The 2021 meetings of the J.B. Johnston Club for Evolutionary Neuroscience and Karger Workshop in Evolutionary Neuroscience is typically held immediately before the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience. This year the Karger Workshop will be held on Thursday, November 11. The regular JBJC meeting will be held on Friday, November 12. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, both meetings will be held virtually. This year’s Karger Workshop in Evolutionary Neuroscience, made possible by the continuing support of Karger Publishers, is organized by Loreta Medina and Ester Desfilis. It is titled “Conservation, divergence and convergence in amygdala evolution”. The Workshop will examine new findings about some controversial issues of this complex brain structure that in mammals is known to be critical for regulating emotions, social behavior and cognition, but whose identification in non-mammals and the evolution thereof have been highly a matter of vivid discussion. The workshop participants treat the subject from various perspectives that introduce the expression of the amygdala in different species of vertebrates and consider distinct developmental and evolutionary mechanisms. On the following day, the program for the annual JBJC meeting will consist of 24 talks submitted by JBJC members and selected by the JBJC Program Committee (Werner Graf, Alice Powers, Andrew Iwaniuk). Additional information and the final schedule of talks will be mailed to JBJC members before the meeting and posted on the JBJC web site (www.jbjclub.org).

The Subject

This note is devoted to giving a conceptually simple proof of the Invertible Ideal Theorem [1, Theorem 4·6], namely that a prime ideal of a right Noetherian ring R minimal over an invertible ideal has rank at most one. In the commutative case this result may be easily deduced from the Principal Ideal Theorem by localizing and observing that an invertible ideal of a local ring is principal. Our proof is partially analogous in that it utilizes the Rees ring (denned below) in order to reduce the theorem to the case of a prime ideal minimal over an ideal generated by a single central element, which can be easily dealt with by adapting the commutative argument in [8]. The reader is also referred to the papers of Jategaonkar on the subject [5, 6, 7], particularly the last where another proof of the theorem appears which yields some additional information.

At the eighth annual meeting of the Association of Economic Entomologists, held at Buffalo, August 21st and 22nd, 1896, a part of one session was devoted to the consideration of the work of exterminating the gypsy moth in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The subject was presented for discussion by the President, Prof. C. H. Fernald, at the morning session of the second day. Prof. Fernald referred to the action of the Association at its Springfield (1895) meeting, and stated that at the legislative hearings of the past spring, held with reference to determining the size of the appropriation to be granted for continuing the work of exterminating the gypsy moth, no representations made by the Gypsy Moth Committee, the Director, or himself, carried a fraction of the weight that the endorsement of the Association afforded. The legislators recognized the Association as a body of eminent scientists, and accordingly valued the opinion of its members.

Philosophical Questions

This article explores the epistemological significance of disagreement in philosophy in the light of some currently prominent theories of disagreement. More specifically, it asks whether the kind of pervasive and intractable disagreement that is characteristic of philosophy warrants a certain kind of skepticism about the subject. Some hold that, given the kind of disagreement found in philosophy, it would be irrational to hold confident views about controversial philosophical questions. According to this line of thought, the rational response to the diversity of opinion within philosophy is that of the philosophical agnostic, who consistently suspends judgment about controversial issues. Against this, it is argued that there is no plausible view about the epistemology of disagreement on which philosophical agnosticism is compelling.

Surgical Operations

So far as my researches extend little attention has been paid to the subject of this paper. Yet I think it would be rash to assume that what is unrecorded is necessarily rare, even in days when so much more is put into print than any of us can either read or mark, much less digest, and when the number of writers seems in danger of exceeding the number of readers. Insanity, in some degree, as a sequela of surgical operation, though certainly rare, is, I believe, less uncommon than usually supposed, and it is chiefly in the hope of eliciting additional information from others that I venture to record my own small experience. On two subjects medical science has still an infinite deal to learn: first, the influence of disease on the mind; secondly, the influence of mind on disease. In attempting to contribute a little to the first-mentioned subject, I can really deal only with a subdivision of it, viz., the effects that may be produced on the mind by surgical measures undertaken for the relief of disease.

THE PERCEPTION OF THE PRACTICE OF CONFIDENTIALITY IN ARBITRATION. AN ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF A SURVEY CARRIED OUT BY THE LEWIATAN COURT OF ARBITRATION AMONG POLISH ARBITRATION PRACTITIONERS Summary As with numerous other systems of law, such as Norwegian, Swedish or Australian law, the Polish legal system does not have a clear and uniform norm of law governing confidentiality and privacy in arbitration. Public opinion frequently refers to the role of custom as the source of the obligation to preserve confidentiality, although usually it does so without a detailed analysis of the subject and object of this obligation. This fact provided the inspiration for a survey carried out among Polish arbitration practitioners. The results of the survey present an interesting picture of what is subjectively perceived by arbitration practitioners as forming part of the confidentiality canons in arbitration proceedings. In principle, they reflect the worldwide trends, i.e. as far as the object of the confidentiality obligation is concerned – in camera sessions and the confidentiality of awards, and as regards its subject – the confidentiality obligation imposed on arbitrators and arbitration institutions. In addition, the customary practice of keeping confidential any information obtained in the course of proceedings is perceived as the right conduct as far as the object of the obligation is concerned. One of the very controversial issues is the matter of parties’ responsibilities, which leads to further questions as to individual arbitrators’ membership of the social (professional) group known as “arbitration practitioners”.

Reward And Punishment

This paper discusses the actions of rewarding and punishing children of different social behavior. The application of rewarding and punishing demands knowing and fulfilling several conditions which enable their efficiency: the nature of reward and punishment, the way in which pupils receive them, the context in which rewarding and punishing takes place and the characteristics of the subject (age, gender, cognitive capacities, social behavior). It is familiar that teachers prefer pupils who are cooperative, socially responsible, prone to conforming to school rules, kind, friendly and polite, while teacher?s work can often be aggravated on the part of the pupils who are aggressive, asocial, socially irresponsible, disruptive or prone to deviant behavior. In order to accomplish the outcomes which want to be achieved by these procedures, in applying reward and punishment, it is necessary to figure out carefully the criteria of rewarding and punishing and adhere to them consistently, paying attention to the characteristics of social behavior of the pupils. A special chapter is devoted to the consideration of unjust reward and punishment as one of the phenomena present in the experience of a large number of children. The analyzed problems assume adequate preparation of teachers, that is, the knowledge about basic characteristics of upbringing procedures applied in working with pupils, and which will have as a result a more successful social behavior, a more positive attitude towards school and studying.

The Program Committee for the thirty-seventh annual meeting of the Economic History Association was formed in late November 1976, ten months before the convention. The Committee selected the participants whose papers are published in this issue after a comprehensive consultation procedure with a large and wide-ranging sample of members of the Association. The basic guidelines followed by the Program Committee may be briefly stated. First, it was felt that the session topics should pertain to past achievements in the field, as well as reflect issues relevant to the 1970s. Hence, it was decided to include a “summing up session,” in which the importance and achievements of three influential schools in economic history could be evaluated. The three other sessions, as well as the majority of workshops, dealt with issues which were felt to be of considerable interest to scholars at present and in the foreseeable future.
