions. Nations exercise control over academic and educational systems. Some exploit this control for the purpose of indoctrination. Political theorists as diverse as Plato and Marx have argued that education gives people power to change their lives and enables whole societies to develop. The value of education can be illustrated by its impact in poorer countries. For the individual, education means access to better-paid, more varied jobs and higher status. Governments usually wish to hold down the potentially limitless costs of education while ensuring the production of a skilled and law-abiding citizenry, whereas others may have concerns about curriculum, assessment and discipline. In consequence, battles may be fought, but are rarely conclusively won.
Download or read book Instincts and Mechanism of Behaviour written by Andreas Sofroniou and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-05 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instinct is the mechanism by which animals and humans can perform complex behaviour patterns without learning or conscious effort. Instinctive behaviours are inherited and have evolved to be adaptive, fitting the organism to its particular role. Instinct is of particular importance in animal behaviours such as courtship, mating, and other reproductive activities. More general behaviours such as feeding and defence may have an instinctive base. Many birds, some grasshoppers, frogs, and a number of other animals have song or call patterns that attract mates and are based upon instinct. Instinctive behaviours often require a stimulus or releaser to initiate them. The herring-gull chick pecks the red spot on the adult's bill, releasing its instinctive feeding behaviour. A releaser will operate only if conditions, both internal and external to the organism, are suitable.
Download or read book International Law Global Relations World Powers written by Andreas Sofroniou and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-01-25 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International law, sometimes called the law of nations, has evolved over the last 400 years. The three major sources of international law according to Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice are: international conventions or treaties; international customs; and the general principles of law as recognized by civilized nations. The Permanent Court of Arbitration was established by the Hague Conferences of 1899 and 1907, and the Permanent Court of International Justice was set up in 1921 and succeeded in 1946 by the International Court of Justice. Since World War II international organizations such as the UN and its related bodies have contributed to the expansion and increased scope of international law to include political and strategic affairs, economic, social, communications, and environmental matters. By the 1990s international law had shown its durability and flexibility by expanding to cover new areas of world relations, and its efficacy through the machinery of the UN.
Download or read book Empires and Colonialism written by Andreas Sofroniou and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An empire is the absolute dynasty of a group of countries under the rule of one sovereign State. It can be an extensive territory, an aggregate of many States, all under the ultimate authority of one person, an emperor or empress. It may also be a ruling of people reluctant to give up carefully nurtured empires, which are governed by supreme and extensive political dominion, with absolute control and paramount influence. In years bygone, this was mainly the position or dignity of an emperor, now very rare. In a few cases, throughout history, an empire-builder (a person who added to a territory) sought to increase his or her country's authority. A good example would be that of the British Empire who often employed a British overseas administrator, whose responsibility would be to sustain the governed areas and to handle the activities regarding the building of the worldwide empire. According to scripted historical events, there were many empires in the world, where some are still taught in schools.
Download or read book CYPRUS COLONISED BY MOST EMPIRES written by Andreas Sofroniou and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-11-07 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eastern Mediterranean island of Cyprus is probably one of the most ancient of civilised countries in the world, with a history of more than twelve thousand years of civilisation and human development. Yet, hardly ever was Cyprus completely liberated from the most ancient and historical empires of the Middle East and the European dynasties. From the ancient classical times, the Greeks settled in Cyprus and remained until the present times. Since Alexander the Great's occupation, the Ptolemaic period, Cleopatra's kingdom, and thereafter centuries long of Byzantine Hellenism, the Cypriots remained as Grecian as any other part of the prolonged Hellenic history. Otherwise, Empires such as the Hittites, Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians, Egyptians, Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines, Italian Kingdoms, French, Franks, Ottoman, British, and Turks, are just a few of the people who made Cyprus their own.

Download or read book Theology Relationship of Religions Philosophy written by Andreas Sofroniou and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THEOLOGY RELATIONSHIP OF RELIGIONS AND PHILOSOPHY Theological functions and interests imply that theology can master the disciplines with which it is confronted. Theology is based on authority (revelation) as documented in scriptures of various religions, philosophical, philological, historical studies and hermeneutical (critical interpretive) questions. Theological tasks broaden into a concern with the history and traditions of religions. With such approaches difficult and controversial questions arise; whether and to what extent the scriptural standards of the sources of revelation are modified by traditions. These problems play an important part in the relationship of people, cultures and their political philosophies. Thus, the question of truth posed by theology requires the constitution of a discipline that specifically concerns itself with fundamental questions, as is in systematic theology.
Download or read book POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY FOR GOVERNMENTS PEOPLE written by Andreas Sofroniou and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes simple definitions of philosophical concepts of great thinkers from around the world. Currently, the latest views of politics and the philosophical aspects of these are not helping any peaceful solutions; with the world powers striving for attention to their megalomaniac ambitions. The remarks that walls must be built to keep immigrants out, trade embargos and leaders of being weak are all negative. 'Fools build walls, wise men build bridges' makes sense and ought to encourage people to read more about political philosophy. This isolationistic attitude can be clearly defined by the psychotherapeutic branch of philosophy. In old age people regress to the earliest stages of their development. Thus Presidents, Prime Ministers and Leaders of Governments bear the same syndromes of regressive behaviour. In feeling omni-powerful the bigger nations take advantage of disagreements and conflicts; when they consider it appropriate to invade and cause havoc among the minorities.

Download or read book RELATIONAL DATABASES AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS written by Andreas Sofroniou and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A database is a logically organised collection of related data, generally accessed by a set of programs known as a Database Management System (DBMS), which oversees the creation and use of the database and controls access to the data. The organisation of a database obviates the need to duplicate information to meet the various requirements of different groups of users, and ensures that the data always remains consistent. A large database requires extensive storage facilities. In some organisations and services, databases can be accessed over networks from microcomputers or as videotex. 'Relational' databases and hypertext techniques include extensive and complex cross-reference facilities so that information on related items may be retrieved. Many database programs have been designed to run on micro-computers. Some of these contain computer languages that enable users to change the operation of the database to suit their requirements.
Download or read book INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT written by Andreas Sofroniou and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 436 pages of six books (integrated into one tome) include Information Technology, Management, Artificial Intelligence, Internet, Expert Systems, Systems Analysis, Computing, Risk Management, and Change Management. In writing this volume, the author took into consideration the advance of today's information technology and computing in general, the principles of work and leisure alike, factory and business operations, networking, defence, medicine, education and the domestic environment. Also, the social concerns that computers and their systems influence our attitudes to privacy, and employment. Although the world of computing became smaller with new ultra-small computing systems, equipped with wireless networking systems worldwide, the reader can appreciate that the construction of such systems is as complex as a house built in a swamp. It does, therefore, require careful planning and design. Just as a house must have an architect's plan, so does a system.
Download or read book Analysis of Logic and Sanity written by Andreas Sofroniou and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the ages man has been pre-occupied with logic, sanity and moral standards, probably more than other concepts. Societies through their various stages of evolution varied the theme with distinct differences in their demands on standards, dogmas, and regional culture. These variations of morality place a big demand on science. Individuals from different cultures, social groups, of known and unknown social norms may occupy the practitioner's couch; the significance of this being the understanding demanded of the therapist. People live in groups and humans choose to live in groups, simply for what they can get out of society. Those who choose to live in solitude become recluse in monasteries and nunneries, or become thinkers in isolation high up in mountains. The causation theory regarding the logic and sanity analysis in this book includes the seemingly necessary connection between one event (the cause) and the other (the effect).
