There are moments in history, perceived both individually and collectively, which proposing to imagine—even project—becomes an apparently unattainable task. 2020 took us socially unprepared and, although some places the current situation is deeply serious while others feel more tolerable, we have a total uncertainty about future. We can consider that information allows visualize indicators lead...

Diagnostic Performance by Medical Students Working Individually or in Teams Diagnostic errors contribute substantially to preventable medical error.' Cognitive error is among the leading causes and mostly results from faulty data synthesis. Furthermore, reflecting on their confidence does not prevent physicians from committing diagnostic errors.' Diagnostic decisions usually are not made by ind...

ABSTRACT Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) processes – namely Ohmic resistivity, ambipolar diffusion, and the Hall effect modify early stages of star formation process surrounding environment. Collectively, they have been shown to promote disc or hinder outflows. But which non-ideal has greatest impact? Using three-dimensional smoothed particle radiation MHD simulations, we model gravitationa...

Japan’s population is aging faster than any other nation’s, producing many more older voters, and raising an important question related to intergenerational equity. Do voters prioritize their short-term self-interest at the expense of generations? I find that in Japan are surprisingly less self-interested—even similarly aged advanced economies—in maximizing benefits as service consumers detrime...

This article analyses the phenomenon of ‘micro-domination’, in which a series dominated choices are individually inconsequential for person’s freedom but collectively consequential. Where concerned objectively inconsequential, micro-domination poses problem ‘objective threshold’ accounts domination either prioritise particularly bad forms or exclude powers that do not risk causing serious harm ...

We examined the association of 28 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), previously associated with dementia or cognitive performance, with tests assessing episodic memory, working memory, vocabulary, and perceptual speed in 1689 nondemented older Australians of European ancestry. In addition to testing each variant individually, we assessed the collective association of the 12-risk SNPs for l...
