The problem of negative existentials arises because utterances of such sentences have the paradoxical feature of denying what they presuppose, thus undermining their own truth. There are only two general strategies for solving the problem within the constraints traditional static semantics, and both strategies attempt to explain away this paradoxical feature. I argue that both strategies are fu...

We report a case of paradoxical worsening of tuberculous chorioretinitis after initiation of anti-tuberculous therapy (ATT). The patient had left panuveitis with tuberculous chorioretinitis and was started on systemic ATT and oral steroids a week later. However, he developed paradoxical worsening 2 months after initiation of therapy. He was continued on ATT, oral steroids and intravitreal amika...

Paradoxical response occurring in a patient of tuberculosis leading to the development of new lesions is a well known phenomenon. However pericardial effusion occurring due to paradoxical response in an immunocompetant patient is a rare phenomenon. We report a case of paradoxical response in a 19 year old girl who was on anti-tuberculosis treatment for mediastinal lymph node tuberculosis. The p...

This note considers the problem of paradoxical results in multidimensional item response theory. This is the possibility that a deliberately incorrect response could be beneficial to an examinee. An example is created that demonstrates that, when three or more ability dimensions are considered, paradoxical results can occur for Bayesian estimates even for separable tests when all the dimensions...

Most cases of fatal hypothermia are accidental, often in connection with alcoholisation, homelessness, age-related confusedness and others. The phenomenon of paradoxical undressing may be observed. A paradoxical feeling of warmth in the advanced condition of hypothermia leads to the behaviour of undressing, partly or completely. Suicides with intentional hypothermia are rare. Fatal hypothermia ...

reduced differental transform method (rdtm), which isone of the useful and effective numerical method, is applied to solve nonlinear time-dependent foam drainage equation (fde) with different initial conditions. we compare our method with the famous adomian decomposition and laplace decomposition methods. the obtained resultsdemonstrated that rdtm is a powerful tool for solving nonlinear par...
