Abstract:
In the present article, we discuss the specificity of the object of the history of science as an autonomous and interdisciplinary field of studies by nature and origin, placed at the interface of history, epistemology and science, and focus on some key historiographical views. Within this context, Georges Canguilhem stands out for contributions such as calling the attention to the relevance of epistemology in science history research and the discontinuity-continuity antithesis, among many others. An accurate understanding of Canguilhem’s ideas demands an unbiased review of Auguste Comte’s work, particularly his views on science in general, the various sciences in particular and the methods to present them, to wit, the historical and the dogmatic. We finish with a short description of our theoretical-methodological work and its implications for studies in the history of science.

Abstract:
The work of Andrija Mohorovičić (1857–1936) had a large impact on the development of seismology, both in Croatia and world-wide. This paper presents a chronological survey of the development of seismology in Croatia providing context for the discovery of the Mohorovičić discontinuity in 1910. The development of early Croatian seismology was strongly influenced by advances in the field made in both Europe and world-wide. It also was influenced by several strong earthquakes that occurred within its territory, most notably the 1880 Zagreb earthquake, and the 1909 Kupa Valley (Pokupsko) earthquake. By studying the seismograms from the Kupa Valley earthquake, Mohorovičić was able to prove the existence of the boundary layer between the Earth's crust and the mantle (the Mohorovičić discontinuity). After Mohorovičić retired in 1921, seismological research in Croatia lost much of it's momentum, and for 20 years no seismological papers were published. After World War II, the Geophysical Institute was incorporated into the Faculty of Science of the University of Zagreb, and seismologists became active once more. Beginning in the second half of the twentieth century, the scientific interests of Croatian seismologists broadened, and international cooperation intensified. During that time, the number of active seismologists in Croatia varied, but never exceeded twelve, all of whom were affiliated with the Department of Geophysics of the Faculty of Science at the University of Zagreb. This small seismological community bore the responsibility of maintaining high standards in seismological research and education, and of keeping Croatian seismology visible in the world of geophysical sciences.

Abstract:
After a flirtation with pure science and the liberal arts, professional education in all fields is once again tool-and-craft oriented. Still, the main tools come from high-status science and humanities. But the sciences now advocate design, holism, purpose, choice, emergentism, anima, history, and discontinuity; whereas the humanities stress ambiguity, incommensurability, impurity, and perversion. What is in prospect is a richer, less reductionistic, view of human nature, social organization, and history. And this in turn will alter the culture and practice of planning and design.

Abstract:
The science of seismology has long wrestled with the problem of discontinuity when evaluating terrestrial phenomena such as earthquakes. Discontinuity arises between the cause of an earthquake and its resulting effects, making it difficult to ascertain what triggered such a seismic occurrence in the first place. This article revisits documented case studies of earthquakes in the United States and the impact of these tectonic upheavals using observations, quantitative measurements and narrative accounts to interrogate the so-called ordered relationship between events and their causes. Architecture as a discipline stands to gain substantial ground through the study of seismology as a discontinuous model of science and of history; diachronic frameworks for comprehending physical evidence are used to reflect on how architects may engage with geological singularities beyond analogy and formal imitation.

Abstract:
Drug research has tended to focus on initiation and progressions of use. In this article we employ event history analysis to test a social learning model to identify factors associated with both the onset and discontinuity of drug use. Eight waves of the National Youth Survey (NYS), a panel study of a national probability sample of youth in the United States, provide fourteen years (1976–1989) of drug use information for 1,172 respondents aged eleven through thirty. Results include the following: once initiation has occurred, drug use is maintained for an extended time; demographic characteristics have very little effect on either initiation or desistance of drug use; variables representing social learning theory are more important in accounting for initiation than discontinuity of drug use; and life events such as marriage and becoming a parent increase the odds of discontinuing drug use.

Abstract:
The present paper is a representation of a systematic inquiry as well as an application of the main thrust in Thomas Kuhn’s discourse concerning the growth of human knowledge represented in philosophy of science. The paper begins by stating the points of tradition and normal science in Thomas Kuhn’s analysis of the growth of scientific knowledge. This is juxtaposed with the notions of discontinuity and revolution. A fundamental point in the paper is that Thomas Kuhn presents an analysis that bring to the fore a tradition of continuous discontinuity. This he expounded in the philosophy of paradigm shifts brought about by crisis and revolution, resulting in the overthrow of an existing hegemony and the birth of a new one. In all, Thomas Kuhn believes that science does not represent a paradigm of rationality because going through the history of science; we are not able to discover a particular paradigm or rationality that runs through the entirety of the history of science. If anything at all, science is made up of different paradigms of rationality, models of knowledge systems of method such that, the change from one scientific epoch to another cannot be a lineal rational or methodic one. Rather, it is a shift from one model to an opposing one; what he calls a gestalt switch which is a change in ‘form of life’, ‘language game’ or ‘conceptual scheme’. The paper however, presents the thesis that even if there is no outstanding form of rationality the history of science is seen to contain a certain continuous tradition. This has to do with the aim of any science. And so, be it the science of Ptolemy, Copernicus or Galileo, Einstein or Newton, there is the aim of human interest transcending all the epochs. To this extent, the paper argues a rationality of any scientific epoch or paradigm must derive from the quality of human interest it potent. Any science be it religion, mysticism or positivism that does not aim at human flourishing is not rational. The paper employs the method of text-analysis, conceptual clarification, constructive criticism and reconstructivism to bring forth its central argument.

Abstracttitle ABSTRACT /title Historians of science have been discussing the degree to which local scientific and social practices and circumstances may be taken into account before 'the history of science' as a coherent narrative implodes. This article argues that museum curators face related issues, albeit of a more complicated order, when deciding how to present historical scientific instruments. A number of these issues are discussed here. One of them concerns 'functional isometry', a term that refers to the ability of an historical instrument to perform its original functions also within the museum. It is shown that 'functional isometry' tends to disappear between the early modern and the modern period, just as the self-explanatory capacity of scientific instruments generally decreases. Indeed, there appears to be a discontinuity between early modern and modern instruments with regard to their ability to be exhibited in their functional context. This article concludes on a reflection on the implication of these findings for science museums.

Abstract:
L’épistémologisation de l’art dentaire se fonde sur l’évolution de deux concepts-clés des sciences de la nature : la matière, objet de la physique et de la chimie, et la vie, objet de la biologie. Elle est marquée par deux grandes discontinuités qui délimitent les trois grandes périodes de son histoire. La première discontinuité se situe au début du 18e siècle quand Fauchard, influencé par les idées de Galilée et de Descartes, fait de l’art dentaire une science de l’ingénieur et l’introduit dans la modernité. La seconde discontinuité a lieu à la fin du 19e siècle, après que l’art dentaire a intégré des concepts-clés énoncés par C. Bernard, Virchow et Pasteur qui accentuent sa biologisation et que des découvertes technologiques révolutionnaires le conduisent à instituer une alliance durable entre science et technique. Au 20e siècle, l’invention technique débouche sur l’affolement technique et la biologisation s’accélère. Alors l’art dentaire prend conscience de la nécessité d’atténuer la discordance entre valeurs organiques et valeurs mécaniques. Ce qui l’amène à renouveler son paysage disciplinaire, à se spécialiser et à adhérer à la pensée complexe. A la fin du 20e siècle, il accède aux mécanismes de la vie et se mêle d’ingénierie tissulaire, d’où de fortes présomptions d’une vaste réforme de son programme épistémologique et thérapeutique au 21e siècle<br>The epistemologisation of the dentistry is based on the evolution of two concept-keys of sciences of nature : matter, object of physics and chemistry, and life, object of biology. It is marked by two great discontinuities which delimit the three great periods of its history. The first discontinuity is at the beginning of the 18th century when Fauchard, influenced by the ideas of Galileo and Descartes, makes dentistry engineering and introduces it into modernity. The second discontinuity takes place at the end of the 19th century, after the dentistry integrated concept-keys stated by C. Bernard, Virchow and Pasteur who accentuate his biologisation and whom revolutionary technological discoveries lead it to institute a durable alliance between science and technology. At the 20th century, the technical invention leads to the technical panic and the biologisation accelerates. Then the dentistry becomes aware of the need for attenuating the discordance between organic values and mechanical values. What leads it to renew its disciplinary landscape, to specialize and adhere to the complex thought. At the end of the 20th century, it reaches the mechanisms of the life and is interfered tissue engineering, from where strong presumptions of a vast reform of its epistemological and therapeutic program to the 21th century

Searching beyond this, to analyze if these justifications are consistent and to identify through which elements they are supported. The investigation is divided into three parts, which correspond to the three chapters of the dissertation, which have the following focus: The subject of science, the object of psychoanalysis and the scientific vocation of psychoanalysis. To bring together science and psychoanalysis, Lacan, in the main text, refuses to include psychoanalysis in the area of human science. Considering this, the research aims to find, through the study of the criticism completed by Lacan, of man as the subject of science, the debate with psychology, implicit in the text. The argument that there is equality between the subject of science and the Freudian unconscious is another focus of this research. Searching to identify the consistency of this argument through the Freudian references that Lacan is examining in the main text. Concluding that psychoanalysis had, and still has, as in Lacan s view, to face two big challenges to be included in the scientific field: the first has to do with the question of the object and the second deals with the differentiation between psychoanalyses and psychology, that the latter seeks to include the first in its set, since it claims for a unity in its field of knowledge<br>A presente pesquisa visa a localizar no texto A Ciência e a Verdade, de Jacques Lacan, publicado em 1966, os argumentos com que ele justifica a vocação científica da psicanálise, e, principalmente, mostra que esta se insere no campo da ciência por meio do sujeito. Procurando, além disso, analisar se essas justificativas são consistentes e em que elementos se apoiam. A investigação está dividida em três partes, que correspondem a três capítulos da Dissertação, as quais têm os seguintes focos: o sujeito da ciência, o objeto da psicanálise e a vocação científica da psicanálise. Para aproximar a psicanálise da ciência, Lacan, no texto base, recusa, no entanto, incluir a psicanálise no bojo das ciências humanas. Em face disso, este trabalho objetiva encontrar, mediante o estudo da crítica, empreendida por Lacan, ao homem como objeto da ciência, o debate com a psicologia, implícito no texto. O argumento de que há equivalência entre o sujeito da ciência e o inconsciente freudiano é outro foco desta pesquisa. Buscar-se-á identificar, na leitura das referências freudianas apresentadas por Lacan no texto base, a coerência desta argumentação. Chega-se à conclusão de que a psicanálise tinha, e continua tendo, como na visão de Lacan, de enfrentar dois grandes obstáculos para localizar-se no campo científico: o primeiro, dizendo respeito ao debate, que se dá, em seus termos próprios, na ciência, sobre a questão do objeto, e o segundo, acerca da diferenciação em relação à psicologia, que visa a incluí-la em seu conjunto, na medida em que busca a unidade enquanto campo do saber

Aliado à questão histórica do continuísmo ou descontinuísmo, estão os aspectos internalista e externalista na história das ciências, onde se discute se as teorias científicas, bem como a construção do próprio método científico são ou não produzidas por elementos exteriores a elas (aspectos políticos, econômicos etc.). Crombie sugere que a Revolução Científica seja fruto de uma nova concepção metodológica (método experimental) surgida no século XIII, através de Roberto Grosseteste e que Galileu e os cientistas modernos foram herdeiros desta nova concepção metodológica, porém levando-a à perfeição epistemológica. Koyré discorda desta visão crombiana apontando para o aspecto metafísico do pensamento moderno, que seria a construção de uma nova concepção de realidade refletida na nova metodologia científica.<br>Crombie and Koyré, philosophers and historians of sience, argue strongly about the possibility of continuity or discontinuity between the medieval and modern sciences, questioning fundamental aspects of scientific methodology in these two historic periods, generating an impasse regarding the history location of Scientific Revolution. Allied to this historic discussion about continuity or discontinuity, are the epistemological aspects of internalism and externalism in the history of science, where it discusses whether scientific theories, as well as the construction of own scientific method are or not produced by foreign elements to them (political, economic aspects etc.). Crombie suggests that scientific revolution is the result of a new methodological concept (experimental method) that arose in the 13th century, by Robert Grosseteste and that Galileo and modern scientists were heirs of this new methodological conception, but taking it to the epistemological perfection. Koyré disagrees with this crombian view pointing to metaphysical aspect of the modern thought, which would be the construction of a new conception of reality reflected in the new scientific methodology.

Abstract:
Masters of Art<br>The writing of history in postapartheid South Africa constitutes a crisis for the discipline of history as, I argue, it requires the discipline to confront its role in contributing towards the constitution of the condition of possibility of the discourse of apartheid. Stated differently, the relationship between the discipline of history and nationalist or identity politics, a relationship that is characterized by history performing the role of alibi, is highlighted as problematic within the question of the postapartheid. It is in this context that I want to broach the concept of the historical playas an antidisciplinary object that works to unsettle the discipline of history and thereby its role as alibi. Such an engagement with the historical play would, I argue, enable a progressive politics of the sort that Michel Foucault calls for. In his essay 'History, Discourse and Discontinuity' (1972) which he wrote in response to a question posed to him of the possibility of resistance within the corpus of his work, Foucault argues that a progressive politics would be one that takes into account a discourse's conditions of possibility - one that limits the claims of discourses on life through defining their grammars, as it were." While this current study does not seek to, and also does not claim to, subject the discourse of history to such a critique (I am not proposing to investigate the emergence of the discipline), Foucault's understanding of a progressive politics is especially significant to it. Particularly, rather than reading for the grammar of history - this has been done by others such as (but not limited to) Gayatri Spivak, Hayden White and Friederich Nietzsche and will be discussed later - this dissertation starts from the position that the discipline of history played (and plays) a fundamental role in establishing the conditions of possibility of the discourse of apartheid." This is not to argue that apartheid can be reduced to an outworking of nationalist history (apartheid as a discursive field).

Full text
Abstract:
After the collapse of communism in Romania, in December 1989, nationalism played an important role in the development of political life. This thesis proposes an explanation for why this has been the case. I identify the Greater Romania Party as the most representative nationalist political formation in post-communist Romania and examine it as my case-study. My analysis distinguishes the core aspects of the PRM's ideology and studies how its discourse is constructed. In doing so, I argue that the success of the party could only be explained by the fact that it employs a nationalist discourse that has been consistently and continuously used over a long period of time in Romania. I begin by engaging with the debates about nationalism in order to establish a theoretical framework, which in turn provides my analytical device to examine Romanian nationalist movements in three different political, social and cultural time frames. I use this analytical tool to identify a set of themes that characterise the nationalist discourse in all the periods I examine, and to show that these themes cut across chronological sequence, political purpose and social and cultural contexts. Alongside with the continuity of the nationalist discourse across time, I argue that authoritarian tradition and the conditions of the transition from communism in Romania are also factors that contribute to the persistence of nationalist tendencies in post-1989 Romanian politics. The analysis of the case-study draws on these findings and shows that the same core ideological elements used effectively in the past are exploited again, by the PRM, in yet another context, with the same degree of success. The thesis, therefore, aims to examine the most significant nationalist party in post-communist Romania, to explain the background in which it operates and to focus on the ideological tools it uses in order to rally the support of the electorate, by mapping out the particular type of nationalist discourse, which recurs in different historical political and social circumstances in Romania.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 89-102).<br>A petrological and metamorphic comparison of Mesoproterozoic metabasic rocks on the easern margin of the Archaean Grunehogna Craton and the adjacent Maud Belt in western Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica, revealed a difference in peak metamorphic conditions from T = ~275° to 730°C and P=2 to 10.7 kbar over a distance of only 30 km across a major glacial valley. The lower grade constraints were derived from average P-T calculations using THER-MOCALC and thermodynamic modeling of phase equilibria together with chlorite geothermometry. The high-grade P-T constraint for the westernmost part of the Maud Belt closest to the glacier, derived from hornblende-plagioclase thermometry and geobarometric calculations with a garnet amphibolite assemblage, is very similar to that reported for the eastern Maud Belt and, therefore, does not support the concept of a westward decreasing metamorphic field gradient as previously proposed. In conjunction with a recent geochronological study on the eastern Maud Belt, this study suggests that the inferred sub-glacial boundary between the Grunehogna Craton and the Maud Belt, known as the Pencksökket-Jutulstraumen Discontinuity, may represent a major thrust that developed during Pan-African orogenesis (possibly as the continuation of the East African Mozambique Belt into East Antarctica) prior to extension and its development as a normal listric fault or succession of fault slices during the Mesozoic break-up of Gondwana.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is a tentative application of Foucault’s archaeological method to the English common law. The project is an attempt at explaining and demonstrating the specific attributes of the method in terms of a contribution to an understanding of the law as both continuous and discontinuous. From the understanding applied in this thesis, an application of the archaeological method requires a careful examination of the monuments of a discourse. The monuments that are examined in this project are a number of negligence law judgments. The authors of the monuments are seen as the sum of the practices that constitute them. That is, in this application of the method to the law, the judges are not considered as authors, instead, the judgments they write are seen as reflecting the practices of the legal discourse. The most fundamental of these discursive practices, from the perspective applied in this thesis is the repetition of past legal statements in the production of judgments. In the understanding of law adopted in this project, cases are treated as sites within which judges choose from a number of possible legal statements made by preceding judges. The common law, then, is seen as representing a process in which statements by particular judges in specific cases are valorised, primarily through repetition, until the alternative utterances are largely, but never completely, excluded. The application of the archaeological method to these negligence decisions demonstrates the operation of the discursive practice of repetition. The application provides a framework for appreciating the way in which the law can change without losing its continuity and legitimacy. The project examines cases between 1750 and 1972 and demonstrates that, despite apparently radical changes in the articulations of liability, from the writ system to the duty of care, the law has maintained its structure through the reproduction of the discursive practices that constitute members of the legal profession.

Abstract:
It was experienced that a very small time step may be needed in the solution of the shock response from an impulse. In fact, this time step might be much smaller than the time step to have accurate representation of the impulse and negligible period distortion. It is theoretically verified that this difficulty is arising from the discontinuity in external force at the end of an impulse. In addition, a technique to estimate the relative amplitude error caused by this discontinuity is also developed. In fact, the accuracy of the shock response from a linear impulse is thoroughly explored both in amplitude and in period. Analytical results show that the accuracy is almost entirely dominated by the relative amplitude error tbr the impulse with significant discontinuity in external force at the end of the loading duration. Meanwhile, for the impulse without any discontinuity numerical accuracy is controlled by the relative period error in the solution of the shock response. Finally, guidelines to have accurate shock response from an impulse are proposed.

Abstract:
Abstract Origami concept came up as an emerging technique for sheet metal bending or folding and is called as Origami-based sheet metal (OSM) folding. This process fits right in criteria of effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainable manufacturing due to minimal resources required to make the fold or bend. In this process, the line was created on which the bend was supposed to perform. Traditionally the intermittent material was removed from that line with a through cut. Then the bend was performed. During bending the force required was very less and thus it can also be called as easy bend operation. Because the material and removed all the way through the thickness of the metal, these part after bending cannot be used to contain particles smaller than the cut width or liquid solution due to leakage issue. To overcome this issue, this paper investigates the material discontinuities with a blind cut, where the material through the thickness was not completely removed. For this 4 sample types were created. Three additional variables were added in placing the sample during bend operation. Experiments were performed and bending deformation and springback were analyzed. After analyzing the results, it was found that significant thickness difference regions in the sample, smaller clearance, smaller width or cut, and width of cut facing punch are the best variable to have a better bending and less springback.

Abstract:
Our study’s main object is travel anthropology, the branch of science that studies the history and nature of man, socio-cultural space, social relations, and structures by gathering information during short and long journeys. The publication aims to research the theoretical foundations and genesis of travel anthropology, outline its fundamental principles, and highlight interaction with related sciences. The article’s defining objectives are the analysis of the synthesis of fundamental research approaches in travel anthropology and their implementation in journalism. When we analyze what methods are used by modern authors, also called «cultural observers», we can return to the localization strategy, namely the centering of the culture around a particular place, village, or another spatial object. It is about the participants-observers and how the workplace is limited in space and time and the broader concept of fieldwork. Some disciplinary practices are confused with today’s complex, interactive cultural conjunctures, leading us to think of a laboratory of controlled observations. Indeed, disciplinary approaches have changed since Malinowski’s time. Based on the experience of fieldwork of Svitlana Aleksievich, Katarzyna Kwiatkowska-Moskalewicz, or Malgorzata Reimer, we can conclude that in modern journalism, where the tools of travel anthropology are used, the practical methods of complexity, reflexivity, principles of openness, and semiotics are decisive. Their authors implement both for stable localization and for a prevailing transition.
