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.

Data-driven sustainable ship design using Axiomatic Design and Bayesian Network Model

Environmental sustainability, as well as social and economic well-being, must be considered in every stage of a product lifecycle, from conceptual design to its retirement. Even though this sustainability-centric approach represents a critical driver for

A Persisting Equivalence

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In several articles, McCall and Lowe have claimed that endurantism and perdurantism are “equivalent.” From this, they conclude that there is no fact of the matter as to whether we live in an endurantist world or in a perdurantist world. In this paper, I use the notion of Morita equivalence to show in which precise sense, McCall and Lowe's ...

Inequality of Opportunity in a Multiperiod Framework

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper offers a simple model to evaluate and measure inequality of opportunity in a multiperiod framework, in which both circumstances and effort may change over time. We adopt a norm‐based approach and an axiomatic methodology: we first characterise two alternative definitions of a ‘fair distribution’, associated respectively with the ex ...

Multimodal Deep Learning for Predicting Deep Vein Thrombosis Risk After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Clinical Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Implementing a dual‐branch architecture where ViT‐B/16 or ResNet50 processed standardized radiographs (metal artifact suppression, 512 × 512 resolution) while Clinical‐BERT encoded structured electronic records. A novel dynamic attention mechanism generated sample‐specific weights (α) for feature fusion (α·v_img + (1‐α)·v_txt), with performance ...

Track Record Arguments in Normative Ethics

Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Track record arguments (TRAs) contend that it speaks in favor of an ethical theory (such as utilitarianism) if many of its past proponents had moral views that were controversial at their time but which we now consider to be clearly true (e.g., women's equal rights in 18th century Europe). This paper explores how to construct potentially sound

Room for Improvement: Why Finitist Arguments Do Not Check Out

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine several new and underexplored arguments for the finitude of the past and the impossibility of Hilbert's Hotel. The first argument concludes that Hilbert's Hotel is impossible due to an alleged contradiction arising from the causal powers of infinitely many guests.

On the Naturalistic Grounds of Grounding

Ratio, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines whether grounding can be naturalized. We adopt a tripartite framework—Ocat (scientific catalogue of existents), Otyp (ontological types), and metaphysics (natures/modal profiles)—and show that classifying as such the relata of putative grounding claims forces a dilemma.
