On the Coherence of Strict Finitism
Authors: Alesander Auke 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Strict finitism is the position that only those natural numbers exist that we can represent in practice. Michael Dummett, in a paper called Wang's Paradox, famously tried to show that strict finitism is an incoherent position. By using the Sorites paradox, he claimed that certain predicates the strict finitist is committed to are incoherent. More recently, Ofra Magidor objected to Dummett's claims, arguing that Dummett fails to show the incoherence of strict finitism. In this paper, I shall investigate whether Magidor is successful in preventing Dummett from proving the incoherence of strict finitism. Though not all the counterarguments Magidor presents are successful, she does in the end manage to corner Dummett. There remains an opportunity for Dummett to insist on the incoherence of strict finitism, but this is a very small opening. The final conclusion of this paper is that Dummett cannot logically prove the incoherence of strict finitism, even though a limited chance for success remains.
Beyond A-Theory and the Block Universe: A non-circular derivation of "before", change, and the local arrow of time
Authors: Saudek Daniel 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This article proposes a "third way" in the philosophy of time beyond A-theory and the block universe, in which time is understood as a purely local phenomenon. It does so by starting with simple metaphysical assumptions about substances and their properties. Based on these assumptions, the notions of "before", of change, and of time as local quantification of change can be derived non-circularly, i.e. without invoking temporal concepts. I then proceed to prove the irreversibility of local time by showing that the propositional content of the local past cannot be changed, since this would imply a contradiction, whereas that of the future can. Time's familiar asymmetric character, in particular the difference between the fixed past and the open or \branching" future, is therefore a non-illusory but purely local phenomenon. Such a model requires no past-present-future distinction valid for the entire cosmos, and is therefore consistent with special and general relativity.
The Determinable-Based Account of Metaphysical Indeterminacy and Vague Identity
Authors: Bĕlohrad Radim 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This paper focuses on Jessica Wilson's determinable-based account of metaphysical indeterminacy and its relationship to the concept of vague identity. The determinable-based account comprises a distinction between meta-level and object-level accounts of metaphysical indeterminacy. I first argue that the distinction cannot be clearly applied to some theories. In particular, I argue that even though Wilson categorizes the constitution account of metaphysical indeterminacy as a meta-level account, from one perspective it can be defensibly regarded as an object-level account, because it is bound to posit genuinely indeterminate states of affairs and provides an explanation of boundary indeterminacy that is structurally analogous to the explanation provided by Wilson's object-level account. This interim conclusion is important, because it has been argued that the constitution account, when applied to some more complex types of boundary indeterminacy, cannot avoid commitment to vague identity, in spite of the declarations of some of its proponents. The ultimate goal of this paper is to argue that, contrary to Wilson's claims, the determinable-based account must embrace vague identity too.
Why Moral Epistemology is Not Just Epistemology Applied to Moral Beliefs
Authors: Ravish Sushruth , Joshi Chaitanya 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The current discourse on moral epistemology (ME), has hardly paid any attention to the question concerning the demarcation of the domain of ME within epistemology. Neither is the subject matter of ME considered unique, nor is the methodology adopted in its investigations considered distinct. We attempt to show in this paper that this omission does not restrict itself to a mere taxonomical oversight but rather leads to certain deeper conceptual concerns. We argue that a casual and porous understanding of the subject matter of ME is the result of conflating moral beliefs and justification with non-moral beliefs and justification. If ME doesn't merit a clear demarcation within epistemology, then the very legitimacy of ME is brought under a cloud, thereby threatening the distinction between ethics and epistemology. We believe G. E Moore foresaw this predicament and our interpretation of his work could offer a possible solution.
Construction of special soliton solutions to the stochastic Riccati equation

Published: September 2022

Abstract
A scheme for the analytical stochastization of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is presented in this article. Using Itô calculus, an ODE is transformed into a stochastic differential equation (SDE) in such a way that the analytical solutions of the obtained equation can be constructed. Furthermore, the constructed stochastic trajectories remain bounded in the same interval as the deterministic solutions. The proposed approach is in a stark contrast to methods based on the randomization of solution trajectories and is not focused on the analysis of martingales. This article extends the theory of Itô calculus by directly implementing it into analytical schemes for the solution of differential equations based on the generalized operator of differentiation. The efficacy of the presented analytical stochastization techniques is demonstrated by deriving stochastic soliton solutions to the Riccati differential equation. The presented semi-analytical stochastization scheme is relevant for the investigation of the global dynamics of different biological and biomedical processes where the variation interval of the stochastic solution is predetermined by the rationale of the model.
FromSer Focalizadorand Contrast to the Presuppositional [Verb+Ser+X] Construction in Spanish
Authors: Moya-Chaves Deyanira Sindy 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThis study uses a corpus of conversational speech to describe a structure in Spanish previously known asSer Focalizador(‘Focalizing Be’, hereafter [Verb+Ser+X]). In this structure, the verbser‘to be’ appears after the main verb of the clause. Its function has traditionally been described as indicating what comes after in the sentence as the marked focus. However, by examining how the [Verb+Ser+X] is used in talk-in-interaction it is found that a more particular construction has the function of marking counter-argumentation – i.e., canceling some background inference (presupposition or implicature) – by making the second member of a contrastive pair more clearly contrastive, and establishing a structural distinction which has the pragmatic and contextualeffectof contrast. I call this particular construction presupposition canceling [(NEGclause)(pero ’but’)Verb+Ser+X]. The description provided here is also founded on identifying the linguistic contexts that favor the use of the [Verb+Ser+X], by treating it as a variant of the simple clause with a complement whereserwas absent in the verbal phrase, but could have been present. The analysis of variation provides evidence for the presuppositional [Verb+Ser+X] to be variably conditioned by a propositional X, and by the co-occurrence of previous negation and of the adversative conjunctionpero‘but’. The analysis also offers an operationalization of contrast in conversational data, as well as a definition of the variable context for a pragmatic construction such as the [Verb+Ser+X].
The Syntactic and Discourse Properties of Second Person Singular Forms of Address inPaisaSpanish

Published: September 2022

AbstractIn this study we examine the linguistic complexity and lexical properties of the discourse associated with second person singular forms of address (2PS) in the Spanish spoken in Medellín, Colombia. This Spanish variety exhibits the use of a tripartite system of 2PS, in whichvoseo,tuteo, andustedeoare used, and sometimes interchanged, according to sociopragmatic factors. By means of a discourse completion task (DCT), 672 responses were collected from 38 informants. Data was parsed and tagged using UDPipe to train an annotation Spanish model. Syntactic and lexical properties were extracted automatically in Python. Results revealed the syntactic properties and the existence of collocations significantly associated with each 2PS. The discourse associated withvosdiffers in terms of the predicate structure, DCT response length, pragmatic function, and use of colloquial speech markers. Results of this work shed further light on the variable use of 2PS in this intriguing Spanish dialect.
Was it a Syro-Ephraimite War?
Authors: Shtaimetz Yaniv 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
2Kings 16:5 describes a siege, laid by Rezin king of Aram-Damascus and Peqah son of Remalia king of Israel, on the Judean capital Jerusalem in the days of Ahaz son of Jotham king of Judah. This siege is known in the research literature as the ›Syro-Ephraimite war‹, named so after the two allies who joined forces against Judah: Aram-Damascus, located in Syria, and Israel, whose power base is traditionally identified with the central hill country of Mount Ephraim. The aim of this short paper is to question the appropriateness of the name given to this war and specifically the power structure it represents. It does so by examining regional power relations and the local Israelite power structure at the time, as well as relevant terminological conventions. This examination sheds new light on Israel’s power base at the time, and produces two more suitable options for naming this biblical event, by identifying the real political power structure and by bringing Judah into the picture.

šiḥ(h)et in Genesis 38,9
Authors: Tropper Josef 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
According to the traditional understanding of Genesis 38:9, whenever Onan would perform the duties of Levirate marriage with Tamar, he would let his sperm »be ruined.« The central verbal form reads: wešiḥ(h)et. In the present contribution this translation is called into question. It will be argued that wešiḥ(h)et here is not to be derived from √šḥt
(1) »to ruin,« but from a different root, namely √šḥt
2 »to let flow, to spurt« (corresponding to the Akkadian šaḫātu »to flow [away], to rinse, to wash«). The text would therefore simply state that Onan ejaculated his sperm onto the ground so as not to impregnate Tamar (coitus interruptus). Should this interpretation be correct, the far-reaching reception history of the text, including the prohibition of any form of »Onanism,« would have to be reassessed.
Subacute thyroiditis post viral vector vaccine for COVID-19
Authors: Casey Caoimhe , Higgins Tom 
Published: September 2022

Summary
Subacute thyroiditis is an inflammatory disorder of the thyroid gland that has previously been described following viral illnesses and occasionally post vaccination such as influenza vaccine. 2021 was a revolutionary year for the development of SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations with multiple different vaccines now available. There are increasing numbers of case reports of thyroiditis following these vaccinations. We report a case of a 50-year-old female who developed subacute thyroiditis 6 days post ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine (AZD1222 produced by AstraZeneca Vaxzevria). The initial thyrotoxic phase was followed by overt hypothyroidism. This resolved spontaneously within 5 months without levothyroxine replacement. We hope that our case will add to the growing literature of cases of thyroiditis occurring after multiple different types of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and create awareness of this rare but treatable adverse effect. We also review the literature on the proposed mechanisms behind this adverse effect.

Learning points

Subacute thyroiditis is an inflammatory disorder of the thyroid gland that can occur after a viral illness or vaccination against certain infections.

Subacute thyroiditis is a rare adverse effect that has been reported to occur after different types of SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations.

Subacute thyroiditis post vaccination is relatively straightforward to manage, with some patients requiring non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and beta-blockers, while more severe cases may require corticosteroid therapy. This adverse effect should not dissuade vaccination use at a population level.

There are many postulated mechanisms for the development of subacute thyroiditis following vaccination including the presence of the ACE-2 receptor for SARS-CoV-2 on the thyroid gland, an inflammatory/immune response as is seen in COVID-19 infection itself and molecular mimicry between SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and healthy thyroid antigen.
Combined SPINK1 mutations induce early-onset severe chronic pancreatitis in a child with severe obesity
Authors: Abass Maha Khalil , Al Shamsi Aisha , Jan Iftikhar , Masalawala Mohammed Suhail Yasin , Deeb Asma 
Published: September 2022

Summary
The most frequent causes of pancreatitis classically have been known to be gallstones or alcohol. However, genetics can also play a key role in predisposing patients to both chronic and acute pancreatitis. The serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK 1) gene is known to be strongly associated with pancreatitis. Patients with these underlying genetic mutations can have severe diseases with a high morbidity rate and frequent hospitalization. We report an Arab girl who presented with acute pancreatitis at the age of 7 years progressing to recurrent chronic pancreatitis over a few years. She had severe obesity from the age of 4 years and developed type 2 diabetes at the age of 12. She had a normal biliary system anatomy. Genetic analysis showed that she had combined heterozygous mutations in the SPINK1 gene (SPINK1, c.101A>G p.(Asn34Ser) and SPINK1, c.56-37T>C). Her parents were first-degree cousins, but neither had obesity. Mother was detected to have the same mutations. She had type 2 diabetes but never presented with pancreatitis. This case is the first to be reported from the Arab region with these combined mutations leading to recurrent chronic pancreatitis. It illustrates the importance of diagnosing the underlying genetic mutation in the absence of other known causes of pancreatitis. Considering the absence of pancreatitis history in the mother who did not have obesity but harboured the same mutations, we point out that severe obesity might be a triggering factor of pancreatitis in the presence of the mutations in SPINK1 gene in this child. While this is not an assumption from a single patient, we show that not all carriers of this mutation develop the disease even within the same family. Triggering factors like severe obesity might have a role in developing the disease.

Learning points

Acute recurrent pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis are uncommon in children but might be underdiagnosed.

Biliary tract anomalies and dyslipidaemias are known causative factors for pancreatitis, but pancreatitis can be seen in children with intact biliary system.

Genetic diagnosis should be sought in children with pancreatitis in the absence of known underlying predisposing factors.

SPINK1 mutations can predispose to an early-onset severe recurrent pancreatitis and acute pancreatitis.

Já para o uso de drogas, 101 (49,8%) adolescentes relataram usar ao menos uma droga lícita ou ilegal. O álcool foi a droga mais usada, total de 88 estudantes. Os adolescentes que relatam uso de substâncias psicoativas no último mês apresentaram menor escore de Qualidade de Vida em nossos domínios físico (p<0,05), psicológico (p<0,05) e ambiental (p<0,05).
Conclusão: o consumo de substâncias lícitas e ilícitas mostrou-se como um ponto de grande importância para a qualidade de vida dos adolescentes de ancestralidade do continente africano e para a percepção de aspectos relacionados ao contexto que estão inseridos.
Crop-land suitability analysis using geographic information system and remote sensing

Published: September 2022

AbstractFood, water, and energy scarcity threaten India's future, and they must be addressed first. To meet the country's ever-increasing population needs, agricultural productivity must be expanded. For the crop-land suitability, we have studied an area of about 6,539 km2 in Vizianagaram district. The majority of the land is used for paddy agriculture (Kharif). The crop-land suitability has been evaluated based on the different parameters identified in that study area. “Remote sensing (RS)” and “geographic information system (GIS)” were combined for the crop-land suitability using nine parameters. The slope, elevation, rainfall, soil texture, lithology, groundwater, land use–land cover (LULC), TWI, and land surface temperature are the primary criteria used to determine the crop-land suitability in the Vizianagaram district (AP). Thematic maps were created using Landsat 8 images and SRTM DEM images from USGS Earth Explorer. Based on these maps and the influence of these parameters, we may assign weights to the parameters and then rank them, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) allowing us to identify which area is more suitable for good crop productivity and which is not. In this study, the soils are divided into four categories: low suitability, moderate suitability, high suitability, and extremely high suitability. The suitability index is found to be in the range of 0–55.2%, which indicates the lack of outstanding agricultural lands in the sudy region.
