DELIBERATION DOES CROWD OUT PREDICTION DELIBERATION DOES CROWD OUT PREDICTION Isaac Levi John Dewey Professor of Philosophy Emeritus Columbia University, New York, NY 10027 levi@columbia.edu Wlodek Rabinowicz (2002) has challenged the thesis that deliberation as to what one is to do and prediction as to what one will do cannot be jointly undertaken coherently. He maintains that even if it were tru

I EU-domstolens dom i FCE Bank menade EU-domtolen att ett tillhandahållande av en tjänst mellan ett huvudkontor och dess filial inte utgör en beskattningsbar transaktion då huvudkontoret och dess branch, tillsammans, utgör en och samma beskattningsbara person.Tio år senare dömde EU-domstolen i Skandia America där EU-domstolen menade att den princip som härrör från domen i FCE Bank inte är tillämplIn its ruling in FCE Bank, the CJEU stated that a supply between a head office and its branch does not constitute a taxable transaction since the head office, together with its branch, constitute one taxable person. Ten years later the CJEU ruled in Skandia America stating that the principle deriving from FCE Bank is not applicable when the branch is a member of a VAT group. This ruling generated

Factors contributing to valuable development assistance are often perceived as a "black box," due to heterogeneity of development aid motives. This research brings out that too often, the value of aid is assessed from the perspectives of the donors rather than from its recipients. Therefore, this thesis takes a focus to study the recipient's perspectives for valuable development assi

Bacteria can cause life-threatening infections, such as pneumonia, meningitis, or sepsis. Antibiotic therapy is a mainstay of treatment, although antimicrobial resistance has drastically increased over the years. Unfortunately, safe and effective vaccines against most pathogens have not yet been approved, and thus developing alternative treatments is important. We analyzed the efficiency of factor

Stroke causes direct structural damage to local brain networks and indirect functional damage to distant brain regions. Neuroplasticity after stroke involves molecular changes within perilesional tissue that can be influenced by regions functionally connected to the site of injury. Spontaneous functional recovery can be enhanced by rehabilitative strategies, which provides experience-driven cell s

Today more and more people choose to live a life as cohabitants instead of being married. In today’s Cohabitees Act from 2003 the cohabitants have an lower legal status than marriage. The same thing applies for cohabitants provision for surviving. Cohabitants have no legal right of inheritance when one cohabitant dies. The purpose of this essay is to investigate the legal system in Sweden and Nor

Importance Perforated colonic diverticulitis usually requires surgical resection, with significant morbidity. Short-term results from randomized clinical trials have indicated that laparoscopic lavage is a feasible alternative to resection. However, it appears that no long-term results are available. Objective To compare long-term (5-year) outcomes of laparoscopic peritoneal lavage and primary re

Patients with organic solvent-induced toxic encephalopathy (TE) (n = 13) were followed up seven years after the application of an intervention program. They were also compared with untreated TE patients diagnosed at the same time (n = 26) and with unexposed referents (n = 39). Psychological distress, social function, and coping ability and style were measured with the Symptom Checklist-90, Intervi

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice. At an early stage of the disease, AF may terminate spontaneously and is then referred to as paroxysmal AF. On the other hand, when external intervention is required for the arrhythmia to terminate, it is referred to as persistent AF. In this work, a method to discriminate between paroxysmal and persistent AF in the long-t

Conspicuous consumption has been steadily growing and possess considerable functions in creating and expressing consumers’ self-identities. Conspicuous consumption is something that plays a large part in the consumers lives due not only the visible exchanges but also the symbolic value that it brings and creates a reciprocity between consumers self-identity and conspicuous consumption. This study

This study evaluates the impact of agricultural subsidies (CAP) on employment outside the agricultural sector. A side-effect of the decoupling reform in 2005 was that Sweden introduced a grassland support which caused a redistribution of payments among regions. This heterogeneity in transfers is used to identify the effects of government transfers on regional labour markets. The effect on employme

Globally, the lifespan of populations increases but the healthspan is lagging behind. Previous research showed that survival into extreme ages (longevity) clusters in families as illustrated by the increasing lifespan of study participants with each additional long-lived family member. Here we investigate whether the healthspan in such families follows a similar quantitative pattern using three-ge

Child stunting (chronic undernutrition) is a major public health concern in low- and middle-income countries. In Rwanda, an estimated 33% of children are affected. This study investigated the household living conditions and the impact of gender-related decision-making on child stunting. The findings contribute to ongoing discussion on this critical public health issue. In December 2021, a populati

Color is the most obvious and easily determined soil property that can provide crucial information about soil composition. The NIX™ Pro color sensor (Nix) presents a user-friendly alternative to the traditional Munsell manual method, with reduced sensitivity to environmental and human factors. Therefore, a new method was developed to use Nix in combination with machine learning to quickly and affo

P>Few data illustrate the man's reaction to orchidectomy. We investigated long-lasting feelings of loss and uneasiness or shame about the body after removal of a testicle by orchidectomy. We identified 1173 eligible men diagnosed with non-seminomatous testicular cancer treated according to the national cancer-care programmes Swedish-Norwegian Testicular Cancer Group I-IV between 1981 and 2004.
