Abstract:

Fifty years of debate have strengthened Germain Grisez’s 1965 interpretation of St. Thomas Aquinas’s famous article on the natural law in Summa theologiae I-II.94.2. Revisiting Grisez’s argument in light of these developments reveals that his “gerundive interpretation” of the first principle of practical reason is not only Thomistic, but essentially Aquinas’s interpretation.

Abstract:

An ergot alkaloid, 2-Br-alfa-ergocriptin, and its effect on lactation in rats was first mentioned by E. Fluckiger and H. Wagner in the twenty-fourth issue, published in 1968, of the journal "Experientia". Initially, this work did not attract much attention; however, after the isolation of pure prolactin, and the establishment of its physiological role, the high efficacy of bromocriptine in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia quickly became clear. Bromocriptine has been actively studied not only by American and European scientists but also in the USSR since 1975. Bromocriptine was used in the treatment of persistent lactorrhea and amenorrhea, acromegaly, and also the drug was experimentally prescribed for Itsenko Cushings disease. Unique data about the children of mothers with hyperprolactinemia who received bromocriptine therapy was collected in the USSR. Bromocriptine also made a huge contribution to the treatment of Parkinsons disease, for which it has been used since the 1960s. Much later, in 2009, bromocriptine in small doses was approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Currently, different studies of the effect of bromocriptine on various metabolic pathways are continuing. Thus, even 50 years after the discovery of bromocriptine, not all of its effects are well studied, and this world-famous drug continues to raise more and more new questions for scientists and doctors.

Abstract:

In 1968, Napa County, California, created an agricultural preserve of 23,000 acres zoned for agriculture, wineries, and houses with a large minimum lot size of twenty acres. Over time, the agricultural preserve was expanded to 32,000 acres and the zoning tightened to a forty-acre minimum lot size. Concerns about nonfarm development and marketing activities at wineries compelled county voters to pass three referenda that limited population growth in the countryside and required a countywide vote for any zoning changes in the agricultural preserve. Thanks in part to the agricultural preserve, Napa County became America’s most famous wine-producing region.

I am writing this on a significant anniversary in American history, and I would be remiss in not acknowledging it. Fifty-seven years ago, hundreds of thousands of people came together to march on Washington for jobs and freedom. Attendees heard from a number of civil rights activists including Myrlie Evers, Mahalia Jackson, John Lewis, A. Phillip Randolph, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; this is when the latter gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech.

Abstract:

In this paper I research famous Serbian music event, the Dragačevo Trumpet Festival, better known as the Guča festival, by analysing on line photographs about the festival. The Dragačevo Trumpet Festival is one of the most famous music festivals in Serbia and one of the most famous brass band festivals in the world. Since 1961, it is annually held in the village of Guča in western Serbia. From 1962, the participants from other parts of Serbia came to Guča, while in 1963 for the first time the Roma players participated. From that time on, Roma remained among the best trumpeters at the competitions. However, during these fifty years, the festival always demonstrated and was conceptualised as the carrier of the Serbian folk tradition and culture. In my research I use visitors’ photographs available on one of the websites dedicated to Guča, www.guca.rs, in order to question how the festival’s photographs visually represent the Serbs. The main goal of the paper is to explain and show how Guča festival found its place in modern Serbia in spite of its rural, folk, barbarian and sometimes nationalist representation.

Abstract:

“The world truly shares a common fate.” These words seem to resonate with Immanuel Kant's famous statement that “a violation of right on one place of the earth is felt in all.” Yet, they are not from his Toward Perpetual Peace but from the UN Millennium Project report. What makes our world one of “overlapping communities of fate” are first and foremost the “interconnected threats and challenges” we face in our globalizing age. During the last fifty years we witnessed an enormous growth of transboundary problems – climate change, migration, terrorism, infectious diseases, violent conflicts etc.

Abstract:

Object It has been hypothesized that specific brain regions involved in face naming may exist in the brain. To spare these areas and to gain a better understanding of their organization, the authors studied patients who underwent surgery by using direct electrical stimulation mapping for brain tumors, and they compared an object-naming task to a famous face–naming task. Methods Fifty-six patients with brain tumors (39 and 17 in the left and right hemispheres, respectively) and with no significant preoperative overall language deficit were prospectively studied over a 2-year period. Four patients who had a partially selective famous face anomia and 2 with prosopagnosia were not included in the final analysis. Results Face-naming interferences were exclusively localized in small cortical areas (< 1 cm2). Among 35 patients whose dominant left hemisphere was studied, 26 face-naming specific areas (that is, sites of interference in face naming only and not in object naming) were found. These face naming–specific sites were significantly detected in 2 regions: in the left frontal areas of the superior, middle, and inferior frontal gyri (p < 0.001) and in the anterior part of the superior and middle temporal gyri (p < 0.01). Variable patterns of interference were observed (speech arrest, anomia, phonemic, or semantic paraphasia) probably related to the different stages in famous face processing. Only 4 famous face–naming interferences were found in the right hemisphere. Conclusions Relative anatomical segregation of naming categories within language areas was detected. This study showed that famous face naming was preferentially processed in the left frontal and anterior temporal gyri. The authors think it is necessary to adapt naming tasks in neurosurgical patients to the brain region studied.

Abstract:

Professor Gwendolen Rees, or Gwen as she prefers to be known, was educated at the Intermediate School for Girls, Aberdare, between 1918 and 1924. Aberdare, a valley community in South Wales was, in the nineteenth century, world-famous as a centre for the Welsh iron and coal industry. Unlike its neighbouring town, Merthyr, however, it was not totally dominated by industry and it is especially renowned for its spacious and beautiful park near the town centre. During Gwen's early life, Aberdare was one of the largest and most influential centres of literary culture in Wales, and a place where education was of prime importance in the community. As far back as 1867, Aberdare men and women had claimed that ‘what we think today, Wales will think tomorrow’. Could these be the reasons why Aberdare has produced so many distinguished academics? None, however, has achieved greater distinction than Gwendolen Rees who, in 1971, became the first woman academic in Wales to be elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. Since she has often been affectionately referred to as ‘one in a million’ by her former students, the metaphor assumed literal significance in 1971, when the female population of Wales was 1446000. Because of a phenomenal life-long dedication to her chosen career as university teacher, researcher and administrator, together with a genuine lack of desire for personal acclaim, there may have been many people who had never heard of her until 1971.

Abstract:

From a discussion of the singular concentration in Aeneid 6 of material pointing towards archaic Latin poetry and present in the text leading up to and including the famous verses excudent alii…(6.847–53), we pass to Virgil’s view of poets and poetry at large in Aeneid 6: a number of passages make it clear that Elysium is filled with poets, and their importance to Virgil emerges from the rhetorical structure of the last third of Aeneid 6.

Full text

Abstract:

Haddad examines the work done by pedagogy in the Foucault-Derrida debate, and argue that it reflects and reinforces the differences between the two thinkers' understandings of philosophy and its teaching. Haddad begins with Derrida's Cogito essay, analyzing two key moments in which pedagogy appears. In the first, the famous introduction where Derrida reflects on having been a student of Foucault, a traditional conception of the teacher-student relation is advanced. This conception remains at work in the essay's second pedagogic moment, when Derrida reads Descartes' first Meditation as addressed to a naïve non-philosopher being inducted into the discipline. However, this relation is simultaneously called into question by the rest of Derrida's reading, since, even as he elevates the status of philosophy, he ends up implying that it resists being taught. This reflects, Haddad argues, Derrida's own ambiguous relation to philosophy as an academic discipline.

Abstract:

It is highly likely that many of the figures in Virgil’s ‘Parade of Heroes’ in Aeneid 6 had parallels with actual statues in Rome and in the Forum of Augustus. But since Virgil died in 19 BC and the Forum was not completed until 2 BC, there appears to be an irresoluble problem, which has excited a good deal of relatively futile scholarly debate. It seems, however, that there may have been a common source—Varro’s famous Imagines. It is at least a possibility that depiction in Varro was a significant factor in the delicate matter of choosing who was to be commemorated in the Forum.

Full text

Abstract:

In his 1982-3 course at the Collège de France, Le gouvernement de soi et des autres, Foucault, developing his famous notion of parrhēsia (free speech, courageous speech, or “fearless speech”), is led on several occasions to make allusive but acerbic criticisms of Derrida’s readings of Plato. Starting from a symptomatic reading of the animus evident in these criticisms, Bennington shows that Foucault’s notion of parrhēsia as a guiding figure for philosophy is in fact incoherent, and that this incoherence can be related to a number of other incoherencies in Foucault’s thinking from early to late. These incoherencies arise most notably whenever Foucault attempts to address the (“transcendental”) question of the very possibility of what he claims to be doing in his work. Taking seriously Derrida’s objections to Foucault in “Cogito et histoire de la folie,” “Etre juste avec Freud,” and La bête et le souverain I, Bennington goes on to suggest that Foucault’s very inability to explain the possibility of what he is claiming to do (in brief, the absence of any plausible account of the question of reading in his work) has paradoxically been the ground of his enormous intellectual success, but that that success has been bought at the price of a historicism and a self-righteous moralism that inevitably undermine the very “political” relevance that Foucault and his followers claim for themselves.

Tweet, Justin S., Vincent L. Santucci, Kenneth Convery, Jonathan Hoffman, and Laura Kirn. Channel Islands National Park: Paleontological resource inventory (public version). National Park Service, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.36967/nrr-2278664.

Full text

Abstract:

Channel Island National Park (CHIS), incorporating five islands off the coast of southern California (Anacapa Island, San Miguel Island, Santa Barbara Island, Santa Cruz Island, and Santa Rosa Island), has an outstanding paleontological record. The park has significant fossils dating from the Late Cretaceous to the Holocene, representing organisms of the sea, the land, and the air. Highlights include: the famous pygmy mammoths that inhabited the conjoined northern islands during the late Pleistocene; the best fossil avifauna of any National Park Service (NPS) unit; intertwined paleontological and cultural records extending into the latest Pleistocene, including Arlington Man, the oldest well-dated human known from North America; calichified “fossil forests”; records of Miocene desmostylians and sirenians, unusual sea mammals; abundant Pleistocene mollusks illustrating changes in sea level and ocean temperature; one of the most thoroughly studied records of microfossils in the NPS; and type specimens for 23 fossil taxa. Paleontological research on the islands of CHIS began in the second half of the 19th century. The first discovery of a mammoth specimen was reported in 1873. Research can be divided into four periods: 1) the few early reports from the 19th century; 2) a sustained burst of activity in the 1920s and 1930s; 3) a second burst from the 1950s into the 1970s; and 4) the modern period of activity, symbolically opened with the 1994 discovery of a nearly complete pygmy mammoth skeleton on Santa Rosa Island. The work associated with this paleontological resource inventory may be considered the beginning of a fifth period. Fossils were specifically mentioned in the 1938 proclamation establishing what was then Channel Islands National Monument, making CHIS one of 18 NPS areas for which paleontological resources are referenced in the enabling legislation. Each of the five islands of CHIS has distinct paleontological and geological records, each has some kind of fossil resources, and almost all of the sedimentary formations on the islands are fossiliferous within CHIS. Anacapa Island and Santa Barbara Island, the two smallest islands, are primarily composed of Miocene volcanic rocks interfingered with small quantities of sedimentary rock and covered with a veneer of Quaternary sediments. Santa Barbara stands apart from Anacapa because it was never part of Santarosae, the landmass that existed at times in the Pleistocene when sea level was low enough that the four northern islands were connected. San Miguel Island, Santa Cruz Island, and Santa Rosa Island have more complex geologic histories. Of these three islands, San Miguel Island has relatively simple geologic structure and few formations. Santa Cruz Island has the most varied geology of the islands, as well as the longest rock record exposed at the surface, beginning with Jurassic metamorphic and intrusive igneous rocks. The Channel Islands have been uplifted and faulted in a complex 20-million-year-long geologic episode tied to the collision of the North American and Pacific Places, the initiation of the San Andreas fault system, and the 90° clockwise rotation of the Transverse Ranges, of which the northern Channel Islands are the westernmost part. Widespread volcanic activity from about 19 to 14 million years ago is evidenced by the igneous rocks found on each island.
