En Gud värdig tillbedjan

The purpose of this paper is to widen the discussion on worship and question the assumption that only a personal God can be worthy of worship. Within philosophy of religion, the contemporary debate on worship axiomatically assumes that only a personal God is worthy of worship and a conception of God tends to only be regarded as religiously adequate if the god in question is worthy of worship. In this paper, I focus on monistic non-personal pantheism: a conception of the divine as a non-personal Unity. The analysis looks to the "radical model" of worship outlined by George Chryssides and the theory of the numinous by Rudolf Otto. The radical model for worship does not accept that only a personal being can be worthy of worship. The article shows that Otto's theory of the numinous can be used to bridge the gap between non-personal, and personal, conceptions of God/the divine. In other words, even if we accept Otto's theory of the holy and the numinous we cannot draw the conclusion that only a personal God can be worthy of worship.

The ‘History of Everyday Life’ as a Cultural Policy in London Local Government

The second part of this book, of which this chapter is the last, is about the ‘history of everyday life’ in practice. This chapter looks at how popular social history became part of the cultural policy of local government in London, via the activities of the Education Office of the London County Council (LCC). It examines how the ‘history of everyday life’ was used in LCC extra-mural educational programmes to offer a radical model of London citizenship during the heyday of local authority reach and influence. This LCC project had its origins in turn-of-the-century Arts and Crafts thinking and came to fruition in the collectivist climate of wartime, Blitz-shaken London. This chapter again highlights the prominent role of women as producers of popular history, focusing in particular on the work and ideas of Molly Harrison as curator of the Geffrye Museum in Hoxton, East London, during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s.

Radical embedding combined dynamic embedding based BERT in Bi-LSTM-CRF model for Chinese named entity recognition from Adverse Drug Event records (Preprint)

BACKGROUND With the increasing variety of drugs, the incidence of Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) is increasing year by year. Massive ADEs are recorded in Electronic Medical Records and Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) reports which are important source of potential ADRs information. OBJECTIVE Meanwhile, it is essential to make latent ADR information to be available automatically for better post-marketing drug safety reevaluation and pharmacovigilance. This present study describes how to identify ADR-related information from Chinese ADE reports. METHODS Our study established an efficient automated tool, named BBC-Radical (BBC-Radical is model that consists of three components – Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), Bidirectional Long-Short Term Memory (Bi-LSTM), and Conditional Random Field (CRF)) model to identify ADR-related information from Chinese ADR reports. Token features and radical features of Chinese characters are used to represent the common meaning of a group of words. BERT and Bi-LSTM-CRF were novel models combined these features to conduct Named Entity Recognition (NER) tasks in the free-text section of 24,890 ADR reports of Jiangsu Province Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center from 2010 to 2016. Moreover, the Man-Machine comparison experiment on the ADE records of Drum Tower hospital was designed to compare the NER performance between BBC-Radical model and manual method. RESULTS The NER model achieved relatively high performance of Precision of 96.41%, Recall of 96.03%, and F1 score of 96.22%. It was indicated the performance of the BBC-Radical model (Precision: 87.17%, Recall: 85.69%, and F1 score: 86.43%) is much better than that of the manual method (Precision: 86.1%, Recall: 73.8%, and F1 score: 79.5%) in the recognition task of each kind of entity. CONCLUSIONS The proposed model shows competition in ADR related information extraction from ADE reports and the results suggested that the application of our method in the information extraction of ADR related information is of great significance in improving the quality of ADR reports and post-marketing drug safety evaluation.

A radical model for the North Atlantic and the Greenland-Iceland-Faroes Ridge

<p><strong>A radical model for the North Atlantic and the Greenland-Iceland-Faroes Ridge</strong></p><p><strong>Christian Schiffer, Gillian Foulger, Kenni Petersen and Laurent Geoffroy</strong></p><p><strong>[email protected]</strong></p><p>Analysis of teleseismic data from a seismological experiment in the East Greenland Caledonides reveals an east-dipping sub-crustal high velocity structure. The observations are consistent with a dipping eclogite layer underlying hydrated serpentinised mantle. The structure is therefore interpreted as a fossil subduction complex and may have radical implications for our understanding of the North Atlantic. <br>Comparison with the very similar and well-known “Flannan reflector” in northern Scotland suggests that these two structures were once connected and now separated by the North Atlantic Ocean. Spatial correlation with geodynamic and magmatic events as well as structural peculiarities in the North Atlantic suggests an important control of this pre-existing structure on the plate tectonic evolution. For example, the Greenland-Faroe-Iceland Ridge formed where the North Atlantic rift crossed the proposed structure. The Jan Mayen Microplate formed exactly to the north of this intersection[CS1] . <br>We propose a new model for the formation of the North Atlantic that involves mainly plate tectonic processes and structural inheritance. The model involves delamination of dense orogenic crustal root and lithosphere triggering lower mantle upwelling and formation of a Large Igneous Province (LIP). Crustal flow and/or exhumation of the initially very thick (e.g. Tibet-like) continental lower-crust beneath extrusives could explain part of the anomalous thickness of the Greenland-Iceland-Faroes Ridge.</p><p>Our model explains several features of the North Atlantic, including microplate formation, enhanced magmatism and LIP formation, the formation of magma-rich and magma-poor continental margins, high-velocity lower crustal bodies, rift migration and formation of the Greenland-Faroe-Iceland Ridge.</p>

Thermal Cracking Furnace Optimal Modeling Based on Enriched Kumar Model by Free-Radical Reactions

The Kumar model as a molecular model has achieved successful application. However, only 22 reactions limit its veracity and adaptability for feedstocks. A series of models with different degrees of integration of the free radical model and the molecular model has been proposed to enhance feedstock adaptability and simulation accuracy. An improved search engine algorithm, namely Improved PageRank (IPR), is provided and applied to calculate the importance of substances in Kumar model to screen the free-radical reaction network for efficient model selection. A methodology of optimal structure and model parameters chosen is applied to the target to improve the adaptability of the material and the accuracy of the model. Then, two cases with different feedstocks are demonstrated with industrial data to verify the correctness of the proposed approach and its wide feedstock adaptability. The proposed model demonstrates good performance: (1) The mean relative errors (MRE) of the K-R (Kumar and free-radical) model have reached an order of magnitude less than 0.1% compared with 5% in the Kumar model. Further, (2) the K-R model can be implemented to model some feedstocks which Kumar model can’t simulate successfully. The K-R model can be applied in simulation of extensive feedstocks with high accuracy.

New kinetic analysis of the Fenton reaction: Critical examination of the free radical – chain reaction concept

Using [H2O2] in the molar range, the reaction with Fe2+ has two phases: in the first rapid phase, only a small fraction of the total O2 is evolved; the bulk of the gas is formed in a slow second phase. In interpretations based on the free radical model of Barb et al., the first phase has been identified with the ‘Fenton reaction’ (reaction of Fe2+with H2O2), while the second with catalytic decomposition of H2O2 by Fe3+ ions. This interpretation is not correct. A new analysis of the model shows that (1) it is a chain reaction having no termination steps and (2) the ‘Fenton part’ alone consists of two phases. It starts with rapid evolution of O2 via a five-membered chain reaction (first phase). When [Fe2+] becomes low, evolution of O2 continues in a three-membered chain reaction at a greatly reduced rate (second phase). In later stages of the second phase, Fe3+ catalysis contributes to O2 evolution. Thus, the amount of O2 formed in the rapid phase cannot be identified with the total amount formed in the ‘Fenton reaction’ but only with that formed in its first phase. Computer simulations of O2 evolution based on the model of Barb et al. and rate constants show a definite dependence of this quantity on the initial [H2O2] – in contrast to the experimentally found independence. More satisfactory, but not complete, agreement with measured data could be reached in simulations using a non-radical model. Some of the difficulty has been due to the determination of the exact position of the end of the first phase. The transition between the two phases of the reaction occurs in a short, but finite time interval. It has been shown that the quantity ‘total amount of O2 evolved in the Fenton reaction’ (subtracting the part due to Fe3+catalysis) is not accessible to experimental determination nor to theoretical calculation.
