Externalism, inclusion, and knowledge of content

2003

En este trabajo abordo la cuestión de si el autoconocimiento es compatible con una individuación externista del contenido mental. En contra de algunas posiciones, considero el autoconocimiento como un logro cognitivo genuino. Aunque no es incorregible ni infalible, el autoconocimiento es directo (no inferencial), a priori (no basado en la investigación empírica), y dotado de especial autoridad y presunción de verdad. El problema consiste en saber si el autoconocimiento, así entendido, es compatible con el externismo. Mi respuesta será afirmativa. Defenderé esta clase de compatibilismo frente a distintas objeciones, sobre todo aquellas que se basan en la posibilidad de que un individuo sea s…

Self-knowledge and content externalism

1999

El externismo concibe el significado de las expresiones y el contenido de las actitudes mentales como determinados, en parte, por relaciones del sujeto con su entorno natural o social. Un problema central para el externismo es su aparente incompatibilidad con el autoconocimiento (el privilegio del Cogito cartesiano). La tesis central del artículo es que externismo y autoconocimiento, contra esta apariencia, son realmente compatibles. A favor de esta tesis arguyo que el externismo, correctamente entendido, no implica que un cambio en el entorno conlleve ipso facto un cambio en el significado y el contenido intencional. Esta versión del externismo, que denomino “externismo normativo”, posee u…

Disease dispersion as a spatial interaction: The case of Flavescence Dorée

2020

International audience; Flavescence dorée is a serious and incurable vine disease transmitted by an insect vector. Focusing on its spatial diffusion and on its control with pesticides, this paper investigates the private strategies of wine producers and their socially optimal counterparts. The socially optimal regulation has to address two externalities regarding private treatment decisions: (a) the insufficient consideration of collective benefits from controlling the vector populations; (b) the failure to take into account environmental damage related to pesticide application. The probability of infection is estimated on French data from a spatial econometric specification. Three alternat…

3D nanoscale ordered architectures in thin films for organic electronics

2011

Order in molecular thin films is of fundamental importance to gain and exploit a series of properties in nanotechnology. In this contest, engineering 2D supramolecular and molecular superstructures is of particular interest. They offer great possibilities for several applications whose achievement also allows for new theoretical approaches and nanoscale laws [1]. A natural extension of 2D nanopatterning concerns the attainment of a 3D nanoscale control in molecular films [2]. This question is complex to challenge and it is of ultimate importance in emerging fields like organic and hybrid photovoltaics, organic thin film transistors and sensors as well as plastic electronics. For example, th…

Adolescents’ and mothers’ temperament types and their roles in early adolescents’ socioemotional functioning

2018

The present study examined adolescents’ and mothers’ temperament types and their roles in the socioemotional functioning of early adolescents. A total of 869 sixth-grade students and 668 mothers participated in the study. The students rated their temperament and socioemotional functioning and the mothers rated their own temperament. Latent profile analyses identified four temperament types among the adolescents (resilient, reserved, average, and mixed) and three types among the mothers (resilient, average, and mixed). The results showed that the adolescents with resilient or reserved temperaments reported significantly fewer conduct problems and emotional symptoms, less hyperactivity, and …

The [Fe(etz)6](BF4)2 Spin-Crossover System—Part One: High-Spin ⇌ Low-Spin Transition in Two Lattice Sites

1996

The [Fe(etz),](BF,), spin-cross-over system (etz = 1-ethyl-1 H-tetrazole) crystallizes in space group P1, with the following lattice constants at 298 K: a 10.419(3), b=15.709(1), c = 18.890(2) A = = 71.223(9), =77.986(10), and = 84.62(1)° V = 2862.0(9) A3 and Z = 3. Two nonequivalent lattice sites, one without (site A) and one with (site B) inversion symmetry, are observed. The population of the two sites nA:nB is 2:l. Iron(II) on site A undergoes a thermal low-spin (LS) high-spin (HS) transition with T1/2I, = 105 K. whereas that on site B remains in the high-spin state down to cryogenic temperatures. Application of external pressure of up to 1200 bar between 200 and 60 K does not cause for…

Aim of the study was the development and validation of the psychometric properties of a six-item bi-factorial instrument for the assessment of social support (emotional and tangible support) with a population-based sample. A cross-sectional data set of N = 15,010 participants enrolled in the Gutenberg Health Study (GHS) in 2007–2012 was divided in two sub-samples. The GHS is a population-based, prospective, observational single-center cohort study in the Rhein-Main-Region in western Mid-Germany. The first sub-sample was used for scale development by performing an exploratory factor analysis. In order to test construct validity, confirmatory factor analyses were run to compare the extracted …

External, emotional and restrained eating in normal- and overweight French children: do parents and children agree?

2016

The Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire for Children (DEBQ-C; van Strien & Oosterveld, 2008) was developed to assess external eating (EXT), emotional eating (EMO), and restriction (RES) in 7- to 12-years-old. The aim of this study was to compare children and parents' views of children's eating behaviour according to children's weight status in a sample of French participants. Children were asked about their own eating behaviour and parents were asked about their children's eating behaviour using the DEBQ-C in the child- and parent-report forms, respectively. One hundred and thirty families participated (n=55 overweight children, ow; n=75 normal-weight children, nw; children were weighted a…

Externalidades de la inversión directa exterior sobre la actividad emprendedora local : un enfoque institucional en Latinoamérica

2013

Externalidades de la Inversión Directa Exterior sobre la actividad emprendedora local: Un enfoque institucional en Latinoamérica RESUMEN Cada vez es más prolífero el avance de la investigación académica de economistas y analistas políticos, sobre el papel que desempeñan las empresas multinacionales (MNE) en el desarrollo de las economías emergentes. Sin embargo, la contribución de los académicos en negocios internacionales en este sentido es algo escasa, especialmente considerando la importancia que su aporte puede significar en la materia. Surge entonces, el reto de profundizar y contribuir desde esa disciplina al debate actual, y el presente trabajo, propone abordarlo desde una perspectiv…
