Abstract This article discusses why it is the case that we refuse to accept strange evaluative claims as being true in fictions, even though we are happy to go along with other types of absurdities in such contexts. For instance, we would refuse to accept the following statement as true, even in the context of a fiction: (i) In killing her baby, Giselda did the right thing; after all, it was a girl. This article offers a sensibilist diagnosis of this puzzle, inspired by an observation first made by David Hume. According to sensibilism, the way we feel about things settles their evaluative properties. Thus, when confronted with a fictional scenario where the configuration of non-evaluative facts and properties is relevantly similar to the actual world, we refuse to go along with evaluative properties being instantiated according to a different pattern. It is the attitudes we hold in the actual world that fix the extension of evaluative terms, even in nonactual worlds. When engaging with a fiction, we (to some extent) leave our beliefs about what the world is like behind, while taking our emotional attitudes with us into the fiction. To substantiate this diagnosis, this paper outlines a sensibilist semantics for evaluative terms based on recent discussion regarding predicates of personal taste, and explains how, together with standard assumptions about the nature of fictional discourse, it makes the relevant predictions with respect to engagement with fictions.

Astudy on the regiospecificity of the base-catalyzed reaction of activated ?-oxonitriles 1 with diethyl mercaptosuccinate affording the title compounds 3 is reported. Other competitive heterocyclic products, that is 4-oxo-1,3-thiazinanes 4, derivatives of tetrahydrothiophene 5 and/or thiacyclohexane 6 which on the grounds of mechanistic considerations could be formed, were not observed. Spectroscopic and experimental evidence together with theoretical considerations, provides a reasonable explanation for the observed regiospecificity.

Simple Link

One of the most remarkable but neglected aspects of osteoclast function is its unique adaptation that allows the cell to function despite its resorbing surface being exposed to extremely high levels of ambient Ca2+. Recently our studies have provided evidence of continuous transcellular Ca2+ disposal, suggesting that osteoclasts are able to prevent Ca2+ accumulation within the resorptive hemivacuole. It has also been shown that matrix protein degradation products that accumulate within the osteoclast resorptive vacuole are also undergoing transcellular transport by transcytosis. However, both experimental evidence and theoretical considerations suggest that transcellular transport of Ca2+ and matrix protein is likely to occur via distinct routes. In light of these considerations, we are able to provide convincing explanations for the apparent anomalies of osteoclast intracellular [Ca2+] responses to a variety of endocrine stimuli. The understanding of the mechanisms involved in Ca2+ handling by osteoclasts indicates the lack of a simple link between osteoclast function and changes in overall cytosolic [Ca2+].

Urinary Glycosaminoglycans

1. The effect of MgCl2 concentration on the interaction of Alcian Blue 8GX and glycosaminoglycans in the urine of patients with mucopolysaccharidosis was studied by using a new quantitative micro method for the measurement of Alcian Blue–glycosaminoglycan complexes. This provided a means of measuring the critical electrolyte concentrations of urinary glycosaminoglycans. 2. Theoretical considerations based on the preceding paper (Whiteman, 1973) and experimental evidence provided here show that Alcian Blue 8GX may be used for the direct quantitative determination of total urinary glycosaminoglycans. The method is simple, requires sample volumes of 50μl or less, and gives results comparable with those obtained by other more complicated methods.

Primary Substrate

Glucose had long been thought to fuel oxidative metabolism in active neurons until the recently proposed astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle hypothesis (ANLSH) challenged this view. According to the ANLSH, activity-induced uptake of glucose takes place predominantly in astrocytes, which metabolize glucose anaerobically. Lactate produced from anaerobic glycolysis in astrocytes is then released from astrocytes and provides the primary metabolic fuel for neurons. The conventional hypothesis asserts that glucose is the primary substrate for both neurons and astrocytes during neural activity and that lactate produced during activity is removed mainly after neural activity. The conventional hypothesis does not assign any particular fraction of glucose metabolism to the aerobic or anaerobic pathways. In this review, the authors discuss the theoretical background and critically review the experimental evidence regarding these two hypotheses. The authors conclude that the experimental evidence for the ANLSH is weak, and that existing evidence and theoretical considerations support the conventional hypothesis.
