This chapter provides a historical and epistemological analysis of academic freedom as presented by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and supports its procedural guidelines but criticizes the way in which it associates reliable knowledge almost exclusively with scientifically based knowledge. It describes three types of universities: the closed circle, the marketplace of ideas, and the open circle, defending the last model as the most valuable for Catholic universities to embrace in the twenty-first century. It argues that even though the open circle model is the most difficult to sustain, it points the best way forward, academically and theologically.

Studies on cyrtophorian ciliates (Cyrtophoria) have accumulated much knowledge on morphological taxonomy and molecular phylogeny, and the general classification and phylogenetic relationships of most families have thereby been revealed. However, the phylogenetic position of the family Gastronautidae Deroux, 1994 remains uncertain. This is due to the presence of specialized characteristics (in particular a circumoral kinety in a closed circle), and most importantly, the lack of molecular data of this family. In addition, TrithigmostomaJankowski, 1967 holds a special position among genera in Chilodonellidae Deroux, 1976 due to its divergent characteristics. In the present work, we studied a new gastronautid, Gastronauta paraloisi sp. n., and three populations of Trithigmostoma cucullulus (Müller, 1786) Jankowski, 1967, using integrative methods. Species identifications were confirmed by morphological research. We also obtained SSU rDNA sequences, which included the first available sequence of Gastronautidae. The following SSU rDNA-inferred phylogenetic analyses showed that the establishment of the family Gastronautidae is necessary, and Gastronautidae and Trithigmostoma may represent intermediate evolutionary links in the order Chlamydodontida.

The new Field Theory consist two new Axioms and eight new Laws. It has been proposed and developed in previous reports by the same author. This report uses two axioms and six laws only. According to the first axiom (Axiom1), the author replaces uniform motion in a closed circle with non-uniform motion in an open vortex. According to the second axiom (Axiom2), it exists a pairs of vortices that are mutually orthogonal or they work in a system of resonance. The most probable of all of variants is the following pair: accelerating vortex from the center outwards connected with a decelerating vortex from the periphery inwards. This case is a model of the connected proton-electron pair. In this report the properties of a system only of linked electrons and protons are studied. It is known that the Electromagnetic Field propagates at a constant speed and the waves are only transverse. According to the new Axioms and Laws in the electron-proton system, the internal connections are of variable speed and the waves are not only transverse but and longitudinal. It appears that the interactions between the proton and the electron are not Electromagnetic. They include cross vortex with variable velocity and longitudinal vortex with variable velocity as well. From previous developments it is clear that the electron is not a concentric open vortex but an eccentric open vortex, centered in the second quadrant. And the proton is not a concentric open vortex but an eccentric open vortex, centered in the first quadrant. This is the reason for the formation of eccentricity vectors that decompose along the x and y axes. Because the eccentricity of the electron is greater than the eccentricity of the proton then the component along they axis rotates the electron around the proton (in orbit). And besides, since the decelerating vortex of the electron emits elementary decelerating vortices (Law 5) inward which are bent in the direction of the decelerating velocity, the electron will rotate parasitically and slowly around its own axis (in spin). The electron and proton are repelled gravitationally by a transverse component and are attracted gravitationally by a longitudinal component which are with variable speed. The existence of feedback between the electron and the proton (Law 7 and Law 8) explains the reason for the presence of elementary cross vortices. When they are emitted outward - are called “free energy”. And because they are invisible -are called and “black matter” as well.

The latest publications of legal scholars are considered, exploring the nature and concept of legal force from the point of view of various traditions and disciplines, as well as issues of institutionalization of approaches to determining the legal force of legal norms.

Two new Axioms and eight new Laws have been proposed and developed in previous reports. This report uses both axioms and only four laws. According to the first axiom (Axiom1), we can replace uniform motion in a closed circle with non-uniform motion in an open vortex. According to the second axiom (Axiom2), there are pairs of vortices that are mutually orthogonal or they tend to work in a system by a special type of resonance. Of all the variants of vortex pairs, the most probable is the pair: accelerating vortex from the center outwards connected with a delayed vortex from the periphery inwards. This pair is a model of the connected proton-electron pair. The behavior of a free electron and a proton in an Electromagnetic Field is studied. Actually like a cross vortex from outside to inside the electron will be directed to the positive pole. Therefore, an external observer who does not know what the internal structure of the electron is will think and will be deceived that the electron carries a negative charge. The exact opposite is observed for the proton. The properties of a system of linked electrons and protons are also studied. It is known that the Electromagnetic Field propagates at a constant speed and when pulsating the waves are only transverse. According to the new Axioms and Laws in the electron-proton system, the internal connections are of variable speed and when pulsating, the waves are not only transverse and longitudinal. Because the Electromagnetic field is only transverse at a constant speed , it appears that the interaction between the proton and the electron is not Electromagnetic but some other interaction. The interaction between the protons includes cross vortex with variable velocity and longitudinal vortex with variable velocity

An examination of life cycle diagrams from books and from an online database of science diagrams is presented. Many diagrams contained many irrelevant details, depicted the life cycle as a closed circle, and did not depict any form of biological variability. How these features might influence student learning and biological reasoning is discussed.
