In two recent papers [9, 10] we answered a question raised in the book by Eklof and Mekler [7, p. 455, Problem 12] under the set theoretical hypothesis of ♦א1 which holds in many models of set theory, respectively of the special continuum hypothesis (CH). The objects are reflexive modules over countable principal ideal domains R, which are not fields. Following H. Bass [1] an R-module G is refl...

Recent behavioral data have shown that central nonpredictive gaze direction triggers reflexive shifts of attention toward the gazed-at location (e.g., Friesen & Kingstone, 1998). Friesen and Kingstone suggested that this reflexive orienting effect is unique to biologically relevant stimuli. Three experiments were conducted to test this proposal by comparing the attentional orienting produced by...

Through theories of mediatization it is commonly understood that political institutions and participatory practices adapt to the logics of mainstream media. Today the overall media and communication landscape is becoming digitalized. Technological processes of digitalization evolve in tandem with socio-cultural processes of reflexivity and individualization in late modernity. Thus politics and ...

Some authors (Muller and Saunders 2008, Huggett and Norton, 2013) have attempted to defend Leibniz’s identity of indicernibes through weak discernibility. The idea is that if there is a symmetric, non-reflexive physical relation which holds between two particles, then those particles cannot be identical. In this paper I focus only on Muller and Saunders’ account and argue that the means by whic...

In this note, it is proved that over a commutative noetherian henselian non-Gorenstein local ring there are infinitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable totally reflexive modules, if there is a nonfree cyclic totally reflexive module.

This article offers a dialogue with Mukund Lath. It is comprised of three parts: Part One introduces Lath’s body work. The second and third parts are jugalbandī, duet or Lath through his essays “Identity Through Necessary Change” (2003/2018) “Thoughts on Svara Rasa: Music as Thinking/Thinking Music” (2016). In the first essay, discusses question identity self, suggesting classical Indian music,...

The concept of σ-reflexive semigroups is due to Chacron and Thierrin in 1972. In the present paper we discuss σ-reflexive semigroups with apartness. We prove some fundamental properties of these semigroups.

There are three equivalent definitions of dimension for partially ordered sets. When generating these three definitions to ~'-dimension over an arbitrary class of orders ~, the three definitions diverge. We compare these three definitions and determine certain requirements under which they are equivalent.

Patients with Parkinson disease often have orthostatic hypotension. Neurocirculatory abnormalities underlying orthostatic hypotension might reflect levodopa treatment. Sixty-six Parkinson disease patients (36 with orthostatic hypotension, 15 off and 21 on levodopa; 30 without orthostatic hypotension) had tests of reflexive cardiovagal gain (decrease in interbeat interval per unit decrease in sy...
