Monitoring approaches to consciousness claim that a mental state is conscious when it is suitably monitored. Higher-order monitoring theory makes the monitoring state and the monitored state logically independent. Same-order monitoring theory claims a constitutive, non-contingent connection between the monitoring state and the monitored state. In this paper, I articulate different versions of t...

Analyzing pseudo-telepathy graph games, we propose a way to build contextuality scenarios exhibiting the quantum supremacy using graph states. We consider the combinatorial structures generating equivalent scenarios. We investigate which scenarios are more multipartite and show that there exist graphs generating scenarios with a linear multipartiteness width.

Europe has become a vivid example of intergroup dynamics with all the risks and chances it holds for peaceful and respectful co-existence. While Europe as a superordinate social category has the capability of solidarity between its subcategories (i.e., nations), negative emotions and behaviors among the countries’ citizens have become more prevalent throughout the emerging crisis.

In this paper, we address the relevance of recreational foraging, picking berries and mushrooms, for developing connection to nature what happens when that practice is interrupted by drastic landscape change. We use site largest forest fire in modern Swedish history as a case examining foraging. previous studies, positive associations have been observed between activity mushrooms with landscape...

viral hepatitis, as an international public health concern, seriously affects communities and health system. in recent years, great strides have been taken for development of new potential tools against viral hepatitis. among these efforts, a valuable strategy introduced new molecules called “aptamers”. aptamers as potential alternatives for antibodies could be directed against any protein in i...
