This chapter argues that the rhetorically conceived poetics of narrative developed by the Chicago school neo-Aristotelians helps to demonstrate that Aristotle’s Poetics was, in several respects, always already a rhetorically oriented theory. Its concern with purposively shaping plots in order to realize a particular audience experience and affect shows an interest not only in ‘making form’ but in ‘making readers’, and an awareness of narratives not only as structures but as communicative acts. Ultimately, however, it is not Aristotle’s theory—either of poetics or rhetoric—that marks this neo-Aristotelian reception as such. It is, instead, Aristotle’s inductive, a posteriori methodology that stands out as the most valuable thing bequeathed and inherited across successive generations of Neo-Aristotelians.

With the improvement of the optical properties of the modern TEM objective lenses the point resolution is pushed beyond 0.2 nm. The objective lens of the CM300 UltraTwin combines a Cs of 0. 65 mm with a Cc of 1.4 mm. At 300 kV this results in a point resolution of 0.17 nm. Together with a high-brightness field-emission gun with an energy spread of 0.8 eV the information limit is pushed down to 0.1 nm. The rotationally symmetric part of the phase contrast transfer function (pctf), whose first zero at Scherzer focus determines the point resolution, is mainly determined by the Cs and defocus. Apart from the rotationally symmetric part there is also the non-rotationally symmetric part of the pctf. Here the main contributors are not only two-fold astigmatism and beam tilt but also three-fold astigmatism. The two-fold astigmatism together with the beam tilt can be corrected in a straight-forward way using the coma-free alignment and the objective stigmator. However, this only works well when the coefficient of three-fold astigmatism is negligible compared to the other aberration coefficients. Unfortunately this is not generally the case with the modern high-resolution objective lenses. Measurements done at a CM300 SuperTwin FEG showed a three fold-astigmatism of 1100 nm which is consistent with measurements done by others. A three-fold astigmatism of 1000 nm already sinificantly influences the image at a spatial frequency corresponding to 0.2 nm which is even above the point resolution of the objective lens. In principle it is possible to correct for the three-fold astigmatism a posteriori when through-focus series are taken or when off-axis holography is employed. This is, however not possible for single images. The only possibility is then to correct for the three-fold astigmatism in the microscope by the addition of a hexapole corrector near the objective lens.

Spiritual Conversation

G. I. Gurdjieff (c.1866–1949) was born in Gyumri, Armenia and raised in the Caucasus and eastern Asia Minor. He also traveled extensively throughout Turkey to places of pilgrimage and in search of Sufi teachers. Through the lens of Gurdjieff’s notion of legominism, or the means by which spiritual teachings are transmitted from successive generations, this article explores the continuing significance of spiritual practice and tradition and the ways that these forms remain relevant in shaping contemporary trends in spirituality. Beginning with Gurdjieff’s use of legominism, the article provides reflection on some early findings done in field research in Turkey— through site visits, interviews and participant-observation—conducted in the summers of 2014 and 2015. The aim of the project is both to meet individuals and groups, particularly connected to Sufism, that may have some contact with the influences that Gurdjieff would have been familiar with, and to visit some of the sites that were part of Gurdjieff’s early background and which served to inform his work. Considerations of contemporary practices include the view of spiritual transmission, and practices of pilgrimage, prayer and sohbet, or spiritual conversation, in an ongoing discourse about spiritual transformation.

O Departamento de Matemática da Universidade Federal de Viçosa tem realizado algumas medidas de prevenção à reprovação dos estudantes na disciplina de Cálculo, cujos índices têm assustado os professores. Uma dessas medidas está na elaboração de avaliações de matemática básica que objetivam identificar estudantes propensos à reprovação, a fim de proporcionar uma intervenção pedagógica capaz de reverter esta situação. Tendo em vista a importância desta avaliação como parte integrante dos processos de ensino e aprendizagem da disciplina, o presente artigo tem como objetivo oferecer uma análise estatística, pautada nas duas vertentes da Psicometria moderna: a Teoria Clássica dos Testes (TCT) e a Teoria de Resposta ao Item (TRI), e uma análise pedagógica dos descritores e distratores de alguns itens-chave que compõem uma dessas avaliações, escolhida para um estudo de caso. Os resultados apontaram para uma avaliação composta por itens com variados índices de dificuldade e, no geral, com bom poder discriminativo tanto pela análise via TCT, quanto pela TRI, cujos resultados foram obtidos através da estimação, pelo método da média a posteriori, de um modelo logístico de dois parâmetros. A consistência interna da avaliação como instrumento de mensuração de habilidades foi verificada pelo coeficiente alpha de Cronbach, assegurando a qualidade e confiabilidade dos resultados deste estudo. Espera-se que este trabalho sirva como um instrumento de difusão das teorias psicométricas na análise da estrutura de avaliações e aponte para a necessidade de uma maior discussão pedagógica acerca das possíveis lacunas existentes na aprendizagem de matemática básica dos estudantes do ensino superior.

The Military

Following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the U.S. government rounded up more than one hundred thousand Japanese Americans and sent them to internment camps. One of those internees was Charles Kikuchi. In thousands of diary pages, he documented his experiences in the camps, his resettlement in Chicago and drafting into the army on the eve of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and his postwar life as a social worker in New York City. Kikuchi's diaries bear witness to a watershed era in American race relations, and expose both the promise and the hypocrisy of American democracy. This book follows Kikuchi's personal odyssey among fellow Japanese American intellectuals, immigrant activists, Chicago School social scientists, everyday people on Chicago's South Side, and psychologically scarred veterans in the hospitals of New York. The book chronicles a remarkable moment in America's history in which interracial alliances challenged the limits of the elusive democratic ideal, and in which the nation was forced to choose between civil liberty and the fearful politics of racial hysteria. It was an era of world war and the atomic bomb, desegregation in the military but Jim and Jap Crow elsewhere in America, and a hopeful progressivism that gave way to Cold War paranoia. The book looks at Kikuchi's life and diaries as a lens through which to observe the possibilities, failures, and key conversations in a dynamic multiracial America.
