According to Carstens (2008), Bantu locatives in general project double DPs. However, recent works have presented convincing evidence for a reduction in nominal size for Bantu locatives (Fuchs & van der Wal 2017, 2018). We argue that the actual size of nominals in Swahili, a language of the Bantu family, depends on the type of locative expression. In this regard, a mismatch in terms of nominal size is observed for Swahili. By means of analyzing such mismatches, we adopt the PP analysis as well as the stacked-n analysis suggested by Kramer (2015). In doing so, we demonstrate that there are two distinct ways of forming Swahili locatives. The first is to utilize a prepositional head, P (e.g., kwa), projected above a full nominal whereas the other is to make use of the head, n (e.g., -ni), projected within a reduced nominal. Such dissimilarity in constructing locatives, in turn, gives rise to mismatches in Swahili nominals.

Identical Behaviour

There is no convincing evidence to support the view that antisocial behaviour can be accounted for by reference to concepts such as learning defect, immaturity or lack of moral fibre. The criminal displays behaviour towards authorities identical to that displayed by a patriot in an occupied country towards the enemy. This identical behaviour, it is asserted by some, shows in the one case instability, cowardice, lack of resolve and in the other case, stability, courage, resolve and strength of will. These statements reveal the attitudes and bias of the observer without illuminating the situation of the observed. It is more relevant to examine what the psychopath has learned and the conditions in which his learning took place than to pursue enquiries aimed at demonstrating a learning defect. The human being is born without the attitudes, beliefs and sentiments towards e.g. property, sexual object etc., which are necessary for his successful incorporation into his ongoing social group. It is the intention of society's socializing agents, the family and the school, to inculcate in the developing human being these necessary attitudes, sentiments and beliefs. Psychopathic personalities are the consequence of the socializing process gone wrong. This paper describes the types of psychopath together with the learning situations which brought them about. The implications for treatment programs are examined.

Key Variables

Cooperation often involves behaviours that reduce immediate payoffs for actors. Delayed benefits have often been argued to pose problems for the evolution of cooperation because learning such contingencies may be difficult as partners may cheat in return. Therefore, the ability to achieve stable cooperation has often been linked to a species' cognitive abilities, which is in turn linked to the evolution of increasingly complex central nervous systems. However, in their famous 1981 paper, Axelrod and Hamilton stated that in principle even bacteria could play a tit-for-tat strategy in an iterated Prisoner's Dilemma. While to our knowledge this has not been documented, interspecific mutualisms are present in bacteria, plants and fungi. Moreover, many species which have evolved large brains in complex social environments lack convincing evidence in favour of reciprocity. What conditions must be fulfilled so that organisms with little to no brainpower, including plants and single-celled organisms, can, on average, gain benefits from interactions with partner species? On the other hand, what conditions favour the evolution of large brains and flexible behaviour, which includes the use of misinformation and so on? These questions are critical, as they begin to address why cognitive complexity would emerge when ‘simple’ cooperation is clearly sufficient in some cases. This paper spans the literature from bacteria to humans in our search for the key variables that link cooperation and deception to cognition.

The study aims to answer the question whether Luke 18:9-14 presents an original tradition dating back to the teaching of Jesus or is entirely the work of the third evangelist. As the parable is not found in the other synoptic gospels to compare with the Lucan text, the author approaches the question by first studying the language of the parable and then discussing the possible context in which the parable could have been pronounced. He then examines the other synoptic gospels to see whether a similar teaching exists even though there is no direct parallel passage. Although none of these elements considered on its own is satisfactory to establish the origin of the parable, taken together they provide convincing evidence that it may have had its origin in Jesus’ teaching.

Quality control and classification of agricultural products is an important component of agricultural production and sales. Use MATLAB 2010 software with image processing technology to create the quality classification of the oranges (diameter, perimeter, and field) based on the fruits. Prior to the quality classification, collecting orange tree images (taking photos from scratch), and then drawing a scratchy image. Comparing the ratio between the orange fruit diameter, perimeter, pixel and actual size, the fruit of the fruit is compared with the results of the Jeju Citrus Commission. The comparisons of these results indicate that the orange diametre pixels represent the actual amount of orange in terms of more accurate than the other two pixels (perimeter and area). This will be used for further research.

The aim of this systematic review was to determine whether there is a root canal filling for deciduous teeth equally or more effective than zinc oxide-eugenol cement (ZOE). Six clinical trials selected for inclusion were independently reviewed by two researchers. Only two showed statistically significant different success rates between the test and the control groups. One found that an iodoform paste with calcium hydroxide () performed better than ZOE, and the other found that ZOE performed similarly to . The other four studies compared ZOE with an iodoform paste (IP), a calcium hydroxide cement , or . In these trials, the success rates in the ZOE groups were slightly lower than in the other groups. There seems to be no convincing evidence to support the superiority of any material over ZOE, and both ZOE and appear to be suitable as root canal fillings for deciduous teeth.

Postoperative pain is considered as a risk factor for the mortality of cancerous patients. Are there convincing evidence demonstrating the causality between them? It is hard to draw a conclusion from the currently available data. Pain itself is an immune suppressor and functions as a tumor-promoting mediator, but it is strongly associated with the pain intensity. The mild-to-moderate pain is a favorable factor to the recovery for patients from surgeries. Everything possesses dual facets: yin and yang balance system. What we need to do is how to take advantage of the favorable from both sides rather than debate which is superior to the other. Yes, even overbalance there, the key necessary for it is to taking measures to keep them on balance.

On the origin and evolution of humorThe paper discusses various hypotheses that humor is an evolutionary adaptation. First, those research fields that may shed light on the origin and evolution of humor are presented. Second, the problem of dating the origin of humor and laughter is briefly addressed. Third, three groups of evolutionary explanations are considered, each of which is associated with one of the main theories of humor: psychoanalytical, cognitive-perceptual and social-behavioral theories. The data provide quite convincing evidence of cognitive and social benefits that may have facilitated the evolutionary development of humor. These data are consistent with core theses of the cognitive-perceptual theories of humor on the one hand and with some less prominent versions of the social-behavioral theories on the other hand.

Depth Cue

Motion parallax is conventionally described as a “depth cue.” Rogers & Graham (1979) are credited with providing fairly convincing evidence for this view. Here, I argue that, just as in the case of the other so-called “depth cues,” the claim that “motion parallax” constitutes an independent factor supporting shape and depth perception is circular. Authors offering apparent demonstrations of this cue fail to properly distinguish between proximal and distal stimulus and overlook the fundamental confound of figural organization.

Actual Size

In a paper on “Beauty and Greatness in Art” discussed at a recent meeting of the Aristotelian Society, Professor Alexander says: “In Art there are two standards; there is the strictly æsthetic standard, Is the work beautiful or not; has it attained beauty? and there is the question, Is it great or small?… This contrast of beauty and greatness is the old contrast of form and subject-matter.” Here is offered a problem of capital importance and of age-long interest, but alongside of it there is a subsidiary and a much slighter question which has been comparatively little noticed and which may yet have bearing on the larger issue. This question is the relation of actual size, of size-in-itself, to the other factors in a work of art, and the reaction, if such there be, of such a size-factor upon the aesthetic whole.

How do principals combine indoctrination and coercion to motivate their agents? Based on previous literature, we argue that indoctrination on the one hand and coercion on the other are substitutes in agent motivation—more of one requires less of the other. But measuring this substitution effect is hard since individuals often self-select into ideological organizations and have incentives to claim insincerely to be ideologically motivated. Using a novel dataset of wartime behavior contained in a large sample of World War II German service records, we present a solution to these problems. We find convincing evidence to support our theory—the German army was able to induce similar effort levels from soldiers who had and had not been in the Hitler Youth, though Hitler Youth alumni required fewer punishments.
