Are Mathematical Explanations Causal Explanations in Disguise
There is a major debate as to whether there are non-causal mathematical explanations of physical facts that show how the facts under question arise from a degree of mathematical necessity considered stronger than that of contingent causal laws. We focus on Marc Lange’s account of distinctively mathematical explanations to argue that purported mathematical explanations are essentially causal explanations in disguise and are no different from ordin…

Not so distinctively mathematical explanations
So-called ‘distinctively mathematical explanations’ (DMEs) are said to explain physical phenomena, not in terms of contingent causal laws, but rather in terms of mathematical necessities that constrain the physical system in question. Lange argues that the existence of four or more equilibrium positions of any double pendulum has a DME. Here we refute both Lange’s claim itself and a strengthened and extended version of the claim that would pertai…

Public health preventive measures and child health behaviours during Covid-19
Public health preventive measures during COVID-19 were associated with a negative impact on the health behaviours of Canadian children living in a large metropolitan area
Refugee mothers, migration pathways and HIV
Forced migration and extended time spent migrating may lead to prolonged marginalization and increased risk of HIV. We conducted a population-based cohort study to examine whether secondary migration status, where secondary migrants resided in a transition country prior to arrival in Ontario, Canada and primary migrants arrived directly from their country of birth, modified the relationship between refugee status and HIV. Unadjusted and adjusted …
Doxastic desire and Attitudinal Monism
The Inconceivable Popularity of Conceivability Arguments
Famous examples of conceivability arguments include (i) Descartes’ argument for mind-body dualism, (ii) Kripke's ‘modal argument’ against psychophysical identity theory, (iii) Chalmers’ ‘zombie argument’ against materialism, and (iv) modal versions of the ontological argument for theism. In this paper, we show that for any such conceivability argument, C, there is a corresponding ‘mirror argument’, M. M is deductively valid and has a conclusion t…

The American Orthopsychiatric Association, Inc., 1945 Membership List
The symbol following the address indicates membership status: (C) Charter member; (F) Fellow; (H) Honorary. Numbers in parenthesis indicate year of election to membership. The chief organization connection is followed by the mailing address, which may be either the home address or that of the organization
The American Orthopsychiatric Association, Inc. 1944 Membership List
Two sets of symbols are used in this list. Either immediately after the name, or following the organization with which the member is identified in case mailing address is not that of the organization, are key letters indicating professional classification. These are: (A) psychiatrist; (B) psychologist; (C) social worker; (M) those who are eligible for membership, but whose qualifications do not fit the other groups as defined in the By-laws. The …
