description: The geometries and topologies of leaves, flowers, roots, shoots, and their arrangements have fascinated plant biologists and mathematicians alike. As such, plant morphology is inherently mathematical in that it describes plant form and architecture with geometrical and topological techniques. Gaining an understanding of how to modify plant morphology, through molecular biology and breeding, aided by a mathematical perspective, is critical to improving agriculture, and the monitoring of ecosystems is vital to modeling a future with fewer natural resources. In this white paper, we begin with an overview in quantifying the form of plants and mathematical models of patterning in plants. We then explore the fundamental challenges that remain unanswered concerning plant morphology, from the barriers preventing the prediction of phenotype from genotype to modeling the movement of leaves in air streams. We end with a discussion concerning the education of plant morphology synthesizing biological and mathematical approaches and ways to facilitate research advances through outreach, cross-disciplinary training, and open science. Unleashing the potential of geometric and topological approaches in the plant sciences promises to transform our understanding of both plants and mathematics.

description: By analyzing human readers' performance in detecting small round lesions in simulated digital breast tomosynthesis background in a location known exactly scenario, we have developed a model observer that is a better predictor of human performance with different levels of background complexity (i.e., anatomical and quantum noise). Our analysis indicates that human observers perform a lesion detection task by combining a number of sub-decisions, each an indicator of the presence of a lesion in the image stack. This is in contrast to a channelized Hotelling observer, where the detection task is conducted holistically by thresholding a single decision variable, made from an optimally weighted linear combination of channels. However, it seems that the sub-par performance of human readers compared to the CHO cannot be fully explained by their reliance on sub-decisions, or perhaps we do not consider a sufficient number of sub-decisions. To bridge the gap between the performances of human readers and the model observer based upon sub-decisions, we use an additive noise model, the power of which is modulated with the level of background complexity. The proposed model observer better predicts the fast drop in human detection performance with background complexity.

description: Heterotrimeric G proteins function in development, biotic, and abiotic stress responses, hormone signaling as well as sugar sensing. We previously proposed that discrimination of these various external signals in the G protein pathway is accomplished in plants by membrane-localized receptor-like kinases (RLKs) rather than G-protein-coupled receptors. Arabidopsis thaliana Regulator of G Signaling protein 1 (AtRGS1) modulates G protein activation and is phosphorylated by several RLKs and by WITH-NO-LYSINE kinases (WNKs). Here, a combination of in vitro kinase assays, mass spectrometry, and computational bioinformatics identified and functionally prioritized phosphorylation sites in AtRGS1. Phosphosites for two more RLKs (BRL3 and PEPR1) were identified and added to the AtRGS1 phosphorylation profile. Bioinformatics analyses revealed that RLKs and WNK kinases phosphorylate plant RGS proteins within regions that are conserved across eukaryotes and at a high frequency. Four phospho-sites among 14 identified are proximal to equivalent mammalian phosphosites that impact RGS function, including: pS437 and pT267 in GmRGS2, and pS339 and pS436 in AtRGS1. Based on these analyses, we propose that pS437 and pS436 regulate GmRGS2 and AtRGS1 protein interactions and/or localization, whereas pT267 is important for modulation of GmRGS2 GAP activity and localization. Moreover, pS339 most likely affects AtRGS1 activation.

description: There is reason to think that a particular concept of joint commitment informs much human behavior. This paper introduces the concept in question and briefly develops one argument for its centrality in human life. This argument focuses on the inherence in many central social phenomena of a particular kind of right.

description: The $γ^\ast γ\to π^0$ transition form factor, $G(Q^2)$, is computed on the entire domain of spacelike momenta using a continuum approach to the two valence-body bound-state problem in relativistic quantum field theory: the result agrees with data obtained by the CELLO, CLEO and Belle Collaborations. The analysis unifies this prediction with that of the pion's valence-quark parton distribution amplitude (PDA) and elastic electromagnetic form factor, and demonstrates, too, that a fully self-consistent treatment can readily connect a pion PDA that is a broad, concave function at the hadronic scale with the perturbative QCD prediction for the transition form factor in the hard photon limit. The normalisation of that limit is set by the scale of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking, which is a crucial feature of the Standard Model. Understanding of the latter will thus remain incomplete until definitive transition form factor data is available on $Q^2>10\,$GeV$^2$.

Augur Augurem Videns... Belief and Make-Believe in Social Life
Creators: name: Żełaniec, Wojciech
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind

description: Lévy-Bruhl thought that the primitive mind could not really distinguish itself from the ‘collective mind’ of the community it was immersed in; the post-modern mind, by contrast, though arguably no less forcibly pressed into the Procrustean bed of various collective beliefs, is very well in the position to dissociate itself from the ‘us’ whose position it sometimes pretends to represent. Are such beliefs, then, really anyone’s beliefs or are they merely ‘make-believes’? Though Gilbert in her ‘Joint commitment’ does not explicitly address this question, I try to reconstruct, from the text of her book, her possible answer to it.

description: The Regulator of G protein signaling 4 (RGS4) gene is a candidate susceptibility gene for schizophrenia (SCZ). Previous studies showed that the mRNA level of the longest splice variant RGS4-1 was decreased in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) of SCZ patients compared with healthy controls. In this pilot study, we examined the possible mechanisms of RGS4-1 mRNA reduction in SCZ. We genotyped SNP1 (rs10917670), rs2661347, SNP4 (rs951436), SNP7 (rs951439), SNP18 (rs2661319), and rs10799897 (SNP9897) and tested the methylation status of CpG islands of the RGS4 gene in the postmortem DLPFC samples obtained from subjects with SCZ and bipolar disorder as well as healthy controls. RGS4-1 mRNA level was associated with five SNPs (SNP1, rs2661347, SNP4, SNP7, and SNP18) and their haplotypes but not with SNP9897. In addition, this study revealed that RGS4-1 mRNA was low in subjects with specific genotypes of SNP1, rs2661347, SNP4, SNP7, and SNP18. Lower RGS4-1 mRNA expression in the DLPFC of SCZ is associated with SNPs in the 5′ regulatory region of the RGS4 gene but not with the methylation status of its CpG islands.
On Acting Because of a Joint Commitment
Creators: name: Tossut, Silvia
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2016

description: I focus on the motivational role that Gilbert attributes to joint commitment. Using Bacharach’s game theoretical analysis of non-summative group agency, I point out that Gilbert’s account of social actions conceptually requires the obliteration of individual preferences and individual rationality. Then, I investigate whether acting because of a joint commitment is rational in some sense, focusing primarily on the phenomenon of asking and giving the permission to defect (fair defection) when a joint commitment is in place. I show that the obliteration of individual preferences prevents the possibility of rational fair defection. Finally, I analyze Gilbert’s recent suggestion concerning the introduction of personal preferences in her account, and I show that such introduction cannot solve the problem with the (ir)rationality of fair defection, and that personal preferences can hardly be consistently included in Gilbert’s account.

description: Mechanical oscillators which respond to radiation pressure are a promising means of transferring quantum information between light and matter. Optical--mechanical state swaps are a key operation in this setting. Existing proposals for optomechanical state swap interfaces are only effective in the resolved sideband limit. Here, we show that it is possible to fully and deterministically exchange mechanical and optical states outside of this limit, in the common case that the cavity linewidth is larger than the mechanical resonance frequency. This high-bandwidth interface opens up a significantly larger region of optomechanical parameter space, allowing generation of non-classical motional states of high-quality, low-frequency mechanical oscillators.

Joint Commitment and Collective Belief: a Revisionary Proposal
Creators: name: Townsend, Leo
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2016

description: According to Margaret Gilbert, two or more people collectively believe that p if and only if they are jointly committed to believe that p as a body. But the way she construes joint commitment in her account – as a commitment of and by the several parties to “doing something as a body” – encourages the thought that the phenomenon accounted for is not that of genuine belief. I explain why this concern arises and explore a different way of construing joint commitment, in order to avoid the concern. This leads me to propose a revised Gilbertian account of collective belief, according to which two or more people collectively believe that p if and only if they are jointly committed to p as true.

Epistemic Authority and Manipulation: Exploring the ‘Dark Side’ of Social Agency
Creators: name: Rinofner-Kreidl, Sonja
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2016

description: Part of our social reality results from explicitly acknowledging sharing certain ideas, emotions, and value-commitments. Hence it has been addressed as manifestation of joint commitments, shared intentions, we-reasoning or collective intentionality. Yet relevant parts of our social reality come into existence in a different way. There are various forms of intentionally opaque social agency that are founded upon implicit agreements, thereby conveying uncertainty and blurred roles of acting. Their overall character may, for instance, result from an in-built epistemic asymmetry that tends to blur the distinction between voluntary and non-voluntary modes of acting. Arguably, manipulation is a case in point. My main concern in analyzing manipulative actions is to figure out how the ideas of reason and (epistemic) authority are connected with the social constitution and self-understanding of the agents involved.

Assessing Repetitive Negative Thinking Using Categorical and Transdiagnostic Approaches: A Comparison and Validation of Three Polish Language Adaptations of Self-Report Questionnaires

description: Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) is a transdiagnostic process involved in the risk, maintenance, and relapse of serious conditions including mood disorders, anxiety, eating disorders, and addictions. Processing mode theory provides a theoretical model to assess, research, and treat RNT using a transdiagnostic approach. Clinical researchers also often employ categorical approaches to RNT, including a focus on depressive rumination or worry, for similar purposes. Three widely used self-report questionnaires have been developed to assess these related constructs: the Ruminative Response Scale (RRS), the Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire (PTQ), and the Mini-Cambridge Exeter Repetitive Thought Scale (Mini-CERTS). Yet these scales have not previously been used in conjunction, despite useful theoretical distinctions only available in Mini-CERTS. The present validation of the methods in a Polish speaking population provides psychometric parameters estimates that contribute to current efforts to increase reliable replication of theoretical outcomes. Moreover, the following study aims to present particular characteristics and a comparison of the three methods. Although there has been some exploration of a categorical approach, the comparison of transdiagnostic methods is still lacking. These methods are particularly relevant for developing and evaluating theoretically based interventions like concreteness training, an emerging field of increasing interest, which can be used to address the maladaptive processing mode in RNT that can lead to depression and other disorders. Furthermore, the translation of these measures enables the examination of possible cross-cultural structural differences that may lead to important theoretical progress in the measurement and classification of RNT. The results support the theoretical hypothesis. As expected, the dimensions of brooding, general repetitive negative thinking, as well as abstract analytical thinking, can all be classified as unconstructive repetitive thinking. The particular characteristics of each scale and potential practical applications in clinical and research are discussed.
Commitments in Groups and Commitments of Groups
Creators: name: Heim, Jacob
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2016

description: I argue that a group can have normative commitments, and that the commitment of a group is not merely a sum or aggregate of the commitments of individual group members. I begin with a set of simple cases which illustrate two structurally different ways that group commitments can go wrong. These two kinds of potential failure correspond to two different levels of commitment: one at the individual level, owed to the other group members, and one at the group level, which the group as a single body owes either to itself or to some third party. I distinguish the content of a commitment (what must be done for the commitment to be fulfilled) from the holder of that commitment: the party to whom the content is owed. I then discuss examples which support the two-level view of group commitment and show that, even when individual-level and group-level commitments have the same content, they are understood to have different holders. Finally I return to my original cases and argue that a two-level structure of group commitment allows us to make sense of the problems that occur in them.

description: Which factors influence a human being’s ability to develop new perspectives and be creative? This ability is pivotal for any context in which new cognitions are required, such as innovative endeavors in science and art, or psychotherapeutic settings. In this article, we seek to bring together two research programs investigating the generation of creative options: On the one hand, research on option generation in the decision-making literature and, on the other hand, cognitive and clinical creativity research. Previous decision-making research has largely neglected the topic of generating creative options. Experiments typically provided participants with a clear set of options to choose from, but everyday life situations are less structured and allow countless ways to react. Before choosing an option, agents have to self-generate a set of options to choose from. Such option generation processes have only recently moved to the center of attention. The present study examines the creative quality of self-generated options in daily life situations. A student sample (N = 48) generated options for action in 70 briefly described everyday life scenarios. We rated the quality of the options on three dimensions of creativity- originality, feasibility, and divergence -and linked these qualities to option generation fluency (speed and number of generated options), situational features like the familiarity and the affective valence of the situation in which the options were generated, and trait measures of cognitive performance. We found that when situations were familiar to the participant, greater negative affective valence of the situation was associated with more originality and divergence of generated options. We also found that a higher option generation fluency was associated with a greater maximal originality of options. We complete our article with a joint research agenda for researchers in the decision-making field focusing on option generation and, on the other hand, researchers working on the cognitive and clinical aspects of creativity.
The Plural Subject Approach to Social Ontology and the Sharing Values Issue
Creators: name: De Vecchi, Francesca
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2016

description: I address the issue of the unity of social ontology despite the extreme variety of social entities: groups, money, promises, governments, laws, etc. Then, I focus on Gilbert’s account of social ontology as an ontology specifically dealing with groups as plural subjects, and face with Gilbert’s concept of shared values as values of plural subjects created by joint commitment. I argue that Gilbert’s account of shared values is a cognitivist and extrinsic one: it neglects the specific role of values for the constitution of plural subjects and considers values neither as a necessary nor as a sufficient condition for social unity. I suggest that, unlike Gilbert and the main trend in the contemporary social ontological debate, phenomenology provides an axiology that can allow to account adequately for values and to understand values’ crucial role for social unity. I discuss Scheler’s dividing vs. sharing values thesis and mention Schapp’s collective values thesis. Finally I address the question of the collective feeling value.

A Phenomenology of Social Stances

Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2016

description: The paper develops a phenomenology of social stances, trying to show that Margaret Gilbert’s work on joint commitments can be understood as a special case of what here presented. The offered conceptualization shows that “to accept” is an important moment of social reality (as in Gilbert’s work), but also that there are many more stances to be discussed which are important. These are “to refuse” (or “to rebel against”), “to suffer”, “to assent” and “to make something one’s own”. The last part of the paper tests the explanatory power of the sketched theory, trying to show that it provides valuable elements for an account of convention.

The Normativity of Institutions

description: Some philosophers have claimed that normativity is an essential feature of social institutions, and have identified the source of normativity in collective intentionality. In this paper I argue that (1) normativity is not essential for social institutions; (2) normativity has many sources and it is unlikely that a single theory is able to account for them all; (3) a powerful conception of institutions – the “rules in equilibrium” account – provides an adequate framework to represent the effects of normativity and to explain its social function; (4) it is a mistake to ask a theory of institutions to do more than that. While normativity is an important element of institutions, we should not build our social ontology on a single, specific conception of normativity.

description: In this paper it is argued that: (1) political rights and obligations are a species of institutional (moral) right and obligation (respectively) and are not, therefore, natural rights and obligation; (2) political rights and obligations in a given polity are not simply aggregates of individual rights and obligations rather they are joint political rights and obligations; (3) the exercise of these joint rights, and the concomitant discharging of these joint obligations, is (i) a collective good in itself; (ii) productive of the collective good of legitimate government, and (iii) productive of the collective good of the coordination and regulation of other social institutions (government is a meta-institution), and (4) the procedure of voting in a democratic polity is a joint institutional mechanism – understood as a particular construction out of the notion of a joint action – and a specific expression of the joint right and obligation to engage in political participation.

description: Existing evidence suggests executive functioning (EF) deficits may be present in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by 3 years of age. It is less clear when, prior to 3 years, EF deficits may emerge and how EF unfold over time. The contribution of motor skill difficulties to poorer EF in children with ASD has not been systematically studied. We investigated the developmental trajectory of EF in infants at high and low familial risk for ASD (HR and LR) and the potential associations between motor skills, diagnostic group, and EF performance. Participants included 186 HR and 76 LR infants. EF (A-not-B), motor skills (Fine and Gross Motor), and cognitive ability were directly assessed at 12 months and 24 months of age. Participants were directly evaluated for ASD at 24 months using DSM-IV-TR criteria and categorized as HR-ASD, HR-Negative, and LR-Negative. HR-ASD and HR-Negative siblings demonstrated less improvement in EF over time compared to the LR-Negative group. Motor skills were associated with group and EF performance at 12 months. No group differences were found at 12 months, but at 24 months, the HR-ASD and HR-Negative groups performed worse than the LR-Negative group overall after controlling for visual reception and maternal education. On reversal trials, the HR-ASD group performed worse than the LR-Negative group. Motor skills were associated with group and EF performance on reversal trials at 24 months. Findings suggest that HR siblings demonstrate altered EF development and that motor skills may play an important role in this process.

description: Die folgenschwere Hochwasserkatastrophe im Juli 2021 verdeutlicht die Notwendigkeit zur Verbesserung der Hochwasser- und Überflutungsvorsorge in den betroffenen Regionen des Ahrtals. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, unter Verwendung einer multikriteriellen Bewertungsmethodik auf regionaler Maßstabsebene, potentielle Standorte für Hochwasserrückhaltebecken und Versiegelungsverbotszonen zu identifizieren. Durch eine Erhöhung der Wasserspeicherkapazitäten in der Landschaft und eine Reduzierung der weiteren Versiegelung in hochwassergefährdeten Bereichen sollen bei zukünftigen Starkregenereignissen die Schäden in den betroffenen Regionen des Ahrtals minimiert werden. Die angewandte Methodik stützt sich auf kriterien- und indikatorenbasierte Analysen mit einem Geo-Informationssystem (GIS) und einer mathematischen Optimierung mittels Compromise Programming (CP). Dies dient der transparenten und nachvollziehbaren Kompromisslösung verschiedener Belange. Die Gewichtungen der einzelnen gewählten Kriterien und Indikatoren basieren auf Erkenntnissen einer Feldforschung im März 2022 und auf dem Fachwissen von Expert:innen unter Verwendung der Gewichtungsmethode Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Im Zuge der Feldforschung konnten die ermittelten Flächen hinreichend überprüft werden. Insgesamt konnten zwölf Standorte für Hochwasserrückhaltebecken, welche eine Fläche von 150 ha aufweisen, sowie acht potentielle Versiegelungsverbotszonen mit einer Fläche von 57,78 ha identifiziert werden. Die Diskussion zu den Analyseergebnissen und den ermittelten Flächen kann beispielsweise als Abwägungsgrundlage bei der Verbesserung der Hochwasservorsorge dienen. Des Weiteren stellt die konzipierte Bewertungsmethodik ein reproduzierbares Schema für die Standortsuche der gewählten Hochwasser- und Starkregenvorsorgemaßnahmen in vergleichbaren Regionen dar.

description: The non-observation of new particles at the LHC suggests the existence of a mass gap above the electroweak scale. This situation is adequately described through a general electroweak effective theory with the established fields and Standard Model symmetries. Its couplings contain all information about the unknown short-distance dynamics which is accessible at low energies. We consider a generic strongly-coupled scenario of electroweak symmetry breaking, with heavy states above the gap, and analyze the imprints that its lightest bosonic excitations leave on the effective Lagrangian couplings. Different quantum numbers of the heavy states imply different patterns of low-energy couplings, with characteristic correlations which could be identified in future data samples. The predictions can be sharpened with mild assumptions about the ultraviolet behaviour of the underlying fundamental theory.

description: Flooding is the number one cause of natural disaster fatalities worldwide. The Height Above the Nearest Drainage (HAND) is widely used in large-scale flood inundation modeling. While the high efficiency and computationally friendly of HAND, it results in a large error. We first evaluate the error and, compare it with a benchmark model which is a 2D hydraulic solver. We proposed a new alternative named distance to drainage to measure the distance of all cells to the drainage cells. Then we calculate the distribution of the HAND error given the distance to drainage. We find that the error follows the Laplacian distribution with different scale parameters depending on the distance to drainage. Finally, based on the fitted distribution, we construct two rasters that represent the upper and lower bound of the potential flood extent and depth under a certain confidence interval.

description: Prosody plays an important role in online sentence processing both explicitly and implicitly. It has been shown that prosodically packaging together parts of a sentence that are interpreted together facilitates processing of the sentence. This applies not only to explicit prosody but also implicit prosody. The present work hypothesizes that a line break in a written text induces an implicit prosodic break, which, in turn, should result in a processing bias for interpreting English wh-questions. Two experiments—one self-paced reading study and one questionnaire study—are reported. Both supported the “line break” hypothesis mentioned above. The results of the self-paced reading experiment showed that unambiguous wh-questions were read faster when the location of line breaks (or frame breaks) matched the scope of a wh-phrase (main or embedded clause) than when they did not. The questionnaire tested sentences with an ambiguous wh-phrase, one that could attach either to the main or the embedded clause. These sentences were interpreted as attaching to the main clause more often than to the embedded clause when a line break appeared after the main verb, but not when it appeared after the embedded verb.
Shared Norms and Nomotrophic Behaviour
Creators: name: Passerini Glazel, Lorenzo
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind

description: The paper proposes to construe the “interventions in the lives of others when one thinks that the others’ behaviour is wrong” (Devlin and Gilbert), and the “reactions to disappointment of normative expectations” (Niklas Luhmann) under the notion of “nomotrophic behaviour”, i.e. a behaviour that aims at the maintenance of a norm in the event of its infringement. Subsequently, some of the implications of nomotrophic behaviour at an epistemological level (as a clue for inferring norms from action), and at an ontological level (with respect to the existence of norms) are investigated. The paper then examines a possible norm-generating (nomogenic) effect of “nomotrophic behaviour am Phantasma”, and eventually inscribes the different forms of nomotrophic behaviour in the superordinate category of “meta-normative behaviour”.

Associative Political Obligations and the Distributive Objection
Creators: name: Horton, John
name: Windeknecht, Ryan
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2016

description: In this article we assess the distributive objection to the claim that we have associative political obligations. We deploy three kinds of strategy in our response: avoidance, mitigation and confrontation. Avoidance and mitigation are accommodating responses, in which we argue that associative political obligations often need not fall foul of the distributive objection in any very damaging way. But they may not always be enough, and thus confrontation may sometimes be necessary. This response involves rejecting the more extreme claims of proponents of the distributive objection, while accepting that occasionally serious tensions between the demands of our associative political obligations and those of global redistribution may remain, both of which have moral standing.

description: Received models of cooperative action overlook the way that the social environment itself features in collective intentions; recognising the divergent ways that norms function can help explain how people collaborating covertly are not considered irrational even though the things they are doing are totally contrary to the principles and convictions they sustain as individual agents.
