Symbolic politics has been one of the key phrases in Italian feminism since the 1970s. This text describes the historical origins and significance of this concept together with the difference in the use of the symbolic dimension in traditional male politics. The most important difference is that female politics are born from living and affective relations which cannot be permanently established and rotate around non-formalized procedural practices. The sense that emerges is felt during the actual process and the symbolic is therefore experienced and transformed from the inside with the authority that comes from these practices, which influence and modify each other due to their closeness. They spread by proximity.

The dynamical aspects of single channel gating can be modelled by a Markov renewal process, with states aggregated into two classes corresponding to the receptor channel being open or closed, and with brief sojourns in either class not detected. This paper is concerned with the relation between the amount of time, for a given record, in which the channel appears to be open compared to the amount in which it is actually open and the difference in their proportions; this may be used to obtain information on the unobserved actual process from the observed one. Results, with extensions, on exponential families have been applied to obtain relevant generating functions and asymptotic normal distributions, including explicit forms for the parameters. Numerical results are given as illustration in special cases.

A problem is typically defined prior to an architectural process and the result is seen as a solution. The process as a whole is conceived as problem solving. However, the artistic element of the process is inseparable from constructing the problem. From the artistic point of view the solution is merely a derivative. Conventional understanding of artistic creation is sometimes coloured by the misconception that invention first and foremost takes place in the mind of the artist parallel or prior to the actual process. However, as far as the artistic element in an architectural process is concerned the problem cannot be abstracted from the specificity of the material, the drawings, models etc., which constitutes the project under development. The problem is an immanent relational field and invention is triggered by the difference between maker and architectural media. The aim of the paper is to portray the artistic practice as a learning process different from communication of knowledge. It proposes a kind of leaning not about improvement of skills and competences but rather concerned with the dynamics of a material field. It emphasises the role of technique and presents architectural media as the prime material field investigated by the process. The discussion uses examples of assignments and student projects developed under my supervision to demonstrate how a problem field is framed by the ordering of techniques.

Background: Prioritizing problem-oriented undergraduate medical education is paramount to adequate management of pain in real life scenarios. The present research was conducted with an attempt to explore the important baseline information for pain medicine education and evaluation within undergraduate pharmacology curricula in Bangladesh. Materials and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study evaluates the curriculum (pharmacology portion of undergraduate medical curriculum), and written question (SAQ) of MBBS Examination of last ten years extending from January 2010 to November,2019 of all 7 universities offering MBBS degree. The evaluation was conducted through searching certain key phrases. Result: In Pharmacology & Therapeutics portion of the curriculum, only 4 hours and 2 hours are allocated to discuss pain management in lecture and tutorial respectively. In the study period, average marks allocated in pharmacology written question papers was 4.4 (SD = 2.7) and the difference among studied universities was not significant (p value 0.7). Conclusion: Allocated time in the curricula to teach pain management is very low and weightage received in assessment is also inadequate. Education on pain medication as well as management should receive more emphasis.

Artiklen fremstiller en kommunikativ planteori, hvori borgernes magt anskues som en ressource, der fremmer langsigtethed i modsætning til kortsigtede investorinteresser i den offentlige planlægning. Først skitseres tre overordnede planparadigmer – traditionel synoptisk, inkrementel og deltagerorienteret planlægning. Hertil føjes en kritisk diskussion af forskellige teorier inden for det sidstnævnte. I lyset heraf hævdes det, at planlæggende myndigheder oftest ser borgerdeltagelsen som et problem frem for et potentiale. Artiklen gør op med et sådant syn og bestemmer a) planbegrebet ud fra en habermasiansk teori om den kommunikative handlen og magt, b) viser, at borgernes deltagelse er nødvendig for at sikre de etiske og æstetiske rationaliteters inddragelse i planprocessen, og c) at borgerne kan udgøre en modmagt til kortsigtede investorinteresser i planlægningen, ved d) at styrke hensynet til langsigtede løsninger og almene goder. Derved bliver kommunikativ planlægning en alternativ position hvad angår magt. Dette ses som en strukturel nødvendighed til sikring af bæredygtighed og demokratisk retfærdighed i planlægningen. Artiklen begrebsliggør forskellen på planlægning og politik og viser, hvorfor magt må begribes forskelligt i de to tilfælde, da magt i det førstnævnte konstitueres i den aktuelle proces og ikke er givet på forhånd. Det gør det muligt for borgerne at påvirke planprocessen på en meget mere direkte facon. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Bo Elling: Citizens as a Counter Power in Planning This article presents a theory of communicative planning in which citizens’ power is conceived of as a resource in long-term planning as opposed to the short-term interests of investors in public planning. Its point of departure is the presentation of three planning paradigms – traditional synoptic, incremental and participatory planning. There is also a critical discussion of different theories of the latter paradigm. The article argues that planning authorities often regard public participation as a problem rather than a potential. The article dismisses this conception and a) conceptualizes planning on the basis of Habermas’ theory of communicative action and power, b) shows that the participation of citizens is necessary to secure the inclusion of ethical and aesthetic rationalities in the planning process, c) shows how citizens may constitute a counter power to short-term investor interests in planning by d) strengthening the respect for long-term solutions and the common good. In this way, communicative planning is an alternative position on power. This becomes a structural necessity when it comes to securing sustainability and democratic justice in planning. With this in mind, the article conceptualizes the difference between planning and politics, and shows why power should be thought of differently in the two, since in the former, power is constituted in the actual process, not given in advance. This makes it possible for citizens to influence the planning process in a much more direct way. Keywords: citizens participation, communicative rationality, planning actions, citizens power, legitimacy.

Latent semantic indexing (LSI) is becoming more and more popular in copywriting, gradually replacing texts written on the principles of SEO. LSI was called in the 2010s, when popular search engines switched to a qualitatively new way of ranking materials and sites. The difference between SEO and LSI ways of creation lies in the fact that search engines rank SEO materials by keywords, while LSI are ranked how fully the topic is covered and how useful the article will be to the reader. Consequently, in addition to keywords and phrases, the associative core is involved here. Materials written for people have replaced the texts created for the search engine. The article describes the algorithm for creation of the associative and thematic core, the ways in which this can be done. The basic steps helping to create an LSI text are also shown.The author underlines that due to the specificity of the presentation of a significant amount of information and the maximum expertise in the disclosure of the topic, text writers accustomed to working on the principles of SEO have to learn to write within a new paradigm. The owners of the websites that host articles created by LSI principles have discovered the advantages of this way of presenting information, since their resources have become better indexed and take the leading positions in search results. Such algorithms as “Baden-Baden”, “Korolev” and “Panda” have positively influenced the Internet environment as a whole, since re-optimized texts, which were filled with keys and were of little use to the reader, now have turned out to be on the last positions of issue. The new method of ranking according to the LSI method allows specialists to create the texts that are not only useful and expert but also differ in lexical richness, using expressive and figurative means of the language, which could not be assumed in SEO materials.It is highlighted in the article the use of neural networks should bring the way of presenting information to the consumer’s needs even more, inventing techniques that will allow leading materials created in an ordinary language to lead the positions without the need to incorporate key phrases into the text. We believe that the LSI-method, which has perfectly manifested itself in copywriting, is capable of unlocking the potential of the media texts, which are now being written on the principles of SEO.

Our greatest blessings come to us through madness, Plato tells us in Phaedrus 244 A, and his examination of this particular form of madness has had a commanding influence in the history of Western philosophy and literature. The Symposium, which is the major concern of this paper, is one of Plato’s most ironic and yet most serious dialogues and has been repeatedly reinterpreted and repeatedly used as a source of inspiration and ideas from ancient times up until the 20th century. Some of its key phrases are echoed by the neo-Platonists, and its combination of the erotic and the mystical provided a fertile soil for the development of the Christian idea of love, despite the existence of a rival notion of love within Christianity, designated by the term agape. The classic attempt to distinguish between Christian and Platonic love was made by Nygren in his book, Eros and Agape, and this author draws a distinction between the two with glaring simplicity. Agape is (on this view) the quality of caritas, of feeling that bond with one’s fellow man which causes one to attend to his needs and wants, whilst eros is the more self-centred drive for personal fulfilment. The Patristic writers did not feel the difference between the two to be as decisive as that outlined by Nygren, and as John Rist notes in his Eros and Psyche, Origen was one Christian writer who failed to observe the sharpness of the distinction between them. It is not my intention however to dwell on this distinction, since the original Christian notion of love is more a matter of behavioural than philosophical or literary significance. However the debate is instructive since it tends to produce caricatures on both sides, with Christian love losing its mystical aspect, and Platonic love losing the emphasis on self-transcendence. In fact it is arguable that Platonic love is more concerned with need and lack, than it is with self-indulgence and with wallowing in some romantic vision, and this paper will argue that the idea of love as ‘lack’ is a most important, yet often overlooked ingredient, in the account of love which is given by Plato and Plotinus.

The difference between average densities of the Moon and Earth was interpreted in the preceding report by Professor H. Urey as indicating a difference in their chemical composition. Therefore, Urey assumes the Moon's formation to have taken place far away from the Earth, under conditions differing substantially from the conditions of Earth's formation. In such a case, the Earth should have captured the Moon. As is admitted by Professor Urey himself, such a capture is a very improbable event. In addition, an assumption that the “lunar” dimensions were representative of protoplanetary bodies in the entire solar system encounters great difficulties.

AbstractThe oldest cell-like structures on Earth are preserved in silicified lagoonal, shallow sea or hydrothermal sediments, such as some Archean formations in Western Australia and South Africa. Previous studies concentrated on the search for organic fossils in Archean rocks. Observations of silicified bacteria (as silica minerals) are scarce for both the Precambrian and the Phanerozoic, but reports of mineral bacteria finds, in general, are increasing. The problems associated with the identification of authentic fossil bacteria and, if possible, closer identification of bacteria type can, in part, be overcome by experimental fossilisation studies. These have shown that not all bacteria fossilise in the same way and, indeed, some seem to be very resistent to fossilisation. This paper deals with a transmission electron microscope investigation of the silicification of four species of bacteria commonly found in the environment. The Gram positiveBacillus laterosporusand its spore produced a robust, durable crust upon silicification, whereas the Gram negativePseudomonas fluorescens, Ps. vesicularis, andPs. acidovoranspresented delicately preserved walls. The greater amount of peptidoglycan, containing abundant metal cation binding sites, in the cell wall of the Gram positive bacterium, probably accounts for the difference in the mode of fossilisation. The Gram positive bacteria are, therefore, probably most likely to be preserved in the terrestrial and extraterrestrial rock record.

AbstractThe interrelationship of half-widths and intensities for the red, green and yellow lines is considered. This is a direct relationship for the green and yellow line and an inverse one for the red line. The difference in the relationships of half-widths and intensities for different lines appears to be due to substantially dissimilar structuring and to a set of line-of-sight motions in ”hot“ and ”cold“ corona regions.When diagnosing the coronal plasma, one cannot neglect the filling factor - each line has such a factor of its own.
