The transfer of knowledge between planners and business decision makers can be improved when planners combine traditional visualizations with business knowledge visualizations. Today architects and urban planners use visualization methods such as sketches, diagrams, drawings, renderings, models and animations to illustrate their projects. While spending an enormous amount of time to illustrate ...

In Global South countries, ageing is an incoming phenomenon with socio-spatial implications that are not much explored yet. North countries already facing trends significant territorial consequences, such as declining populations contribute to making certain areas marginal. However, different factors may determine the marginality of a municipality or region in other settings. Drawing on these p...

Reg Golledge was a pioneer of behavioural geography, an approach he championed for his entire career. In nearly 50 years of publications, he developed a consistent and coherent theoretical framework to support his view that the best way to understand the geographical world was to understand how people cognized the world around them and made choices and decisions on the basis of such knowledge. ...

In the last decade, the debate about the ontological foundations of reified temporal logics (RTLs) has been relatively quiet, even though we think some problems still exist. In this paper, we identify some of these problems and propose (partial) solutions to them in a FOL framework. States are here characterized (at the syntactic level) as truth-makers of propositions—they reify true propositio...

In the absence of adequate preventive measures the manufacture of carbon electrodes is attended by a considerable dust hazard. The present paper is based on a study of the clinical, radiological, and pathological changes resulting from inhalation of this dust, which is derived from crushed coke and anthracite. An account is given of the findings in a clinical survey of 15 men who had been emplo...

The article is primarily concerned with the notion of a truth-maker. An explication for this notion is offered, which relates it to other notions of making something such-andsuch. In particular, it is shown that the notion of a truth-maker is a close relative of a concept employed by van Inwagen in the formulation of his Consequence Argument. This circumstance helps understanding the general me...

Manipulating neurotransmitter release from astrocytes neighboring the developing new neurons in the course of adult hippocampal neurogenesis, Sultan et al. (2015) reveal that glial influence on neurogenesis ranges from controlling basic precursor cell function well into the establishment of functional circuitry. This extends the concept of the "neurogenic niche" and its key role into advanced s...
