Abstract:

Abstract Once widespread throughout the Costa Rican lowlands, Ara ambiguus ambiguus (Great Green Macaw) and Ara macao cyanopterus (Scarlet Macaw) were considered rare and locally extinct, respectively, in the Tortuguero area of northeastern Costa Rica until 2014. In 2017, Caño Palma Biological Station staff began weekly macaw surveys at five look-out points in the region. Surveys were carried out from January 2017 to June 2021 to identify and count all macaws sighted. After 27,764 sightings across over 1,048 surveys, we documented strong seasonal variation in activity for both species, with in

Hay pocos estudios sobre la dieta en aves neotropicales, incluidos lo psitácidos. La lapa verde (Ara ambiguus) se alimenta de las semillas del almendro de montaña (Dipteryx panamensis), titor (Sacoglottis trichogyna) y otras especies. Sin embargo no hay reportes de esta especie alimentándose de almendro de playa (Terminalia catappa). Aquí informamos que lo hace y que usa hojas como herramienta. Su consumo podría deberse a la falta de frutos de D. panamensis y S. trichogyna, y al alto valor nutricional de la semilla. Usar las hojas para desprender el pericarpo puede ser una estrategia para evit

Abstract:

Abstract The trap-tube paradigm is a useful reference for judging whether a species is likely to use advanced physical causal cognition, however it does not have a standardised format. In this study, the design of an optimised two trap-table is described and is then tested on two species of macaw: Ara ambiguus and Ara glaucogularis. Multiple subjects of both species learned a successful method to solve an initial trap-problem and some transferred this success to other apparatus presented. However this transfer was likely achieved without a functional physical understanding of the task. The mac

Abstract:

A sudden comprehension that solves a problem, reinterprets a situation, explains a joke, or resolves an ambiguous percept is called an insight (i.e., the “Aha! moment”). Psychologists have studied insight using behavioral methods for nearly a century. Recently, the tools of cognitive neuroscience have been applied to this phenomenon. A series of studies have used electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study the neural correlates of the “Aha! moment” and its antecedents. Although the experience of insight is sudden and can seem disconnected from the imm

AbstractIn this essay, I explore the question of who should determine what an ambiguous tax statute means, the courts or the Department of Treasury. The answer to that question is based on two administrative law doctrines: Chevron and Brand X. Here, I explain why Chevron and Brand X violate the Administrative Procedure Act and are unworkable. Then, using a provision in the tax code, I propose that we return to a standard that is both consistent with the APA and easier to implement: Skidmore.

Although a societal emergency is not defined here, I recommend that the condition of inner city healthcare presents a paradigm “patient” for such emergency care.

Ixcatec is relevant to the discussion on universal subject preference for having syntactically and morphologically ambiguous subject and object RCs that can offer an unconfounded result.

As a poet, Ana Rossetti is perhaps best known for poems that depict (semi-)clothed bodies and speculate about what this clothing simultaneously hides and reveals with respect to the bodies and identities of those wearing it. While at first glance it might seem that the poems in Llenar tu nombre (2008) differ significantly from her earlier work, looking at Rossetti’s poetry in terms of its engagement with ‘reading’ and ‘interpretation’ as an underlying textual logic, we suggest that rather than deviating from her earlier work, their focus on reading ‘texts’ connects these poems to an undercurre

Ambiguous figures (aka bistable, multistable, or reversible images) have fascinated scientists as well as laypersons for centuries. It may be surprising indeed how one and the same physical depiction can be experienced in perceptual awareness in cardinally different ways. In the most well-known examples of such illusions of multistability, the phenomenal change relates just to visual organization. Much less common are perceptions of alternating emotional content in the ambiguous visual image. Here, I introduce one such example.

The novel is based on existential alternatives which are experienced by Sudanese women living with Muslim values in western society. The ambiguous norms in the Minaret by Aboulela are examined in the light of Andrew Gibson’s critical reception and receptivity.

Abstract:

In this paper, the term futsūgo (common language) was viewed over two periods. The first period (1880s-1894) was concerned with education but aimed to establish everyday, commonplace language and script that was familiar to the populace. However, by the 1890s, the policy of Europeanization was being reconsidered, and national consciousness was on the rise. The second period (1894-early 1900s), with the start of the Sino-Japanese War, saw an increase in the national consciousness in strengthening both literary and military arts, with a desire for the establishment of an artificially unified lan

Abstract:

Noticing someone’s pain is the first step to a compassionate response. While past research suggests that the degree to which people want to avoid feeling negative (“avoided negative affect”; ANA) shapes how people respond to someone’s suffering, the present research investigates whether ANA also predicts how people process others’ suffering. In two studies, using complex photographs containing negative aspects (i.e., suffering), we found that the higher people’s ANA, the fewer details of negative aspects they correctly recognized, and the fewer negative words they used in their image descripti

Abstract:

Background: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the reference technique for the measurement of native maximum abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) diameter when surgery is being considered. However, there is a wide choice available for the methodology of maximum AAA diameter measurement on CTA, and to date, no consensus has been reached on which method is best. We analyzed clinical decisions based on these various measures of native maximum AAA diameter with CTA, then analyzed their reproducibility and identified the method of measurement yielding the highest agreement in terms of patient mana

Abstract:

Peatland species are endangered because of peat extraction and drenching of peatland in many regions, and thus are of great conservation concern. Often times, the trait of being "tyrphobiontic" or "tyrphopilous" is defined differently in the literature, yielding ambigous results. Frequently, studies of peatland fauna do not clearly define which species are characteristic of peatlands, instead focussing on other traits like red data book status etc. The group of peatland specialists should be definied by their affinity to the habitat trait of peaty soil. For many species, further factors are al

Abstract:

Situational factors at work may influence work engagement among employees. With 169 respondents from public administrators in the Johor Bahru Tengah Municipal Council, Malaysia, the findings were derived. The survey data from respondents were analyses using hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Findings showed that ambiguity and imbalance impaired work engagement. Meanwhile, distributive fairness significantly influences work engagement directly and indirectly. The results suggest that the influence of an ambiguous situation at work decreased work engagement, but can be improved, mainly t

Abstract:

The restoration of independence in 1990 highlighted the role of Vytautas Landsbergis, the first head of the re-established Lithuanian state. He played a key part in strengthening ties with the Lithuanian diaspora. Under his leadership, transformative initiatives were launched to involve Lithuanians abroad in shaping the nation’s future. Their contributions were recognized as vital to achieving independence. Efforts to develop a diaspora policy also began, aiming to integrate Lithuanians abroad into Lithuania’s political, economic, and cultural life. Landsbergis fostered a partnership with the
