Language and the African Philosophical Traditions by Kọ́lá Abímbọ́lá

“…Building on these and other works, this essay argues that: (i) incommensurability of “worldviews,” “perspectives,” “paradigms,” or “conceptual schemes” springs from deeper, more fundamental cognitive categories of logic that are coded into natural languages; and that (ii) consequently, as long as African reflective reasoning is expressed solely (or predominantly) in European languages, the authenticity of the “African” in African philosophy is questionable. …”

On a Functional Equation Associated with (a,k)-Regularized Resolvent Families by Carlos Lizama, Felipe Poblete

“…We show that, under some natural assumptions on a(·) and k(·), every solution of the above mentioned functional equation gives rise to a commutative (a,k)-resolvent family R(t) generated by Ax=lim t→0+(R(t)x-k(t)x/(a*k)(t)) defined on the domain D(A):={x∈X:lim t→0+(R(t)x-k(t)x/(a*k)(t)) exists in X} and, conversely, that each (a,k)-resolvent family R(t) satisfy the above mentioned functional equation. …”

Multiplication of Negative Scenarios: the Approach Public Administrations Could Use at Drafting General Rules by Mirko Pečarič

“…Despite the more and more “popular use” of regulatory impact assessments, smart regulation, probability and risk, public administrations as the major drafters of general legal rules usually do not even use the (much simpler) negative approach to gain better insight into problems, although it is per se the natural way of our thinking. A new view on probability through signs that fit into (unwanted, but known in advance) scenarios can also provide new answers regarding causality. …”

Mathematical Modeling of the Transmission of Foot And Mouth Disease Virus in Cloven-Hooved Animals. by Mbasa, Nikora

“…We show that at a particular point in time,t, if the product of the population growth rater= Bµ and the sum of the natural death rate and the number of infected animals (weighted by the exposure rate) is greater than the product of the basic reproduction number and the number of susceptible animals, then the endemic equilibrium point will be stable and the disease will persist in the animal population. …”
