This chapter demonstrates that prophecy was a gendered phenomenon, but the prophetic role was not generally gender-specific, which is remarkable in the patriarchal cultures within which prophecy functioned. The chapter approaches the issue of gender and prophetic divination from a comparative perspective. First, a taxonomy of gender of the prophets and deities in the ancient Eastern Mediterranean is presented, followed by a discussion on the agency of the prophets from the gender point of view. The chapter concludes by analyzing the gendered representations of deities and their alleged agency, that of the goddess Ištar in particular.

Sanitary Conditions

Safety regulations are often highly general. They are a kind of idea addressed to the state authorities responsible for protecting an individual and shaping the level of a given security category. Sanitary and epidemiological safety is an extremely peculiar category of safety. Its policy will be to prevent the spread of infectious diseases among humans and animals and to ensure – through legal regulations and then appropriate action – improvement of sanitary conditions. The activities in this area are in a sovereign and inertia form, relying mainly on control and preventive actions. The considerations will revolve around legal measures aimed at guaranteeing sanitary and epidemiological safety. Current legal regulations affecting the level of this safety category will be analysed. Moreover, within the framework of this article, the sanitary condition of Poland will be presented in a comparative perspective for the years 2016–2018. The basis for consideration will be the reports of the Chief Sanitary Inspector on the sanitary condition of the country in a given year. This paper introduces graphs showing the presented data obtained from the survey of respondents. Legal measures have been analyzed from the point of view of their effectiveness and legitimacy of their existence in the legal reality.

Summary The arbitration agreement is one of the basic pillars and conditions of arbitration, without which arbitration cannot take place. In addition to the content requirements, it must be concluded in the required form in accordance with the relevant regulations. This article deals with the form of an arbitration agreement and on the example of various legal orders it shows the possibilities that can be encountered in the issue of formal requirements on an arbitration agreement. The comparative approach is intended to underline the importance of arbitration in international context and the importance of uniform, or at least similar, regulation from the point of view of legal certainty, for example. Despite the partial differences, it can be positively stated that the legal systems strive for a balance between informality and excessive formalism, and respect (also for practice) important principles important such as potius valeat actus quam pereat or the autonomy of the parties.

This issue of "Zeitsprünge" collects a variety of theoretical approaches to and exemplary readings of medieval and early modern practices of commentary from the point of view of Arabic, Latin, Jewish, English, German, and Romance Studies. Since antiquity, commentaries have accompanied sacred, cultural, and literary texts, serving to justify their relevance and canonicity. They have been instruments for the transmission of legal and religious norms and values, as well as purveyors of ancient knowledge which has to be preserved verbatim, and yet be kept open for future communication. At times, the commentary even attains a sovereignty of interpretation that can supersede or push aside any original intentions of the text. Thus, the study of commentary is key to describing aspects of authority, institutionality, creativity, and textual empowerment from a comparative perspective. The articles in this issue highlight the role that the study of commentary can play in a historical understanding of premodern and early modern textuality, epistemology, and mediality.

Abstract The present paper describes a transitivity distinction that is attested in some Tibeto-Burman (TB) languages of the West Himalayish (WH) subgroup. The relevant distinction is encoded by a set of dedicated markers that occur between verb stems and inflectional endings and group verbs into transitivity classes. The paper first offers a synchronic description of transitivity classes in the WH language Bunan, discussing their formal realization and functional motivation. Subsequently, the relevant transitivity classes are discussed from a historical-comparative perspective. It is argued that the transitivity distinction developed when an object agreement marker was reanalyzed as a marker of transitive verbs. The paper thus offers new perspectives on transitivity in TB from both a synchronic and a diacronic point of view, and adduces evidence for a hitherto underscribed reanalysis from “object agreement marker” > “marker of transitive verbs”.

ResumoA Guiana Francesa e o Amapá são territórios peculiares e pouco visitados pela historiografia brasileira. Ambos fisicamente localizados na América do Sul mas culturalmente considerados algo distintos, caribenhos e amazônicos de acordo com algumas visões. Assim, objetiva-se um estudo comparado do desenvolvimento no período colonial, com destaque para a invasão portuguesa e a anexação da Guiana Francesa entre 1809 e 1817, buscando delimitar mais claramente de que Caribe e de qual Amazônia que se trata.Palavras-chave: História, Caribe, AmazôniaAspects of Colonization in French Guiana and Amapa: comparative perspective and historical overlapsAbstractThe French Guiana and the Amapa are peculiar territories less visited for the Brazilian historiography.

The Impact

The term geo-sciences has been used here to include the disciplines geology, geophysics and geochemistry. However, in order to apply geophysics and geochemistry effectively one must begin with a geological model. Therefore, the science of geology should be used as the basis for lunar exploration. From an astronomical point of view, a lunar terrain heavily impacted with meteors appears the more reasonable; although from a geological standpoint, volcanism seems the more probable mechanism. A surface liberally marked with volcanic features has been advocated by such geologists as Bülow, Dana, Suess, von Wolff, Shaler, Spurr, and Kuno. In this paper, both the impact and volcanic hypotheses are considered in the application of the geo-sciences to manned lunar exploration. However, more emphasis is placed on the volcanic, or more correctly the defluidization, hypothesis to account for lunar surface features.

ABSTRACTThe mechanism by which a shepherd satellite exerts a confining torque on a ring is considered from the point of view of a single ring particle. It is still not clear how one might most meaningfully include damping effects and other collisional processes into this type of approach to the problem.

Potential Use

The origin of mica polytypes has long been a challenging problem for crystal- lographers, mineralogists and petrologists. From the petrological point of view, interest in this field arose from the potential use of layer stacking data to furnish further informations about equilibrium and/or kinetic conditions prevailing during the crystallization of the widespread mica-bearing rocks. From the compilation of previous experimental works dealing with the occurrence domains of the various mica "polymorphs" (1Mr, 1M, 2M1, 2M2 and 3T) within water-pressure vs temperature fields, it became clear that most of these modifications should be considered as metastable for a fixed mica species. Furthermore, the natural occurrence of long-period (or complex) polytypes could not be accounted for by phase considerations. This highlighted the need of a more detailed kinetic approach of the problem and, in particular, of the role growth mechanisms of basal faces could play in this crystallographic phenomenon.

1. Introduction. Studies of radiation damage in ceramics are of interest not only from a fundamental point of view but also because it is important to understand the behavior of ceramics in various practical radiation enyironments- fission and fusion reactors, nuclear waste storage media, ion-implantation devices, outer space, etc. A great deal of work has been done on the spectroscopy of point defects and small defect clusters in ceramics, but relatively little has been performed on defect agglomeration using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in the same kind of detail that has been so successful in metals. This article will assess our present understanding of radiation damage in ceramics with illustrations using results obtained from the authors' work.
