Modal Logic and Modal Metaphysics: An Avicennian Division of Labour
ABSTRACT This paper argues that Avicenna was both a necessitarian and a realist about contingency. The two aspects of his modal metaphysics are reconciled by arguing that Avicenna's modal metaphysics is founded on realism about essences: strictly speaking, an individual has no contingent properties, but a modal distinction can be made between the ...

Kripke's Reduction of Löb's Theorem to the Second Incompleteness Theorem
ABSTRACT In this paper, we discuss Kripke's reduction of Löb's Principle to the Second Incompleteness Theorem. We have a closer look at the non‐constructive character of the reduction. We reflect on what the argument has to tell us. In the Appendix, We give a strengthening of Löb's Principle suggested by Kripke's reduction.

On computing local monodromy and the numerical local irreducible decomposition
Abstract Similarly to the global case, the local structure of a holomorphic subvariety at a given point is described by its local irreducible decomposition. Geometrically, the key requirement for obtaining a local irreducible decomposition is to compute the local monodromy action of a generic linear projection at the given point, which is always well ...

ABSTRACT This work introduces a novel Tolerance‐Based Clustering Framework (MMLTC) framework for affective analytics of multimodal/multilingual content in social media. A key feature of the MMLTC framework is its ability to overcome limitations of prior tolerance‐based classifiers through the construction of label specific pure tolerance classes ...

Abstract Aim Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) presents a therapeutic challenge, characterised by a paucity of validated treatments. Emerging data suggest that targeting adiposity is central to HFpEF pathogenesis. We conducted an updated network meta‐analysis to compare the efficacy of emerging and established HFpEF therapies ...
