The metaphysical concerns of David Shahar's short stories lead repeatedly to a pronounced metanarrative focus in this fiction. Metanarrative awareness develops on three complementary levels of Shahar's work: a) as explicit textual commentary by the narrator (e.g. Si'ur rison, and others); b) as complexities of narrative organization that struggle against the inescapably discrete and discursive ...

neurolaw, as an interdisciplinary field which links the brain to law, facilitates the pathway to better understanding of human behavior in order to regulate it accurately through incorporating neuroscience achievements in legal studies. since 1990's, this emerging field, by study on human nervous system as a new dimension of legal phenomena, leads to a more precise explanation for human behavio...

The increased complexity of health information management sows the seeds of inequalities between health care stakeholders involved in the production and use of health information. Patients may thus be more vulnerable to use of their data without their consent and breaches in confidentiality. Health care providers can also be the victims of a health information system that they do not fully mast...

A key issue in models of lexical production is whether a model of hearer knowledge influences speakers’ productions. In this study we investigate whether the durational shortening of repeated words is a consequence of mutual knowledge, or if it is a byproduct of speaker internal processes. In a study of spontaneously produced narrations, in Experiment 1 we demonstrated that repeated words are s...

Block-flexure is the most common mode of toppling failure in natural and excavated rock slopes. In such failure, some rock blocks break due to tensile stresses and some overturn under their own weights and then all of them topple together. In this paper, first, a brief review of previous studies on toppling failures is presented. Then, the physical and mechanical properties of experimental mode...
