The Subject

This chapter argues that trust and testimony acquire a significance in the work of Hume and his contemporaries that belies the relatively scant (and in Hume’s case, ambivalent) attention they devote to the subjects. Following Annette Baier, Steven Shapin, Martin Hollis, Guido Möllering, and John Hardwig, it suggests that trust, being fundamentally non-rational and social, is antithetical to the Cartesian picture of a lucid, private rationality. By enshrining trust as epistemologically constitutive, the Humean picture of communicative intelligence emerges as identifiably anti-Jacobin, the antitype of Rousseau’s picture of civic virtue as based upon transparency, perfect sympathy, and reason. The chapter proceeds to explore the ways in which the conflict between instrumental reason and trust that continues to exercise philosophers and economists today has its roots in the work of Hume, Reid, Smith, and other thinkers from this period.

The One

The purpose of the article is to show how the negative dialectics of Adorno gets involved with a concept of myth that is questionable in several respects. First of all, Adorno tries to combine, but rather conflates, two understandings of myth. On the one hand, the concept of myth is defined as the ancient Greek mythos, in which the subject of man is projected on to nature; on the other hand, myth is defined as the backfire of enlightenment, in which self-reflection becomes the blind spot of instrumental reason. Along these lines of argument, Adorno’s interpretation of Homer, which, at any rate, is highly inspiring, attempts to demonstrate that Odysseus is already enlightened in that he keeps the myth at bay in order to gain his self. The point is, as a matter of dialectic necessity, that he just ends up in myth once again, albeit in the second sense, namely by being a victim of his own self-denial. A question that seems to remain unanswered, though, is how the two kinds of myth are related. Further, Adorno draws on a problematic distinction between myth and literature in order to claim that Homer separates himself from the realm of myth. By adopting Adorno’s own game of interpretation, however, it is possible to regard myth as such, including the Homeric one, as being contingently open-ended rather than just a matter of dialectic determination.

ABSTRAK  Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) dijiadikan sebagai indikator keberhasilan dalam suatu organisasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran perilaku Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) pada pengurus Kelompok Studi Islam Asy Syifa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Lambung Mangkurat. Metode penelitian menggunakan wawancara dengan alat ukur menggunakan aspek OCB. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari dua subjek yaitu subjek  pertama IK (laki-laki dan usia 22 tahun) dan subjek kedua AK (perempuan dan usia 20 tahun). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa IK dan AK termasuk pengurus yang memiliki organizational citizenship behavior pada organisasi, karena telah memenuhi beberapa aspek organizational citizenship behavior yaitu Altruism, civic virtue, sportsmanship, conscientiousness dan courtesy. Pada aspek altruism terdapat perbedaan reaksi yang diberikan kedua subjek yaitu pada subjek IK memiliki inisiatif dari diri sendiri untuk bersedia menolong pengurus lain untuk menggantikan tugasnya, jika pengurus tersebut memang tidak mampu atau berhalangan. Namun, pada subjek AK kurang  memiliki inisiatif untuk membantu pekerjaan pengurus lain, kecuali diminta bantuan oleh pengurus tersebut. Dari penelitian ini didapatkan pula faktor yang membentuk organizational citizenship behavior pada kedua subjek yaitu usia, lingkungan teman sebaya, lama bekerja di organisasi dan jenis kelamin yang mempengaruhi proses bertahannya organizational citizenship behavior.  Kata kunci: Organizational Citizenship Behavior, Organisasi KSI As Syifa. ABSTRACT  Organizational Behavioral Behavior (OCB) is used as an indicator of success in an organization. This study aims to determine the description of behavior Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) on the management of Islamic Study Group Asy Syifa Faculty of Medicine, University of Lambung Mangkurat. The research method used interview with measuring instrument based on aspect organizational citizenship behavior. The subjects consisted of two subjects: the first subject of IK (male and 22 years of age) and second subject AK (female and age 20 years). Based on the research result, it is found that IK and AK including management  have organizational citizenship behavior in organization, because it has fulfilled several aspects of organizational citizenship behavior namely altruism, civic virtue, sportsmanship, conscientiousness and courtesy. In the altruism aspect there is a difference of reaction given by both subjects that is on IK subject has initiative from self to be willing to help other management to replace its duty, if the management is indeed unable or unable to. However, on the subject of AK has less initiative to assist the work of other administrators, unless requested assistance by the management. From this research also found the factors that make up the organizational citizenship behavior on both subjects are age, peer environment, long work in organization and gender affecting the process of survival organizational citizenship behavior.  Keywords: Organizational Citizenship Behavior, Organization of KSI As Syifa.

The Subject

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

Orbit Computation

In this paper an orbit computation program for artificial satellites is presented. This program is operational and it has already been used to compute the orbits of several satellites.After an introductory discussion on the subject of artificial satellite orbit computations, the features of this program are thoroughly explained. In order to achieve the representation of the orbital elements over short intervals of time a drag-free perturbation theory coupled with a differential correction procedure is used, while the long range behavior is obtained empirically. The empirical treatment of the non-gravitational effects upon the satellite motion seems to be very satisfactory. Numerical analysis procedures supporting this treatment and experience gained in using our program are also objects of discussion.

Rule: I'd like at this point to bring up the subject of cables and wireways around the telescope. We've touched upon this twice during previous sessions: the cable wrap up problem, the communications problem, and data multiplexing problem. I think we'll ask Bill Baustian if he will give us a brief run down on what the electrical run problems are, besides doubling the system every year.

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

The growth of Ag films deposited on various substrate materials such as MoS2, mica, graphite, and MgO has been investigated extensively using the in situ electron microscopy technique. The three stages of film growth, namely, the nucleation, growth of islands followed by liquid-like coalescence have been observed in both the vacuum vapor deposited and ion beam sputtered thin films. The mechanisms of nucleation and growth of silver films formed by ion beam sputtering on the (111) plane of silicon comprise the subject of this paper. A novel mode of epitaxial growth is observed to that seen previously.The experimental arrangement for the present study is the same as previous experiments, and the preparation procedure for obtaining thin silicon substrate is presented in a separate paper.

With the advent of the space age and the need to determine the requirements for a space cabin atmosphere, oxygen effects came into increased importance, even though these effects have been the subject of continuous research for many years. In fact, Priestly initiated oxygen research when in 1775 he published his results of isolating oxygen and described the effects of breathing it on himself and two mice, the only creatures to have had the “privilege” of breathing this “pure air”.Early studies had demonstrated the central nervous system effects at pressures above one atmosphere. Light microscopy revealed extensive damage to the lungs at one atmosphere. These changes which included perivascular and peribronchial edema, focal hemorrhage, rupture of the alveolar septa, and widespread edema, resulted in death of the animal in less than one week. The severity of the symptoms differed between species and was age dependent, with young animals being more resistant.

The interaction of electron beams with a large variety of materials for information storage has been the subject of numerous proposals and studies in the recent literature. The materials range from photographic to thermoplastic and magnetic, and the interactions with the electron beam for writing and reading the information utilize the energy, or the current, or even the magnetic field associated with the electron beam.

Cellular Blue Nevus

The respective roles of the ribo somes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and perhaps nucleus in the synthesis and maturation of melanosomes is still the subject of some controversy. While the early melanosomes (premelanosomes) have been frequently demonstrated to originate as Golgi vesicles, it is undeniable that these structures can be formed in cells in which Golgi system is not found. This report was prompted by the findings in an essentially amelanotic human cellular blue nevus (melanocytoma) of two distinct lines of melanocytes one of which was devoid of any trace of Golgi apparatus while the other had normal complement of this organelle.
