A large literature shows that language influences cognition. Yet, we know very little about when and how linguistic influences on cognition become important in development. Here we test the proposal that one pathway by which language affects cognition is by activating category information which influences visual processing, and that this influence starts early. Across two experiments, we show t...

The economic crisis has revived the interest on the increasingly vulnerable position of youth in the labour market. In this paper we analyze flexicurity policies in the Nordic and in Southern European countries in the period previous to the crisis and explore whether they contribute to explain this trend and differences across countries. First of all, it is argued how the disadvantaged position...

Let $X$ be a sufficiently nice scheme. We survey some recent progress on dualizing complexes. It turns out that a complex in $kinj X$ is dualizing if and only if tensor product with it induces an equivalence of categories from Murfet's new category $kmpr X$ to the category $kinj X$. In these terms, it becomes interesting to wonder how to glue such equivalences.

This article examines some of Greta Thunberg’s life writing as an example the creativity and ingenuity with which young people engage identity category ‘youth’ in their writing. It argues that activism uses personal testimony order to amplify expertise epistemic source demands action on climate change. strategic use produces a paradoxical, but seemingly effective, form Thunberg provides future....

Wounds are of a variety of types and each category has its own distinctive healing requirements. This realization has spurred the development of a myriad of wound dressings, each with specific characteristics. It is unrealistic to expect a singular dressing to embrace all characteristics that would fulfill generic needs for wound healing. However, each dressing may approach the ideal requiremen...

invasive salmonellosis is common in tropical areas. this study examines the performance of a clinical definition for its recognition among children ages 1 to 14 years admitting to a referral pediatric hospital in tehran. 60 children were enrolled into the study during a period of 51 months. to facilitate analysis, cases were divided into 5 categories according to the likelihood of invasive salm...

Previous researchers have discovered perplexing inconsistencies in how human subjects appear to utilize knowledge of category base rates when making category judgments. In particular, Medin and Edelson (1988) found an “inverse base rate effect” in which subjects tended to select a rare category when tested with a combination of conflicting cues, and Gluck and Bower (1988) reported apparent “bas...

This paper shows how shape grammar can be used to derive cellular automata (CA) rules. Searching the potentially astronomical space of CA rules for relevance to a particular context has frustrated the wider application of CA as powerful computing systems. An approach is offered using shape grammar to visually depict the desired conditional rules of a behavior or system architecture (a form-func...
