Little is known of Ralph Buckland. Anstruther records that he was born in 1564, educated at the Merchant Taylors’ School and Magdalen College, Oxford, ordained in Rome in 1588 and sent as a ‘seminary priest’ to England where he was arrested and banished in 1606. He died in 1611 leaving behind him two works, both printed secretly in England, Seaven Sparkes of the Enkindled Soule (1604/5) and An Embassage to Heaven (1606–10). The earlier volume, a collection of original psalms, is a significant work from many points of view. It has literary value both as a poetic text and as a technical experiment, showing an early awareness of the mechanics of Hebrew prosody and current scholarly debate about its practice. It is also a poignant record of the predicament of the recusant Englishman around the time of the Gunpowder plot and an effective register of his state of mind.

The article considers the points of view of modern researchers of the poetic text on the phenomenon of metaphony, reflecting a new perspective of studying the phonetics of the verse. The metaphony as a sound association of separate invertible heterorhythmic sound groups, united around a single syllabic apex – vowel, is considered on the example of the Spanish poetic and folklore text. Metaphonical sound correspondences in repetition create the prospect of using syllable sound groups and complexes to form an alternative, poetic morphology of the word. A prospective research of metaphonical sound repetition can be aimed at revealing the dominant types of metaphonic rhymes in the poetic speech of the Spanish authors.

The content and correlation of the concepts of dialogism, dialogue and figures of dialogism have been clarified. The text-forming potential of dialogism, in particular, dialogue itself and figures of dialogism (rhetorical appeal, rhetorical exclamation, rhetorical question and question - answer structures) in the lyrics of A.A. Voznesensky and R.I. Rozhdestvensky is revealed. It is shown that the category of dialogism in lyric works is realized through the microfields of the addressor and addressee and their interaction. It is established that the text-forming function of the figures of dialogism and other indicators of dialogism can receive replicative and non-replicative manifestations in the lyrics. In the first case, the poetic text can either include a series of remarks of considerable linear extent, or be divided into dialogical nity or remarks without a remainder. With the non-replicative embodiment of dialogism and figures of dialogism, voluminous fragments of direct speech (monologues) expressing the dialogical interaction of the points of view of communicants can be included in the lyric work; the text may entirely constitute an appeal to one or another addressee (-s); finally, a poem can contain a detailed answer of a lyrical hero to a particular problematic question. Dialogism, and in particular the figures of dialogism, express in the lyrics of A.A. Voznesensky and R.I.Rozhdestvensky a general attitude towards the wave of the addressee, the authors' desire to become closer to their reader, to communicate with him as an equal, to take into account his opinions, interests, and requests.

Il progresso compiuto dalla medicina in tutti i suoi settori fa emergere sempre più questioni che non sono più solo di tipo clinico ma che anche inevitabilmente pongono interrogativi di tipo etico. Attraverso gli strumenti che la scienza offre si è portati a riflettere non solo sulla validità clinica di una scelta circa un percorso di cura e l'iter attraverso cui affrontarlo, ma anche sull'opportunità di intraprenderlo, sulla proporzionalità dell'intervento e sull'effettivo beneficio. La professione medica nell'analisi di un riscontro sociale, è continuamente a confronto con i vari punti di vista per cui non sempre la soluzione felice di un caso appare uguale anche per gli altri. L'etica medica considera l'individuo come un agente morale, come persona in toto i cui diritti devono essere rispettati per quanto riguarda le decisioni sulla propria vita. L'evoluzione della ricerca scientifica ha completamente sconvolto la fase di progressiva transizione verso il termine della vita, portandolo ad un rilevante prolungamento della durata media, di fronte anche ad un male degenerativo, suggerendo l'approccio alla malattia con strumenti atti a conciliare un equilibrio, anche quando la cura non vuol dire per forza guarigione. L'obbiettivo da tutelare e realizzare è l'attenzione per il malato, perseguire il suo migliore interesse di fronte alle più svariate fasi delle patologie croniche, ricorrendo ai più attuali sistemi di cura, per il vantaggio psico-fisico del paziente e per una corretta ed etica gestione delle risorse disponibili offerte. L'approccio con il malato non si traduce solo come cura del corpo ma anche come attenzione agli aspetti psicologici, la cui mancata considerazione rischia di amplificare i sentimenti di disagio, solitudine e dolore. Il rapporto con il malato include molto spesso un'equipe di medici che collaborano con i suoi familiari, portando avanti un ideale di assistenza umanizzata, proprio perchè a volte un paziente desidera empatia e comprensione oltre la semplice terapia medica, favorendo così un percorso di sollievo al suo stato. La valutazione della qualità della vita o della diversa condizione di salute, è del tutto soggettiva: ogni individuo è assolutamente unico ed irripetibile, con i suoi valori e le sue scelte di libertà che rispecchiano la propria dignità e ne esprimono il rispetto, anche quando, spesso, ci si trova di fronte a un punto di non ritorno. ---------- The progress achieved in all fields of medicine does not longer raise clinical issues only, but also ethical ones. The instruments that science offers lead us to think not only about the clinical validity of the choice of therapy and the process to deal with, but also about the opportunity of undertake it, the proportionality of intervention and the actual benefits. Hardly a good solution seems to be good to others, because, in the analysis of a social comparison, the medical profession is always compared with various points of view. Medical ethic considers the individual as a person and a subject whose rights and decisions regarding its life, are binding. The evolution of scientific research has completely unsettled the phase of gradual transition to the end of life, bringing it to a relevant protraction of the average lifespan, even in case of degenerative condition, suggesting the approach to disease with instruments able to strike a balance, even when therapies don’t bring to healing. The goal to achieve is the care for the patient, to pursue his personal interest in all the phases of a chronic pathology resorting to the most up-to-date medical approaches, to take the best of patient’s psychophysical resources but with a correct and ethical resource management too. The approach to the patient does not include the healing only, but the care of patient’s state of mind, because a careless approach would increase patient’s malaise, his feelings of loneliness and pain. The relation with a sick person often includes a team of medics co-operating with patient’s family, pursuing an ideal of humanized medical assistance, because sometimes a patient needs empathy and comprehension beyond medical therapy. The quality-of-life evaluation or the different health condition, is utterly subjective: every single person is absolutely unique, with his value system and his choices reflecting his dignity even when, often, approaching a point of no return.

It is significant to note field aberrations (chromatic field aberration, coma, astigmatism and blurring due to curvature of field, defined by Glaser's aberration theory relative to the Blenden Freien System) of the objective lens in connection with the following three points of view; field aberrations increase as the resolution of the axial point improves by increasing the lens excitation (k2) and decreasing the half width value (d) of the axial lens field distribution; when one or all of the imaging lenses have axial imperfections such as beam deflection in image space by the asymmetrical magnetic leakage flux, the apparent axial point has field aberrations which prevent the theoretical resolution limit from being obtained.

Metallic clusters are interesting from various points of view, e.g. as a mean of spreading expensive catalysts on a support, or following heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic events. It is also possible to study nucleation and growth mechanisms for crystals with the cluster as known starting point.Gold-clusters containing 55 atoms were manufactured by reducing (C6H5)3PAuCl with B2H6 in benzene. The chemical composition was found to be Au9.2[P(C6H5)3]2Cl. Molecular-weight determination by means of an ultracentrifuge gave the formula Au55[P(C6H5)3]Cl6 A model was proposed from Mössbauer spectra by Schmid et al. with cubic close-packing of the 55 gold atoms in a cubeoctahedron as shown in Fig 1. The cluster is almost completely isolated from the surroundings by the twelve triphenylphosphane groups situated in each corner, and the chlorine atoms on the centre of the 3x3 square surfaces. This gives four groups of gold atoms, depending on the different types of surrounding.

Both fuqaha (Moslem jurists) of the Sunni and the Shi’ah are in agreement that Mut’ah marriage was permitted at the beginning of Islam, based on Al-quran verses and Rasulullah (pbuh) hadiths. However, they disagree as to the annulment and permissibility. The Shi’as considered Mut’ah marriage as permitted until the Day of Resurrection, meanwhile the Sunni viewed it as forbidden. The execution of Mut’ah marriage has always been singled out as one of the specific features of the Shi’ite doctrine in which denying it means denial of the religion. They also believe that woman who practised Mut’ah marriage will result in her sins being forgiven. According to the Shi’ites, Mut’ah marriage is one of the biggest reasons for someone to be granted heaven, and his status be elevated to the rank of the Holy Prophet PBUH. Hence, it can be said that practicing Mut’ah marriage is one of the most crucial issues among the Shi’ite community which is totally contradicted to the Sunni doctrine which believed it is unlawful marriage and equalized to Zina (adultery). There is no doubt that this is one of the most important topics that lead to the dispute between the two schools of thought. Using the descriptive and analytical methods, this study aims to elaborate the views on the issue from Shi’ite and Sunni points of view based on various proofs (adillah) and their argumentations in supporting the views.
