ABSTRACT: The present study aims at understanding sublimation as a psychic event inextricably linked to the advent of the subject, being then characterized as a singular and paradigmatic subjectivation process in what regards the psychic constitution. We begin with a brief theoretical- conceptual review with respect to Freud's process of sublimation, as well as the return and deepening carried out by Lacan, and considering contemporary articulations on the subject, we relate its importance, long neglected, with regard to the aspects and theoretical-clinical developments, as well as its fundamental importance with respect to understanding the psychic constitution within the psychoanalytic framework.

This article seeks to clarify how international courts and tribunals should decide whether to exercise jurisdiction over incidental issues. It considers such issues incidental, which would fall outside the subject-matter jurisdiction of an international court or tribunal if submitted separately, but which courts rule upon to resolve disputes falling within their jurisdiction. International courts and tribunals have employed diverse approaches to decide whether to exercise jurisdiction over incidental issues. This contribution will assess their decisions to distil what criteria are best suited to ensure the effectiveness of the underlying treaty while taking into account the fundamental importance of state consent for judicial dispute settlement. It concludes that the necessity to exercise jurisdiction over the incidental issue and the nature of the issue should be the guiding criteria for international courts and tribunals, while the character of the jurisdictional basis may serve as supplementary criterion.

This chapter opens with an essay on Midrash. It takes up the subject of Midrash from a wide-ranging perspective, and considers basic phenomenological, stylistic, and exegetical features of the subject. The chapter also aims to set the stage for the fundamental importance of Midrash in Jewish literature and culture. For rabbinic interpreters, a major moment is the closure of the scriptural canon, which establishes the principal authoritative textual source for all subsequent developments. The closure established a fixed source, so that all interpretation was to unfold through an examination of its topics and contents, a correlation of its verbal and literary features, and a filling in of legal, theological, and narrative gaps.

Lubrication, or the action of oils and other viscous fluids to diminish friction and wear between solid surfaces, does not appear to have hitherto formed a subject for theoretical treatment. Such treatment may have been prevented by the obscurity of the physical actions involved, which belong to a class as yet but little known, namely, the boundary or surface actions of fluids; but the absence of such treatment has also been owing to the want of any general laws revealed by experiment. The subject is of such fundamental importance in practical mechanics, and the opportunities of observation so frequent, that it may well be a matter of surprise that any general laws should have for so long escaped detection.

All’interno dell’ampio quadro assistenziale della persona in stato vegetativo (SV), alimentazione e idratazione artificiale rappresentano un aspetto di fondamentale importanza, similmente a quanto accade nell’ambito dell’assistenza rivolta a neonati e più in generale a lattanti. Poiché spesso l’assenza di funzioni fisiologiche o di relazione con l’esterno vengono addotte per giustificare l’interruzione delle procedure assistenziali nelle persone in SV, l’articolo intende affrontare la questione della doverosità dell’idratazione e della alimentazione artificiale in tali persone, attraverso un confronto fra le diverse “funzioni” vitali, fisiologiche o comportamentali e relazionali presenti sia nei soggetti in SV sia nei neonati e nei lattanti. Alla luce di tale confronto, si evince come la sola ragione per cui possa essere erroneamente sostenuta la liceità dell’interruzione della alimentazione nei soggetti in SV è di natura ideologica e non scientifica. ---------- Within the broad framework of the care for the person in vegetative state (VS), artificial nutrition and hydration have a fundamental importance, similarly to what happens in the assistance given to newborns and to unweaned infants. As the absence of physiological functions or relationships with the outside world are often given to justify the assistance withdrawal in subjects in VS, the article aims to address the issue of artificial nutrition and hydration dutifulness in these persons, through a comparison between the various vital, physiological “functions”or behavioral and social skills present both in the subject in VS and in newborns and infants. By the light of this comparison, it appears that the only reason that can wrongly support the legality of the nutrition withdrawal in the subjects in VS is ideological and not scientific.

When we consider the physical properties of the air, the most noticeable features are its low density and its compressibility, and a student new to the subject might be excused for doubting whether the air were not too light and yielding to support an aeroplane in flight. The air is indeed very compressible, but this property of the air becomes important only when the speed of motion becomes a fairly large fraction of the speed of sound, and in practice its influence is felt only in the behaviour of airscrews with high tip speeds.A more important property of the air is its viscosity or internal friction, and this property is of fundamental importance in flight, either by its direct frictional action or by its indirect action in determining the type of flow round a body. As an example of this indirect action we may consider the lift of a wing.

Abstract The heirs of the initial, philosophical Judaism, in the second century C.E. received a system in which the subject of economics—the rational disposition of scarce resources—was utilized in order to set forth a systemic statement of fundamental importance. While making every effort to affirm the details of that statement and apply them, their system repeated the given but made no significant use of what had been received. Instead the heirs of the Mishnah invented what we must call a counterpart-category, that is to say, a category that dealt with problems of the rational utilization of scarce resources, but not with those same scarce resources defined by the philosophical system of the Mishnah. The systemic category for the aborning religious system was not an economics, but corresponded, in the new system, to the position and role of economics in the old.


The original discovery of helium in cleveite and other minerals by Ramsay, and the subsequent explanation of its presence as due to production in situ by radio-active change, are of fundamental importance, and are too well known to need anything more than mention here. No exception has been known hitherto to the rule that helium is found in radio-active minerals exclusively—minerals, that is, in which either uranium, or thorium, or both, are present in appreciable quantity. It seemed, however, that valuable information might be gleaned from a fuller examination of the subject than has yet been made.


Since the spring of 1909 we have been engaged in conducting experiments and observations upon the transmission of Trypanosoma lewisi by rat-fleas, and we hope at some future period to publish a full account of the whole work, including the development of the trypanosome in the flea. The experiments here recorded have been selected for special publication because they are complete in themselves and because they appear to us decisive on a point of fundamental importance, namely the method of transmission by the flea. Nuttall (1908) reviews the subject of the transmission of T. lewisi and records experiments of his own on that subject up to December, 1908. Reference will be made to Nuttall's experiments later on, and we will first proceed to describe the experiments that form the subject of the present communication under the following headings:— I. The object of the experiments. II. Account of the experiments (general and detailed). III. Conclusions to be drawn from the results of the experiments.

The concession is considered to be the most important and most distressing form of business activity control for the entrepreneur. In the Polish legal order, it was the subject of regulation of every legal act which was considered to be the so-called economic constitution. The purpose of this study is to bring closer Polish legal regulations devoted to the issue of licensing business activities from the interwar period to the current law. Particular emphasis should be placed on how to regulate concessions in the applicable Entrepreneurs Law, which significantly differs from previous legal regulations. The legislator’s intention was to create an act of a very general nature, regulating only problems of fundamental importance for the issue of concessions. Other issues are regulated by special laws.
