This chapter is the first of this book to deal specifically with the metaphysics of time. This chapter defends the pure manifold theory of time. On this view, time is just another dimension of extent like the three dimensions of space, the past, present, and future are equally real, and the world is at bottom tenseless. What is true is eternally true. For example, it is now true that there will be a sea fight tomorrow or that there will not be a sea fight tomorrow. It is argued that the pure manifold theory does not entail fatalism and that contingent statements about the future do not imply that only the past and present exist.

The aim of the present article is to analyze the relationship between the city and the protagonists of Giuseppe Culicchia’s texts. The methodological perspective is that of cultural anthropology, in particular the concept of mente locale, discussed by Franco La Cecla. Mente locale, as a relationship between space and human mind, is vital in the act of getting lost in space (perdersi), which leads to getting to know it (orientarsi) and finally initiating the profound relationship based on emotivity. Culicchia’s texts are set in Turin, and the study points out the different ways of perception of the city. The analyzed texts represents the gradual acquisition of knowledge about the city that corresponds to the theoretical thesis that is how the anthropology of space and place illustrates the conceptual and material dimensions of space which is central to the production of social life, bringing classics of cultural anthropology together with new theoretical approaches.

This paper considers possible futures for human space settlements through the life story and experiences of David Vetter—a child born with severe combined immunodeficiency who became known in popular media as the “bubble boy.” Lynn Margulis imagined the creation of ecosystems and human settlements on another planet could be an act of Gaia reproducing by budding, through ecopoiesis. Thinking with Margulis about humans as holobionts, our species is both constituted by and embedded within communities of organisms and ecologies. As holobionts we may not be able to live outside of these communities and systems or away from Earth, even if we can temporarily survive without them. Placed within an evolutionary framework, techno-capitalist imaginaries of space settlement limit conceptions of planetary reproduction to heteronormative models of ecopoiesis which promote competition as a key driver of evolution instead of cooperation. Technologically mediated survival along with forced reproduction of holobionts within Earth-like systems and could lead to suffering and isolation like David Vetter’s forced survival in a bubble. I propose alternative liberatory modes of conceptualizing and materializing space migration (including queer and decolonized forms of reproduction) which better respect the Earth, its inhabitants, as well as extraterrestrial planets, landscapes, lives, and possibilities.

Film “Yowis Ben 2” merupakan salah satu film komedi Indonesia yang memasukkan unsur bahasa daerah di dalam percakapannya. Hal tersebut menjadi nilai lebih untuk meninggikan bahasa daerah di lingkungan masyarakat. Penelitian ini berbentuk penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan pragmatik, yaitu analisis deiksis. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan bentuk-bentuk deiksis dalam film “Yowis Ben 2” karya Bayu Skak dan Fajar Nugros. Sumber data penelitian ini adalah percakapan yang terdapat di dalam film tersebut. Berdasarkan penelitian, film “Yowis Ben 2” memuat bahasa daerah yang merujuk pada suatu kegiatan yang sedang dibicarakan serta memiliki hubungan dengan dimensi ruang dan waktu pada saat dituturkan oleh pembicara atau yang diajak bicara. Deiksis berfungsi untuk memperjelas isi ujaran dalam film “Yowis Ben 2” karya Bayu Skak dan Fajar Nugros. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya ujaran deiksis persona, waktu, tempat, sosial, dan wacana. “Yowis Ben 2” is an Indonesian comedy movie that includes elements of local language in the conversation. This elements of local language becomes more value to elevate regional languages in the community environment. This research is in the form of a descriptive qualitative research with a pragmatic approach, namely deixis analysis. The purpose of this study is to describe deixis in the movie “Yowis Ben 2” by Fajar Nugros and Bayu Skak. The data source of this research is the conversations contained in the movie. Based on research, the “Yowis Ben 2” movie contains local languages that refer to an activity being discussed and has a relationship with the dimensions of space and time when spoken by the speaker or the person being spoken to. Deixis functions to clarify the contents in utterances that contain persona, time, place, discourse, and social.

Abstract We determine universal critical exponents that describe the continuous phase transitions in different dimensions of space. We use continued functions without any external unknown parameters to obtain analytic continuation for the recently derived 7-loop $\epsilon$ expansion from $O(n)$-symmetric $\phi^4$ field theory. Employing a new blended continued function, we obtain critical exponent $\alpha=-0.01211$ for the phase transition of superfluid helium which matches closely with the most accurate experimental value. This result addresses the long-standing discrepancy between the theoretical predictions and precise experimental result of $O(2)$ $\phi^4$ model known as "$\lambda$-point specific heat experimental anomaly". Further we have also examined the applicability of such continued functions in other examples of field theories.

It is now almost universally acknowledged that the valency of an element is due to its being associated with one or more electrons. The mechanism of chemical combination was sketched by me in the Presidential Address to the Chemical Society in the sentence:— "If it be conceded that a salt differs from its solution only in so far as the mobility of the solution permits of transfer of ions, the transfer of an electron from the sodium to the chlorine must take place at the moment of combination. Symbolised, if we write E for electron and simplify the reaction, dealing for the moment with an atom and not with a molecule of chlorine, we have ENa + Cl = NaECl. Here the electron serves as the bond of union between the sodium and the chlorine. . . . If it be desired to form a mental picture of what occurs, let me suggest a fanciful analogy which may serve the purpose: it is that an electron is an amœba-like structure, and that ENa may be conceived as an orange of sodium surrounded by a rind of electron; that on combination the rind separates from the orange and forms a layer or cushion between the Na and the Cl, and that on solution an electron attaches itself to the chlorine in some similar fashion, forming an ion of chlorine. It will be noticed that the E fills the place usually occupied by a bond; thus Na—Cl. It happens providentially that the bond and the negative sign are practically the same; Na—Cl may be supposed to ionise thus, Na(—Cl), the negative charge or electron remaining with the chlorine."
