An axiomatic characterization of temporalised belief revision in the lawAbstractThis paper presents a belief revision operator that considers time intervals for modelling norm change in the law. This approach relates techniques from belief revision formalisms and time intervals with temporalised rules for legal systems. Our goal is to formalise a temporalised belief base and corresponding timed derivation, together with a proper revision operator. This operator may remove rules when needed or adapt...

An Attachment Theoretical Perspective on Tend-and-Befriend Stress ReactionsAbstractThis study investigates the "tend-and-befriend" hypothesis proposed in 2000 by Taylor and colleagues, which posits that women utilize an alternative stress response to fight-or-flight, ensuring the survival of themselves and their offspring (tend) through the formation of groups (befriend). In contrast, we propose that, while sexes may differ in the use of tend-and-befriend behaviors, attachment style is a more robust...

Models for HylomorphismAbstractIn a series of papers (Fine et al., 1982; Fine, Noûs28(2), 137–158; 1994, Midwest Studies in Philosophy, 23, 61–74, 1999) Fine develops his hylomorphic theory of embodiments. In this article, we supply a formal semantics for this theory that is adequate to the principles laid down for it in (Midwest Studies in Philosophy, 23, 61–74, 1999). In Section 1, we lay out the theory of embodiments as Fine presents it. In Section 2, we argue on Cantorian grounds that the theory...

Electrophysiological Changes Following Human Muscle Tear: A Potential ConfounderThe goal of this prospective electrophysiologic study is to describe the chronological electromyographic findings observed in a human gastrocnemius muscle following a traumatic tear. A 30-year-old man sustained a tear of the medial gastrocnemius. Needle electromyography was performed serially at 5, 15, and 26 weeks post-injury, with the contralateral gastrocnemius muscle serving as a control. Audiovisual recordings of...

Resistance Exercise–induced Regulation of Muscle Protein Synthesis to Intraset RestDuring a traditional set configuration of resistance exercise (TRD), characterized by a continuous completion of repetitions, a decrease in power output tends to occur throughout a set of repetitions. Inclusion of intra-set rest, otherwise known as a cluster set configuration (CLU), counteracts this power decline. However, the effect of a CLU configuration on post-exercise myofibrillar protein synthesis rates (MPS)...

Cloud model based sine cosine algorithm for solving optimization problemsAbstractSine cosine algorithm (SCA) is a recently developed optimization technique, which uses sine function and cosine function as operators to find the global optimal solution. However, proper parameter setting is a challenging task. Only using the number of iterations to adjust the algorithm parameters cannot fully reflect the convergence information in the evolution process, so SCA lacks the adaptability in solving different...

More Than "Spending Time with the Body": The Role of a Family's Grief in Determinations of Brain DeathAbstractIn many ways, grief is thought to be outside the realm of bioethics and clinical ethics, and grieving patients or family members may be passed off to grief counselors or therapists. Yet grief can play a particularly poignant role in the ethical encounter, especially in cases of brain death, where the line between life and death has been blurred. Although brain death is legally and medically...
