Life, but Not as We Know It: Why Fine‐Tuning Arguments Fail
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Definitions of “life” and theories of life are systematically neglected in arguments for and from fine‐tuning. Despite claims to be neutral about the definition of “life,” fine‐tuning arguments generally presuppose that life requires a form of structural complexity only afforded by physicochemical complexity of the sort with which we are ...

Structural Variations Contribute to Subspeciation and Yield Heterosis in Rice
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Yield heterosis has been extensively exploited in hybrid breeding, with intersubspecific hybrids often exhibiting the most pronounced effects. However, developing elite hybrids remains a laborious and time‐consuming process. The genetic basis of heterosis has been debated for over a century, hindered largely by the lack of high‐quality genomes.

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Determinism is (roughly) the thesis that the past determines the future. But efforts to define it precisely have exposed deep methodological disagreements. Standard possible‐worlds formulations of determinism presuppose an “agreement” relation between worlds, but this relation can be understood in multiple ways, none of which is particularly ...

Cognitive Testing Practices for Basic Military Training in the Nordic Countries: A Scoping Review
Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Nordic countries have a long tradition of using general mental ability (GMA) tests as part of their military conscription process, a practice that began in the mid‐20th century. These Nordic tests were developed with a dual purpose—to filter out individuals unfit for military service and to rank individuals' GMA for military roles—and they

Understanding and truth in Hannah Arendt: The critical reception of the Eichmann trial and the will
The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract This article highlights a shift in Hannah Arendt's intellectual development regarding the will during the 1960s, traced into the early 1970s when she focused on thinking, willing, and judging. I argue that this change was driven by reactions to her report on Adolf Eichmann's 1961 trial in Eichmann in Jerusalem (1963).
