En fænomenologisk og antropologisk analyse af legen som et universelt, eksistentielt rum for mennesket.Presence – An attempt at an easy definition of playIn this article a simple definition of play has been attempted within the framework of phenomenological anthropology. When the process is seen as more serious than the result, we play. When, on the contrary, the result is the more important, we work. To express it in simple formulas in which P is process and R, result:P/R > 1 = Play P/R < 1 = WorkThe definition is discussed in relation to a number of approsing rations which normally provoke reflexive efforts: play vs. seriousness; play vs. labour; play vs. reality; play vs. war; play vs. sport; play vs. ritual; play as symbol and metaphor.Further, the phenomenological concept of play is contrasted to the pedagogical concept, in an analysis of the instrumental use of play vs. play as a meaningful practise in itself.Finally, reference is made to W.H. Auden’s view of the aesthetic process as a dual act involving sin and the search for redemption.

The research draws on the insights provided by photojournalism to examine the values and value formation of journalism in relation to power and ethnic minorities. News photos are representations which affect emotions; they engender meanings about reality and settings more subtly than texts. Photojournalism makes value judgments on issues, groups and persons through the size of the photos, settings, poses, the roles depicted, and simply by choosing who is photographed. The material to be analysed consists of news photos dealing with the Sámi published in the Arctic press. My particular focus is the news items dealing with the Sámi and how the ethnic minority is depicted in those representations. The methods to be used are content analysis and formal photo analysis. I use the concept of otherness for determining journalists’ valuations. A simple definition of otherness could be ‘being an outsider’.

Simple Definition

In recent work on some topological problems (7), I was forced to adopt a complicated definition of ‘Hermitian form’ which differed from any in the literature. A recent paper by Tits(5) on quadratic forms over division rings contains a new and simple definition of these. A major objective of this paper is to formulate both these definitions in somewhat more general terms, and to show that they are equivalent.

AbstractVopěnka proved long ago that every set of ordinals is set-generic over HOD, Gödel's inner model of hereditarily ordinal-definable sets. Here we show that the entire universe V is class-generic over (HOD,S), and indeed over the even smaller inner model =(L[S],S), where S is the Stability predicate. We refer to the inner model as the Stable Core of V. The predicate S has a simple definition which is more absolute than any definition of HOD; in particular, it is possible to add reals which are not set-generic but preserve the Stable Core (this is not possible for HOD by Vopěnka's theorem).

There are large areas of the world where soils are adversely affected by the presence of sodium (Na) as an exchangeable cation. Unlike their saline counterparts which are more extensive, sodic soils have received less attention in the literature. There has been considerable disagreement concerning the definition of sodicity, owing largely to the fact that many experiments used in the development of definitions did not account for the presence of salts in the water used to measure hydraulic properties. These problems are discussed and the conclusion is reached that a single simple definition is no longer possible. This problem is further exacerbated by the fact that many soils which would never have fallen into a previously defined sodic category, do in fact exhibit sodic properties. The major focus of this account of sodicity will therefore be the soils which contain relatively low levels of exchangeable Na. As such soils are widespread in both humid and subhumid areas of the world and are responsible for the production of a large proportion of the world cereal crop, they deserve special attention. Because swelling and dispersion are the primary processes responsible for the degradation of soil physical properties in the presence of Na, an account of clay behaviour in relation to Na and electrolyte concentration is presented before exploring these new realms of sodicity. Pure clay systems are not always suitable for use as models of soil behaviour in terms of dispersion and flocculation. However, as far as swelling is concerned, the correspondence is much better. Nevertheless, the effects of the exchangeable cations on dispersion are predictable albeit usually only qualitatively. This is partly due to the phenomenon of 'demixing' in which the cations are not distributed over all surfaces in the same proportions. The effects of Na and electrolyte concentration in relation to hydraulic conductivity, infiltration, crusting, runoff, erosion and hardsetting are discussed from which it emerges that the effects of Na are manifested in measurable and often sizeable proportions down to very low levels far below those previously used to define sodic soils. The primary processes responsible for physical degradation are swelling at relatively high levels and clay dispersion throughout the range of exchangeable Na percentage (ESP). Provided that the total electrolyte concentration (TEC) is below the critical flocculation concentration (CFC), clays will disperse spontaneously at high ESP values, whereas at lower ESP levels, inputs of energy are required for dispersion. The TEC of the ambient solution, because of its effects in promoting clay flocculation, is crucial in determining soil physical behaviour.

The Sznajd model for the opinion formation is generalized to small-world networks. This generalization destroyed the stalemate fixed point. Then a simple definition of leaders is included. No fixed points are observed. This model displays some interesting aspects in sociology. The model is investigated using time series analysis.

AbstractIn BS 5930:1981 both the state of weathering of rock material and a scale of weathering grades for the rock mass are included in a Code for the first time. The schemes proposed are largely derivative from those proposed by Working Parties of the Engineering Group, which in turn benefited from earlier studies in Hong Kong and Australia.The descriptive terms used for rock material: fresh, discoloured, decomposed, disintegrated, are defined, and the stages of weathering subdivided using qualifying terms, for example 'partially discoloured'. These descriptive qualifying terms may be quantified if necessary, but no indication is given as to how this should be done.Following recent Australian practice, the scale of weathering grades of the rock mass is described in the terms applied to the rock material. Except in the case of Grade 1, Fresh, discontinuities and other defects of the rock mass are not mentioned. This implies, and it needs emphasizing, that the descriptive terms for the degree of weathering should provide a reliable indication of the effects of weathering on the engineering properties or engineering behaviour of the rock mass. The material and the defects, such as discontinuities in the rock mass, therefore need to be described separately.A descriptive scheme is proposed for the simple definition of weathering classes of rock material, and application of these classes to the description of the rock mass is also considered.The effect of scale, particularly the spacing of discontinuities and thickness of highly weathered zones, is important in assessing the engineering properties of the rock mass. This can be dealt with effectively in the descriptive logging of drill core and rock exposures.

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex includesM. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. africanum, and M. microti. Most clinical isolates areM. tuberculosis or M. bovis. These species can be distinguished by phenotypes and genotypes. However, there is no simple definition of M. africanum, and some authors question the validity of this species. We analyzed 17 human isolates from Sierra Leone, identified as M. africanum by biochemical and growth characteristics. We sequenced polymorphic genes and intergenic regions. We amplified DNA from six loci with variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs) and determined the exact number of repeats at each locus in each strain. All M. africanumisolates had the ancestral CTG Leu at katG codon 463. Drug-resistant M. africanum isolates had katGand rpoB mutations similar to those found in drug-resistantM. bovis and M. tuberculosis. Fourteen Sierra Leone M. africanum isolates (designated group A) hadkatG codon 203 ACC Thr, also found in M. africanum T (the T indicates type strain) from Senegal. Group A isolates clustered with M. africanum T by VNTR analysis. Three M. africanum isolates (group B) had katG codon 203 ACT Thr, found in M. tuberculosis T, and clustered with M. tuberculosis T by VNTR analysis. Phenotypic identification of M. africanumyielded a heterogeneous collection of strains. Genotypic analyses identified a cluster (M. africanum group A) which includedM. africanum T and was distinct from the rest of the M. tuberculosis complex. Future studies ofM. africanum should include both phenotypic and genotypic analyses.
