Language as an “Indispensable Tool and Organ” of Reason: Intuition, Concept and Word in Schopenhauer
2020
On the first sight, Schopenhauer’s theory of language seems to be a rather simple instrumental one: Language is a means to convey information to others by sensual, vocal or written signs. However, Schopenhauer also argues that the real empirical object is the basis of a concept, which is abstracted from the former leaving out most of its properties and keeping the “essential” ones. In this paper, it is shown that Schopenhauer’s view on language cannot be reduced to an instrumental theory of language. Such a reduction would be really surprising in view of Schopenhauer’s style of writing and his critique of language.
On Formalizing Logical Modalities
2021
This paper is in the scope of the philosophy of modal logic; more precisely, it concerns the semantics of modal logic, when the modal elements are interpreted as logical modalities. Most authors have thought that the logic for logical modality—that is, the one to be used to formalize the notion of logical truth (and other related notions)—is to be found among logical systems in which modalities are allowed to be iterated. This has raised the problem of the adequacy, to that formalization purpose, of some modal schemes, such as S4 and S5 . It has been argued that the acceptance of S5 leads to non-normal modal systems, in which the uniform substitution rule fails. The thesis supported in this…
Treatment options in obstructive sleep apnea
2022
AbstractTreatment of OSA with CPAP is currently the recommended treatment and has the greatest evidence of efficacy on AHI, symptoms and comorbidities. Symptomatic patients with moderate-severe OSA generally have good adherence to CPAP therapy, while those with mild OSA, female, young and generally paucisymptomatic, have lower CPAP adherence, especially in the medium and long term. The recent identification of different clinical and pathophysiological phenotypes of OSA has paved the way for alternative treatments to CPAP, leading to an increasingly personalized therapy. Weight loss and lifestyle modifications are highly recommended in all obese or overweight patients. Mandibular advancement…
Lipid-lowering nutraceuticals in clinical practice: position paper from an International Lipid Expert Panel
2017
In recent years, there has been growing interest in the possible use of nutraceuticals to improve and optimize dyslipidemia control and therapy. Based on the data from available studies, nutraceuticals might help patients obtain theraputic lipid goals and reduce cardiovascular residual risk. Some nutraceuticals have essential lipid-lowering properties confirmed in studies; some might also have possible positive effects on nonlipid cardiovascular risk factors and have been shown to improve early markers of vascular health such as endothelial function and pulse wave velocity. However, the clinical evidence supporting the use of a single lipid-lowering nutraceutical or a combination of them is…
Personības iezīmes, piesaistes stils un partnera idealizācija sievietēm ar dažādu partnerattiecību ilgumu
2015
Maģistra darba ietvaros tika veikts pētījums lai noskaidrotu, vai pastāv saistības starp personības iezīmēm, piesaistes stiliem un partnera idealizāciju sievietēm un vai pastāv atšķirības starp šiem faktoriem saistībā ar partnerattiecību ilgumu grupās no 1-5, 6-9 un 10- 15 un vairāk kopdzīves gadiem. Kopumā pētījumā piedalījās 168 sievietes vecumā no 25-50 gadiem (M = 30,05 SD = 6,31), ar partnerattiecību ilgumu no 1- 15 gadiem (M = 7,53 SD = 4,29), pie nosacījuma, ka viņas ar šo partneri dzīvo kopā. Pētījuma instrumentārijā tika izmantotas trīs aptaujas- Piesaistes stilu aptauja (ASI; Sperling & Berman, 1991), Lielā Piecinieka aptauja (BFI; The Big Five Inventory, John & Srivastava, 1999) …

Metabolic Impacts of Confinement during the COVID-19 Pandemic Due to Modified Diet and Physical Activity Habits
2020
While the detrimental effects of a chronic positive energy balance due to a sedentary lifestyle have been well established, the impacts of a short period of abruptly reduced physical activity and overeating arising from strict confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic will soon start to emerge. To reasonably anticipate major consequences according to the available evidence, we hereby review the literature for studies that have explored the health impacts of several weeks of a reduction in physical activity and daily step-count combined with modified eating habits. These studies identify as main metabolic consequences increases in insulin resistance, total body fat, abdominal fat and inflamma…
Ekspansja tradycyjnej muzyki podhalańskiej na północ
2020
Artykuł jest próbą przybliżenia zmian zachodzących w tradycyjnej muzyce Podhala w ciągu ostatnich stu pięćdziesięciu lat oraz jej wpływu na repertuar tradycyjny terenów położonych na północ od tego regionu. Wnioski zostały sformułowane na podstawie źródeł archiwalnych – pisanych i fonograficznych – oraz badań własnych przeprowadzonych w ciągu ostatniej dekady na terenie powiatów myślenickiego, suskiego i nowotarskiego (północna część). Wydaje się, że w XIX wieku istniała daleko idąca wspólnota repertuarowa Podhala i Beskidu, trudno więc prześledzić, czy podobne wątki tekstowe i melodyczne są dowodem na jedność repertuaru, czy może na ścisłą ekspansję muzyki z Podhala w kierunku północnym. W…
Estilo y autoría en la información. Una aparente ausencia de identidad
2009
Dolors.Palau@uv.es Los textos periodísticos son un reflejo de los diversos estilos, de la diversidad de formas de ver y construir la realidad de los periodistas que los elaboran. Más allá de la prescripción y las posturas acríticas que han presidido la reflexión sobre estas cuestiones, este artículo aboga por un análisis que saque a la luz los mecanismos lingüísticos en los que se refleja el punto de vista, las estrategias que subyacen a una aparente ausencia de identidad, a una autoría pretendidamente enmascarada. Para ello parte de una revisión pluridisciplinar de los conceptos de estilo y autor, antes de proponer y aplicar un método de análisis pragmaestilístico. Journalistic articles ar…
