This paper is a humble homage to Enric Trillas. Following his foundational contributions on models of ordinary reasoning in an algebraic setting, we study here elements of these models, like conjectures and hypothesis, in the logical framework of continuous t-norm based fuzzy logics. We consider notions of consistency, conjecture and hypothesis arising from two natural families of consequence o...

This article takes four looks at the status of prevention in psychiatry. The first glance is critical, shaped by disappointment at the slow progress in the understanding of psychiatric diseases and the lack of promise in prevention. The second look is less humble. It characterizes and acknowledges the efforts made so far. The third and the fourth perspectives optimistically announce a new age i...

In proportion to our body mass, our brain is three times as large as that of our nearest relatives. This huge organ is dangerous and painful to give birth to, expensive to build and, in a resting human, uses about 20 percent of the body's energy even though it is just 2 percent of the body's weight. There must be some reason for this evolutionary expense [1]. Recently, I lost one of my aunts. S...

Our vision is that the heterogeneous control and security systems should be loosely but effectively integrated by the platform that generates the virtual models of the infrastructure. The introduced VR platform aims to integrate...

C ataract surgery has received more than its fair share of controversy. Senior figures in medicine, both ophthalmological and non-ophthalmological, have referred to cataract surgery as minor surgery, and advocated the deployment of non-medically qualified personnel. But ‘‘minor op’’ it certainly is not. There is a minute margin of error, with an anterior chamber volume of only 0.25 ml, the dept...
