Factors associated with lower quarter performance-based balance and strength tests
Objectives Physical performance tests are predictive of mortality and may screen for certain health conditions (e.g., sarcopenia); however, their diagnostic and/or prognostic value has primarily been studied in age-limited or disease-specific cohorts. Our objective was to identify the most salient characteristics associated with three lower quarter balance and strength tests in a cohort of community-dwelling adults. Methods We applied a stacked e…

Although my ultimate aim is to defend the democratic…

We humans are urgently called by God to cooperate in the struggle for justice through “vigorous an…

De Re And De Dicto
Conventional wisdom has it that there is a class of attitude ascriptions such that in making an ascription of that sort, the ascriber undertakes a commitment to specify the contents of the ascribee’s head in what might be called a notionally sensitive, ascribee-centered way. In making such an ascription, the ascriber is supposed to undertake a commitment to specify the modes of presentation, concepts or notions under which the ascribee cognizes t…
