The aim of this study is to examine the everyday life day-care institutions and culture peer relationships that develop there. Interdisciplinary studies childhood perceive it as a social construct separable from biological immaturity, they describe distinct toddler style socialisation with peers. In paradigm, participation in cultural routines central understanding child socialisation. Based on...

The paper investigates a dynamic alternative to plural e-type strategies, which is general enough to model the truth-conditional as well as the dynamic aspects of both increasing and non-increasing quantifiers. It combines two proposals for plural dynamic semantics: (i) atom predication denotes a set of assignments and set predication denotes a set of sets of assignments and (ii) a witness cond...

Among the many predictions made for observables of collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), hydrodynamic calculations regarding the expected flow characteristics turned out to be surprisingly accurate already a few months after running the new facility. In fact, those predictions were so convincing that they were awarded a bottle of wine in the RHIC prediction competition. That...

This article analyzes several Palestinian women’s films, in which damaged or compromised (occupied, besieged) houses nevertheless serve as the grounds for building a sense of home, claiming belonging, and fostering collectivity. Using the house as both a figural and a material frame for exploring how Palestinian women filmmakers posit questions of sociality and collectivity in constrained conte...

We distinguish between a collective’s goal and a collective goal, concentrating on the latter. Its relations to collective intention and action are spelled out. It is shown how a given goal, when additional predicates are ascribed to it, yields collective goals of increasing complexity. Our main task is to answer the question, “What makes a goal collective?” To this end, we will deal with the n...

Neutron-deficient nuclei in the mass 80 region are known to exhibit strongly deformed ground states deduced mainly from yrast-state properties measured in-beam via heavy-ion fusion-evaporation reactions. Vibrational excitations and non-yrast states as well as their interplay with the observed rotational collectivity have been less studied to date within this mass region. Thus, several β-decay e...

Bridging levels of “granularity” and “scale” are frequently cited as key problems for biomedical informatics. However, detailed accounts of what is meant by these terms are sparse in the literature. We argue for distinguishing two notions: “size range”, which deals with physical size, and “collectivity”, which deals with aggregations of individuals into collections which have emergent propertie...
