“…Notice, first, that D6 deliberately does not specify a priori whether mistaken tokening amounts to information being false or simply inaccurate. Several philosophers have recently shifted to attributing, at least to perceptual states, accuracy rather than truth conditions [70][71][72][73]. Accuracy and truth are related, but have distinct properties, for the latter is binary (at least under classical logic), whereas the former admits of degrees [70] (p. 458).…”

The claims that “The brain processes information” or “Cognition is information processing” are accepted as truisms in cognitive science. However, it is unclear how to evaluate such claims absent a specification of “information” as it is used by neurocognitive theories. The aim of this article is, thus, to identify the key features of information that information-based neurocognitive theories posit. A systematic identification of these features can reveal the explanatory role that information plays in specific neurocognitive theories, and can, therefore, be both theoretically and practically important. These features can be used, in turn, as desiderata against which candidate theories of information may be evaluated. After discussing some characteristics of explanation in cognitive science and their implications for “information”, three notions are briefly introduced: natural, sensory, and endogenous information. Subsequently, six desiderata are identified and defended based on cognitive scientific practices. The global workspace theory of consciousness is then used as a specific case study that arguably posits either five or six corresponding features of information.

“…10 Pojęcie warunków adekwatności utrwaliło się dzięki pracy Susanny Siegel (2010), jednakże podany tam argument na rzecz odróżnienia warunków prawdziwości od warunków adekwatności jest wysoce problematyczny (Zahnhoun 2020). Dyskusję komplikuje fakt, że niektórzy autorzy uważają różnicę między propozycjonalną i niepropozycjonalną treścią reprezentacyjną (oraz odpowiadającą jej różnicę między warunkami prawdziwości oraz warunkami adekwatności) za w gruncie rzeczy mało istotną lub dającą się zignorować (np.…”

“…These values of soil losses are close to the results obtained by various researchers who have worked in northern Morocco. These studies have found erosion rates as high for instance 65 t/ha/year was estimated at the level of the Nakhla watershed [5], and 55.35 t/ha/year at the level of Oued Boussouab in the eastern Prérif [4], 46.1 t/ha/year in the northeast at Oued Tlata [6] and 49.59 t/ha/year for the basin of Oued Larbaa and 43.68 t/ha/year on average for the catchment area of Oued Beni Boufrah, Central Rif [7]. On the other hand, the study conducted in the Middle Atlas as that of Hili [2] whose objective was also to estimate the erosion of a watershed Oued Amlil.…”

Assessment and mapping of water erosion by the integration of the Gavrilovic “EPM” model in the Inaouene watershed, Morocco

Water erosion is one of the main causes of soil degradation around the world. In M orocco, In M orocco, the watersheds have very significant soil wastes, related to various physical and anthropic factors. The Oued Inaouene watershed is concerned because of its location in the eastern part of the Saïss basin, between the Middle Atlas and the Pre-Rif, where water erosion is more accentuated. This basin covers a total area of 3597.13 Km2 and it is marked by a semi-arid climate with relatively abundant (989.68 mm), irregular rainfall and strong anthropic pressure. This will have an impact of overexploiting natural resources in general and soils in particular. The excessive use of agricultural land has led to their fragility and aggravation of their susceptibility to erosion. These conditions, both natural and anthropic, have induced a rather intense erosive dynamic, which can be visible in its various forms, including gullying and landslides. The erosive dynamics leads progressively and certainly to impoverish the soils of the watershed and the silting of the dam Idris 1st located downstream of the Oued Inaouene, hence the interest of this study. The use of the “EPM” model for the estimation of soil losses approaches the severity of the erosive phenomenon. The average soil loss due to water erosion according to the model used is estimated at 53.34 t/ha/year. The maximum losses are about 597.642 t/ha/yr per plot. Total annual losses for the watershed are approximately 211084195 t/yr. Furthermore, the analysis of these results allowed, with the help of GIS, to determine the factors that control water erosion and which are, in order of importance: rainfall, slope, and soil sensitivity Soil protection. If anti-erosion measures aren’t adopted in the threatened parts of the watershed, this will have serious consequences for the dam and water quality .
