Speculating the Subject of Money: Georg Simmel on Human Value

Recognition of a person, his life, health, honor, dignity, inviolability and security as the highest social value, as a key principle of the Constitution of Ukraine and its implementation in the spectrum of public authority is the subject of in-depth theoretical and legal analysis. Historical origins of modern perception of human value. reaching the depths of the birth of the Christian faith, revolutionary events in the European space of the past, world wars, the adoption of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights are reflected in many constitutions of states, including modern Ukraine. At the same time, certain problems are obvious in this area, including: differences in the perception of the content of human rights in Western and Eastern civilizations, Christian and Muslim beliefs, diverse constitutional declaration and further legislative implementation, the separation of new human rights is increasingly attracting the attention of scholars and practitioners. Some of these problems have been the subject of research.

The Subject

Departing from the work of Georg Simmel on Rembrandt, we try to characterize self-portrait as a moment of inner confrontation and of inner inquiry on our inner self and individuality. All self-portraits are pervaded by the ephemeral character of life, where death is constantly present. The self-portrait is born from the drawing and the drawing develops it in a continuity where the past juts out in the present. The human face is the sum of a duration that moulds its traits, its expression and its variation in a tension that brings the past to a present that is now remade. Thus, the self-portrait, more than the portrait, enables the possibility to transmit what the subject has of unique as an individual. In this sense, the self-portrait represents the knowledge of an individuality felt in the process of life, individuality withdrawn from the stream of life and in the unity of its existence.

The Subject

It is not so long ago that Niklas Luhmann (1988) wrote that the study of trust has never been a topic in mainstream sociology, and others have echoed this claim with reference to other social sciences. Curiously, deep insights of Georg Simmel (1858–1918) on trust have been largely ignored or have been remembered only in minor references. Since the 1980s and 1990s, the subject of trust has become, quite suddenly, a theme of the day. Social and political scientists have embarked on this topic, posing theoretical and empirical questions. This book is concerned with trust/distrust in post-Communist Europe after the collapse of the Soviet bloc in 1989. It raises questions about trust and democracy, and how history, culture, and social psychology shape the nature and development of political phenomena. In this introduction, trust and different forms of rationality are discussed, along with trust/risk and trust/fear, mutual distrust and public security, socialization into fear, arbitrariness of decisions in a totalitarian regime, trust and legitimacy, and abuse of common sense.

The prevalent and currently unanimous European legal system regarding personal data comprises a set of protective rules, enshrining, amongst others, the prerequisites for lawful processing. The venture of the ensuing aims to examine, under the scope of both constitutional rules and the ius cogens provisions of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the validity of a transaction pertaining to the processing of personal data. The objective of the herein argumentation specifically focuses on the juridical act of selling personal data, in accordance with the principle of contractual freedom and its compatibility with the core of constitutional provisions, which safeguard human value. The correlations examined below are referred to the contractual interaction between the subject of the personal data and the data controller under the scope of a double facet approach of GDPR, as a legal system both personal and property oriented.

The Subject

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

Orbit Computation

In this paper an orbit computation program for artificial satellites is presented. This program is operational and it has already been used to compute the orbits of several satellites.After an introductory discussion on the subject of artificial satellite orbit computations, the features of this program are thoroughly explained. In order to achieve the representation of the orbital elements over short intervals of time a drag-free perturbation theory coupled with a differential correction procedure is used, while the long range behavior is obtained empirically. The empirical treatment of the non-gravitational effects upon the satellite motion seems to be very satisfactory. Numerical analysis procedures supporting this treatment and experience gained in using our program are also objects of discussion.

I think we'll ask Bill Baustian if he will give us a brief run down on what the electrical run problems are, besides doubling the system every year.

The Relationship ◽

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

The Subject

The growth of Ag films deposited on various substrate materials such as MoS2, mica, graphite, and MgO has been investigated extensively using the in situ electron microscopy technique. The three stages of film growth, namely, the nucleation, growth of islands followed by liquid-like coalescence have been observed in both the vacuum vapor deposited and ion beam sputtered thin films. The mechanisms of nucleation and growth of silver films formed by ion beam sputtering on the (111) plane of silicon comprise the subject of this paper. A novel mode of epitaxial growth is observed to that seen previously.The experimental arrangement for the present study is the same as previous experiments, and the preparation procedure for obtaining thin silicon substrate is presented in a separate paper.

Extensive Damage

With the advent of the space age and the need to determine the requirements for a space cabin atmosphere, oxygen effects came into increased importance, even though these effects have been the subject of continuous research for many years. In fact, Priestly initiated oxygen research when in 1775 he published his results of isolating oxygen and described the effects of breathing it on himself and two mice, the only creatures to have had the “privilege” of breathing this “pure air”.Early studies had demonstrated the central nervous system effects at pressures above one atmosphere. Light microscopy revealed extensive damage to the lungs at one atmosphere. These changes which included perivascular and peribronchial edema, focal hemorrhage, rupture of the alveolar septa, and widespread edema, resulted in death of the animal in less than one week. The severity of the symptoms differed between species and was age dependent, with young animals being more resistant.
