Fundamental Reflection

RÉSUMÉ: La théologie européenne est aujourd’hui interpellée par la pensée décoloniale; elle est notamment soupçonnée d’avoir souvent voulu (consciemment ou non) exercer une certaine hégémonie sur la théologie des autres continents. Dans cette situation même, elle est invitée à une lecture renouvelée de sa propre histoire. L’interpellation de la pensée décoloniale doit aussi conduire à une réflexion de fond sur les relations entre la théologie européenne et les théologies élaborées dans d’autres continents. Elle devrait en outre encourager la théologie européenne à opérer à son tour une tâche d’inculturation sur le sol même de son propre continent. L’article montre enfin que cette théologie européenne doit également reconnaître les ressources dont elle dispose elle-même, et qu’elle a la responsabilité de les faire valoir dans le monde d’aujourd’hui, sans prétention hégémonique, mais en vue de contribuer ainsi aux tâches théologiques de notre temps.ABSTRACT: European theology is today challenged by decolonial thinking; it is particularly suspected for having often wanted (consciously or not) to maintain some hegemony upon the theology of the other continents. It this very situation it is invited to read in a new way its own history. The challenge of decolonial thinking must also lead to a fundamental reflection about the relations between the european theology and the theologies which have been elaborated in other continents. Moreover, it should encourage the european theology to undertake itself a task of inculturation on the soil of its own continent. Finally the article shows that this european theology has also to recognize the resources which it has inherited itself, and is responsible for developing them in today’s world, without any hegemonic pretension, but in order to contribute in this way to the theological tasks of our time.

Fundamental Reflection

Stacking fault contrast arises from the phase shift α = 2π ḡ · experienced by the diffracted wave at the fault. In an ordered L12 lattice, the displacement <111> is not necessarily equivalent to a displacement of the type <112>. 1 and 2 differ by a displacement <110> which can introduce a phase shift of π when ḡ is a superlattice diffraction vector. The physical difference can be seen by examining the formation of an intrinsic fault. When the fault is produced by removal of a close packed plane, <111>, no nearest neighbor violations of order result; on the other hand,nearest neighbor order is disrupted by shear of the <112> type.Similarly, there are two types of extrinsic faults. Values of α are listed in Table I for [111] and [112] with ḡ of the form 100, 200, and 300. As expected, the two representations are equivalent when ḡ is a fundamental reflection. For g = 100, 010 the values of α for 1 and 2 differ by π because of the antiphase boundary associated with the latter displacement.

AbstractThe article shows that, contrary to a commonly accepted assumption, no public consumption facilities such as restaurants, taverns or inns existed in medieval Cairo. This was caused on the one hand by the Egyptians' faithfulness to their own ancient practices and their indifference to pre-Islamic influences of foreign origin, and on the other by the Cairenes' compliance with the ordinances of the legal sources of Islam. These two factors led to the results described in the article because they complemented each other, as Islam was rooted in the same ancient social and cultural tradition as Egypt. Dans cet article on a avancé une thèse que – malgré une opinion bien etendue – les établissements alimentaires, tels que les restaurants, les tavernes et les auberges, n'existaient pas au Caire médiéval. Les causes de cette situation on peut expliquer, d'une part, par l'attachement des Égyptiens à leur cultures indigènes et leur indifférence aux traditions culturelles étrangères, alimentaires inclues, provenant d'une époque preislamique; d'autre part, par le fait que le comportement des Cairots était très strictement lié aux ordonnances de la religion islamique, enracinées dans la même tradition sociale et religieuse que les traditions égyptiennes. Or, on peut conclure que les évènements décrits dans cet article pouvaient avoir lieu puisque la tradition musulmane concernante les questions presentées ici était très strictement liée à la culture indigène.

Biotic Crisis

Stromatoporoids are the principal framebuilding organisms in the patch reef that is part of the reservoir of the Normandville field. The reef is 10 m thick and 1.5 km2in area and demonstrates that stromatoporoids retained their ability to build reefal edifices into Famennian time despite the biotic crisis at the close of Frasnian time. The fauna is dominated by labechiids but includes three non-labechiid species. The most abundant species isStylostroma sinense(Dong) butLabechia palliseriStearn is also common. Both these species are highly variable and are described in terms of multiple phases that occur in a single skeleton. The other species described areClathrostromacf.C. jukkenseYavorsky,Gerronostromasp. (a columnar species), andStromatoporasp. The fauna belongs in Famennian/Strunian assemblage 2 as defined by Stearn et al. (1988).

Informal Approach

(Ed. note:Encouraged by the success of the more informal approach in Christy's presentation, we tried an even more extreme experiment in this session, I-D. In essence, Kraft held the floor continuously all morning, and for the hour and a half afternoon session, serving as a combined Summary-Introductory speaker and a marathon-moderator of a running discussion on the line spectrum of cepheids. There was almost continuous interruption of his presentation; and most points raised from the floor were followed through in detail, no matter how digressive to the main presentation. This approach turned out to be much too extreme. It is wearing on the speaker, and the other members of the symposium feel more like an audience and less like participants in a dissective discussion. Because Kraft presented a compendious collection of empirical information, and, based on it, an exceedingly novel series of suggestions on the cepheid problem, these defects were probably aggravated by the first and alleviated by the second. I am much indebted to Kraft for working with me on a preliminary editing, to try to delete the side-excursions and to retain coherence about the main points. As usual, however, all responsibility for defects in final editing is wholly my own.)

The Continuum

Pecker:The topic to be considered today is the continuous spectrum of certain stars, whose variability we attribute to a pulsation of some part of their structure. Obviously, this continuous spectrum provides a test of the pulsation theory to the extent that the continuum is completely and accurately observed and that we can analyse it to infer the structure of the star producing it. The continuum is one of the two possible spectral observations; the other is the line spectrum. It is obvious that from studies of the continuum alone, we obtain no direct information on the velocity fields in the star. We obtain information only on the thermodynamic structure of the photospheric layers of these stars–the photospheric layers being defined as those from which the observed continuum directly arises. So the problems arising in a study of the continuum are of two general kinds: completeness of observation, and adequacy of diagnostic interpretation. I will make a few comments on these, then turn the meeting over to Oke and Whitney.

Sense Of Obligation

Abstract Michael Tomasello explains the human sense of obligation by the role it plays in negotiating practices of acting jointly and the commitments they underwrite. He draws in his work on two models of joint action, one from Michael Bratman, the other from Margaret Gilbert. But Bratman's makes the explanation too difficult to succeed, and Gilbert's makes it too easy.

Sudden Rise

AbstractWe have developed a model for theH2OandOHevolution in a comet outburst, assuming that together with the gas, a distribution of icy grains is ejected. With an initial mass of icy grains of 108kg released, theH2OandOHproductions are increased up to a factor two, and the growth curves change drastically in the first two days. The model is applied to eruptions detected in theOHradio monitorings and fits well with the slow variations in the flux. On the other hand, several events of short duration appear, consisting of a sudden rise ofOHflux, followed by a sudden decay on the second day. These apparent short bursts are frequently found as precursors of a more durable eruption. We suggest that both of them are part of a unique eruption, and that the sudden decay is due to collisions that de-excite theOHmaser, when it reaches the Cometopause region located at 1.35 × 105kmfrom the nucleus.

Selection Of

The first question to be answered, in seeking coordinate systems for geodynamics, is: what is geodynamics? The answer is, of course, that geodynamics is that part of geophysics which is concerned with movements of the Earth, as opposed to geostatics which is the physics of the stationary Earth. But as far as we know, there is no stationary Earth – epur sic monere. So geodynamics is actually coextensive with geophysics, and coordinate systems suitable for the one should be suitable for the other. At the present time, there are not many coordinate systems, if any, that can be identified with a static Earth. Certainly the only coordinate of aeronomic (atmospheric) interest is the height, and this is usually either as geodynamic height or as pressure. In oceanology, the most important coordinate is depth, and this, like heights in the atmosphere, is expressed as metric depth from mean sea level, as geodynamic depth, or as pressure. Only for the earth do we find “static” systems in use, ana even here there is real question as to whether the systems are dynamic or static. So it would seem that our answer to the question, of what kind, of coordinate systems are we seeking, must be that we are looking for the same systems as are used in geophysics, and these systems are dynamic in nature already – that is, their definition involvestime.

First Results

My talk will be on the oblique rotator model which was first proposed by Stibbs (1950), and since received success and further developments. I shall present two different attempts at describing a star according to this model and the first results obtained in the framework of a Russian-French collaboration in order to test the precision of the two methods. The aim is to give the best possible representation of the element distributions on the Ap stellar surfaces. The first method is the mathematical formulation proposed by Deutsch (1958-1970) and applied by Deutsch (1958) to HD 125248, by Pyper (1969) to α2CVn and by Mégessier (1975) to 108 Aqr. The other one was proposed by Khokhlova (1974) and used by her group.
