R spider is a web-based tool for the analysis of a gene list using the systematic knowledge of core pathways and reactions in human biology accumulated in the Reactome and KEGG databases. R spider implements a network-based statistical framework, which provides a global understanding of gene relations in the supplied gene list, and fully exploits the Reactome and KEGG knowledge bases. R spider ...

We show how to enhance a low-level logical language, such as the ‘Schröder-Tarski’ calculus of dyadic relations, so as to make it amenable to a friendly usage. An equational formalism of that kind can play a fundamental role in a two-level architecture of logic-based systems. Three forms of definitional extensions are supported: (1) introduction of new term constructors; (2) ‘disguisement’ of s...

We have tried to construct a textual input language that is as user friendly as possible, while keeping the parser simple. In the syntax, we have borrowed extensively from the creators of HyTech [HHWT97], since their language is intuitively understandable. The following sections describe the syntax of PHAVer’s representation of automata, states, relations etc., and brief descriptions of the ana...

We review the relationship between polygyny and HIV and identify a positive individual-level correlation, and a negative ecological correlation. We subsequently examine two mechanisms that contribute to the individual-level correlation. First, we find that men in polygynous marriages have more extramarital sex than men in monogamous unions (both in terms of self reports and in terms of spousal ...

where the variables α and β range over entities of some sort, and where ∼ is an equivalence relation on this sort of entity. Frege’s inconsistent Basic Law V shows that not every such principle is acceptable. A variety of criteria for acceptable abstraction have been proposed.1 In this note I analyze the logical relations between some of the proposed criteria, in particular conservativeness, ir...

The importance of a person's spirit and eternal destiny are eclipsed in American medi- cine. The most alarming effect of this eclipse is that the prevalence of burnout among physicians is high (about 46 percent) and growing.' It is alarming because trends that deplete the physician's spirit tragically impair the physician's capacity as a healer and as one who renews the spirit.

Sunni Islam has no supreme legal authority and disagreement by doctors of Islamic law over all issues not clarified by Islamic law is physiological. This is the case with Medically Assisted Reproduction: after an initially critical attitude, tolerance, limited exclusively to homologous practices, is spreading, whilst recourse to heterologous practices is considered on a par with adultery or for...

Premarital precursors of infidelity were evaluated in a sample of 72 couples (N = 144) who were taking part in a longitudinal study of marriage. Premarital self-report and observational data were compared for couples who experienced infidelity and those who did not experience infidelity in the first years of marriage. Couples in which the male engaged in marital infidelity were characterized, p...

The aim of this research is to examine the views children between ages 7 and 12 about their social relations during Covid-19 process also reveal what effect pandemic has on lives. data, for purpose, were collected by using a semi- structured questionnaire in-depth interwies with 15 studens years 2020 2021. Those educated 1-7 classes public primary secondary schools had parental leave. semi-stru...

This paper presents a web supported development tool specific for medical diagnosis, based on Bayesian networks. The proposed system provides a user-friendly interface, giving the users (experts in the medical domain) the possibility to design diagnostic applications without deep background knowledge on Bayesian networks theory. Efficient statistical inference mechanisms are implemented, taking...
