Protected areas to deliver biodiversity need management effectiveness and equity
(Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020)
It is widely recognized in science, policy, and practice that protected areas (PAs) that are equitably and effectively managed are essential for halting biodiversity loss. However, our understanding of the relationships ...
Self-Perception of the Digital Competence of Educators during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Analysis of Different Educational Stages
(MDPI, 2020-12-04)
The objective of this research is to measure the perception that teachers had about their own performance when they were forced to carry out Emergency Remote Teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A questionnaire was ...
Measurement of the Charm-Mixing Parameter y(CP) in D-0 -> K-S(0)Omega Decays at Belle
(American Physical Society, 2020-10-19)
We report the first measurement of the charm-mixing parameter y(CP) in D-0 decays to the CP-odd final state K-S(0 omega). The study uses the full Belle e(+)e(-) annihilation data sample of 976 fb(-1) taken at or near the ...
An Experimental Investigation of Ultraweak Photon Emission from Adult Murine Neural Stem Cells
(Nature, 2020-01-16)
Neurons like other living cells may have ultraweak photon emission (UPE) during neuronal activity. This study is aimed to evaluate UPE from neural stem cells (NSC) during their serial passaging and differentiation. We also ...
Subsurface chemical nanoidentification by nano-FTIR spectroscopy
(Nature, 2020-07-03)
Nano-FTIR spectroscopy based on Fourier transform infrared near-field spectroscopy allows for label-free chemical nanocharacterization of organic and inorganic composite surfaces. The potential capability for subsurface ...
Norms for pure desire
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2020)
According to a widespread, broadly Humean consensus, desires and other conative attitudes seem as such to be free from any normative constraints of rationality. However, rational subjects are also required to be attitude-coherent ...
Global aphasia and the language of thought
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2020)
Jerry Fodor's arguments for a language of thought (LOT) are largely theoretical. Is there any empirical evidence that supports the existence of LOT? There is. Research on Global Aphasia supports the existence of LOT. In ...
Fodor and demonstratives in LOT
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2020)
In this paper, we consider a range of puzzles for demonstratives in the language of thought we had raised in our last philosophical conversation we had with Jerry Fodor. We argue against the Kaplan-inspired indexing solution ...
Fodor on multiple realizability and nonreductive physicalism: Why the argument does not work
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2020)
This paper assesses Fodor’s well-known argument from multiple realizability to nonreductive physicalism. Recent work has brought out that the empirical case for cross-species multiple realizability is weak at best and so ...
Resources and the acceptability of the Repugnant Conclusion
(Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2020)
La Conclusión Repugnante de Parfit argumenta, contraintuitivamente, que para cada mundo A hay otro mundo mejor Z con una población mayor y mínimo bienestar. Esa intuición es incorrecta porque el argumento no ha considerado ...
