The Emergence of the Intuition of Truth in Mathematical Thought
No full textIn this contribution regarding the emergent character of the intuition of truth in mathematics, S. Galvan examines the feasibility of applying the category of emergence to the hierarchy of formal systems and to the hierarchy of the evidence systems which are their correlates. This hierarchy is a direct consequence of the phenomenon of incompleteness, in its various forms that result from Godel's theorems. Hence the contribution explores the meaning of the most significant form of incompleteness resulting from Godel's theorems, namely the omega-incompleteness of arithmetic theories, and examines some methods able to remedy this form of incompleteness. In particular, two ways are explored to overcome the incompleteness of primitive recursive arithmetic PRA: the first consists in the use of an explicit Tarskian theory of truth and the second is hased on a notion of truth as non-finitary evidentiability. In both cases, the determination of the theory's consistency always requires the emergent character of truth from derivability; in the first case, due to the non-finitary extensional character of the model-theoretical notion of truth (inasmuch as the objectual domain is understood in an actualistic sense) and, in the second, because of the abstract intensional character of the soundness proof within a non-conservative extension of PRA. To operate according to principles hased on forms of evidence that are abstract and open to novelty is very different from operating in accordance with the computational logic of a machine. The Galvan' contribution shows how the mind follows its own paths in discovering the truth and the modalities of its justification, this being due to the fact that this undertaking cannot be restricted to the use of only concrete contents and their finite combinations. The author argues that it follows that a cognitive system endowed with the capability of intending the abstract is characterized by a relationship to the ohject which is not one of reception but of presence. The object is known insofar as it is present to the system and not as a mere source of stimuli elaborated by the system. This relationship shows the mark of the emergent novelty, which is the mark of the emergence of consciousness, which in its turn is a pre-condition af the presence af an object to the cognitive system

This species is named after Prof. Néstor Bautista Martínez who was a doctorate advisor of the first author and had dedicated most parts of his life to the Mexican insects of agricultural importance. The species epithet is a noun in the genitive case.</p> <p> <i>Host plant</i>. Ericaceae — <i>Vaccinium ashei</i> Reade.</p> <p> <i>Remarks</i>. This new species has been found only in a small area of the Puebla state in Mexico. An expanded inventory on blueberry farms in other states may reveal the broader distribution of the species than depicted in the present article. Another congener, <i>E. vaquero</i> Sohn widely occurs in Arizona, United States and Veracruz, Mexico (Sohn & Nishida 2011). This species seems associated with the blueberry family, likewise other congeners but its host plants remain unknown.</p> 2. Biology <p> Larvae of <i>E. nestori</i> <b>n. sp.</b> were observed almost all year round. The new <i>Eucalantica</i> species was found in all the sampled plantations in the surveyed region but the economic damage it causes is still unknown. On the infested blueberries, they feed on young shoots and flowers, except in the months of hibernation when the foliage is reddish and soon later dropped. The larvae primarily feed on leaves, leaving only the leaf skeletons. A silken net produced by the larva for protection can be seen among the leaves. The nest can be confused with ones of tortricids associated with blueberries. The silken web of the larva can often be expanded to flowers. In such cases, the larvae feed on the pistil and stamens and completely destroy the whole flowers (Fig. 2A). Because they are borers, most of the damage is observed in young vegetative buds (Fig. 2B). The infested shoots show initially wilting of stems and leaves, followed by a color change to reddish brown and finally necrosis. The shoots then bend into a cane shape and remain on the plant for several months (Figs 2D, E). The damaged shoots have an average length of five to 12 cm, and in the lower part a circular orifice can be observed where the larva enters and exits and where its excreta are expelled (Fig. 2C). When the larva is fully developed, it leaves the shoot and seeks refuge for pupation in the leaves nearby. The pupa develops inside a silken cocoon.</p>Published as part of <i>Ruiz-Galvan, Isabel & Sohn, Jae-Cheon, 2023, A new species of Eucalantica Busck (Lepidoptera, Yponomeutidae) poses potential concerns on blueberry industry in Mexico, pp. 287-292 in Zootaxa 5351 (2)</i> on pages 288-290, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5351.2.6, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/8391619">http://zenodo.org/record/8391619</a>
Criando Cartilha Médicas!: Elaboração e Descrição de uma Unidade Temática para o Ensino de Português a Estudantes de Medicina da UNILA
Get PDFTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso apresentado ao Instituto Latino-Americano de Arte, Cultura e História da Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana, como requisito parcial à obtenção do título de Licenciado em Letras – Espanhol e Português como Línguas Estrangeiras.O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar o processo de elaboração de uma unidade temática para o ensino de português, no nível básico, como língua estrangeira, a estudantes do curso de medicina da UNILA. O suporte teórico-metodológico do trabalho é o Ensino de Línguas por Tarefas. Neste trabalho desenvolve-se uma reflexão sobre as etapas de criação da unidade tendo em conta três momentos: pré-tarefa, ciclo da tarefa, e pós-tarefa. Promove-se uma descrição sobre cada etapa que compõe esta unidade, os conteúdos trabalhados e os ajustes necessários de acordo com cada tópico gramatical com especial atenção às especificidades do par linguístico espanhol-português. Para tanto, optou-se pelo gênero cartilha após a análise de questionários respondidos por docentes da Medicina e do Projeto Político Pedagógico do curso. Ao mesmo tempo, houve a preocupação de inserir na unidade orientações e sugestões aos docentes de modo que o material possa ser ampliado e utilizado em diferentes níveis. Por último, propõe-se três tabelas de (auto)avaliação: a primeira tabela avalia o entendimento dos alunos sobre o gênero discursivo cartilha; a segunda avalia a produção de cartilhas e a terceira a compreensão de tópicos gramaticais, seu uso e funcionamento. Em tal contexto, acredita-se que a unidade temática “Criando Cartilhas Médicas” contribui para um processo de ensino-aprendizagem mais colaborativo e autônomo, para desenvolver no aluno a capacidade de compreender e produzir o gênero de acordo com diferentes contextos, e promover automonitoramento e consciência linguística
Basal Ganglia Neurons in Healthy and Parkinsonian Primates Generate Recurring Sequences of Spikes
No full textThese data are the source data for the manuscript entitled "Basal Ganglia Neurons in Healthy
and Parkinsonian Primates Generate Recurring Sequences of Spikes", authored by Adriana Galvan
and Thomas Wichmann (Emory University, Atlanta, GA).
The data are interspike interval measurements generated from electrophysiological recordings
of spontaneous spiking activities of single neurons in the basal ganglia of awake monkeys, before
and after rendering them parkinsonian by treatment with MPTP. THe animals were not engaged in any
task or other structured activity.
The data format is a one-column listing of successive interspike intervals, and are presented in
milliseconds. The data are structured into different folders:
GPe normal - data collected in the external pallidal segment, under normal conditions
GPe MPTP - data collected in the external pallidal segment, under parkinsonian conditions
STN normal - data collected in the subthalamic nucleus, under normal conditions
STN MPTP - data collected in the subthalamic nucleus, under parkinsonian conditions
GPi normal - data collected in the internal pallidal segment, under normal conditions
GPi MPTP - data collected in the internal pallidal segment, under parkinsonian conditions
A 'Read Me' file is included, containing these explanations.

Open Negotiation Education for Academic Libraries – Introducing the ONEAL Project
No full textCAUL welcomes the team from the ONEAL Project who will speak about the valuable work the organisation provides in developing curricula and open educational resources to support negotiation education for academic libraries and Master of Library Science (MLS/MLIS) programs. These resources introduce negotiation theory and practical strategy using academic library context of negotiating vendor agreements.
The open curriculum will include introductions to critical issues in academic libraries as they intersect with contract negotiations such as user privacy, platform governance, emerging publishing models, author rights, and computational collections research. Speaking on behalf of the ONEAL Project will be Katharine V. Macy (Project Director/Principal Investigator), Scarlet Galvan (Co-Principal Investigator. Collection Strategist Librarian, Grand Valley State University Libraries) and Courtney Fuson (Co-Principal Investigator. Asset Management Librarian and Subject Liaison to Education at Belmont University). This session will be highly useful for library staff experienced with licence negotiations as well as those with less experience, and those likely to be involved in negotiations in future
Promoter polymorphisms and transcript levels of nicotinic receptor CHRNA5
No full textChromosomal locus 15q25, implicated in lung cancer risk and nicotine dependence, shows extensive linkage disequilibrium that complicates identification of causal variation. Cholinergic receptor nicotinic α5 (CHRNA5) has been identified as a lung cancer risk factor. We identified by sequence analysis three haplotypes (delTTC, insATC, and insTGG) in the 5′ promoter region and three at the 3′-untranslated region of CHRNA5. Linkage disequilibrium analysis of the 5′ variants showed that the insTGG haplotype is associated with three tightly linked risk alleles (nicotine dependence, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). The three CHRNA5 promoter haplotypes were statistically significantly associated with lung CHRNA5 transcript levels, determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction. In nontumor lung parenchyma from 68 patients who underwent lung lobectomy, the delTTC haplotype was associated with the highest CHRNA5 transcript levels (relative quantification units = 1.82), whereas the insTGG haplotype was associated with the lowest (0.88 units, Pdiff <. 001, Welch t test; all statistical tests were two-sided). Luciferase reporter assays in human lung cancer cell lines A549, H460, H520, and H596 also showed that the 5′ region haplotypes were statistically significantly associated with changes in CHRNA5 promoter activity, whereas the 3′-untranslated region variants were not. © 2010 The Author
Unconventionality and Judgment in Thomas Hardy’s The Mayor of Casterbridge
Get PDFMy thesis explores Thomas Hardy’s vision and his complexity as an author, primarily through his work "The Mayor of Casterbridge". I seek to draw conclusions about Hardy's overall purpose for this specific work and as an author in general by closely analyzing "The Mayor of Casterbridge" in regards to its complicated narration, characterization, genre, and format. Ultimately, I argue that Hardy's subtle manipulation of these seemingly ordinary techniques is a defining feature of this work. By analyzing Hardy's literary deviations from the norm, I hope to prove that Hardy's "The Mayor of Casterbridge" is both complex and judgmental; and that his judgment is not only toward his characters, but his readers as well.No embargoAcademic Major: Englis
