El absurdo post apocalíptico en “Terraza con jardín infernal” de Francisco Tario
Authors: Juárez Becerril Oscar
Published: September 2024

One of the pressing issues of contemporaneity is the environmental debacle, inherent to any inhabitant of the planet. Literature is one of the expressions that has been concerned with warning about this problem. In particular, science fiction is in permanent dialogue with the possibilities offered by science; it wonders about the future by problematizing the present. One of the ways to manifest itself is through theater, an emotional and corporal genre, which fosters the freedom of human expression. In a present time that does not seem to grant great guarantees of a flattering future, they become, as a whole, a suitable artifact to inquire about the coming conditions and to face them. To develop these ideas, I will review the play "Terraza con jardín infernal" by Mexican writer Francisco Tario, based on approaches from ecocriticism and cyberpunk.

Abstract : Food and beverage cpmpanies have high growth potential and continue to develop.  As one of the subsectors on the IDX, food and beverage companies attract the interest of investors because of their ability to survive amidst Indonesia's unstable economic conditions. And judging from the capital structure measured using the Debt Equity Ratio of food and beverage companies in 2020-2023, on average companies use more external funds than their own capital. This research aims to determine the influence of asset structure, profitability (ROA), and company size on the capital structure of food and beverage companies listed on the IDX in 2020-2023. This type of research is causality research with a quantitative approach. The sample in this study was obtained using a purposive sampling method based on predetermined criteria, with a population of 99 companies and a sample size that met the criteria, there were 20 food and beverage companies which were analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS Version 23 software. The research results showed that ( 1) asset structure has no effect on capital structure, profitability (ROA) has an effect on capital structure, and company size has an effect on capital structure. (2) simultaneously asset structure, profitability (ROA), and company size influence capital structure.

Criminal composition is considered to be a set of features that characterize a socially dangerous act as a crime and are provided for in the criminal law. It is impossible to make a description of the norm that provides responsibility for the act without knowing its constituent features and characteristics. If the concept of crime includes the characteristics of a criminal act, including its social danger, illegality, culpability, and the fact that it should be punished according to its essence, the concept of criminal composition characterizes the system elements of the crime, its object, objective aspect, subject and subjective aspect. The signs of criminal composition mean the set of elements characteristic of an act considered a crime by law, which determine the social danger of the crime and characterize the individual characteristics that allow to distinguish this type of crime from another. Depending on the nature of the socially dangerous act they represent, the signs of the crime are divided into two types - objective signs and subjective signs. In essence, the objective and subjective signs of the criminal composition characterize the elements of the criminal composition. The objective signs of the crime include the object and the objective aspect of the crime, and the subjective signs include the subject and the subjective aspect of the crime.

Published: September 2024

To strengthen formalism and improve tax collection in Ecuador, a tax culture is needed, where the majority of businessmen operate informally and many do not comply with accounting and tax regulations. Ecuadorian law defines the formal obligations, responsibilities and rights of taxpayers, however, in many cases, merchants do not know the formal duties and therefore the general objective has been defined to develop strategies that allow merchants associated with the Chamber of Quevedo Commerce create an accounting system and tax culture. The methodology used is exploratory and descriptive, using a survey to evaluate the current state of the accounting and tax culture among the suppliers of the Quevedo Chamber of Commerce. The results of the internal and external analysis identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, thus determining the development of defense strategies to improve the situation. Education, trust in institutions and citizen participation are the keys to changing the tax culture in Ecuador. Creating a fairer and more efficient tax system requires a comprehensive approach, including sustainable public policies.

The Relationship between Attachment Styles and Psychological Distress in Adult Children with Alcoholic Fathers
Authors: Ivan Suneel  , Elizabeth M. Schwaiger  , Sarah Anthony
Published: September 2024

Research suggests that a causal relation exists between alcoholism in fathers and the resulting personality and behavior of the child. Correlational research design was used to explore two variables and purposive sampling was considered the best sampling strategy for a sample of 202 males and 198 females. For the participants, age (18-25) and education (tenth grade as minimum level of education) were the two variables that were controlled. Any child of alcoholic father above or below the age bracket given and possessing lower than 10th grade of education was not selected. Demographic sheet, General health Questionnaire and Adult Attachment Questionnaire were filled out by the participants. A one-way Analysis of Variance revealed significant differences between all three groups. Those with secure attachment styles reported the least psychological distress, followed by the avoidant attachment style group. Those falling into the anxious/ambivalent attachment style reported the highest levels of psychological distress. The results were discussed in the light of the literature review. The alcoholic consumption of the parents and their abusive behavior towards the children can manifest as fear of intimacy, unstable relationships, and lack of confidence and self-worth for the victims. It is further proposed that these problems can carry through generations if left unchecked, creating a plethora of damaged individuals.
“We can return to Normal”: Tourism, Poverty, and Development Economic of Bali in Indonesia

Published: September 2024

Tourism is the sector most impacted during the pandemic, while the effort to make tourism go back to normal post-pandemic will promote economic development. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the strategies for the tourism sector to return to normal as the abundance for Bali in Indonesia. To deal with, this study involved 120 participants in some areas in Bali that were further analyzed using SWOT analysis. The findings indicate that the decline in the tourism sector due to the pandemic has caused Bali’s economic performance to diminish dramatically, which causes the issue of poverty. For this reason, the results suggest that the tourism recovery strategy must start with efforts to recover in the post-pandemic, including accelerating traditional village-based community enhancement and dealing with disaster mitigation, which helps speed up the handling of the pandemic in Bali Province. Lastly, the digital promotion for tourism can raise the visitors to revisit Bali as the main priority for tourism. Thus, the findings can be used by policy scholars and the government to make the economy normal.

Published: September 2024

The management of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs) is one of the most challenging medical issues. The important factors leading to DFUs are ischaemia, neuropathy, infection and poor blood sugar control. Delayed wound healing or non-healing of the DFU is often attributed to inadequate wound assessment, inappropriate footwear and failure to implement pressure off-loading and poor infection control. Applying the basic principles of wound management can help in achieving complete wound closure.
Assessment of Patellofemoral Overstuffing on the Results of Total Knee Arthroplasty: An Observational Prospective Study
Authors: Gulati Divesh
Published: September 2024

Background: For severe knee arthritis, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a successful surgical procedure. However, complications related to surgical technique, such as patellofemoral overstuffing, can impact postoperative outcomes. Objective: This observational prospective study aimed to assess the influence of patellofemoral overstuffing on TKA outcomes, focusing on clinical parameters, functional scores, and patient satisfaction. Methods: Patients undergoing primary TKA with patellar resurfacing and a patella thickness of 23 mm or less were included. Overstuffing was achieved by resecting less than 8 mm of the patella and placing an 8 mm thick patellar button. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A (with overstuffing) and Group B (without overstuffing). Clinical parameters, functional scores, and patient satisfaction were assessed preoperatively and at three and six months postoperatively. Results: A total of 196 patients (266 knees) were included in the study. Group A comprised 185 patients with overstuffing, while Group B consisted of 81 patients without overstuffing. The differences in mean flexion, Knee Severity Score (KSS) (p-value = 0.4), and Oxford Knee Score (OKS) (p-value = 0.2) between the two groups at three and six months postoperatively were not significant. Furthermore, there were no reports of iatrogenic patellar fractures. Conclusion: Patellofemoral overstuffing, within the parameters studied, did not adversely affect post-TKA outcomes. Further research is warranted to optimize surgical techniques and minimize complications associated with patellar management in TKA.
Progression of pentosan polysulfate sodium maculopathy following discontinuation

Published: September 2024

Examination of a 69-year-old woman with a family history of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) revealed bilateral macular atrophy with surrounding deposits evident on fundus autofluorescence (FAF). The extent of macular atrophy in this 69-year-old, lack of typical drusen, and FAF pattern did not support a diagnosis of AMD. Her clinical presentation was consistent with pentosan polysulfate sodium (PPS) maculopathy. Further questioning revealed that she had been taking 400 mg of PPS daily for 7 years (cumulative dose ~1000g) but had stopped 2 years ago. Review of available previous images demonstrated continued progression of the maculopathy after discontinuation of PPS. FAF demonstrated atrophy in both eyes 18 months after PPS discontinuation, as well as its progression over the subsequent 6 months. Her clinical presentation was consistent with PPS maculopathy, with evidence of progressive atrophy despite PPS discontinuation 2 years earlier.

Background
Sexual well-being is essential to the quality of life, and it influences an individual's overall health. The study examined the interplay of emotional and physiological factors in sexual well-being among men of Ekiti State. Methods
 A quantitative cross-sectional study Involving 339 men aged 18 to 65 was carried out. Twelve communities' households were used to select study respondents through a multistage, sys-tematic sampling process. A structured questionnaire was utilized to assist in the collection of data. SPSS IBM statistics version 26 was used to analyse the data, and the statistical significance value was set at < 0.05 and <0.01  Results
 Getting easily aroused by a particular stimulus from the opposite sex at 87% in the physical domain, emphasise diverse responses to stimuli. While excitement during intercourse is overwhelm-ingly high at 95.7%, the similarly high rate of easy orgasm at 93.2% further suggests widespread sex-ual satisfaction. In the sexual dysfunction domain, the result shows the presence of sexual violence at 29.1%  and a considerable portion (41.5%) experiences a loss of libido. Median values indicate moderate to high satisfaction across domains. Number of wives (P=0.013), marital status (p=0.011), and specific occupations (civil servant (p=<0.001) and petty trader( p= 0.034)) significantly predict sexual wellbeing at bivariate and multivariate levels of analysis.  
Conclusions
Promoting demographic and socioeconomic factors that predict sexual wellbeing and addressing concerns related to violence, quick orgasm, or loss of libido may contribute to pro-moting healthier and more satisfying sexual experiences for individuals

Published: September 2024

INTRODUCTORY: Hypertensive arterial system (SAH), responsible for affecting more than 1.3 billion pounds in total, is a chronic condition with clear symptoms that increases the risk of more serious cases. In Brazil, around 30% of the adult population is free from this, with diagnosis and treatment problems being accentuated in the North due, for example, to limited infrastructure and geographical difficulties. Studying the profile of patients in the region can help develop audiences to improve management and reduce hospitalizations. METHODOLOGY: this study was carried out using data obtained from the SUS IT Department (DATASUS), through the Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS), in the TABNET tool. According to varied analyzes by federal region, idea, gender and death rate, referring to our HAS patients hospitalized in the Northern states from 2013 to 2023. RESULTS: 60,843 patients hospitalized for hypertension in the Northern region of Brazil between the years 2013 and 2023, the majority, in 2015, female, aged 60 to 69 years, with a rate of hospitalizations and a rate of deaths in the Rondônia region. CONCLUSION: tackling the hypertension situation in the North of Brazil requires a coordinated effort that involves effective public policies, continuous education and improvements in health services, in addition to knowing the profile and particularities in order to provide a better quality of care.

Challenging the strategy paradigm within the paper packaging industry
Authors: Olander Roese M. , Olsson A.
Published: September 2024

Formulating and implementing a new strategy may be a challenging task, especially if it alters the way in which a company has operated and positioned itself before. This may be particularly true for companies within the forest industry, like manufacturers of paper packaging products, pursuing differentiated customer value and innovative solutions where, traditionally, success has been measured in volume and relative position on a cost curve. In theory there are different schools of thought and approaches on how to go about formulating and implementing strategy. In practice, going through strategic change may create a need to embrace new ways of thinking and acting in order to close the gap between formulation and implementation, between knowing what to do and doing it. This gap, particularly the interdependence between formulation and implementation in the context of change between strategies of different schools and assumptions, merits more attention in literature. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of strategic change, illustrating a change process of formulating and implementing a strategy through the lenses of schools of strategy and cognitive research. The purpose is also to suggest areas for future research and practical guidance for organisations aiming to break away from a reigning strategy paradigm in search for new ways to compete. Based on a longitudinal case study of Billerud, a Swedish world-leading manufacturer of paper packaging material, two propositions are suggested for future research and practical guidance for managers when formulating and implementing strategic change. Firstly for an organisation going through strategic change, understanding the assumptions behind different strategic intents and the link between a chosen strategy and critical core activities, capabilities and culture is a prerequisite to enable a transition. Secondly, strategic change is enabled through an iterative and probing approach between formulation and implementation which considers knowledge and learning of new concepts, activity and culture as situated.
GÜNDELİK YAŞAMDA ALGORİTMALAR VE ROBOTİK SÜREÇLER ÜZERİNE SOSYOLOJİK BİR ANALİZ
Authors: Günay İbrahim Emre
Published: September 2024

Algoritmalar geliştikçe yaşam giderek doğallıktan çıkarak robotik sürece evrilmektedir ve insan da robotik sürecin bir parçası olarak dönüşmektedir. Neo-kapitalist sistemde algoritmalar akışa hız ve yoğunluk kazandırarak insanları sistemle bütünleştirmekte ve akışı engelleyebilecek tüm pürüzleri de yok ederek sistemin yeniden daha güçlü bir şekilde üretilmesini sağlamaktadır. Algoritmalar insanların arkalarında bıraktıkları verilerin temelinde, onlara belirli seçenekler sunarak robotik süreçler oluşturmakta ve insanı robotik süreçler içinde hapsetmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı yaşamın algoritmaların gelişmesiyle robotik sürece dönüştüğünü ve insanın da robotik sürecin bir parçası olarak değiştiğini, insanın görme yetisi, dünyayı anlamlandırması ve diğer insanlarla olan ilişkileri ve deneyimleri üzerinden ortaya koymaktır. Teknolojik gelişmeler ve yapay zekâ çalışmaları sonucunda algoritmalarda yaşamı düzenleyici ve sistemi yeniden üreten bir bileşene dönüşmüştür. Bu bağlamda çalışmada önce algoritmaların gelişimi ele alınacak ve sonrasında ise algoritmalarla robotik süreçlerin oluşumu ve bu süreçlerde insanın nasıl hapsedildiği örneklerle gösterilecektir. Bu çalışma nitel bir yaklaşımla ve doküman analizi yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Literatürde yapay zekâ ve algoritmalarla ilgili makale ve tezler vardır, ancak algoritmaların gündelik yaşamın ve insanın sistemin gerektirdiği şekilde gerçekleşen dönüşümünde oynadığı rolü araştırma konusu olarak alan bir çalışma görülmemiştir. Bu bağlamda yapay zekâ ve algoritmaların kendi alanlarında nasıl geliştikleri ve sosyolojinin konusu olan kapitalist sistemde insanın gündelik yaşamıyla ilgili makaleler, tezler ve diğer yazılı neşriyat içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Ayrıca çalışma algoritmaların işlevi ve robotik süreçlerle sınırlandırılmıştır.
Determining Biases in the Card-Chameleon Cryptosystem
Authors: Reiter Isaac , Landquist Eric
Published: September 2024

Throughout history, spies, soldiers, and others have relied on so-called {\em hand ciphers} to send encrypted messages. Since the creation of Pontifex (also known as Solitaire) by Bruce Schneier in 1999, a number of hand ciphers utilizing a standard deck of playing cards have emerged. Since there are $52! \approx 2^{225.58}$ possible ways to order a deck of cards, there are over 225 bits of entropy in a well-shuffled deck of cards. Theoretically, this can provide enough security to rival modern computer-based cryptosystems. In this paper, we describe and analyze one such playing card cipher, Card-Chameleon, created by Matthew McKague. Our analysis reveals new weaknesses in this cryptosystem, particularly the tendency for a letter to encrypt to itself. This bias makes it easy to recover the plaintext if it is encrypted into multiple different ciphertexts. We will describe variations of Card-Chameleon which significantly reduced these weaknesses but did not completely eliminate them

Rad daje pregled uloge umjetne inteligencije (AI) kao moćnog alata za analizu konkurencije u različitim industrijama. U suvremenom okruženju koje se brzo razvija i temelji na podacima, tvrtke nastoje steći konkurentsku prednost, a umjetna inteligencija se pojavila kao transformativna tehnologija. Ona pruža novi način na koji tvrtke prikupljaju, analiziraju i iskorištavaju informacije o svojim konkurentima. Rad je nastao istraživanjem tijekom izrade diplomskog rada. Analizira načine kako algoritmi pokretani umjetnom inteligencijom mogu učinkovito rudariti i analizirati nestrukturirane podatke iz različitih izvora, kao što su društveni mediji, online recenzije, novinski članci i financijska izvješća, kako bi izvukli vrijedne uvide o snagama, slabostima, tržišnom pozicioniranju konkurenata i novim trendovima. Isto tako istražuje trenutno najpoznatije softvere koje tvrtke koriste pri svojim analizama. Iskorištavanjem povijesnih podataka i korištenjem sofisticiranih algoritama strojnog učenja, organizacije mogu izraditi točne prognoze u vezi s tržišnim trendovima, preferencijama potrošača i potencijalnim konkurentskim prijetnjama. To omogućuje tvrtkama da proaktivno prilagode svoje strategije, identificiraju neiskorištene prilike i ublaže rizike u vrlo dinamičnom i konkurentnom okruženju. Korištenjem AI tehnologija, tvrtke mogu steći dublji uvid u poslovanje svojih konkurenata, donositi odluke temeljene na podacima i ostati konkurentne na tržištu koje se brzo razvija. Međutim, organizacije se moraju snalaziti u etičkim razmatranjima i izazovima povezanim s umjetnom inteligencijom kako bi osigurale odgovornu i učinkovitu implementaciju.

The article delves into key theories concerning the structuring of urban governments in the world, while highlighting noting their significant influence on the organization of urban governments in various countries, including Vietnam. The focus is on examining the stipulations of the 2013 Constitution and existing legislation related to the organization of urban government in centrally administered cities (Hanoi, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City). From this analysis, the authors propose several strategies to address urgent issues in the organization of urban government in Vietnam.
FITNESSGRAM® Friday: A Middle School Physical Activity and Fitness Intervention
Authors: Murray Tinker , Eldridge James , Silvius Pete , Silvius Erik , Squires William
Published: September 2024

Texas Senate Bill 530 (2007) mandated fitness assessment as part of the annual K-8 Physical Education (PE) curricula, yet no studies have reported interventions designed to improve and quantify individual student passing rates or individual school performance. Students (Total 2008-2010 N=1484; 729 females, 755 males; mean age = 11.85 y; mean BMI = 22.69 or > 90%-tile, overweight) were evaluated on individual FITNESSGRAM® performances in a cross-sectional analysis of 6th graders comparing baseline scores (year 1) with outcomes of a physical activity intervention in years 2 and 3. Students participated in regular PE classes (including campus wellness center activities) with a once a week focus (FITNESSGRAM® Friday) on improving mile run scores and other assessment scores. Students significantly improved FITNESSGRAM® scores following the PE intervention to levels similar to state reported averages. On average, boys improved their pushups by 32.7%, trunk lift by 17.4% and mile run times by 29.5%. Averages for girls improved by 15.4% for pushups, 6.7% for truck lift, and by 38.6% for the mile run. The percentage of boys in our study achieving all six FITNESSGRAM® tests in the HFZ was 3% at baseline and 22% following intervention. The percentage of girls meeting the criteria for the HFZ on all six FITNESSGRAM® tests was 4.5% at baseline and 20% following intervention. This study provides a potential model for fitness success in other middle school PE interventions, in Texas and the nation.
The Effects of Muscle Mass on Homocyst(e)ine Levels in Plasma and Urine

The present study was designed to examine the relationship between homocyst(e)ine (H[e]) lev-els and muscle mass. Two experimental groups each of 24 Caucasian males, one consisting of higher-muscle mass subjects (HMM) and the other of lower-muscle mass subjects (LMM) par-ticipated in this study. Muscle mass was estimated from 24-hour urine collections of creatinine (Crt). Muscle mass was 40.3 ± 15.9 kg in HMM and 37.2 ± 11.4 kg in LMM (P= 0.002). Mean plasma H(e) levels in HMM were 10.29 ± 2.9 nmol/mL, and in LMM were 10.02 ± 2.4 nmol/L (Not significant, [NS]). Urinary H(e) levels (UH[e]) were 9.95 ± 4.3 nmol/mL and 9.22 ± 2.9 nmol/mL for HMM and LMM, respectively (NS). Plasma H(e) levels correlated well with UH(e) (HMM: r= 0.58, P= 0.009; LMM: r= 0.66, P= 0.004). Muscle mass and was not correlated to either plasma H(e) or UH(e). However, in HMM trends were identified for body mass to be cor-related with UH(e) (r= 0.39, P= 0.10) and UCrt (r= 0.41, P= 0.08). Surprisingly, in HMM plasma and UCrt were only weakly correlated (r= 0.44, P= 0.06). Our results do not support a causal relationship between the amount of muscle mass and H(e) levels in plasma or urine.
Self-estimation of Body Fat is More Accurate in College-age Males Compared to Females
Authors: Hancock Halley , Jung Alan , Petrella John
Published: September 2024

Objective: To determine the effect of gender on the ability to accurately estimate one’s own body fat percentage. Participants: Fifty-five college-age males and 99 college-age females Methods: Participants estimated their own body fat percent before having their body composition measured using a BOD POD. Participants also completed a modified Social Physique Anxiety Scale (SPAS). Results: Estimated body fat was significantly lower compared to measured body fat percent in females (26.8±5.6% vs. 30.2±7.0%, p<0.001) but not in males (16.8±6.8% vs. 18.1±8.3%, p=0.09). The mean difference between estimated and measured body fat was significantly higher for females compared to males (p<0.001). There was a moderate, significant correlation found between measured body fat percent and SPAS score for males (r=0.331, p=0.014) and females (r=.427, p<0.001). Conclusions: Males estimated their body fat percent more accurately than females. Despite these findings, 62% of males and 76% of females underestimated their body fat.
Aberrant FGF signaling promotes granule neuron precursor expansion in SHH subgroup infantile medulloblastoma

Published: September 2024

Mutations in Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway genes, e.g.
Suppressor of Fused
(SUFU), drive granule neuron precursors (GNP) to form medulloblastomas (MB
SHH
). However, how different molecular lesions in the Shh pathway drive transformation is frequently unclear, and SUFU mutations in the cerebellum seem distinct. In this study, we show that fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) signaling is integral for many infantile MB
SHH
cases and that FGF5 expression is uniquely upregulated in infantile MB
SHH
tumors. Similarly, mice lacking SUFU (Sufu-cKO), ectopically express FGF5 specifically along the secondary fissure where GNPs harbor preneoplastic lesions and show that FGFR signaling is also ectopically activated in this region. Treatment with an FGFR antagonist rescues the severe GNP hyperplasia and restores cerebellar architecture. Thus, direct inhibition of FGF signaling may be a promising and novel therapeutic candidate for infantile MB

AVN: A Deep Learning Approach for the Analysis of Birdsong
Authors: Koch Therese MI , Marks Ethan S , Roberts Todd F
Published: September 2024

Deep learning tools for behavior analysis have enabled important new insights and discoveries in neuroscience. Yet, they often compromise interpretability and generalizability for performance, making it difficult to quantitively compare phenotypes across datasets and research groups. We developed a novel deep learning-based behavior analysis pipeline,
Avian Vocalization Network
(AVN), for the learned vocalizations of the most extensively studied vocal learning model species – the zebra finch. AVN annotates songs with high accuracy across multiple animal colonies without the need for any additional training data and generates a comprehensive set of interpretable features to describe the syntax, timing, and acoustic properties of song. We use this feature set to compare song phenotypes across multiple research groups and experiments, and to predict a bird’s stage in song development. Additionally, we have developed a novel method to measure song imitation that requires no additional training data for new comparisons or recording environments, and outperforms existing similarity scoring methods in its sensitivity and agreement with expert human judgements of song similarity. These tools are available through the open-source AVN python package and graphical application, which makes them accessible to researchers without any prior coding experience. Altogether, this behavior analysis toolkit stands to facilitate and accelerate the study of vocal behavior by enabling a standardized mapping of phenotypes and learning outcomes, thus helping scientists better link behavior to the underlying neural processes.

Processing pathways between sensory and default mode network (DMN) regions support recognition, navigation, and memory but their organisation is not well understood. We show that functional subdivisions of visual cortex and DMN sit at opposing ends of parallel streams of information processing that support visually-mediated semantic and spatial cognition, providing convergent evidence from univariate and multivariate task responses, intrinsic functional and structural connectivity. Participants learned virtual environments consisting of buildings populated with objects, drawn from either a single semantic category or multiple categories. Later, they made semantic and spatial context decisions about these objects and buildings during functional magnetic resonance imaging. A lateral ventral occipital to frontotemporal DMN pathway was primarily engaged by semantic judgements, while a medial visual to medial temporal DMN pathway supported spatial context judgements. These pathways had distinctive locations in functional connectivity space: the semantic pathway was both further from unimodal systems and more balanced between visual and auditory-motor regions compared with the spatial pathway. When semantic and spatial context information could be integrated (in buildings containing objects from a single category), regions at the intersection of these pathways responded, suggesting that parallel processing streams interact at multiple levels of the cortical hierarchy to produce coherent memory-guided cognition.
