EPISTEMIC VALUES AND THE BIG FIVE: PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF THOSE WHO ASCRIBE PERSONAL AND MORAL VALUE TO EPISTEMIC RATIONALITY.

Epistemic values and the Big Five: Personality characteristics of those who ascribe personal and moral value to epistemic rationality.

People differ in how much personal importance, and moral relevance, they ascribe to epistemic rationality.These stable individual differences can be assessed using the Importance of Rationality Scale (IRS), and Moralized Rationality Scale (MRS).Furthermore, these individual differences are conceptually distinct, and associated with different cognit

Reverse augmentation technique in hip revision arthroplasty: a new strategy for the management of acetabular reconstruction

Abstract Background The principle of acetabular total hip revision (THR) is based on acetabular reconstruction and restoration of the center of rotation.The use of augmentation in high cranial acetabular defects combined with a cementless revision shell was studied sufficiently.This study aimed to report a case with the use of an augment inside a c

Particle flow rate from the airways as fingerprint diagnostics in mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit: a randomised controlled study

Introduction Mechanical ventilation can be monitored by analysing particles in exhaled air as measured by particle flow rate (PFR).This could be a potential method of detecting ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) before changes in conventional parameters can be detected.The aim of this study was to investigate PFR during different ventilation mod
