Περὶ τῶν συμβολῶν. La question de l’isopoliteia chez Philippe Gauthier

After a few preliminary remarks on Philippe Gauthier’s conception of the relationship between law and history, we turn more specifically to chapter 7 of the Symbola, devoted to isopoliteia, to assess the current relevance of the author’s hypotheses on this granting and sometimes exchange of citizenship between cities and/or koina. Since the aim of the book is to study all forms of judicial protection for passing foreigners, the question is whether isopoliteia is one of them. The author proceeds, as he does elsewhere, by analysing cases, in particular the agreement between Pontic Olbia and Miletus (Miletus I.3, 136) as well as the whole dossier linking the Cretan Epikles of Waxos with the Aetolians (Syll3, 622A and B). Three guidelines are followed here, allowing the work to be placed in a historiographical perspective with reference to the later books by W. Gawantka (1975) and S. Saba (2020): the use of the term isopoliteia in Greek and the contours of isopolity as constructed by modern historians; the definition of the term and the content to be given to it; finally, the question of the legal and judicial scope of isopoliteia. On this last point, Gauthier’s conclusion still seems convincing, since the decrees and agreements of isopoliteia provide their beneficiaries with real protection. On the other hand, in line with recent work, the present article is more critical on the question of dual citizenship: this was largely rejected by Gauthier on the grounds that one citizenship would exclude another, which is not proven for either the Classical or Hellenistic periods. Finally, in relation to dual or multiple citizenship, I question the relevance of the notion of “potential citizenship” used by Gauthier who follows the tradition of Szánto, in relation to the politeia granted on an individual or collective basis: this, in fact, poorly accounts for the actual use of the privileges it contained.

HYBRID RECOMMENDER FOR VIRTUAL ART COMPOSITIONS WITH VIDEO SENTIMENTS ANALYSIS

Topicality. Recent studies confirm the growing trend to implement emotional feedback and sentiment analysis to improve the performance of recommender systems. In this way, a deeper personalization and current emotional relevance of the user experience is ensured. The subject of study in the article is a hybrid recommender system with a component of video sentiment analysis. The purpose of the article is to investigate the possibilities of improving the effectiveness of the results of the hybrid recommender system of virtual art compositions by implementing a component of video sentiment analysis. Used methods: matrix factorization methods, collaborative filtering method, content-based method, knowledge-based method, video sentiment analysis method. The following results were obtained. A new model has been created that combines a hybrid recommender system and a video sentiment analysis component. The average absolute error of the system has been significantly reduced. Added system reaction to emotional feedback in the context of user interaction with virtual art compositions. Conclusion. Thus, the system can not only select the most suitable virtual art compositions, but also create adaptive and dynamic content, which will increase user satisfaction and improve the immersive aspects of the system. A promising direction of further research may be the addition of a subsystem with a generative neural network, which will create new virtual art compositions based on the conclusions of the developed recommendation system.

Professionalization for Education for Sustainable Development through Action Research using the Example of a University Course

The interdisciplinary character as well as the current and future relevance of the sustainability debate with all its inherent dilemmas and uncertainties, can provide fertile ground for educational innovation. Against this background, a team at the University of Klagenfurt, together with FORUM Umweltbildung and colleagues at teacher training colleges in Austria, designed the four-semester in-service course "BINE - Education for Sustainable Development - Innovations in Education". The aim of BINE is that the participants deal with the topics of sustainable development (SD) and education for sustainable development (ESD) as a learning community. An important element of this is the systematic reflection of innovations in their own practice within the framework of an action research study. The action research process provides a learning basis to promote the concepts of ESD as well as research and implementation skills of the participants. While sustainability topics are used as a vehicle for emancipatory education on the one hand, they are intended to trigger concrete sustainable social development processes on the other. This implies a great challenge, but also holds considerable potential for educational processes. With regard to sustainable development, education in the context of ESD means addressing questions in concrete fields of action about how the future can be shaped sustainably. This includes precise observation, analysis, evaluation and cooperative design of a concrete situation. Reflective action competence - and not blind action or unreflective action patterns - is a main goal of learning (Rauch & Pfaffenwimmer 2020).

2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) sensitization, a global epidemic at its peak in Spain?

A global epidemic of allergic contact dermatitis to (meth)acrylates has been described in relation to the widespread use of manicure products. To evaluate the frequency of sensitization to 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) among consecutively patch tested patients with eczema in Spain; the percentage of current relevance; the MOAHLFA index; and, the potential sources of exposure to (meth)acrylates. From January 2019 to December 2022, 2-HEMA 2% pet. was prospectively patch tested in 24 REIDAC (Spanish Allergic Contact Dermatitis Registry) centres. Six thousand one hundred thirty-four patients were consecutively patch tested with 2-HEMA 2% pet. 265/6134 (4.3%) were positive. Positive reactions of current relevance were identified to involve 184/265 (69%). The efficiency (number of patch tests needed to detect relevant positive patch test reactions) was 34 (6134/184). The variable 'occupational' was found to be significantly associated with a higher risk for relevant positive reactions to 2-HEMA (OR: 10.9; 95% CI: 8.1-14.9). (Meth)acrylate sensitization is a prevalent health issue in Spain. 2-HEMA 2% pet. has been identified to be a highly effective (meth)acrylate allergy marker in the GEIDAC baseline series. The responsible authorities should implement policies guaranteeing accurate labelling of industrial, medical, and consumer materials while ensuring the enforcement of said labelling through appropriate legal means.

Enhancing Postoperative Cochlear Implant Care With ChatGPT-4: A Study on Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Assisted Patient Education and Support.

Cochlear implantation is a critical surgical intervention for patients with severe hearing loss. Postoperative care is essential for successful rehabilitation, yet access to timely medical advice can be challenging, especially in remote or resource-limited settings. Integrating advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools like Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT)-4in post-surgical care could bridge the patient education and support gap. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of ChatGPT-4 as a supplementary information resource for postoperative cochlear implant patients. The focus was on evaluating the AI chatbot's ability to provide accurate, clear, and relevant information, particularly in scenarios where access to healthcare professionals is limited. Five common postoperative questions related to cochlear implant care were posed to ChatGPT-4. The AI chatbot's responses were analyzed for accuracy, response time, clarity, and relevance. The aim was to determine whether ChatGPT-4 could serve as a reliable source of information for patients in need, especially if the patients could not reach out to the hospital or the specialists at that moment. ChatGPT-4 provided responses aligned with current medical guidelines, demonstrating accuracy and relevance. The AI chatbot responded to each query within seconds, indicating its potential as a timely resource. Additionally, the responses were clear and understandable, making complex medical information accessible to non-medical audiences. These findings suggest that ChatGPT-4 could effectively supplement traditional patient education, providing valuable support in postoperative care. The study concluded that ChatGPT-4 has significant potential as a supportive tool for cochlear implant patients post surgery. While it cannot replace professional medical advice, ChatGPT-4 can provide immediate, accessible, and understandable information, which is particularly beneficial in special moments. This underscores the utility of AI in enhancing patient care and supporting cochlear implantation.

Allergic or Not: Final Interpretation of Doubtful Patch Test Reactions From the North American Contact Dermatitis Group, 2019-2020.

Background: Doubtful patch test reactions generally do not meet criterion for positivity in patch testing. However, the North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG) allows for doubtful reactions to be coded with a final determination of "allergic/positive" based on the temporal pattern, appearance, known characteristics of the allergen, and/or other supportive patch test reactions. Objectives: To analyze NACDG data from the 2019-2020 patch test cycle to identify patterns in the interpretation and relevance of doubtful reactions. Methods: The frequency and proportions of doubtful reactions were tabulated and analyzed for patterns. Statistical analyses were limited to allergens with ≥30 doubtful reactions to ensure adequate sample size. Results: Of patch-tested patients, 31.9% (1315/4121) had ≥1 doubtful reaction. Of 2538 total doubtful reactions, 46% (n = 1167) had a final interpretation of "allergic/positive." The allergens with the highest proportion of doubtful reactions at the final visit were hydroperoxides of linalool 1% (4.5%), fragrance mix I 8.0% (3.9%), and cetrimonium chloride 0.5% (3.4%). Methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone (MCI/MI) 0.02% (P < 0.001), MI 0.2% (P < 0.001), nickel sulfate hexahydrate 2.5% (P = 0.001), and neomycin sulfate 20.0% (P = 0.003) doubtful reactions were more likely to be interpreted as allergic than nonallergic. Methyldibromoglutaronitrile/phenoxyethanol 0.2% (P < 0.001), oleamidopropyl dimethylamine 0.1% (P < 0.001), formaldehyde 2.0% (P < 0.001), cetrimonium chloride 0.5% (P < 0.001), benzophenone-4 (sulisobenzone) 10% (P < 0.001), iodopropynyl butylcarbamate 0.5% (P < 0.001), cocamidopropyl betaine 1.0% (P = 0.002), and benzisothiazolinone 0.1% (P = 0.012) doubtful reactions were less likely to be interpreted as allergic. Of the 1167 doubtful reactions interpreted as allergic, 84.9% had current relevance. Conclusions: Doubtful reactions were common and approximately one half were coded with a final interpretation of "allergic/positive." Of those, most were clinically relevant. MCI/MI, MI, nickel, and neomycin were more likely to be interpreted as allergic.

On the Derivation of Closed‐Form Expressions for Displacements, Strains, and Stresses Inside Poroelastic Reservoirs

AbstractWe critically review the derivation of closed‐form analytical expressions for elastic displacements, strains, and stresses inside a subsurface reservoir undergoing pore pressure changes using inclusion theory. Although developed decades ago, inclusion theory has been used recently by various authors to obtain fast estimates of depletion‐induced and injection‐induced fault stresses in relation to induced seismicity. We therefore briefly address the current geomechanical relevance of this method, and provide a numerical example to demonstrate its use to compute induced fault stresses. However, the main goal of our paper is to correct some erroneous assumptions that were made in earlier publications. While the final expressions for the poroelastic stresses in these publications were correct, their derivation contained conceptual mistakes due to the mathematical subtleties that arise because of singularities in the Green's functions. The aim of our paper is therefore to present the correct derivation of expressions for the strains and stresses inside an inclusion and to clarify some of the results of the aforementioned studies. Furthermore, we present two conditions that the strain field must satisfy, which can be used to verify the analytical expressions.

Systemic and surgical treatment in renal cell carcinoma: Does timing matter?

417 Background: Today, targeted systemic therapy is standard 1st line treatment of advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma (aRCC). Upfront cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) has been an important treatment option. Recently its role is under debate, especially in combination with the new 1st line treatments. Our study evaluated the current relevance of initial surgical intervention and the role of inductive systemic therapy in aRCC. Methods: We included 33 patients with aRCC from the University Hospitals in Essen and Münster initiating 1st line treatment from 03/18 to 01/23 pre or post surgery. We retrospectively formed two cohorts, either CN followed by systemic therapy (cohort 1; 13 patients) or vice versa (cohort 2; 20 patients). Patients received either Ipilimumab/Nivolumab (Ipi/Nivo) (42.4%) or a checkpoint inhibitor and tyrosine kinase inhibitor (CPI/TKI) combination (57.6%). Progression-free survival (PFS) was estimated with Kaplan-Meier-method from initiation of systemic therapy or CN to progression or death. In Cohort 2, we additionally analyzed the radiologic response of the primary measured by change of the longest diameter. The radiographic response was analysed according to RECIST1.1. Results: Patients’ age ranged from 44 to 80 years with a median of 63 years. Intermediate and poor prognosis occurred in 61.3% and 38.7% of cases. The two cohorts did not differ significantly regarding baseline characteristics. Median PFS was 8 vs. 23 months (p=0.03) in cohort 1 (95% CI 0.9-15.1) compared to cohort 2 (95% CI 18.8-27.2). In cohort 2 the time between start of systemic therapy and surgery was in median 8.5 months (95% CI 3.3-21.1), the primary had a median diameter of 10.7 cm (95% CI 4.5-13.3). Median reduction of the primary was in total 32.2%, 28.9% in the Ipi/Nivo and 34.7% in the CPI/TKI group (p=0.74). In seven patients (35%) response led to modification of the surgical approach, enabling partial instead of radical nephrectomy. Conclusions: The sequence of systemic therapy followed by surgery was associated with a significant PFS benefit. In addition, prior systemic therapy led to a primary reduction and better operability, in some cases even to kidney sparing surgery. Major limitation is the retrospective nature of our analysis and a potential selection bias. However, the sequence of prior systemic therapy followed by surgery in aRCC was associated with notably better outcomes.

The numerous medical breakthroughs stem cell therapy can provide have led to stem cell research experiencing a surge in popularity. Thus, as modern technology develops, stem cell research may become a turning point for the medical field. Stem cell therapy provides several advantages over traditional treatments like surgical procedures, including lower risks, the absence of surgical wounds, and a non-invasive approach. Besides, undifferentiated organism treatment holds more potential to treat a more extensive assortment of illnesses compared with conventional medicines. This writing survey talks about late discoveries on numerous kinds of immature microorganisms, examining their sources, current clinical relevance, and expected potential outcomes. In particular, this audit looks at the accompanying areas of undeveloped cell research: undifferentiated cell treatment in regenerative medication; instigated pluripotent undifferentiated cells (iPSCs) and sickness demonstration; undeveloped cells and neurodegenerative infection; undeveloped cells and immunotherapy; undeveloped cells in regenerative medication; and, whats more, immature microorganisms and maturing. Through our examination, the paper has found that immature microorganisms have extraordinary potential for relieving infections that are impervious to conventional medicines. In any case, moral contemplations remain a worry, and there are as yet many difficulties to beat in the field. This audit means to sum up and look at the momentum of immature microorganism research while likewise featuring the far-reaching capability of undifferentiated cell movement in medication.

The article examines the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, which led to radioactive contamination in the environment, which significantly exceeds acceptable levels of radiation safety. According to the data of the DSNS of Ukraine, as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, 95% of the territory of Ukraine became aware of high-level radioactive contamination. The main consequences of the accident were: radioactive contamination of warehouse parts by ecosystems: summer-, liquid-atmosphere, soil and soil surfaces; influx on living organisms; extraction of significant territories and natural resources from folk resources. The biggest blow, which is impossible to evaluate in penny equivalent, is that the accident took a toll on the health of Ukrainians. In this regard, the problem exists for both the current and future generations. The current relevance and necessity of investigating the traces of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant does not raise everyday doubts. Therefore, the development of environmental, medical, social and economical research will be sufficiently expanded on the scientific level and on the level of society. Today, tourists are increasingly interested in new types of tourism, which include unique tourist destinations, including those associated with manmade disasters. One of the worst man-made disasters in human history is the accident of 1986. At the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant there are some remarkable legacies to this day. For those who want to learn from their eyes and perceive the atmosphere of the legacy of this terrible catastrophe, there is more to come. The Chornobyl tourist route is popular among both foreign and domestic tourists. The legacy of the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant is complex and richly nuanced, and is being studied by a wide range of scientists – geographers, ecologists, economists, sociologists, etc. oh Ecological-geographical, landscape and medical-geographical aspects of the identified problems are developed in the scientific research of V. Baranovsky, D. Grodzinsky, V. Davidchuk, V. Dol Ina, M. Petrova, E. Sobotovicha, L. Sorokina, V. Shevchenko.

Lo posthumano en la era del Antropoceno. Transhumanismo, hibridación y agencia no-humana en la trilogía Arrebato, de Enki Bilal

In Enki Bilal’s graphic novel trilogy Coup de sang (2009-2015), the Francophone author depicts the Earth’s decision, after centuries of suffering anthropogenic environmental damage, to transform into a hostile space for humans. This phenomenon, as will be demonstrated, is related to contemporary discourses surrounding non-human agency in the Anthropocene era. In the post-apocalyptic environment in which Animal’z (2009), Julia &amp; Roem (2011), and La Couleur de l’air (2014) take place, characteristic of the imagination of the Anthropocene and the climate fiction genre, the few survivors have adopted a hybrid human-animal mode of existence in their desperate attempt to survive. This raises issues of current relevance within the framework of post-humanist and post-anthropocentric philosophical currents by blurring the existing boundaries between the human and the non-human, while also referring to the possibilities and dangers of transhumanist technology.

РЕТРОСПЕКТИВНИЙ АНАЛІЗ СПОЖИВЧОГО КОШИКА НАСЕЛЕННЯ ТА ЗМІНИ В СПОЖИВАННІ ПРОДУКТІВ ХАРЧУВАННЯ НАСЕЛЕННЯМ УКРАЇНИ

The article is devoted to consideration of the issue of current relevance - the consumer basket of the population of Ukraine, as well as consumption of basic food products. The article conducts a retrospective analysis of the consumer basket of the population of Ukraine and studies the dynamics of consumption of basic foodstuffs on the basis of statistical data from official sources. The purpose of the article is to conduct a detailed retrospective analysis of the consumer basket in Ukraine, as well as to identify changes in the consumption of basic food products in recent years. The article is based on current research by Ukrainian scholars, as well as official statistics from the State Statistics Service. First, the author examines the theoretical foundations of the consumer basket - the definition, composition, importance of the consumer basket for Ukraine and its features. Then, by analysing open sources, the author identifies the main changes that have taken place in the context of the consumer basket in Ukraine in recent years, which shows that the consumer basket in Ukraine has hardly changed in recent years, and therefore does not meet the current needs of society. In addition, the article analyses the main changes in food consumption by the population of Ukraine for the period 2000-2020. The dynamics of consumption of all types of basic food products is considered, while determining the periods of maximum and minimum consumption. It has been established that in recent years the situation with food consumption has been unstable: Ukrainians consume an insufficient amount of food, which almost does not meet the current standards. The main factors influencing changes in food consumption are identified. The results obtained indicate the need for changes in the consumer basket of Ukrainians and bringing not only the food part, but also non-food goods and services in line with the needs of citizens. The results of the study can be used to improve the current content of the consumer basket of Ukrainians, as well as to provide Ukrainians with all the necessary food and non-food products for an adequate standard of living in a full-scale war.

From smart to caring technologies – The development of a guideline for Caring Technology implementation in elderly care.

Summary: As a shift from 'smart' to 'caring' technologies is needed, which puts the end-user's care needs at the forefront, we developed the Caring Technology guideline which is an added value for caring technology implementation in healthcare organisations. &#x0D; Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the needs and expectations associated with the implementation of caring technologies in elderly care and use this information to inform the development of a Caring Technology guideline. The Caring Technology guideline (developed in the context of the Interreg 2Seas project ‘EMPOWERCARE’) provides an eight-step procedure, supported tools and best practices to support a care organisation in the implementation of technology, and takes the 8 ‘Caring Technology Principles’ (developed by the King Baudouin Foundation) as an ethical reference. &#x0D; Design: Questionnaires and online in-depth interviews were conducted with EMPOWERCARE partner organisations to investigate the current use and relevance of the Caring Technology Principles, important aspects to be considered for the Caring Technology guideline, the contribution of technology trials to the guideline and the influence of the region of technology implementation on the interpretation of the principles or technology implementation. To include perspectives on these topics from outside the EMPOWERCARE project, we organised an online EMPOWERCARE Annual Event workshop with both EMPOWERCARE partners and external organisations, and an online workshop with care organisations in Zeeland. Lastly, a focus group with EMPOWERCARE partner organisations was conducted to discuss the most relevant target group for the Caring Technology guideline and to collect feedback on the proposed process guidance.&#x0D; &#x0D; Results: The region of technology implementation did not influence the use of principles or the implementation of technology. Participants currently focus on centralising end-users in healthcare technologies and on increasing digital literacy and technology acceptance for both end-users and the workforce. Principles such as quality assurance, democratic and participatory governance, and responsible innovation were less represented by the participants. Participants struggle with the theoretical aspect of the Caring Technology Principles. The reported challenges can be translated into the following tools in the Caring Technology guideline: a process guide, good practices and workshop formats. To this end, the Caring Technology guideline is an added value compared to existing initiatives. &#x0D; Conclusion: The present study elucidates the needs and expectations associated with technology implementation in elderly care. This input was used to inform the development of a Caring Technology guideline, based on the Caring Technology Principles. As there is, to our knowledge, no current initiative that is both based on guiding principles and provides a process guide for the practical implementation, the Caring Technology guideline that we propose is an added value for caring technology implementation in healthcare. Next steps include further testing and dissemination of the Caring Technology guideline. &#x0D;

The need for guaranteed social and labour compliance clauses in public contracts: An approach to the Spanish case

The work provides the contributions of an empirical study recently carried out by the University of Valencia (Spain) in collaboration with the Generalitat Valenciana (Regional Government). The work is mainly based on a qualitative methodology using in-depth interviews open to experts in the field (specifically 13) and on the presentations of renowned speakers at the 12th Economy Week of Alzira (Valencia), to which a content analysis was applied. Based on the results obtained and the multidisciplinary academic literature (labour relations, sociology, public administration and social responsibility), the debate concerns the feasibility of public administrations establishing, among their contracts for the procurement of works, services and supplies, some clauses that seek to ensure legal compliance in socio-labour matters of subcontracted companies with their workers. This question raises a new vision of a topic of current relevance and is a clear commitment to improvement of the health of organisations that would also affect labour relations.

FromPeople's KingtoKing of a Country: The Development of the Place Element Modifying the Title Paired in Apposition with a Personal Name Traced in thePeterborough Chronicle

AbstractA king was typically referred to aspeople's kingin the early period of Old English, whereas today,king of a countryis the most commonly used. This study attempts to trace the development of the place element modifying the title paired in apposition with a personal name in the tradition of vernacular English historiography as represented by thePeterborough Chronicle. There existed a strong tendency to specify a smaller land area (city, town, etc.) with the genitive form of the name of the place or with a prepositional phrase involving the place‐name and a larger one (kingdom, shire, etc.) with the genitive form of the name of the people living there in Early Old English. In later periods, however, the prepositional phrase was left as the only place element available for either a smaller or larger land area. Various prepositions heading the prepositional phrase became limited during the Old English period to just one in Early Middle English. Thus, the shift frompeople's kingtoking of a countrywas almost complete in Early Middle English. These findings are related to more general patterns of syntactic change in the noun phrase in English to highlight their current relevance.

A Tale of Two Tweets: What Factors Predict Forgiveness of Past Transgressions on Social Media?

As more of our lives take place online, it is increasingly common for public figures to have their current image tarnished by their mistakes and transgressions in what is often the distant past. Three experiments (N = 2,296) found that judgments of a public figure who tweeted racist statements in the past were less harsh when more time had passed and when the public figure was younger at the time of the tweet. However, politics also played a powerful role. Independent of time and age, liberals allowed less possibility of redemption for anti-Black tweets, while conservatives were less forgiving for anti-White tweets. Such partisan differences extended not only to moral judgments of the individual, but also general moral principles and participants' subjective perceptions of the situation itself, including subjective temporal distance from the tweet, the subjective age of the public figure, and the current relevance of the past statements.

Starea de bine a angajaților în cadrul echipelor de muncă

The current relevance and importance of well-being within teams stem from its positive impact on performance, employee satisfaction, mental health, and personal development. In today’s work environment, paying attention to and investing in the well-being of team members is crucial for achieving desired results and building a healthy and thriving organizational culture. This article presents the results of an experimental study conducted on 76 employees (46 women, 30 men) within a customer support organization, aged between 28 and 41. Among them, 68.4% (52) fall in the 28-35 age group, and 31.6% (24) are over 36 years old. The aim of this research was to identify employee well-being based on age and gender, and to analyze the role of team communication in influencing well-being.

Prospective Aspect and Current Relevance: A Case Study of the German Prospective Stehen vor NP Light Verb Construction

The paper presents a detailed corpus-based analysis of the German prospective stehen vor NP light verb construction. The starting point of the analysis is the claim that the construction is restricted to change-of-state nouns in the NP-internal position (Fleischhauer &amp; Gamerschlag 2019, Fleischhauer et al. 2019). Based on corpus data, I demonstrate that although the construction shows a strong preference for such nouns, other semantic types of nouns (such as state nouns or process nouns) occur in the construction as well. I argue that process nouns in particular require contextual support to be licensed within the construction. In the paper, I present an analysis of the prospective light verb construction in terms of current relevance. This analysis accounts for the observed preference for change-of-state NP-internal nouns as well as for the need to provide contextual support for process nouns. The notion current relevance is frequently employed in the analysis of the perfect aspect; the current paper represents the first attempt to extend this notion to the prospective aspect.*
