Geometric quantization on a coset space G/H is considered, intending to recover Mackey’s inequivalent quantizations. It is found that the inequivalent quantizations can be obtained by adopting the symplectic 2-form which leads to Wong’s equation. The irreducible representations of H which label the inequivalent quantizations arise from Weil’s theorem, which ensures a Hermitian bundle over G/H t...

Although obesity is associated with increased mortality rate and short-term weight loss improves risk factors for mortality, it has not been convincingly shown that weight loss among obese people results in reduced mortality rate. When considering the human literature, it has been pointed out that weight loss is often a sign of illness and that investigators therefore need to separate intention...

One goal of moral psychologists is to understand the cognitive processes that support and influence human moral judgment. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this task has proven to be quite daunting. Moral psychology, as well as moral philosophy and anthropology have revealed great diversity in human moral judgment. Moral philosophers have debated ethics for centuries, yet to this day display a wide diver...

INTRODUCTION The current sociopolitical climate and context of the Affordable Care Act have led some to question the future role of family planning clinics in reproductive health care. We explored where women plan to get their future contraception, pelvic exam/pap smears, and sexually transmitted infection testing, with a focus on the role of family planning clinics. METHODS Data were drawn f...
