This article reviews the subject of the Soret effect and Thermodiffusion in solids more generally. In doing so it draws upon computer simulations made with a method (the Grout-Gillan method) derived from the Green-Kubo approach to transport coefficients in solids. The insights into the make-up of heats of transport parameters, Q*, so obtained are described and used to provide additional insight into measured heats of transport in situations where no reliable theories or simulations exist. These insights also point to the relations between heats of transport on the one hand and phonon thermal conductivity and focussed collision sequences on the other. These relations point to circumstances where the heat of transport may be small (e.g. low coordination in the lattice) or can be estimated from heats of activation for atom movements. In other cases the Grout-Gillan simulation method may offer the most reliable approach. These new insights are expected to be useful in materials modelling.

Setting aside paradoxical linkages such as Bennett’s, Bricard’s or Goldberg’s, the mobility of single loop linkages seemed, with the developments on mobility analysis carried out in the last five years, a closed chapter in kinematic research. However, recent developments on the mobility of parallel platforms have shed additional insight into the problem. This contribution attempts to unify the results obtained in the last five years in the area of mobility of single-loop kinematic chains to state what appears to be a final word on the subject.

Abstract Low labour costs as one of the key sources of export stimulation, the competitive advantage of domestic agricultural production and bilateral agreements with partner countries - all promote export as a potentially significant factor of encouragement of economic development of the Republic of Serbia.Taking into account this fact, on the one hand, and balance of payments problems that Serbia has been facing over the years, on the other hand, the subject of this paper is an analysis of trends in the Republic of Serbia export and explanation of variations in the export trends during the period from 2004 to 2014. The aim of the paper is to explore export trends forecast from January to December 2015.The analysis uses Holt-Winters and ARIMA methods for analyszing time series.The paper provides insight into the export trend forecasts for the period of 12 months, and thus confirms the possibility of practical usage of the time series analysis methods in forecasting macroeconomic variables such as export. The used methods identify increase of export during the summer and its decrease after October 2015. The paper establishes the existence of a high degree of congruence between forecasts obtained by using two methods, which confirm a high quality of the elaborated methods in the analysis of exports.

<p>One of the important obligations of an expanding research area is to discuss how to approach the teaching of the subject. Without this discussion, we may find that the word is not spread properly, and thus that the results are not properly utilized in in dustry. Furthermore, discussing teaching the research area gives additional insight into the research area and its underlying theoretical foundation. In this paper we will report on our approach to teaching programming languages as a whole and especially teaching object-oriented programming.</p><p>The prime message to be told is that working from a theoretical foundation pays off. Without a theoretical foundation, the discussions are often centered around features of different languages. With a foundation, discussions may be conducted on solid ground. Furthermore, the students have significantly fewer difficulties in grasping the concrete programming languages when they have been presented with the theoretical foundation than without it.</p>

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study addresses Lacan's comments on Marx. While much has been done towards reading Marx with psychoanalysis generally, little had has been done to unpack the meaning and extent of Lacan's own statements on Marx. For example, while Lacanian Marxists like Slavoj Zizek have wielded Lacan to great effect in a critique of post-structuralism, they have neglected the full meaning and complexity of Lacan's own stance. What is argued thereby is that Zizek not only omits the discrete knowledge within Lacan's commentary, but misses what I describe as a Lacan's theory of the social. On the one hand, it is commonly known in Lacanian thought that discourse is responsible for making the subject. On the other hand, what is less known is that Lacan defined discourse as that which makes a social link which, in contrast with Marxist thought, introduces a certain affect and materialism premised on discourse itself, commonly known, but also for providing the underlying strata of topology (namely, paradox) requisite for making any social link between subjects. Although less commonly known, we can nevertheless gain new insight into Marx. On the one hand, Lacan concedes Marx's underlying structuralism. On the other hand, Marx fails to see the true source of discourse's origins, the real itself, and consequently fails to see the true efficacy of discourse. He fails to see how discourse, although negative, stands as entirely positive and material in its distinctive effects. Discourse negotiates subjects and their inimitable objects of desire in this singularity itself. This is where true production lies; it is that which precedes any social or economic theory, which are otherwise premised on reality. Lacan rejects reality.

This chapter explores British delinquency films. The phrase ‘juvenile delinquent’ has been used to describe criminal children since the mid-nineteenth century. Although an endlessly prescient and emotive area, the subject of the juvenile delinquent represents both continuity and change for British society and cinema — on the one hand offering an ever present folk devil and barometer for social mores and, on the other, lending a constantly evolving image that forever allies itself to other problems. It also offers special insight into how successive generations view themselves and their successors. The first manifestation of the juvenile delinquent in British films could be thought to be characters such as Pinkie Brown in Brighton Rock (2010) or Ted Peters in Dancing with Crime (1947). However, it would not be until the 1950s and 1960s that the British juvenile delinquent made a full appearance on film and then it would always be under the watchful eyes of a responsible adult. The chapter then considers Lewis Gilbert's Cosh Boy (1953) and Basil Dearden's Violent Playground (1958), as well as the films Scum (1979), Made in Britain (1982), and Scrubbers (1983).

The case which forms the subject of this paper presents no rare or unusual features, being of quite an ordinary type such as one may meet with every day. Its relative freedom from complexity is the feature which makes it especially suitable for analysis. The delusional formation was strictly localised and showed no tendency to spread into other fields, and but for the one morbid theme the patient could be regarded as normal. It is from the less complex forms of mental disturbance that one may hope to obtain the most insight into the development of abnormal mental processes, and it is for this reason that the case which I am about to bring to your notice has been chosen for consideration.

Insight Into

The case of Gwao bin Kilimo v. Kisunda bin Ifuti decided by the colonial courts of the then Tanganyika has always held a certain fascination for those interested in the process of law under colonial rule. This is for a variety of reasons. The case seems to put into sharp focus the conflict between the imposed common law system and the indigenous customary law. This in turn stimulates questions as to the social values that lay, and probably still lie, behind the two systems and the extent to which those values reflect actual differences between the societies in which they developed. Since the conflict arose in a colonial context, the case also raises the question of the rôle of law in such a society and therefore, to some extent, the rôle of law in relation to ideology and political economy in this and in other contexts also. What is less well known is that the case was the subject of comment by colonial administrative officers at the time, comments which point up many of the issues involved and provide some insight into the different perceptions of African society on the part of administrative officers on the one hand and the judiciary on the other.

Het historische debat over de collaboratie van de Vlaamse beweging tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog bleef lang verstoord door moralistische en politieke argumenten, wat het inzicht in de historische complexiteit van het onderwerp vaak versluierde. De voorbije decennia is echter ook op dit terrein een uitgesproken verwetenschappelijking merkbaar. Dat maakt het boek Verbrande schrijvers, een nieuwe bundeling opstellen over flamingantische schrijvers tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog, zo opmerkelijk. Enerzijds doet Marnix Beyen daarin een veelbelovend voorstel om een nieuw onderzoeksparadigma op dit terrein te introduceren. Anderzijds getuigen de inleiding en enkele cruciale bijdragen van een ingesteldheid die moeilijk te rijmen is met de academische presentatie van het boek. Die vallen niet alleen op door een opvallend gebrek aan wetenschappelijke rigueur en van weinig kennis van zaken. Ze getuigen vooral van een ‘neonationalistische’ bevlogenheid die de historiografie over dit onderwerp opnieuw in haar oude zwakten doet hervallen: moralisme en politieke vooringenomenheid.________A burning smell surrounding collaborationist authors: Old and new arguments for justification in the debate about Flemish collaborationThe historical debate about the collaboration of the Flemish Movement during the Second World War has long been perturbed by moralistic and political arguments, which often obscured the insight into the historical complexity of the subject. However, during the past decades a distinctly more scientific approach may be noted in this area as well. That is why the book Verbrande schrijvers, a new collection of articles about authors supporting the Flemish Movement during the Second World War is so remarkable. On the one hand, Marnix Beyen proposes in this book the introduction of a very promising research paradigm in this area. On the other hand, the introduction and several crucial contributions manifest a mentality that is hardly consonant with the academic presentation of the book. They are noteworthy not only because of a notable lack of scientific consistency and a lack of expertise. They particularly manifest a ‘neo-nationalist’ enthusiasm that causes the historiography about this subject to fall prey again to its old weaknesses: moralism and political bias.

Shed Light

Lesslie Newbigin’s book Foolishness to the Greeks: The Gospel and Western Culture opens with an interesting observation. On the one hand, the relationship between the gospel and culture is not a new subject. One thinks, for example, of the classic study of H. Richard Niebuhr who proposed five models of the relation of Christ to culture, and of work of Paul Tillich who struggled toward, what he called, a ‘theology of culture’ (Niebuhr 1951; Tillich 1959). However, the majority of work has been done by scholars who have not had the missionary experience of communicating the gospel to a radically foreign culture. On the other hand, the last three decades have witnessed a spate of studies on the issue of gospel and culture within the discipline of missiology under the general rubric ‘contextualization studies.’1 Missionaries have become more aware of the western captivity of the gospel and have struggled fruitfully with the issues of gospel and culture, and gospel and cultures. Yet while “it has sought to explore the problems of contextualization in all the cultures of humankind from China to Peru, it has largely ignored the culture that is the most widespread, powerful, and persuasive among all contemporary cultures — namely . . . modern Western culture” (Newbigin 1986:2-3). To put Newbigin’s observation another way, the missionary experience and tradition has gained penetrating insight into the issues of gospel and culture, and gospel and cultures but this tradition has not been appropriated in mainstream western scholarship to shed light on the subject of gospel and culture, and more particularly on the relationship between the gospel and western culture. To my way of thinking, this is a great loss because the missionary experience of cross-cultural witness offers important insight into the gospel-culture relation.
