Comparative Manner

This article develops an argument about what it defines as the ‘third phase of modernity’ and tackles, in a comparative manner, the cases of Latin America (especially Brazil), South Asia (especially India) and China. It tries to identify specific modernizing moves which imply individualizing comparisons as well as encompassing comparisons in relation to these areas and countries. It builds its argument from a few theoretical assumptions and moves in an inductive manner in order to dislocate the discussion of modernity from its strong referents in the West and the conceptual definitions that stem from this. The article tries also to connect the discussion of modernity to debates about development. It proposes a multidimensional approach and analyzes the main dimensions of contemporary modernity and modernizing moves in those regions and countries.

Hygiene Compliance

Objective.To evaluate the effectiveness of a positive deviance strategy for the improvement of hand hygiene compliance in 2 adult step-down units.Design.A 9-month, controlled trial comparing the effect of positive deviance on compliance with hand hygiene.Setting.Two 20-bed step-down units at a tertiary care private hospital.Methods.The first phase of our study was a 3-month baseline period (from April to June 2008) in which hand hygiene episodes were counted by use of electronic handwashing counters. From July to September 2008 (ie, the second phase), a positive deviance strategy was implemented in the east unit; the west unit was the control unit. During the period from October to December 2008 (ie, the third phase), positive deviance was applied in both units.Results.During the first phase, there was no statistically significant difference between the 2 step-down units in the number of episodes of hand hygiene per 1,000 patient-days or in the incidence density of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) per 1,000 patient-days. During the second phase, there were 62,000 hand hygiene episodes per 1,000 patient-days in the east unit and 33,570 hand hygiene episodes per 1,000 patient-days in the west unit (P < .01). The incidence density of HAIs per 1,000 patient-days was 6.5 in the east unit and 12.7 in the west unit (P = .04). During the third phase, there was no statistically significant difference in hand hygiene episodes per 1,000 patient-days (P = .16) or in incidence density of HAIs per 1,000 patient-days.Conclusion.A positive deviance strategy yielded a significant improvement in hand hygiene, which was associated with a decrease in the overall incidence of HAIs.

TO THE AVERAGE EUROPEAN CONCERNED WITH, OR SIMPLY curious about, international politics and the Third World predicament, Latin America is a glaring compound of violent Machtpolitik, rampant demography and collective soul-searching. Uneasily torn between Western loyalties and the dismal realities of underdevelopment, the huge continent from Rio Bravo to Patagonia keeps featuring as the unhappy part of America – indeed, of the whole West (for Latin America, unlike Africa, is not just a lost possession of the West – rather, it is a Western projection, for all the obvious significance of its non-Western ethnic and cultural components).

Third Phase

The paper discusses issues related to the petrology of picrobasaltic melts forming lava flows on Lanzarote, Canary Islands. During ascientific and educational expedition on the aforementioned island, lava flows of picro basalt of the third phase of the 1731–1732 eruption were studied and tested. Preference was given to the well-preserved streams in the west and south of the island thatare accessible for direct study. Volcanogenic-sedimentary associations were identified in the studied outcropsand described, the structural and textural features of the flows were characterized, and samples with mantle rock xenoliths were taken for petrological reconstructions. New geochemical data onrocks and minerals are presented. It was established that the temperature of the initial melt was 1100–1180°C. Large harzburgitephenocrysts in picro basalt are xenocrysts formed as a result of melting and disintegration of mantle xenoliths.

Three Phases

تتناول هذه الدراسة بالتحليل موقف إقبال من الفكر والتراث الصوفي؛ وتلقي الضوء على المؤثرات التي ساهمت في تشكيل هذا الموقف والتطورات التي مر بها، ويمكن تحديدها بثلاث مراحل؛ الأولى: من البدايات وحتى عودته من دراسته في أوروبا، وهي مرحلة أعجب فيها بشعراء الصوفية ومعظمهم قد كتب بالفارسية. وفيها يظهر تأثير المستشرقين الذين درس معهم في تلك الفترة. والمرحلة الثانية: تمثل ظهور الوعي المستقل لديه، فتتحول نظرته من الإعجاب الطاغي إلى إعجاب ناقد انتقائي، ويتشكل لديه وعي بواقع العالم الإسلامي وبالعلاقات الحقيقية بين الشرق والغرب المبنية على التفوق والاستعمار. أما المرحلة الثالثة؛ فتتمثل في كتابه "تجديد الفكر الديني في الإسلام"، ففيها قدم إقبال فلسفته في إعادة البناء الروحي البديل لصوفية الماضي، مؤكداً أن عملية إعادة البناء الروحي هذه المستمدة من القرآن والسنة النبوية هي علاج التخلف في المجتمعات المسلمة، وسبيل استعادة مجدها في الحاضر. The purpose of this study is to investigate Muhammad Iqbal's position on Sufi thought and heritage, and to illuminate the factors that have helped to shape this position and its development. Three phases can be discerned: the first extends from the beginning to his return from Europe, in which he admired Persian Sufi poets, and showed some influence of Orientalist scholars on him. The second demonstrates independence of thought, where admiration is disciplined by the adoption of a selective, critical approach, where he built an awareness of the true nature of the relations between the East and the West, founded on West supremacy and colonialism. In the third phase Iqbal presents his own reformative conception of spiritual reconstruction derived from the Holy Qur'an and Prophetic Tradition.

Third Phase

Clarice Lispector's Água viva [1973] can be read as a project of a linguistic resignification. For this, it is necessary to understand the context in which it is set, the third phase of literary Modernism in Brazil. The movement, not only in its literary segment, influenced by European vanguards such as abstractionism (and the denial, too, of the discursive figure in the text), surrealism etc., found new incorporations in Latin America, resulting in genuine productions which were consolidated, breaking away from mimetic Romanticism and establishing the mark of a production that incorporated elements of Brazilianness. The enunciation in Água viva brushes up effects of musical intonation and iconographic plasticity to address the form and the non-form, on the threshold between them, in the construction of this iconoclastic project permeated by moments sometimes of abstraction, sometimes of figurativity. We present some keys for this reading of the book in this paper.

What is an underground? Is it possible to embed this particular way of life into any definition? After all, even underground did not have the need to define itself at the beginning. The presented text represents a brief reflection of the development of underground in Czechoslovakia; attention is paid to the impulses from the West, which had a significant influence on the underground. The text focuses on the key events that influenced the underground. For example, the “Hairies (Vlasatci)” Action, which took place in 1966, and the State Security activity in Rudolfov in 1974. The event in Rudolfov was an imaginary landmark and led to the writing of a manifesto that came into history as the “Report on the Third Czech Musical Revival.”
