The project is to come up with a mechanism to allow the creation of a Virtual Distributed Disk (VDD). The VDD will be exposed as a device file but will actually be backed by multiple disks residing on multiple machines. Thus, the contents of a VDD can be distributed across multiple machines based on user specified policies. The focus of the project will be as follows: Allow creating, deleting, updating, and reading of any part of VDD. There will be a kernel module to handle various file related system calls and also a system to be able to write to and read from remote sections of the VDD when an application on any machine writes to or reads from it. A caching solution is provided to avoid remote file access as far as possible.

Business growth is considered as one of the main topics of entrepreneurship research. Due to the increased interest on entrepreneurship, new theoretical perspectives have emerged to explain entrepreneurial behavior. One of these emergent theories is effectuation. It is widely known that entrepreneurs and owner-managers count on different decision-making logics during the internationalization of their ventures, including causal and effectual reasoning. Despite that the use of effectual reasoning has been generally linked to the early stages of the creation of a venture; it has recently been introduced to on the internationalization of SMEs research. Introduced by Sarasvathy (2001), effectuation logic is stated to grow in an unstable operating context where it is complicated to predict and in contrast, it is likely to unexpectedly respond to changes in the environment. Furthermore, it represents a typical shift in approaching entrepreneurship. In this theoretical paper, we first aim to highlight the evolution of the concept and the development of the effectuation theory within the literature. Furthermore, we explain the similarities and differences existing between causation and effectuation reasoning. Finally, we use the lens of effectuation to come up with an understanding of the internationalization of SMEs.

Marriage, according to Martin Luther, is an institution both secular and sacred. It is secular because it is an order of this earthly life. But its institution goes back to the beginning of the human race and that makes marriage sacred, a divine and holy order. It does not – like the sacraments – nourish and strengthen faith or prepare people for the life to come; but it is a secular order in which people can prove faith and love, even though they are apt to fail without the help of the Word and the sacrament. The author applies this view of Luther in terms of two unacceptable extremes: the creation ordinances of Brunner and the analogy of relation of Barth. The dialectic of Law and Gospel should never be dispensed. Marriage is necessary as a remedy for lust, and through marriage God permits sexual intercourse. Similar is the allegory which Paul employs: that Adam and Eve, or marriage itself, is a type of Christ and the church.

Premiere Partie

La littérature est un texte, un tissu de relations de soi à soi, de soi aux autres, d’innombrables autres passés et à venir, par le biais du langage. Cet outil premier semble appartenir à tous, mais en réalité il n’est pas à la portée de chacun. Il serait donc intéressant de relater l’expérience angevine que je viens de vivre avec Lire~Ecrire~Compter (LEC), une association pour la promotion des savoirs, l’insertion sociale et professionnelle, créée en 1986, qui lutte contre l’illettrisme. L’une de ses approches originales, la “lecture-plaisir”, consiste à proposer à des volontaires de participer à la création d’un livre. Depuis 2004, l’association permet à ses “apprenants” de rencontrer un écrivain reconnu afin de participer à des ateliers d’écriture. Le fruit de leur travail commun est retranscrit dans la première partie de l’ouvrage publié ; la seconde nait de la libre créativité de l’auteur. Deciphering one’s life and writing it Literature is a text, a fabric of relations between oneself and oneself, between oneself and others – countless past and to come –, by the means of language. This tool is supposed to belong to all, but is in fact not accessible to everybody. In this respect, an experience I just went through in Angers (France) is highly interesting. Lire-Écrire-Compter (Read-Write-Count), an association for the promotion of knowledge, social and professional inclusion, and against illiteracy since 1986, proposes to its students to take part in the creation of a book. Since 2004, this program called “Reading-pleasure” offers students the opportunity of a “writing workshop” with a renowned writer. The first part of the published book presents this collective work; the second part originates from the author’s own creativity.

The Relationship

When is the future? Is it to come or is it already here? This question serves as the frame for three further questions: why is utopia a bad concept and in what way is fabulation its superior counterpart? If the object of fabulation is the creation of a people to come, how do we get from the present to the future? And what is a people to come? The answers are (1) that the future is both now and to come, now as the becoming-revolutionary of our present and to come as the goal of our becoming; (2) utopia is a bad concept because it posits a pre-formed blueprint of the future, whereas a genuinely creative future has no predetermined shape and fabulation is the means whereby a creative future may be generated; (3) the movement from the revolutionary present toward a people to come proceeds via the protocol, which provides reference points for an experiment which exceeds our capacities to foresee; (4) a people to come is a collectivity that reconfigures group relations in a polity superior to the present, but it is not a utopian collectivity without differences, conflicts and political issues. Science fiction formulates protocols of the politics of a people to come, and Octavia Butler's science fiction is especially valuable in disclosing the relationship between fabulation and the invention of a people to come.

City States

The Early Dynastic Period is seen as a formative phase influencing the character and shape of Egyptian culture for millennia to come. The sacro-political concept of ‘unification of the two lands’ had the effect of mythologizing transition from a system of city states with an already widely homogeneous material culture into a kind of territorial state under one divine king (Narmer) at the end of the fourth millennium bc. This set the stage for the developments in iconography, archaeology of media and sociology of knowledge that are discussed in this chapter. A formalization of iconographic tradition building on ‘iconems’ (specifically shaped pictorial motives) was connected to the sphere of rulership from the earliest periods. Additionally, the developing need for an invention of new iconographic conventions to construct and visualize a unified Egyptian identity (as well as the concept of the divine dual king) culminated in the creation of monumental art and ceremonial objects as ‘semiophors’ (‘carriers of meaning’). Like iconography, the new medium of pictorial-phonetic writing served power and articulated governmental knowledge of the elite. As a state-wide standardized system of notation and expression, phonetic writing also provided an indispensable prerequisite to organize and administer a unified territory of this size.

The Way

We argue that a variant of the sua sponte doctrine, namely, the practice disfavoring the creation of issues not raised in the legal record, is a norm with substantial consequences for the U.S. Supreme Court. Without it, justices would act considerably more like legislators, who are free to engage in “issue creation,” and less like jurists, who must wait for issues to come to them. Yet, McGuire and Palmer claim that justices engage in issue creation in a “significant minority” of their cases. We dispute this finding because we think it is an artifact of the way McGuire and Palmer collected their data. Indeed, for virtually every case in which they found evidence of issue creation, we show that the issue was actually present in at least one of the litigants' briefs. This suggests that justices may be policy seekers, but they are not policy entrepreneurs; an that briefs filed by third parties (such as amici curiae) are generally not a source of important issues considered by the Court.

The Universe

Although scientific research is in full bloom regarding, for instance, the environment, the fact of creation cannot be ignored either, even if some scientists deny it, while others ascertain it, albeit from perspectives, however, foreign to the patristic vision specific of the Orthodoxy. Consequently, the limits of cosmology are structured as well by Christian theology, which shows that the study of the world, guided by laws of physics in a limited framework, is carried out inside the creation affected by the consequences of the primordial sin, so that the reality of the world before sin is known only to those who reach spiritual perfection and holiness, therefore, from an eschatological perspective, since they, too, go through the moment of separation of the soul from the body, waiting for the general resurrection. Therefore, a new way of being is affirmed in the Orthodox Church, by the personal experience of each believer, which is a transformation on the personal and cosmic level, according to Jesus Christ’s resurrected body, which means the reality of a new physics, which concerns both the beginning of the universe, but also its new dimension, at the Lord’s Second Coming, when heaven and earth will be renewed by transfiguration. Regarding the existence of the universe, the differences are given by the perceptions of two cosmologies. Thus, the theonomous cosmology highlights man’s purpose on earth, the necessity of moral and spiritual life, and the transfiguration of creation, explaining God’s presence in His creation, but also His work in it, namely the transcendence and the immanence in relation to the creation. The autonomous cosmology engenders the evolutionist theory, which leads to secularism and, consequently, to the gap between the contemporary man’s technological progress, and his spiritual and moral regress. Today, more scientists are turning their attention also to the data of the divine Revelation, the way it makes itself known by its organs, the Holy Scripture and the Holy Tradition, in the one Church, which will mean a deepening of the dialogue between science and theology in favour of the man from everywhere and from the times to come.

In this text we answer at the same time to two recent interesting works of Giancarlo Minati and Luca Possati in which they both called to work on the development, one from the part of the computer side, and the other of the humanities one of an IA unconscious in complex cognitive systems as an experiment to come to more anthropomorphic machines, performance added by the unconscious will not be addressed in this paper. We gathered many sources in psychoanalysis to help us understand what could be the barriers dressed against us. In the light of Lacan, Anzieu, Leclaire and Winnicott amongst others we tried to explain how having a body, in the biological sense, makes a difference with recreating—this is a typical human preoccupation—an unconscious in IA. Of course, from a French psychoanalytic standpoint there are many conservative objections, while some can be easily overcome, the matter of innate desire and body seems an understandable concern. It is also important to consider the interesting conjecture of Possati (i.e., a computer can be a projective identification object); while we only may say that it is a transitional object in the sense of Winnicott. Also, we can study further within psychotherapy the behaviour of the patient and therapist, with an algorithm we developed. In the end we address the objection of French postructruralist psychology objections to the creation of a human-like unconscious and advise the experimenting of Possati’s theory with our device.
