This paper explores whether the experience of a recession during early adulthood shapes individuals’ prosocial attitudes. The analysis uses survey responses to experimentally validated questions that measure prosocial attitudes for approximately 64,000 respondents in 74 countries. The identification approach exploits variation in recession experiences across 75 different birth cohorts. We find tha
This work presents a statistical approach for estimating and analyzing the downward transport pattern and distribution of soil water by the use of pattern analysis of space-time correlation structures. This approach, called the Space-time Correlation Field, is mainly based on the analyses of correlation functions simultaneously in the space and time domain.The overall purpose of this work is to de
In this introduction, we explain how the chapters in this volume give support to the idea that different accounts of active cognition in the history of philosophy directly or indirectly respond to Aristotle’s account of cognition in his De anima.
In this article I present the analysis of the syncategorematic term ‘omnis’ in the commentaries on the Topics by the Parisian masters of Arts Boethius of Dacia and Radulphus Brito. I shall focus on the different relations between subject, predicate and particular instances that obtain in universally quantified statements, and in particular on the relations that obtain in universally quantified sta
The question 'whether an utterance (word/term/name) loses its signification with the destruction of things (i.e. things signified)' is raised as a question about the truth-value of assertions with an empty term as a subject, namely as a sub-problem of the sophism 'Whether "omnis homo de necessitate est animal" is true when no man exists (=OHNEA)'. In this paper, I shall introduce the discussions a
The article intends to show: a) that the modist Martin of Dacia sides with the traditional reading of the first chapter of Aristotle's De interpretatione that we find in masters of arts from the first half of the thirteenth century; and b) that the modist Boethius of Dacia is one of the first thirteenth-century scholars to depart from this reading. In fact, Boethius presents us with an account of
The aim of this paper is to present a reconstruction of Olivi's account of signification of common names and to highlight certain intrusion of pragmatics into this account. The paper deals with the question of how certain facts, other than original imposition, may be relevant to determine the semantical content of an utterance, and not with the question of how we perform actions by means of uttera
The paper concerns a historical shift in the semiotic interpretation of financial data and how this shaped the imagination of the market. The investigation centres on the emergence of two systems of financial foresight, technical and fundamental analysis. It is demonstrated how both systems were synthesised around the codification of certain pieces of data as semiotic windows to the future which t
It is well known that Lithium-ion batteries in thermal runaway can emit gases with high hydrogen concentrations which, in case of delayed ignition, can cause a gas explosion. Aerosol suppression agents are sometimes used to suppress fires and/or prevent ignition of released gases in such situations. The agent has been studied for suppression of fires (diffusion flames), but less is known about the
In this article, I explore interpretations and depictions of the Hebrew Bible in Swedish daily press between 1987 and 2017. As a point of departure, I examine three debates concerning three different aspects of the Hebrew Bible (in the debates understood as the “Old Testament”): its depictions of women, God, and homosexuality. The analysis shows that the Hebrew Bible tends to be portrayed as a pro
Rates of overweight and obesity are increasing rapidly in developing countries due to economic development, decreasing levels of physical activity, and shifting diets and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) tend to have significantly higher obesity prevalence than the global average. This study aims to understand socioeconomic differences in female obesity in different island contexts. Dietary h
