Dr. Clouston said that when he suggested toxæmia to the secretary as a suitable subject for a discussion at this meeting he had not intended to be the first speaker, because his object was to bring out more fully the views of the younger members who had recently committed themselves so strongly to the toxæmic and bacterial etiology of insanity, and so to get light thrown on some of the difficulties which he and others had felt in applying this theory to many of their cases in practice. It was not that he did not believe in the toxic theory as explaining the onset of many cases, or that he under-rated its importance, but that he could not see how it applied so universally or generally as some of the modern pathological school were now inclined to insist on. He knew that it was difficult for those of the older psychological and clinical school to approach the subject with that full knowledge of recent bacteriological and pathological doctrine which the younger men possessed, or to breathe that all-pervading pathological atmosphere which they seemed to inhale. He desired to conduct this discussion in an absolutely non-controversial and purely scientific spirit. To do so he thought it best to put his facts, objections, and difficulties in a series of propositions which could be answered and explained by the other side. He thought it important to define toxæmia, but should be willing to accept Dr. Ford Robertson's definition of toxines, viz., “Substances which are taken up by the (cortical nerve) cell and then disorder its metabolism.” He took the following extracts from his address at the Cheltenham meeting of the British Association (1) as representing Dr. Ford Robertson's views and the general trend of much investigation and hypothesis on the Continent.

Abstract Since the 1948 enactment of 28 USC § 1782 in the United States, no consensus has emerged as to the availability of federal court discovery to parties in private foreign or international arbitral proceedings. This year, within months of one another, six federal courts have issued rulings that are widely inconsistent on the availability of section 1782 discovery. The courts have ruled that a proceeding before a private international arbitral tribunal is eligible for section 1782 discovery; that, categorically, no such discovery is available; that the definition of private arbitral tribunal applies to CIETAC; and that discovery is available by virtue of a party’s parallel pursuit of discovery through foreign civil proceedings. As these cases demonstrate, recent US court decisions have brought no predictability, let alone certainty, to the subject. Congress, on the other hand, could and should amend the statute so as to include private tribunals in the scope of section 1782. This article discusses the case law’s state of disarray; proposes a legislative solution; considers the proposed amendment’s merits; and advocates for Congress to act.

According to Marilyn Burns, students will define mathematics based on how they do math. If the majority of their time is spent reciting a list of properties and following a sequence of steps to solve equations, students will think that algebra involves only memorizing a list of rules. If they spend most of their time in geometry practicing vocabulary, they will look at it as simply being a subject in which they spout back definitions. If they spend the majority of their time on paper-and-pencil computation, they will think that mathematics simply involves performing isolated operations on numbers (Burns 1995). On the other hand, students will have a very different definition of the subject if the focus in the mathematics class is on understanding concepts and developing meaningful procedures. Students can learn all of the activities above in a way that will allow them to apply these skills to new situations or know when to use a particular skill or piece of factual knowledge.

Today human right is of great importance. The existence of different minorities such as lingual, ethnic, racial, and religious minorities with different tendencies derived from different civilizations and cultures has brought about social and cultural varieties and differences in each country and also the emergence of this variety has resulted in the development of variety in a specific culture and ceremony in different countries. On the other hand, each country as a member of international society has to observe norms and principles accepted by international society. In other words, although preparation of constitution of each country depends on exclusive qualification of the country’s people and government, it does not mean they are free in each law because international legitimacy of each country’s government and constitution depends on observation of the accepted principles and the governing rules in international law. The subject of minorities was first introduced in Vienna Congress and today different minorities live in different countries. In international documents and treaties, a precise definition of minority has not been provided. The present article seeks to interpret minority rights according to international law and investigate minority rights in international law by using international documents.

Summary A phenomenological approach to anthropology should not propose a static definition of man, but inquire into specific human motivations, which never occur isolated. Therefore, the autonomy-dependency connection is presented as a possible human motivational ground. The notion of autonomy, presented with reference to the Kantian idea of the self-determining reason and to the Husserlian account of self-constitution, reveals in itself elements of dependency. On the other side, the notion of vulnerability and reliance is displayed through different approaches of Gehlen, MacIntyre and Toombs in order to illustrate dependency not as a mere capitulation of the subject, but as one of its intrinsic possibilities, which does not exclude autonomous will.

ملخص البحث:   يهدف هذا البحث إلى دراسة الوظائف العلائقية للشرط في نماذج من الحديث النبوي الشريف دراسة نحوية نصية؛ وذلك لإبراز مظاهرها من جهة، وبيان دورها البنائي لنص الحديث من جهة أخرى. تناول البحث بداية مفهوم الشرط، ثم التعالق الشرطي بوصفه بنية نحوية نصية، وانتقل بعد ذلك إلى الوظائف العلائقية للشرط في نصوص الحديث النبوي الشريف. قام الباحث بعملية استقرائية تحليلية لنصوص الأحاديث النبوية الشريفة، وقد اختار عينات ممثلة لبنية الشرط في هذه الأحاديث، معتمداً على نسخة "صحيح" البخاري. للبحث منهج خاص تمثل في تركيزه على جانب العلاقات، والدخول في إبراز الوظائف العلائقية من منظور لساني حديث، وليس من منظور وصفي، فالغــرض هو التحــليل والغوص في أعمــاق الأثر اللساني النصي للشرط في نص الحديث، أي: سبر أغوار الشــرط في نص الحديث من منـــظور نحوي نصي، وله أيضاً ميزة خاصة تتمثل في أنه يبحث في كلام سيد الكائنات صلى الله عليه وسلــم، وإنها رحــــلة عذبة، تدفع في النفس السرور والراحة والطمأنينة، وإنه باعث على التعلم الجاد والتعليم الفاعل. انتهى البحث إلى أن وظائف الشرط العلائقية قد أثرت بصورة فاعلة في بناء نص الحديث، وقد تمثلت هذه الوظائف بتأسيس مبدأ الدورية، ثم الوظيفة التسلسلية التوضيحية، وبناء استراتيجية الحوار، والتواتر الإحالي، وتأسيس التوازي، وأخيراً البعد التحديدي بأنواعه: المستقل، والتبعي، والسببي.الكلمات المفتاحية: الوظائف- العلائقية- الشرط- نحو النص- الحديث النبوي.Abstract:This paper attempts to study grammatically and textually the functions of conditional phrase in selected of the Prophet’s Traditions. It aims at pointing out its features on one hand, and explaining its structural role on the other. It begins with the definition of conditional phrase, its relational condition as a textual grammatical structure. The relational functions of condition in the prophetic sayings will be examined afterwards. The researcher uses deductive and analytical approach to examine the sayings from the collection of Ṣaḥiḥ al-Bukhārī in order to find the relational functions of the conditional phrase from the perspective of modern linguistic but not descriptively. This is in order to uncover and analyze the depth of textual linguistic presence of conditional phrase in the Prophet’s Traditions. The study is special in the sense that it studies the Prophet’s Traditions and it   worthy endeavor that brings comfort and excitement to the souls. It brings   to a serious learning and teaching undertaking of the subject matter. The study concludes that functional relational conditions have significant influence on the structure of the sayings. These functions are apparent in the principle of periodicity and have the serial function that aims to explain. It also helps to build conversation strategy, referential succession and the determinative dimension with it categories; independent, consequential and causal.Keywords: Functions– Relational– Condition– Textual Grammar– Prophetic Sayings. Abstrak:Makalah ini membincangkan fungsi-fungsi hubungan bagi frasa syarat dalam hadis Nabi terhadap tatabahasa teks; iaitu dengan menonjol dan menerangkan sifat-sifat serta peranan yang dimainkan oleh frasa syarat sebagai frasa berstruktur. Makalah ini dimulai dengan definisi frasa syarat dan hubungannya sebagai struktur tatabahasa. Seterusnya, makalah ini mengkaji fungsi-fungsi hubungan bagi frasa syarat dalam hadis Nabi. Penyelidik telah menggunakan pendekatan deduktif dan analitis untuk mengkaji hadis-hadis yang terdapat dalam Ṣaḥiḥ al-Bukhārī, agar fungsi-fungsi hubungan bagi frasa syarat diperoleh menurut perspektif linguistik moden dan bukan secara deskriptif.

The aim of  the  paper  is  to  show  the  conditions  of  subjectivity constitution in terms of dialogue and the figure of the Other. The analytical and hermeneutical approach I hold is the foundation of interdisciplinary attempt to describe  possible  concepts  of  shared  relation of the terms: consciousness, subjectivity and identity. The three appear to be recognized only in the ethical situation. It requires taking responsibility for the Other, for giving him the identity which mirrors one’s subjectivity. In this way the subject learns the limits and chances for gaining self-knowledge. The paper also presents a new approach towards redefining the definition of subjectivity, which includes artificially and medically enhanced entities.

Summary The purpose of this paper is to present a new interpretation of Dionysios Thrax’s original definition of diáthesis. Diáthesis was regarded as one of seven morphological categories of the (finite) verb of which there were two and only two formal variants, i.e., enérgeia “performance” and páthos “experience” (generally referred to as the active and middle sets of personal endings respectively). Diáthesis was manifested in the personal ending of the verb, whose function was to represent various properties of the ‘subject’, i.e., its person and number as well as its diáthesis “disposition” – or general thematic relation – to the verb. The morpheme for the diáthesis enérgeia “performance” exhibited the active set of personal endings as its ‘form’ and expressed the person and number of the subject as well as the fact that it ‘performed’ the predication as its ‘schematic’ meaning; the morpheme for the diáthesis páthos “experience” exhibited the middle set of personal endings as its ‘form’ and expressed the person and number of the subject as well as the fact that it ‘experienced’ the predication as its ‘schematic’ meaning. Moreover, just as the other Greek (and Roman) grammarians, so too was Dionysios Thrax well aware of instances in which there was a discrepancy between ‘form’ and ‘meaning’. Accordingly, he incorporated such ‘anomalies’ into his definition by mentioning four concrete examples and labeling them with his technical term mesótēs “middle”: the first two examples were active forms which exhibited the meaning of páthos, whereas the second two examples were middle forms which exhibited the meaning of enérgeia.

In this paper, I will try to propose a general characterisation of the spirit in Hegel'sEncyclopaedia. This characterisation is based on the opposition between nature and spirit. More precisely, in my view the Hegelian spirit can be defined as the activity of bringing the natural exteriority back to a living totality.We know that for Hegel the notion of spirit takes so many shapes that their unity is difficult to find. For instance, what does the soul in the subjective spirit, property in the objective spirit and the cult of the Greek gods in the absolute spirit have in common? Furthermore, when we consider property, for example, the problem is knowing if the spirit is here constituted by the owner, by the deeds of ownership or by the living relationship between the owner and the possessed goods.Moreover, the Hegelian spirit is a philosophical descendant of several different traditions. The question is, therefore, to know how these traditions are linked in the Hegelian notion. I will present these briefly before stating my general hypothesis about the definition of the spirit.First, the Hegelian spirit is connected to thenoûsof the Greek philosophers (the Latinspiritus, intellectus). Thenoûs— on the one hand, an immaterial entity leading the universe, and, on the other, a faculty of the soul — is most often distinguished by its separate and rational nature. For Hegel too, the spirit, as a non-perceptible entity, constitutes the freest and most rational stage in the development of the Idea.

The Subject

Sati in British India came to simultaneously refer to the widow-burning rite as well as to the self-immolating widow. With growing imperialist interests in the Empire in India, the British administration detected in the sati issue a powerful opportunity to promote the image of a progressive, reform-minded, benevolent Raj. An endeavour to know how Indian women themselves portray sati in their writings is of unfailing interest. Caught between the loud crossfire of the two warring camps of pro- and anti-Sati campaigns, the Indian woman—both the subject and the object of the entire sati discourse—hardly gets a chance to claim for herself the attention of a perceptive audience. The silence of the sati victim is, of course, nearly insurmountable and only a voice, seeped through another agency, reaches us. This chapter concentrates on three such mediated voices (Cornelia Sorabji, Snehalata Sen, and Sita Devi) as presented in their fiction.
