Abstract:
Alvin R. Jennings (1905–1990) was a rare breed of an accountant. He was trained as a practitioner and rose to become a managing partner at Lybrand, Ross Bros. & Montgomery, but he kept a constant watch on the academic field of accounting research. Jennings served on the influential American Institute of Accountants' Committee on Auditing Procedure (1946–49) and later as the president of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (1957–58). This paper explores these activities and Jennings' contribution to the professional, academic, and institution discourse of the accounting discipline.

Abstract:
This paper examines the causal theory of knowledge put forth by Alvin Goldman in his 1967 paper “A Causal Theory of Knowing.” Goldman contends that a justified, true belief is knowledge if and only ifit is causally connected to the fact that makes it true. This paper provides examples, however, of justified, true beliefs with such causal connections that are clearly not knowledge. The paper further shows that attempts to salvage the causal theory are unsatisfactory.

Abstract:
AbstractAlvin Plantinga over the decades has developed a particular theory of warrant that would allow certain beliefs to be warranted, even if one lacked propositional arguments or evidence for them. One such belief that Plantinga focuses on is belief in God. There have been, however, numerous objections both to Plantinga's theory of warrant and to the religious application that he makes of it. In this article I address an objection from both of these categories. I first tackle an objection that attempts to show that proper function isn't a necessary condition for warrant. After tackling this, I move on to interact with the Pandora's Box Objection. This objection argues that Plantinga's epistemology is weakened by the fact that all sorts of serious religious beliefs could be warranted by using his system.

Abstract:
Dry milling of hardened steel is an economical and environmentally friendly machining process for manufacturing a mold and die. Advances in coating technology makes the dry milling a feasible approach instead of a traditional grinding process. However, the cutting condition is particularly severe in a dry machining process. High-performance coating is desired to meet the requirement of green and highly efficient manufacturing. This study concerned the performance of AlTiN-based coatings. The effect of Al content, and the AlTiN composite coating on the cutting performance of tools are investigated in terms of friction force at the tool–chip interface, specific cutting energy, cutting temperature on the machined surface, tool wear pattern and mechanism, and surface integrity. The results show that advanced AlTiN-based coatings reduce the force and cutting energy and protect the cutters from the high cutting temperature effectively. The main wear mechanisms of the coated tools are adhesive wear, chipping induced by fatigue fracture and abrasive wear. In general, the dry milling of hardened steel with AlTiN-based coatings gains a quite satisfactory surface quality. Furthermore, AlTiN-WC/C hard-soft multilayer coating performs well in reducing cutting force, preventing adhesion wear and isolating the cutting heat, being suitable for dry milling of hardened SKD11.

Abstract:
Alvin Plantinga verdedigt een externalistische kentheorie ten aanzien van religieus geloof. In dit artikel beargumenteer ik dat een internalistische benadering meer recht doet aan de manier waarop veel mensen hun relatie ten aanzien van geloven ervaren: geloven gaat vaak gepaard met twijfel, en iemand moet in zijn of haar (on)geloof vaak afwegingen maken tussen argumenten voor en tegen het bestaan van God. In Plantinga’s theorie wordt er aan het metafysische probleem of er al dan niet een God bestaat te weinig recht gedaan, waardoor er tevens te weinig ruimte wordt geboden voor wederzijds respect tussen gelovigen en niet gelovigen.

Full text
Abstract:
In the first part of this paper I argue that even if at first Alvin Plantinga’s reasons for allowing special divine action seem similar to those of Thomas Aquinas, particularly in De Potentia Dei for allowing miracles, the difference in their metaphysical language makes Aquinas’ account less prone to the objections raised against Plantinga’s. In the second part I argue that Plantinga errs when recurring to quantum mechanics for allowing special divine action, making God to be a cause among causes. Thomas Aquinas, by speaking of primary and secondary causality when referring to God’s activity, avoids taking this step, evading the conclusion that God could be seen as a cause among causes. Aquinas, however, maintains in a statement which goes beyond Plantinga’s, that God’s providence requires the universe to be indeterministic because this indeterministic feature makes the universe more perfect.

Neste artigo, discutiremos o naturalismo de Alvin Goldman em relação à questão da normatividade da epistemologia. Para isso, revisamos a apresentação que este autor faz do conhecimento e da justificação entendidas sob um enfoque naturalista. Pretende-se entender como Goldman incorpora elementos da epistemologia especulativa tradicional ao seu ponto de vista naturalista. Apresentamos algumas distinções, feitas pelo próprio Goldman, a fim de esclarecer as diferentes abordagens que uma postura naturalista na epistemologia pode ter e discutir sua formulação de um naturalismo moderado. No final, procuramos apresentar algumas fragilidades dessa pretensão para pensar sobre a questão de se um naturalismo moderado é necessário. Abstract In this paper, we will discuss Alvin Goldman's naturalism in relation to the question of the normativity of epistemology. For this, we review the presentation that this author makes of knowledge and justification understood under a naturalistic approach. It is intended to understand how Goldman incorporates elements of traditional speculative epistemology to his naturalistic point of view. We present some distinctions, made by Goldman himself, in order to clarify the different approaches that a naturalist stance in epistemology can take and to discuss his formulation of a moderate naturalism. In the end, we try to present some weaknesses of this pretension to think about the question of whether a moderate naturalism is necessary.

Crawford, Karie Eliza. "Turbulent Times: Epic Fantasy in Adolescent Literature." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2002. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/84.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is a development of the theories presented by Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, and Bruno Bettelheim concerning archetypes, the anima/animus concept, the Hero Cycle, and identity development through fairy tales. I argue that there are vital rites of passage missing in Anglo-Saxon culture, and while bibliotherapy cannot replace them, it can help adolescents synthesize their experiences. The theories of Jung, Campbell, and Bettelheim demonstrate this concept by defining segments of the story and how they apply to the reader. Because of the applicability, readers, despite their age, can use the examples in the book to help reconcile their own experiences and understand life as it relates to them. The works I examine include J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, Orson Scott Card's Alvin Maker series, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea trilogy, and David Eddings' Belgariad. Though it is impossible to test the effects of reading such works on readers, the possibility of those effects exists. Bettelheim's work, The Uses of Enchantment, discusses similar themes and he provides scientific support through his use of anecdotal evidence. Following his example, I have tried to include evidence from my own life that exemplifies the effect reading epic fantasy has had on me. The aspects of epic fantasy in relation to going through adolescence I examine include the concept of responsibility and its relation to progress and maturity; gaining a social identity; and reconciling oneself to the dark side within and without, in society. These aspects are found within the superstructure of the Hero Cycle and the actions and motivations of the characters—archetypes—within the cycle. They are also present in real life and necessary concepts to understand to be accepted into society as a mature contributor.

Full text
Abstract:
In Outside the Metropolitan Frame: The Nouvelle Vague and the Foreign, 1954-1968 I examine the significance of the Nouvelle Vague directors’ engagement with the world beyond metropolitan France, through formal analyses of seminal films by Jean-Luc Godard, Chris Marker, Alain Resnais, and Jean Rouch, as well as close readings of archival documents pertaining to their promotion and reception. I contend that the directors of the Nouvelle Vague were concerned with the shifts in national, transnational and colonial dynamics that marked their era. I demonstrate that their texts and films are structured by a dialectical relationship between a gaze turned outwards onto the world beyond metropolitan France, and a gaze turned inwards, onto the French. In my first three chapters, I inscribe the Nouvelle Vague in a cultural longue durée by examining its formal and thematic continuities with the tradition of French ethnography; the inter-war artistic movement, Surrealism; and the cinéma vérité documentary tradition of the early 1960s. I illustrate that the films of the Nouvelle Vague were fundamentally shaped by their directors’ engagement with the decolonization of the French empire. In my final chapter, I reexamine the most conspicuous example of foreign influence on the Nouvelle Vague, American cinema, in light of my preceding demonstrations. I determine that there are two levels of foreign influence on the Nouvelle Vague, and that the influence of American cinema was above all textual and superficial, whereas a grappling with the end of the French empire was, though far less conspicuous, fundamental to the form of the Nouvelle Vague films themselves.

Objects of Memory is a master's dissertation in Multimedia Art with a theoreticalpractical nature, which we analyze the concept of memory associated with the postcard’s object. Starting from the aggregation of dichotomous concepts such as memory / myth and Gestalt / narrative unit, we explore relationships based in a construction of the visuality having as resource the static image and the moving image, which intersection is made from the photography with the video. For an interpretation of the postcard and its artistic faculties as an object, we evoke the Mail Art approaching the use of postcards by the Fluxus Group and by artists such as Robert Filliou and Ray Johnson, who in the late 1950s used postcards as artistic objects to communicate with other artists around the world. Gathering the works of Alain Resnais, Chris Marker, Marcel Broodthaers, Orhan Pamuk and Óscar Muñoz, we observed possible relations with the concept of memory within the scope of the project, specifically the work methodology inserted in narrative and visual discourse. For the Objects of Memory final project, we have been developed three videos - Eraser River, Vanishing and I Remember - each one representing a postcard to be projected through a device. From the intersection of images we explored a working methodology that allowed to create visual events with the purpose of transforming theperception of the postcard as a whole. For this, we connected static images (photography) with images in motion (video) through the process of cut, collage and assembly to ensure a logical and perceptive speech in the body’s postcard. Although independent, each one of these videos tries to express the concept of object of memory preserving, in this way, a relation with images of the past which appear analogous to the transformation of a still image into a moving image

Abstract:
Chapter 6 looks at avant garde music from John Cage and David Tudor to La Monte Young, Pauline Oliveros, and Alvin Lucier to theoretical work in musicology that has questioned the limits of a sound-based music. The chapter also discusses the Romantic trope of the aeolian lyre in Shelley and Coleridge who wrote several poems about hearing the music of nature played by the wind across the strings of a small stringed instrument placed in the casement window. Later variants of the aeolian lyre by Catherine Yass and others provide contemporary, site-specific installations to re-enact this phenomenon. The second half of the chapter studies the work of artist and film maker Alison O’Daniel, whose epic film series The Tuba Thieves represents some of these issues from the artist’s deaf and hard-of-hearing perspective.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter probes the limits of Badiou’s “formalised inhumanism”, arguing that it is wrong to characterise the figure of the human that emerges in Badiou’s thought as radically new. For both Badiou and his antagonists the human is irreducibly composite: it cannot be what it is without a constitutive relation to an instance of inhumanity or non-humanity outside itself. Badiou’s split anthropology of the “human animal” and the “immortal” faces a major structural and ethical problem, arising from the way in which he seeks to understand the relation between the animal and immortal: he makes fidelity to a truth, and therefore humanity in its full sense, contingent upon an individual’s possession of the capacity for affirmative thought. Such thought functions for Badiou as a ‘host capacity’, a boundary marker of the uniqueness of humanity among animal, organic and non-organic entities. Despite exploring several creative ways to overcome the problems caused by this ‘host capacity’ account of humanity, the chapter concludes that it casts a shadow over his claim that “several times in its brief existence, every human animal is granted the chance to incorporate itself into the subjective present of a truth”.

That victory—the high point of his career—would inaugurate decades of control by former Confederates and, ironically, make it nearly impossible for men like Duvall, who had remained loyal to the Union during the war, to be elected to high office in the state.

Abstract:
The statue is a significant motif in many key films of the European modernist cinema of the 1950s and 1960s. Famous examples are Les Statues meurent aussi (Alain Resnais and Chris Marker, 1953), Viaggio in Italia (Roberto Rossellini, 1953), L’Année dernière à Marienbad (Alain Resnais, 1961), La Jetée (Chris Marker, 1962), Jules et Jim (François Truffaut, 1962), Méditerranée ( Jean-Daniel Pollet, 1963), Le Mépris ( Jean-Luc Godard, 1963), Il Gattopardo (Luchino Visconti, 1963), Une Femme mariée ( Jean-Luc Godard, 1964), Gertrud (Carl Theodor Dreyer, 1964), and Vaghe stelle dell’orsa (Luchino Visconti, 1965). Focusing on Rossellini’s Viaggio in Italia (Journey to Italy, 1953) and Resnais’ L’Année dernière à Marienbad (Last Year in Marienbad, 1961) as cases in point, this chapter not only traces the fascination for sculpture in modernist cinema but also explains it by examining the ways in which statues are presented as tokens of death, time, history, myth, memory, the human body, and strategies of doubling – important topics for many of the leading modernist directors working in the 1950s and 1960s.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter locates the roots of the Marxist theory of revolutionary change in G.W.F. Hegel’s philosophy. In the well-known formula, cumulative changes in quantitative properties give rise to a qualitative leap into the future. However, the chapter argues that the idea rests on shaky ontological foundations. Through a close reading of the Science of Logic, it is shown that Hegel’s idea of leaps relies on excising irrational numbers. To make his dialectical transitions work, Hegel has to dialecticise the mathematical infinite and ignore scientific epistemological breaks from the classical period onwards. This compares unfavourably to Alain Badiou, who makes Georg Cantor’s breakthrough with transfinite set theory the lynchpin for his discontinuous philosophy of events. The final section argues that Hegel’s notion of quantity to quality leaps is also complicit with the reformism and technological determinism promoted by key thinkers of Second International Marxism.

Full text
Abstract:
To conclude Part One’s dual attention to the philosophical tradition’s plastic formation and Malabou’s own plastic relation to her philosophical heritage, this chapter focuses on nothing short of the subject of philosophy itself. Malabou draws a connection between Jacques-Alain Miller’s argument (via Frege and Lacan) that the number ‘zero’ marks the placeholder of the subject; Alain Badiou’s insistence that any subject-function remains alien to science and belongs to order of philosophy, which is to say ideology; and Jacques Derrida’s positioning of the literature’s ‘non-response’ as a disruption of philosophical knowledge. Malabou argues that these three accounts of philosophy’s relations to its others attempt to make philosophy ‘ontologically responsible’ for science. Cast in the style of a ‘response’ to these thinkers, of a response that calls into question the very structure of a response, this text concludes by leaving in suspension the question of what it means to do philosophy.

Full text
Abstract:
Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are economically competitive nuclear power systems aimed to provide sustainable clean safe and reliable nuclear energy free from the risk of fissile material proliferation. They are smaller versions of the present-day large nuclear power reactors with additional design simplifications, improved and reliable passive safety systems incorporating innovative concepts. With the intrinsic advantage of high power density and carbon-free emissions, SMRs and especially their innovative features are the signals for a nuclear comeback, or in Dr Alvin Weinberg’s words “the second nuclear era” in many ways. According to some estimates, there could be up to 96 SMRs by 2030. This paper addresses three vital areas to the understanding of the SMR’s in emerging global environments: (i) design, (ii) production of plutonium during operation, and (iii) their scope of applications. A representative, though very small SMR, Toshiba’s innovative 4S design is used for presenting estimates of plutonium production which are applicable to other SMRs as well. To better understand the viability of SMRs, this work considers the emerging developers, exporters and markets where SMRs can make significant improvements to the overall socio-economic development of societies challenged with formidable barriers.
