AbstractThe classical concept of collisional orogens suggests that mountain belts form as a crustal wedge between the downgoing and overriding plates. However, this orogenic style is not compatible with the presence of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks far from the plate interface in the Bohemian Massif of Central Europe. Here we use a comparison between geological observations and thermo-mechanical numerical models to explain their formation. We suggest that continental crust was first deeply subducted, then flowed laterally underneath the lithosphere and eventually rose in the form of large partially molten trans-lithospheric diapirs. We further show that trans-lithospheric diapirism produces a specific rock association of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks and ultra-potassic magmas that alternates with the less metamorphosed rocks of the upper plate. Similar rock associations have been described in other convergent zones, both modern and ancient. We speculate that trans-lithospheric diapirism could be a common process.

AbstractThe fact that Veblen was a keen critic of the neo-classical concept of “economic man” is well known. However, the following issues have not been discussed in enough depth: how he rebuilt the traditional theory of human nature through his new methodology of economics, how much his methodological revision broadened the scope of economics, and what kind of phenomena Veblen’s economic theory elucidates. This article examines these issues and aims to show the logical connection between Veblen’s controversial proposal on the methodology of economics and his analysis of economic phenomena. Specifically, it reconsiders Veblen’s analysis of economic action using a unique concept of instincts, his logic of explaining the relation between society and human nature, his way of drawing history from the relativistic worldview, and his characteristic method of grasping the cause and effect of economic phenomena. Finally, it highlights the importance of modifying the concept of “economic man” by focusing on the qualitative aspect. Particular reference is made to the economic concepts of utility, efficiency, and intangibility.

Resumen:A lo largo de los cuarenta años de vigencia de la Constitución de 1978, el tradicional derecho de igualdad se ha visto enriquecido por la emergencia de una nueva rama del ordenamiento jurídico: el Derecho Antidiscriminatorio. En el texto se traza la gramática conceptual de las nuevas categorías y su desarrollo jurisprudencial.El estudio analiza qué significa hoy la igualdad en sentido jurídico preciso, qué comprende la prohibición constitucional de no sufrir discriminación en general y también respecto de la igualdad entre mujeres y hombres, la igualdad étnico/racial, la igualdad de las personas con cualquier tipo de discapacidad o por motivos de orientación e identidad sexuales.Summary:1. Sense and scope of constitutional equality 1.1 Introduction: from the classical concept of equality to new anti-discrimination law. 1.2 The legal concept of equality. 1.3 Equality in (the content) of the law and equality before (or in application) the law. 1.4 «Formal» or «legal» equality and «real» or «opportunity» equality. 1.5 Discrimination by indifferentiation. 2.

Discrimination by sex / gender 3.1 Situation of the problem and regulatory framework. 3.2 Relevant jurisprudence. 4. Discrimination by ethnicity / race. 5. Discrimination for disability. 6. Discrimination by sexual orientation and identity.Abstract:Throughout the forty years of validity of the 1978 Constitution, the traditional right of equality has been enriched by the emergence of a new branch of the legal system: Anti-Discriminatory Law. The text draws the conceptual grammar of the new categories and their jurisprudential development. The study analyzes what equality means in a precise juridical sense, which includes the constitutional prohibition against discrimination in general and equality between women and men, ethnic / racial equality, equality of persons with any type of disability or for reasons of sexual orientation and identity.

Tver Region

The article attempts to determine «the place formula» for four small cities of the Tver region – Toropets, Kalyazin, Bezhetsk and Bologoye. In the scientifi literature, the phrase «place formula» fi appeared and conceptually took shape, probably in the article by A.I. Zyryanov, published in the journal «Regional’nye issledovanija» in 2013. The theoretical framework of this concept is the classical concept of economic-geographical position (EGP). The identifi of the key features of the EGP of these small cities based on the fi research with using local historical information and statistical data. The studied cities are different in their history, location, performed functions and role in the space of the region. Several positions were chosen as the key characteristics that were included in the formulation of the main properties of the place: natural features, transport accessibility and density, metropolitan position, and centrality. The main features of the EGP, which formed the basis of the «geographical formula» for the selected small cities of the Tver region, are as follows: for Toropets – remoteness and borderline, for Kalyazin – location on the Volga and proximity to the Moscow region, for Bezhetsk – its existence as a center of agriculturally developed and densely populated territory, for Bologoye – its functioning as a railway junction between the two Russian capitals. For a city, and especially for a small one, the articulation and translation of its “formula” can become the basis for a long-term development strategy.

Supplier Innovations- & Know-How-Days dienen dazu, die Innovationsfähigkeit innerhalb eines Unternehmens langfristig zu stärken. Besonders durch die Vermittlung neuer Innovationsmöglichkeiten an die Mitarbeiter (Know-How und Kontakte) wird die Fähigkeit des Unternehmens, neuartige Produkte und Prozesse zu generieren, positiv beeinflusst. Des Weiteren wird durch Netzwerkbildung zu anderen Organisationen auf unterschiedlichen Funktions- und Fachebenen der Grundstein für zukünftige Wertschöpfungspartnerschaften gelegt. Damit bieten sich für Unternehmen besonders in der Automobilbranche Möglichkeiten, die Öffnung des unternehmensinternen Innovationsprozesses weiter auszubauen und von einer intensiven Lieferanteneinbindung zukünftig zu profitieren. Der optimale Einsatz von „Lieferanteninnovationstagen“ schafft somit langfristigen Nutzen im Hinblick auf Innovationsfähigkeit und Lieferanteneinbindung. To retain international competitiveness, many companies are currently facing an enormous pressure to innovate. To withstand this pressure, organizations are increasingly using external sources of innovation. Therefore the importance of networking with other firms within the supply chain has risen sharply in recent years. Thus, an extension of the classical concept of purchasing contributes to the innovative force of a company.

The notion of conditional comonotonicity was first used implicitly by Kaas, Dhaene, and Goovaerts (2000) and was formally introduced by Jouini and Napp (2004) as a generalization of the classical concept of comonotonicity. The objective of the present paper is to further investigate this relatively new concept. The main result is that a random vector is comonotonic conditional to a certain σ-field if and only if it is almost surely comonotonic locally on each atom of the conditioning σ-field. We also provide a new proof of a distributional representation and an almost sure representation of a conditionally comonotonic random vector.

Abstract This paper aims to show, primarily through analysis of seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century jōruri 浄瑠璃 plays, the radical changes in the vision of salvation shared among ordinary people, focusing especially on Jōruri monogatari 浄瑠璃物語, Sonezaki shinjū 曽根崎心中 and Kinpira jōruri 金平浄瑠璃, and highlights how such changes are related to contemporary social processes of secularization. José Casanova famously claimed that the classical concept of secularization as the decline of religious belief is not adequate for the task of understanding general historical processes. Nevertheless, an equivalent to this process of religious decline is an important phenomenon in early modern Japan. In this secularization process, Japanese people of the early modern period sought more secular visions of salvation. Strong, persistent attention to kokoro 心 (mind or spirit), regarded as the means of realizing secular values such as wealth or happiness, was an expression of these concerns. Analyzing jōruri plays reveals how the increasing power of the centralized state, defeating religious powers one by one, became the key to changing people’s visions of salvation and thus, of secularization processes.
