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

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

However, it is not clear to what extent corresponding perceptual preferences for intonational deviations might rely on listeners’ instrumental expertise or such contextual aspects as the metrical placement of tones. We investigated higher-education music students’ perceptual preferences for melodic intonation of local leading tones in unaccompanied classical violin performances. Recordings of 12 e

Collaboration in governing complex environmental challenges is the norm. However, collaboration does not necessarily deliver desirable outcomes, and the importance of forming collaborative networks that effectively address the challenges at hand has been emphasized in theory and practice. Evidence for what constitutes a suitable network structure is still scarce, and the understanding of what fact

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) plays a crucial role in cardiovascular physiology, affecting cardiac function and arterial properties for optimal organ perfusion. Considering that diabetes mellitus (DM) is a known risk factor for incident heart disease and vascular damage, this study aims to investigate whether changes in VAC due to DM occur earlier, even before the onset of c

We propose a dynamical model depicting nitrogen (N2) fixation (diazotrophy) in a unicellular cyanobacterium, Crocosphaera watsonii, grown under light limitation and obligate diazotrophy. In this model, intracellular carbon and nitrogen are both divided into a structual pool and a storage pool. An internal pool that explicitly describes the nitrogenase enzyme is also added. The model is successfull

A novel mechanism of sequestering tumor suppressor mRNAs reveals new therapeutic vulnerabilities in leukemic cells.

The semi-natural grasslands of the Aso Caldera, Japan, have historically played a key role in maintaining biodiversity, tourism, and water resources. However, they are now in decline due to a decrease in the number of agricultural workers and an aging workforce, as well as structural changes and stagnation in the agricultural and livestock industries. This study focused on the water resource maint

Background and objective: The European Association of Urology (EAU) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) guideline panel has updated their evidence-based guidelines and recommendations for the management of RCC. Here we present a summary of the 2025 RCC guidelines updated with standardised methodology to provide reproducible evidence for the management of RCC. Methods: For the 2025 update, a literature sear

The human influence on Earth's ecosystems is omnipresent. Artificial light at night (ALAN), anthropogenic noise, and air pollution are inherent features of human activities and infrastructure and pose novel environmental challenges to urban-dwelling wildlife. So far, most of the studies investigating the impacts of exposure to urban pollutants on animals have either investigated the effects of urb
