Summary: Maybe changing the way we ask questions and being more creative in our approach could lead to a different outcome with our patients. For example, asking patients to envision their illness as a landscape or encouraging them to name their illnesses as if they were something that stays, like pets, cars, or objects.

Summary: This paper explores the application of linear evolution equations on metric graphs or networks, allowing for more freedom and a unified framework in modeling coupled and interacting systems. It also studies questions of well-posedness and regularity of solutions in Cauchy problems on time-graphs.

Summary: When aiming to improve animal welfare, it is important to consider the perspectives of stakeholders in the industry. This study explored the use of perspective-taking as a tool to overcome barriers in the dairy industry by having farmers take on the perspective of the cow. Through participatory methods, 12 New Zealand dairy farmers were engaged to discuss and create a cow-centric farm design and implementation pathway. The results highlighted important considerations for environmental elements, cow handling and care, as well as the timeline and resources needed for implementation.

Summary: Psychedelic substances have been important in various cultures, and there is growing interest in their use as treatments for medical disorders. Clinical trials have shown effectiveness in psychiatric conditions, but there is limited research on psychedelics for chronic pain. Challenges include identifying mechanisms of action and selecting pain conditions to investigate.

Summary: This study quantifies the potential benefits of early diagnosis in reducing the burden of cancer mortality. The research conducted in Australia found that if all known cancer cases at a distant stage were diagnosed at an earlier stage, an average of 2000 to 2700 cancer deaths could be potentially avoided each year.

Summary: The study estimated the off-street parking supply in the seven most economically productive cities in Silicon Valley. It found that parking occupies 13% of the land area in these cities, with more than half of commercial parcels being used for parking, potentially depressing the commercial and industrial densities in Silicon Valley.

Summary: This study suggests that political judgments are influenced by moral cognition and the intuitive theory of social motivation. It found that people tend to support authoritarian leaders and governance preferences when facing threats such as war or scarcity. Additionally, the results from experiments and data analysis also show a gap between individuals' ideal level of redistribution and their predicted actual level in society.

Summary: This study aimed to explore patients' experiences of being cared for in an ICU through their memories. It found that critically-ill patients often had fragmented or delusional memories, while less critically ill patients tended to have more factual memories. Positive experiences were associated with a sense of safety promoted by nurses, while negative experiences were related to privacy and dignity violations, lack of empathy, and feeling controlled by healthcare staff.

Summary: The paper argues that it would be bad if compatibilism were true, providing two key elements to support this claim. Firstly, it suggests that compatibilism allows for powerful manipulators to make finite moral agents blameworthy, which is both false and undesirable. Secondly, it asserts that the fact that it would be bad if true gives us reason to doubt its truth. The paper also aims to examine the nature of this form of argument and compares it to Sayre-McCord's recent argument against genuine moral dilemmas.

Summary: This study used the HEC-RAS 1D/2D model to investigate the situation of the 2017 flood in Mandra town and found that the flood protection works resulted in lower flow velocities and water depths, as well as a reduced extent of inundation areas. Additionally, the works delayed the arrival of the flood, providing an opportunity for an Early Warning System to respond more effectively.

Summary: Men's Health is a urological subspecialty that is at the forefront of innovation. Through an online survey, it was found that providers prefer using phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors and low-intensity shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction. Behavioral therapy is preferred for premature and delayed ejaculation, and testosterone replacement therapy is favored for hypogonadal symptoms. Many specialists opt for less invasive treatment options before considering procedural intervention.

Summary: The cause of Neanderthal disappearance 40,000 years ago is still debated among the research community. While there is a consensus that demography played a significant role, there is a lack of agreement on the influence of environmental factors and competition with modern humans. Moreover, there is no evidence to suggest that palaeo-anthropologists' views on this topic are influenced by their socio-political beliefs.

Summary: The control of fire marked a significant technological innovation in human evolution, followed by the spread of cultural practices like the Levallois technology. This indicates that ancient hominin subpopulations interacted frequently enough to transmit ideas and skills, suggesting a cultural behavior more akin to modern Homo sapiens than to our primate relatives.

Summary: This article explains the rise of logical empiricism in mid-twentieth century America and its significance in American philosophy of science. It argues that philosophy of science was already a distinct subfield with its own approaches and issues before the dominance of logical empiricism. Additionally, it shows that the emergence of logical empiricism can be understood using the same historical framework as the rise of analytic philosophy.

Summary: This article examines a forgotten research strand within French nineteenth-century positivism that focused on the study of scientific discovery. French epistemologists, including notable figures such as Ernest Naville and Pierre Duhem, challenged earlier positivist views on logic, psychology, and sociology of discovery. The article highlights the inaccuracies in existing historical accounts of the philosophical study of scientific discovery.
