Abstract Aggregative moral theories face a series of devastating problems when we apply them in physically realistic setting. According to current physics, our universe is likely infinitely large , and will contain many morally valuable events. But standard aggregative are ill-equipped compare outcomes containing infinite total value. So, applied setting, they cannot any real-world agent must e...

When developing code, a programmer typically knows the approximate structure of the desired expression. However, often the first attempt at writing it down results in an ill-typed code fragment. We propose an approach that automatically repairs code expressions based on the provided almost-correct code. Such a code repair can be applied in interactive scenarios like advanced code completion, as...

Verbal/vocal interactions of three Japanese mother-child dyads were examined when the children were 1;0, 1;2 to 1;3, 1;6 to 1;7, and 1;8 to 1;9 to determine whether mothers provide information which may facilitate the elaboration of child lexical forms during the transition from the prelinguistic to the linguistic period. Mothers were likely to reproduce only the child's word-like utterances, b...

Methods for the restoration of circulating blood volume, including the use of intravenous fluids, have been widely discussed over many years. There are no clear guidelines regarding the type of solutions, the total volume that should be transfused, or time schedules. Colloid solutions, usually hydroxyethyl starch compositions, are probably the most commonly used volume expanders in resuscitatio...

the objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and incidence of venous thromboembolism among critically ill medical surgical patients. in this cross sectional and retrospective study, we observed 243 patients who were first admitted at the intensive care unit. patients who were diagnosed with deep venous thrombosis or embolism either by clinical or paraclinical methods were enrolle...

A particular application of the biopsychosocial model is associated in peer-reviewed literature and patient testimony with harms done to chronically ill disabled people. These derive from an empirically unsubstantiated, neoliberal narrative emphasising role personal responsibility effort ‘recovery’ ill-health, ignoring socio-structural contributors chronic illness disability. Notably, this igno...
