Methods of Entering Where Access is RestrictedAbstractWhere social occasions, in the context of nightclubs and music venues, are bounded, the space of the entrance is accomplished via regulation of attendees by workers. This regulation ensures: the venue stays within capacity; people have been invited or (if required) pay the fee; entry to 'undesirables,' such as drunks, is prohibited. This paper draws from experience of attending social occasions and being a doorperson to categorise and examine...

Methods of Entering Where Access is RestrictedAbstractWhere social occasions, in the context of nightclubs and music venues, are bounded, the space of the entrance is accomplished via regulation of attendees by workers. This regulation ensures: the venue stays within capacity; people have been invited or (if required) pay the fee; entry to 'undesirables,' such as drunks, is prohibited. This paper draws from experience of attending social occasions and being a doorperson to categorise and examine...

An objection of varying importance to epistemic utility theoryAbstractSome propositions are more epistemically important than others.

Epistemic Utility Theory cannot accommodate this fact, at least not in any standard way. For EUT to be successful, legitimate measures of epistemic utility must be proper, i.e., every probability function must assign itself maximum expected...

Melanocytic Skin Neoplasms: What Lesson From Genomic Aberrations?Abstract: Studies on the genomic aberrations in melanocytic neoplasms have shown a complex genomic landscape. In nevi and melanomas, a MAP-kinase pathway activation was generally found, produced by different chromosomal aberrations, including BRAF, NRAS, HRAS, GNAQ, GNA11, BAP1, CTNNB1, MAP2K1, PRKAR1A, and NF1 mutations, and ALK, ROS1, NTRK1, RET, MET, BRAF, NTRK3, and PRKCA fusions. Melanomas also showed a variable number of additional...
