A Reassessment of Cantorian Abstraction based on the " -operator

Cantor’s abstractionist account of cardinal numbers has been criticized by Frege as a psychological theory of numbers which leads to contradiction. The aim of the paper is to meet these objections by proposing a reassessment of Cantor’s proposal based upon the set theoretic framework of Bourbaki—called BK—which is a First-order set theory extended with Hilbert’s ε -operator. Moreover, it is argued that the BK system and the ε -operator provide a faithful reconstruction of Cantor’s insights on cardinal numbers. I will introduce ﬁrst the axiomatic setting of BK and the deﬁnition of cardinal numbers by means of the ε -operator. Then, after presenting Cantor’s abstractionist theory, I will point out two assumptions concerning the deﬁnition of cardinal numbers that are deeply rooted in Cantor’s work. I will claim that these assumptions are supported as well by the BK deﬁnition of cardinal numbers, which will be compared to those of Zermelo–von Neumann and Frege–Russell. On the basis of these similarities, I will make use of the BK framework in meeting Frege’s objections to Cantor’s proposal. A key ingredient in the defence of Cantorian abstraction will be played by the role of representative sets, which are arbitrarily denoted by the ε -operator in the BK deﬁnition of cardinal numbers.
HOW GEOGRAPHY AND ORGANIZATIONAL EXPLANATION OF DEVELOPMENT ARE MUCH MORE INTERLINKED THAN IT SEEMS - EVALUATION FROM PERSPECTIVE OF HISTORICAL EVIDENCE

The foundational discovery of inversion in wealth disparity among territories that Europeans seized as their imperial power by Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson (AJR) is used in this study to assess growth theories in the context of past data. Using the AJR inversion of fortune concept as a reference point, we attempt to discover which greater deters in the non-European universe in the pre-colonial historical past have converted themselves into impoverished communities in contemporary correlation, although some of the poorest areas in the pre-1500 specified timeframe are now considered one of the most developed markets of currently. Our findings show that, while theoretically and empirically proof in the research points to organizational explanations for differences in long production developments, historical and ethnic boundaries must be considered to get a full picture of how various organizational structures have progressed in various locations over time.
Cryo-electron tomography with mixed-scale dense neural networks reveals key steps in deployment of Toxoplasma invasion machinery

Host cell invasion by intracellular, eukaryotic parasites within the phylum Apicomplexa, is a remarkable and active process involving the coordinated action of apical organelles and other structures. To date, capturing how these structures interact during invasion has been difficult to observe in detail. Here, we used cryogenic electron tomography to image the apical complex of Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites under conditions that mimic resting parasites and those primed to invade through stimulation with calcium ionophore. Through the application of Mixed Scale Dense networks for image-processing, we developed a highly efficient pipeline for annotation of tomograms, enabling us to identify and extract densities of relevant subcellular organelles and accurately analyze features in 3D. The results reveal a dramatic change in the shape of the anteriorly located apical vesicle upon its apparent fusion with a rhoptry, that occurs only in the stimulated parasites. We also present information indicating that this vesicle originates from the vesicles that parallel the intraconoidal microtubules and that the latter two structures are linked by a novel tether. We show that a rosette structure previously proposed to be involved in rhoptry secretion is associated with apical vesicles beyond just the most anterior one. This result, suggesting multiple vesicles are primed to enable rhoptry secretion, may shed light on the mechanisms Toxoplasma employs to enable repeated invasion attempts. Using the same approach, we examine Plasmodium falciparum merozoites and show that they too possess an apical vesicle just beneath a rosette, demonstrating evolutionary conservation of this overall subcellular organization.
Factors that Influence the Use of e-Banking and the Effect on Consumptivism

This research aimed to explore factors that influence the use of e-banking and their effect on consumptive behaviour of the Moslem students of the Faculty of Economics Universitas Islam Indonesia (FE UII). The factors were Completeness of the Feature, Service Quality, Trust, Social Influence (IV), Use of e-Banking (MV), Consumptive Behavior (DV). The research accommodated convenience sampling. Through Google Forms obtained 120 FE UII students who used e-banking. SPSS 23 was used to test the data, hypothesis. Sobel test was used to verify the effect of mediating variable. With alpha of 0.05, results of the test showed that the association of all the four IVs to MV, and to DV; as well as MV to DV were supported. The F value was 0.000 while the adjusted R 2 was 0.320. The Sobel test indicated that Use of e-Banking was positive-significant toward Consumptive Behavior. Result of this research confirmed that e-Banking had become one of the factors that created young people’s consumptive behavior, while consumptive behavior is prohibited in the teachings of Islam. It becomes an alert for FE UII about issues of consumptivism in its students. For further research with similar objectives, variable of religiosity and lifestyle may be considered.
insan toplum Data Journalism in Turkey: Developing a Scale and Measuring Journalists’ Skills

: Data journalism has recently emerged as an important method of news gathering and editing in journalism. For data journalism -which includes the process of producing news from data-journalists need to have various skills and competencies. As a result of the literature review, it is observed that the required skills and competencies for data journalism have not been determined precisely, and in this regard, there is a lack of quantitative studies to measure these skills and competencies of data journalism. This study aims to develop a unique scale that will reveal the data journalism skills of news producers. For this purpose, a data journalism scale has been developed through an online survey applied to news producers registered with the Turkish Press Agency (BIK). As a result of the item pool, expert views, and the scale application stages, it is understood that data journalism skills can be measured with a 2-factor structure: “data skills and tools” and “journalism skills. ” The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient for the overall 21-item data journalism scale was calculated as 0.856, the data skills and tools factor as 0.883, and the journalism skill factor as 0.821. As a result of the research, it has been determined that while the journalism skills of the news producers are at a high level, their competence in data processing is low. In this sense -as a result of the study-a revision is recommended in both academic and professional training curriculum to include data collection, analysis and visualization skills that will improve data skills of news producers
Measurement of the Momentum Spectrum of Cosmic Ray Muons at a Depth of 320 Mwe

Cosmic ray muons are produced through interactions of primary cosmic radiation in the atmosphere. They are a component of extensive air showers which can also be measured underground. The CosmoALEPH experiment used the ALEPH detector at the European Centre for Particle Physics, CERN, to measure cosmic ray muon events at a depth of 320 mwe underground. Measurements of the momentum spectrum and charge ratio of the cosmic ray muons are presented in this work. The results are compared with the expectations from MC simulations based on different hadronic interaction models.
Framing Strategic Decisions in the Digital World

This paper develops a conceptual framework to analyze the impact of digitalization on firms. Algorithms release cognitive resources of decision-makers who can focus on low-frequency/high-impact strategic decisions, such as innovation decisions, M&As, capital structure, and the acquisition of talent. In a digital world, different ability to frame firm strategies represents a key source of competitive advantage: by adopting a scientific approach to decision-making firms can embrace rather than escape uncertainty and rely on owners as strategists. We show that the growth of knowledge ( D K) becomes the ultimate purpose of the firm, from which other purposes descend. We analyze some applications of the framework and conclude by suggesting a research agenda.
ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF BLACK COTTON SOIL STABILIZED WITH COFFEE HUSK ASH AND LIME

Nowadays, the utilization of locally available waste materials for the improvement of poor soil properties is adapted in the stabilization method. In this study, coffee husk ash (CHA) is used as an admixture to improve the properties of black cotton (BC) soil for use as a road sub-grade. In order to assess the properties of an expansive soil admixed with different percentages of lime and CHA for each lime content, standard proctor compaction, Atterberg limits and California bearing ratio (CBR) tests were performed. Microanalysis and elemental analysis were conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The laboratory test results demonstrated that expansive soil stabilized with lime and CHA mixture is more effective than lime-stabilized soil by reducing the plasticity index and improving bearing capacity. Adding CHA to lime-stabilized soil increases the bearing capacity (the addition of 15% CHA to soil stabilized with 6% lime increased the CBR by 19.5%). In addition, CHA-stabilized soil has less swelling and shrinkage. From the elemental analysis, it was observed that the concentration of calcium increased for increased CHA content. In addition, X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals that the appearance of cementitious product on both CHA and lime-treated samples, which majorly contributed to the improvement of the geotechnical properties of the BC soil. material passed through a 63µm sieve. SEM analyses were done with a field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM, MERLIN® VP Compact, Co. Zeiss, Oberkochen) equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) detector. The XRD study was conducted using a Bruker CCD-diffractometer with Cu-Kα radiation (λ = 0.15406 nm). `MATCH! ´ (CRSTAL IMPACT) software was used to identify the mineralogical phases. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the effects of additives on the morphological structure of the BC soil. The micrographs of untreated BC soil, SC15, SC20, SL6, SL6C10, and SL6C15 at magnifications of 10000X were taken. Furthermore, the EDX spectrum was used to analyse the changes occurring in the chemical composition of the BC soil after treatment. EDX analyses were performed at representative areas of the examined samples. This study presents the characteristics of the BC soil treated with CHA, lime and a mixture of lime and CHA. Based on the test results obtained from the Atterberg limits, compaction, CBR, microstructural and mineralogical tests, the following conclusion can be drawn.

TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE OF A TRAVEL WEBSITE: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY

This study aims at examining the reasons that motivate travelers to use online travel websites for travel information search and reservations by adapting the technology acceptance model (TAM) (Davis, 1989). In particular it examines the site of an online travel guide. The results suggest that perceived usefulness determines behavioral intention to use the travel website. Perceived ease of use does not have a direct impact on behavioral intention; however, it influences perceived usefulness and behavioral intention indirectly. This study benefits practitioners in the pre-implementation stage to overcome complaints that system characteristics are arbitrary or in the post-implementation stage to determine the kinds of changes that provide the most meaningful impacts.
HOW FEMALE AND MALE DIRECTORS DIFFERENTIALLY INFLUENCE FIRM PERFORMANCE: AN INFORMATION-PROCESSING APPROACH

The purpose of this study is offering an alternative perspective to understand how and when the board team contributes to the firm. Focused on gender, in this study, interlocks and experience are examined as sources of information of the board team that being processed by each gender have different influence on firm performance. The findings show that the long experience of male directors precedes firm performance in stable conditions and that interlocks are resources that enhance the skills to process detailed information of female directors. The results also show some cases in which this information resources negatively relate to performance.
The Impact of Patent Applications Filed on Sustainable Development of Selected Asian Countries

- Innovative activity underpins economic productivity and growth. Countries that generate innovation, create new technologies, and encourage adoption of these new technologies grow faster than those that do not. In some industries patenting is identified as the most important means of protecting IP and is increasingly used as a strategic asset by companies to create sustainable competitive advantage – although, in others, secrecy is used to safeguard proprietary knowledge. The basic purpose of this paper is to see the impact of patent filing on economic growth of the country leading to sustainable development of the economy. For this, the paper analyzed and tested the data of 9 countries for the period of 10 years (2000-2009). The results concluded that it was a mixed result in case of Asian countries. Only, technology based countries’ economies were affected by patent applications filed.
Understanding U.S. Inflation During the COVID Era

This paper analyzes the dramatic rise in U.S. inflation since 2020, which we decompose into a rise in core inflation as measured by the weighted median inflation rate and deviations of headline inflation from core. We explain the rise in core with two factors, the tightening of the labor market as captured by the ratio of job vacancies to unemployment, and the pass-through into core from past shocks to headline inflation. The headline shocks themselves are explained largely by increases in energy prices and by supply chain problems as captured by backlogs of orders for goods and services. Looking forward, we simulate the future path of inflation for alternative paths of the unemployment rate, focusing on the projections of Federal Reserve policymakers in which unemployment rises only modestly to 4.4 percent. We find that this unemployment path returns inflation to near the Fed’s target only under optimistic assumptions about both inflation expectations and the Beveridge curve relating the unemployment and vacancy rates. Under less benign assumptions about these factors, the inflation rate remains well above target unless unemployment rises by more than the Fed projects.
Evidence for three-dimensional Fermi-surface topology of the layered electron-doped iron superconductor Ba(Fe 1-x Co x ) 2 As 2

The electronic structure of electron-doped iron-arsenide superconductors $\text{Ba}{({\text{Fe}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\text{Co}}_{x})}_{2}{\text{As}}_{2}$ has been measured with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The data reveal a marked photon energy dependence of points in momentum space where the bands cross the Fermi energy, a distinctive and direct signature of three dimensionality in the Fermi-surface topology. By providing a unique example of high-temperature superconductivity hosted in layered compounds with three-dimensional electronic structure, these findings suggest that the iron arsenides are unique materials, quite different from the cuprates high-temperature superconductors.

Opervlaktes grasland, sloten en slootkanten zijn gemeten en berekend voor twee polders in het Nederlandse veenweidegebied.
Assessment of Role of MRI in Detecting Pelvic Masses in Females

Assessment of role of MRI in detecting pelvic MRI in detecting pelvic masses in females. A total of 180 female subjects who reported with pelvic masses were enrolled. Complete demographic data and past medical history of all the subjects was obtained. Through clinical examination was done and clinical history was also obtained and recorded. The optimal assessment of pelvic massed was done using a multidisciplinary approach, based on physical examination, laboratory tests and imaging techniques. Ultrasonography (USG) was done in all the patients. All patients underwent pelvic ultrasonography by using both curvilinear (3-5 MHz) and linear (6-9 MHz) probes, with the patient in supine position. On second visit, MRI was done followed by histopathologic examination. All MRI procedures were carried by 1.5 Tesla with 60 cm bore size, system length 160 cm. Axial images were obtained using 256 x 256 matrix, 32 cm field of view and 4mm slice thickness. Coronal T2-weighted image (T2WI) and short T1 inversion recovery (STIR), sagittal T2WI and axial T2WI, T1WI, and STIR images were taken. Fat-suppressed T1W sequences before and after intravenous injection of gadolinium were also taken wherever needed. These pathologies were assessed for size, shape, signal intensity, character, and post contrast enhancement. All the results were obtained were subjected to endometriomas, followed by histopathologic examination. All the results were obtained were subjected to statistical analysis and comparison. SPSS software was used for assessing level of significance. Results: Uterine masses were diagnosed on ultrasound, MRI and histopathology in 81 cases each. Ovarian masses were identified in 25 cases, 83 cases and 85 cases on USG, MRI and histopathology respectively. Adnexal findings were obtained in 6 cases, 11 cases and 14 cases respectively on USG, MRI and histopathology respectively. On MRI examination, uterine fibroid leiomyoma were found to be present in 31.67 percent of the cases, simple ovarian cyst in 22.22 percent of the cases, cervical carcinoma in 16.11 percent of the cases and ovarian malignancy in 17.78 percent of the cases. Conclusion: MRI has significant utility in identification of spectrum of pelvic masses in females.
Effects of Parental Support, Bicultural Acceptance, and Self-Esteem on Career Attitude Maturity of Multicultural Adolescents

At a time when children of multicultural families have begun to enter adolescence in Korea, this study examined the effects of parental support and bicultural acceptance on the career attitude maturity of multicultural adolescents. This study tried to derive the implications related to the career path of multicultural adolescents by verifying the effects of self-esteem on the relationship between parental support, bicultural acceptance, and career attitude maturity. Using the 8th Multicultural Adolescent Panel Survey data (MAPS), the relative influence of antecedent variables on career attitude maturity was confirmed by hierarchical regression analysis of the data from 1,197 respondents. Model 1 included gender and parental support, Model 2 added bicultural acceptance to Model 1, and Model 3 added self-esteem to Model 2. As a result of the study, in Model 1, women had higher career attitude maturity than men, and the more supportive their parents were, the more positive the level of career attitude maturity. The adjusted R2 of Model 1 was . 058, which did not have much influence. In Model 2, gender, parental support, and bicultural acceptance had statistically significant effects on career attitude maturity, and the amount of change in F was also significant. The adjusted R2 of Model 2 was . 132. In Model 3, parental support was not statistically significant, and gender, bicultural acceptance, and self-esteem had statistically significant effects on career attitude maturity. The amount of change in F was statistically significant and the adjusted R2 was . 185. That is, it was confirmed that the more the women, the more the bicultural acceptance, and the higher the self-esteem, the more prepared and determined the career path. Based on the research results, the implications related to career preparation of multicultural adolescents were presented.
