1. DO LINGUISTIC MEANINGS MEET LINGUISTIC FORM?
Abstract In this brief note, I offer some considerations to the effect of arguing (i) that Duffley's criticism to formal semantics is based on a dogma about the proper nature of the linguistic sing, and (ii) that, even when I agree with the general spirit of his realizational theory of meaning, an explicit theory of how syntax affects meanings realization is

2. BOZICKOVIC’S THE INDEXICAL POINT OF VIEW. SOME COMMENTS.
Abstract In these short comments, I concentrate mostly on the discussion about belief retention, about Frege’s dilemma concerning sentences containing temporal indexical expressions and about the problems of cognitive significance it raises. I argue that Bozickovic’s interpretation of Perry’s proposals (both of the 70’s proposal and of its later deve

3. BOOK REVIEW: SALLES, S. Vagueness as Arbitrariness, (Springer, 2021, 206 Pages).
Abstract The present paper is a review of Salles’ book Vagueness as Arbitrariness. In the first part I present a summary of each chapter. Chapters 1 to 3 are presented only cursorily. Basically, they offer some preliminary remarks about the problem of vagueness and defend several criteria for evaluating the adequacy of the solutions. Chapters 4 and 5 are d

4. Aortic Valve Reconstruction with Ozaki Technique
Abstract Modern bioprostheses offer a complete and definitive solution to elderly patients who need aortic valve surgery. Nonetheless, the scenario is more demanding when dealing with younger and less fragile patients. In this setting, any prosthetic aortic valve replacement can provide only a suboptimal solution and its related issues have not been fixed ye

5. Gene Silencing Therapeutics in Cardiology: A Review Article
Abstract Therapeutics that inhibit enzymes, receptors, ion channels, and cotransporters have long been the mainstay of cardiovascular medicine. Now, oligonucleotide therapeutics offer a modern variation on this paradigm of protein inhibition. Rather than target a protein, however, small interfering ribonucleic acids and antisense oligonucleotides target the

6. COUNTERFACTUAL ANALYSIS BY ALGORITHMIC COMPLEXITY: A METRIC BETWEEN POSSIBLE WORLDS
Abstract Counterfactuals have become an important area of interdisciplinary interest, especially in logic, philosophy of language, epistemology, metaphysics, psychology, decision theory, and even artificial intelligence. In this study, we propose a new form of analysis for counterfactuals: analysis by algorithmic complexity. Inspired by Lewis-Stalnaker's Pos

7. TWO ARGUMENTS FOR THE INCOHERENCE OF NON-TELEOLOGICAL DEISM
Abstract I argue that one form of deism, what I shall call ‘moderate non-teleological deism’, seems prima facie incoherent (at least on the assumption of the intuitive Anselmian conception of God). I offer two arguments in support of the prima facie incoherence view: the moral irresponsibility argument and the practical irrationality argument. On the one

8. A Genetic Algorithm for Pointwise Source Reconstruction by the Method of Fundamental Solutions
ABSTRACT Inverse source reconstruction problems offer great potential for applications of interest to engineering, such as the identification of polluting sources, and to medicine, such as electroencephalography, to cite at least two relevant examples. From a mathematical point of view, the identification of a concentrated source (intensity and location) cor

9. ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF AGRICULTURAL TRACTORS EQUIPPED WITH CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE AND FULL POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS
ABSTRACT The efficiency of agricultural tractor transmission has been improved over the years, with new concepts such as Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and Full Powershift (FPS) evolving in advanced technologies. Both options seek to offer the farmer greater operational results with lower energy expenditure, necessitating studies to assess the effe

10. Times and methods of black oat management on corn plantability
ABSTRACT The importance of maintaining straw on the soil surface is a subject widely discussed and proven in the literature. However, the effects of this straw on planting efficiency and quality still lack information. In this sense, both time and method of the black oat management influence the permanence of the straw on the soil and, thus, can interfere in

11. Mechanical Circulatory Assist Devices: Which Is the Best Device as Bridge to Heart Transplantation?
ABSTRACT Introduction: Heart transplantation is the recommended treatment method for patients with advanced heart failure that is refractory to clinical treatment. Due to the progressive severity of these patients and the impossibility of performing the transplant in a short term, there are mechanical circulatory assist devices that can offer necessary hemo

12. Evening chronotype as a bipolar feature among patients with major depressive disorder: the results of a pilot factor analysis
Objectives: The bipolar spectrum concept has resulted in a paradigm shift that has affected both the diagnosis and therapy of mood disorders, with bipolarity becoming an indicator of treatment resistance in depression. Evening circadian preference has also been linked to affective disorders. The aim of our study was to confirm the relationship between the se
