  1. Types and taxonomic structures in conceptual modeling: A novel ontological theory and engineering support.Giancarlo Guizzardi, Tiago Prince Sales, Claudenir M. Fonseca & Daniele Porello - 2021 - Data and Knowledge Engineering 1 (134):101891.
    Types are fundamental for conceptual modeling and knowledge representation, being an essential construct in all major modeling languages in these fields. Despite that, from an ontological and cognitive point of view, there has been a lack of theoretical support for precisely defining a consensual view on types. As a consequence, there has been a lack of precise methodological support for users when choosing the best way to model general terms representing types that appear in a domain, and for building sound (...)

  2. Endurant Types in Ontology-Driven Conceptual Modeling: Towards OntoUML 2.0.Giancarlo Guizzardi, Tiago Prince Sales, Claudenir M. Fonseca, Daniele Porello, Joao Paulo Almeida & Nicola Guarino - 2018 - In J. C. Trujillo, K. C. Davis, X. Du, Z. Li, T. W. Ling, G. Li & M. L. Lee, Conceptual Modeling - 37th International Conference, {ER} 2018, Xi'an, China, October 22-25, 2018, Proceedings. Springer. pp. 136--150.
    For over a decade now, a community of researchers has contributed to the development of the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO) - aimed at providing foundations for all major conceptual modeling constructs. This ontology has led to the development of an Ontology-Driven Conceptual Modeling language dubbed OntoUML, reflecting the ontological micro-theories comprising UFO. Over the years, UFO and OntoUML have been successfully employed in a number of academic, industrial and governmental settings to create conceptual models in a variety of different domains. (...)

  3. Effects of Chlorella vulgaris and Probiotic Dietary Supplementation on Performance, Apparent Digestibility, and Gut Morphology of Post-weaning Piglets.M. F. Pedro, D. F. P. Carvalho, C. F. Martins, D. Kohútová, O. Madacussengua, M. Pinho, S. P. Alves, L. Ferreira, M. R. G. Maia, A. J. M. Fonseca, A. R. J. Cabrita, M. P. Mourato, A. M. Almeida, R. J. B. Bessa & J. P. B. Freire - 2025 - Acs Agricultural Science and Technology 2025.
    In intensive swine production, piglets are separated from the sow at weaning, joined with other litters, and abruptly transitioned from milk to dry feeding at an early age (typically 21−28 days). Thus, weaning is the most stressful phase of the pig’s productive life. Consequently, at this stage, piglets often show a decreased growth and increased digestive disturbances. As such, they may benefit the most from the supply of highly digestible or bioactive nutrients and probiotics in order to promote gut health, (...)

  4. Correlação Interencefálica como fundamento da Mente do Superorganismo.Anderson Fonseca - 2025 - In Marco Aurelio Sousa Alves and Marcos Antonio Alves (Eds.), Perspectivas Em Filosofia da Mente e da Informação, Pp. 43-56. Toledo, Pr: Instituto Quero Saber. (Coleção Do Xx Encontro Nacional de Filosofia da Anpof).
    A hipótese de que uma colônia de formigas pode manifestar algum nível de consciência fenomênica abrange quatro respostas distintas, de acordo com o modo de interação das partes na constituição do superorganismo (Fonseca, 2023). No entanto, para que a resposta seja satisfatória ao problema da combinação as informações químicas transmitidas pelas formigas teriam que estar estruturadas de modo a comunicar estados intencionais, e, consequentemente, após a exposição aos estímulos sensoriais externos ou ao contato por antenas (troca semioquímica) poderia ocorrer (...)

    The Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO) was developed over the last two decades by consistently putting together theories from areas such as formal ontology in philosophy, cognitive science, linguistics, and philosophical logics. It comprises a number of micro-theories addressing fundamental conceptual modeling notions, including entity types and relationship types. The aim of this paper is to summarize the current state of UFO, presenting a formalization of the ontology, along with the analysis of a number of cases to illustrate the application of (...)

  6. Nagel, pampsiquismo, biopsiquismo e realismo moral: é possível um direito natural cósmico?Anderson Fonseca - 2021 - Revista Filoteológica 1 (2763-7549):4-18.
    No presente artigo argumentamos que os fatos morais dependem da realidade da consciência. Por esse viés, abordamos, então, que apenas seres sencientes dotados de razão estão aptos a conhecer os valores objetivamente. Considerando a teoria do Pampsiquismo, que afirma ser a consciência uma propriedade essencial da matéria, analisamos a possibilidade de que se organismos subjetivos evoluírem em outros sistemas solares alcançando a racionalidade, poderiam ter a mesma percepção das leis naturais que o homem tem. Nesse contexto, a existência de um (...)

  7. O Monismo Nageliano e a Composição Material.Anderson Fonseca - manuscript
    No capítulo 1 da dissertação “A Colônia de Formigas está Consciente?”, intitulado “O Monismo Nageliano e a Composição Material” examinamos a premissa da Composição Material, a qual estabelece que a consciência depende do modo de disposição material das entidades físicas básicas (átomos, elétrons, etc.), na composição do organismo. Ou seja, a experiência consciente de um sistema vivo se encontra estreitamente conectada com a forma em que seus componentes físicos estão relacionados. Isso significa que cada organismo terá um processo diferente de (...)

  8. Effects of dietary supplementation with vegetable oils of different unsaturated fatty acids composition on intake, digestibility, nitrogen balance performance, and carcass traits of sheep.E. L. G. Andrade, J. M. Pereira Filho, K. H. O. S. Lucena, L. S. Barros, A. M. Barbosa, R. L. Oliveira, S. Gonzaga Neto, J. P. F. Oliveira, M. A. Fonseca & L. R. Bezerra - 2025 - Tropical Animal Health and Production 57 (1):147.
    We aimed at evaluating the best unsaturated fatty acid candidate (vegetable oil) for blending (dry matter-DM basis) with cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL) to improve feed intake, digestibility, nitrogen balance, growth, and carcass traits in sheep. Forty uncastrated male Santa Ines × Dorper crossbred sheep (n = 8/treatment) weighting 24.44 ± 1.5 kg were used. Animals were randomly assigned to a completely randomized design and received one of the following treatments: a control group consisting of a blend of phenolic lipids (CNSL (...)

  9. Por uma educação linguística libertadora: os estudos gramaticais no ensino básico à luz da pedagogia de Paulo Freire.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - 2021 - EdUECE.
    Falsas definições, má exemplificação e diversidade de conceituação e multiplicidade de análise. Em 1983, no livro Da necessidade de uma gramática-padrão da língua portuguesa, Amini Boainain Hauy aponta esses três problemas-chave das gramáticas tradicionais de língua portuguesa, argumentando ser necessário produzir uma gramática “objetiva, coerente e uniforme” a fim de que o ensino gramatical nas escolas de nível fundamental e médio deixe de ser “deficiente e improdutivo”. Seria isso possível? Nesta obra, Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva evidencia que, quase 40 (...)

  10. A filosofia de Ludwig Wittgenstein à luz do diagnóstico de autismo.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - 2023 - Campina Grande: Eduepb.
    Em 27 de janeiro de 1937, o filósofo Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) anotou em seu diário, enquanto viajava para Skjolden, um vilarejo norueguês à beira do fiorde Sogne, onde havia construído em 1913 uma cabana para viver isolado: “Certamente sou singular em muitas coisas & por isso, muitas pessoas se comportam de maneira comum quando comparadas comigo; mas em que consiste minha singularidade?” De acordo com psiquiatras contemporâneos como Michael Fitzgerald, Christopher Gillberg e Yoshiki Ishisaka, a singularidade de Wittgenstein decorria de (...)

  11. Algumas Notas sobre os Métodos Filosóficos de Ludwig Wittgenstein.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - 2021 - Revista de Filosofia Moderna E Contemporânea 9 (1):165-183.
    No artigo “Wittgenstein: universalismo, lógica, gramática y lenguaje”, Alejandro Tomasini Bassols afirma que o problema com que Wittgenstein se depara ao fim do Tractatus ”“ as proposições do livro serem elucidações e contrassensos ”“ teve origem em seu erro de considerar a lógica, e não a linguagem, como o mais universal. Bassols afirma ainda que o assim chamado “paradoxo do Tractatus” não foi uma ameaça à segunda filosofia wittgensteiniana porque nela Wittgenstein não cometeu o mesmo erro. Neste artigo argumenta-se que (...)

  12. Observações Sobre a Filosofia da Mente de Ludwig Wittgenstein.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - 2018 - Problemata 9 (4):218-232.
    Em sua filosofia da mente, Ludwig Wittgenstein afirma repetidas vezes que não pensamos com as nossas cabeças ou nelas. No entanto, não apresenta argumentos claros em favor desse posicionamento. Para piorar, os comentadores de sua obra não dão a esse aspecto de sua filosofia a atenção devida. Em vista disso, neste artigo investiga-se por que Wittgenstein tanto insistiu em dizer que não pensamos com as nossas cabeças ou nelas. A explicação que se oferece é que Wittgenstein o fez visando a (...)

    In this master's thesis, I compare Ferdinand de Saussure's linguistics with Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy. I particularly compare how these two authors made use of metaphors and analogies in the formation of their ideas, highlighting the analogy between language and a game, which both of them employed. To help clarify the different ways Saussure and Wittgenstein used metaphors and analogies in their texts, I drew on the theory of double filters by the linguist and psychologist Karl Bühler. Based on this theory, (...)

  14. Introdução à perspectiva ficcionalista na filosofia da matemática.Marco Aurélio Sousa Alves & José Henrique Fonseca Franco - 2022 - Perspectivas 7 (2):330-346.
    O ficcionalismo, geralmente classificado como um tipo de nominalismo, apresenta como perspectiva precípua a tese de que os entes matemáticos são ficções. Para o ficcionalista, o discurso matemático é desprovido de conteúdo. Hartry Field, que é o principal defensor dessa concepção ontológica da matemática, contesta, em Science Without Numbers, a utilização de entes matemáticos na redação de teorias da física, alegando que a defesa mais plausível do realismo ontológico matemático é o argumento da indispensabilidade de Quine-Putnam.

    RESUMO A alimentação é o fator que mais onera um sistema de produção animal. Assim, a utilização de diferentes estratégias de alimentação dos animais ainda é o grande desafio da nutrição animal, principalmente, levando em consideração as exigências nutricionais de diferentes categorias de ruminantes, em especial bovinos em regiões tropicais, haja vista que a sazonalidade na produção de forragens afeta diretamente a produção bovina, promovendo inadequação no atendimento das exigências nutricionais dos animais principalmente em minerais e vitaminas.

    The hypothesis that an ant colony may exhibit some level of phenomenal consciousness encompasses four distinct answers, depending on how the parts interact in the constitution of the superorganism (Fonseca, 2023). However, for a given answer to be satisfactory to the Combination Problem, the chemical information transmitted by ants would have to be structured in such a way as to communicate intentional states, and, consequently, following exposure to external sensory stimuli or contact via antennae (semiochemical exchange), interindividual neural synchronization (...)

    In this article, I argue that the Problem of Evil becomes more difficult if it is plausible that certain invertebrate animals suffer, as this would increase the amount of evil in the world and its proportion relative to good. My thinking is based on the argument of Dustin Crummett (2017), who supports this point of view. First, I will examine the ideas of Trent Dougherty (2014) and Richard Swinburne (2004), whose theodicies do not take into account the plausibility of invertebrate (...)

    Neste artigo, originalmente escrito em 2019, abordamos o conceito de identidade pessoal, de Derek Parfit, por meio do experimento mental do teletransporte aplicado à edição genética de embriões com síndrome de Down. Parfit propõe que o teletransporte, no momento em que destrói o original e produz uma duplicata, não preserva a identidade numérica. Similarmente, sugerimos que a terapia gênica através da edição genética ao substituir o material deficiente de um embrião, geraria um novo indivíduo. Desse modo, elaboramos uma situação hipotética (...)

  24. Is the ant colony a conscious organism?Anderson Fonseca - 2023 - Griot : Revista de Filosofia 23 (1):70-86.
    The similarity between the interaction pattern of neurons in the human brain and the ant colony makes the latter an object of the hypothesis of being a structure capable of having a consciousness. In this article, Thomas Nagel's definition of consciousness as something that is to be for an organism becomes fundamental for the examination of it as a possible experiential subject. The ant colony, if considered an organism, could be a subject capable of having internal experiences. Therefore, in this (...)

    In sensorimotor integration, representation involves an anticipatory model of the action to be performed. This model integrates efferent signals (motor commands), its reafferent consequences (sensory consequences of an organism’s own motor action), and other afferences (sensory signals) originated by stimuli independent of the action performed. Representation, a form of internal modeling, is invoked to explain the fact that behavior oriented to the achievement of future goals is relatively independent from the immediate environment. Internal modeling explains how a cognitive system achieves (...)

  31. A Proof of ‘1st/3rd Person Relativism’ and its Consequences to the Mind-Body Problem.João Fonseca - manuscript
    The suggestion of something akin to a ‘relativist solution to the Mind-Body problem’ has recently been held by some scientists and philosophers; either explicitly (Galadí, 2023; Lahav & Neemeh, 2022; Ludwig, 2015) or in more implicit terms (Solms, 2018; Velmans, 2002, 2008).

  33. Revisiting Ludwig Wittgenstein's Autism Spectrum Disorder Diagnosis.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - manuscript
    Psychiatrists such as Michael Fitzgerald, Christopher Gillberg, and Yoshiki Ishisaka have presented the posthumous diagnosis that philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein had Asperger’s Syndrome. In this essay, I question this diagnosis by presenting evidence that Wittgenstein’s autism condition was significantly more severe than that. Taking into account this prospect, as well as the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, I raise the possibility to be discussed by experts in Autism Spectrum Disorder that Wittgenstein had below-average intelligence or even intellectual disability, which is a common co-occurring (...)

    Psychiatrists such as Michael Fitzgerald, Christopher Gillberg, and Yoshiki Ishisaka diagnosed Ludwig Wittgenstein posthumously with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Taking into account this diagnosis, as well as the fact that people with ASD tend to have fixed, concrete, literal ways of talking and thinking, I analyze in this paper how Wittgenstein’s pictorial thinking is reflected in his texts, including the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus – the book that represents Wittgenstein’s first philosophy, which is based on a picture theory of language – and (...)

  35. On the non-elimination of mental states by adopting a ruthless-reductive stance.João Fonseca - 2008 - Proceedings of the Tilburg-Sidney International Conference on Reduction and the Special Sciences.
    In several places, John Bickle claims that current neuroscientific practice provides actual cellular/molecular reductions of certain mental states. He gives the case study of ‘memory consolidation switch’ as an example where recent findings suggest that this mental state/process can be reduced to the molecular ‘cAMP, PKA, CREB Pathway’. Taking this example, Bickle ‘waves the eleminativist flag’ by claiming that psychological explanations loose their pertinence (or, as he says, ‘became otiose’) once a cellular/molecular explanation replaces them. On this paper I’ll try (...)

  36. The Dream of An Analytic Philosophy.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - manuscript
    Since the mid-20th century, the so-called analytic philosophy has been considered the dominant philosophical tradition in English-speaking countries, especially England and the United States. Despite this, there is still no clarity or the slightest consensus on what analytic philosophy means. Given this scenario, I argue in this paper that analytic philosophy has never really constituted itself as a philosophical school. My objective is to show how the criticisms that have been made of philosophy in recent centuries – including the obscurantism (...)

  37. Some notes on Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophical methods.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - 2021 - Revista de Filosofia Moderna E Contemporânea 9 (1).
    In his preface to the Tractatus logico-philosophicus, Ludwig Wittgenstein sets forth the book as a work with the intent to draw a limit to the expression of thoughts. He further argues that such a limit could only be drawn in language and, therefore, only nonsense would lie on the other side of it. However, as Wittgenstein himself accepts in his work, the very Tractatus, and the entire philosophy alike, are beyond the limit drawn for the expression of thoughts. Given such (...)

  40. 40 years of Metaphors We Live By: Remarks on George Lakoff and Mark Johnson’s theory of conceptual metaphors.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - 2021 - Revista de Estudos da Linguagem 29 (1).
    In the essay “Cognitive Linguistics and Autonomous Linguistics,” published in 2007 in the Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics, John R. Taylor suggests the dialogue and even the integration of cognitive linguistics with other strands of language studies. Following this line of argument, I reanalyze George Lakoff and Mark Johnson’s theory of conceptual metaphors in this paper. I aim to make explicit the empirical and rhetorical excesses of these authors since the publication of the book Metaphors We Live By, 45 years (...)

  41. The Forgotten Precursors of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Philosophy of Language.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - 2021 - Griot : Revista de Filosofia 21 (2).
    In the preface to the Philosophical Investigations, Ludwig Wittgenstein reveals that he owed “the most fruitful ideas” of the work to the “stimulus” of the economist Piero Sraffa. Curiously, however, according to Amartya Sen (2003), Sraffa considered his point of view – which emphasizes the relationship between language and the sociocultural environment in which it is used – “rather obvious,” found it tedious to talk to Wittgenstein, and was never excited about having decisively influenced his later philosophy. To justify Sraffa’s (...)

  42. Observações sobre a filosofia da matemática de Ludwig Wittgenstein.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - 2018 - Griot : Revista de Filosofia 17 (1):97-113.
    No ensaio “Wittgenstein on mathematics”, publicado no Oxford Handbook of Wittgenstein, Michael Potter procura não apenas analisar por que a filosofia da matemática de Wittgenstein é tão controvertida entre filósofos e matemáticos como justificar essa situação. Com esse intuito, Potter enfatiza o caráter inacabado das reflexões de Wittgenstein sobre a matemática. Neste artigo, tem-se por objetivo explicitar algumas inconsistências e contradições no pensamento matemático de Wittgenstein que ratificam as críticas que esse autor vem recebendo há décadas, mas que não tiveram (...)

  43. Rethinking Michael Tomasello’s social-pragmatic theory of language acquisition.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - 2019 - ReVEL 19 (39).
    In the last decades, psychologist Michael Tomasello became a leading critic of Noam Chomsky’s generative grammar. Within the framework of his cognitive-functional linguistics, which is associated with emergentism and cognitive linguistics, Tomasello challenges the central pillars of generativism, including the innateness thesis, autonomy of syntax hypothesis, and language module alike. Considering the influence of Tomasello’s ideas, this paper rediscusses the theoretical foundations of his work. The objective in doing so is to reaffirm the validity of generativism’s theoretical assumptions. Notwithstanding this, (...)

  44. Remarks on Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Philosophy of Mathematics.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - 2018 - Griot 17 (1).
    In the essay ‘Wittgenstein on mathematics’, Michael Potter offers not only an analysis of why Wittgenstein’s philosophy of mathematics is so controversial among philosophers and mathematicians but also justifies such controversy. For that purpose, Potter emphasizes that Wittgenstein’s discussions on math are unfinished. In contrast to this position, this paper sheds light on some inconsistencies and contradictions in Wittgenstein’s mathematic thoughts that, although reinforcing the decade-long criticism of the author, did not interest scholars as much as Wittgenstein’s comments on Kurt (...)

  45. Remarks on Ludwig Wittgenstein's whole aim in his way of doing philosophy.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - 2018 - Principia: An International Journal of Epistemology 22 (3).
    In The Principles of Mechanics, Heinrich Hertz argues that, instead of trying to answer the question “what is force?,” as physicists and philosophers had unsuccessfully been doing, Newtonian physics should be reformulated without using “force” as a basic concept. Decades after the publication of Hertz’s book, Ludwig Wittgenstein would consider this proposal a perfect model for how to solve philosophical problems, to the point of adopting it as the basis for his way of doing philosophy. Considering this scenario, this article (...)

  46. Remarks on Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Mind.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - 2018 - Problemata 9 (4).
    In his philosophy of mind, Ludwig Wittgenstein repeatedly states we do not think with our heads or in our heads. However, he does not offer clear arguments to sustain such an opinion. Furthermore, his readers do not focus appropriately on this aspect of his philosophy. Therefore, this paper questions why Wittgenstein insisted on the idea that we do not think with our heads or in our heads. The proposed explanation is that through this statement Wittgenstein was trying to justify his (...)

  47. Metaphors, analogies, and comparisons in the tormented mind of Ferdinand de Saussure.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - 2018 - Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticos 60 (3).
    This article investigates the uses that Ferdinand de Saussure made of metaphors, analogies, and comparisons both in the manuscripts collected in the Writings in General Linguistics and in the Course in General Linguistics. The aim is to show that, more than the erasures and gaps in the manuscripts, it is the images and figures that Saussure employs in his texts that reveal his doubts and hesitations in the pursuit of a theory of general linguistics. With this reanalysis of the analogies, (...)

  48. On Ronald Langacker’s Semanticocentrism.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - 2024 - Revista de Estudos da Linguagem 32 (1):312-336.
    Ray Jackendoff understands that Noam Chomsky’s linguistic models distort the nature of language due to its ‘syntactocentrism.’ Coined by Jackendoff, this term means Chomsky’s assumption that the syntactic component of language is central while the phonological and semantic components are merely interpretive. Jackendoff also states that since the 1970s many researchers have made a mistake opposite to Chomsky’s, by denying that syntax has a relevant role in grammar. Considering such a scenario, this paper analyzes Ronald Langacker’s cognitive grammar, in which (...)

  49. Reflections on Noam Chomsky’s Galilean Linguistics.Gustavo Augusto Fonseca Silva - 2020 - Revista de Estudos da Linguagem 28.
    The metaphysical assumption that nature is perfect has been one of the foundations of modern physics since the 17th century. Because of the success of this discipline, researchers in other fields of knowledge have followed its principles, including the idea that nature is perfect. A fascinating case of this epistemological transposition occurred in the 20th century with Noam Chomsky’s generative grammar, especially in his Minimalist Program. In it, Chomsky takes to its ultimate consequences what he called ‘the Galilean intuition that (...)

  50. Ontological Complexity and Human Culture.D. J. Saab & F. Fonseca - forthcoming - In R. Hagengruber, Proceedings of Philosophy's Relevance in Information Science.
    Ontologies are being used by information scientists in order to facilitate the sharing of meaningful information. However, computational ontologies are problematic in that they often decontextualize information. The semantic content of information is dependent upon the context in which it exists and the experience through which it emerges. For true semantic interoperability to occur among diverse information systems, within or across domains, information must remain contextualized. In order to bring more context to computational ontologies, we introduce culture as an essential (...)
