Argument remains

Whether a transthoracic (TT) procedure by a thoracic surgeon or a transabdominal (TA) by a gastrointestinal surgeon is best for Siewert type II esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma (EGJA) remains unknown. Survival and perioperative outcomes were compared between the two groups in this meta-analysis to clarify this argument.

Argument remains as to whether birds have lost genes compared with mammals and non-avian vertebrates during speciation. High quality-reference gene sets are necessary for precisely evaluating gene gain and loss.

Based on gender-related data in the political sphere for the past few years, the paper focuses on analyses and arguments, aiming at clarifying the actual status of Vietnamese women’s political participation as well as barriers against their participation and representation. Research works have demonstrated that the proportion of women holding the top management positions still remains low, although their proportion in the political system has increased generally. In fact, the number of women taking part in politics is too few to have a significant voice.

We extract from sentences a superstructure made of argumentative operators and connectives applying to the remaining set of terminal sub-sentences. We found the argumentative interpretation of utterances on a semantics defined at the linguistic level. We describe the computation of this particular semantics, based on the constraints that the superstructure impels to the argumentative power of terminal subsentences.

Once released, treebanks tend to remain unchanged despite any shortcomings in their depth of linguistic analysis or coverage of specific phenomena. Instead, separate resources are created to address such problems. In this paper we show how to improve the quality of a treebank, by integrating resources and implementing improved analyses for specific constructions.

Nevertheless, one must acknowledge that Bonfand’s book takes risks, and can even be called a theoretical tour de force. By rejecting citation and confronting painting and cinema according to their ‘phenomenologicallity’, Bonfand truly ponders the relation between painting and cinema beyond the box, even though the correlation between the two may sometimes seem too loose in a couple of chapters. Additionally, the different essays remain too randomly juxtaposed, which deprives the book from having a solid structure and argument.

Many Modern Ecological problems such as rain forest destruction, decreasing marine harvests, and fire suppression are directly or indirectly anthropogenic. Zooarchaeology and Conservation Biology presents an argument that conservation biology and wildlife management cannot afford to ignore zooarchaeological research--the identification and analysis of faunal remains recovered from archaeological deposits. The editors contend that we can learn important lessons by studying long-term human and nonhuman influences on biota and ecosystems.

A greater focus of this article, however, is on the institutional challenges presented by, and the efficiency of, effluent taxes. Depending on the type of system imposed, taxes do not guarantee more efficient outcomes than more standard forms of regulation. And, leaving politics aside, it can be institutionally demanding to put in place a system of effluent fees guaranteed to produce markedly better outcomes than more conventional systems of regulation. But, despite these difficulties, there remains a strong set of arguments for the use of taxes to control water pollution.

The negative coefficient of risk on leverage, both in market and book values, is in line with standard corporate finance arguments, but also consistent with the regulatory view. In its pure form, in which regulation constitutes the overriding departure from the Modigliani and Miller irrelevance proposition, a regulator could force riskier banks to hold more book equity. In that regard, omitting risk from the standard leverage regression (1) would result in spurious significance of the remaining variables. The results in Table VII show this is not the case.

Poverty and social inequalities in childhood have profound effects on the health of children, and their impact on health continues to reverberate throughout the life course into late adulthood. Globally and historically, poverty has been the major determinant of child and adult health1 and, even in rich nations such as the UK, it remains a major cause of ill health with huge public health consequences.

Exchanges have suggested several complementary rationales for establishing themselves as a source of corporate governance-related regulations. In essence, by raising transparency and discouraging illegal or irregular practices, exchanges are themselves able to accumulate an amount of “reputational capital”.

This is the first comprehensive study for nearly 200 years of what remains of the writings of the Presocratic philosopher Philolaus of Croton (470-390 B.C.). Professor Huffman presents the fragments and testimonia with accompanying translations and introductory chapters and interpretive commentary. He produces further arguments for the authenticity of much that used to be neglected, and undertakes a critique of Aristotle's testimony, opening the way for a quite new reading of fifth-century Pythagoreanism in general and of Philolaus in particular....

Speech and hearing are closely linked human abilities. It could be said that human speech is optimised toward the frequency ranges that we hear best, or perhaps our hearing is optimised around the frequencies used for speaking. However whichever way we present the argument, it should be clear to an engineer working with speech transmission and processing systems that aspects of both speech and hearing must often be considered together in the field of vocal communications. However, both hearing and speech remain complex subjects in their own right. Hearing particularly so....

All this was on my mind when the Secretary-General presented me with an argument to which there was no convincing rebuttal: No other political leader had become Prime Minister with a background of several years of political struggle, nationally and internationally, as an environment minister. This gave some hope that the environment was not destined to remain a side issue in central, political decision making. In the final analysis, I decided to accept the challenge. The challenge of facing the future, and of safeguarding the interests of coming generations.

161 In each of these examples, the bracketed clause is a control clause containing a PRO argument. In each case, PRO is the thematic complement of a passive participle (viz. betrayed/indicted/accused). Hence, if control to has no [EPP] feature and PRO remains in situ, the TP in the bracketed infinitive complement in (46b) will have the skeletal structure (47a) below, but if control to has an [EPP] feature, this will trigger movement of PRO to become the structural subject of to – as in (47b): (47)(a) (b) [CP [C ø] [TP [T to] [AUXP themselves [AUX be] [VP [V indicted]...

The role of interest rate in the determination of investment and, hence economic growth, has been a matter of controversy over a long period of time. Yet, what constitutes an appropriate interest rate policy still remains to be a puzzling question. Until the early 1970s, the main line of argument was that because the interest rate represents the cost of capital, low interest rates will encourage the acquisition of physical capital (investment) and promotes economic growth. Thus, during that era, the policy of low real interest rate was adopted by ...
