O artigo de José Maria Vigil, Claretiano, enumera, no momento “Ver”, os mais fundos desafios que a Vida Religiosa (VR) enfrenta em nossa época. A seguir, no momento “Julgar”, chama a atenção para as profundas e céleres mudanças que estão ocorrendo nesta “época-eixo”, tanto na dimensão temporal como na espacial. Num terceiro momento, o do “Agir”, identifica as tarefas que acredita poder deduzir desta situação para a VR. Em particular, sugere: a) recuperar a teologia da VR; b) recuperar a antropologia da vida radical; e c) adequar o capital simbólico da VR. Concluindo, sintetiza suas propostas em duas grandes tarefas: 1) “desabsolutizar o cristocentrismo da VR”, e 2) “reinocentralizar a VR”. Reflexão pertinente quando se pensa na “refundação” da VR!Abstract: The article by José Maria Vigil, a Claretian, lists, in the moment “See”, the gravest challenges faced by the Religious Life (RL) in our times. In the moment “Judge” he calls attention to the deep and fast changes that are taking place in this “axle-age” both in the temporal and in the spatial dimensions. In a third moment – that of “Act” – he identifies the tasks that, in his opinion, should be carried out by the RL in the present situation. In particular, he suggests: a) rescue the theology of the RL; b) rescue the anthropology of the radical life; c) adjust the symbolic capital of the RL. In the conclusion, he synthesizes his proposals into two large tasks, namely: 1) “make the Christ-centrism of the RL less absolute” and 2) “make the RL more Kingdom-centric”. A pertinent idea when one thinks of the “re-founding” of the RL!

The Impact

The flow of fluid associated with the impact of water drops of radius R at a speed V onto unyielding dry metal surfaces of known roughness R a is described. Spatial dimensions of the deforming drop are normalized by transformations of the kind x ' — x/R , and time scales are normalized according to t ' = tV/R , to permit comparison of events where or differ. It is shown that the primary influence of the surface roughness parameter R a is the determination of the condition for the ejection of secondary droplets by the excitation of an instability in the developing watersheet; provided R a ≪ R , it is possible to evaluate the condition to a high degree of accuracy, and for R a = 0.84 μm it is found to be α4/3 RV 1.69 > 7.4, where α is the eccentricity of the drop at the moment of impact. Deceleration of the drop apex does not commence until > 0.6, contrary to the prediction of Engel (1955) but in good agreement with that of Savic & Boult (1957). Close examination of the very early stages of impact suggests strongly that the so-called watersheet originates at a moment t ' — 0.01 after first contact, regardless of the absolute values of R, V or R a ; the initial normalized watersheet velocity is of order 5. Where there is ejected material, its normalized velocity at the moment of ejection is of the order of 20 % greater than that of the watersheet substrate. Simple calculations also suggest that initial fluid velocities greater than 10 are required immediately before the initiation of the watersheet ( t '< 0.01). Impacts at speeds considerably greater than the appropriate terminal fall speed in air show no deviations in character from those investigated at much lower speeds. A simple subsidiary experiment also suggests that greater impact velocities are required to produce splashing on inclined targets.

Abstract Earthquake source theories of Haskell, Brune, and Savage have been drawn upon to develop a description of an earthquake as a major slip accompanied by many smaller tensional and slip events. We find natural explanations of several previously unexplained observations, such as: Robustness of the MS: mb discriminant, P corner frequency higher than S corner frequency for shallow earthquakes, High-frequency P/S amplitude ratio higher for shallow earthquakes than previous theories predict, Increase of complexity as a function of third moment, Small mb relative to MS for transform faults. (This can also be explained by emergent short-period P wave forms or by a low-Q region underlying the source). The theory predicts that MS:mb populations of earthquakes and explosions will not converge at small magnitudes. The theory also suggests that the standard interpretations of corner-frequency measurements can provide only a lower limit to fault-plane dimensions and, in combination with the moment, only an upper limit on stress drop.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the implication and details of the consolidation of the statutes of the Province of Quebec which is now under way. Unlike earlier consolidations, this one will be permanent and brought up to date annually, and as he approaches his subject, the author describes what must be understood by keeping up to date and who should be responsible for the task. Next, he discusses the technical aspects which ought to be considered in the process of keeping the consolidation up to date, among which are the moment and methods to inserting new texts, the numbering of sections, and the vehicle for the publication of amending legislation. In the third part of his paper, the author describes what important changes would have to be made to the present situation, should the proposed system be adopted. These changes are both documentary (a new presentation of the Quebec official Gazette is advocated) and legislative (new duties of the Quebec Official Printer are stressed). Finally there is established a link between the permanent consolidation and a policy for non-official consolidations. The author concludes with the expression of a point of view on the access of the people to the law.

Structural Point

In adopting a structural point of view in order to analyse institutionalized forms of religious life, we were led not only to show the totality or the system from which the different elements take their meaning, but also we had the possibility of comparing organized religious life with other forms of social organizations. Using this method, it becomes possible, on the one hand, to bring to light the latent functions of certain elements of the system ; and on the other hand, to question the credibility of the meanings which are officially attributed to organized religious life. Among the elements which go to make up the meaning of religious life, this study is concerned with the model of authority. In order to describe the tensions which organized religious life is undergoing at the moment, one can separate the various institutions by treating them as systems which are evolving under the single pressure of internal forces. However, if we wish to explain such phenomena, it is indispensable to reinsert the structure which is being studied into a larger cultural setting, the dominant culture of the period. In fact, organized religious life confers a positive meaning on its institutions in taking up again in an unconscious way the cultural models which have been interiorized by the whole of society in a diffused manner, which because of this possess es a high credibility.

The whole area of Dubrovnik-Neretva county, situated in the southeastern part of Croatia, is at the moment, in terms of road accessability, still not satisfactorily connected with the rest of Croatia. The lack of its accessability is mostly caused by the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina's border line cuts in two the Dubrovnik-Neretva county's (land) territory. As a result, on the way from southwest to southeast, or from Split to Dubrovnik, one needs to cross the state border with Bosnia and Herzegowina twice. The construction of the Peljesac Bridge (together with a set of interconnecting roads) should improve the present situation significantly, mainly due to the expected redirection of most of the traffic to the new route accross the Pelješac peninsula. It is fair to assume that this will additionally 'open' the entire Pelješac peninsula to the increased tourism related traffic, especially to the demand of one day visitors and/or weekend guests originating from the nearby regions. Since this will, most lilkely, create additional pressure on the environment, the aim of this paper is to investigate the extent to which, if any, the construction of the Pelješac bridge might affect future market perception, and, thus, the long term tourism sustainability of the Pelješac peninsula.

Microarray data are used to determine which genes are active in response to a changing cell environment. Genes are “discovered” when they are significantly differentially expressed in the microarray data collected under the differing conditions. In one prevalent approach, all genes are assumed to satisfy a null hypothesis, ℍ0, of no difference in expression. A false discovery (type 1 error) occurs when ℍ0 is incorrectly rejected. The quality of a detection algorithm is assessed by estimating its number of false discoveries, F. Work involving the second-moment modeling of the z-value histogram (representing gene expression differentials) has shown significantly deleterious effects of intergene expression correlation on the estimate of F. This paper suggests that nonlinear dependencies could likewise be important. With an applied emphasis, this paper extends the “moment framework” by including third-moment skewness corrections in an estimator of F. This estimator combines observed correlation (corrected for sampling fluctuations) with the information from easily identifiable null cases. Nonlinear-dependence modeling reduces the estimation error relative to that of linear estimation. Third-moment calculations involve empirical densities of 3×3 covariance matrices estimated using very few samples. The principle of entropy maximization is employed to connect estimated moments to F inference. Model results are tested with BRCA and HIV data sets and with carefully constructed simulations.

The mono-incineration of sewage sludge offers new opportunities to develop wastewater infrastructure as regional energy cells and resource recovery sites. At the moment, the most important products of this technology are electric energy and heat from combined heat and power plants, as well as ash for the recovery of phosphorus. With spatial analysis, scenarios of the decentralized and centralized spatial organization of mono-incineration are assessed with regard to the energy balances of the incineration process, transport demands, and the possibility to accommodate excess heat in the surrounding spatial fabric, and these are evaluated by applying a multi-criteria analysis. The study is based on the Austrian case and shows that the utilization, not only of phosphorus and excess energy but also of other potential resources should be aimed for. The transport of sludge and the potential to use excess heat in the surrounding spatial fabric decide if centralized or decentralized scenarios are environmentally more feasible, whereas an “economy of scale” clearly gives leeway to the centralized options. Therefore, this study clearly demonstrates that introducing mono-incineration should not only focus on the process engineering itself but should also consider spatial planning provisions to reduce transport demands and to deliver excess energy to the surrounding spatial fabric.

Guibert of Nogent gives a number of examples of a change for the better (bonae mutationis exempla) in the lives of his contemporaries. He evidently considered conversion to be a subject of strong topical appeal to his readers, as well as a matter of importance in itself, and he gives as many examples as he can. He has a double sense of the word conversio in mind. He often refers to the decision to enter a monastery which was the common meaning of the term in his day, but he also understands by it something closer to the larger sense of‘conversion’. Evrard of Breteuil, he says, turned from his pride to examine the wretched state of his soul, and began to look about him for a way of life in which he might live more worthily. He followed the example of Theobald of Champagne, who came to dislike the profession of arms: inter ipsa rudimenta militiae arma despiciens, and made himself self-supporting as a charcoal-burner. One Simon, count of Valois, ‘enriched the religious life of our day by the outstanding example of an unexpected conversion’: mirabili nostri temporis religionem inopinae mutationis claritate ditavit. Such a conversion was often—as Guibert relates it—sudden and irreversible in the change of direction it brought about. For St Bruno, his conversionis initia was something to which he, and others, could later look back with certainty as the moment when he began to live a different kind of life.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This paper deals with the convergence of the Doi-Navier-Stokes model of liquid crystals to the Ericksen-Leslie model in the limit of the Deborah number tending to zero. While the literature has investigated this problem by means of the Hilbert expansion method, we develop the moment method, i.e. a method that exploits conservation relations obeyed by the collision operator. These are non-classical conservation relations which are associated with a new concept, that of Generalized Collision Invariant (GCI). In this paper, we develop the GCI concept and relate it to geometrical and analytical structures of the collision operator. Then, the derivation of the limit model using the GCI is performed in an arbitrary number of spatial dimensions and with non-constant and non-uniform polymer density. This non-uniformity generates new terms in the Ericksen-Leslie model.</p>

ABSTRACT: "Am I my brother's guard?" This question becomes a reflection of individuals as social being who meet with other people every day in their differences. This question inspires the conscience of each person to take the right attitude when dealing with others. And the attitude referred to here is responsibility in the concept of levinas, which is different from everyday understanding. This thought was then tried to collide with diversity in Indonesia, especially the attitude of religious people when dealing with adherents of other religions. so that the moment of meeting with others truly becomes an ethical moment towards meeting, based on this attitude of responsibility. Based on library data, the author tries to describe the concept of levinas responsibility so that ultimately every difference can be seen as a gift and shared wealth. Through reflection on the unique concept of the responsibility of levinas, the authors put it as a foundation for the relations of religious life and Indonesian society, which often experience clashes due to pluralistic reasons. It is very appropriate, if Levinas's responsibilities are implied into the lives of our people because also the essence of Levinas's thinking actually has a strong foundation in our country's philosophy. KEYWORDS:  responsibility, plurality, religion, others, le visage, meeting
