I shall not attempt to sum up the conclusions of the day’s discussion, because what conclusions we have come to (and quite a number of points have come out clearly) are rather involved and technical, and I should not at this time go into details; on many major points we have not reached any definite conclusions. There remains much more interesting work to be done; but I should like to comment on a few facts that have come out: In the first place, one is impressed by the amount of information which has been produced in the course of a year. Most of the problems which we have discussed during the day did not exist even as questions one year ago, and it is quite impressive what has been done in this time. We should not complain that all the answers are not available today. Of course, the existence of parity violation is now established beyond any doubt, and an extremely simple feature seems to emerge, though still subject to exact confirmation, in the behaviour of the polarizations, which seems to select fairly heavily between the possible interactions. On the other hand, we have no clear picture yet of the recoil data which might be capable of tying down the possible interactions very closely, or alternatively of showing us that there is something basically wrong with the whole present approach. We should not discount that possibility at the present stage.

This chapter presents a sermon by Maurice N. Eisendrath, delivered on the third Rosh Hashanah of the war. The situation of Canadian rabbis was precariously positioned between those of American preachers to the south and British preachers to the east. Canada, as part of the British Commonwealth, had long been part of the war effort, so the debate over whether or not to enter the war was not an issue, as it still was for colleagues in the United States. On the other hand, Canada was not directly affected by the war as was Britain, where one year earlier London had suffered a sustained air attack unprecedented in its devastation (a situation that certainly affected the mood in Toronto on the previous Rosh Hashanah, as the preacher reminds his listeners). Now, although the battles on the recently opened Eastern Front were of almost unimaginable ferocity, to many Canadians the war seemed distant; life at home seemed almost normal, as it did to many in the United States. This was precisely the mindset that Eisendrath set out to censure.

Student Identities

What teachers write about students has enormous potential to affect their lives. Lauren Porosoff encourages teachers to use their words to empower students to take an active role in their own learning. When teachers use adjectives to describe students, they may be attaching certain fixed characteristics to those students. Verbs, on the other hand, put the focus on behavior, and adverbs bring attention to how students execute certain behaviors. Nouns can give a clear picture of what students are doing, and deliberate use of conjunctions can put the emphasis on the correct pieces of information. And avoiding overuse of the pronoun I can help teachers keep the focus off themselves, while using students’ preferred pronouns conveys respect for student identities.

The contributions in this paper are in two folds. On the one hand, we propose a general approach for approximating ideal filters based on fractional calculus from the point of view of systems of fractional order. On the other hand, we suggest that the Paley and Wiener criterion might not be a necessary condition for designing physically realizable ideal filters. As an application of the present approach, we show a case in designing ideal filters for suppressing 50-Hz interference in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals.

Nishida Kitaro

The Study of Religion (Shūkyō-gaku) is an early text from a one-year course, 1913-1914, which Nishida Kitarō imparted only once in his academic career. In this text, apart from references to mystics and to early and medieval Christian thinkers, Nishida tries to point out the basic elements of Eastern and Western religions through the writings of xviii-xxth century authors, among them participants in the Gifford Lectures, the Bampton Lectures and Hibbert Lectures. On the other hand, Nishida tries to find the corresponding characteristics of religion in Zen and True Pure Land Buddhism. In short, Nishida’s approach to a philosophy of religion gives us an overview of the problems concerning a Buddhist-Christian dialogue.

Informed Decisions

This article studies the role of subpoena power in enabling policymakers to make better-informed decisions. In particular, we take into account the effect of subpoena power on the information voluntarily supplied by interest groups as well as the information obtained by the policymaker via the subpoena process. To this end, we develop a model of informational lobbying in which interest groups seek access to the policymaker in order to provide him verifiable evidence about the desirability of implementing reforms they care about. The policymaker is access-constrained, that is, he lacks time/resources to scrutinize the evidence owned by all interest groups. The policymaker may also be agenda-constrained, that is, he may lack time/resources to reform all issues. We find that if a policymaker is agenda-constrained, then he is better off by having subpoena power. On the other hand, if a policymaker is not agenda-constrained, he can be worse off by having subpoena power. The key insight behind these findings is that subpoena power, while it increases the policymaker’s ability to acquire information from interest groups, it also alters the amount of information they voluntarily provide via lobbying, and that the net effect differs depending on whether or not the policymaker is agenda-constrained.

This paper is submitted in the hope that it will assist members who are not actively concerned with investment matters to obtain a reasonably clear picture of the Stock Exchange and how it works.The main object of the Stock Exchange, as an institution, is simply to provide a market for stocks and shares, i.e. rights to interest or dividends. Such a market has been in existence in one form and another since the latter part of the seventeenth century, and is virtually a necessity in the modern capital structure. Without it the investor would be loth to lock up his money in a joint-stock undertaking, and, if he did, would have difficulty in assessing the value of his holding at any time. Moreover, he would have little to guide him in making the best use of his capital and, on the other hand, companies requiring funds (to say nothing of the Government) would find it hard to guess the best terms for a new issue.

Aggregation Operations

Basically, the schema of a data warehouse lies on two kinds of elements: facts and dimensions. Facts are used to memorize measures about situations or events. Dimensions are used to analyse these measures, particularly through aggregation operations (counting, summation, average, etc.). To fix the ideas let us consider the analysis of the sales in a shop according to the product type and to the month in the year. Each sale of a product is a fact. One can characterize it by a quantity. One can calculate an aggregation function on the quantities of several facts. For example, one can make the sum of quantities sold for the product type “mineral water” during January in 2001, 2002 and 2003. Product type is a criterion of the dimension Product. Month and Year are criteria of the dimension Time. A quantity is so connected both with a type of product and with a month of one year. This type of connection concerns the organization of facts with regard to dimensions. On the other hand a month is connected to one year. This type of connection concerns the organization of criteria within a dimension. The possibilities of fact analysis depend on these two forms of connection and on the schema of the warehouse. This schema is chosen by the designer in accordance with the users needs.

Cuticular Structures

The occurrence and the manifestation of a cell line is described which had suddenly and irreversibly lost the potency for forming bristles on any part of the adult cuticle after culturing in vivo over a period of more than one year. On the other hand, it is shown that the cells maintained the capacity for the differentiation of the region-specific ground pattern which consists of hairs and other cuticular structures and which characterize antennae, head parts, legs, wings and the thorax. The aristae are not affected by the change which initiated the bristle-less cell line. Thus it is concluded that the aristae are formations belonging to the ground pattern. A general developmental factor which is indispensible for and common to all bristles regard-less of their organspecific structure is postulated.

The Luis Arce’s victory in the elections of the 2020 in Bolivia, on one hand, could be perceived as an unexpected one due to an extremely adverse political situation for the Movement toward the Socialism (Movimiento al Socialismo, MAS), but on the other hand it’s still understandable and attributable to some circumstances of the moment, as well as to some fundamental characteristics of the Bolivian society with its political culture peculiarities, complex social structure and the factor of the indigenous ethnic voting. The indigenous ethnic voting factor seems to gain more importance in the Andean region, if we consider the recent elections in Ecuador and Peru in the 2021. Moreover, the return of the MAS to power in Bolivia shall be analysed within the other regional phenomenon which is the strengthening of the left forces positions, contrary to the mid-2010s forecasts about the “right turn” in the Latin America.

The purpose of this chapter is to develop a framework for distance education institutions focusing on organizational code of cyber transparency in e-learning environments. The background of the study is based on the transparency concept as cyber transparency concept is derived from concepts of the cyber and transparency. In this sense, the cyber transparency framework points out two dimensions for distance education institutions as (1) internal transparency and (2) external transparency. The chapter explains these two dimensions in detail in terms of information share with people and amount of information shared. As a consequence, the cyber transparency framework can highlight the promotion of internal and external transparency in e-learning environments. On the other hand, this framework can be developed, customized and updated by the institutions, experts or researchers for different situations.
