Tibetan wa-zur and Laufer’s law by Jacques, Guillaume

Why Brussels? Neruda’s ‘título absolutamente enigmático’ by Moran, D

“…<p>The primary purpose of this article is to propose a solution to longstanding literary mystery, namely, why Neruda&rsquo;s disconcertingly enigmatic poem &lsquo;Bruselas&rsquo; (from&nbsp;<em>Tercera residencia</em>&nbsp;[1947]) has a title which seems to bear little if any relation either to the city of Brussels itself or to its sometimes bewilderingly obscure content and imagery. …”

The competing use of perfect and aorist tenses in Old Church Slavonic by MacRobert, C

“…In Old Church Slavonic the distribution of aorist and perfect tenses is problematic: it appears for the most part to be semantically motivated, but the distinction in meaning does not correspond exactly to what is found in modern Slavonic languages and therefore has to be inferred from Old Church Slavonic material. It has sometimes been suggested that in the second and third persons singular, which coincide formally in the aorist tense, variation between aorist and perfect forms may to some extent be correlated with explicitly marked distinctions of person in Greek, and may therefore be a side effect of translation; but such correlations are not regular, and the frequency of second person singular perfect forms is higher in some types of text than in others. …”

The phenomenology of mediumship by Benjamin, Geoffrey

“…The latter requirement leads mediums to perform actions that generate in themselves the directly felt sensation of simultaneously acting and being acted upon. ‘Trance’ – which seems not to be a unitary altered state of consciousness – labels the kind of performance that mediums must actively perform in order to convince themselves that some other agency is acting on (or through) them. …”

Multi-scale modelling in computational biomedicine by Sloot, Peter M. A., Hoekstra, Alfons G.

“…However, an underpinning multi-scale modelling methodology seems to be missing.

Impostor syndrome and pretense by Levy, N

“…Anecdotally, it is experienced more by members of historically disadvantaged groups, but the empirical data seems inconsistent with this view. I argue that impostor syndrome occurs because (a) it is normal, appropriate and often even necessary to engage in some degree of pretense in order to acquire specialist expertise, but (b) we are much more likely to be aware of our own pretense than that of others. …”

Tweens' online privacy risks and the role of parental mediation by Faber, Ronald J., Shin, Wonsun, Huh, Jisu

“…A survey conducted with 381 parent-tween dyads in Korea revealed that, while parental mediation was not directly associated with tweens' information disclosing behaviors, parent-tween disagreement on restrictive mediation was: tweens' inaccurate perception of what parents do to limit their access to commercial Web sites seems to be positively related to tweens' information disclosure on the Web.…”
