By examining Dainton's account of the temporality of consciousness in the context of long-running debates about the specious present and time consciousness in both the Jamesian and the phenomenological traditions, I raise critical objections to his overlap model. Dainton's interpretations of Broad and Husserl are both insightful and problematic. In addition, there are unresolved problems in Dai...

Background & aim: Postpartum period is accompanied by significant changes in women’s quality of life. These alterations can affect the health of mothers and children. Considering the importance of postnatal quality of life and its different contributing factors, this study aimed to compare women’s quality of life after vaginal delivery and cesarean section. Methods:This retrospective cohort stu...

David Chalmers (2010) argues for an acquaintance theory of the justification of direct phenomenal beliefs. A central part of this defense is the claim that direct phenomenal beliefs are cognitively significant. I argue against this. Direct phenomenal beliefs are justified within the specious present, and yet the resources available with the present ‘now’ are so impoverished that it barely const...

Annually resolved temperature records spanning the past few centuries are limited in Southwest China. In this paper, we present a robust 250-year winter minimum reconstruction based on tree rings of Abies georgei Orr from Luoji Mountain, The exhibit significant correlations with temperatures (Tmin) previous November to current March (pNov–cMar). Based relationship, reconstructed pNov-cMar Tmin ...

in urban areas the world over the past several decades was associated with an exponential growth of population, which led to widespread changes in land use urban and land cover. therefore, in this study, the daily temperature data from 1951 to 2010 at the synoptic station shiraz 60-year period were reviewed. then the average daily temperature average was five days into quintile. results of clus...

in his seminal book on the historical periods of western attitudes toward death, philippe aries describes four consecutive periods through which these attitudes evolved and transformed. according to him, the historical attitudes of western cultures have passed through four major parts described above: “tamed death,” one’s own death,” “thy death,” and “forbidden death.” this paper, after explori...

three stocking densities (20, 40, and 60 sheep/ha) were applied in four stocking periods (0, 2, 4, and 6 weeks) on a medicago truncatula cv. paraggio pasture. treatments were arranged in a split plot system and compared through a completely randomised block design with four replications.grazing period had a significant effect (p

[1] We present a high-resolution climate record from a sediment core spanning an 80-kyr interval of time during the mid-Pliocene epoch, when warmer conditions and lower global ice volume prevailed worldwide. Oxygen and carbon isotope analyses were made on benthic and planktonic foraminifera from ODP Site 981 in the North Atlantic. The amplitude and approximate recurrence interval of suborbital ...
