El estudio de las vidrieras de la Catedral de Jaén nos lleva a establecer dos tipos: el de las translúcidas, correspondientes al gusto clasicista de los siglos XVI al XVIII, y el de las decorativas, de principios del siglo XX. Carecemos de noticias documentales acerca del pensamiento del arquitecto Andrés de Vandelvira en su proyecto original, si acorde con los programas goticistas ejecutados por entonces en otras catedrales españolas o afín a las nuevas ideas de iluminación «blanca» del Renacimiento italiano. Un estudio del inventario de bienes efectuado a su fallecimiento nos revela la posesión de dos libros del tratadista Sebastiano Serlio, quien ya apostaba por el empleo de vidrieras geométricas, no decorativas. La constatación de esta nueva estética en los continuadores de la obra de Vandelvira es evidente. Una comparación del efecto lumínico entre las vidrieras clasicistas y las historicistas nos da idea de dos concepciones abismales del tratamiento de la luz. A study of stained glasses in Jaen´s Cathedral leads us to distinguish two different types: the transparent ones, corresponding to the classicist taste from the XVI-XIX centuries on the one hand and the ornamented or stained ones, dating back from the beginning of the XX century, on the other. Unfortunately we lack information from Vandelvira´s --the main architect of the Cathedral--original project: whether it was according to the gothic prevalent ideas, which were carried out in many of the Spanish cathedrals at that time, or embraced the new ideas from the Italian Renaissance, which were in favour of a «white light» instead. A survey of the inventory of his goods, made after he died, reveals that Vandelvira was in possession of two of Sebastiano Serlio´s books on architecture. They show that Serlio was in favour of using transparent glasses.  The verification of this new aesthetic in the followers of the work of Vandelvira is evident. A comparison of the luminous effect between classicist stained-glass windows and historicist windows gives us the idea of two totally opposed conceptions of the treatment of light.

If a catalogue were made of terms commonly used to affirm the adequacy of critical interpretations of works of art, one word certain to be included would be “plausible.” Yet this term is one which has received precious little attention in the literature of aesthetics. This is odd, inasmuch as I find the notion of plausibility central to an understanding of the nature of criticism. “Plausible” is a perplexing term because it can have radically different meanings depending on the circumstances of its employment. ln the following discussion, I will make some observations about the logic of this concept in connection with its uses in two rather different contexts: the context of scientific inquiry on the one hand, and that of aesthetic interpretation on the other. In distinguishing separate senses of “plausible,” I shall provide reason to resist the temptation to imagine that because logical aspects of two different types of inquiry—science and criticism—happen to be designated by the same term, they may to that extent be considered to have similar logical structures.

AbstractRecent discussions (especially in the Internet) about the question whether Nietzsche was a Transhumanist or at least a forerunner of the Transhumanist movement have drawn new attention to Nietzsche’s concept of the Overhuman and the relation to the Posthuman. The article is taking a critical stance by turning suggested analogies between education and genetic manipulation of humans into an argument against the latter, by relating self-education to self-overcoming and eternal recurrence of the same (which is excluded by Transhumanists), and by reminding of Nietzsche’s distinction between ‘Overhuman’ and ‘last human’ as two different ways to the future. Linguistic analysis of the epitheta used in speaking of the different ‘types’ in question as well as structural analogies between critical considerations in Michael Sandel and Jürgen Habermas on the one hand, Nietzsche on the other are also evidence that Nietzsche would not have endorsed the technological path to perfection of the human but would emphasize his own way of self-overcoming instead.

Computer science and telecommunications are increasingly important in society and this leads also public administrations to take advantage of ICT, in order to communicate with citizens in a more rapid and simpler way than the complex and paper-based bureaucracy of the past. While on the one hand the use of these technologies responds to the duty of any public institution to involve the largest number of addressees, on the other hand, society must also consider the limitations of these technologies. Firstly not everybody is so familiar in their use. Moreover, the digital administration thus becomes virtual, accessible only through technological devices and not present in a physical location, and is therefore essential to ensure full coverage of the territory, which is currently not always possible. The main novelty of this paper is the implementation of an automated system capable of adapting different types of government services to multiple communication media. The joint exploitation of multiple technologies allows to use the strengths of one of them when are found the limits of another, making this multichannel modality the solution to the requirement of ICT in public administration.

O regresso de Pessoa às fontes clássicas seguiu duas direções, que neste artigo procuro identificar e analisar. De um lado, foi uma das bases de suas utopias estéticas e políticas, que expressou através de revistas, movimentos e profecias de regeneração; de outro, é relevante na produção do seu heterônimo Ricardo Reis, quem, em pleno século XX, recupera nas Odes os moldes formais e os temas de Horácio. Resumen El regreso a las fuentes clásicas que Pessoa impulsó siguió dos direcciones, que en este artículo intento identificar y analizar. Por un lado, fue una de las bases de sus utopías estéticas y políticas, que expresó a través de revistas, movimientos y profecías de regeneración; por otro, es fundamental en la producción de su heterónimo Ricardo Reis, quien, en pleno siglo XX, recupera en sus Odes los moldes formales y temáticos de Horacio. Classical tradition in Fernando Pessoa’s works Abstract This article attempts to identify and analyze the influence of classical tradition in Pessoa in two ways. On the one hand, it functions as one of the bases for his aesthetic and political utopias revealed in magazines, movements, and regeneration prophecies. On the other, it is relevant to the production under the pseudonym Ricardo Reis who, in the 20th century, restores the formal models and Horace’s themes through the Odes.

The Relationship

This paper presents data and observations concerning Chamaedaphne calyculata (L.) Moench. (Ericaceae). The branching pattern, the longevity of different types of leaves, and features of flowering are shown to be correlated. The relationship between this complex of features and the habitat is studied, and a few speculations are advanced to explain the physiological basis for the behavior of Chamaedaphne. This study is essentially autecological, and it is hoped that it may constitute a link between the study of soil conditions and the response of plant hormones on the one hand, and phytosociological work in peat bogs on the other hand.

AbstractWe consider the Bayesian over-dispersed Poisson (ODP) model for claims reserving in general insurance. We choose two different types of prior distributions for the parameters and then study the different Bayesian predictors. This study leads, on the one hand, to the classical chain ladder predictor and, on the other hand, to Bornhuetter & Ferguson predictors. We highlight (either analytically or numerically) how these predictors are obtained and how their prediction uncertainty can be determined.

In modern science, the theory of probability is one of the basic tools. Scientists using probability often refer to its objective interpretation. They emphasize that their probabilistic hypotheses concern objective facts, not degrees of belief. Accordingly, the following questions arise: What is the meaning of this type of probabilistic hypothesis? Is the assumption of objectivity necessary? The paper addresses these questions by analyzing objective probability in the context of the scientific debate on determinism. Two types of arguments will be presented. On the one hand, there is the assertion that objective probability can exist only in an indeterministic world. Then, on the other hand — I analyze the assertions of those who believe in the co‑existence of objective probability and determinism. As a result I show that the acceptance of deterministic and indeterministic fields as possible areas where objective probability can occur is extremely problematic. Depending on the chosen area we encounter different types of problems. Therefore, I show that a significant number of these problems are associated with the acceptance of incorrect metaphysical assumptions. And finally, I postulate that the objectivity of probability (and assumptions pertaining to it) can be reduced (without any losses) to the epistemic variant.

In the present work, in the light of the reading of the philosopher Santiago Castro-Gómez, we will try to elucidate his theory about the coloniality of power and the way in which such a device codified the bodies according to the discourse of blood cleansing. So, first, we will briefly develop two different types of theories about power: on the one hand, the theory of the coloniality of power, presented by the Peruvian sociologist Aníbal Quijano; on the other hand, the analytics of power, developed by Michel Foucault. Both theories, which seem incommensurable, are put into dialogue by our philosopher. In the second part of our work, we will prepare to present the practices and modus operandi corresponding to the coloniality of power to manifest its uniqueness in comparison to other types of powers. Likewise, we will show how a certain sector of the population, in an attempt to consolidate their family and personal interests, used these practices to limit corporality. Third, and by way of conclusion, we will make a brief sketch about the link between the coloniality of power and the political practices of current Colombia.

For centuries the role of the library was defined as a warehouse of books. Now, in the 21st century, the library is facing perhaps the biggest challenge – its physical survival. The role of librarians is re-branded to reflect their expertise as curators of content and reliable navigators in an evergrowing ocean of information - in any format they might exist. The future libraries shall be open to all the new ideas on how to work better and accept the new technologies. On the one hand, they must recognize the need to change their methods, but on the other hand - to preserve the continuity of their objectives and mission. The new era requires modern models of learning and the attractiveness of the curricula, that is, a modern education system that shall adapt the curricula to the needs of modern society and reconcile centuries of man's need for knowledge, reading books and education in general with the new technologies.
