This paper seeks to approach the role that His-tory plays in the hermeneutical philosophical tradition, both as a reality and as knowledge. To that end, it engages the theories of two con-temporary exponents of said tradition: Gianni Vattimo and Charles Taylor. Starting from a synthetic exposition of their theoretical pro-posals, both on an epistemological level and regarding their interpretation of the contem-porary age, it intends to identify coincidences and disagreements between both theoretical models. Then, through a critical comparison, each theory’s weaknesses and potential contra-dictions are brought to light. In the conclusive remarks, it seeks to defend the superiority of Taylor’s approach to historical knowledge since it more consistently respects the plurality of in-terpretations of processes and events while also leaving open the possibility of moral and politi-cal normative evaluations., El presente artículo busca aproximarse al papel que la historia —como realidad y como conocimiento— ocupa en la filosofía hermenéutica. Para ello, se aborda la teoría de dos exponentes contemporáneos de dicha tradición: Gianni Vattimo y Charles Taylor. A partir de una exposición sintética de la propuesta de ambos autores, tanto en un plano epistemológico como en el de su interpretación puntual de la época contemporánea, se pretende identificar similitudes y diferencias entre ambos modelos. Posteriormente, a través de una comparación crítica, se resaltan las debilidades y posibles contradicciones de cada planteamiento. En la conclusión, se busca defender la superioridad de la aproximación tayloreana al conocimiento histórico, en la medida que respeta de manera más consistente la pluralidad de interpretaciones de los procesos y eventos, al tiempo que deja abierta la vía para una evaluación moral y política normativa.

In a fusion plasma, the ions have to be heated to reach fusion relevant temperatures. One possibility is to launch an electromagnetic wave in the radio frequency band into the plasma. This wave can resonate with the ions at their cyclotron frequency and hence, the method is called ion cyclotron resonance heating. If the Larmor radius is of similar length scales as the wavelength, finite Larmor radius (FLR) effects are important. This introduces additional possible wave modes. To accurately predict the heating, simulations of these additional modes can be important. In order to describe the FLR effects in simulations, this work applies a Taylor expansion to second order in the perpendicular wavenumber of the dielectric tensor. In real space, the Taylor expansion corresponds to a series of spatial derivatives. These derivatives are implemented as weak-form contributions for a onedimensional finite element method (FEM)simulation. The approach is realized in a fork of the FEMIC code, coupling plasma physics in MATLAB with the FEM solver in COMSOL. The discretization of the FEM solver is adapted using a Helmholtz filter to provide the required degree of smoothness. Our approach proves successful to simulate FLR effects within the limitations caused by the modeling choices. We compare results with an all-order FLR method, showing good qualitative agreement. This work serves as a proof of concept to describe challenges on the way towards incorporation of second order FLR effects in twodimensional simulations in FEMIC., I ett fusionsplasma måste jonerna värmas för att plasmat ska nå temperaturer relevanta för fusion. En möjlighet är att sända in en elektromagnetisk våg i radiofrekvensbandet i plasmat. Den vågen kan sedan resonera med jonerna vid deras cyklotronfrekvens, och därför kallas metoden för joncyklotronresonansuppvärmning. Om våglängden är jämförbar med Larmorradien blir ändliga Larmorradie-effekter viktiga. Detta möjliggör ytterligare typer av vågor. Det kan vara viktigt att simulera dessa typer av vågor för att förutsäga uppvärmningen på ett träffsäkert vis. I denna masteruppsats Taylorutvecklar vi den dielektriska tensorn till andra ordningen i det vinkelräta vågtalet för att beskriva hur FLR-effekter påverkar simuleringarna. I det reella rummet motsvarar Taylorutvecklingen en serie av rumsliga derivator. Dessa derivator implementeras sedan som bidrag på svag form i en endimensionell modell som löses med den finita elementmetoden (FEM). Metoden implementeras i FEMIC-koden, som kopplar plasmafysik i MATLAB med FEM-lösaren i COMSOL. Diskretiseringen av FEM anpassas med ett Helmholtzfilter för att få en tillräckligt slät funktion. Ansatsen visar sig kunna framgångrikt simulera FLR-effekter, med vissa förväntade begränsningar. Lösningen jämförs sedan med lösningen från en metod som tar hänsyn till FLR-effekter, men som inte är baserad på en serieuteckling. Vi finner god kvalitativ överensstämmelse. Detta arbete fungerar som en prototyp och ämnar att beskriva de utmaningar som kan uppstå vid implementation av FLR-effekter den tvådimensionella axisymmetriska versionen av FEMIC.

In this paper I present the position of two philosophers associated with the hermeneutic tradition, Gianni Vattimo and Charles Taylor, about the status of scientific knowledge in our contemporary world. Through a brief exposition of the fundamental features of their respective ontologies and epistemologies, I seek to offer a critical comparison. In the conclusion, I defend the superiority of Taylor’s formulation, inasmuch it allows to put in question the primacy of the natural science model without abandoning a realist conception of the world and of the category of truth., Resumen: En este artículo se presenta la posición de dos filósofos asociados a la hermenéutica, Gianni Vattimo y Charles Taylor, respecto del status del conocimiento científico en el mundo contemporáneo. Mediante una somera exposición de los rasgos fundamentales de sus respectivas ontologías y epistemologías, se busca realizar una comparación crítica. En la conclusión, se defiende la superioridad del planteo de Taylor, en la medida que permite discutir la primacía del modelo científico natural sin abandonar una concepción realista del mundo y de la categoría de verdad.

Essän bygger på Frederick Taylors intresse för forskningen om arbetsrörelsernas effektivitet utförd av den tolv år yngre Frank Gilbreth. Deras till en början ömsesidiga respekt övergick i ett spänt förhållande som resulterade i en varaktig dispyt om vem som var först med tidsstudien som ett medel för arbetsanalys. I denna essä presenteras Gilbreths insats, Taylors behandling av denna och hur de två pionjärernas fortsatta relation utvecklade sig., This essay is about the relationship between two pioneers in the work sciences: Frederick Taylor and the younger Frank Gilbreth, known for his studies in motion and efficiency. The initial, mutual respect between Taylor and Gilbreth passed into a tense relation resulting in a enduring controversy who was the first to discover the time study as an inevitable instrument in task analyses. This paper presents the work of Gilbreth, how it was treated by Taylor and how the relationship between the two work scientists proceeded.

While the Competitive Reaction Time Task (CRTT) is the most used behavioral aggression paradigm, it is characterized by methodological heterogeneity and quantification strategies for its' outcome are unstandardized. Therefore, the standards of measuring aggression should be improved. This article contributes on such an improvement by providing: (a) a freely available CRTT online administration program, and (b) a factor-analytically derived scoring method. Based on a combined sample (n = 423), a two-factor model was fit to the 30-trial CRTT version. The first factor included all trial scores subsequent to the first time the participant received aversive feedback (i.e., provoked factor) and the second factor included all trial scores prior to this first aversive feedback (i.e., unprovoked factor). Construct validity was evidenced based on the factors` differential relationship with self-reported aggression and narcissism. Our factor analytic findings empirically support the superiority of one of the existing CRTT scoring methods, that is, separately averaging all preprovocation versus all postprovocation trials. We discuss practical recommendations for CRTT users and outline future empirical avenues. This article aims at stimulating joint efforts to move toward standardization of CRTT implementation and outcome measure analysis.

The "absolute" scope and the ultimate condition of the Hegelian system has been a philosophical problem that some interpreters have described as "unsurpassable". This scope is interpreted by Charles Taylor as an absolute spirit that is "embodied" in finite spirits, whose freedom is a condition of possibility for its realization. Robert Pippin is dissatisfied with the interpretation of the subject as the "receiver" of the spirit, since it makes access to a concept of "freedom" understood as social recognition difficult. In the present work these two perspectives have been presented and compared and it has been concluded that, although they offer very diverse interpretations of Hegelian texts, their theses are largely complementary. This coincidence allows a new consideration of Hegel's traditional commentators., El alcance “absoluto” y el carácter definitivo del sistema hegeliano han constituido un problema filosófico que algunos intérpretes han calificado como “insuperable”. Este alcance es interpretado por Charles Taylor como un espíritu absoluto que queda “encarnado” en los espíritus finitos, cuya libertad es condición de posibilidad para su realización. Robert Pippin se muestra insatisfecho con la interpretación del sujeto en tanto “receptor” del espíritu, puesto que dificulta el acceso a un concepto de “libertad” entendido como reconocimiento social. En el presente trabajo se han presentado y comparado estas dos perspectivas y se ha concluido que, aunque ofrecen interpretaciones muy diversas sobre los textos hegelianos, sus tesis son en gran medida complementarias. Esta coincidencia permite una nueva consideración de los comentaristas tradicionales de Hegel.

Denna uppsats kritiserar den sekulära diskursen som är dominerande i den svenska religionsundervisningen genom att diskutera olika förhållningssätt till sekularism. Studiens huvudfokus ligger på att diskutera begreppet religionskritik och hur man kan föra ett kritiskt samtal om den sekulära diskursen genom två förhållningssätt till sekularism. Tankar om sekularism från Charles Taylor och Ann af Burén utgör studiens material och diskussionen kring religionskritik utgår ifrån Mikael Stenmarks öppna strategi med ett speciellt fokus på immanent kritik. Analysen visar att både Taylor och af Buréns förhållningssätt till sekularism möjliggör en immanent kritik då båda deras resonemang kan sägas utgöra interna skäl för att utforma kritik gentemot den sekulära diskursen. Till skillnad från den sekulära diskursen så förhåller sig både Taylor och af Buréns förhållningssätt till sekularism relativt positiva till religion och menar att sekularism inte behöver innebära en uppdelning mellan det religiösa och icke-religiösa. Studien avslutas med att diskutera vad de eventuella didaktiska konsekvenserna kan bli om den sekulära diskursen kritiseras genom att använda sig av Taylor och af Buréns förhållningssätt till sekularism. Den diskussionen utgår ifrån vikten av att kunna vara kritisk gentemot alla former av livsåskådningar i samhället för att motverka fördomar.

The aim of this research is to evaluate the resilience of a group of 103 primary and secondary school students through an online survey toknow their general perception and to establish the differences depending on the educational stage.The study was carried out in June 2020 when all of them were still confined to their homes.Among the results, the importance of working with all of them on emotional communication with families, feeling part of the educational center, developing skills,and abilities and fostering knowledge of their strengths is highlighted.Few significant differences are found between these ages (10-15years),and it is proposed to considerthe Henderson and Milstein model to develop resilience in the educational environment, Se plantea una investigación que tiene como objetivo evaluar la resiliencia de un grupo de 103 alumnos y alumnas de primaria y secundaria, a través de una encuesta online para conocer su percepción general y establecer las diferencias en función de la etapa educativa. El estudio se llevó a cabo en el mes de junio de 2020 cuando todavía todos estaban confinados en sus casas. Entre los resultados se destaca la importancia de trabajar con todos ellos la comunicación emocional con las familias, sentirse partes del centro educativo, desarrollar habilidades y destrezas y fomentar el conocimiento de sus fortalezas. Se encuentran pocas diferencias significativas entre estas edades (10-15 años) y se propone tener en cuenta el modelo de Henderson y Milstein para desarrollar la resiliencia en el ámbito educativo.

In this paper I analyse two possible translations from hermeneutic philosophy into the field of political theory. Mainly, Gianni Vattimo’s conception of «weak thought» is presented, a nihilistic and postmodern version of the hermeneutic tradition. Against it, Charles Taylor’s proposal to manage multicultural is put forward —also informed by hermeneutic principles, although within a peculiar form of moral realism. Through a critical comparison between both works, I intend to hold that Taylor’s variant overcomes some of the contradictions and defects that Vattimo’s model exhibits. More generally, the position that I seek to defend is that a Hermeneutics that holds a relevant function for the concept of ‘truth’ is better suited to sustain a productive political model., En el presente trabajo se analizan dos de las posibles traducciones de la filosofía hermenéutica al campo de la teoría política. Principalmente, se expone la concepción del «pensamiento débil» de Gianni Vattimo, una versión nihilista y posmoderna de la tradición hermenéutica. En contraposición, se presenta la propuesta de Charles Taylor en relación con la gestión de la diversidad multicultural, también informada por principios hermenéuticos, pero dentro de una forma peculiar de realismo moral. A través de una comparación crítica entre la obra de ambos autores, se pretende sostener que la variante de Taylor supera algunas de las contradicciones y defectos que el modelo de Vattimo exhibe. Globalmente, la posición que se busca defender es que una hermenéutica que mantenga un lugar relevante para el concepto de «verdad» está mejor dotada para construir un modelo político productivo.

La presència de microplàstics en mars i oceans suposa una problemàtica pels ecosistemes marins afectant directament la salut dels éssers vius que s’hi troben. Els microplàstics col·lisionen amb biopartícules, per efecte de mecanismes de turbulència i càustiques, formant agregats que provoquen la dispersió vertical d’aquests microplàstics fet que suposa una dificultat afegida per la seva possible extracció de les aigües marines. Aquest treball té com a objectiu estudiar la dinàmica de la ràtio de col·lisions i la formació d’agregats entre microplàstics i biopartícules al mar, així com determinar la importància dels grups adimensionals que regeixen les interaccions entre elles. Els resultats que es presenten s’han obtingut a través de simulacions computacionals que han permès obtenir la ratió de col·lisió i les característiques constitutives dels agregats formats. S’ha utilitzat un model teòric per determinar en quines configuracions inicials predomina l’efecte de la turbulència o l’efecte de la càustica en la mecànica de producció de col·lisions., La presencia de microplásticos en mares y océanos supone una problemática para los ecosistemas marinos afectando directamente la salud de los seres vivos que ahí se encuentran. Los microplásticos colisionan con biopartículas, por efecto de mecanismos de turbulencia y causticas, formando agregados que provocan la dispersión vertical de estos microplásticos, hecho que supone una dificultad añadida para su posible extracción de aguas marinas. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo estudiar la dinámica de la ratio de colisión i la formación de agregados entre microplásticos y biopartículas en el mar, así como determinar la importancia de los grupos adimensionales que rigen las interacciones entre ellas. Los resultados que se presentan se han obtenido a través de simulaciones computacionales que han permitido obtener la ratio de colisiones y las características constitutivas de los agregados formados. Se ha usado un modelo teórico para determinar en cuáles configuraciones iniciales prima el efecto de la turbulencia o el de la cáustica en el mecanismo de producción de colisiones., The presence of microplastics in seas and oceans is a problem for marine ecosystems, directly affecting the health of living organisms being there. Microplastic collide with bioparticles due to the effect of turbulence and caustic mechanisms, creating aggregates that cause the vertical dispersion of these microplastics, which is an added difficulty to their possible extraction from sea. This work aims to study the dynamics of the collision rate and the formation of aggregates between microplastic and bioparticles in the sea, as well as to determine the importance of the dimensionless groups that govern the interactions between them. The results presented have been obtained through computational simulations that have made possible to obtain the collision rate and the constitutive characteristics of formed aggregates. A theoretical model has been used to determine in which initial configurations the effect of turbulence or the effect of caustics predominates on collision production mechanisms., Objectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible::14 - Vida Submarina

Essän bygger på en av Frederick Taylor författad uppsats, ”Government Efficiency” som han spred separat samma år som hans två mest kända skrifter publicerades, Shop Management och The Principles of Scientific Management. I ”Government Efficiency”, framför Taylor kritik mot det amerikanska försvarets gammaldags produktion av krigsmateriel och uppmanar till modernisering med hans system, scientific management. Ett försök med tidsstudier i ett gjuteri utlöste en strejk som fick massmedial uppmärksamhet med följdverkningar. Taylor fick vid flera tillfällen stå till svars inför den amerikanska kongressen. Då Taylor i sina två skrifter hävdat att en strejk aldrig inträffat på de arbetsplatser där han utvecklat scientific management, blev denna strejk särskilt uppseendeväckande., The essay is based on a separate paper written by Frederic Taylor, ”Government Efficiency”, He distributed it the same year as his two most familiar works were published, Shop Management och The Principles of Scientific Management. In ”Government Efficiency” Taylor criticizes the U.S. defence for its old-fashioned production of war munition. He suggests the production would be rendered more effective by applying his scientific management model. Time studies were started in one of the government military arsenals. A group of molders protested and went on strike. Immediate attention by mass media paved the way for public attention and hearings in the House of Representatives. As Taylor has asserted in his two books that a strike never occurred in the work places where he had introduced scientific management, this strike became especially sensational.

Color blindness affects nearly 10% of the entire population, with multiple types of color blindness from various genetic mutations. In the following sections, the nature of light and how the human eye perceives light will be discussed. Afterward, the major forms of color blindness and their genetic causes will be considered. Once these genetic causes have been established, the current method for diagnosing color blindness will be investigated, followed by a discussion of the current treatments available to those with color blindness. Finally, a brief discussion will address possible future work for color blindness with the hope of finding better treatments and a future prevention.

[EN] In this work we introduce a new method to compute the matrix cosine. It is based on recent new matrix polynomial evaluation methods for the Taylor approximation and a mixed forward and backward error analysis. The matrix polynomial evaluation methods allow to evaluate the Taylor polynomial approximation of the matrix cosine function more efficiently than using Paterson-Stockmeyer method. A sequential Matlab implementation of the new algorithm is provided, giving better efficiency and accuracy than state-of-the-art algorithms. Moreover, we provide an implementation in Matlab that can use NVIDIA CPUs easily and efficiently. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This article examines the problem of the distribution of earnings between worker and employer in the main works of Frederick W. Taylor. For this purpose, a critical reading of the original sources is used. Taylor justifies the need to offer fair wages, but also advocates for not sharing profits equally with the company’s workers. Also, beyond an isolated search for a mere increase in efficiency in the production of the company, we find in his work a Taylor that oscillates between a further attempt to exploit the workers and a further attempt to improve the conditions of society as a whole, including the conditions of these same workers, precisely through increasing such efficiency, Cet article examine le problème de la répartition des gains entre le travailleur et l’employeur dans les oeuvres principales de Frederick W. Taylor. À cette fin, une lecture critique des sources originales est utilisée. Taylor justifie la nécessité d’offrir des salaires équitables, mais préconise également ne pas partager les gains équitablement avec les travailleurs de l’entreprise. En outre, au-delà d’une recherche isolée d’une simple augmentation de l’efficacité dans la production de la société, nous trouvons dans son travail un Taylor qui bascule entre une nouvelle prétention d’exploiter les travailleurs et une nouvelle prétention à améliorer les conditions de la société dans son ensemble, y compris les conditions de ces mêmes travailleurs, en augmentant précisément cette efficacité., Este artigo examina o problema da distribuição de ganhos entre o trabalhador e o empregador nas principais obras de Frederick W. Taylor. Para este efeito, é utilizada uma leitura crítica das fontes originais. Taylor justifica a necessidade de oferecer salários justos, mas também defende não compartilhar os ganhos equitativamente com os trabalhadores da empresa. Além disso, além de uma busca isolada por um mero aumento na eficiência na produção da empresa, em sua obra encontramos um Taylor que oscila entre uma pretensão adicional de exploração dos trabalhadores e uma pretensão adicional para melhorar as condições da sociedade como um todo, incluindo as condições destes mesmos trabalhadores, aumentando precisamente essa eficiência., El presente artículo examina el problema de la distribución de las ganancias entre el trabajador y el empresario en las principales obras de Frederick W. Taylor. Para ello se recurre a una lectura crítica de las fuentes originales. Taylor justifica la necesidad de ofrecer salarios justos, pero propugna también por no compartir las ganancias equitativamente con los trabajadores de la empresa. Asimismo, más allá de una búsqueda aislada de un mero aumento de la eficiencia en la producción de la empresa, encontramos en su obra un Taylor que oscila entre una pretensión ulterior de explotar a los trabajadores y una pretensión ulterior de mejorar las condiciones de la sociedad en su conjunto, incluyendo las condiciones de estos mismos trabajadores, mediante el aumento precisamente de tal eficiencia.

An analysis on selecting cutting speed, cutting feed and depth of cut when collecting data for the Colding Tool Life Model based on Woxen's Equivalent Chip Thickness was performed to achieve the lowest possible model error. All possible combinations of a large data set were evaluated with regard to model error. This work shows that an increase of ratio between the highest and lowest cutting speed, feed, depth of cut and tool life within the five included tool life tests increases the likelihood of an accurate model. Further, to ensure an accurate model, it is not enough to have a large ratio of one single parameter, but a large ratio in all parameters is needed. The paper also presents a suggestion on how to select the cutting data points, derived from the best performing tool life models. It is concluded that one should aim to have one pair of cutting data points with equal equivalent chip thickness while varying cutting speed and three more test points with different equivalent chip thickness.

The article argues that although consensus is not a first-order issue in Charles Taylor’s political philosophy, a reading oriented toward that problem can provide the elements for a theory of that notion, as well as for the identification of arguments to justify it. It also highlights the context of discussion that makes it possible to present Taylor’s philosophy as a way of thinking about consensus and as an alternative to constructivism., El artículo sostiene que el consenso no es un tema de primer orden en la filosofía política de Charles Taylor, pero una lectura orientada al problema puede ofrecer los elementos para establecer una teoría sobre dicha noción e identificar los argumentos para su justificación. Además, se enfatiza en el contexto de discusión que permite introducir la filosofía de Taylor como un modo de pensar sobre el consenso, alternativo al constructivismo.

The purpose of the article is to define moral integrity on the basis of self-reflection, meta-emotion, and identity. Starting out from H. Frankfurt’s notion of self-reflection, the article expands his assessment of desires with the help of C. Taylor ‘s concepts of strong and weak self-reflection. While it is true that emotions are relevant for motivation, it is an individual’s actions that count when assessing reflexivity. The article suggests that emotions, even when they have not materialized into actions, are relevant in determining moral identity. Likewise, it discusses meta-emotions as a type of second-order desire that is not necessarily linked to volition, but whose potential is similar to that of second-order volitions. It suggests that moral emotions, according to C. Korsgaard, be considered equivalent to meta-emotions, which, together with reasons, determine moral integrity., El artículo propone definir la integridad moral a partir de la autorreflexión, la metaemoción y la identidad. Se parte de la autorreflexión de H. Frankfurt y se amplía su evaluación de los deseos mediante los conceptos de autorreflexión débil y fuerte de C. Taylor. Si bien las emociones tienen relevancia en la motivación, lo que cuentapara evaluar la reflexividad de alguien son sus acciones. Se plantea que las emociones, aun sin cristalizar en acción, son relevantes para determinar la identidad moral. Así mismo, se presentan las metaemociones como un tipo de deseo de segundo ordenque no se enlaza necesariamente a la volición, pero que tiene potencial similar a las voliciones de segundo orden. Se propone considerar a las emociones morales, según las define C. Korsgaard, como equivalentes a las metaemociones que, junto con las razones, determinan la integridad moral.

This paper presents a new design method Model Network Control System (NCS) with transmission delays is presented. This method of modeling the NCS using state variables in the time domain, which has reviewed all possible interactions that may occur in the joint operator - average slave master. The design method is based on obtaining and solving a set of equations that achieve convergence the state of the slave and the master, thus achieving the slave to follow the master, and to establish the dynamics of this convergence and slave. Among the major contributions made in this paper is the modeling of a NCS with delays in state variables considering all possible interactions that may exist between the operator, the master, the slave and the environment. Using the Taylor approximation of first order to obtain a state model without the presence of NCS delayed terms in time. The design method that achieves convergence of states between the master and slave despite the existence of delays, and it is capable of binding both the dynamics of convergence, as the slave also ell design method reduces simply to solving a system of equations to obtain the control parameters of the control scheme., En este artículo se presenta un nuevo método de diseño de Modelo de Network Control System (NCS) con retardos en la transmisión. Este método parte de un modelado del NCS usando variables de estado en el dominio del tiempo, en el que se ha revisado todas las posibles interacciones que pueden aparecer en el conjunto operador – maestro– medio– esclavo. El método de diseño se basa en la obtención y resolución de un conjunto de ecuaciones que consiguen la convergencia del estado del esclavo y del maestro, logrando de este modo que el esclavo siga al maestro, así como establecer la dinámica de dicha convergencia y del esclavo. Entre los aportes principales realizados en este artículo se encuentra el modelado de un NCS con retardos en variables de estado contemplando todas las posibles interacciones que pueden existir entre el operador, el maestro, el esclavo y el entorno. Utilización de la aproximación de Taylor de primer orden para obtener un modelo de estado del NCS sin la presencia de términos retardados en el tiempo. El método de diseño que logra la convergencia de estados entre el maestro y el esclavo a pesar de la existencia de retardos, y además es capaz de fijar tanto la dinámica de la convergencia, como la del esclavo, además ell método de diseño se reduce simplemente a la resolución de un sistema de ecuaciones para obtener los parámetros de regulación del esquema de control.

In this paper, a modified and improved approach to the recently proposed multiple-resonator-based observer structure for harmonic estimation has been proposed. In the previous papers, two inherent particular cases have been considered. In the first case, estimation is performed in the point located in the middle of the observation interval, and exhibits good noises and unwanted harmonics attenuation but possesses a large response delay. In the second case, the estimation point is at the end of the observation window. In this case, the filters are able to form a zero-flat phase response about the operation frequency and hence able to provide instantaneous estimates, but with large overshoots caused by resonant frequencies at the edges of the pass band, and the high level of the sidelobs. In this paper, the estimation point is shifted along the observation interval reshaping frequency responses to tradeoff between those opposite requirements. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is shown through simulations.

In this paper, I examine notions of musical gesture and their possible compositional and analytical applications. As a point of departure, I provide a provisional definition of musical gesture; I then posit a theory of gesture classification that draws on language used in post-tonal set theory, in order to develop the formalized structures of gesture-classes and gesture-class sets. These concepts serve as the basis for my analysis of music by Franco Donatoni, Cecil Taylor, and Mari Kimura. I use Franco Donatoni’s Omar: due pezzi per vibrafono to present and illustrate how a set theory of gesture can be applied to musical composition. Building on the sets shown in Omar, I discuss Cecil Taylor’s Indent in order to demonstrate systems of gestural flow between gesture-classes and gesture-class sets. Finally, I use Mari Kimura’s Clone Barcarolle to exemplify the complex relationships that exist in the hybrid space between musical and physical gestures. Through each of these brief case studies, I aim to provide vocabulary with which to describe music that can be seen as gestural in conception or construction, as well as insight into possibilities for new forms of composition based on exploration of gesture as a formal musical element.

English: The following study of focus areas is an application of the recently developed Trinitarian modal-spherical method of apologetics, TMSA (Braun 2013), to the field of Religious Studies. The trajectory to be pursued will make use of basic sources in the presentation of three focus areas of contemporary culture: (a) Technology and everyday experience, (b) music and popular culture and (c) romantic love and economic freedom. Further, the philosophical deepening into the presented focus areas will be sought through the dialogue between continental and reformational philosophy as well as the integration of insights. Gained insights and conclusions from this dialogue will then be presented in terms of TMSA‟s Christian (confessional) stance. Main goals of this study are (I) to demonstrate how the ego's religious orientation manifests itself in the focus areas concerned (II) as well as to point out redemptive ways of dealing with them, as central sites of the contemporary lifeworld, through TMSA‟s Neo-Calvinist vision. As such, this study was designed in order to provide points of entry for the approach of contemporary human beings and their culture via TMSA. Accordingly, it isn't thereby intended to deliver the "full picture" of the subjects concerned, but rather, new possibilities of dialogue will be opened up (from TMSA‟s radically Christian perspective). Therefore, as the main priority of this study is the application of TMSA, basic sources will come into play as to enable an approximation of the contemporary lifeworld and the chosen focus areas., Afrikaans: Die volgende studie van fokusareas is 'n toepassing van die onlangs ontwikkelde Trinitariese modaal-sferiese metode van apologetiek, TMSA (Braun 2013), op die gebied van Religiestudies. Die trajek wat nagestreef word, sal gebruik maak van basiese bronne in die aanbieding van drie fokusareas van kontemporêre kultuur: (a) Tegnologie en alledaagse ervaring, (b) musiek en populêre kultuur en (c) romantiese liefde en ekonomiese vryheid. Verder sal die filosofiese verdieping in die voorgestelde fokusareas gesoek word deur die dialoog tussen kontinentale en reformatoriese filosofie, sowel as die integrasie van insigte. Die insigte en gevolgtrekkings wat uit hierdie dialoog verkry word, sal dan aangebied word in terme van TMSA se Christelike (konfessionele) posisie. Die hoofdoelwitte van hierdie studie is (I) om te demonstreer hoe die ego se godsdienstige oriëntasie homself manifesteer in die betrokke fokusareas, (II) asook om verlossende maniere uit te wys om daarmee, as sentrale areas van die hedendaagse leefwêreld, om te gaan deur TMSA se Neo -Calvinistiese visie. As sodanig, is hierdie studie ontwerp om toegangspunte tot die benadering van die hedendaagse mense en hul kultuur via TMSA te verskaf. Gevolglik is die doel daarvan nie om die "volle prentjie" van die betrokke temas te verskaf nie, maar eerder om nuwe moontlikhede vir dialoog te open (vanuit TMSA se radikaal Christelike perspektief). Daarom, aangesien die hoofprioriteit van hierdie studie die toepassing van TMSA is, sal basiese bronne gebruik word om dit moontlik te maak om nader aan die hedendaagse leefwêreld en die gekose fokusareas te kom.

In this article the question of secularity is addressed by means of a comparison between the contemporary debate and older debates. The discussion takes departure in Charles Taylor’s influential work, A Secular Age, which is slightly criticised for not being enough concerned with philosophers that have dealt with the theme before, such as Carl Schmitt, Karl Löwith and Hans Blumenberg. Hjalmar Falk’s recent dissertation on Carl Schmitt’s concept of secularity is introduced in order to illustrate how a richer notion of secularity is present in the older discussion and how it contains a confessional dimension. Political theology, which is a notion in very close contact with the notion of secularity, thus becomes confessional in a mediated way. This confessional dimension is not emphasised in the contemporary discussion and it is suggested that a more developed protestant idea of secularity can be envisioned in light of Schmitt’s catholic secularity, as presented in Falk’s dissertation.

There is an element of play within all of us. It is imagination and interaction that makes us human. In this digital age, it is evident that we are losing touch with our own ability to remain imaginative and explore new and different ways to physically interact with our environment. In this thesis, it is my goal is to design in a way that does not limit human abilities, but instead promotes the idea of play between our wants and needs as well as re-sparking our imagination. In this thesis exploration, I experimented with multiple scales of playful design. I will show you how I implemented the idea of play for the design of a kite, a toy, a furniture piece, and a building. All of these projects are examples of designs that could have been static elements, but instead were designed to be dynamic to complement our everyday dynamic lives. Enjoy!

In this paper we firstly present an analysis of the hermeneutic conception of intercultural understanding in H.-G. Gadamer and Ch. Taylor. Secondly, we clarified the social theory of interculturality developed by Taylor and G. Bouchard in a report entitled Building the Future. The Time of Reconciliation. Our goal is to show the main hermeneutical estimations of the socio-political proposal in this report., Neste artigo, em primeiro lugar, realiza-se uma análise da concepção hermenêutica da compreensão intercultural em H-G. Gadamer e CH. Taylor. Esclarecemos, em segundo lugar, a teoria social da interculturalidade que Taylor desenvolve juntamente com G. Bouchard num relatório titulado Building the Future. The Time of Reconciliation. Nosso objetivo é mostrar quais são as suposições hermenêuticas da proposta sociopolítica deste relatório., En este artículo realizamos, en primer lugar, un análisis de la concepción hermenéutica de la comprensión intercultural en H.-G. Gadamer y Ch. Taylor. Clarificamos, en segundo lugar, la teoría social de la interculturalidad que Taylor desarrolla junto a G. Bouchard en un Informe titulado Building the Future. The Time of Reconciliation. Nuestro objetivo es mostrar cuáles son los principales presupuestos hermenéuticos de la propuesta socio-política de este Informe.

O texto reconstrói o argumento de Taylor, segundo o qual a definição negativa de liberdade como ausência de impedimentos não conhece dos obstáculos internos à liberdade. Segundo ele, o reconhecimento de impedimentos internos é fundamental caso se quiser considerar como relevante o valor da autorrealização, o qual se constitui, deveras, em um valor fundamental do próprio liberalismo. Desse modo, ainda segundo Taylor, verifica-se uma inconsistência na posição liberal que aceita a liberdade negativa e ao mesmo tempo se mostra comprometida com o valor da autorrealização. Tentar-se-á demonstrar, no presente estudo, que a proposta de Taylor de tratamento da liberdade positiva conduz justamente aos problemas apontados por Berlin em relação à mesma.

Taking as a starting point Taylor's concept about man as a being of meanings, this article examines, in particular, the way that Taylor elaborates his conception of the practical use of reason, recovering some fundamental notions of the phenomenological tradition and hermeneutics, relating to language, such as, the idea of the background, and the incarnated situation of man. Considering that, ultimately, the background is a horizon of previous reference, from the ontological point of view, to the subjective domain of reason in the human agent, the analysis of Taylor ends up favoring certain approaches of contemporary philosophy such as, Heidegger’s existential analytic that aims at leaving aside, paradoxically, the premise of the subject. If we consider this indication, a challenge that remains, then, to the future development of the ways of understanding moral philosophy and philosophical anthropology, is how to link the analysis of the moral problem, in a subject of senses, with the ontological theory of the background that is, however, a-subjective., Tomando como punto de partida el concepto que tiene Taylor acerca del ser humano como un ser de significados, este artículo estudia el modo como Taylor elabora su concepción del uso práctico de la razón, recuperando ciertas nociones fundamentales de la tradición fenomenológica y hermenéutica relativas al lenguaje, como lo son la idea del trasfondo y la situación encarnada del hombre. Puesto que, en definitiva, el trasfondo constituye un horizonte de referencia anterior, desde el punto de vista ontológico, al dominio subjetivo de la razón en el agente humano, el análisis de Taylor termina por favorecer ciertos enfoques de la filosofía contemporánea como, por ejemplo, la analítica existenciaria de Heidegger, que buscan prescindir, paradójicamente, de la premisa del sujeto. Si atendemos a esta indicación, un desafío que resta, pues, al desarrollo futuro de los modos de comprensión de la filosofía moral, y de la antropología filosófica, es el de cómo vincular el análisis del problema moral, de un sujeto de sentidos, con una teoría ontológica del trasfondo que es, en cambio, a-subjetiva.

En este artículo, intentaremos mostrar de manera sintética, las principales, aportaciones que han nutrido el enfoque clásico de la Teoría de la Organización. Las dos teorías que se describen en este artículo son: la teoría de la administración científica del trabajo y la teoría del proceso administrativo

The aim of this work was to investigate the conductor's rehearsal technique, communication and leadership skills with the musicians during rehearsal of contemporary music with instrumental soloist ensemble and symphony orchestra with professional musicians. The methods used were both my artistic work as a conductor through rehearsals and concerts of contemporary music with soloist ensemble Norrbotten NEO and Gävle Symphony Orchestra, and seven interviews with professional conductors and musicians. The artistic work was documented by video recording while the interviews were documented with audio recording. Analyzes of each material were made retrospectively, and was essentially qualitative, although quantitative elements were present.The result shows that the conductor should have a clear baton technique and gestures and clearly sort out the complicated rhythms and instruct musicians. Primarily, the conductor should work with the musical parameters of rhythm/ensemble, dynamics/balance and articulation but it is also important that the conductor can interpret the music and lift it to a higher level.The conclusions are: 1) the more unknown and complex music the more important to convey a musical whole to the individual musician and let it understand its function determined in whole; 2) the fewer musicians in the ensemble the more important to conduct with small gestures, preferably sitting, and to, sensitively through discussion with the musicians, listen to their knowledge and suggestions for musical performance; 3) the more musicians in the ensemble without special knowledge and interest in contemporary music the more important to inspire and motivate the individual musician .The differences between soloist ensemble and orchestra can often be large; it can apply both knowledge of, and interest in, contemporary music as expectations on the conductor’s communication and leadership. In order to make the rehearsal work both promote the artistic end result and contribute, Validerat; 20131010 (global_studentproject_submitter)

This article examines Taylor`s viewpoint on the situation in contemporary secular society from the following itinerary: (1) discuss his philosophical conception of multiculturalism in our societies today, (2) propose a narrative that points to an interpretation of the social, multicultural and secular imaginary, and finally (3) points to the place of philosophical rationality in this route. This analysis assumes the coexistence of individuals, groups and communities, with their ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious traditions that share the same geographic space and is a major feature of our globalized world. On the one hand, within this situation, the consciousness that live together in the world means sharing a collective destiny where socio-cultural effects of globalization transform our mental schemes and also change our forms of social life. Moreover, the possibility of a harmonious coexistence in a society of individuals, groups and communities with different worldviews is a challenge still not entirely solved, Neste artigo, pretende-se interpretar a posição de Taylor sobre a situação da sociedade contemporânea secular a partir do seguinte itinerário: (1) discutindo em grandes linhas sua concepção filosófica da multiculturalidade de nossas sociedades atuais, (2) propondo uma narrativa que aponte para uma interpretação do imaginário social multicultural e secularizado, e finalmente (3) apontando para o lugar da racionalidade filosófica neste percurso. A análise se faz tendo em mente que a coexistência cada vez maior de pessoas, grupos e comunidades, com tradições étnicas, culturais, linguísticas e religiosas das mais diversas, que partilham um mesmo espaço geográfico, é uma das principais características de nosso mundo globalizado. Por um lado, nessa configuração multicultural, é cada vez mais universal a consciência de que viver em comum no mundo é, também, partilhar um destino coletivo onde os efeitos sócio-culturais da globalização transformam nossos esquemas mentais e nossas formas de vida social. Por outro lado, a possibilidade de uma convivência harmônica em uma mesma sociedade de indivíduos, grupos e comunidades com cosmovisões diferentes coloca-se como desafio ainda não de todo equacionado.

This article will try to find approximations, both of numerical and graphical type, to the solutions of initial value problems (IVP) of ordinary differential equations (ODE) by using the Excel spreadsheet, which will allow to do it with some ease. The approximation to the solution is made in two ways: a) making a template of a numerical method in Excel, and b) programming in VBA the method in question. In the first case we will create a series of sheets for each of the methods under study, in which the formulas of the numerical methods will be introduced: Euler, Taylor, Runge-Kutta, etc. In the second case, it will be created a VBA program to automatically generate the data table solution from initial data using any method. In both cases, once the data table is generated you can obtain a graphical approach to the solution by the insertion of a XY graph., En este artículo se va a tratar de encontrar aproximaciones, de tipo numérico y gráfico, a las soluciones de problemas de valor inicial (PVI) de ecuaciones diferenciales ordinarias (EDO) mediante el uso de la hoja de cálculo Excel, la cual va a permitir realizarlo con cierta facilidad. La aproximación a la solución se realiza de dos formas distintas: a) mediante la confección de una plantilla en Excel de un método numérico; b) mediante la programación en VBA de un procedimiento que calcule el método numérico en cuestión. En el primer caso se van a ir creando una serie de hojas para cada uno de los métodos en estudio, en las cuales se introducirán las fórmulas de los métodos numéricos: Euler, Taylor, Runge-Kutta, etc. En el segundo caso se creará un programa en VBA que a partir de unos datos iniciales genere de forma automática la tabla de datos aproximados a la solución aplicando uno u otro método. En cualquiera de los dos casos, una vez obtenida la tabla de datos y mediante la inserción de gráficos XY, se podrá tener una aproximación gráfica a la solución.

El proyecto filosófico de Alasdair MacIntyre ofrece una relectura de la ética de las virtudes de la tradición clásica que debe ser interpretada de manera revolucionaria, en contraposición a una lectura romántica o neoconservadora. La ruptura del orden moral que trajo consigo el advenimiento de la modernidad exige formas de resistencia política y económica ante el poder alienante del capitalismo liberal en su etapa globalizada. Según MacIntyre, entre la progenie del liberalismo moderno, encontramos a Nietzsche, quien desenmascaró la moral moderna como emotivismo. Sin embargo, Nietzsche no dejó de ser parte del proyecto moderno de justificación racional de la moral. De acuerdo con MacIntyre, la auténtica alternativa al proyecto moderno es la rearticulación de una ética de las virtudes en la tradición de Aristóteles y Tomás de Aquino., The philosophical project of Alasdair MacIntyre offers a version of Virtue Ethics that must be interpreted in a revolutionary way, as opposed to a romantic or neoconservative reading. The breakdown of the moral order brought about by the advent of modernity requires forms of political and economic resistance to the alienating power of liberal capitalism in the age of globalization. According to MacIntyre, among the progeny of modern liberalism, we find Nietzsche, who unmasked modern morality as emotivism. However, Nietzsche does not cease to be part of the modern project of rational justification of morality. According to MacIntyre, therefore, the authentic alternative to the modern proyect is the rearticulation of a virtue in the tradition of Aristotle and Aquinas.

[extract] Paul Taylor thought his fifteen minutes came when he scored the last interview with Andy Warhol in 1987. The rest of us think it happened half a decade earlier, with 'POPISM' and the early Melbourne years of Art and Text.

The metacommunity concept provides a useful framework to assess the influence of local and regional controls over diversity patterns. Culture-independent studies of soil microbial communities in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of East Antarctica (77 degrees S) have shown that bacterial diversity is related to soil geochemical gradients, while studies targeting edaphic cyanobacteria have linked local diversity patterns to dispersal-based processes. In this study, we increased the spatial extent of observed soil microbial communities to cover the Beardmore Glacier region in the central Transantarctic Mountains (84 degrees S). We used community profiling techniques to characterize diversity patterns for bacteria and the cyanobacterial subcomponent of the microbial community. Diversity partitioning was used to calculate beta diversity and estimate among-site dissimilarity in the metacommunity. We then used variation partitioning to assess the relationship between beta diversity and environmental and spatial gradients. We found that dominant groups in the soil bacterial metacommunity were influenced by gradients in pH and soil moisture at the Transantarctic scale (800 km). Conversely, beta diversity for the cyanobacterial component of the edaphic microbial metacommunity was decoupled from these environmental gradients, and was more related to spatial filters, suggesting that wind-driven dispersal dynamics created cyanobacterial biogeography at a local scale (<3 km).

A critical examination of a proposed Kantian defence of John Rawls' Fair Equality of Opportunity principle.

By using ‘the return’ as a dialectical figure, the author discusses four contemporary appropriations of Hegelian dialectics – as restoration, recollection, repetition, and interpellation – in relation to the concept of recognition in contemporary political philosophy. They are seen in the light of social and political forces influencing European and North American intellectual debates from the events of 1989 to the aftermath of 9/11. By a critique of Charles Taylor's work, it is argued that Hegelian return conceived as restoration sets recognition as an act of self-appropriation through social mediation. Recognition becomes a means for self-unification through identity affirmation, a coming back to oneself as undistorted. The author subsequently sketches out two alternative appropriations of Hegelian dialectics in relation to questions of recognition: as recollection and repetition. The dialectical return understood as recollection turns recognition into an acknowledgement of intersubjective vulnerability. It sets the return to oneself as a peripeteian force, focusing on the unpredictable rebounding effects of one's own actions, a view advocated by Patchen Markell. Recognition becomes a movement toward self-expropriation if it turns on the necessary failures, indeed, on the impossibility of the return. The return as repetition becomes the place-holder for a unity that will never be. Jean-Luc Nancy is seen as an exponent of this perspective. The author ends by arguing for an understanding of the dialectical return as an interpellative force which turns our attention from recognition to recognizability, that is, from the relation between self and others to the social space and practices governing the space in which people appear as recognizable to each other, in line with the latest work of Judith Butler.

Despite the bad reputation that Hegel’s thought has always enjoyed regarding the respect for individual rights, his conception of freedom has shown an unexpected and permanent relevance. I think this is due to the level of complexity with which Hegel explains the problem of freedom. This paper will develop Hegel’s thesis, according to which freedom is conceived simultaneously as a set and a process of determinations of the will. To illustrate the thesis, I will use two concrete examples. First, in order to show the objective structure of the determinations of freedom, I will refer to the debate between communitarians and liberals in recent Ethics and Political Philosophy, trying to show why both positions refer in some way to a lower level of complexity than the one presented by Hegel. Then, with the aim of showing the current relevance of the notion of freedom as a progressive experience of the acquisition of its own determinations, I will take as an example the interpretation offered by Axel Honneth in his book Leiden an Unbestimmtheit. This way I hope to show the direct or indirect contribution of Hegel to the current debates concerning freedom, Pese a la mala reputación que siempre ha tenido Hegel en materia de respeto a los derechos individuales, su concepción de la libertad ha demostrado poseer una insospechada y permanente actualidad. Ello se debe, a mi modo de ver, al nivel de complejidad en que Hegel nos ha dejado planteado el problema de la libertad. Desarrollaré aquí esta tesis, según la cual la libertad es concebida simultáneamente como un conjunto y como un proceso de determinaciones de la voluntad. Para ilustrarla, me valdré de dos ejemplos concretos. En primer lugar, para mostrar la relevancia de la estructura objetiva de las determinaciones de la libertad, tomaré como ejemplo el debate entre comunitaristas y liberales en la ética y la filosofía política recientes, tratando de explicar por qué ambas posiciones nos remiten en cierto modo a un nivel de menor complejidad que el que nos es presentado por Hegel. En segundo lugar, para mostrar la actualidad de la concepción de la libertad como experiencia progresiva de adquisición de sus determinaciones, tomaré como ejemplo la interpretación que ofrece Axel Honneth en su libro Leiden an Unbestimmtheit. Espero poder poner así de manifiesto la directa o indirecta contribución de Hegel a los debates actuales en torno a la libertad.

I first became interested in literature's vampires as a means to readdress historical representations of colonial encounter when analysing the novels of Australian resistance writer Mudrooroo Nyoongah (aka Colin Johnson, Mudrooroo Narogin, Mudrooroo). Traces of the eternal night wanderer appear in a raft of variations throughout Mudrooroo's body of work, culminating in his trilogy The Undying (1998), Underground (1999) and The Promised Land (2000). The author's first fully developed representation of the vampire as an invading power which rules by coercion without thought for the common good is introduced in The Undying as a white female colonizer named Amelia Frazer (see clark 2006). As I ihave written elsewhere, Mudrooroo's Amelia is a strangely fixed earthy traveller who hunts for her prey across the lenght and breadth of Australia's early colonial landscape. Her horrendous acts of penetration and murder can be read as cruel metaphors for indigenous dispossession, displacement and imposed cultural enfeeblement that are the hallmarks of the colonial enterprise.

Efter millenniumskiftet uppfattas det som närmast ”rätt” att moderna framtidsinriktade verksamheter, stora som små, bör arbeta med kvalitetsstyrning[1]. Åtgärder inom kvalitetsstyrning innebär att moderera och justera tillverkningsprocessen så att de producerade enheterna håller sig till en standard[2]. Företag ställs ständigt inför flera olika alternativ om hur de kan förändra sitt arbetssätt, och öppna sig för att ta till sig olika kvalitetshöjande koncept. Dessa ska leda till att organisationen och dess processer blir mer effektiva och produktiva, för att i sin tur sänka kostnader, maximera vinsten, bemöta kundernas efterfråga, och kunna leverera billigare produkter av högre kvalitet på ett snabbare och enklare sätt. Dessa koncept blir en förutsättning för att företag ska växa och kunna konkurrera på en allt mer konkurrenskraftig företagsmarknad. Motsvarande 10-30% av företagens kostnader beror på kvalitetsbrister (brister inom processerna på produktionen som har inverkan på tid, resultat och effektivitet). Det blir till slut ohållbart för företag som vill växa[3]. Företag tillämpar därför olika välkända koncept, såsom ”Scientific Management” för att höja sin kvalité. Detta examensarbete syftar till att kartlägga den norska livsmedelsproducentens Best Foods verksamhet i fabriken i Sandvika, Norge. Arbetet avser även att jämföra verksamheten med de principer som utgör Scientific Management. Uppsatsens datainsamling baserar sig på en fallstudie byggd på intervjuer med Best Foods ledning och anställda, samt på observationer i Best Foods lokaler. Vidare datainsamling har skett via relaterade internetsidor, artiklar samt litteratur. Vid fördjupade studier med berörda parter för datainsamling har mailkontakt använts. Slutsatsen visar att ledningen omedvetet arbetar efter flera av Scientific Management principer, det vill säga ledningen styr företaget enligt det som anses gynna företaget mest, vilket visar sig få stöd av många av Scientific Managements principer.

Descartes and Kant were right to distinguish between the characteristics of the intelligibleworld in relation to sensitive and critical of such arguments as Dennett's thesis of physicalism to the other,Charles Taylor's theory is something that corroborates this: understanding of what is proper, the Self., Descartes y Kant tenían razón al demarcar las características del mundo intelegible en relación a lo sensible y con tales argumentos se seometen a crítica las tesis de Dennett con respecto al fisicalismo. Por otro lado, la teoría de Charles Taylor es algo que corrobora la comprensión de lo que es, propiamente, el Self

The relationship that developed between the military and the media during the Mexican War is the primary focus of this thesis. This paper looks at the media's coverage of the war from 1846 to 1848, spotlighting a comparison and contrast of the treatment of General Zachary Taylor and General Winfield Scott. Research supports five direct and two indirect relationships that developed between the military and the media during the course of the Mexican War. These relationships illuminate a cooperative partnership, as military leaders and media members recognized shared interests and goals within the context of war. The five direct relationships included the following: (1) the relational impact on political careers of battlefield commanders, (2) the relational impact on reports from the battlefield to government officials in Washington, (3) the relational impact on moral integrity through open criticism of war crimes, (4) the relational impact on military recruiting efforts, and (5) the relational impact on soldier morale. The two indirect relationships between the military and the media were as follows: (1) the relational impact shaped political views of U.S. voters on the subject of war with Mexico, and (2) may have played a role in reducing the length of the war., The original document contains color images.

Artykuł przedstawia podstawowe założenia filozofii komunitariańskiej i wskazuje na sprzeczności w niej występujące. Pozytywną alternatywą względem refleksji komunitarian ma być koncepcja wspólnoty post – tradycyjnej Axela Honnetha., This paper addresses basic assumptions of communitarian philosophy and it points out contradictions in communitarian reflection. Article concludes that conception of Axel Honneth’s post-traditional community is positive alternative for communitarian idea of community.
