The present paper is an attempt to show some aspects of the organization of the LEXICON in two languages, namely, English and Mod Greek. Both of them seem to have constructions of the form NPI V NP2 ADJ. But note that such constructions in English can mean either: ‘NPI V NP2 when NP2 be ADJ’ or: ‘NPI V NP2 with the result that NP2 be ADJ’, whereas in Mod Greek, on the other hand, only the former interpretation is possible. In other words, resultative clauses like, for instance, the counterpart of the English sentence The blacksmith pounded the metal flat are normally unavailable in Mod Greek. The paper first examines the possibility of whether this is due to the inability of the Verb to θ-select the ADJ in Mod Greek. This approach to the problem, however, does not seem to be able to offer a principled account for the difference between English and Mod Greek, given that there are constructions of the form NPI V NP2 ADJ, where θ-selection, alias θ- marking, is possible in that language. A more plausible explanation is that English, but not Mod Greek, is capable of conflating more sub-meanings than Mod Greek into a single predicate. Thus, there are cases where English uses a single verb to render a complex meaning, whereas Mod Greek may need a periphrasis for the same job.

Microsoft maps powered by Open data is an ongoing effort to create the best map using data from open sources. The road network on our map is completely generated using Open Street Maps data. In order to measure and improve the data quality of the OSM road data, we are developing a road conflation tool that can match roads from the OSM road network to roads from any given provider. Using this tool, we can generate valuable comparison metrics and reports, but more importantly it allows us to identify roads that are potentially missing from the OSM map. We can also discover differences in road classification and road attributes between the two sources. Our editorial team then contributes to OSM by adding the missing information precisely where it needs to be added.

The great availability of geographic information, due to Spatial Data Infrastructure development, the existence of data collected by volunteers, etc., makes the problems of geometric interoperability of data very conspicuous. Traditionally, conflation is being carefully carried out and evaluated by experts. Yet there are practices that involve occasional users who will look up the information in mobile devices without the intention of keeping a copy. Evaluation will be carried out with different criteria, involving the Human Visual System and perhaps even the characteristics of the physical devices as well. In this paper, we coin the term ‘Ephemeral Conflation’ to characterize that context and the procedures to evaluate it.

Although information-processing theories cannot provide a full explanatory account of P-consciousness, there is less conflation and confusion in cognitive psychology than Block suspects. Some of the reasoning that Block criticises can be interpreted plausibly in the light of a folk psychological view of the relation between P-consciousness and A-consciousness.

Modifying the curriculum is a common practice used to support students with Individual Education Plans (IEPs). Up to 15% of students in the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) have curriculum modifications by the time they reach Grade 8. Yet, despite their frequent use, the efficacy of this long-standing practice has rarely been studied. Research from Author (2022) suggests that racialized students are disproportionately overrepresented in this practice. Furthermore, their research suggests that there are negative long-term impacts associated with this practice. This literature review queries what is known about curriculum modifications. Findings reveal two significant issues with the terminology used in the existing literature. Additionally, the limited research available centres on only one exceptionality group (students with significant intellectual disabilities). These findings lay a foundation for future research on curriculum modifications—an area that warrants urgent attention from the anti-oppression movement within special education.

This paper identifies and analyzes a pervasive but underexamined assumption in religious discussions of artificial intelligence: that consciousness and the soul are identical. I argue that this "Great Conflation" is neither theologically required nor consistent with actual practice, and that distinguishing the two concepts reframes current debates about artificial consciousness. With the distinction in place, the question of AI consciousness becomes empirical, while questions about souls remain theological. I conclude by defending a principle of "recognition before proof," according to which uncertainty about artificial consciousness generates a defeasible ethical obligation to extend moral consideration.

We are immersed in the Big Data era, where there is a large amount of heterogeneous data, both in time and spatial scales. This data starts to be streamed in real time from different devices and sensors, well illustrated by the new concept of Smart Cities. Conflation processes play an important role in this scenario, defined as the procedure for the combination and integration of different data sources, improving the level of information of the result. It also allows to update geographical databases (GDB), conflating different kind of sources where one of them is more accurate or updated than the other. Regarding geometric conflation, the procedure involves transforming features from one data source to another, minimizing the geometric discrepancies between them. Accuracy has to be taken into account in these processes, and the results need to be measured and evaluated in order to have a better understanding of product quality. In this paper, conflation evaluation process is described along with the different metrics and approaches to assess its accuracy.
