BackgroundIn the last three decades, the increasing trend in female employment in Bangladesh has been critically analyzed from a socioeconomic point of view; however, its impact on infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices has yet to be systematically reviewed. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to investigate the association between these variables.MethodsA systematic li

This article investigates changes in the right to social assistance – a means-tested cash support programme, regulated by the Social Services Act – for irregularised migrants over a period of four decades, 1982–2022. The article makes the case that austerity policies have hollowed out the right to support, with significant repercussions for those with irregularised residency status. In doing so, i

This study investigates building of trust between service providers and consumers on peer-to-peer tourist accommodation platforms by focusing on their affordances. Trust is necessary for peer-to-peer exchanges to happen. Platforms, as technological intermediaries afford specific actions that can result in trust, for example mutual consumer-provider reviews. Use of the same measures may imply suspi

This edited work draws on a range of contributed expertise to trace the fortune of an Aristotelian thesis over different periods in the history of philosophy. It presents eight cases of direct or indirect challenges to the Aristotelian passive account of human cognition, taking the reader from late antiquity to the 20th century. Chapters analyse the (often indirect) effect of Aristotle’s account o

The aim of this article is to show that at the end of the 13th century there’s a change of approach to the sophistical syllogism, going from a definition based on its formal features to a definition based on its pragmatic features. The first position is put forward by Simon of Faversham, during the 1280s, probably during his stay in Paris. The second position is put forward by Radulphus Brito, the

This paper analyses John Buridan’s approach to the notion of syllogism by putting it in the institutional and doctrinal contexts where he belongs, that is, the faculty of arts of the University of Paris and its Aristotelian logical tradition. The analysis aims to ascertain Buridan’s innovative contribution to the history of logic by underscoring the points of continuation and rupture with respect

Aristotle puts forward claims about truth in a number of places of his phil-osophical output, in works of logical, psychologico-epistemological andmetaphysical character. In these works, truth seems to be susceptible of at-tribution to thoughts, language, and things, but the modalities of these attri-butions remain unclear, as it is unclear whether these attributions are relatedto each other, and

Discussions about singular cognition, and its linguistic counterpart, are by no means exclusive to contemporary philosophy. In fact, a strikingly similar discussion, to which several medieval texts bear witness, took place in the late Middle Ages. The aim of this article is to partly reconstruct this medieval discussion, as it took place in Parisian question-commentaries on Aristotle's De anima, s

There is an abundance of commercial and open-source eye trackers available for researchers interested in gaze and eye movements. Which aspects should be considered when choosing an eye tracker? The paper describes what distinguishes different types of eye trackers, their suitability for different types of research questions, and highlights questions researchers should ask themselves to make an inf

This paper aims to shed light on the Aristotelian notion of dissent and its understanding in the medieval reception of Aristotle’s dialectics. Dissent is fundamental in Aristotle’s Topics, although its exact nature is not clear. Specifically, it is unclear whether dissent is essentially related to an epistemic quality of the premises involved, or whether it simply amounts to social disagreement ab

CONTEXT: When clinically stable, patients with A-β+ Ketosis-Prone Diabetes (KPD) manifest unique markers of amino acid metabolism. Biomarkers differentiating KPD from type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) during hyperglycemic crises would accelerate diagnosis and management.OBJECTIVE: Compare serum metabolomics of KPD, T1D and T2D patients during hyperglycemic crises, and utilize Classification a

Background: Hydrophilic polymer embolization (HPE) is a scarcely reported complication associated with endovascular procedures where the hydrophilic coating dislodges and disseminates to more distal vascular beds, leading to ischemic complications. The aim of this study is to assess the clinical outcomes associated with HPE in the literature and try to quantify it in a scoping manner. Methods: All
