succession

Does new always mean the best? Throughout the last century people had been actively trying to invent and build a new world. A world without old or obsolete things. The end of the millennium gave rise to an illusion that all achievements, disasters and confrontations of the previous ten centuries were left behind. But the new century has already brought so drastic changes that the attitude toward the past is no longer the same. The larger the wave of the new becomes, the more precious looks the succession, or the continuity of the past in the present.Is it pure coincidence that the English words “succession” and “success” have the same root? The Ise Shrine in Japan is rebuilt every 20 years because two previous generations of craftsmen are still alive at the time of each reconstruction. The tradition does not change. The technology, the aesthetic principles, the manner of understanding and feeling of beauty are passed from hand to hand.We have frequently referred to the period of creative rise in the middle of the last century, to the phenomenon of the “sixtiers”. Like the modernism itself, Siberian brutalism opposed the classical cannons, but today its audacious large-scale solutions look like a direct continuation of the centuries-old development of architecture. Today’s rebirth of interest in brutalism is not accidental. We believe in its recovery, of course, on a new level of comprehension and in new forms.Indeed, if the main function of the state in the 21st century is to provide conditions for human self-realisation with the use of cultural and historical identity, it is time to speak about SUCCESSION.

WYKORZYSTANIE WZORCÓW POŚREDNICH DO BUDOWY MIERNIKÓW SYNTETYCZNYCH

The work is a direct continuation of the series of authors articles concerning the construction of new indicators of classification. In the present paper, a manner of classification of objects which is based on three model objects is proposed. An example of the actual distribution of a bonus fund among business units in a large corporation demonstrates the usefulness of such an approach. Studies have shown that this method is very useful for organizing and grouping objects.

Magnus Barefoot — the Last Viking King of Norway?

In common opinion, Harald Hardrada’s death in the battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066 is perceived as a symbolic end of the Viking Age. However, that moment could be moved to 24 August 1103, when, after ten years of his reign in Norway, Harald’s grandson, Magnus dies in an ambush in Ulster. Some of Old Norse records that describe Magnus’s reign compare both rulers and depict Magnus as the true and determined follower of his grandfather. For that reason it is not surprising that the circumstances of Magnus’s death are often shown as the fullest manifestation of that picture, including both its positive and negative facets. The king of Norway appears to be deeply interested in making his reign perceived as a direct continuation of Harald Hadrada’s times. That tendency concerns not only his political actions in general, but also the area of propaganda. The latter was in turn dominated by skalds composing for the king.

UNEXUP: robot-based exploration technology for underground flooded mines

UNEXUP is a direct continuation of the UNEXMIN project. In UNEXMIN efforts were made towards the design, development and testing of a robotic exploration technology for underground flooded mines, with navigational and geoscientific instruments. In UNEXUP the main goal is to raise commercial interest and improve the system's hardware, software and capabilities. The UX-1 NEO, to be developed and tested in 2020, will address the limitations detected during UNEXMIN field missions, and will meet the needs and requirements from mining companies, geological surveys and other potential customers. In addition, a new robot will be built and added to the system, to be ready in 2021, which will open further mineral exploration possibilities.

Spanish quepo: the untold story

The pres. ind. paradigm of Sp. caber ‘to fit’ exhibits a synchronically irregular form in the 1st pers. sg., i.e., quepo, instead of a synchronically regular form derived from the infinitive, i.e., caber → *cabo. However, quepo is not considered at all historically irregular. Since the first historical grammar of Spanish, quepo has been understood to be a direct continuation of Lat. capiō, which apparently evolved through regular phonetic development, like pres. subj. capiam > quepa, sapiam > sepa. Nonetheless, one may question why quepo has not been replaced by *cabo in Modern Spanish given its extremely low frequency of occurrence, as forms of a language that occur infrequently are often regularized. A historical look at quepo reveals the following surprising facts: (1) Although pres. subj. quepa is attested from the earliest Old Spanish texts onward, quepo is absent from the written record throughout the Old and Medieval Spanish periods and does not appear until the end of the sixteenth century; (2) Regularized cabo served as the first person singular of the present indicative until then. The present study attempts to explain through well-established processes of historical morphology the late appearance of quepo and its continued existence in Modern Spanish.

A large abscess of the uterus, opened in its cavity. Recovery

A Jewish woman, 65 years old, has been ill for several days, complains of a fever and pain in the lower abdomen. On 2 transverse fingers under the pubis, a tumor is felt, very painful, emanating from the small pelvis; complete prolapse of the vagina and incomplete uterus; with a double study of the reduction of the fallen out parts, it is determined that the fornices are free, and the above-mentioned painful swelling is a direct continuation of the significantly enlarged uterus.

Badania ratownicze osady wczesnośredniowiecznej w Głazowie, stan. 22, pow. sandomierski

In 2005, rescue excavations were carried out at site 22 (discovered a year earlier) in Głazów. Their aim was to record and explore the features visible in the high balk. Two of the examined features were the remains of smoking chambers (pits), and the third pit could be of an utility function. Based on the pottery sherds found inside, these features should be dated between the beginning of the 9th and the end of the 10th century. However, in the arable layer of the ground and on the surface of the site, there were mainly fragments of ceramics determined to the 12th – 13th centuries. This dating indicates the two-phase settlement of the early medieval site 22 in Głazów: the first phase – 9th – 10th (or the beginning of the 11th century); the second phase – 12th – 13th centuries. The village Głazów, which exists today, is a direct continuation of the settlement of the second phase.

FREEDOM, LOW AND IMAGINATION THE LECTURES OF F.W.J. SCHELLING IN 1800-1810s

The gives the detailed analysis of the ratio of freedom and imagination in an unpublished manuscript written by F.V.Y. Schelling, which contains the materials for the lecture course read at Erlangen University in 1820-1821. The author focuses on the question of imagination as a condition for the possibility to unfold the modal differences that provide the hierarchy of predicative definitions. The article shows that both the draft philosophy of mythology and the philosophy of revelation are a direct continuation of the transcendentalist program given by Kant.Those projects bases on the thesis that the consciousness of freedom and consciousness of the law, justified in the “Critique of Practical Reason”, are related one another. Schelling following Kant’s theory, points to the law and to the unconditional imperative of freedom as the main principle which is not only theoretical or practical, but determines the separation of ontological and deontological modalities. At the same time, the formal structure of an imperative as a command has the specific character of “hiden opening”: what is themed in an imperative is not opened as a meaningful opportunity, it is only opened as theopportunity in its difference from necessity. I show in this article that interpreting the Schelling possibility relies on the teachings of I. Kant in his transcendental idealconception, connected with Kant's interpretation of the imagination’s productive ability. In the middle of Schelling’s theological interpretation of Kant's consciousness of lawdoctrine as the “fact of mind” lies the analogy between peacemaking and the ancestral sin of the first people. This concept is the main source of the theory of potency as ontological modalities, developed by Schelling in the 1830s - 1840s in lectures on the philosophy of mythology and the philosophy of revelation.

From Academia Armena Sancti Lazari to the Establishment of Armenian Studies at Ca’ Foscari

The Armenian Studies have a very long tradition in Italy. However, the establishment of the official teaching of Armenian at Ca’ Foscari is particularly significant. It is a direct continuation of many Armenian traces present in the lagoon city for centuries, such as the birth of the first Casa Armena in Europe in 1245, the prosperous diplomatic relations between the Republic of Serenissima and the Kingdom of Armenia, the printing of the first Armenian book in 1512, the arrival of Armenian merchants from Julfa, who highly contributed to the economy of Venice, and finally the institution of the Mekhitarist Congregation of the Armenian monks on the island of San Lazzaro, recognised by Napoleon as Academia Armena Sancti Lazari. After an historical excursus, the paper will go on to detail some significant periods of Armenian Studies at Ca’ Foscari.

The Politics of Abstraction

The second chapter shows that the Black Arts Movement called upon abstraction as the movement hailed blackness. Crawford argues that the black abstract art of the 21st century is a direct continuation of the Black Arts Movement working of abstraction for its blackest possibilities. The paintings of the Afri-COBRA collective are as central to this chapter as the 21st century sculpture of Barbara Chase-Riboud and the 21st century paintings of Kerry James Marshall. This chapter argues that we have failed to see the connections between strategic essentialism and what Crawford names “strategic abstraction.”
