Graded genericity
Authors: Lee Junhyo , Nguyen Anthony 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Any adequate semantics of generic sentences (e.g., “Philosophers evaluate arguments”) must accommodate both what we call the positive data and the negative data. The positive data consists of observations about what felicitous interpretations of generic sentences are available. Conversely, the negative data consists of observations about which interpretations of generic sentences are unavailable. Nguyen argues that only his pragmatic neo-Gricean account and Sterken’s indexical account can accommodate the positive data. Lee and Nguyen have advanced the debate by arguing that the negative data is a problem for both Nguyen’s and Sterken’s accounts; these two accounts seem to incorrectly predict that generics have felicitous interpretations that they, in fact, fail to have. In this paper, we advance this debate—and, more generally, the task of developing an adequate formal semantics of generics—by arguing that a neglected class of theories are compatible with both the positive data and the negative data. Specifically, we argue that treating the generic operator GEN as a relative gradable expression with a positive, upper- and lower- bounded scale helps accommodate the positive data and the negative data. While developing this view, we show how several previously developed semantics of generics may systematically accommodate both sets of data. One broad contribution of this paper is to show that, while they generate important desiderata, the positive and negative data cannot determine a unique semantics for generics. A further contribution of this paper is to highlight previously unnoted ways in which degree semantics may inform semantic theories of generic meaning.
Let sleeping dogs lie: stereotype completion and the Phenomenology of category recognition
Authors: Ashby Brandon James 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Perceptual liberals have offered numerous arguments claiming to show that kind-representing perceptual phenomenology exists, which raises questions about what it is like to perceive objects as belonging to different kinds. Yet almost no effort has been made to answer these questions. This quietism invites the concern that liberalism may be a defunct research program: unable to answer the questions raised by its own development. Building on work by P.F. Strawson, a recent surge of empirical research, and theoretical considerations from the Helmholtzian paradigm of perceptual psychology, I argue that perceptual experience can complete the stereotypical features, behaviors, and affordances of kinds of objects even when only some of those features/behaviors/affordances are “on display”, just as it can complete the shape of a cat behind a picket fence in amodal completion. The phenomenal character of high-level kind perception, I argue, is grounded in stereotype completion.
Nothing to it?: generalized identity and zero-grounding
Authors: Leech Jessica 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to make some headway in understanding the notion of zero-grounding. The account of grounding in terms of generalized identity, proposed by Correia and Skiles (2019), is employed to clarify issues of ground and zero-ground. I discuss some options for accommodating zero-grounding. According to one option, we slide dangerously close to violating the irreflexivity of ground. According to another option, zero-grounding leads to a worrying kind of overdetermination. A third option offers a way out, but a challenge remains of how best to make sense of it. I further contend that these arguments broaden to concern any notion of grounding according to which groundees are “nothing over and above” their grounds. Ultimately, the aim of this paper is exploratory. It lays out some of the different options and challenges that face the grounding theorist who wants to make sense of zero-grounding.
Differential root zone secretions and the role of root border cells in rhizosphere manipulation
Authors: Kranawetter Clayton , Sumner Lloyd W. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Root tissues are broadly divided into mature tissue, elongation zone (developing tissue), root tip, and border cells. While each zone contributes individually to the overall root secretion profile, border cells are emphasized in this review due to their specialized secretory functions. Border cells are often overlooked in plant root focused studies, thus excluding an important component of root functionality. Border cells are a specialized cell type surrounding the root apical meristematic region of most plant species, with the exception of the Brassicaceae family that possess border-like cells. Both cell types share the commonality of complete detachment from the root tip and reliance on internal starch reserves to perform metabolic processes. However, border cells release from the root tip as single/individual cells whereas border-like cells separate as cohesive sheets. Furthermore, border cells, but not border-like cells, secrete a complex matrix consisting of mucilage, proteins, DNA, and metabolites. Many of these secreted compounds are bioactive (e.g. secreted mucilage supports microbial growth and DNA physically entangles pathogens) thus mediating symbiosis and pathogen defense. We are interested in metabolites secreted from individual root regions, with a heavy emphasis on those specifically arising from border cells. Border cell metabolite secretion is in need of further investigation, as current research indicates they secrete symbiosis-inducing, allelopathic, and defense oriented metabolites. This review will summarize current literature regarding metabolite secretions by specific root cell types and regions. In particular, it will focus on border cell contributions to the rhizosphere chemistry relative to other root tissue types.

Narrow but underdetermined: interpretational issues considering the analysis of electoral pledges
Authors: Nieminen Sakari , Ylisalo Juha 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The study of electoral pledges has become an increasingly influential approach to parties’ programmatic commitments and their consequences. Researchers identify specific policies to which parties commit themselves in their electoral campaigns and examine whether these policies have subsequently been enacted. This approach relies on largely standardized methods and definitions, a central aim being the comparability of the results obtained in different contexts. Our article highlights methodological challenges related to the identification of pledges. Specifically, we are concerned with the narrow understanding of the concept of electoral pledge that is applied in several case studies, whereby a pledge is defined as a clear commitment to an action or an outcome whose occurrence can be verified. This operationalization appears to minimize discretion with respect to the contents of the pledges that parties have made, on one hand, and whether parties have carried out their pledges, on the other. However, this narrow understanding of electoral pledges is not as straightforward and simple as it appears. Building on the linguistic underdeterminacy thesis and using examples from a real coding process, we highlight several ways in which even this narrow operationalization leaves room for interpretation on behalf of researchers. Specifically, coders may attach differing weights to parts of a statement, concepts may have non-obvious meanings, and some words may mean different things to different audiences. We conclude that from the point of view of transparency, the field would benefit from observing the linguistic nature of electoral pledges in greater detail.
Integers represented by Lucas sequences
Authors: Hajdu Lajos , Tijdeman Rob 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In this paper, we study the sets of integers which are n-th terms of Lucas sequences. We establish lower- and upper bounds for the size of these sets. These bounds are sharp for n sufficiently large. We also develop bounds on the growth order of the terms of Lucas sequences that are independent of the parameters of the sequence, which is a new feature.
Assessing psychological capital: Construction and validation of the psychological capital inventory (PSI-16) using automated item selection
Authors: Lorenz Timo 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This article in the journal “Gruppe. Interaktion. Organisation. (GIO)” explores the construct of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) within the framework of Positive Organizational Behavior, focusing on its components—hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism—and their impact on personal and organizational outcomes. Utilizing machine learning meta-heuristic techniques, the study developed the Psychological Capital Inventory (PSI-16) to address limitations in existing measures. Two samples (N = 297 and N = 272) were analyzed to construct and validate the PSI-16 and its nomological network, encompassing constructs like life satisfaction, gratitude, well-being, self-esteem, and perceived social support. Results indicated strong psychometric properties for PSI-16, with statistically significant positive correlations between PsyCap and life satisfaction, well-being, and adaptive personality traits, and negative correlations with psychological distress and perceived stress. The PSI-16 offers a robust tool for assessing PsyCap, enhancing theoretical understanding and practical applications in organizational and psychological contexts. Future research should further validate the PSI-16 across diverse cultures and settings.

Hybride Männlichkeiten praxeologisch analysiert: Väter als sorgende Elternteile in der frühen Phase von Elternschaft
Authors: Mauerer Gerlinde 
Published: February 2025

Zusammenfassung
Im Beitrag wird das theoretische Konzept hybrider Männlichkeiten mit Fokus auf Väter als sorgende Elternteile praxeologisch untersucht. Basierend auf 42 Paarinterviews (2021–2022, n = 42) analysieren wir väterliche Handlungspraxen, Motivationen von Vätern und Paaren, sowie den elterlichen Austausch von Wissen und die Bildung von Kompetenzen in der Kleinkindversorgung. Es wurden Eltern in Österreich interviewt, die jeweils mindestens fünf Monate lang Kinderbetreuungsgeld (KBG) bezogen haben. In der praxeologischen Analyse fokussieren wir auf Väter, da die Betreuung von Kleinkindern bis vor wenigen Dekaden nicht in normativen Konstruktionen von Männlichkeiten enthalten war. Es wird gefragt, wie Väter Handlungspraxen und Sorgetätigkeiten auf der Basis der Inanspruchnahme von KBG entwickeln. In der Auswertung der empirischen Daten fokussierten wir in einer themenspezifischen Inhaltsanalyse, angeleitet durch die semi-strukturierten Leifadenfragen und – basierend auf einbezogenen Vorerkenntnissen – in der Codeerstellung der Informed Grounded Theory folgend, auf Alltagshandlungen in der väterlichen Betreuung und Versorgung von Kleinkindern. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Vätern die Übernahme und Verkörperung von Sorgeaufgaben gelingt, sie jedoch in ihren langfristigen Vereinbarungen von Kinderbetreuung und Erwerbsarbeit – insbesondere am Arbeitsplatz – weiter normativen Konstruktionen von Männlichkeiten entsprechen. Die Übernahme von väterlicher Verantwortung und Präsenz in der Familie wird bislang individualisiert betrachtet und vorwiegend als Unterstützung für Partnerinnen begriffen. Die erstellte Typologie von Vaterschaft verdeutlicht Zusammenhänge zwischen der Motivation der Väter und Paare, den Zielsetzungen der Paare und einer nachhaltigen väterlichen Übernahme von sorgenden Praxen. Insbesondere Väter, deren Handlungsmotivation durch geschlechtergerechte Zielsetzungen geleitet war, entwickelten nachhaltige sorgende Praxen in den Bereichen Ernährung, Haushaltsarbeit und in der Übernahme emotionaler und kognitiver Aufgaben in der Kleinkindversorgung.
Effect of Al and N Contents on the Characteristics of Non-metallic Inclusions and Precipitation Behaviors in Unidirectionally Solidified Fe-Mn-C-Al TWIP Alloys
Authors: Fan Yuewen , Hu Xiaojun , Matsuura Hiroyuki 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Non-metallic inclusions have an important influence on the performance of steel. Especially, the precipitation control of inclusions is particularly significant during the solidification process in high Mn and Al TWIP steel. Regulatory alloy components as one of the effective methods, it was investigated that the effect of Al and N contents on the characteristics of non-metallic inclusions and its precipitation behaviors in unidirectionally solidified Fe-Mn-C-Al TWIP alloys. The results showed that the increase of initial Al and N concentration promoted their segregation each other, and the AlN particle size was also increased. Thermodynamic analysis of the precipitation of AlN and AlON revealed that the effect of N content on the precipitation of AlN was greater than that of Al content which showed the critical f
s to initiate inclusion precipitation decrease. On the contrary, the effect of Al content on the precipitation of AlON was greater. Under the condition where the oxygen content was basically similar, the increase of Al content made the primary bonding with O atoms reducing a
O in the melt, and the change of N content became the main factor influencing AlN precipitation.

Authors: Lwin Naychi , Suursalmi Piia , Yong Sophia , Kabir Saleha , Jones Matthew I , Savis Alexandra , Qureshi Shakeel A , Rosenthal Eric 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Purpose of Review
To provide an overview of fluoroscopy-free transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) closure and introduce a simplified approach that avoids pulmonary vein instrumentation.

Recent Findings
Since the first reported fluoroscopy-free ASD closure 24 years ago, only a few small series have described this technique. We present a simplified and less cumbersome approach to encourage wider adoption of the fluoroscopy-free method to suitable ASD anatomy.

Results
Fluoroscopy free ASD closure was performed in 9 patients using the conventional technique (Group 1) and 23 patients using our simplified approach of direct placement of the device into the defect (Group 2). Median age and weight were 28 years, 53 kg in Group 1 (range: 5–52 years, 22–88 kg) and 36 years, 66 kg in Group 2 (range: 4–76 years, 16–115 kg). Devices were successfully implanted in all patients, with a median device size of 21 mm (Group 1: 9–36 mm, Group 2: 10–33 mm). Procedural time was 47 min for Group 1 and 35 min for Group 2 (p = 0.09). Length of hospital stay was similar in both groups. There were no acute or long-term complications and no need for reintervention.

Summary
Transcatheter ASD closure without the use of fluoroscopy using the simplified approach is safe and effective, offers a shorter procedure duration and minimises instrumentation within the left atrium and pulmonary veins. Patient selection is key and with greater experience, this procedure may be applicable to a wider selection of ASD anatomy.

Abstract
Endometrial carcinoma, the most common malignancy of the female genital tract, remains challenging to treat despite early-stage dominance. Surgical interventions and irradiation are insufficient for advanced endometrial cancer. Our aim was to investigate to explore the in vitro cytotoxicity and apoptotic effects of boric acid (BA) on endometrial adenocarcinoma cell lines (Ishikawa and HEC-1B cell lines), providing experimental evidence for the potential application of boric acid as an anticancer drug. Time- and dose-dependent cell viability was determined with the XTT cell proliferation test. Differences in mRNA levels were determined by RT-PCR using cDNAs and SYBR green assay. Colony formation and the effect of BA on wound healing were evaluated. Immunocytochemistry and TUNEL tests were performed to evaluate apoptosis. BA increased the expression of Caspase 3 and Bax in HEC-1B and Ischikawa cell lines. It was determined that BA significantly decreased the number of colonies in both cell lines (p < 0.05). In HEC-1B and Ishikawa cell lines, there was an increase in cell migration in the control group at 16 and 24 h. The apoptotic index was higher in the BA group, although it was not statistically significant. According to immunohistochemistry results, Caspase 3 and Bax expression in HEC-1B and Ishikawa cell lines were statistically increased in BA group. The expression of Bcl-2 was decreased statistically with BA treatment in both cell lines (p = 0.0001). BA treatment inhibited cell migration and colony formation, which are important for carcinogenesis, in endometrial adenocarcinoma cell lines. This inhibition was shown to occur through the apoptotic pathway.
Trauma and related measures one year after the 2023 earthquakes in Türkiye: post-traumatic stress, post-traumatic growth, spiritual well-being, and self-compassion

Abstract
The 7.7- and 7.6-magnitude earthquakes that struck Türkiye on 6 February 2023 generated considerable material and moral damage. Traumas, such as earthquakes, often lead to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in individuals; however, trauma may have the effect of transforming individuals in a positive sense, promoting post-traumatic growth (PTG). Although it is not possible to prevent trauma, reducing the adverse effects of trauma and focusing on positive opportunities and outcomes may help individuals to progress in more healthy ways. This study focused on the relationship between PTSD and PTG among earthquake survivors. It examined the potential mediating roles of self-compassion and spiritual well-being and their effects on PTG. Data were obtained from 390 survivors one year after the earthquake. Participants completed scales assessing PTSD (earthquake-related), PTG, self-compassion, and spiritual well-being. The results indicated that PTSD symptoms often persisted one year after earthquake-related trauma. Individuals with high PTSD scores also had high PTG scores. Self-compassion and spiritual well-being in coping with traumatic events mediated the relationship between PTSD and PTG. Thus, while the adverse psychological effects of the earthquake often persisted a year later, high levels of self-compassion and spiritual well-being after trauma appeared to exert positive effects and reduce PTSD. The findings may help guide future efforts of mental health professionals to reduce the traumatic effects of earthquakes.
Is DLT the solution for current supply chain problems? Bridging the gap between EDI and DLT
Authors: Finke Christian , Schumann Matthias 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Centrally administrated systems have historically facilitated inter-organizational data exchange in supply chains (SC), relying on the message standard electronic data interchange (EDI). However, the current use of EDI fails to meet information needs, as point-to-point interfaces complicate information sharing among multiple partners and batch processing lacks real-time capabilities. This results in information asymmetries, leading to inefficiencies. Distributed ledger technology (DLT), which offers decentralized communication and data storage, presents a potential solution. In this paper, we present a systematic literature review comparing the centralized architectures utilizing EDI applications with the decentralized architecture of DLT within SCs. We identified the limitations of the current systems and assessed whether DLT offers a solution. The findings show that DLT enhances real-time data exchange, automation potential, and transparency, but also faces shortcomings. Integrating EDI with DLT offers a promising approach to leverage synergies and address the weaknesses of both technologies, e.g., lacking standards for DLT.
The link between Mitochondria and Sarcopenia
Authors: Kamarulzaman Nurul Tihani , Makpol Suzana 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Sarcopenia, a widespread condition, is characterized by a variety of factors influencing its development. The causes of sarcopenia differ depending on the age of the individual. It is defined as the combination of decreased muscle mass and impaired muscle function, primarily observed in association with ageing. As people age from 20 to 80 years old, there is an approximate 30% reduction in muscle mass and a 20% decline in cross-sectional area. This decline is attributed to a decrease in the size and number of muscle fibres. The regression of muscle mass and strength increases the risk of fractures, frailty, reduced quality of life, and loss of independence. Muscle cells, fibres, and tissues shrink, resulting in diminished muscle power, volume, and strength in major muscle groups. One prominent theory of cellular ageing posits a strong positive relationship between age and oxidative damage. Heightened oxidative stress leads to early-onset sarcopenia, characterized by neuromuscular innervation breakdown, muscle atrophy, and dysfunctional mitochondrial muscles. Ageing muscles generate more reactive oxygen species (ROS), and experience decreased oxygen consumption and ATP synthesis compared to younger muscles. Additionally, changes in mitochondrial protein interactions, cristae structure, and networks may contribute to ADP insensitivity, which ultimately leads to sarcopenia. Within this framework, this review provides a comprehensive summary of our current understanding of the role of mitochondria in sarcopenia and other muscle degenerative diseases, highlighting the crucial need for further research in these areas.
