The confidence with which Pritchett wields the multiple photographic metaphors used to describe both the strengths and the flaws of modern fiction suggests an intimacy between the two modes – even if only in terms of goals rather than technique – that was ubiquitous and would have been immediately understood by his readers. The equation of the novelist to ‘the new story camera man’ is striking, but by the mid-1930s there was nothing unusual about such a comparison; it was commonly assumed that what modern novelists were producing, especially when they were writing about cities, was equivalent to modern photography. The aim of the present book has been to elucidate what this proximity between fiction and photography meant in practice, beyond the generalised comparisons. On the one hand, if ‘photography’ is mainly a metaphor for a literary mode, then what kind of a literary lineage can be said to have influenced it? And on the other, what were the affinities between the two art forms, and, crucially, what kind of photography can the period’s urban fiction be said to have resembled or imitated?

This article is an attempt to demonstrate the relation between appreciation of morphology and structure in form on the one hand, with higher symbolic structures – crucial for meaning formation routines – on the other, and to evaluate their significance in transmedial narratives, primarily in the case of media-based artworks. The use of catastrophe theoretical models to classify forms, their structure and dynamics is proposed, and the question of how these models can give us insight into the meaning that is carried through transmedial narratives (referential or abstract) is examined. Finally, the value of these insights for the composition and practice-based analysis of multimedia art forms is demonstrated.

The idea of the relation between art and life as becoming-life of art is a consequence of specific modern developments ranging from the Enlightenment to capitalism. This assemblage of thought and practice is present in one of the most dominant art forms today, and the task of this paper is to reassess the current state of affairs in art considering that the current state of affairs in art is a symptom of the global society of control. In order to be emancipatory art, on the one hand, Art presupposes de-substantialization and deessentialization of the biopolitically formed life and the category of Man, while on the other hand it also presupposes a new ?generic in-humanum? (in Badiou), that is, a people to come (in Deleuze) as the basis of politicity. Hence, emancipatory art needs to break away with the human in order to reach that which is beyond the current democratic materialism.

The relation of human life and nature has been unbroken with the creation of the earth, human has consumed everything obtained from nature for his livelihood and entertainment, on the one hand he receives food, shelter and clothes from nature and on the other hand nature Seeing the scenes and portraying them by the artists is an incredible feeling of peace. Nature, river, trees, plants, mountains and animal birds are all depicted in the paintings painted by the artists first and the color, Tulika, the material that is helpful in drawing them, is also derived from nature. The artists first used colors from nature in their artwork. In tribal folk art, natural colors have been used in Mandana, Phad, Alpana, Madhubani etc. These colors are sometimes made with stones, flowers and leaves. The nature of the forms that we are attracted to and which gives us joy, is not just a replica of the art, but the art forms have been created by being influenced and transformed by the basis of those forms. We rejoice which has no meaning. Only his visceral figure leaves his mark. But the desire for analogy and meaning in some form remains in the picture. The waterfalls, the river, the sea attracts the frequency of the lines in the thick stem of the stem. ' मानव जीवन और प्रकृति का संबध पृथ्वी की रचना के साथ अटूट रहा है, मानव ने प्रकृति से प्राप्त सभी चीजों का उपभोग अपने जीवनयापन और मनोरंजन के लिये किया है, एक ओर उसे प्रकृति से भोजन, आवास और वस्त्र प्राप्त होता है तो दूसरी ओर प्रकृति के दृश्यों को देखकर और कलाकारों के द्वारा चित्रित कर शान्ति की अदभूत अनुभूति होती है। सर्वप्रथम कलाकारों द्वारा जो चित्र चित्रित किये गये उनमें प्रकृति चित्रण नदी, पेड़, पौधे, पर्वत और पशु पक्षी सभी चित्रित किये गये तथा इन्हें चित्रित करने में सहायक सामग्री रंग, तुलिका वह भी प्रकृति से प्राप्त होती है। सर्वप्रथम कलाकारों ने प्रकृति से प्राप्त रंगों का उपयोग अपनी कलाकृति में किया। आदिवासी लोक कला में माण्डना, फड़, अल्पना, मधुबनी आदि में प्राकृतिक रंगों का उपयोग किया गया है। ये रंग कभी कभी पत्थरों , फूलों तथा पत्त्यिों से बनाए जाते है। प्रकृतिमें जिन रूपों की ओर हम आकर्षित होते है तथा जो हमें आनन्द प्रदान करते है, उनकी प्रतिकृति मात्र कला नहीं है उन रूपों का आधार लेकर उनसे प्रभावित होकर तथा उनका रूपांतरण करके कलाकृतियों का निर्माण होता रहा है।‘प्रकृति में अनेक ऐसी आकृतियांे को देखकर हम आनन्दित होते है जिनका कोई अर्थ नहीं होता है। केवल उनकी चाक्षुष आकृति अपनी छाप छोड़ती है। किन्तु चित्र में किसी रूप में सादृश्य की तथा अर्थ की इच्छा बनी रहती है। झरने, नदी, समुद्र में मोटे तने के काठ में रेखाओं की आवृत्ति आकर्षित करती है।‘

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.

Abstract. Two experiments examined the influence of stories on recipients’ self-perceptions. Extending prior theory and research, our focus was on assimilation effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in line with a protagonist’s traits) as well as on contrast effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in contrast to a protagonist’s traits). In Experiment 1 ( N = 113), implicit and explicit conscientiousness were assessed after participants read a story about either a diligent or a negligent student. Moderation analyses showed that highly transported participants and participants with lower counterarguing scores assimilate the depicted traits of a story protagonist, as indicated by explicit, self-reported conscientiousness ratings. Participants, who were more critical toward a story (i.e., higher counterarguing) and with a lower degree of transportation, showed contrast effects. In Experiment 2 ( N = 103), we manipulated transportation and counterarguing, but we could not identify an effect on participants’ self-ascribed level of conscientiousness. A mini meta-analysis across both experiments revealed significant positive overall associations between transportation and counterarguing on the one hand and story-consistent self-reported conscientiousness on the other hand.

SummaryThe prognosis of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has improved considerably by introduction of aggressive consolidation chemotherapy and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Nevertheless, only 20-30% of patients with AML achieve long-term diseasefree survival after SCT. The most common cause of treatment failure is relapse. Additionally, mortality rates are significantly increased by therapy-related causes such as toxicity of chemotherapy and complications of SCT. Including radioimmunotherapies in the treatment of AML and myelodyplastic syndrome (MDS) allows for the achievement of a pronounced antileukaemic effect for the reduction of relapse rates on the one hand. On the other hand, no increase of acute toxicity and later complications should be induced. These effects are important for the primary reduction of tumour cells as well as for the myeloablative conditioning before SCT.This paper provides a systematic and critical review of the currently used radionuclides and immunoconjugates for the treatment of AML and MDS and summarizes the literature on primary tumour cell reductive radioimmunotherapies on the one hand and conditioning radioimmunotherapies before SCT on the other hand.

In recent years, political and social conditions have changed dramatically. Many analyses help to capture these dynamics. However, they produce political pessimism: on the one hand there is the image of regression and on the other, a direct link is made between socio-economic decline and the rise of the far-right. To counter these aspects, this article argues that current political events are to be understood less as ‘regression’ but rather as a moment of movement and the return of deep political struggles. Referring to Jacques Ranciere’s political thought, the current conditions can be captured as the ‘end of post-democracy’. This approach changes the perspective on current social dynamics in a productive way. It allows for an emphasis on movement and the recognition of the windows of opportunity for emancipatory struggles.

Political ideological pluralism, religious diversity are characteristic features of modern Ukrainian society. On the one hand, multiculturalism, socio-political, religious differentiation of the latter appear as important characteristics of its democracy, as a practical expression of freedom, on the other - as a factor that led to the deconsocialization of society, gave rise to "nodal points" of tension, confrontational processes, in particular, in political and religious spheres.

Two aspects of Schumpeter' legacy are analyzed in the article. On the one hand, he can be viewed as the custodian of the neoclassical harvest supplementing to its stock of inherited knowledge. On the other hand, the innovative character of his works is emphasized that allows to consider him a proponent of hetherodoxy. It is stressed that Schumpeter's revolutionary challenge can lead to radical changes in modern economics.

Our analysis documents that the existence of hidden “holes” in the capital of not yet failed banks - while creating intertemporal pressure on the actual level of capital - leads to changing of maturity of loans supplied rather than to contracting of their volume. Long-term loans decrease, whereas short-term loans rise - and, what is most remarkably, by approximately the same amounts. Standardly, the higher the maturity of loans the higher the credit risk and, thus, the more loan loss reserves (LLP) banks are forced to create, increasing the pressure on capital. Banks that already hide “holes” in the capital, but have not yet faced with license withdrawal, must possess strong incentives to shorten the maturity of supplied loans. On the one hand, it raises the turnovers of LLP and facilitates the flexibility of capital management; on the other hand, it allows increasing the speed of shifting of attracted deposits to loans to related parties in domestic or foreign jurisdictions. This enlarges the potential size of ex post revealed “hole” in the capital and, therefore, allows us to assume that not every loan might be viewed as a good for the economy: excessive short-term and insufficient long-term loans can produce the source for future losses.
