Social Determinants to Real FreedomsAn Empirical Development of the Capabilities Approach

Creator:: Trujillo, Michael A.
Abstract:: In the Capabilities Approach literature “capabilities” are the real freedoms individuals possess to achieve certain “functionings,” which are the doings and beings that constitute a good life. I argue that this approach requires, or at least can benefit from, an account of the psychosocial mechanisms involved in capability limitation. The...

Race, IQ, and the Search for Statistical Signals Associated with So-Called “X”-Factors: Environments, Racism, and the “Hereditarian Hypothesis”

Creator:: Kaplan, Jonathan Michael
Abstract:: Some authors defending the "hereditarian" hypothesis with respect to differences in average IQ scores between populations have argued that the sorts of environmental variation hypothesized by some researchers rejecting the hereditarian position should leave discoverable statistical traces, namely changes in the overall variance of scores or in variance-covariance relating scores...

The pen as mighty as the microscope : ethical issues in science and medical journalism

Optimal Fisheries Management in the Presence of an Endangered Predator and Harvestable Prey

Creator:: Kaplan, Jonathan D. and Smith, Martin D.

Moral Truth and Hume's Fork: The Prospects of Reconciliation

Creator:: Embleton, Clark A.
Abstract:: Hume’s division of truth into agreement with matters of fact or relations of ideas casts doubt on our capacity to have moral knowledge, as moral propositions do not seem to fall obviously into either category. This thesis looks at how two views, ‘descriptive moral functionalism’ and ‘moral concept essentialism’, try...

Realism, Antirealism, and Conventionalism about Race

Creator:: Kaplan, Jonathan Michael and Winther, Rasmus Grønfeldt
Abstract:: This paper distinguishes three concepts of “race”: bio-genomic cluster/race, biological race, and social race. We map out realism, antirealism, and conventionalism about each of these, in three important historical episodes: Frank Livingstone and Theodosius Dobzhansky in 1962, A.W.F. Edwards’ 2003 response to Lewontin (1972), and contemporary discourse. Semantics is especially...

The Impact of Malolactic Fermentation Conducted by Oenococcus oeni on Brettanomyces bruxellensis Growth and Volatile Phenol Production

Creator:: Lauderdale, Adam D.
Abstract:: Wine is particularly vulnerable to infection by Brettanomyces bruxellensis during or shortly after malolactic fermentation (MLF). While different methods and techniques enable winemakers to prevent wine spoilage due to this organism, no single intervention is universally sufficient. Moreover application of sulfur dioxide, the most commonly used of these methods, is...
