description: While much of the bikeshare boom has centered around larger cities, smaller, lower-density, and even some rural communities have also implemented bikeshare systems successfully. Using a bikeshare dataset of more than 14,000 trips that cover the period from July 2018 to December 2021 for both pedal and e-bikes, this paper describes the structure and performance of ROAM NRV, a bikeshare system in Montgomery County, Virginia—which is home to Virginia Tech university and has many areas classified as rural. The paper presents bikeshare users’ travel behaviors and usage trends (including during the COVID-19 pandemic). Moreover, compares the usage of the system’s pedal bicycles to electric bicycles (e-bikes) that were introduced in 2021. Findings indicated that residents of Blacksburg and Christiansburg regularly use and benefit from bikeshare much like their urban counterparts do. Ridership was noted to likely be more common among university affiliates with trips more likely to start/end on or around campus due to the number of stations located within campus grounds. Trail usage was also high among bikeshare users due to the extensive trail network within and between the towns. As rural bikeshare users tend to travel greater distances and encounter more varying terrains throughout their commutes, considering e-bikes instead of pedal bike systems should increase the utilization of such mobility systems in rural areas. When electric assist bicycles were first introduced to the system, initially replacing some and then all former pedal bicycles, utilization increased significantly compared to pedal bike usage.

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit untersucht den Zusammenhang der Game Elemente "Zeitdruck" und "Belohnung" mit der Gruppendynamik und der Beteiligung von Studierenden im Bildungskontext. Mithilfe einer qualitativen Forschungsmethode, einschliesslich Beobachtungen und Interviews innerhalb eines experimentell gestalteten Workshops, wurden die Auswirkungen dieser Game Elemente auf die Interaktionen und das Engagement der Studierenden in Gruppenarbeitssituationen analysiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Game Element "Zeitdruck" keinen signifikanten Zusammenhang mit Veränderungen in der Gruppendynamik oder Beteiligung aufweist. Im Gegensatz dazu förderte das Element "Belohnung" eine Verbesserung der Zusammenarbeit und eine Intensivierung des Wissensaustausches, was auf die positive Rolle von motivierenden Anreizen in Lernumgebungen hindeutet. Diese Erkenntnisse tragen dazu bei, die Effektivität von Gamificationstrategien in pädagogischen Settings zu optimieren und bieten wertvolle Einblicke für die Gestaltung zukünftiger Bildungsprogramme.
Le “nuove guerre” della globalizzazione

Subjects: New War; globalization; sovereignty; stability; borders/frontiers

description: In speeches on global security is recurring the idea that the «new wars» are the expression of a type of organized vio- lence that differs substantially from armed conflicts typical of previous eras. According to several authors, the factors which could bring in an overall perspective this diversified set of phenomena is globalization: the «new wars» are, namely, an integral part of the transformation of modernity that are changing the scale of the organization of human society. From this point of view, the new forms of organized violence are none other than a symptom of much more profound economic and political changes. Since, in particular, that globalization undermines the independence and territorial sovereignty of states and it resizes their power and authority, it gives way, when circumstances permit, to the birth and the affirmation of new centers of power, which would compete with a frame- work state marked by a weak central government.The thesis of this article is that, instead, the aims of the «wars of globali- zation» are not substantially changed compared to the past, inasmuch the ideology and geopolitical reasons attributable to the needs of a specific political community are more im- portant than ever.

description: Guettarda (Rubiaceae) is a genus known for its diverse range of bioactive compounds, with demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Guettarda uruguensis Cham. & Schltdl., commonly known as ‘jasmim uruguaio’ or ‘veludinho,’ is a native species of the Atlantic Forest that get interested in its potential therapeutic applications. In this study, we evaluated the phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the crude ethanol extract obtained from G. uruguensis leaves (EBGF) and fractions, as well as the antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, and toxicity activity of the EBGF. Our findings revealed that the EBGF and its fractions contain polyphenolic compounds, including long-chain esters of p-coumaric acid and quercetin, which contribute to their potent antioxidant activity. The EBGF exhibited significant anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects, highlighting its potential as a natural product for treating pain and inflammation. Our study supports G. uruguensis as a promising source of bioactive compounds with pharmacological potential.

description: Although the relationship between autoimmunity and microorganisms is complex, there is evidence that microorganisms can prevent the development of various autoimmune diseases. Lactobacilli are beneficial gut bacteria that play an important role in immune system development. The goals of this study were to assess the ability of three different strains of lactobacilli (L. casei B255, L. reuteri DSM 17509 and L. plantarum LP299v) to control lupus development/progression in (NZBxNZW)F1 (BWF1) lupus-prone mice before and after disease onset, and identify the mechanisms mediating protection. BWF1 mice fed with individual L. casei or L. reuteri before disease onset exhibited delayed lupus onset and increased survival, while feeding L. plantarum had little impact. In vitro treatment of BWF1 dendritic cells with individual lactobacilli strains upregulated IL-10 production to various extents, with L. casei being the most effective. The protection mediated by L. casei was associated with upregulation of B7-1 and B7-2 by antigen presenting cells, two costimulatory molecules important for regulatory T cell (Treg) induction. Moreover, feeding L. casei lead to increased percentages of CD4+Foxp3+ Tregs and IL10-producing T cells in the lymphoid organs of treated mice. More importantly, mice fed L. casei after disease onset remained stable for several months, i.e. exhibited delayed anti-nucleic acid production and kidney disease progression, and increased survival. Therefore, feeding lactobacilli appears to delay lupus progression possibly via mechanisms involving Treg induction and IL-10 production. Altogether, these data support the notion that ingestion of lactobacilli, with immunoregulatory properties, may be a viable strategy for controlling disease development and progression in patients with lupus, i.e. extending remission length and reducing flare frequency.

description: Change Detection (CD) of aerial images refers to identifying and analyzing changes between two or more aerial images of the same location taken at different times. The CD is a highly challenging task due to the need to distinguish relevant changes, such as urban expansion, deforestation, or post-disaster damage assessment, from irrelevant ones, such as light conditions, shadows, and seasonal variations. Many CD papers have recently been published, where most of the papers that proposed a new model contained a comparison between their proposed and state-of-the-art (SOTA) models. While many recent studies propose new deep learning (DL) models for improving CD performance, their comparative analyses are often restricted, lacking comprehensive insights into the proposed models' real-world generalizability, robustness, and performance trade-offs across diverse change characteristics. This paper presents a novel generic framework to systematically benchmark and assess DL-based CD models through three parallel pipelines: 1) cross-testing models on diverse benchmark datasets to evaluate generalization, 2) robustness analysis against different image corruptions, and 3) multi-faceted contour-level analytics evaluating detection sensitivity to change size/complexity. The framework is applied to comparatively evaluate five state-of-the-art DL-based CD models - Changeformer, BIT, Tiny, SNUNet, and CSA-CDGAN. Extensive experiments unveil each model's strengths, limitations and biases, highlighting their relative proficiencies in generalizing across data distributions, resilience to noise corruption, and discriminative capabilities for changes of varying characteristics. The proposed benchmarking framework demonstrates significant potential for guiding the selection of suitable CD models tailored to specific application requirements by comprehensively evaluating their generalizability, robustness, and detection capabilities across diverse real-world scenarios. This systematic evaluation approach can drive future research into developing more robust and versatile CD solutions aligned with practical needs.
Mit dem Velo sicher im Zürcher Strassenverkehr unterwegs

description: Wir alle wollen im Strassenverkehr sicher unterwegs sein – vor allem dann, wenn wir keine schützende Hülle um uns herumhaben. Das betrifft primär die Velofahrenden, wobei die Stadt Zürich im Jahr 2018 73 Velounfälle mehr als im Jahr 2017 verzeichnete - Tendenz steigend (DAV, 2019). Wie können Gefahren frühzeitig erkannt werden? Dieser Frage wird in der vorliegenden Bachelorarbeit, mit dem Fokus auf der Stadt Zürich, nachgegangen. Dabei orientiert sie sich entlang der aktuellen Forschung zur Gefahrenerkennung, Aufmerksamkeit und zum Situationsbewusstsein. Ebenfalls wird versucht, das Konstrukt der schwachen Signale, welches seinen Ursprung im organisationalen Kontext hat, auf die Thematik des Strassenverkehrs zu übertragen. Zur Zielerreichung wurde neben einer eingehenden Literaturrecherche auch die qualitative Methode der Experteninterviews eingesetzt. So war es möglich zu ermitteln, wie Gefahren frühzeitig erkannt werden können. Einerseits braucht es dazu gewisse Kenntnisse des Velofahrenden. Andererseits sind jedoch auch bestimmte Verhaltensweisen und Eigenschaften des Velofahrenden für eine frühzeitige Gefahrenerkennung fundamental. Endergebnis ist eine Zusammenstellung der Ergebnisse, welche der Dienstabteilung Verkehr Inputs für neue Präventionskampagnen liefern kann.

description: There is a growing interest among academic researchers and practitioners in management studies to show that integrity maters for leadership and performance. Although integrity is generally understood as honouring one’s words with a plausible link with ethics and morality, it is not clear whether there is any responsibility for leaders to act with integrity. Integrity is shown to be a positive phenomenon for leadership and performance without any normative foundation. This paper attempts to show that responsible leadership requires a normative foundation of self-respect and thereby it shows that integrity can be integrated in leadership ethics for responsible leadership.

“La guerra maestra violenta”. Polemos e stasis nel pensiero di Tucidide
Creators: name: Piovan, Dino
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Torino
Year: 2019
Subjects: Thucydides; stasis; polemos; violence; totalitarianism

description: In this paper I intend to provide an in-depth analysis ofThu- cydides’ account of war in the third section of his Xyngraphé. Despite most of his early commentators accused him of a certain obscurity, the notions of polemos and stasis he introduces in this text deserve to be discussed and give a number of insights into the problem of war inWestern culture. My core argument is that there is a clear analogy betweenThucydides’ concept of stasis andWeil’s reflexions on totalitarianism. In this perspective, a long period of stasis leads to the rise of a party, whose goal is to take power through violence and propaganda as a manipulation of language.

description: Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit1 ist es, einen State-of-the-Art-Bericht zur wirksamen Praxis in der strukturellen und settingorientierten Schuldenprävention aufzuarbeiten. In der Arbeit wer-den die drei Tätigkeitsfelder Steuern, Gesundheitskosten und Konsumkredite untersucht. Die Literaturrecherche und die Sekundärdatenanalyse zeigen, dass in allen drei Tätigkeitsfeldern wenig Evidenz zur Wirksamkeit von struktureller und settingorientierter Schuldenprävention vorhanden ist. Es zeigt sich jedoch, dass aktuell in der Schweiz verschiedene Massnahmen (z.B. Senkung des Höchstzinssatzes für Konsumkredite) umgesetzt werden, deren Wirksamkeit wissenschaftlich evaluiert werden sollte. Weitere Handlungsempfehlungen werden aufgezeigt, z.B. der Einsatz der psychologischen Konzepte der sozialen Bewährtheit und der mentalen Kontoführung in der Schuldenprävention.

description: In this paper we will develop a critical point of view on the traditional concept of war. We will analyze the fundamental conceptual structure of traditional strategic tought, focusing on the conceptual grounding and specific traits of the rationality it deploys, and then try to deconstruct such rationality by questioning key notions it presupposes, such as the notion of “enemy”, from a psycho- analitic and anthropologic perspective. We will draw from the work of Gregory Bateson and Franco Fornari in order to construct our critical argument, and then try to underline briefly the many aspects of modern warfare that reveal the obsolescence of the mainstream perspective on war.

description: Salivary gland involvement is a characteristic feature of primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), where tissue destruction is mediated by infiltrating immune cells, and may be accompanied by the presence of adipose tissue. Optimally diagnosing this multifactorial disease requires the incorporation of additional routines. Screening for disease-specific biomarkers in biological fluid could be a promising approach to increase diagnostic accuracy. We have previously investigated disease biomarkers in saliva and tear fluid of pSS patients, identifying Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as the most upregulated protein in pSS. In the current study, we aimed to explore for the first time NGAL expression at the site of inflammation in the pSS disease target organ. Immunohistochemical staining was conducted on minor salivary gland biopsies from 11 pSS patients and 11 non-SS sicca subjects, targeting NGAL-specific cells. Additional NGAL/PNAd double staining was performed to study NGAL expression in high endothelial venules, known as specialised vascular structures. Moreover, NGAL mRNA expression was measured utilising quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) on minor salivary gland biopsies from 15 pSS patients and 7 non-SS sicca individuals that served as tissue controls. Our results demonstrated NGAL expression in acinar and ductal epithelium within the salivary gland of pSS patients, where significantly greater levels of acinar NGAL were observed in pSS patients (p r 2 = 0.54, p r 2 = 0.74, p + endothelial venules also expressed NGAL. An increase in NGAL staining with increased fatty replacement was also observed in pSS patients. Concurringly, a 27% increase in NGAL mRNA levels were also detected in the minor salivary glands of pSS patients when compared to non-SS tissue control subjects. In conclusion, there is a positive association between increase in NGAL expression and inflammation in the pSS disease target organ, which also coincides with its previously demonstrated upregulation in the saliva of pSS patients. Additional functional analyses are needed to better understand the immunological implications of this potential biomarker.

Durezza della realtà, durata dell’ontologia

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Torino
Year: 2019

description: La realtà è dura, si dice. Non è una questione di “visione pessimistica del mondo”, come si potrebbe pensare di primo acchito. Piuttosto, è la semplice – quasi ovvia – constatazione che il nostro incontro con la realtà è sempre anche uno “scontro”, un impatto con qualcosa che ci precede e ci resiste. Metaforicamente, uno scontro con qualcosa a cui non importa nulla della nostra esistenza. Può essere un im- patto traumatico o gioioso, ma si tratta pur sempre di un impatto. Ora, l’ontologia ha precisamente il compito di descrivere il reale, ciò che c’è, senza ri(con)durre la durezza del reale a elementi a esso estranei.

description: The prevalence of stress-related disorders has increased significantly in recent years, necessitating scalable methods to identify affected individuals. This paper proposes a novel approach utilizing large language models (LLMs), with a focus on OpenAI's generative pre-trained transformer (GPT-3) embeddings and machine learning (ML) algorithms to classify social media posts as indicative or not of stress disorders. The aim is to create a preliminary screening tool leveraging online textual data. GPT-3 embeddings transformed posts into vector representations capturing semantic meaning and linguistic nuances. Various models, including support vector machines, random forests, XGBoost, KNN, and neural networks, were trained on a dataset of >10,000 labeled social media posts. The top model, a support vector machine, achieved 83% accuracy in classifying posts displaying signs of stress.

description: We present the emergence of chimeras, a state referring to coexistence of partly coherent, partly
incoherent dynamics in networks of identical oscillators, in a multiplex network consisting of two
non-identical layers which are interconnected. We demonstrate that the parameter range displaying
the chimera state in the homogeneous first layer of the multiplex networks can be tuned by changing
the link density or connection architecture of the same nodes in the second layer. We focus on the
impact of the interconnected second layer on the enlargement or shrinking of the coupling regime for
which chimeras are displayed in the homogeneous first layer. We find that a denser homogeneous
second layer promotes chimera in a sparse first layer, where chimeras do not occur in isolation.
Furthermore, while a dense connection density is required for the second layer if it is homogeneous,
this is not true if the second layer is inhomogeneous. We demonstrate that a sparse inhomogeneous
second layer which is common in real-world complex systems, can promote chimera states in a sparse
homogeneous first layer.
Realtà come emergenza

description: In this paper I intend to present my perspective on truth as “emergence” within the context of the recent debate about what I called in my previous works “New Realism”.Through a radical critique of any variety of constructivism, namely the thesis according to which subject and object cannot be conceived of outside their reciprocal relation, I will emphasize that the universe emerged independently from the subject, provided that reality has no need to be thinked of in order to be as such.This means that the subject has no ontological priority over reality. Rather, reality is nonemendable, inso- far as it resists our attempts to modify it according to our subjective categories. On the opposite, nowadays the task of philosophy is to search for «what is real in reality».

description: The correct choice of in vitro pollen germination media (PGM) is crucial in basic and applied pollen research. However, the methodological gaps (e.g., strong focus of current research on model species and cultivated plants along with the lack of general rules for developing a PGM) makes experimenting with pollen difficult. We closed these gaps by compiling a compendium of optimized in vitro PGM recipes from more than 1800 articles published in English, German, and Russian from 1926 to 2019. The compendium includes 1572 PGM recipes successfully used to germinate pollen grains or produce pollen tubes in 816 species representing 412 genera and 114 families (both monocots and dicots). Among the 110 components recorded from the different PGM recipes, sucrose (89% of species), H3BO3 (77%), Ca2+ (59%), Mg2+ (44%), and K+ (39%) were the most commonly used PGM components. PGM pH was reported in 35% of all studies reviewed. Also, we identified some general rules for creating PGM for various groups of species differing in area of research (wild and cultivated species), phylogenetic relatedness (angiosperms vs. gymnosperms, dicots vs. monocots), pollen physiology (bi- and tri-cellular), biochemistry (starchy vs. starchless pollen grains), and stigma properties (dry vs. wet), and compared the component requirements. Sucrose, calcium, and magnesium concentrations were significantly different across most categories indicating that pollen sensitivity to sugar and mineral requirements in PGM is highly group-specific and should be accounted for when composing new PGM. This compendium is an important data resource on PGM and can facilitate future pollen research.

description: A staged protocol for isolated cleft palate (CPO), comprising the early repair of the soft palate at 6 months and delayed repair of the eventual cleft in the hard palate until 4 years, designed to improve maxillary growth, was introduced. CPO is frequently associated with additional congenital conditions. The study evaluates this surgical protocol for clefts in the soft palate (CPS) and for clefts in the hard and soft palate (CPH), with or without additional malformation, regarding primary and secondary surgical interventions needed for cleft closure and for correction of velopharyngeal insufficiency until 10 years of age. Of 94 consecutive children with CPO, divided into four groups with (+) or without (−) additional malformations (CPS + or CPS − and CPH + or CPH−), hard palate repair was required in 53%, performed with small local flaps in 21% and with bilateral mucoperiosteal flaps in 32%. The total incidence of soft palate re-repair was 2% and the fistula repair of the hard palate was 5%. The total incidence of secondary velopharyngeal surgery was 17% until 10 years, varying from 0% for CPS − and 15% for CPH−, to 28% for CPS + and 30% for CPH+. The described staged protocol for repair of CPO is found to be safe in terms of perioperative surgical results, with comparatively low need for secondary interventions. Furthermore, the study indicates that the presence of a cleft in the hard palate and/or additional conditions have a negative impact on the development of the velopharyngeal function.

description: This paper investigates the seasonal performance of a combined solar, heat pump and latent heat storage system for dwellings. This combination could provide a viable alternative to common brine-water heat pump systems with a borehole heat exchanger (BHX). Since the latent heat storage, or ice storage, is filled with pure water, it can also be used in (but is not limited to) places where a BHX is prohibited, e.g. water protection areas. The aim of this work is to find and evaluate given system configurations for three different annual heat demands that reach seasonal performance factors (SPF) comparable to those of BHX heat pump systems, i.e. SPF ~ 4.0. A simulation study using MATLAB®/SIMULINK® and the CARNOT Blockset is conducted. Technologies considered in the simulation study are a brine-water heat pump, unglazed solar collectors as source for the heat pump and a buried ice storage that serves as alternative source for the heat pump and is regenerated by the collectors. Unglazed collectors use solar irradiation and ambient heat (via convective heat exchange) for heat generation. Additionally, thermal coupling of the ice storage to the surrounding soil which also contributes to the regeneration of the system is considered. The simulation models of this system have been validated with laboratory and field test data. The heat generated by the heat pump is used for space heating and domestic hot water preparation of single family houses with different heat loads which have been defined in the framework of IEA SHC Task 44 / HPP Annex 38 "Solar and heat pump systems". To obtain the desired SPF for each building type the power output of the heat pump with the corresponding size of the collector field is varied. For each building a configuration is found that yields a SPF ~ 4.0. A high SPF can only be reached as long as no backup heating is needed, which means, that the ice storage should never be completely discharged, i.e. completely frozen. This requires significant contributions from the solar collector, especially during the heating period.

description: The quantity of wastewater being discharged into the environment due to the rise in industrial activities is progressively growing over time. Aside from large environmental risk posed by untreated wastewater discharge, the reuse of treated water prevents wastage of large amounts of water. For this reason, in this study, the reuse potential of an organized industrial zone wastewater was investigated by membrane processes. The appropriate membrane type and rejection performance were determined for various pollutant parameters including conductivity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN), chloride, and sulfate. Laboratory-scale batch membrane filtration experiments were performed by using three different membrane types (BW30, XLE, and X20). The experiments were conducted at 15 and 20 bar pressures and flux data were collected during the operations. The results showed that BW30 and X20 membranes could be operated comfortably with 80% recovery for the wastewater containing low and high sulfate concentrations. For the wastewater with low sulfate concentration, the fluxes of BW30 and X20 at 20 bar were 19.7 and 16.4 L/m²/h, respectively, at 80% recovery. On the other hand, for the wastewater with higher sulfate concentration, the fluxes of BW30 and X20 at 20 bar were 8.6 and 11.5 L/m²/h, respectively.

description: Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit hat Berufsschüler der Unternehmung Login Berufsbildung AG Olten auf Ihre Einstellungsänderung nach der Durchführung von VR-Training (virtueller Raum, virtuelle Realität) unter Beeinflussung des Kontext-Interferenz-Effekts untersucht. Es wurden zehn VR-Trainings durchgeführt mit einer Einteilung der Berufsschüler jeweils in drei Gruppen, eine mit Kontextinterferenzeffekt (random), eine mit geblocktem Training (blocked) und eine Kontrollgruppe, die nicht an den Trainings teilnahm. Zur selben Zeit wurden nebst quantitativen Daten, die im Rahmen einer Masterarbeit erhoben wurden, auch qualitative Interviews vor und nach den VR Trainings durchgeführt, um die generelle Einstellung, das Empfinden und die Akzeptanz des Lernmediums VR bei den Jugendlichen zu erfassen. Die gewonnenen Daten ergeben, dass die Jugendlichen den VR-Trainings von Anfang an positiv gegenüberstanden und auch danach diese für die Ausbildung für bestimmte Tätigkeiten als geeignet empfinden. Die generelle Einstellung hat sich über die Trainings hinweg tendenziell positiv verändert.
Fenomenologia trascendentale e ontologia universale

description: Usually, Husserlian phenomenology is thought to bring the question concerning reality and being back to the question of reduction, and there by to the status of objectivity. In other words, from Husserl’s standpoint, it seems that ontology can be rightly grasped only in its relation to the immanence of consciousness. For this reason, he has often been accused of idealism. Nonetheless, we have to go deeper into the relation between consciousness and being, subjectivity and reality, in order to understand the authentic sense of Husserlian idealism, in both its epistemological and ontological interpretation. In doing that we will encounter the notion of “universal ontology”, which leads us to go beyond the boundaries of formal and material ontologies, and reconsider the whole ontological discourse in light of transcendental phenomenology.This means that we cannot isolate the level of natural ontology from that of monadic ontology, which in turn readdresses us to its genetic constitution.

description: This paper presents a smartphone-based physical access control system in which the access points are not directly connected to a central authorization server. The access points ask the mobile phone whether a particular user has access or not. The mobile phone then relays such a request to the access server. The authentication of the smartphone is based on public-key cryptography. This requires that the private key is stored in a secure element or in a trusted execution environment to prevent identity theft. In our solution we use the following secure element archiectures: Host Card Emulation (HCE) and a microSD-based secure element. We show that the HCE approach cannot solve the relay attack under conservative security assumptions and we present and discuss an implementation based on a microSD secure element that still allows the access points to connect to the authorization server upon every access albeit the access points are not connected with it.
Husserl: per una definizione del trascendentale e delle sue implicazioni ontologiche

description: According to Husserl essences are a priori. Nevertheless, this does not mean that essences are “innate ideas”: we become aware of essences through a highly complex process of apprehension. As is well known, Husserl introduces in his Logical Investigations the notion of «ideation», strictly con- nected to the problem of the apprehension of essences.With this respect, categorical intuition develops a specific aspect of ideation. For instance, the visual perception of a tree implies a pre-verbal apprehension of its essence. Regardless of any contingent definition of the “tree”, the point of our pre-verbal grasp of the tree’s essence is that we can immediately recognize its resemblances and differences, in order to recall it hereafter. In other words, pre-reflective experiences pre-delineates horizons of possible experiences.This paper in- tends to provide an in-depth description of how in- tentionality changes according to the sedimenta- tion of experience, which pre-delineates horizons of possible objects and determines their constitution.
