First-Order Aboutness Theory
We seem to have a good grasp of how the subject matters of truth-functional composites depends on their components: it’s simply fusion (Hawke in Australas J Philos 96:697–723, 2018, Fine in Philos Studies 177:129–171, 2020, Plebani and Spolaore in Philos Q 71:605–622, 2021, Plebani and Spolaore in Philos Stud 181:247–265, 2021, Berto in Topics of Thought, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2022). But what relation should the subject matter of subse…

Question-relative knowledge for minimally rational agents
Agents know some but not all logical consequences of what they know. Agents seem to be neither logically omniscient nor logically incompetent. Yet finding an intermediate standard of minimal rationality has proven difficult. In this paper, I take suggestions found in the literature [Lewis, D. 1988. Relevant Implication. Theoria 54 (3): 161174. https://doi.org/10.1111/theo.1988.54.issue-3; Hawke, P., A. Özgün, and F. Berto. 2020. The Fundamental P…
Epistemic logic with partial grasp
We have to gain from recognizing a relation between epistemic agents and the parts of subject matters that play a role in their cognitive lives. I call this relation “grasping”. Namely, I zone in on one notion of having a partial grasp of a subject matter—that of agents grasping part of the subject matter that they are attending to—and characterize it. I propose that giving up the idealization that we fully grasp the subject matters we attend to …
Financial and Consumption Habits and Behaviors during the Covid-19 Pandemic
This study aimed at describing the impact that the COVID 19 pandemic had on the financial and consumption habits of Chilean, Argentinean and Colombian families. This was a cross-sectional on-line study. The final sample consisted of 1,184 adults who managed independent financial resources and from urban areas of Argentina, Chile, and Colombia. Results show an increased use of credit to pay for basic services and on the late payments of expenses. …
Conocimiento técnico-científico en el conflicto hídrico en Chile
El presente artículo propone un análisis del uso del conocimiento científico en la jurisprudencia nacional respecto del conflicto hídrico en las regiones de Antofagasta y Valparaíso entre los años 2010 y 2017, a través del estudio de las sentencias y entrevistas a informantes claves. Los resultados indican que las pruebas técnico-científicas tienen una consideración dual en los juicios, como un proceso administrativo previo y como información rel…
Cross-sectional study of risk factors for atherosclerosis in the Azorean population
One has to consider the possibility of an important non-genetic influence on the high cholesterolemia present in the Azorean population. Since diet is the most important life-style risk factor for dyslipidemia, studies aiming to evaluate the dietary characteristics of this population and its impact on serum lipid levels will be of major importance
Genetic profiling of the Azores Islands (Portugal)
The populations from the Azores islands have been the target of several genetic studies, using data derived from monoparental and recombining genetic systems. These studies have provided a complex picture of the genetic landscape of the three groups of Azorean islands, and further data are required to assess its genetic profile. We present a study of the polymorphism in 10 X‐chromosome STR loci (DSXS8378, DXS9898, DXS7133, GATA31E08, GATA172D05, …
