Abstract The global spread of Covid-19 not only disrupted transborder movement. In many (if most) states, stasis and closure became the default norm at within borders. This, in turn, generated exceptions organised around an idea ‘essential’ entry. category was produced, revised, represented through interaction pandemic-driven exigencies nationally-specific articulations legal, political, econom...

Many known planning tasks have inherent constraints concerning the best order in which to achieve the goals. A number of research efforts have been made to detect such constraints and to use them for guiding search, in the hope of speeding up the planning process. We go beyond the previous approaches by considering ordering constraints not only over the (top-level) goals, but also over the sub-...

Experiencing tactile facial stimulation while seeing synchronous stimuli on the face of another individual induces "enfacement," i.e., the subjective illusory experience of ownership of the other's face (explicit measure) and the attribution of the others' facial features to one's own face (implicit measure). Here we expanded previous knowledge by investigating if the tendency to include the ot...

We present K-band polarimetric images of several massive young stellar objects at resolutions ∼ 0.1-0.5 arcsec. The polarization vectors around these sources are nearly centro-symmetric, indicating they are dominating the illumination of each field. Three out of the four sources show elongated low-polarization structures passing through the centers, suggesting the presence of polarization disks...

The current study explored whether new words in a foreign language are learned better from pictures than from native language translations. In both between-subjects and within-subject designs, Swahili words were not learned better from pictures than from English translations (Experiments 1-3). Judgments of learning revealed that participants exhibited greater overconfidence in their ability to ...

Logical Forms are an exceptionally important linguistic representation for highly demanding semantically related tasks like Question/ Answering and Text Understanding, but their automatic production at runtime is higly error-prone. The use of a tool like XWNet and other similar resources would be beneficial for all the NLP community, but not only. The problem is: Logical Forms are useful as lon...
