description: While multifaceted, a chief aim when designating parks and protected areas is to support the preservation of biological diversity, in part, through representing and conserving the full range of landscape conditions observed throughout a representative area. Parks and protected areas are, however, typically developed using a static interpretation of current biodiversity and landscape conditions. The observed and potential climate change impacts to biodiversity have created a need to also contemplate how parks and protected areas will respond to climate change and how these areas will represent the future range of landscape conditions. To assess change in biodiversity, broad-scale ecosystem information can be sourced from indirect remotely sensed indicators. Quantifying biodiversity through indirect indicators allows characterization of inter-relationships between climate and biodiversity. Such characterizations support the assessment of possible implications of climatic change, as the indicators can be generated using modeled forecasts of future climatic conditions. In this paper we model and map impacts of climate change on British Columbia’s parks and protected areas by quantifying change in a number of remotely sensed indicators of biodiversity. These indicators are based on the measured amount of incoming solar energy used by vegetation and map the overall annual energy utilization, variability (seasonality), and latent or baseline energy. We compare current conditions represented by parks and protected areas, to those forecasted in the year 2065. Our results indicate that parks and protected areas are forecasted to become more productive and less seasonal, due to increased vegetation productivity in higher elevation environments. While increased vegetation productivity may be beneficial for biodiversity overall, these changes will be particularly problematic for sensitive and specialist species. Future gaps in vegetation conditions protected by parks and protected areas are observed in the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains and the central interior region of British Columbia. Protected areas along the Coast Mountains, Vancouver Island highlands, and the Rocky Mountains show the greatest levels of change in the biodiversity indicators, including decreasing seasonality, with the Mountain Hemlock ecozone most at risk. Examples of large parks that are predicted to experience rapid change in vegetation characteristics include Strathcona, Garabaldi, and Kitlope. Our maps of future spatial distributions of indirect biodiversity indicators fill a gap in information products available for adaptive parks management and provide an opportunity for dialogue and further research on the use of future scenarios of landscape conditions in conservation planning.
“What’s Love Got To Do With It?” - Social Networking through Marriage in Andhra Pradesh, India
Creators: name: Merz, Rainer
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The paper suggests that extended family organisations in India can be regarded as social networks. Networking in this case includes arranged marriages. The empirical example of one middle class family in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh is presented. The paper shows how the arrangement of the marriage can be subdivided into four parts: the activation of the family network for the identification of possible marriage partners; the screening of the proposed family network in terms of a similar amount of social and cultural capital; the evaluation of the individual qualities of the proposed bride in terms of physical and monetary factors; and eventually the marriage itself. The implication is that arranged marriages still play an important role in present day India since the carefully expanded family social network is the easiest available appropriation avenue for its many members.

U.S. Aid and Foreign Policy towards Nepal during the Cold War: An Assessment
Creators: name: Khadka, Narayan
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: Foreign aid is basically an instrument of foreign policy. The United States was the first country to provide aid to Nepal in the height of the Cold War. As in the case of most of the recipients of U.S. aid, the United States employed aid to serve its fundamental foreign policy objectives. The paper examines the main foreign policy motivations of the United States in Nepal and evaluates how successful aid was in achieving those objectives. The paper concludes that although the Cold War considerations for aid are changed, the United States should continue to offer aid in sectors that may benefit the poorer section of society as the success or failure of Nepal’s democracy rests upon how fast the government manages to improve their economic conditions.

Migration und ethnische Identität der Sgaw-Karen und Lisu in Nordthailand
Creators: name: Platz, Roland
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The topic of this article is the impact of migration on the ethnic identity of Lisu and Karen in Northern Thailand. Although temporary migrants are cultural brokers in their home villages because they reinforce consumerism or Thai-Buddhist rituals, most Lisu and Karen tend to cling to their specific ethnic identity. Most town migrants in Chiangmai live in separate ethnic communities. Only the well educated are able and willing to change their ethnic identity situationally, but without denying their ethnic identity. Therefore the emotional attachment to one’s own ethnic identity in spite of all the differentiations in lifestyle nowadays is far more important than many authors postulated previously. Lisu are, however, more open to modem changes and intermarriage than Karen, who live togehter with their Thai neighbours much longer.

Ahnen, Helden, Revolutionäre. Symbole der Macht und Erinnerungsarbeit im modernen Indonesien
Creators: name: Schreiner, Klaus H.
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: Nation states need a constant re-affirmation of their ideological foundations by invocating important historical events and persons. Since the independence of the Indonesian nation-state its governments have worked out an intricate set of holidays and rituals around the dead and the fallen as symbols of the anti-colonial struggle. They created and maintained a common consciousness of being a nation among Indonesian citizens. Over the years the public veneration of dead persons became an important feature of Indonesian political culture during the periods of Sukarno’s Guided Democracy and Suharto’s New Order. The paper first analyses the spatial dimension of veneration of the dead, i.e. the many hero cemeteries and monuments. It goes on to interpret the ceremonial activities carried out on the respective holidays. By recurring to concepts such as “ancestor veneration” and “secondary burial” the paper investigates the cultural and historical background of the present form of veneration of the dead and its mode of functioning. Two case studies focusing on the monuments of Lubang Buaya and Kalibata and the rituals pertaining to them explain the structure of historical commemorations and their usage in contemporary Indonesia. The analysis culminates in the main thesis that the public veneration of important dead, be they ancestors, heroes, or revolutionary fighters, creates “national ancestors”. These ancestors are functional in shaping the ideologically desired historical consciousness of a national Indonesian past.

Abenteurer und Sultane. Der Sulu-Archipel in den Philippinen und deutsche Kolonialinteressen
Creators: name: Schult, Volker

Year: 2017

description: For centuries the Muslim population of the Sulu Archipelago has been involved in a struggle for independence, first against Spanish and American colonial domination and later the Philippine Republic. In his fight against Spanish colonialism in the latter part of the nineteenth century the Sultan of Sulu attempted to gain support from the German Empire by offering naval bases and even a protectorate. The men on the spot, however, played the crucial role of intermediaries. They were adventurers who ran the Spanish blockade of Sulu, delivering munitions to the Sultan. They acted for their own benefit but at the same time also as inofficial representatives of their country. The men on the spot turned out to be the driving force of a subimperialism involving Germany in a power struggle at the colonial periphery of the Philippines. After the spheres of influence had been delimited between the European powers, the influence of the men on the spot declined. Further diplomatic attempts of Germany to acquire a naval base in Sulu in the wake of the Spanish-American War in 1898 met with no success.

description: The effect of using sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), a high-dielectric-strength gas, for dry micro-electro-discharge machining (µEDM) of carbon-nanotube (CNT) forests is investigated. It is found that SF6 enables µEDM of CNTs without O2, which is known to be essential for CNT machining in N2. The process in the SF6 ambient is found to lead to a smaller discharge gap, i.e., tighter tolerance as well as higher machining quality at a discharge voltage level (25 V) compared with the case of N2 at the same voltage. N2 environment produces lower discharge gap when a voltage level of 10V is used. However, the quality of the machining (e.g. the inner post sidewall) seems to be somewhat poorer in this case, and rate of machining is somewhat lower. The mixture with 20% O2 in SF6 is revealed to be an optimum condition in terms of both machining tolerance and quality. CNT forests are used as the cathode in the SF6-based µEDM process, as opposed to conventional µEDM where the workpiece forms the anode. This reverse-polarity configuration in the SF6-O2 mixture is observed to generate higher discharge currents at low voltages, presumably due to effective field-emission by the CNTs, leading to finer and cleaner machining than the conventional normal-polarity case. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis reveals that the optimal machining conditions result in less contamination by the electrode element on the processed forest surfaces.

Innovating responses to crisis: exploring the principle of non-action as a foresight tool
Creators: name: Braidotti, Giovanna
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Forecasts that predict disastrous consequences for our most cherished economic activities have created an unbearable tension at the heart of modem societies. We stand accused by science of prospering at the cost of the future. Yet we are assured by economics that gains in prosperity guarantee future well being. One way of solving this tension, popular with governments, is the idea that technological innovation can provide sufficient fixes allowing modernity to stay on course with a fundamentally unaltered identity, vision and mission. In this context, 'innovation' is framed as an essentially conservative construct operated by a technocratic elite. As a change-making tactic, the techno-fix amounts to action framed exclusively in the positive polarity: it seeks to bolster an existing system by adding in relevant fixes. Yet the literature that refers to 'action' in all its developmental capabilities refers to a second, negative polarity - so-called 'non-action' - that is defined by renunciation. In view that non-action options are rarely discussed or formulated, this paper serves as an introductory exploration into the nature and value of non-action and makes the case that it offers foresight practitioners methodological possibilities for innovating responses to social and environmental crisis.
Effect of solution conductivity and electrode shape on the deposition of carbon nanotubes from solution using dielectrophoresis

Year: 2013

description: Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a popular technique for fabricating carbon nanotube (CNT) devices. The electric current passing through the solution during DEP creates a temperature gradient, which results in electrothermal fluid flow because of the presence of the electric field. CNT solutions prepared with various methods can have different conductivities and the motion of the solution because of the electrothermal phenomenon can affect the DEP deposition differently in each case. We investigated the effect of this movement in solutions with various levels of conductivity through experiments as well as numerical modeling. Our results show that electrothermal motion in the solution can alter the deposition pattern of the nanotubes drastically for high conductivity solutions, while DEP remains the dominant force when a low conductivity (surfactant-free) solution is used. The extent of effectiveness of each force is discussed in the various cases and the fluid movement model is investigated using two- and three-dimensional finite element simulations.

description: Localization is one of the most important capabilities of mobile robots. Thanks to the fast development of embedded computing hardware in recent years, many localization solutions, such as simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), have been vastly investigated. However, popular localization solutions rely heavily on the working environment and are not applicable to scenarios such as search and rescue in the wild, where the working environment is not accessible before the localization operation or where the environment lacks information on features and textures. The thesis thus proposes a design for an innovative localization sensor and a collaborative pose estimation scheme using the localization sensor in order to alleviate the reliance on information from the environment, while providing reliable and accurate pose estimates for mobile robots. The proposed collaborative pose estimation scheme is comprised of individual and collaborative landmark position estimation, localization sensor inter-calibration, and collaborative sensor pose estimation, among which the inter-calibration process ensures that the sensor provides capability to also estimate orientations. In the collaborative scheme, multiple instances of the proposed sensor collaborate to estimate their respective poses by measuring the relative distance and angle among them, where the measurement errors are characterized as Gaussian white noise. Two instances of the proposed localization sensor are implemented, and the collaborative scheme is tested with the instances in the thesis. Both sensor instances reliably and accurately estimate the position of a stationary landmark, and it is demonstrated that the collaboratively estimated position estimate is more accurate than its individual counterpart. Additionally, the two instances also demonstrate their ability to track and estimate the position of a moving landmark. Lastly, the inter-calibration is experimentally validated with the instances with satisfactory performance. The experimental results presented in this work confirm the feasibility and usability of the proposed collaborative pose estimation scheme in a wide range of robotic applications.

description: The escalating cost of claims for Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) supports the need to review and upgrade current hearing conservation practices. The rise of these escalating costs and the need to protect the military personnel when training in extreme noise conditions has initiated an engineering investigation within the Department of National Defence (DND) and in collaboration with the University of Ottawa, to review the existing standards in the field of hearing protection test and evaluation, to propose technical recommendations and to identify the possible technical problems and gaps impacting the quality of the existing procedures. This study dealt with the estimation of the protection capability of Hearing Protection Devices (HPDs) in the case of high-level impulse noise from small firearms weapons that are a particularly damaging source of noise in military environments, representing an important cause of NIHL. Testing and evaluation based on a system engineering approach have been used in this work introducing: - A new testing approach, based on ANSI/ASA S12.42-2010, for testing HPDs when the impulse noise is generated by a small firearm; - A new evaluation approach for HPD performance, introducing a characterization approach using a sub-band analysis for dealing with impulse noise generated by a small firearm. The effectiveness of HPDs, taking into account the physiological human limitations induced by Bone Conduction (BC), is computed by using an innovative method attempting to better prevent the risk of NIHL when using small firearms.

description: Muttermilch ist im ersten halben Lebensjahr die ideale Ernährung für Säuglinge und bietet gesundheitliche Vorteile für Kind und Mutter. Im Rahmen des Gesundheitsmonitorings des Robert Koch-Institutes werden mit der Studie zur Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen in Deutschland (KiGGS) in regelmäßigen Abständen bevölkerungsbezogene Daten zur gesundheitlichen Lage der in Deutschland lebenden Kinder und Jugendlichen erhoben, darunter auch Angaben zum Stillen. Der vorliegende Artikel beschreibt das Stillverhalten anhand von Ergebnissen aus KiGGS Welle 2 (2014 bis 2017). Prävalenzen des Stillens und der Stilldauer der Geburtsjahrgänge 2009–2016 sowie Angaben zur Stillabsicht und Abstillgründe werden dargestellt. Die Ergebnisse aus KiGGS Welle 2 zeigen, dass die Stillquoten für jegliches Stillen zwischen den Geburtsjahrgängen 2009/2010 und 2013/2014 tendenziell angestiegen sind, während die Prävalenzen für volles und ausschließliches Stillen keine Veränderungen zeigen. Die Stillquoten für ausschließliches Stillen für mindestens vier bzw. sechs Monate (Geburtsjahrgänge 2012 bis 2016) lagen bei 40,0 % bzw. 12,5 %. Die durchschnittliche Stilldauer zeigt zwischen den Geburtsjahrgängen 2001 und 2014 keine wesentlichen Änderungen. Fast 90 % der Mütter beabsichtigten, ihr Kind nach der Geburt zu stillen, und 97 % dieser Mütter haben auch tatsächlich mit dem Stillen begonnen. Zu wenig Muttermilch wurde häufig als Problem genannt, sowohl von den Müttern, die beabsichtigt hatten zu stillen, jedoch nicht mit dem Stillen begonnen haben, als auch von Müttern, die ihre Säuglinge weniger als sechs Monate gestillt haben. Die KiGGS-Studie stellt, trotz einiger Limitationen, einen wichtigen Teil des Stillmonitorings dar. Durch die regelmäßige Datenerhebung und das weitestgehend gleichbleibende Studiendesign können zeitliche Trends sowie die Auswirkung von Maßnahmen zur Stillförderung in der Bevölkerung abgebildet werden. KiGGS Welle 2 zeigt, dass weiterhin Maßnahmen zur Stillförderung erforderlich sind.

description: Objective: Injured drivers with blood alcohol concentration (BAC) above the legal limit are rarely convicted of impaired driving. One explanation is that police may have difficulty recognizing alcohol intoxication in injured drivers. In this study we compare police documentation of alcohol involvement with BAC measured on arrival in hospital. Our objectives are to determine how often police document alcohol involvement in injured drivers with BAC > 0.05%, and identify factors that influence police documentation of alcohol involvement. Methods: We included injured drivers (1999 – 2003) who were admitted to a British Columbia (BC) trauma centre or treated in the Vancouver General Hospital emergency department. We used probabilistic linkage to obtain police collision reports. Police were considered to indicate alcohol involvement if i) police documented that alcohol contributed to the crash, ii) the driver received an administrative sanction for impaired driving, or iii) the driver was criminally convicted of impaired driving. The proportions of drivers for whom police indicated alcohol involvement was determined relative to age, gender, BAC levels, crash severity and crash characteristics. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors independently associated with police indication of alcohol involvement. Results: 2410 injured drivers (73.5% male) were matched to a police report. Overall, 857 (35.6%) drivers tested positive for alcohol (BAC > 0) and 736/857 (85.9%) of alcohol positive drivers had a BAC > 0.05% (the BC legal limit). Of the 736 drivers with BAC > 0.05% at time of admission, police indicated alcohol involvement in 530 (72.0%). The criminal code conviction rate for impaired driving was 4.7% for drivers with 0.08% ≤ BAC < 0.16%, and 13.6% for drivers with BAC > 0.16%. The following factors were associated with higher odds of police indicating alcohol involvement: i) increasing blood alcohol levels, ii) a prior record of impaired driving, iii) involvement in a single vehicle crash, iv) involvement in a night time crash, and v) traffic violations or unsafe driving actions recorded by police. Conclusions: Police recognized and documented alcohol involvement in 72% of injured drivers with BAC ≥ 0.05%. Police documentation of alcohol involvement is more common at higher BAC levels, in night time or single vehicle crashes, for drivers who committed traffic violations or drove unsafely, and for drivers with a prior record of impaired driving. The low conviction rate of injured impaired drivers does not appear to be due to police inability to recognize alcohol involvement.

description: The opportunity to gain professional industry experience for accounting students while undertaking their undergraduate degree provides them with both a competitive edge in the marketplace and an opportunity to experience the activities undertaken in their chosen profession. Structured experiential learning programs provide students with the practical opportunity to apply their knowledge in an industry context and also to reflect on their personal learning journey. This paper explores the learning contribution of students' reflection based assessments in an innovative and flexible internship program based on an e-learning framework. Through a preliminary investigation, it has been identified that after undertaking this internship program, accounting students from an Australian regional university have advanced their learning pertaining to workplace preparedness, understanding and application of accounting principles, generic skill enhancement, and consolidation of accounting as their chosen professional career. The paper suggests that an internship program such as the one examined contributes to the professional accountancy bodies' and community's expectations of accounting graduates possessing key cognitive and behavioural skills.

description: Background: As fiscal constraints dominate health policy discussions across Canada and globally, priority-setting exercises are becoming more common to guide the difficult choices that must be made. In this context, it becomes highly desirable to have accurate estimates of the value of specific health care interventions. Economic evaluation is a well-accepted method to estimate the value of health care interventions. However, economic evaluation has significant limitations, which have lead to an increase in the use of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA). One key concern with MCDA is the availability of the information necessary for implementation. In the Fall 2011, the Canadian Physiotherapy Association embarked on a project aimed at providing a valuation of physiotherapy services that is both evidence-based and relevant to resource allocation decisions. The framework selected for this project was MCDA. We report on how we addressed the challenge of obtaining some of the information necessary for MCDA implementation. Methods MCDA criteria were selected and areas of physiotherapy practices were identified. The building up of the necessary information base was a three step process. First, there was a literature review for each practice area, on each criterion. The next step was to conduct interviews with experts in each of the practice areas to critique the results of the literature review and to fill in gaps where there was no or insufficient literature. Finally, the results of the individual interviews were validated by a national committee to ensure consistency across all practice areas and that a national level perspective is applied. Results Despite a lack of research evidence on many of the considerations relevant to the estimation of the value of physiotherapy services (the criteria), sufficient information was obtained to facilitate MCDA implementation at the local level. Conclusions The results of this research project serve two purposes: 1) a method to obtain information necessary to implement MCDA is described, and 2) the results in terms of information on the benefits provided by each of the twelve areas of physiotherapy practice can be used by decision-makers as a starting point in the implementation of MCDA at the local level.

description: An XML structural join evaluates structural relationships (e.g. parent-child or ancestor-descendant) between XML elements. It serves as an important computation unit in XML pattern matching. Several classical structural join algorithms have been proposed such as Stack-tree join and XR-Tree join. In this paper, we consider to answer the problem of structural join by partitioning. The Dietz numbering scheme is used for encoding since nodes with the Dietz encodings could be well distributed on a plane. We first extend the relationships between nodes to the relationships between partitions on a plane and obtain some observations and properties about the relationships between partitions. We then propose a new partition-based method, named P-Join for structural join between ancestor and descendant nodes based on the properties derived from our observations. Moreover, we present an enhanced partitioned-based structural join algorithm and two optimised methods. Extensive experiments show that the performance of our proposed algorithms outperform that of Stack-tree and XR-Tree algorithms. In order to store the partitioning results, we design a simple but efficient index structure, called PSS-tree. The experimental result shows that it has less maintenance overhead than XR-Tree.

description: Background: It is widely recognised that fast, effective hydrolysis of pretreated lignocellulosic substrates requires the synergistic action of multiple types of hydrolytic and some non-hydrolytic proteins. However, due to the complexity of the enzyme mixture, the enzymes interaction with and interference from the substrate and a lack of specific methods to follow the distribution of individual enzymes during hydrolysis, most of enzyme-substrate interaction studies have used purified enzymes and pure cellulose model substrates. As the enzymes present in a typical “cellulase mixture” need to work cooperatively to achieve effective hydrolysis, the action of one enzyme is likely to influence the behaviour of others. The action of the enzymes will be further influenced by the nature of the lignocellulosic substrate. Therefore, it would be beneficial if a method could be developed that allowed us to follow some of the individual enzymes present in a cellulase mixture during hydrolysis of more commercially realistic biomass substrates. Results: A high throughput immunoassay that could quantitatively and specifically follow individual cellulase enzymes during hydrolysis was developed. Using monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies (MAb and PAb, respectively), a double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to specifically quantify cellulase enzymes from Trichoderma reesei: cellobiohydrolase I (Cel7A), cellobiohydrolase II (Cel6A), and endoglucanase I (Cel7B). The interference from substrate materials present in lignocellulosic supernatants could be minimized by dilution. Conclusion: A double-antibody sandwich ELISA was able to detect and quantify individual enzymes when present in cellulase mixtures. The assay was sensitive over a range of relatively low enzyme concentration (0 – 1 μg/ml), provided the enzymes were first pH adjusted and heat treated to increase their antigenicity. The immunoassay was employed to quantitatively monitor the adsorption of cellulase monocomponents, Cel7A, Cel6A, and Cel7B, that were present in both Celluclast and Accellerase 1000, during the hydrolysis of steam-pretreated corn stover (SPCS). All three enzymes exhibited different individual adsorption profiles. The specific and quantitative adsorption profiles observed with the ELISA method were in agreement with earlier work where more labour intensive enzyme assay techniques were used.

Najin-Sonbong Free Economic and Trade Area in North Korea. Plans, Problems and Progress

description: The implementation of the concept of a Free Economic and Trade Area (FETA) as a strategic measure to stimulate economic transformation began with the creation of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in China. Although North Korea denies the compatibility of Chinese-style market orientation with its own self-sufficiency socialism, the sustained economic difficulty in the country is increasingly forcing the ruling communist party to adopt - at least partly - such an open-door policy. In this context, Pyongyang recently declared the two rather remote cities Najin and Sonbong and their surroundings as the first FETA in North Korea, mainly aiming at attracting foreign (including South Korean) investors with superior technologies, stimulating industrial and export activities and modernising the economic structure of this region. However, in contrast to the well-known successes of SEZs and their expansions in China, the recent North Korean experience with the Najm-Sonbong FETA has unfortunately been disappointing, although tax incentives and other privileges offered to foreign investors are more attractive than those in China. Apart from some crucial economic and infrastructure impediments which hinder large-scale foreign direct investments in North Korea, this study suggests that the inflexibility of the communist regime and the persisting political hostility between the two Koreas have damaged the development potentials and opportunities of the Najin-Sonbong FETA.

Aktuelle Aspekte der Urbanisierung in Jabotabek: Räumlicher und sektoraler Wandel in Metro-Jakarta

Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum

description: The rapid urbanization in Java is primarily based on the development of its metropolitan region Jabotabek, the mega-urban agglomeration around Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta. This article deals with the connection between economic, spatial and demographic change within Metro-Jakarta, South East Asia’s most densely populated urban region. Focus is put on recent aspects of metro-management and dynamic city development, which has been politically promoted since the beginning of Suharto’s pro-Western ‘New Order’ in the late 1960s. The deregulation packages of the last decade have resulted in enormous international capital influx, the creation of new towns and an increasing transformation of sectoral employment, which can not be controlled successfully by regional and local authorities. This is due to the dominance of private, partly international developers, whose interest in globalizing low-wage Jabotabek is footloose in character and at present limited due to Indonesia’s economic turmoil, which could postpone Jabotabek’s rise to a global region.

description: A beginner reader might think that my title is senseless: aren't sense and nonsense supposed to be opposed? Why seeking continuity there? The Stoics and after them this line that goes from Leibniz to Deleuze via Nietzsche, have revealed an intrinsic relationship of continuity between these two entities that common sense sees as contradictory. Although this continuity exists at least from a Stoic-Deleuzian viewpoint, its functioning and nature remain problematic. My goal here is to study this continuity to understand and actualize it, focusing, of course, on Deleuze’s writings, but also on Ricœur’s and Wittgenstein’s which will help me get a better sense of the generation of meaning and the relationship between nonsense and sense.
