description: We describe the angular power spectrum of resolved sources at 3.6 microns (L-band) in Spitzer imaging data of the GOODS HDF-N, the GOODS CDF-S, and the NDWFS Bootes field in several source magnitude bins. We also measure angular power spectra of resolved sources in the Bootes field at K_S and J-bands using ground-based IR imaging data. In the three bands, J, K_S, and L, we detect the clustering of galaxies on top of the shot-noise power spectrum at multipoles between ell ~ 10^2 and 10^5. The angular power spectra range from the large, linear scales to small, non-linear scales of galaxy clustering, and in some magnitude ranges, show departure from a power-law clustering spectrum. We consider a halo model to describe clustering measurements and to establish the halo occup ation number parameters of IR bright galaxies at redshifts around one. We also extend our clustering results and completeness-corrected faint source number counts in GOODS fields to understand the underlying nature of unresolved sources responsible for IR background (IRB) anisotropies that were detected in deep Spitzer images. While these unresolved fluctuations were measured at sub-arcminute angular scales, if a high-redshift diffuse component associated with first galaxies exists in the IRB, then it's clustering properties are best studied with shallow, wide-field images that allow a measurement of the clustering spectrum from a few degrees to arcminute angular scales.

description: We study the neutral minima of two-Higgs doublet models, showing that these potentials can have at least two such minima with different depths. We analyse the phenomenology of these minima for the several types of two-Higgs doublet potentials, where CP is explicitly broken, spontaneously broken or preserved. We discover that it is possible to have a neutral minimum in these potentials where the masses of the known particles have their standard values, with another deeper minimum where those same particles acquire different masses.

description: Max cones are max-algebraic analogs of convex cones. In the present paper we develop a theory of generating sets and extremals of max cones in ${\mathbb R}_+^n$. This theory is based on the observation that extremals are minimal elements of max cones under suitable scalings of vectors. We give new proofs of existing results suitably generalizing, restating and refining them. Of these, it is important that any set of generators may be partitioned into the set of extremals and the set of redundant elements. We include results on properties of open and closed cones, on properties of totally dependent sets and on computational bounds for the problem of finding the (essentially unique) basis of a finitely generated cone.

description: Network slicing is emerging as a promising method to provide sought-after versatility and flexibility to cope with ever-increasing demands. To realize such potential advantages and to meet the challenging requirements of various network slices in an on-demand fashion, we need to develop an agile and distributed mechanism for resource provisioning to different network slices in a heterogeneous multi-resource multi-domain mobile network environment. We formulate inter-domain resource provisioning to network slices in such an environment as an optimization problem which maximizes social welfare among network slice tenants (so that maximizing tenants' satisfaction), while minimizing operational expenditures for infrastructure service providers at the same time. To solve the envisioned problem, we implement an iterative auction game among network slice tenants, on one hand, and a plurality of price-taking subnet service providers, on the other hand. We show that the proposed solution method results in a distributed privacy-saving mechanism which converges to the optimal solution of the described optimization problem. In addition to providing analytical results to characterize the performance of the proposed mechanism, we also employ numerical evaluations to validate the results, demonstrate convergence of the presented algorithm, and show the enhanced performance of the proposed approach (in terms of resource utilization, fairness and operational costs) against the existing solutions.

description: The unpredictable Anthropocene poses the challenge of imagining a radically different, equitable and sustainable world. Looking 100 years ahead is not easy, and especially as millennials, it appears quite bleak. This paper is the outcome of a visioning exercise carried out in a 2-day workshop, attended by 33 young early career professionals under the auspices of IPBES. The process used Nature Futures Framework in an adapted visioning method from the Seeds of Good Anthropocene project. Four groups envisioned more desirable future worlds; where humanity has organised itself, the economy, politics and technology, to achieve improved nature-human well-being. The four visions had differing conceptualisations of this future. However, there were interesting commonalities in their leverage points for transformative change, including an emphasis on community, fundamentally different economic systems based on sharing and technological solutions to foster sustainability and human-nature connectedness. Debates included questioning the possibility of maintaining local biocultural diversity with increased connectivity globally and the prominence of technology for sustainability outcomes. These visions are the first step towards a wider galvanisation of youth visions for a brighter future, which is often missing in the arena where it can be taken seriously, to trigger more transformative pathways towards meeting global goals
Perceptions of uncertainty in family members of adult intensive care unit patients
Creators: name: Miller, Pamela Joan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This descriptive correlational study was designed to determine the level of uncertainty perceived by family members of adult ICU patients. The study investigated the relationship between the perceived level of uncertainty and illness severity. In addition, the study sought to explore family members’ subjective perceptions of factors which were related to uncertainty during the ICU experience. The Mishel (1988) theory of Uncertainty in Illness guided this study. A convenience sample of 30 family members of critically ill ICU patients completed the Family Member Version of the Parents Perception of Uncertainty in Illness Scale (PPUS—FM), the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for illness severity, and a demographic information sheet. In addition, 12 of the 30 family members participated in a semi—structured interview. The findings demonstrated wide variability in the family members’ perceived level of uncertainty. However, the majority of family members of ICU patients perceived moderately high levels of uncertainty. The nature of the uncertainty experienced appears to be primarily generated in response to ambiguity and unpredictability of the situation. The relationship between perceived uncertainty and illness severity was not statistically significant. Mishel’s (1988) theory of Uncertainty in Illness supports the possibility that this finding may be a function of the family member’s appraisal of the illness situation. Additional negative correlations, although not statistically significant, were found between the uncertainty factors of lack of clarity and lack of information and severity of illness. This suggests family members’ who receive less information may have a more positive, although not necessarily accurate, appraisal of the illness situation. The guided interviews revealed family members of ICU patients perceive similar uncertainties during the ICU experience. Uncertainty was related to the unpredictable illness or treatment situation, the unfamiliar environment and system of care and changes in family member functioning. The family member functioning theme is not accounted for in the Mishel (1988) framework, and appears to be primarily related to changing roles. Although a number of positive beliefs were used by family members to promote a hopeful outlook, responses indicated that most family members’ appraisal of uncertainty fluctuated between a danger and an opportunity appraisal.

Διερευνήσαμε την άποψή του, όπως εκφράζεται στα γραπτά του, για τη γλυπτική και τη ζωγραφική τέχνη. Επίσης σχολιάσαμε με λεπτομέρειες τα κοινά στοιχεία της Ιδέας του Πλάτωνα με τη σύγχρονη ζωγραφική. Ένα άλλο θέμα που θίξαμε ήταν η ανησυχία του Πλάτωνα για την αξία των τεχνών και συγκεκριμένα για την αξία της «καθαρής τέχνης». Τέλος εξετάσαμε τα κοινά σημεία που υπάρχουν στα κινήματα της τέχνης και στην φιλοσοφικές απόψεις του Πλάτωνα, μέσω της μελέτης της Ιστορίας της Τέχνης και της Νευροβιολογίας και διαπιστώσαμε την διαχρονική αξία των γραπτών του.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the established attitudes regarding the view of Plato on visual arts. We looked at the terminology used for “beauty” in a semiological and a historic perspective. Then we presented and explained Plato’s view and made comments on the visual arts of his time. We explored his view, as expressed in his writings, on the art of sculpture and painting. We also made comments in detail, on the common features between the Idea of Plato and modern painting. Another issue we referred to was Plato’s concern about the value of arts and in particular the value of “pure art”. Finally we looked at the common features which exist in the art movements and the philosophical views of Plato, through the study of the History of Art and Neurobiology and ascertained the –unaffected by time-value of his writings.

description: Multifunctional landscapes are used and shaped by a range of different stakeholders. The high number of diverging values, interests or demands in such landscapes can lead to conflicts that impact sustainability goals. In this study, our aim was to include stakeholders’ valuations of ecosystem services in multifunctionality assessments and thereby to identify different and possibly contradictory perspectives on landscape multifunctionality. Two European cultural landscapes, the Vereinigte Mulde (Germany) and the Kromme Rijn (The Netherlands), were used as case studies. Spatially explicit indicators of eleven ecosystem services were assessed and weighted according to their survey-based perceived importance for different stakeholder groups. While some significant differences between the groups were apparent, the results also revealed that all stakeholder groups acknowledge the importance of multiple ecosystem services. Stakeholder-specific multifunctionality hotspots occurred mainly in forests or grasslands and largely overlapped between the groups. Our study therefore clearly shows that the diversity of ecosystem services must be preserved in order to preserve the values that cultural landscapes offer to a wide range of people. While local solutions must be sought to resolve local land use conflicts over the use of ecosystem services, we conclude that multifunctionality can be declared a common goal.

The TNCR dataset can be used for table detection in scanned document images and their classification into 5 different classes. TNCR contains 9428 high-quality labeled images. In this paper, we have implemented state-of-the-art deep learning-based methods for table detection to create several strong baselines. Cascade Mask R-CNN with ResNeXt-101-64x4d Backbone Network achieves the highest performance compared to other methods with a precision of 79.7%, recall of 89.8%, and f1 score of 84.4% on the TNCR dataset. We have made TNCR open source in the hope of encouraging more deep learning approaches to table detection, classification, and structure recognition.

description: We discuss SAURON absorption line strength maps of a sample of 24 early-type spirals, mostly Sa. From the Lick indices H$β$, Mg b and Fe 5015 we derive SSP-ages and metallicities. By comparing the scaling relations of Mg b and H beta and central velocity dispersion with the same relation for the edge-on sample of Falcon-Barroso et al. (2002) we derive a picture in which the central regions of Sa galaxies contain at least 2 components: one (or more) thin, disc-like component, often containing recent star formation, and another, elliptical-like component, consisting of old stars and rotating more slowly, dominating the light above the plane. If one defines a bulge to be the component responsible for the light in excess of the outer exponential disc, then many Sa-bulges are dominated by a thin, disc-like component containing recent star formation.

description: We report high angular resolution, multi-epoch radio observations of the young pulsar PSR B1800-21. Using two pairs of data sets, each pair spanning approximately a ten year period, we calculate the proper motion of the pulsar. We obtain a proper motion of mu_alpha=11.6 +- 1.8 mas/yr, mu_delta=14.8 +- 2.3 mas/yr, which clearly indicates a birth position at the extreme edge of the W30 supernova remnant. Although this does not definitively rule out an association of W30 and PSR B1800-21, it does not support an association.

description: The effect of electrostatic gating on metallic elemental superconductors was recently demonstrated in terms of modulation of the switching current and control of the current phase relation in superconducting quantum interferometers. The latter suggests the existence of a direct connection between the macroscopic quantum phase in a superconductor and the applied gate voltage. The measurement of the switching current cumulative probability distributions (SCCPD) is a convenient and powerful tool to analyze such relation. In particular, the comparison between the conventional Kurkijarvi-Fulton-Dunkleberger model and the gate-driven distributions give useful insights into the microscopic origin of the gating effect. In this review, we summarize the main results obtained in the analysis of the phase slip events in elemental gated superconducting weak-links in a wide range of temperatures between 20 mK and 3.5 K. Such a large temperature range demonstrates both that the gating effect is robust as the temperature increases, and that fluctuations induced by the electric field are not negligible in a wide temperature range.

Pruning management of Leucaena leucocephala alleycropped with maize and cassava
Creators: name: Welke, Sylvia Eliesabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: An experiment was carried out to determine suitable pruning intervals for Leucaena leucocephala in an alley cropping system with maize and cassava in Southwestern Nigeria. I considered light and soil moisture limitations to crops in the system, in addition to nutrient contributions by Leucaena prunings to both crops and the soil. Pruning labour was also taken into account to provide an economic perspective. Marked reductions in maize yield were recorded when hedgerow pruning was delayed beyond 10 weeks after crop planting while cassava economic yield was not affected. I observed a general trend of taller plants with thinner stems when Leucaena hedgerows were not pruned or pruned at intervals of 8 weeks or less. Plants adjacent to the hedgerows were usually shorter than those in the middle of the alleys. I attributed the yield declines and growth effects to light limitations rather than soil moisture depletion by the hedgerows, although the potential for the latter could exist in drought. While productivity was affected by light reductions, there was no clear indication that Leucaena prunings contributed to crop growth. Differences in leaf nutrient content were obvious between treatments where hedgerows were pruned at least once a season and where they were not. Maize nutrition was likely satisfied by inorganic fertilizer and initial application of Leucaena pruning, but the same could not be established for cassava where nutrient concentrations were low. I suggest that prunings applied at or just after planting could contribute to crop nutrition, while subsequent prunings are instrumental in maintaining soil fertility. When costs of different pruning intervals were calculated, it was clear that pruning at least once during the maize growing season was advantageous. I briefly discuss some possible economic advantages and disadvantages of pruning every 4 and 8 weeks, or mid-season and at harvest. Upon integrating the biophysical and economic data gathered in the study, it is clear that hedgerow pruning can be delayed up to 10 weeks after planting for maize. For cassava, further studies are necessary in order to recommend pruning intervals for a maize/cassava intercrop in an alley cropping system.
Dependence of the BCS 1S0 superfluid pairing gap on nuclear interactions

description: We study in detail the dependence of the 1S0 superfluid pairing gap on nuclear interactions and on charge-independence breaking at the BCS level. Starting from chiral effective-field theory and conventional nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions, we use the renormalization group to generate low-momentum interactions V_{low k} with sharp and smooth regulators. The resulting BCS gaps are well constrained by the NN scattering phase shifts, and the cutoff dependence is very weak for sharp or sufficiently narrow smooth regulators with cutoffs Lambda > 1.6 fm^{-1}. It is therefore likely that the effect of three-nucleon interactions on 1S0 superfluidity is small at the BCS level. The charge dependence of nuclear interactions has a 10% effect on the pairing gap.

description: A two-component model is developed that consists of a discrete loop of cardiac cells that circulates action potentials together with a cardiac pacing mechanism. Physiological properties of cells such as restitutions of refractoriness and of conduction velocity are given via experimentally measured functions. The dynamics of circulating pulses and their interactions with the pacer are regulated by two threshold relations. Patterns of spontaneous initiations and terminations of reentry (SITR) generated by this system are studied through numerical simulations and analytical observations. These patterns can be regular or irregular; causes of irregularities are identified as the threshold bistability of reentrant circulation (T-bistability) and in some cases, also phase-resetting interactions with the pacer.

description: A transverse Zeeman slower composed of an array of compact discrete neodymium magnets is considered. A simple and precise model of such a slower based on magnetic dipoles is developed. The theory of a general Zeeman slower is modified to include spatial nonuniformity of the slowing laser beam intensity due to its convergence and absorption by slowed atoms. The slower needs no high currents or water cooling and the spatial distribution of its magnetic field can be adjusted. In addition the slower provides a possibility to cool the slowed atoms transversally along the whole length of the slower. Such a slower would be ideal for transportable optical atomic clocks and their future applications in space physics.

description: The subject of this dissertation is an in-depth analysis of matters relating to the exercise of legal remedies for ordinary joinder of parties and compulsory joinder of parties’ proceedings. Firstly, we introduce the notion, forms and procedural implications of both ordinary joinder of parties and compulsory joinder of parties’ proceedings. Subsequently, we deal with the locus standi of compulsory co-defendants on exercise of legal remedies in accordance with Article 76(4) of the Code of Civil Procedure, the legal consequences derived, and the renunciation right. Furthermore, we refer to the locus standi of ordinary co-defendants on exercise of legal remedies and examine the exceptional extension of validity of judgment issued on legal remedies under Article 537 of the Code of Civil Procedure upon inactive co-defendants as well as the conditions for application of the aforementioned Article. In addition, we look into issues in relation to the capacity to be sued for both ordinary and compulsory joinder of parties’ proceedings on exercise of legal remedies, and also raise the question of legal remedies addressed against co-defendants exercising the latter. Finally, we present the most significant conclusions, as per our opinion, as well as the major differences between ordinary joinder of parties and compulsory joinder of parties’ proceedings on exercise of legal remedies.

description: We present high spatial resolution integral-field spectroscopy of 28 elliptical (E) and lenticular (S0) galaxies from the SAURON representative survey obtained with the OASIS spectrograph during its operation at the CFHT. These seeing-limited observations explore the central 8"x10" (typically one kiloparsec diameter) regions of these galaxies using a spatial sampling four times higher than SAURON (0.27" vs. 0.94" spatial elements), resulting in almost a factor of two improvement in the median PSF. These data allow accurate study of the central regions to complement the large-scale view provided by SAURON. Here we present the stellar and gas kinematics, stellar absorption-line strengths and nebular emission-line strengths for this sample. We also characterise the stellar velocity maps using the "kinemetry" technique, and derive maps of the luminosity-weighted stellar age, metallicity and abundance ratio via stellar population models. We give a brief review of the structures found in our maps, linking also to larger-scale structures measured with SAURON. We present two previously unreported kinematically-decoupled components (KDCs) in the centres of NGC3032 and NGC4382. We compare the intrinsic size and luminosity-weighted stellar age of all the visible KDCs in the full SAURON sample, and find two types of components: kiloparsec-scale KDCs, which are older than 8 Gyr, and are found in galaxies with little net rotation; and compact KDCs, which have intrinsic diameters of less than a few hundred parsec, show a range of stellar ages from 0.5 - 15 Gyr (with 5/6 younger than 5 Gyr), are found exclusively in fast-rotating galaxies, and are close to counter-rotating around the same axis as their host.

description: Σκοπός της συγκεκριμένης έρευνας ήταν να εξετάσει τα γλωσσικά χαρακτηριστικά δίγλωσσων νηπίων που βρίσκονται σε επικινδυνότητα για ειδικές διαταραχές του λόγου. Γι' αυτό το λόγο επιλέχθηκαν τυχαία ορισμένα νηπιαγωγεία της Θεσσαλονίκης και μοιράστηκε στις νηπιαγωγούς το ερωτηματολόγιο ψυχογλωσσικών ικανοτήτων ΙΤΡΑ προκειμένου να τo συμπληρώσουν για τα δίγλωσσα παιδιά της τάξης τους. Έπειτα, κάποια από αυτά τα παιδιά εξετάστηκαν με το κριτήριο Μαθησιακής Επάρκειας Detroit, ώστε να βγουν εκτός εκείνα με χαρακτηριστικά Νοητικής Ανεπάρκειας. Το βασικό εργαλείο για το διαχωρισμό του δείγματος σε παιδιά Τυπικής Ανάπτυξης και παιδιά σε επικινδυνότητα για Διαταραχές Λόγου αποτέλεσε το Ψυχομετρικό Κριτήριο Γλωσσικής Επάρκειας ΛαΤω. Απ' ότι φαίνεται τα δίγλωσσα παιδιά σε επικινδυνότητα για διαταραχές του λόγου εμφανίζουν χαμηλότερα σκορ σε όλα τα τεστ και περισσότερες στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές μεταξύ των συνθέσεων των τεστ. Επίσης, οι νηπιαγωγοί φαίνεται να εμφανίζουν κάποια από τα παιδιά τυπικής ανάπτυξης να βρίσκονται σε επικινδυνότητα για διαταραχή λόγου, πιθανώς λόγω της διγλωσσίας τους.
description: The aim of this study was to examine the linguistic characteristics of bilingual preschoolers at risk for specific language impairment. For this reason some nursery schools in Thessaloniki were selected randomly and Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities ITPA was given to teachers in order to fill it in for bilingual preschoolers in their classroom. Then, some of these children were tested with Detroit Test of Learning Aptitude in order to exclude children with mental disabilities from the sample. The basic tool for the separation of the sample in children with typical development and children at risk for specific language impairmet was ΛαΤω Language Competence Test. It seems that bilingual children at risk for specific language impairment have lower scores on all tests and more statistically significant differences between parts of the tests. Also, preschool teachers seem to show some of the children with typical development to be at risk for specific language impairment, probably due to their bilingualism.

description: The ALMA Spectroscopic Survey in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (ASPECS) Band 6 scan (212-272 GHz) covers potential [CII] emission in galaxies at $6\leq z \leq8$ throughout a 2.9 arcmin$^2$ area. By selecting on known Lyman-$α$ emitters (LAEs) and photometric dropout galaxies in the field, we perform targeted searches down to a 5$σ$ [CII] luminosity depth $L_{\mathrm{[CII]}}\sim2.0\times10^8$ L$_{\odot}$, corresponding roughly to star formation rates (SFRs) of $10$-$20$ M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ when applying a locally calibrated conversion for star-forming galaxies, yielding zero detections. While the majority of galaxies in this sample are characterized by lower SFRs, the resulting upper limits on [CII] luminosity in these sources are consistent with the current literature sample of targeted ALMA observations of $z=6$-$7$ LAEs and Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs), as well as the locally calibrated relations between $L_{\mathrm{[CII]}}$ and SFR -- with the exception of a single [CII]-deficient, UV luminous LBG. We also perform a blind search for [CII]-bright galaxies that may have been missed by optical selections, resulting in an upper limit on the cumulative number density of [CII] sources with $L_{\mathrm{[CII]}}>2.0\times10^8$ L$_{\odot}$ ($5σ$) to be less than $1.8\times10^{-4}$ Mpc$^{-3}$ (90% confidence level). At this luminosity depth and volume coverage, we present an observed evolution of the [CII] luminosity function from $z=6$-$8$ to $z\sim0$ by comparing the ASPECS measurement to literature results at lower redshift.

description: We study theoretically two vibrating quantum emitters trapped near a one-dimensional waveguide and interacting with propagating photons. We demonstrate, that in the regime of strong optomechanical interaction the light-induced coupling of emitter vibrations can lead to formation of spatially localized vibration modes, exhibiting parity-time (PT ) symmetry breaking. These localized vibrations can be interpreted as topological defects in the quasiclassical energy spectrum.

description: Ένα πολύ σημαντικό θέμα που απασχολεί την ειδική αγωγή αλλά και την εκπαίδευση γενικότερα στις μέρες μας είναι αυτό της εκπαιδευτικής ένταξης. Παρότι τα σχολεία που είναι προσανατολισμένα στην ένταξη προσφέρουν σημαντικές ευκαιρίες για κοινωνική ενσωμάτωση, συχνά είναι πιθανόν να αφήνουν περιθώρια για κοινωνική απόρριψη. Δεδομένου ότι η γνώση και η κατανόηση της αναπηρίας σχετίζεται θετικά με τη δημιουργία θετικών στάσεων, η εφαρμογή και η αξιολόγηση κατάλληλα σχεδιασμένων προγραμμάτων ευαισθητοποίησης είναι επιβεβλημένη και θα πρέπει να γίνεται εγκαίρως έτσι ώστε να προωθείται η αρμονική συνύπαρξη των παιδιών με και χωρίς αναπηρίες εντός του σχολικού περιβάλλοντος αλλά και στο ευρύτερο κοινωνικό πλαίσιο. Η παρούσα μελέτη σχεδιάστηκε με σκοπό τον προσδιορισμό της επίδρασης ενός προγράμματος ψυχοκινητικής στις κινητικές δεξιότητες και στην πιθανή αλλαγή της συμπεριφοράς απέναντι στην αναπηρία, των μαθητών ενός τμήματος ένταξης, Α΄Δημοτικού. Το πρόγραμμα παρέμβασης περιελάμβανε την ανάγνωση και δραματοποίηση παραμυθιών με θέματα τη διαφορετικότητα και την αναπηρία. Το πρόγραμμα διήρκεσε 13 εβδομάδες και περιελάμβανε έντονα στοιχεία θεατρικού παιχνιδιού με κινητικές δραστηριότητες προσαρμοσμένες στο περιεχόμενο των παραμυθιών. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν θετική επίδραση του προγράμματος στις περισσότερες από τις μεταβλητές που αξιολογήθηκαν.
description: A very crucial issue in special education, as well as in education in general, is the integration itself in the educational system. Although integration oriented schools offer a wide range of opportunities for social integration, incidents of social rejection can not always be eradicated. Given that the knowledge and understanding of disability creates a tendency for positive attitudes toward it, the evaluation and timely implementation of specially designed awareness interventions is mandatory and it should take place to help children with and without disabilities coexist harmonically in and out of school. This study aims at determining the effect of an intervention program of psychomotor education on motor skills and the potential change in attitudes toward disability of students in the first grade of primary school. The intervention program consisted of reading and role-play of story tales promoting acceptance of disability and difference. The program lasted for 13 weeks and it incorporated intense elements of drama play adjusted to the story tales content. The results showed a positive significant effect on most variables evaluated.
Locke on ideas of substances and mixed modes
Creators: name: Ogawa, Yoshinori
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The object of this thesis is to cast a new light on Locke’s distinction between ideas of mixed modes and those of substances. The particular interest here is in Locke’s frequent remarks about the “arbitrariness” of ideas of mixed modes and the “non—arbitrariness” of ideas of substances. To develop a satisfactory account of the arbitrariness and non—arbitrariness of ideas, I take note of the fact that, in explaining the reality of ideas, Locke utilizes the difference in the manner in which the two types of complex ideas are made. Particularly, his remark that ideas of substances are all made in reference to actual things is considered. It will be seen, then, that to “refer” a complex idea to actual things is to suppose the conformity between the idea and them, and also that the “conformity” in this case is understood as the correspondence between the set of qualities specified by that idea and a set of qualities in nature or as the coexistence of such a set in nature. The arbitrariness and non—arbitrariness of the two types of complex ideas is thus explained in terms of the manners in which these ideas are made: while the formation of ideas of substances is propositional in nature, the formation of those of mixed modes is not. Furthermore, Locke’s distinction between ideas and propositions in terms of truth and falsity implies that the reference to actual things is extrinsic to our ideas. Hence, I shall conclude that, for Locke, the difference between ideas of mixed modes and those of substances is characterized as this: that as a contingent fact, ideas of substances are formed in reference to actual things whereas those of mixed modes are not.
