<p>Sustainable development, the basic social,<br />economic and ecological strategy of the late<br />20th century at the national and international<br />level, is gradually giving its place to green<br />growth. This change is associated with important<br />socioeconomic adjustments. We argue<br />that although green growth has moved away<br />from the one-dimensional concept of economic<br />growth, by incorporating the environmental<br />dimension, apart from the economic<br />one, at the same time it neglects the social<br />aspect that constitutes the third dimension<br />of sustainable development. Therefore, the<br />widely proposed in recent years green growth<br />strategy could be characterized as a major social<br />drawback.</p>

The article discusses the question of what social philosophy is and how it is constructed. On the one hand, this is an area of philosophy that focuses on a set of social problems and attributes through the lens of the naturalistic research program, which considers these attributes as similar to some type of “things.” On the other hand, cultural-centric program solves the question of how and when philosophy itself became social: starting with modernity and its processional characteristics, i.e. - in the first, in the second and the third modernity, in the processes of globalization and other social transformations, in processionality of identity, ethnicity, etc. Both modes of research are outlined, and emphasis is placed on the advantages of the cultural-centrist research program. The philosophy of the first - liberal modernity of the 19 th century, the second - organized modernity of the 20th century, the processes of the 21 st century, opening up a new type of modernity - new Modernity for non-Western countries, is the social philosophy of processes, paying special attention not to the aspectual, quasi-concrete interpretation of the summable features of social reality but to processes.

Geographers are now taking the problematic of corporeality seriously. ‘The body’ is becoming a preoccupation in the geographical literature, and is a central figure around which to base political demands, social analyses, and theoretical investigations. In this paper I describe some of the trajectories through which the body has been installed in academia and claim that this installation has necessitated the uptake of certain theoretical legacies and the disavowal or forgetting of others. In particular, I trace two related developments. First, I point to the sometimes haphazard agglomeration of disparate theoretical interventions that lie under the name of postmodernism and observe how this has led to the foregrounding of bodily tropes of fragmentation, fluidity, and ‘the cyborg‘. Second, I examine the treatment of the body as a conduit which enables political agency to be thought of in terms of transgression and resistance. I stage my argument by looking at how on the one hand Marxist and on the other queer theory have commonly conceived of the body, and propose that the legacies of materialist modes of analysis have much to offer current work focusing on how bodies are shaped by their encapsulation within the sphere of the social. I conclude by examining the presentation of corporeality that appears in the first volume of Marx's Capital. I do so to suggest that geographers working on questions of subjectivity could profit from thinking further about the relation between so-called ‘new’ and ‘fluid’ configurations of bodies, technologies, and subjectivities in the late 20th-century world, and the corporeal configurations of industrial capitalism lying behind and before them.

The roughness exponent of surfaces obtained by dispersing silica spheres into a quasi-two-dimensional cell is examined. The cell consists of two glass plates separated by a gap, which is comparable in size to the diameter of the beads. Previous work has shown that the quasi-one-dimensional surfaces formed have two roughness exponents in two length scales, which have a crossover length about 1 cm. We have studied the effect of changing the gap between the plates to a limit of about twice the diameter of the beads. If the conventional scaling analysis is performed, the roughness exponent is found to be robust against changes in the gap between the plates; however, the possibility that scaling does not hold should be taken seriously.

The Kiowa 5 were a group of Kiowa artists born in Indian Territory (in what is now known as Oklahoma) during the first decade of the 20th century. Stephen Mopope (1898–1974), Jack Hokeah (c. 1900/2–1969), Monroe Tsatoke (1904–1937), James Auchiah (1906–1974), and Spencer Asah (1905/10–1954) were encouraged to paint by relatives, schoolteachers, and Indian Services personnel. In 1926, Oscar Jacobson, head of the University of Oklahoma art department, created a special program for Kiowa artists. Through Jacobson’s influence, from 1928 to 1932, the Kiowa 5 exhibited their paintings at the First International Art Exposition in Prague, Czechoslovakia, and at the 1932 Venice Biennal. These exhibitions, along with a portfolio of the artists’ work titled Kiowa Indian Art, brought the group critical acclaim in America and Europe. Stylistically, their watercolor paintings featured outlined fields of flat colour, with little or no indication of perspective or the third dimension. This flat, linear, decorative style was derived in part from Plains ledger drawings and hide paintings. Their subjects were auto-ethnographic representations of everyday, historically traditional Kiowa life. Their art provided a bridge between Plains ledger art of the late 19th century and the flat Studio Style taught to Indian students by Dorothy Dunn in Santa Fe in the 1930s.

The simplified algorithm of the numerical solution of the differential diffusion equation is presented. The solution is based on the one-dimensional diffusion model with the third kind boundary conditions and the finite difference method. The proposed approach allows for the quick and precise assessment of the carburizing process parameters – temperature and time.

Considering the presence of interfaith activities outside the religious sphere, this paper raises the question of a correlation between space and interfaith interaction, and proposes an analytical scheme for the analysis of the spatiality of (interfaith) interaction. Using the example of an interfaith tour in the Hamburg Art Gallery and based on a spatial and interaction theory framework, the paper focuses on three dimensions in which space is expressed and correlated with interaction. First, is space as an element of the social situation’s definition, this includes a synthesised picture of the gallery. Secondly, the activity structures affect the (spatial) positioning between the participants and space is reproduced in interaction. The third dimension refers to the material space, especially the artwork and its function in interaction.

Poverty studies need to be carried out in new ways since the established ones have not had the support to catalyze policies that eradicate it. So it is, that has increased the number of poor. The objective of this essay proposes a different manner of generating knowledge about poverty. Here it is established that, instead of observing deficiencies, we look at potentialities that support the generation of transdisciplinary alternatives to reconstruct life projects. This document presents a reflective analysis - method used - on the concept of the decolonization of power with the objective of justifying the urgency on the decolonization of the academic knowledge that is cultivated on the poverty. It is considered the need to include the thinking of the poor about how they look at themselves and how they manage to "bullfight" the uncertainty and the social and ecological complexity in which they live. But not to create charity, or paternalistic projects, but so that this procedure is taken as potentialities. Finally, this paper proposes that theory and practice shall be built on an alliance of - erudite and daily knowledge - to form knowledge-generating chains. In order to create solutions "handcrafted, born of a strong sense of community: intercultural and interdisciplinary - based on the pluri-diverse and the multi-universe. This would trigger a new look on poverty, remove adverse labels to place potentialities, strengths and hopes of all those individuals who have survived the grievance and adversity that the one-dimensional vision has imposed.

The third crystal structure containing the hydroxo-bridged cis-diammineplatinum(II) dimer has been determined for a perchlorate salt of the complex, [Pt2(NH3)4(μ-OH)2](ClO4)2. However, the dinuclear cations in the nitrate and the carbonate salts, [Pt2(NH3)4(μ-OH)2](NO3)2 [Faggiani, Lippert, Lock & Rosenberg (1977). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 99, 777–781] and [Pt2(NH3)4(μ-OH)2](CO3)·H2O [Lippert, Lock, Rosenberg & Zvagulis (1978). Inorg. Chem. 17, 2971−2975], were reported to possess a nearly planar geometry. The cation in the title perchlorate salt has been found to possess an exceptional bent form in which two Pt coordination planes within the dimer are tilted at an angle of 151.7 (1)° to one another. The diplatinum entity has a syn orientation with regard to the conformation of two hydroxo bridges, in part due to the one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network achieved in the crystal structure. DFT MO investigations have also been carried out to reveal that the planar-bent selection could be induced by the anti–syn selection at the H(hydroxo) atoms. Comparison has also been made between the geometrical features of the three salts from the viewpoint of the orientation of H(hydroxo) atoms.

The distributions of the global interfacial widths, correlation functions, and the local interfacial widths of the growth process described by the one-dimensional Edward-Wilkinson equation are shown to be denumerable convolutions of exponential distributions. The same conclusions can also be extended to the distributions of the global interfacial widths for another linear growth equation, describing some super-rough growth processes, in both one- and two-dimensional cases. Most of these distributions display the lognormal-like behavior. We propose that the mechanism provided by the accumulation of exponential random variables may contribute to a lot of the lognormal-like behavior observed in the social and natural sciences.
