"Constructive Prerequisites for Sense and Explanatory Worlds in Lucian Blagaʼs Aphorisms. The main purpose of this study is to tackle Lucian Blagaʼs aphorisms by emphasizing the generative strategies involved in the construction of both philosophical or poetic sense and explanatory worlds. If we are to integrate aphorisms within the typological frame of texts, according to Mircea Borcilăʼs proposals, it will be imperative to take into account both their formal peculiarities and, much more importantly, the elements that converge towards their sense creation. In connection with Eugenio Coseriuʼs universes of discourse theory, Blagaʼs aphorisms project two different levels of sense and typological finalities, namely the level of philosophical thought, which underlies the apophantic logos, and the level of creative phantasy, which underlies the poetic logos. However, as we talk about a special prototype of text, we are able to grasp a mixture of universes of discourse and, implicitly, of both their corresponding finalities and strategies through which philosophical or poetic sense is generated. In theory, the hybrid form of some aphorisms reveals their synthetic nature, which coagulates two complementary zones of auctorial consciousness within the same level of discourse, undoubtedly interconnecting creative imprints.

Indian philosophical thought has always attempted to deal with opposite or binary values. However, when faced with contradictions, social scientists try to analyze the form, meaning and function of opposed values in real social situations. The problem of opposed values becomes difficult and anomalous when the culture, at different levels, not only permits oppositions, but simultaneously sanctions them. The data on meat-eating among the Kanya-Kubja brahmans of Katyayan gotra (primarily an exogamous group composed of several lineages) present this type of problem to the social anthropologist.

This article analyzes the Pegida movement from Germany, arguing that Pegida has to be seen as a special form of a populist right movement. Besides sharing the basic characteristics of such a movement, it also displays attributes from other forms of right-wing activism. The additional forms of right-wing activism identified as influential for Pegida were autonomous nationalism and ethnopluralism. These forms of activism contributed to the movement on different levels and their combination accounts for the special, hybrid form of Pegida. This analysis builds upon social movement theory and is based upon primary data collected in interviews with participants and from the official Facebook website of the movement.

The paper examines ecological and genetic characteristics of hybrids of yellow wagtails: yellow white-eared wagtail Motacilla flava beema and yellow-fronted wagtail Motacilla lutea . At present, in the zone of contact between closely related forms of yellow wagtails, a system of their spatial and reproductive interaction with each other has been formed under conditions of wide sympatry. This interaction is manifested in the existence and maintenance in the population samples of three components of their genetic system: the genotypes M. flava , M. lutea , and the light-headed hybrid form M. f. beema M. lutea . The new data obtained significantly supplement the understanding of the intraspecific interaction of three forms: M. flava , M. lutea , and the light-headed hybrid form M. f. beema M. lutea . Light-headed hybrids M. f. beema M. lutea have their own specific stable characters at different levels: morphological, behavioral, and molecular genetic as confirmation of the genetic interaction existing in natural populations between the two species, which is an interspecies mechanism for maintaining their structure. In the zone of contact between M. flava and M. lutea , unlimited hybridization of these species occurs and mixed pairs are formed. In this case, the isolation of light-headed hybrid forms with a characteristic manifestation of various groups of characters: morphological - the color of the plumage of the head; genetic - distinguishing light-headed hybrids from the original species ( M. flava and M. lutea ). This phenomenon can act as a mechanism for maintaining the integrity of the species of yellow wagtails - both the yellow wagtail M. flava and the yellow-fronted wagtail M. lutea due to the constantly occurring interspecific hybridization in areas of wide sympatry within a single polytypic complex.

A field once dominated by rationalist assumptions, grand strategy is beginning to make room for alternatives approaches. Recently, scholars have drawn on discourse theory to explore how narratives influence the directionality of grand strategy. Others have emphasized the importance of ideology as a driver of grand strategy, but have failed to specify how ideology interacts with different levels of grand strategizing—creation, mobilization, and implementation. This essay makes two interrelated arguments: first is that that ideology is constitutive of the meaning structure that underlies grand strategy. Second is that ideology’s primary function is to invest grand strategy with clarity (if not simplicity), stability, and coherence. We identify three distinct ways in which ideology can shape a nation’s grand strategy, including threat identification, mobilization and extraction of resources, and ideological balancing. We use a range of exploratory cases to assess ideology’s status in grand strategizing.

Развитие генетических технологий способствовало стремительной биосоциализации современного общества. Биосоциальность и биоидентичность - феномены, описывающие важнейшие глобальные и локальные процессы развития современной биомедицины, определяющие интересы все большего числа людей. Создание групп по биосоциальным признакам невозможно без принципа конвергенции усилий. Он работает на разных уровнях общественной жизни, оказывая влияние и на формирование научного знания. Телесность пациента может рассматриваться в качестве гибридной формы, где сплетается органика, знание, технологии и экзистенциальный опыт персональной истории болезни. Возможности легитимации в будущем генетических технологий улучшения человека закладывают основание для формирования новых локусов биосоциальности и биоидентичности. The development of genetic technologies has contributed to the rapid biosocialization of modern society. Biosociality and bioidentity are phenomena that describe the most important global and local processes of development of modern biomedicine, which determine the interests of an increasing number of people. Creating groups on biosocial grounds is impossible without the principle of convergence of efforts. It works at different levels of social life, influencing the formation of scientific knowledge. The physicality of the patient can be considered as a hybrid form where organics, knowledge, technology and existential experience of a personal medical history are intertwined. The possibilities of legitimizing the future genetic technologies for human enhancement lay the foundation for the formation of new loci of biosociality and bioidentity.

Base Superalloy

Recently we have been investigating a class of nickel-base superalloys which possess substantial room temperature ductility. This improvement in ductility is directly related to improvements in grain boundary strength due to increased boundary cohesion through control of detrimental impurities and improved boundary shear strength by controlled grain boundary micros true tures.For these investigations an experimental nickel-base superalloy was doped with different levels of sulphur impurity. The micros tructure after a heat treatment of 1360°C for 2 hr, 1200°C for 16 hr consists of coherent precipitates of γ’ Ni3(Al,X) in a nickel solid solution matrix.

Some authors using immunofluorescent techniques had already suggested that some hepatocytes are able to synthetize several plasma proteins. In vitro studies on normal cells or on cells issued of murine hepatomas raise the same conclusion. These works could be indications of an hepatocyte functionnal non-specialization, meanwhile the authors never give direct topographic proofs suitable with this hypothesis.The use of immunoenzymatic techniques after obtention of monospecific antisera had seemed to us useful to bring forward a better knowledge of this problem. We have studied three carrier proteins (transferrin = Tf, hemopexin = Hx, albumin = Alb) operating at different levels in iron metabolism by demonstrating and localizing the adult rat hepatocytes involved in their synthesis.Immunological, histological and ultrastructural methods have been described in a previous work.

This paper presents four domains of markers that have been found to predict later cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disease. These four domains are (1) data patterns of memory performance, (2) cardiovascular factors, (3) genetic markers, and (4) brain activity. The critical features of each domain are illustrated with data from the longitudinal Betula Study on memory, aging, and health ( Nilsson et al., 1997 ; Nilsson et al., 2004 ). Up to now, early signs regarding these domains have been examined one by one and it has been found that they are associated with later cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disease. However, it was also found that each marker accounts for only a very small part of the total variance, implying that single markers should not be used as predictors for cognitive decline or neurodegenerative disease. It is discussed whether modeling and simulations should be used as tools to combine markers at different levels to increase the amount of explained variance.

Fluctuation Model

In the IRT person-fluctuation model, the individual trait levels fluctuate within a single test administration whereas the items have fixed locations. This article studies the relations between the person and item parameters of this model and two central properties of item and test scores: temporal stability and external validity. For temporal stability, formulas are derived for predicting and interpreting item response changes in a test-retest situation on the basis of the individual fluctuations. As for validity, formulas are derived for obtaining disattenuated estimates and for predicting changes in validity in groups with different levels of fluctuation. These latter formulas are related to previous research in the person-fit domain. The results obtained and the relations discussed are illustrated with an empirical example.
