Consciousness via practice and participation: Interactivism vis-à-vis other theoretical accounts

description: The interactivist proposal presented by Christopher and Bickhard addresses fundamental issues of great importance for a metatheory of cultural psychology, especially one that is concerned with the detailed articulation of the origins of consciousness via practice and participation. Such issues include the much debated concepts of internalization, agency, levels of knowing and representation. While being an elegant account that offers interesting insights, its use of other approaches and theorists-be they classic or current-is irritating. This is particularly discussed in the cases of Karl Marx and, in greater detail, of Lev Vygotsky and his sociohistorical psychology. It is argued that dealing with these and other authors in more depth would be necessary, fruitful and sooner or later even indispensable, not only in order to avoid misinterpretations or to enrich the interactivist account, but also to answer the pre-eminent question as to the surplus of this proposal in comparison to others.

description: The truncation of an optically thick, geometrically thin accretion disk is investigated in the context of low luminosity AGN (LLAGN). We generalize the disk evaporation model used in the interpretative framework of black hole X-ray binaries by including the effect of a magnetic field in accretion disks surrounding supermassive black holes. The critical transition mass accretion rate for which the disk is truncated is found to be insensitive to magnetic effects, but its inclusion leads to a smaller truncation radius in comparison to a model without its consideration. That is, a thin viscous disk is truncated for LLAGN at an Eddington ratio less than 0.03 for a standard viscosity parameter ($α= 0.3$). An increase of the viscosity parameter results in a higher critical transition mass accretion rate and a correspondingly smaller truncation distance, the latter accentuated by greater magnetic energy densities in the disk. Based on these results, the truncation radii inferred from spectral fits of LLAGN published in the literature are consistent with the disk evaporation model. The infrared emission arising from the truncated geometrically thin accretion disks may be responsible for the red bump seen in such LLAGN.

Asceticism, gallantry, or polygamy? Alexander's relationship with women as a topos in medieval romance traditions

Subjects: subject: Alexander the Great

subject: Dewey Decimal Classification::900 | Geschichte und Geografie

description: The legend of the ancient Macedonian ruler Alexander the Great was infused with new life in the Middle Ages. Medieval literature cast him as a popular subject, a moral exemplum and a model to be emulated by the nobility. One important aspect of this legend was his relationship with women that can be read as a marker of the different representations of the Alexander figure and their cultural contexts. This study examines the Alexander legend as it was reinvented in three major medieval texts, written by the French cleric Gautier de Châtillon, the German writer Johann Hartlieb and the Persian poet Nizami. While Christian literary representations reinvent Alexander as an ascetic, chaste figure, exalting fidelity to one woman, his wife Roxane and alternatively as an ideal of gallantry and courtliness, the Persian romance tradition portrayed him as an energetic, polygamous lover. In each case, his attitude towards women is deployed as a symbol of his political attributes.

description: Introduction: The central nervous system (CNS) is commonly impacted in uremics and has been studied in these individuals in many ways. Various theories about the origin of central nervous system tract lesions in chronic renal failure have been proposed from time to time. In the majority of studies, urea has been implicated. Hemodialysis patients are at high risk of cognitive impairment due to their older age and high prevalence of stroke and cardiovascular risk factors. Aim: The goal is to investigate the NCCT Head findings in chronic renal failure patients. Materials and Methods: This is a one-year prospective study undertaken at GMC, Jammu, a tertiary care centre, from November 2016 to October 2017. In our study, 64 patients were included, 36 of whom were males (56.25 %) and 28 of whom were females (43.75%). Patients ranged in age from 18 to 60 years old. Results: Out of 64 patients undertaken in our study, 8 patients (12.5%) had ischaemic stroke, 6 patients (9.37%) had haemorrhagic stroke while 2 patients (3.12%) had both the lesions. Conclusion: In patients with chronic renal failure, neurologic symptoms have been documented frequently. CKD patients suffer from moderate to severe chronic cognitive impairment, which goes undiagnosed in the majority of cases.

description: The advantages of convergent beam electron diffraction for symmetry determination at the scale of a few nm are well known. In practice, the approach is often limited due to the restriction on the angular range of the electron beam imposed by the small Bragg angle for high energy electron diffraction, i.e. a large convergence angle of the incident beam results in overlapping information in the diffraction pattern. Techniques have been generally available since the 1980s which overcome this restriction for individual diffracted beams, by making a compromise between illuminated area and beam convergence. Here, we describe a simple technique which overcomes all of these problems using computer control, giving electron diffraction data over a large angular range for many diffracted beams from the volume given by a focused electron beam (typically a few nm or less). The increase in the amount of information significantly improves ease of interpretation and widens the applicability of the technique, particularly for thin materials or those with larger lattice parameters.

description: This submission deals with an alternative to the German Inheritance Tax Reform Act 2009 in form of an inheritance tax with a broad tax base and low tax rates. In contrast to the new German Estate Tax Act we analyse an inheritance tax reform proposal that provides no tax relief for particular asset categories but contains low proportional tax rates. Our empirical analysis shows that abolishing of tax exemptions and market valuation of assets lead to a remarkable broadening of the inheritance tax base and enables substantial tax rate cuts. © 2010, Verein für Socialpolitik und Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

description: Extreme environmental events frequently exhibit spatial and temporal dependence. These data are often modeled using Max Stable Processes (MSPs) that are computationally prohibitive to fit for as few as a dozen observations. Supposed computationally-efficient approaches like the composite likelihood remain computationally burdensome with a few hundred observations. In this article, we propose a spatial partitioning approach based on local modeling of subsets of the spatial domain that delivers computationally and statistically efficient inference. Marginal and dependence parameters of the MSP are estimated locally on subsets of observations using censored pairwise composite likelihood, and combined using a modified generalized method of moments procedure. The proposed distributed approach is extended to estimate inverted MSP models, and to estimate spatially varying coefficient models to deliver computationally efficient modeling of spatial variation in marginal parameters. We demonstrate consistency and asymptotic normality of estimators, and show empirically that our approach leads to statistically efficient estimation of model parameters. We illustrate the flexibility and practicability of our approach through simulations and the analysis of streamflow data from the U.S. Geological Survey.

description: This paper deals with the currently very productive process of i-formation in German. It is argued that in forming i-derived words speakers try to instantiate as closely as possible a specific schema with attributes such as the following: trochaic word structure with the unstressed final segment i, masculine gender assignment, human, and hypocoristic/pejorative meaning. The prototypical instances are defined by a maximal number of attributes. Consequently, a distinction has to be made between central and peripheral members of this formation type.

description: In Basu et al. 2011 we reported the detection of Off-pulse emission from two long period pulsars B0525+21 and B2045-16. The pulsars were observed at a single epoch using the 325 MHz frequency band of the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (GMRT). In this paper we report a detailed study of the Off-pulse emission from these two pulsars using multiple observations at two different frequencies, 325 MHz and 610 MHz bands of GMRT. We report detection of Off-pulse emission during each observation and based on the scintillation effects and spectral index of Off-pulse emission we conclude a magnetospheric origin. The magnetospheric origin of Off-pulse emission gives rise to various interesting possibilities about its emission mechanism and raises questions about the structure of the magnetosphere.

The frameworks have two-dimensional sheets of which the stoichiometry is the same as the framework containing only phth2-. Architecture, topology and thermal stability of the frameworks were examined. Temperature-dependent photoluminescent properties of the EuIII and TbIII frameworks were studied and discussed with reference to those containing only phth2- and bdc2-. The mixed EuIII/TbIII frameworks were also prepared and their temperature-dependent photoluminescent properties were investigated, revealing energy transfer from TbIII to EuIII and its dependence on EuIII content.

On the nature of `off' states in slowly rotating low-luminosity X-ray pulsars

description: We elaborate on a recently proposed model for subsonic quasi-spherical accretion onto slowly rotating pulsars, in which accretion is mediated through a hot quasi-static shell above the neutron star magnetosphere. We show that under the same external conditions, two regimes of subsonic accretion are possible, depending on if plasma cooling in the transition zone is dominated by Compton or radiative processes. We suggest that a transition from the higher luminosity Compton cooling regime to the lower luminosity radiative cooling regime can be responsible for the onset of the `off'-states repeatedly observed in several low luminosity slowly accreting pulsars, such as Vela X-1, GX 301-2 and 4U 1907+09. We further suggest that the triggering of the transition may be due to a switch in the X-ray beam pattern in response to a change in the optical depth in the accretion column with changing luminosity.

description: This paper describes an adaptive extended Kalman filter (AEKF) approach for geo-referencing tasks for a multi-sensor system (MSS). The MSS is a sensor fusion of a phase-measuring terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) with navigation sensors such as Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) equipment and inclinometers. The position and orientation of the MSS are the main parameters which are constant on a station and will be derived by a Kalman filtering process. Hence, the orientation of a TLS/MSS can be done without any demand for other artificial targets in the scanning area. However, using inclinometer measurements the spatial rotation angles about the X- and Y-axis of the fixed MSS station can be estimated by the AEKF. This makes it possible to determine all six degrees of freedom of the transformation from a sensor-defined to a global coordinate system. The paper gives a detailed discussion of the strategy used for the direct geo-referencing. The AEKF for the transformation parameters estimation is presented with focus on the modelling of the MSS motion. The usefulness of the suggested approach will be demonstrated using practical investigations.

description: Proximity-effect and resistance magneto-fluctuations measurements in submicron Nd1.2Ba1.8Cu3Oz (NBCO) nano-loops are reported to investigate coherent charge transport in the non-superconducting state. We find an unexpected inhibition of cooper pair transport, and a destruction of the induced superconductivity, by lowering the temperature from 6K to 250mK. This effect is accompanied by a significant change in the conductance-voltage characteristics and in the zero bias conductance response to the magnetic field pointing to the activation of a strong pair breaking mechanism at lower temperature. The data are discussed in the framework of mesoscopic effects specific to superconducting nanostructures, proximity effect and high temperature superconductivity.

description: Ruthenium complexes containing catecholamines and catechol as ligands with general formula [Ru(NH3)4(catecholamine)]Cl, where “catecholamine” is isoproterenol (in complex 1), dopamine (in complex 2), noradrenaline (in complex 3), catechol (in complex 4), or adrenaline (in complex 5), were synthesized. The complexes were characterized by vibrational and NMR spectroscopies, mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry, and spectroeletrochemistry. The electronic and electrochemical features were analyzed in terms of the electronic density, which is affected by ruthenium complexation and different substituent groups on the aromatic ring. Resonance Raman spectra displayed bands assigned to the Ru(II)-semiquinone stretching frequencies, which agreed with the charge transfer band. Theoretical calculations helped to evaluate the metal-non-innocent ligand orbital mixing. All the results suggested that Ru(II)-semiquinone complexes are formed, and that the unpaired electron is delocalized between the metal ion and the non-innocent ligand.

description: This paper treats the systematic injury analysis of lower arm robot–human impacts. For this purpose, a passive mechanical lower arm (PMLA) was developed that mimics the human impact response and is suitable for systematic impact testing and prediction of mild contusions and lacerations. A mathematical model of the passive human lower arm is adopted to the control of the PMLA. Its biofidelity is verified by a number of comparative impact experiments with the PMLA and a human volunteer. The respective dynamic impact responses show very good consistency and support the fact that the developed device may serve as a human substitute in safety analysis for the described conditions. The collision tests were performed with two different robots: the DLR Lightweight Robot III (LWR-III) and the EPSON PS3L industrial robot. The data acquired in the PMLA impact experiments were used to encapsulate the results in a robot independent safety curve, taking into account robot's reflected inertia, velocity and impact geometry. Safety curves define the velocity boundaries on robot motions based on the instantaneous manipulator dynamics and possible human injury due to unforeseen impacts.

description: Many sources in the fourth INTEGRAL/IBIS catalogue are still unidentified, since they lack an optical counterpart. An important tool that can help in identifying/classifying these sources is the cross-correlation with radio catalogues, which are very sensitive and positionally accurate. Moreover, the radio properties of a source, such as the spectrum or morphology, could provide further insight into its nature. Flat-spectrum radio sources at high Galactic latitudes are likely to be AGN, possibly associated to a blazar or to the compact core of a radio galaxy. Here we present a small sample of 6 sources extracted from the fourth INTEGRAL/IBIS catalogue that are still unidentified/unclassified, but which are very likely associated with a bright, flat-spectrum radio object. To confirm the association and to study the source X-ray spectral parameters, we performed X-ray follow-up observations with Swift/XRT. We report the results obtained from this search and discuss the nature of each source. 5 of the 6 radio associations are also detected in X-rays; in 3 cases they are the only counterpart found. IGR J06073--0024 is a flat-spectrum radio quasar at z=1.08, IGR J14488--4008 is a newly discovered radio galaxy, while IGR J18129--0649 is an AGN of a still unknown type. The nature of IGR J07225--3810 and IGR J19386--4653 is less well defined, since in both cases we find another X-ray source in the INTEGRAL error circle; nevertheless, the flat-spectrum radio source, likely to be a radio loud AGN, remains a viable and more convincing association in both cases. Only for IGR J11544--7618 could we not find any convincing counterpart since the radio association is not an X-ray emitter.

description: This text will analyze the commonly accepted philosophical foundation of human rights, the international system of protection of human rights and selected perspectives of activists. It argues that dominant European, North American and Australian discourses of human rights do not describe human rights as such but only constitute specific expressions of human rights, and attempts to outline the characteristics of these discourses. It concludes that the limitations of a concept of human rights based on the exclusive reference to the state, as well as on Eurocentrism and processes of othering, can only be overcome through intercultural polylogues based on respect and equality. Rather than focusing on the concept of rights and their development, this text focuses on the concepts of humans and human dignity. © The Author(s), 2009.

description: Using three well-designed experimental studies as illustration, we demonstrate that the biostatistical design and analysis of long-term animal studies simulating human osteoporosis should be analogous to the design and analysis of randomized clinical trials. This principal is in accordance with the recommendations from the International Conference on Harmonisation guidelines concerning statistical principles in clinical trials (1). An important element of biostatistical study design is sample size. The three studies that are described herein used an a-priori sample size estimation for the one-way layout that included controls and several treatment and dose groups. In these k-sample designs, with at least one control group, both the multiple comparison procedure and trend tests within procedures for identification of the minimal-effective dose are recommended. Although p-values in pharmacology are quite common, confidence intervals should be used according to their interpretation for both statistical significance and clinical relevance. The use of one-sided confidence intervals for both the difference and the ratio to control for proving either superiority or at least noninferiority is demonstrated by real data examples. Relevant and relatively straightforward software is available for biostatistical analysis and can also be used to aid design. In summary, referring to published, well-designed experimental studies can help to assist with ensuring the quality of future investigations. © 2004, Drug Information Association.

description: This paper argues that it is time for public understanding of science to develop a critical inventory of the forms, formats and methods of public participation and their respective implications and ambiguities. It highlights the need for analysing not only the limitations and deficiencies of participatory arrangements but also their constructive dimension, in particular the construction of the subject of participation. Looking into participatory governance arrangements in the issue area of genetic testing in Germany and the UK the paper presents a typology of formats according to the way the respective public is constructed and identifies four major constructions of publics: the general public, the pure public, the affected public and the partisan public. Each of these enables certain speaking positions while foreclosing others. The study shows that the main purposes of participatory arrangements in this issue area are knowledge production and education rather than political deliberation and decision-making. © 2010 The Author(s).
On the surface structure of sunspots

description: A precise knowledge of the surface structure of sunspots is essential to construct adequate input models for helioseismic inversion tools. We summarize our recent findings about the velocity and magnetic field in and around sunspots using HINODE observation. To this end we quantize the horizontal and vertical component of the penumbral velocity field at different levels of precision and study the moat flow around sunspot. Furthermore, we find that a significant amount of the penumbral magnetic fields return below the surface within the penumbra. Finally, we explain why the related opposite polarity signals remain hidden in magnetograms constructed from measurements with limited spectral resolution.

description: A generalized Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality for tilt-stable complexes on a smooth projective threefold was conjectured by Bayer, Toda, and the author. We show that such inequality holds true in general, if it holds true when the polarization is sufficiently small. As an application, we prove it for the three-dimensional projective space.

description: We report on the measurement of various flow harmonics, $v_n$, with multi-particle cumulants, and present the results from a study of the inter-correlation among different order symmetry planes $Ψ_n$ via multi-particle mixed harmonic correlations. This provides comprehensive experimental information on the fluctuating event-by-event shape of the initial conditions, which is currently among the main sources of large theoretical uncertainties in describing the evolution of the system created in heavy-ion collisions.

description: Introduction: Ludwig et al. coined the name NASH. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a type of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis that includes steatosis, steatohepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis and complications. Aim: The goal is to investigate the dietary, clinical, and other risk factors associated to NASH. Materials and Method: The current study was conducted in 2010 at the Department of Medicine, GMC, Jammu, on 60 NASH patients during a six-month period.All NASH patients were examined for a variety of NASH-related risk factors. A complete clinical examination and a detailed history were recorded. Results: Out of 60 patients, 28(46.66%) were males and 32(53.32%) were females. 85% of the patients were in the age group of 31-70 years. Conclusion: In our study, non-vegetarians accounted for 73.33% (44/60) of patients, while asymptomatic individuals accounted for 26.6% (16/60). The most common symptom was right subcostal pain (69.33%). This study showed that obesity, hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus were significantly associated with the NASH.

Polarized line transfer with F-state interference in a non-magnetic medium: Partial frequency redistribution effects in the collisionless regime

description: Quantum interference phenomena manifests itself in several ways in the polarized solar spectrum formed due to coherent scattering processes. One such effect arises due to interference between the fine structure (J) states giving rise to multiplets. Another effect is that which arises due to interference between the hyperfine structure (F) states. We extend the redistribution matrix derived for the J-state interference to the case of F-state interference. We then incorporate it into the polarized radiative transfer equation and solve it for isothermal constant property slab atmospheres. The relevant transfer equation is solved using a polarized approximate lambda iteration (PALI) technique based on operator perturbation. An alternative method derived from the Neumann series expansion is also proposed and is found to be relatively more efficient than the PALI method. The effects of PRD and the F-state interference on the shapes of the linearly polarized Stokes profiles are discussed. The emergent Stokes profiles are computed for hypothetical line transitions arising due to hyperfine structure splitting (HFS) of the upper J=3/2 and lower J=1/2 levels of a two-level atom model with nuclear spin I_s=3/2. We confine our attention to the non-magnetic scattering in the collisionless regime.

description: To understand the causes of disease and improve diagnosis and treatment regimes, biomedical researchers need access to large numbers of well-characterized data and samples. Over the past decade, biobanks have been established across Europe to collect and manage access to data and samples. The challenge that we face is how to develop the tools and collaborations to enable researchers to access samples and data from a network of biobanks, rather than applying to individual biobanks. One of the perceived stumbling blocks to achieving this is represented by the different legal requirements in each country. The aim of the BioSHaRE-European Union (EU) project is to address these challenges by developing tools and methods for researchers to access and use pooled data from different cohort and biobank studies. The purpose of this article is to identify and compare the key legal requirements regarding research use of data across biobanks based in Finland Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the UK. Our investigation starts with the analysis of the key differences for the use of data between these countries. As a result, we identified three key areas where legal requirements differ across the five BioSHaRE-EU jurisdictions, namely, in the definition of personal data, the requirements regarding pseudonymization and processing for medical research purposes. This article provides an overview of these differences and describes them in the light of the proposed EU regulation on data protection. © The Author(s) 2014.

Organisation and management theory

description: Management is the co-ordination of activities, operations and employees in an organisation to achieve a targeted goal. The concept of Management involves many things, which can be summarized into four broad categories – planning, organising, leading and controlling. Typically, these four are the functions of management. In order to carry out these management functions (listed above) in an organisation, a manager can choose to use a management practice or technique. For purposes of this journal, the focus will be on the practise of management by wandering about (MBWA).
