Can we repudiate ontology altogether?
Noûs, EarlyView.Abstract Ontological nihilists repudiate ontology altogether, maintaining that ontological structure is an unnecessary addition to our theorizing. Recent defenses of the view involve a sophisticated combination of highly expressive but ontologically innocent languages combined with a metaphysics of features—non‐objectual, complete but modifiable states

Aggregation and the Structure of Value
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Roughly, the view I call “Additivism” sums up value across time and people. Given some standard assumptions, I show that Additivism follows from two principles. The first says that how lives align in time cannot, in itself, matter. The second says, roughly, that a world cannot be better unless it is better within some period or another.

Is A Little Learning Dangerous?
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT I argue that a little learning is often dangerous even for ideal reasoners who are operating in extremely simple scenarios and know all the relevant facts about how the evidence is generated. More precisely, I show that, on many plausible ways of assigning value to a credence in a hypothesis H, ideal Bayesians should sometimes expect other ...

Electromyographic Assessment of Sleep Bruxism in Patients With Periodontitis: A Case–Control Study
Oral Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective The relationship between periodontitis and bruxism has always been a matter of debate. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the association between advanced stages of periodontitis (Stage III/IV) and the intensity and duration of sleep bruxism events, measured as bruxism work index (BWI) and bruxism time index (BTI) through

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Laws play some role in explanations: at the very least, they somehow connect what is explained, or the explanandum, to what explains, or the explanans. Thus, thermodynamical laws connect the match's being struck and its lightning, so that the former causes the latter; and laws about set formation connect Socrates' existence with {Socrates}'s ...

A Collapse Result in the Mereology of Properties
Ratio, EarlyView.ABSTRACT I examine five principles about the metaphysics of properties, each of which has been defended in the literature: (1) the sum of properties is their corresponding conjunctive property, (2) the mereology of properties is classical, (3) properties are individuated by necessary co‐instantiation, (4) sums of objects belonging to different ...

Reversal of economic integration: evidence from European Union enlargement
The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Empirical models of trade agreements implicitly assume that withdrawal from a trade agreement has an equal and opposite trade effect as accession (i.e., symmetry). With increasing opposition to international economic cooperation, it becomes urgent to test this assumption.

Dimension reduction for optimal design problems with Kronecker product structure
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract This paper is motivated by the problem of optimal allocation of trials in multi‐environment crop variety testing with a large number of varieties. Optimizing the allocation of trials results in the minimization of a design criterion with a Kronecker product structure in the information matrix.

Image of mathematics: A case study of two women's early mathematics experiences
School Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.Abstract People often view mathematics as abstract, cold, and irrelevant to real life, and their school experiences likely influence such views. In this case study, we investigated the mathematics experiences of two women who participated in an afterschool girls‐only STEM club 30 years ago when they were in fifth and sixth grades.
