The Ideal

Various theories highlight the importance of using the actor/environment as the ideal unit for theoretical and experimental focus. Clothing, placed as it is as the intermediary between body and environment, is typically treated as a symbol rather than as either an integral part of either the body or the environment. When clothing is considered an extension of the body, the historical development of clothing reflects persistent differences in the physical capabilities of the human animal and operates as an instrument for solo action. In addition, it is argued that due to the ecological mechanisms connecting perception and action, differential clothing options for the sexes has led in no small part to differences in self-perception as well as the perception of others. However, when it comes to the very specific behavior of mate selection and procreation, clothing can be understood as a tether between two systemic units, offering a description of a system that allows for communication of potential social affordances and opportunities for joint action.

In this article, we argue that certain behaviour connected to the attempt to attain contemporary female body ideals in Denmark can be understood as an act of achievement and, thus, as an embodiment of the culture of achievement, as it is characterised in Præstationssamfundet, written by the Danish sociologist Anders Petersen (2016) Hans Reitzels Forlag . Arguing from cultural psychological and sociological standpoints, this article examines how the human body functions as a mediational tool in different ways from which the individual communicates both moral and aesthetic sociocultural ideals and values. Complex processes of embodiment, we argue, can be described with different levels of internalisation, externalisation and materialisation, where the body functions as a central mediator. Analysing the findings from a qualitative experimental study on contemporary body ideals carried out by the Danish psychologists Josefine Dilling and Maja Trillingsgaard, this article seeks to anchor such theoretical claims in central empirical findings. The main conclusions from the study are used to structure the article and build arguments on how expectations and ideals expressed in an achievement society become embodied.

The Ideal

The analysis of motivational systems underlying temporal organisation in animal behaviour has relied primarily on two conceptual functional frameworks: Homeostasis and biological clocks. Homeostasis is one of the most general and influential concepts in physiology. Walter Cannon introduced homeostasis as a universal regulatory principle which animals employ to maintain constancy of their ‘internal milieu’ in the face of challenges and perturbations from the external environment. Cannon spoke of “The Wisdom of the Body”, the collective of responses designed to defend the ideal internal state against those perturbations.

Skillful Action

AbstractDichotomous thinking about mental phenomena is abundant in philosophy. One particularly tenacious dichotomy is between “automatic” and “controlled” processes. In this characterization automatic and unintelligent go hand in hand, as do non-automatic and intelligent. Accounts of skillful action have problematized this dichotomous conceptualization and moved towards a more nuanced understanding of human agency. This binary thinking is, however, still abundant in the philosophy of joint action. Habits and skills allow us agentic ways of guiding complex action routines that would otherwise overwhelm our reflective capacities. In this paper, I look at how theories of skill, habit, and know-how in individual action can inform a non-dichotomous account of joint action. I argue that a fuller understanding of joint agency has to understand not only group know-how, but also the role of attention and the highly integrated types of control that allow agents to act together.

Abstract: Danish early childhood professionals (pedagogues) are responsible for the well-being of all children in their care, but it is not clear what well-being implies. The article presents an analysis showing how pedagogues observe and categorize the well-being in children. Well-being is a state that pedagogues recognize by using special' seeing-techniques', related to their ideas of how children are supposed to behave in a certain context. The body of a child is culturally created, depending on the indoor or outdoor surroundings. The ideal of a happy child is an attuned child, who is able to adapt to adult expectations, while the physical surroundings are co-determining what the pedagogues 'see'.

The interdisciplinary character of the science of language causes great difficulties in bibliographic support in this field. The object of bibliographing in linguistics is not only literature on the language, but also a variety of linguistic resources, which represent a special object to study a branch of linguistics - lexicography. Bibliography of linguistics is the least studied field by specialists among humanitarian bibliographic complexes. The paper first studied the array of domestic bibliographic sources for more than 150 years; the most significant of them are shown. The subject of research is national bibliographic resources in the linguistics field. The objective is to characterize the historical development of the linguistic bibliography in Russia. To achieve this goal we had to solve a number of tasks: identify existing sources for ongoing historical research; to trace the history of forming bibliographic sources, bibliography of bibliographies of linguistics; to form and analyze the body of bibliographic materials; to characterize the problematic areas in the bibliographic software of linguistics. Using the bibliometric analysis it was studied an array of bibliographic products published between 1860 and 2013, the dynamics of bibliographic resources formation was determined, the degree of bibliographic support of some topics and issues in linguistic science and prior directions of their development were revealed. The main results of the study should be considered: 1. The nuclear of fundamental indices on general and applied linguistics is singled out in analyzed literature sources covering the period 1918-1977, as well as in Slavic linguistics for 1825-1981. The complex of current and retrospective bibliographic products was formed and replenished in the country in 1963-1988. 2. The largest share of bibliographic sources in linguistics is presented by book and article bibliography (over 70%), many of which remain bibliographically unrecorded and unused. 3. The following subject areas of linguistics are considered to be bibliographically supported: inter-linguistics, culture of speech and language norms, lexicography, linguistic geography, linguistics regional geography, onomastics. 4. An obvious need to continue the index or database of bibliographic aids in the field of linguistics over the past 50 years is marked. 5. Further development of the linguistics bibliography is impossible to imagine without creating an electronic guide on the bibliographic resources of linguistics, which would reflect the diversity of bibliographical resources and provide their rich information potential for professionals and remote users

ABSTRACTNutrition and dietetics throughout history have been viewed from two fundamental aspects: as a means to restore health and as a means to prevent the disease. Since its inception the appearance of dietetics, the search was based on maintaining the balance of health and disease. Later, with the rise of the scientific revolution, as is nutrition science who focuses on the study of the different processes through which the body uses nutrients ingested. In the historical development of scientific knowledge both concepts, provided the key tools for the study of this discipline. All these important contributions, provided the fundamental basis for the development of nutrition as a scientific discipline XXI century, currently devoted to the study of many problems associated with food and modern lifestyles. Nutrition therefore rests on the discipline of scientific knowledge, is the fundamental basis for the understanding of the causes of the problems and possible solutions to search for them.RESUMENLa nutrición y dietética, a lo largo de la historia, han sido vistas desde dos vertientes fundamentales: como un medio para restablecer la salud y como un instrumento para prevenir la enfermedad. Desde sus orígenes la aparición de la dietética, se basó en la búsqueda del mantenimiento del equilibrio de la salud y enfermedad. Posteriormente con el surgir de la revolución científica, es la nutrición como ciencia, quien se centra en el estudio de los diferentes procesos a través de los cuales, el organismo utiliza los nutrientes ingeridos. En el desarrollo histórico de ambos conceptos el conocimiento científico, proporcionó las herramientas claves para el estudio de esta disciplina. Todos esos importantes aportes, sirvieron de base fundamental, para el desarrollo de la nutrición como disciplina científica del siglo XXI, actualmente dedicada al estudio de innumerables problemas derivados de la alimentación y estilos de vida modernos. La nutrición por lo tanto, apoyada sobre la disciplina del conocimiento científico, es la base fundamental para la compresión de las causas de los problemas y la posible búsqueda de las soluciones a los mismos.

ملخص البحث: يعرض هذا البحث موضوع  الخلود في الشعر الجاهلي، ودوره في تكوين شخصية الرجل المثال؛ إذ إن الجاهليين أرَّقَتهم مسألة الفناء، فبحثوا عن الخلود الجسدي وأدركوا أنه لا يمكن تحقيقه، وأمام رفضهم للفناء، اتضح لهم أن الخلود المعنوي هو السبيل الوحيد لبقاء الذكر بعد فناء الجسد، فعمد الرجل المثال في العصر الجاهلي إلى القيام بأفعالٍ حميدةٍ يذكره الشعراء في قصائدهم بها، ويفخر بها هو في أشعاره، كشهرة عنترة بالشجاعة، وحاتم بالكرم، والسموأل بالوفاء. ولإدراكهم أن أفعالهم تلك ستُبْقِي ذكرهم سائر العصور. توصل البحث إلى نماذج من أشعار الجاهليين، ليصل في النهاية إلى أنهم أدركوا أن خلودهم يتحقق معنوياً لا جسدياً. فيظهر لنا - من خلال الشعر – معنى الخلود ومعنى المثال، وإدراكهم لحقيقة الفناء بعد أن لمسوه في أنفسهم وفي مشاهد الطبيعة من حولهم، وطريقتهم في البحث عن الخلود المعنوي، ودور الشعر في تحقيق هذه الغاية. ثم يتبيَّنُ لنا إدراكهم أن الخلود لا يكون إلا من خلال المُثُلِ والقِيَمِ العربية التي كانوا يأتونها ويفخرون بها. الكلمات المفتاحية: الجاهلي - الشعر - الرجل - المثال - الخلود.         Abstract     The paper discusses the topic of immortality in the pre-Islamic period and its role in constructing the character of an ideal man. Since the Arabs before Islam were softened by the issue of death, they dwelled on the topic of immortality though they knew it too well its impossibility. As they rejected mortality, they realized that the abstract immortality is the only way for them to be remembered after the mortality of the body that enticed the ideal man in the pre-historic period to do commendable deeds that other poets would mention them with or he would make it as a virtue in his poems; as ‘Antarah was known for his bravery, Hatim with his generosity and Samuel with his loyalty as they realized that their deeds will be remembered for the rest of the ages. The study highlighted on a number of the Pre-Islamic poems and concluded that those poets realized that their mortality was achievable in a subtle way but not physically. This seems to us- from the poems- the meaning of immortality, idealism and their realization of the meaning of mortality from what they witnessed from the natural scenes that take place around them; the means to immortalize themselves in a subtle way and the role of poems in achieving this aim. We also learned that they themselves were fully aware that immortality is possible only through the Arabic virtues that they so proudly adhered to.   Keywords: Pre-Islamic period, Poem, Man, Ideal, Immortality     Abstrak   Makalah ini membincangkan tema keabadian hidup dalam era Jahiliah dan peranannya dalam membentuk keperibadian manusia ideal. Memandangkan bangsa Arab sebelum Islam mudah dilunakkan dengan isu kematian, mereka tetap mencanangkan tema keabadian walaupun sedar tentang kemustahilan untuk mengelaknya. Apablila mereka cuba menolak kematian, mereka menyedari bahawa keabadian secara abstrak ialah satu-satunya cara untuk mereka diingati selepas kematian dan meninggalkan legasi manusia ideal  dalam era Jahiliah ialah dengan menjadikan ingatan terhadap mereka itu ialah dengan kebaikan apa yang mereka lakukan dalam sebutan penyair-penyair lain ataupun dengan mereka sendiri menyebutnya dalam karya syair mereka sendiri. Demikianlah ‘Antarah dikenali dengan keberaniannya, Hatim dengan kemurahan hatinya, Samuel dengan kesetiaannya kerana kebaikan mereka akan dikenali sehingga bila-bila. Kajian ini menumpukan  kepada beberapa syair Jahiliah dan menyimpulkan bahawa penyair-penyair tersebut menyedari bahawa keabadian mereka boleh dicapai secara halus dan bukan secara fizikal. Kita dapat merumuskan daripada syair-syair tersebut bahawa pernyataan maksud keabadian dan idealisma serta penyerlahan maksud keabadian oleh mereka melalui apa yang mereka lihat berlaku di sekeliling mereka; cara untuk mengabadikan diri mereka ialah dengan melalui syair. Kami juga memperoleh maklumat bahawa mereka juga amat menyedari yang keabadian adalah sesuatu yang dapat dicapai melalui nilai-nilai budaya Arab yang amat mereka banggakan.   Kata kunci: Era jahiliah, Syair, Manusia, Keabadian

Crushers are one of the real size lessening gear that is utilized as a part of metallurgical, mechanical, and other comparative businesses. They exist in different sizes and limits which extend from 0.1 ton/hr. to 50 ton/hr. They can be ordered taking into account the extent to which they can piece the beginning material and the way they apply strengths. In view of the system utilized crushers are fundamentally of three sorts to be specific Cone crusher, Jaw crusher and Impact crusher. Sway crushers include the utilization of effect instead of weight to pulverize materials. Here the material is held inside of an enclosure, with openings of the coveted size at the base, end or at sides to permit squashed material to escape through them. This sort of crusher is for the most part utilized with delicate materials such as coal, seeds or delicate metallic minerals. The instrument connected here is of Impact stacking where the season of use of power is not exactly the regular recurrence of vibration of the body. Since the sledges/blow bars are pivoting at a fast, the ideal opportunity for which the particles interact with the mallets is little, thus here effect stacking is connected. The pole is thought to be subjected to torsion and bowing. The pounding screen is additionally intended for ideal yield from the crusher An execution model is likewise considered for the level shaft sway crusher to discover the connection between the food, the crusher parameters and the yield parameters.

The Ideal

Issues of national sovereignty and membership in the body politic are central to many current political and legal debates surrounding ‘New Britain’ and Europe. Traditional understandings of citizenship and belonging are grounded in the ideal of a territorially limited and defined nation state. In this article, I explore a series of judicial and political decisions surrounding the fate of Roma or Gypsies, both as claimants to refugee status in Britain, or as subjects of domestic legal controls. I argue that these decisions construct this nomadic Other as a fundamental danger and challenge to the coherence of the legally protected body politic of the nation state ‘Britain’. I argue that the deconstructive excess found in the construction of the Roma as dangerous nomads, without allegiance to a fixed and geographically delimited nation state, might contain the kernel for a possible re-imagining of the basis of our understandings of citizenship and belonging.
