Social Support in the Perinatal Period: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Life Course Antecedents

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Social support facilitates physical and mental health in the perinatal period for parents and their children. Yet, little is known about what predicts who will have access to support during this uniquely challenging time. From a life course perspective, the foundations of perinatal social support are likely to be evident well before

Effect of vertical distance between the heart base and the cuff on arterial blood pressure measurements using PetMAP in anaesthetised dogs

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives To evaluate how variations in limb positioning, when compared with standard position at the heart base, affect oscillometric arterial blood pressure measurements in 22 anaesthetised healthy dogs. Materials and Methods The thoracic vertical depth was measured in each dog from the caudal angle of the scapula to the body of the sternum caudal ...

How Are “Financial Balances” Financed? Wicksell, (Keynes) and the US Mainstream Don't Fit Today's Institutions; Kalecki, Triffin, and Minsky Got it Right

Metroeconomica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paper examines the financial balances of the US economy. Government is the main borrower and households and the foreign sector the main lenders. Business net lending is minimal. The balances and their underlying transactions contradict the loanable funds theory and its “global savings glut” variation.

Friendly Fire: Did Margaret Macdonald Contribute to Susan Stebbing's Exclusion from the History of Analytic Philosophy?

Metaphilosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents the case of Margaret Macdonald's (1903–1956) posthumous treatment of Susan Stebbing (1885–1943). After Stebbing's death, Macdonald—her Ph.D. student and collaborator—wrote an early history of analytic philosophy in which Stebbing's work is credited to Bertrand Russell (specifically, her account of ‘directional analysis ...

Error detection is not necessary for representation

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Some philosophers have recently proposed an error detection condition (EDC) for representation, such that for R$$ R $$ to be a representation for system S$$ S $$, S$$ S $$ must be capable of detecting errors in tokenings of R$$ R $$. We argue that this condition is unmotivated, and that it is too strong. We show that theories of representation that are

Teleosemantics for neural word embeddings

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
This paper applies a consumer‐based teleosemantic framework to give a detailed analysis of a particular algorithm for generating word embeddings. In the process, it addresses several of the challenges facing teleosemantic approaches to artificial neural networks.

Are there norms of rationality for perception? Evaluating experience‐forming processes under Bayesian norms

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
According to the rationality of perception thesis, perceptual processes and experiences can be rationally appraised. This thesis raises the questions of whether there can be norms of rationality for perception, and what they could be. Here, to answer these questions, we consider Bayesian norms as possible candidates.

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 ...

Cross‐ploidy hybridisation in Alpine woodrushes is associated with ecological additivity and scale‐dependent niche divergence

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Genetic differentiation among the study species. Summary Hybridisation and whole‐genome duplication (WGD) are widespread in plants, yet their ecological consequences remain challenging to predict. In allopolyploids, where both processes coincide, ecological divergence is typically evaluated against a null hypothesis of ecological additivity.

Do State Lotteries Exploit their Lottery Power? Optimal Lotto Pricing With Heterogeneous Players: Evidence from the United Kingdom

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a new model of revenue‐maximising lottery pricing under income‐related heterogeneity and apply it to 13 years of UK National Lottery data. Our pricing rule shows how a state's lottery power is shaped by heterogeneities in lotto demand and the income distribution, and we study its efficiency and distributional implications.
