Abstract:

This paper explores the scientific, ethical, and technological dimensions of cryonics—the preservation of human remains at ultra-low temperatures with the hope of future revival when medical advancements permit. Originating from Robert Ettinger's 1960s proposition, cryonics challenges traditional notions of mortality. This study examines current cryonics technology, particularly vitrification methods used to prevent ice crystal formation during freezing, as practiced by institutions like the Cryonics Institute and Alcor Life Extension Foundation. While successful human revival has yet to be ac

Abstract:

In 2003, Estudio Urbano in partnership with master planner Leon Krier, proposed a new traditional town as an extension of Guatemala City: Ciudad Cayalá. Its goal is to create a humane, hospitable urban environment that fosters a strong sense of community, while generating local employment opportunities and a vibrant commercial and civic life. Paseo Cayalá is the first built quarter that is intended to serve as a model for future growth. It revives Guatemala’s unique architectural identity and offers a way of life radically different from the typically disconnected, car-oriented developments. T

In this paper, for the case of “service life extension” with the same capacity for wind turbines, a structural safety evaluation was carried out to determine whether to extend the service life of the aged foundation. As a result of this study, it was found that the aged foundation satisfies the structural safety of material strength, ultimate strength, fatigue life, and serviceability up to the present. Although the in-service period has been over 16 years, it has been shown that the material properties of concrete have exceeded the design strength, and no significant material deterioration ha

The first part of the article examines the phenomenon of metaphor in its ontological sense – as an integral part of the poetic worldview. Using the example of the famous extended metaphor in describing the ball in Nikolai Gogol’s novel “Dead Souls”, we discuss the extension of meanings that occurs at the level of aesthetics as a direct effect of the metaphor. In the second part of the article, the metaphor is considered as a supporting element of the poetic construction, which in a certain sense plays the role of an invariant in the process of poetic translation.

Virtue is the fundamental factor for the glory and elevation of human life. A man can reach highest position in life if he follows virtue in every little action of his life.

He considered virtue as a reaction to his good and bad deeds, and wrote it in literature that life without virtue is futile and he who does not practice virtue is not a human being.

I argue that one of the fundamental conflicts between Socrates and his interlocutors (Gorgias, Polus, and Callicles) in the Gorgias concerns the nature of human freedom. Against the increasingly grandiose and aggressive claims of his interlocutors, Socrates sees true freedom as requiring discipline in speech and deed. Plato has Socrates argue for a concept of human freedom that finds its fulfillment in happiness only by being channeled through the funnels of philosophy and justice. Central to this Platonic understanding of freedom is the role of eros and imitation. Socrates’s love of truth is

This is a problem that pertains especially to Mannerism and the baroque, which rely heavily on the vocabulary of force and movement that has invested the field of art since the Renaissance. Although these styles are still dominated by classical figuration, they also introduce all sorts of distortions, deformations, and exaggerations in it. Manner

Structural vibration monitoring can aid in assessing offshore platform structural integrity. The method utilizes topside acceleration measurements to detect the platform’s natural periods of vibration; the periods depend only on platform weights (mass) and resistance (stiffness). If the platform’s natural period increases over time, in the absence of a change in mass, it can indicate a loss of structural integrity. The vibration survey utilizes a portable monitoring system, which includes sensitive low frequency accelerometers. The above water monitoring provides information on the below water
