XIII. THE THEORY OF THE ABSOLUTE FINITUDE OF THE WORLD AND OF SPACE – THE ASSUMPTION OF AN ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM OF MATERIAL EXISTENCE AS A NECESSARY COMPLEMENT TO THE ASSUMPTION OF THE ATOM AS ITS ABSOLUTE MINIMUM – ONTOLOGY IN MATHEMATICS – THE REIFICATION OF SPACE – MODERN TRANSCENDENTAL GEOMETRY – NON-HOMALOIDAL (SPHERICAL AND PSEUDO–SPHERICAL) SPACE

The finite element formulation for regular cylindrical bearings is extended to include irregular (noncylindrical) bearing surfaces. The optimum bearing shape is sought for a specific duty cycle with a constant load and sinusoidal angular displacement. The optimization is done with a view to maximizing the minimum film thickness. For the purpose of optimization a one-dimensional cylindrical bearing is considered. The optimum among all elliptical shapes is found to combine a specifically elliptical sleeve and a perfectly circular journal. For this optimum noncylindrical bearing the absolute minimum film thickness is about a factor of 36 higher than that for the corresponding regular bearing. The absolute maximum pressure for the optimum bearing is about a factor of 5 lower than that for the regular bearing.

O trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar as variabilidades climáticas no município de Patos – PB, enfocando tais variações como um meio para compreender futuras mudanças. Para realização deste trabalho utilizou-se dados de temperatura máxima do ar, umidade relativa do ar e totais pluviométricos mensais e anuais no período de 1994 a 2012, da Estação Meteorológica do INMET na cidade de Patos. Como resultado pode-se afirmar que a temperatura do ar máxima anual demonstrou grande variação entre o período estudado, a temperatura máxima absoluta foi incrementada de 7% e a temperatura mínima absoluta sofreu uma redução de 10, podendo acarretar vários problemas socioeconômico, bem como, para a saúde humana. A partir dos dados, verifica-se, também, que a umidade relativa do ar está sendo incrementado ao longo da série estudada, fato que pode estar relacionado com o aumento da temperatura e consequentemente com uma maior evaporação das águas. Sobre os totais pluviométricos anuais, nota-se que os valores estão aumentando gradativamente, sendo que esse aumento pode estar relacionado com o aumento da temperatura, que faz com que se tenha uma maior evaporação e consequentemente uma maior precipitação.Climate variability for Patos city, Paraíba state, BrazilAbstract: The study aims to assess climate variability in Patos – PB city, focusing on such variations as a means to understand future changes. For this work we used maximum air temperature data, relative humidity and total monthly and annual rainfall from 1994 to 2012, the INMET Meteorological Station in Patos city. As a result one can be said that the temperature of maximum annual air showed great variation between the study period, the absolute maximum temperature was increased from 7% and the absolute minimum temperature was reduced by 10, which may cause various socio-economic problems as well as to human health. From the data, it appears also that the relative air humidity being incremented along the series studied, which can be related to the temperature rise and consequently with a greater evaporation of water. On the annual rainfall totals, note that the values are gradually increasing, and this increase may be related to the temperature increase, which makes it has a higher evaporation and hence greater rainfall.

Here we present a single working model that attempts at reconciliation of biological systems. To do this we recognize and emphasize a universal theme of all biological systems: a need for resources. That is, we consider the dynamics of resource allocation as a requirement for actuation of responses to stimuli. In addition, all contemplations are founded on four postulates that are motivated by the homeostatic principle as conceived of by Claude Bernard and Walter Cannon: biological systems exhaust attempts to prevent from reaching the absolute maximum failure potential; biological systems tend in the direction toward the absolute minimum failure potential; biological systems attempt to assume the failure potential of an ideal regulator system; and all biological systems attempt to be in agreement with all four postulates. Finally, we attempt to determine biological manifestations of the stated model.

Considerando que a distribuição das florestas urbanas e o zoneamento do uso do solo influenciam o clima local da cidade de Curitiba, este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o efeito desses fatores na variação temporal e espacial da temperatura do ar nessa cidade. Os dados de temperatura foram coletados em quatro campanhas em períodos correspondentes às estações do ano em 2011, em 44 pontos de monitoramento em quatro transectos na malha urbana da cidade, por meio de miniabrigos meteorológicos com registradores modelo Hobo®. Nos quatro transectos, foram observadas diferenças térmicas entre os pontos de monitoramento nos períodos analisados. Para a temperatura máxima absoluta, as diferenças foram de até 5,8 ºC no transecto sudoeste-nordeste, e para a temperatura mínima absoluta, de 4,6 ºC no transecto noroeste-sudeste. Mesmo nas estações do ano de mais baixas temperaturas, outono e inverno, foram encontradas diferenças térmicas, relacionadas ao calor antropogênico. As maiores temperaturas foram encontradas nos locais com maior intensidade de ocupação e atividades antrópicas, porém não nas áreas mais verticalizadas, enquanto as menores temperaturas foram encontradas nas regiões com maior quantidade de áreas permeáveis, concentração de remanescentes florestais ou espaços verdes públicos, confirmando a influência da densidade de construção e da presença de vegetação na variação das temperaturas na cidade de Curitiba.Palavras-chave: Clima urbano; temperatura do ar; florestas urbanas; classes de densidade de ocupação. AbstractEffects of vegetation on thermal intra-urban variation of Curitiba - PR. Whereas the distribution of urban forests and zoning land use influence the climate of Curitiba city, this research aimed to analyze the effect of this factors in temporal and spatial variation of air temperature in this town. Temperature data were collected in four campaigns in periods corresponding to the seasons of the year in 2011, in 44 monitoring points in four transects in the urban mesh by mini-shields meteorological model with Hobo® loggers. In the four transects were found differences between the thermal monitoring points in the analyzed periods. For the absolute maximum temperature, differences were up to 5.8 ºC in the northeast-southwest transect and the absolute minimum temperature of 4.6 ºC in the northeast-southwest transect. Even in seasons of lower temperatures, autumn and winter, thermal differences were related to anthropogenic heat. The highest temperatures were found in the regions with greater intensity of occupation and human activities, however not in the areas with verticalization, while the lowest temperatures were observed in regions with higher permeable areas, concentration of remaining forest and public green spaces. As result, it confirms the influence of building density and the presence of vegetation in the variation of temperature in the city of Curitiba.Keywords: Urban climate; air temperature; urban forestry; class occupation density.

End Of The World

In several late texts, Derrida meditated on Paul Celan's poem ‘Grosse, Glühende Wölbung’, in which the departure of the world is announced. Delving into the ‘origin’ and ‘history’ of the ‘conception’ of the world, this paper suggests that, for Derrida, the end of the world is determined by and from death—the death of the other. The death of the other marks, each and every time, the absolute end of the world.

Property is one of the most important instruments in this life, because wealth is as a support for the continuity of human life, in Islam it is always emphasized the importance of independence in owning property through work or business, because Allah really loves his servant who is always giving alms with his own property. Allah Almighty really likes hard workers or people who are persistent in seeking treasure for the sake of the afterlife, even Allah SWT emphasizes in Surah at-taubah father 10. And Say: "Work for you, Then Allah and His Messenger and the believers will see your work, and you will be returned to (Allah) who knows the unseen and the real, then He tells you what you have done. Even the Companions of the Messenger of Allāh adalah were rich people who possessed wealth for the progress and development of Islam at the time, a very real example was the Friends of Abu Bakr, Abdurrah bin ʻAuf, Uthman ibn Affan and the Wife of the Messenger of Allāh adalah was a great entrepreneur, Siti Khadijah. They are friends looking for wealth and have it as much as possible then after that they distribute their wealth through ZISWAF, it is obligatory and must for Muslims to seek / have property for the benefit of the world and the hereafter and the interests of Muslims and provision in the hereafter Can be concluded that ownership of property in Islam it is very important because it is a means of sustaining life and as a place to find savings for ukhrawi life later, because indeed ownership of property in Islam is not only focused on worldly matters, but there are two elements that are always included, namely for worldly and spiritual interests. It should be underlined in the ownership of the property that the principle must be instilled that this property has the absolute God Almighty, we are only temporarily entrusted, therefore it is not beautiful to not distribute the assets we have to people in need through ZISWAF instruments.

Existential Problem

This articles describes the “neuronal crisis,” the epidemic of psychosomatic illnesses observed all over the world, particularly in the West. The paper looks into the deeper real causes and seeks the most effective kind of cure for this malady. This leads to rational consideration of the metaphysical dimension of the human being and the fundamental problems (those of evil, of freedom, of God, of the soul, and of the body), where lack of sufficiency plays a major part in the etiology of these pathologies, as the desire for the Absolute is the basis of the unconscious. This approach presumes the Freudian model but denies its purely libidinal interpretation that substitutes desire for the Absolute with libido. Hence, an explanatory system applied to increasingly serious pathologies: ailments, neuroses, depressions, and psychoses. Frustration of one’s desire for the Good gives rise to a sublimation of finite goodness. The inevitable desublimation, caused by anguish because of the Evil, intense guilt, and the dramatization of evils, causes neuroses as awkward but inevitable solutions to the existential problem that is still unresolved, due to lack of functional and experimental knowledge. Psychiatry and even medicine must take into account the metaphysical layer, and, therefore, operate within an existential dynamic, aiming to progress in wisdom and to discover man, man’s brain and body, as these are structured around the axis of his desire.

Background: As of August 2021, every region of the world has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with more than 196,000,000 cases worldwide. Methods: We analysed COVID-19 cases among travellers from mainland China to different regions and countries, comparing the region- and country-specific rates of detected and confirmed cases per flight volume to estimate the relative sensitivity of surveillance in different regions and countries. Results: Although travel restrictions from Wuhan City and other cities across China may have reduced the absolute number of travellers to and from China, we estimated that up to 70% (95% CI: 54% - 80%) of imported cases could remain undetected relative to the sensitivity of surveillance in Singapore. The percentage of undetected imported cases rises to 75% (95% CI 66% - 82%) when comparing to the surveillance sensitivity in multiple countries. Conclusions: Our analysis shows that a large number of COVID-19 cases remain undetected across the world. These undetected cases potentially resulted in multiple chains of human-to-human transmission outside mainland China.
