This chapter examines three tisis narratives in the Odyssey that are subordinate to the main tisis narrative of Odysseus’ revenge on the suitors. These narratives are found to have a robust ideology of symmetry of offense and punishment, some unsettling ironies surrounding ἀτασθαλίαι‎, and a tendency for narrators to manipulate tisis in favor of their own biases. The first tisis narrative is the companions’ deaths in the Thrinakia episode. Sometimes considered a case of Helios’ revenge, Zeus is the real agent of tisis in this instance. The second tisis narrative is Poseidon’s against Odysseus, which, though never explicitly called tisis, has all the other markings of a such a narrative. The third instance is Poseidon’s against the Phaiakians for escorting Odysseus home. Each of these narratives takes on deeper significance and ironic layers of meaning when interpreted in light of the others.

LABURPENA: Garrantzitsua da modu onek gida dezatela gure erakundeen funtzionamendua, alde batetik jarduera ilunak eta, bestetik, tratu bereiziak saihestuz. Iruzkingilearen iritziz, bi betekizun horiek ez dira behar bezala errespetatu ez Auzitegiko epaiketan amaitu zuen benetako historian, ez historia horretaz arduratu zen epaiketaren epaian. Kritikagarriak dira bai jokaera batzuk (Botere Judizialaren Kontseilu Nagusiaren barruan gertatutakoak), bai arrazoiketa ugaritan edukitako antzeko jarrera (3. salarena). Hori guzti hori, Kontseiluko Batzorde Iraunkorra berritzeko akordioaren harira eta Administrazioarekiko Auzien Salaren aurrean inpugnatu ostean. RESUMEN: Importa que las buenas maneras presidan el funcionamiento de nuestras instituciones evitando —por un lado— las oscuras actuaciones y los desiguales tratos —por el otro—. En opinión del comentarista, ambos requisitos no han sido convenientemente respetados ni en la historia real que desembocó en el juicio ante el Tribunal ni en la sentencia de éste que se ocupó de aquélla. Criticables algunos comportamientos (en el seno del CGPJ) y actitud nada equidistante (de la Sala 3ª) en no pocos de sus razonamientos. Todo ello con ocasión del Acuerdo para renovar la Comisión Permanente del Consejo y de su posterior impugnación ante la Sala de lo Contencioso-Administrativo. ABSTRACT: Good manners matter when presiding over the functioning of our institutions by avoiding —on one side— shady dealings and unequal treatments —on the other—. In the opinion of the commentator, both requirements have not been duly respected nor in the real story that led in the trial before the Court nor in the ruling by this latter when dealing with the former. Objectionable as they were some behaviors (within the General Council of the Judiciary) and with a non equidistant attitude (by the Third chamber) in many of its reasonings. All of it at the time of the Agreement to renew the Permanent committee of the Council and its posterior challenge before the Contentious-Administrative chamber.

The Relationship

This chapter examines four major issues in International Political Economy (IPE). The first concerns power and the relationship between politics and economics, and more specifically whether politics is in charge of economics or whether it is the other way around. The second issue deals with development and underdevelopment in developing countries. The third is about the nature and extent of economic globalization, and currently takes places in a context of increasing inequality between and inside countries. The fourth and final issue concerns how to study the real world from an IPE perspective and it pits the hard science American School against the more qualitative and normative British School.

The author states that the object of his inquiries is limited to the collection of such facts as may assist in establishing practical rules for controlling the motions of the beach, with a view, on the one hand, to the preservation of clear channels where such are wanted, and on the other, to the obtaining accumulations of shingles in situations where they may be useful. He considers the actions of the sea on the loose pebbles as of three kinds; the first, which he terms the accumulative action , heaps up or accumulates the pebbles against the shore; the second, or the destructive action , disturbs and breaks down the accumulations previously made; and the third, or progressive action , carries the pebbles forwards in a horizontal direction. The causes of these actions are referable to two kinds of forces; the one being that of the current, or the motion of the general body of the water in the ebbing and flowing of the tides; and the other that of the waves, or that undulating motion given to the water by the action of the winds upon it. He adduces many facts which show that it is not, as is generally believed, the currents which move the pebbles along the coast, the real agent being the force of the waves, the direction of which is determined principally by that of the prevailing winds, which, on the coasts of Kent and Sussex, where the author’s observations were chiefly made, is from the westward. Every breaker drives before it the loose materials which it meets, throwing them up on the inclined plane on which they rest, and in a direction corresponding generally with that of the breaker. In all cases, the finer particles descend the whole distance with the returning breaker, unless accidentally deposited in some interstice; but the larger pebbles return only a part of the distance, this distance having an inverse ratio to its magnitude. This process constitutes the accumulative action. Under other circumstances, on the contrary, depending on the quickness of succession of the breakers, pebbles of every dimension return the whole distance along which they had been carried up, and are also accompanied in their recession by other pebbles, which had been previously deposited- and this constitutes the destructive action. This latter action is also promoted by a form of coast, such as that produced by rocks, tending to confine the returning waves in particular channels, whereby, being collected into streams instead of being broken and dispersed, they acquire, on the recoil, sufficient force to carry down the pebbles, and deposit them below the general surface. The author gives examples of these effects, from what he has observed in the neighbourhood of the harbours of Folkstone, Dover and Sand-gate, and along the coast as far as the bay called Sandwich Flats; accompanied by illustrative drawings.

The Law

Criminology and criminal-psychology are sciences dealing mostly with the personality of the criminals as well as the interconnections of crime and deviance. The other player of the crimes – the victim - has recently come into focus posing the question why and how somebody is becoming a victim, and what effect can the victim have when the crime is being committed. The first international publications appeared at the beginning of the third millennium on so-called victims who are convinced to suffer from material, moral or other damages and, accordingly, who would pursue “justice” at any rate. They often appeal against decisions. Considering these facts the procedures are rather thorough and circumspect. A significant part of the law-enforcement staff is heavily involved for long periods. On the other side there is the person considered criminal being actually the real victim. These people are getting alienated from the society because of their reckoned deeds and, because of the distorting influence of the media they are condemned morally. The present study describes the syndromes of fake-victim, their occurrence as well as psychiatric considerations, social appearance and impact. Authors are drawing attention to the medical-legal existence of the problem as well as its existence. Orv. Hetil., 2011, 152, 559–568..

This article aims to present a concept of era based on the Qur'anic idea of Al-Ashr. At the first presence, era, whether at historical level, or transcending it, has never escape holiness, as time and space where sacred moral act is always present. At the second presence, era is, in essence, holiness as a reality of being, reality of existence, and presence, where the entire range of the past, present and future is no longer important, even lost, but is a reality that is present in the era without era. At the third presence, holiness, on the other hand, must be historical for the task of the public in the name of love for God, which is part of the deepest consciousness of every human being and human relations where the past, present and future move historically in space and time. At the fourth presence, the real man is thus a man who always purifies his soul without pause in the historical space of time, even beyond it. At the fifth presence, the act of “so be it” (kun fayakun) of God exists, time exists throughout the span of time without any preconditions or constructions based on His commandments (namely Ibn Arabi Bipolar Triplisity).

The series of decrees concerning Methone throws welcome light on Athenian foreign policy and the imperialism of Pericles' successors. Here is historical evidence of the highest quality. Are we using it as fully and accurately as we should? This paper is written in the belief that we are being hampered by unsound presuppositions. Chronologically the second decree is our main fixed point. It was passed in the first prytany of 426/5 B.C. The third and fourth decrees followed in the next two archon-years. They can be ignored in this discussion, since one is hopelessly mutilated and the other is missing from the stone as it stands now. The real problem rises over the first decree. What is its date? It used commonly to be put in 428/7 B.C. until West argued powerfully for January/February 429/8 B.C. His view won considerable support, but the editors of The Athenian Tribute Lists have since succeeded in establishing the summer of 430 B.C. as the orthodox dating. Now those who accept this should recognize that it creates an awkwardly long gap between the first and second decrees. By the first decree Methone was permitted to pay the quota alone, instead of its full tribute, and was promised separate, favourable treatment of its arrears in return for continued loyalty.

Hidden “holes” in the capital of banks and the supply of credit to the real sector of economy

Our analysis documents that the existence of hidden “holes” in the capital of not yet failed banks - while creating intertemporal pressure on the actual level of capital - leads to changing of maturity of loans supplied rather than to contracting of their volume. Long-term loans decrease, whereas short-term loans rise - and, what is most remarkably, by approximately the same amounts. Standardly, the higher the maturity of loans the higher the credit risk and, thus, the more loan loss reserves (LLP) banks are forced to create, increasing the pressure on capital. Banks that already hide “holes” in the capital, but have not yet faced with license withdrawal, must possess strong incentives to shorten the maturity of supplied loans. On the one hand, it raises the turnovers of LLP and facilitates the flexibility of capital management; on the other hand, it allows increasing the speed of shifting of attracted deposits to loans to related parties in domestic or foreign jurisdictions. This enlarges the potential size of ex post revealed “hole” in the capital and, therefore, allows us to assume that not every loan might be viewed as a good for the economy: excessive short-term and insufficient long-term loans can produce the source for future losses.

Experiments were carried out to assess some insecticide modules against major insect pests of rice. Each module consists of a basal application of carbofuran 3G @ 1 kg a.i ha-1 at 20 DAT and Rynaxypyr 20 SC @ 30 g a.i ha-1 at 45 DAT except untreated control. All modules differ with each other only in third treatment which was applied in 65 DAT. The third treatment includes: Imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 27 g a.i ha-1, Pymetrozine 50 WG @ 150 g a.i ha-1, Triflumezopyrim 106 SC @ 27 g a.i ha-1, Buprofezin 25 SC @ 250 g a.i ha-1; Glamore (Imidacloprid 40+Ethiprole 40% w/w) 80 WG @ 100 g a.i. ha-1, Thiacloprid 24 SC @ 60 g a.i ha-1, Azadirachtin 0.03 EC @ 8 g a.i ha-1, Dinotefuran 20 SG@ 40 g a.i ha-1 and untreated control. All the treated plots recorded significantly lower percent of dead heart, white ear- head caused by stem borer and silver shoot caused by gall midge. Module with Pymetrozine 50 WG @ 150 g a.i ha-1 treated plot recorded significantly higher per cent reduction of plant hoppers (>80% over untreated control) and produced higher grain yield (50.75 qha-1) than the other modules. Among the different treated modules the maximum number of spiders was found in Azadirachtin 0.03 EC @ 8 g a.i ha-1 treated module plot followed by other treatments.

In our society, the proportion of youth is higher than any other society. They are important in this regard. But the real question is whether his views, trends and likes and dislikes are different from other generations of society in political terms. What is the reason for the tendency to see youth as a separate class. That we borrow the principles of politics from the West, where the distinction of generations is more important factor in politics than the distinction of community or class. At one time, parties like the Labor Party and the Green Party have been standing mainly on the vote of the youth for some time. The second reason is that the image of the youth is based on the English-speaking youths living somewhere in the metros. We often consider him to be a symbol of youth. While in reality they are a very small part of our youth. And the third reason is that the part of change, revolution and the politics of change that had set the hopes of the youth are still there in our political understanding. The fact is that the youth class is not very different from the elderly or any other generation in terms of participation in politics, if different then it means that its participation is less than the other class because it is more concerned about education and employment. There is no fundamental difference between the vote of the youth and other generations in terms of voting or political choice. If there is a difference, then only in the sense that the parties who have come in the last 25-30 years have heard more about the youth, hence their choice is more. Older parties usually get little support from the youth. However, it is not related to its youth, because the information about that party is limited to certain people.

Der Beitrag widmet sich der Frage historischer Folgeverhältnisse in der Kunst. Gegenüber dem Gedanken, dass es ein ursprüngliches Werk in der Reihe von Werken gibt, das späteren Werken seinen Sinn gibt, schlägt der Text vor, das Verhältnis umgekehrt zu denken: Im Lichte späterer Werke wird der Sinn früherer Werke neu ausgehandelt. Dazu geht der Text in drei Schritten vor. Im ersten Teil formuliert er unter der Überschrift ›Form‹ in kritischer Abgrenzung zu Danto und Eco mit Adorno den Gedanken, dass Kunstwerke eigensinnig konstituierte Gegenstände sind. Die im Gedanken der Neuverhandlung früherer Werke im Lichte späterer Werke vorausgesetzte Unbestimmtheit des Sinns von Kunstwerken wird im zweiten Teil unter dem Schlagwort ›Zeitlichkeit‹ anhand des Paradigmas der Improvisation erörtert. Der dritte und letzte Teil wendet diese improvisatorische Logik unter dem Label ›Neuaushandlung‹ dann dezidiert auf das Verhältnis von Vorbild und Nachbild an. The article proposes a new understanding of historical succession in the realm of art. In contrast to the idea that there is an original work in the series of works that gives meaning to the works that come later, the text proposes to think it exactly the other way round: in the light of later works, the meanings of earlier works are renegotiated. The text proceeds in three steps to develop this idea. Under the heading ›Form‹ it develops in the first part a critical reading of Danto’s and Eco’s notion of the constitution of the artworks and argues with Adorno that each powerful work develops its own language. In the second part, the vagueness of the meaning of works of art presupposed in the idea of renegotiating earlier works in the light of later works is discussed under the term ›Temporality‹ in terms of the logic of improvisation. The third and final part uses this improvisational logic under the label ›Renegotiation‹ to understand the relationship between model and afterimage in the realm of art.
