This paper discusses the application of the Technology Development Envelope (TDE) as a road mapping tool in combination with the Delphi method and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The method helps policy and decision-makers in organizations strategically manage emerging technologies by mapping their anticipated development path. The paper focused on creating a Technology Development Envelope (TDE) for artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the food industry. In the first step, an expert panel identified a list of AI technologies applicable to the food industry. A hierarchical decision-making model, comprising 5 criteria and 24 sub-criteria for technology evaluation, was extracted from the literature and validated using the Delphi method. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to determine the relative importance of criteria and sub-criteria for evaluating the identified technologies. At this stage, the most important criteria considered were food safety and social and political acceptance of the technology. The expected value of each technology was calculated over different periods, resulting in the development of the Technology Development Evaluation (TDE) for AI technologies in the food industry within a ten-year horizon. The analysis of the future indicates that technologies such as computer vision, robotics, industrial automation, and machine learning will undergo continuous improvements over time and eventually become dominant technologies in the food industry. These advancements can lead to an increase in quality and efficiency within the food industry. Finally, sensitivity analysis was conducted to test the model's sensitivity and explore how policymakers' extreme strategies affect the model's outputs.

Au XXe siècle et plus précisément à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la représentation littéraire de l'espace référentiel résultant de la pensée post-coloniale et postmoderniste reprend une place essentielle. Dès lors, l’étude interdisciplinaire de la littérature et de la géographie donne naissance à la géocritique, méthode d’analyse littéraire élaborée par Bertrand Westphal dont l'intérêt réside dans l'étude de la référentialité géographique et la fiction. Associé à l’analyse géocritique, nous mettons en lumière le Petit Prince, l’œuvre d’Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Ce chef-d’œuvre met en valeur le rapport entre la fiction et la référentialité. En effet, cette œuvre possède autant de valeur littéraire que géographique. L'originalité de cette recherche consiste à examiner la spatio-temporalité à travers le Petit Prince en s’appuyant sur la géocritique telle qu’une méthode d’analyse interdisciplinaire. En tenant compte des théories géocritique, le temps en tant qu’une dimension de l’espace se spatialise et devient anachrone. Les résultats de la recherche révèlent que le pluralisme et le multiculturalisme sont nécessaires en vue de représenter l’espace polychrone et hétérogène. Ainsi, ce travail de recherche nous pousse à nous pencher sur la valeur de l’humanité à travers la lisibilité de l’œuvre littéraire et la réaction réciproque.

Les Chants de Maldoror résistent obstinément à toute classification dans un genre littéraire spécifique, révélant une nature hétéroclite qui défie toute tentative de catégorisation. Des tentatives ont été faites pour ancrer ce texte de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle dans le registre de la poésie. Cependant, au-delà de son apparente dissonance et de son rejet des normes établies, ce texte novateur trouve sa cohérence sous l'égide d'un narrateur autoritaire, qui semble être la seule instance garantissant la continuité interne des six chants. La prédominance de la narration, en élargissant le plan du discours, agit comme un rempart empêchant le lecteur de s'identifier aux personnages ou de succomber à l'illusion référentielle. Ceci non seulement écarte le lecteur du lecteur idéal, mais le dépeint aussi comme un mauvais lecteur. Les références constantes à l'acte de narration, troublant le cours de l'histoire, l'adresse récurrente du narrateur au narrataire et les commentaires sur le récit et l'histoire confirment la suprématie de la narration dans le texte lautréamontien. L'existence d'une narration autoréflexive et narcissique, dès les premières lignes, remet incontestablement en question l’horizon attente du lecteur. Cette présence requiert une lecture pleinement avertie, défiant toute quête de sens, et confronte le lecteur à des questions fondamentales sur la nature et les fonctions des notions telles que l'écriture, la lecture, la narration, l'auteur et la littérature.

The 21st century heralded the dawn of the open access era in university publishing houses. The internet has transformed publishing from a lower reliance upon peer review processes, to readers being given direct access to text via digital content delivery. The internet era now enables knowledge transfer free at the point of deliver, without copyright or license. The internet has transformed university presses and publishers, from content providers to service deliverers. As a result, global publishing has changed, and university publishing houses have had to change with it. A global consensus of publishing has been set due to the technological advance of the internet. A global consensus which has been widely accepted by most university publishers. People will need to develop a good grasp of media and information literacy as either providers or consumers of university publishing houses’ content and services. The potential effects of the internet on COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics, 2022) compliance features. One of many questions covered in this paper is: How will impact factors, readership analytics and the metaverse, effect publishing in the 2020s. The utility of the internet enables geographically spread authors who have never met, to co-author academia.

The existence of subjective facts in the epistemic sense defined by Thomas Nagel’s famous article, “What is it like to be a bat?” might be taken to support an anti-physicalist conclusion. I argue that it does not. The combination of nonreductive physicalism and teleo-pragmatic functionalism is not only consistent with such subjective facts but predicts their existence. The notion that conscious minds are self-understanding autopoietic systems plays a key role in the argument. Global Neuronal Workspace Theory is assessed in terms of its potential to answer David Chalmers’ Hard Problem of consciousness. A suggestion is made for augmenting the theory that involves another sense in which facts about conscious experience are subjective. The idea of conscious minds as self-understanding systems again plays an important role.

Over the centuries, the concept of the self has remained a prominent subject of philosophical inquiry. However, recent years have witnessed a notable shift, with empirical investigations in fields such as psychology, neuroscience, and anthropology directing their focus toward unraveling the mysteries of the self. These multidisciplinary endeavors have yielded profound insights into the nature of the self, particularly its intricate connection to the physical body. This article centers on a prevailing theory in contemporary discourse: the concept of the embodied self. Central to this theory is the proposition that the self is not an abstract entity but is fundamentally constituted byand inseparably linked with the corporeal form. The article provides an analytical examination of the theoretical scaffolding supporting this theory, drawing substantiation from recent empirical studies spanning diverse disciplines, including philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science. Additionally, it delves into the realm of phenomenology, briefly delving into Merleau-Ponty's philosophical contributions.

Contemplation and theoretical reflections on the "tongue under control" and how it operates, or the reasons and factors that prevent humans from exercising control, are among the most important topics studied by Islamic scholars. This research seeks to elucidate the philosophical foundations of "tongue under control" with an emphasis on the viewpoint of Allameh Javadi Amoli, using a descriptive-analytical approach and through a library method and referencing their numerous works. Based on such an approach, Allameh Javadi considers the fundamental factor in "tongue under control" to be the spiritual faculties(habits). The novelty of this research lies in the enumeration and explanation of the philosophical foundations of the discussion. Therefore, by employing Quranic verses and the principles of Sadra'i wisdom, such as substantial motion, bodily manifestation of the soul, and the explanation of the embodiment and manifestation of actions on the Day of Resurrection; he has identified the repetition and continuity of actions and their transformation into "habits" as the fundamental factor in the issue of "tongue under control"; in fact, "tongue" is not in our control, but rather in the control of the "habits" Therefore, if piety governs human actions, humans can to a large extent take control of their tongue in the world and in a wakeful state. However, in the world of dreams, near death, and also on the Day of Resurrection, the "tongue" is under the control of habits and temperaments, not us.
