Science Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive and memory deterioration, as well as changes in personality, behavioral disturbances and an impaired ability to perform activities of daily living. AD is known to be the most common type of dementia. Despite decades of intensive research, the precise etiology of AD remains elusive. The majori...

How capitalist organizations ensure the obedience of its members has long been a matter of discussion. Behind the idealism of “market freedom” lie more troubling realities of daily subordination and ideologies of conformity. Increasingly scholars have studied the effect of subjugating subjectivities present in capitalist production. Two specific features of modern capitalism have been the utili...

Four different accounts of the relationship between third-person mindreading and first-person metacognition are compared and evaluated. While three of them endorse the existence of introspection for propositional attitudes, the fourth (defended here) claims that our knowledge of our own attitudes results from turning our mindreading capacities upon ourselves. Section 1 introduces the four accou...

Background and Objectives: Evaluating the performance of clinical units is critical for effective management of health settings. Certain assessment of clinical variables for performance analysis is not always possible, calling for use of uncertainty theory. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an integrated independent component analysis-fuzzy-data envelopment analysis approach to accurate ...

worldwide networks of seismic recording instruments mostly record only translational ground motion in two or three orthogonal directions. rotational component of earthquake is not commonly recorded. several theories are available to estimate a torsional component from recorded translational components of ground motion. in this paper detailed investigations are made to study the relative perform...

The use of principal component methods to analyze functional data is appropriate in a wide range of different settings. In studies of “functional data analysis,” it has often been assumed that a sample of random functions is observed precisely, in the continuum and without noise. While this has been the traditional setting for functional data analysis, in the context of longitudinal data analys...

This article uses the late work of Peter Mair as a guide to reconstruct contemporary Mexican politics through three phenomena: cartelization party system, hollowing democracy and populist challenge posed by Andrés Manuel López Obrador in 2018. The thesis this paper is that both his critics appeal different ways understanding democracy: one emphasizes its « popular » component another prioritize...
