Abstract:
Habermas’s translation proviso aims to legitimize religious argumentation in the informal part of the public sphere while requiring religious citizens to express their arguments in the formal part of the public sphere using a universal (secular) language. By considering secular scholars Gonzalo Scivoletto’s and Javier Aguirre’s critiques of the meaning of “translation,” this article highlights the inconsistency of the proviso as manifested in its application to the religious concept of tzimtzum (“divine contraction”), from which Habermas attempts to extract a secular worldview and moral intuit

Abstract:
As a global pandemic is compelling a majority of the world population to physically distance themselves from one another – essentially out of love for fellow humans – we are given a unique lens to explore that a God of love (1 John 4.8, 16) equally keeps himself distant from humanity in certain regards. God distances himself because he loves. Jüngel, Moltmann and others have argued for God’s self-limitation before creation because of his love; it is therefore worthwhile reflecting if this divine self-contraction (or Zimzum) is not analogous to a kind of self-distancing of God from his creation

Abstract:
This paper focuses on the Hasidic view, namely, that human flaws do not function as a barrier between a fallen humanity and a perfect deity, since the whole of creation stems from a divine act of self-contraction. Thus, we need not be discouraged by our own shortcomings, nor by those of our loved ones. Rather, seeing our flaws in the face of another should remind us that imperfection is an aspect of the God who created us. Such a positive approach to human fallibility arouses forgiveness, mutual acceptance, and a hope for repair, and, therefore, has much to recommend itself. In the first part

Abstract:
- The simple preposition "between" has always fuelled the mystic and ontological imagination. In the book Tree of Life compiled by the cabalist Hayyim Vital, a prototype of this tradition is the idea of divine "contraction", the first act of God that left space for the creation of the worlds. Similar concepts can be found in the ontology of Heidegger, where one of the closest words to "being" is "between", the median line marking the difference between "entity" and "being", between "world" and "thing". For Norberg-Schulz, "between" is also the point where Heidegger and Kahn meet. It will be re

Sexually dimorphic sonic muscles, which vibrate the swimbladder for sound production in the oyster toadfish (Opsanus tau), are among the fastest vertebrate muscles.

We now report evidence consistent with the hypothesis that mature, presumably postmitotic, sonic fibers divide, and suggest that division, which returns fibers to small energy-efficient units, is necessary because mitochondria are excluded from the fiber's contractile cylinder.

The spleen has been shown to contract in apneic situations in humans as well as in other diving mammals, expelling its stored red blood cell content into circulation. This natural blood boosting may increase the circulating hemoglobin concentration (Hb) by up to 10%, which would enhance the oxygen carrying capacity and likely increase performance. However, the triggers of this response in humans have not been fully clarified. Study I was therefore focused on the effect of hypoxia as a trigger of spleen contraction.

The liberal-leaning UK welfare state is contracting due to a sharp austerity programme. It is failing to address the challenges of population ageing and globalized competition. Increasingly provision is divided between maintained benefits for pensioners (rising in real terms) and those for working age people (harshly cut back). This gap has been exploited by the Conservative Party for political advantage, leading to a deepening of social divisions.

Abstract It is important that the tubular heart and the four-chambered heart beat in a coordinated fashion to propel blood from the inflow to the outflow. In a straight heart tube, because the myocardium is electrically coupled, the solution is relatively straightforward.

Thus, development of the pacemaking and conduction system represents one of the most intriguing processes in heart development. Coordinated cardiac contractions are regulated by impulses that originate at the sinoatrial (SA) NODE,

Abstract:
During the cooling of an injected polymer, a very strong coupling exists between the thermal and mechanical phenomena. In order to fill in the mold and to compensate the effects of reduction of the thermal shrinkage, the pressure in the molding cavity is maintained to a very high level. The purpose of this paper is to show the essential importance of thermomechanical coupling present during the cooling of a hot polymer in a cold mold via a comparison between experiments and numerical simulation. Experiments show that the polymer-mold contact evolves under the effect of the internal contraction

Abstract:
Objectives 1. Establish diagnostic procedures to identify tolerant carrier birds based on a) Isolation of ALV-J from blood, b) Detection of group-specific antigen in cloacal swabs and egg albumen. Application of these procedures to broiler breeder flocks with the purpose of removing virus positive birds from the breeding program. 2. Survey the AL V-J infection status of foundation lines to estimate the feasibility of the eradication program 3. Investigate virus transmission through the embryonated egg (vertical) and between chicks in the early post-hatch period (horizontal). Establish a model

Abstract:
En el año 2023 se observó una caída en los indicadores de inflación en un contexto de mayores incrementos de las tasas de política monetaria en economías avanzadas, debido a que la inflación aún se ubicaba por encima de la meta de los bancos centrales. En el último trimestre estos bancos indicaron la posibilidad de adoptar una postura menos contractiva en 2024. Durante 2023 el crecimiento económico global superó las expectativas de inicios de año y una disminución en la percepción de riesgo a nivel global, que llevó a que los activos de riesgo, incluyendo las acciones, presentaran un buen dese
