Dynamic of astrophysical jets in the complex octonion space

The paper aims to consider the strength gradient force as the dynamic of astrophysical jets, explaining the movement phenomena of astrophysical jets. J. C. Maxwell applied the quaternion analysis to describe the electromagnetic theory. This encourages others to adopt the complex quaternion and octonion to depict the electromagnetic and gravitational theories. In the complex octonion space, it is capable of deducing the field potential, field strength, field source, angular momentum, torque, force and so forth. As one component of the force, the strength gradient force relates to the gradient of the norm of field strength only, and is independent of not only the direction of field strength but also the mass and electric charge for the test particle. When the strength gradient force is considered as the thrust of the astrophysical jets, one can deduce some movement features of astrophysical jets, including the bipolarity, matter ingredient, precession, symmetric distribution, emitting, collimation, stability, continuing acceleration and so forth. The above results reveal that the strength gradient force is able to be applied to explain the main mechanical features of astrophysical jets, and is the competitive candidate of the dynamic of astrophysical jets.

Can going to the grass roots help in meeting the challenges of universal health management and marketing in developing countries?

In developing nations, state-of-the-art costly hospitals have sprung up on the complex health scenario, exploiting the international patient movement phenomenon, but have also created an imbalance, as the common man's hospitals have been totally ignored, making a huge loss to the local nationals and affecting the internal patient movement. The stupendous rising costs by these private medical tourism-based healthcare centres have shifted the equilibrium, as out-of-pocket expenses for the common people are more than 80%, leaving them helpless. What is required in connection with the launching of a successful medical tourism in these countries to attract international patients, is also to develop at par the small town and regional health facilities to symbiotically benefit the locals, the government and as well as foreigners. It is a well-established fact that expertise and experience of doctors will benefit the high-profile patients as well as the common man, if properly managed.

A Sense of Time: Aristotle, Nietzsche, and Heidegger on the Temporality of Life

The phenomenon of movement in the broadest sense appears to be essential to any and every understanding of life. And this would seem to imply that all life is constituted by temporality as its very condition. Yet does this entail that everything that lives also has a sense of time? Aristotle in several places writes of a “sense of time”; yet it is only certain living beings, not all, that possess this sense of time, he claims. Nietzsche gives us the famous image of the grazing cattle that are completely absorbed in the moment and, having no sense of time, are completely content. Heidegger, in the context of the issue of affection, identifies as a crucial problem the question of “whether and how the Being of animals is constituted by a ‘time’,” yet it is a question that he deliberately neglects to pursue in his most detailed analyses of animal life. In this essay I explore some of the stakes in the question concerning a sense of time, with reference to the three thinkers mentioned.

Understanding the lateral movement of particles adsorbed at a solid–liquid interface

In this paper we study the phenomenon of lateral movement of particles that are electrostatically adsorbed at a solid–liquid interface. The experimental system involves negatively charged silica particles of two different sizes (65nm and 90nm) that are exposed to the positively charged solid surface (silane coated silicon wafer) in sequential steps. The particle-adsorbed wafers are analyzed under a scanning electron microscope and the images are processed to determine the pair-correlation function for the particles adsorbed in the first step. From the pair correlation data and the particle surface coverage data we show that the adsorbed particles are mobile at the solid–liquid interface. In specific, we show that the adsorbed particles are mobile at the solid–liquid interface when there is a driving force for the adsorbed particles to move. The driving force in the scheme of experiments discussed in this paper is the reduction in the free energy of the system.

Myungdongchon: A people movement among diaspora Koreans in the early 20th century

This study looks at a people movement among diaspora Koreans in Manchuria in 1909. More specifically, the conversion of the Myungdongchon village (MDC village) is the focal point of this study. Some people from this village have played a significant role in various areas of public life, ranging from Christian ministry, literature, to film and art, and to the civil rights movement. Numerous studies have looked at the Myungdongchon village, utilizing biographical or historical approaches. Some studies have focused specifically on Korea’s modern history while others have studied MDC village in light of church history at large. But no study has undertaken to look at the phenomenon of the people movement in MDC village. This article unveils a small-scale people movement among diaspora Koreans in the early 20th century and discusses its missiological implications for today. A missiological understanding of the MDC people movement is important because it brings a new light to the study of people movements in Christianity and offers insights for diaspora ministry and a new missionary role in the 21st century.

Museum Landscape: Landscape Architecture as a Strategy for Urbanizing Budapest's City Park

The global phenomenon of environmental movement is reflected on the architecture trend, leading a creation of an urban fabric to be more integrated to the city, being energy efficient and environmentally friendly. The development of an urban tissue becomes a reflection of the city's works, linking the whole nation as the part of the mother earth. Budapest as the capital city of Hungary seeks for a solution in revitalizing its city parks, linking the existing green field to its surrounding mature fabrics, conserving its role as a truly public space while at the same time applying greener design for its museums. An urban design approach is needed to integrate their grains and stitching its fragmentation by combining the marriage between building and its nature. A landscape architecture is offered as an alternative, a hybrid between solid and void as a representation between architecture and its city. However, a new redefinition of landscape architecture needs to be questioned in order to achieve profound development of landscape architecture as a concept. A typological investigation is used as a method to reveal qualitative value by comparing historical investigation and study cases. Through history, museum transformation is presented as a reference for museum landscape, revealing the naked truth where its hybridity has been implemented for extending the boundaries of architecture.

Temporal relay in discussing the cinematic encounters with architecture

Debating the complexities of the relationship between space, time and images, have evolved over the paradigmatic change of perception of urban space toward a movement perspective, and encompassed significant changes in the way we see and produce space. In this paper I will point out the modalities of architectural production that break the design process tradition, as it turned out as unable to support time-based modes of reception of architectural and urban ideas. A discursive analysis of relations between architectural and cinematic space will be shown as a sample which problematizes the issue of time in an altered reality of the recorded material. I will deal with the methodological and theoretical analysis of the relations between the phenomenon of space, time and movement, with the intention to show how cinematic device utilizes its own unique features to make visible movements, to articulate time and interpret linear and the non-linear projection of sequence between cinematic space and real architectural space. As a field of my research, I will take the analogy from the practice of film montage, architectural experiment and multi-screen installation.

Romantizmas ir krikščioniškoji Vakarų kultūros tradicija

The article clarifies the notion of unity seen in the history of Western (Christian) culture; the notion is implied in investigations made by Rene Burke, Aidan Day, George Steiner. According to these scholars, the only cultural break that can be clearly seen in Western culture took place at the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th centuries, when egocentric and nihilistic elements of the modern/postmodern conception of the world began to come into opposition with the Christian world-view. While considering the tension between traditional and “antitraditional” Western cultures, the article stresses the philosophical assumptions that undermine both cultures. The first signs of this cultural break can be seen in the period of Romanticism. Even though Romanticism is still strongly connected with the Western tradition, including its Christian aspect (the romanticists were strongly interested in the spiritual and the transcendental), the main aspects of Romanticism (egocentrism, homotheism, anticommunal tendencies) strongly oppose the tradition of Christian conception of the world. In the works of English, German, Polish, Russian Romanticists a double movement can be observed away from the traditional Christian philosophy and back towards it. Lithuanian Romanticism has hardly any such phenomena of double movement, it doesn’t quarrel with Christian thought. The article ends with the consideration of possible causes and consequences of this lack of opposition to the Christian world-view seen in Lithuanian Romanticism.

Kinematic behaviour of a large earthflow defined by surface displacement monitoring, DEM differencing, and ERT imaging

Large earthflow-type landslides are destructive mass movement phenomena with highly unpredictable behaviour. Knowledge of earthflow kinematics is essential for understanding the mechanisms that control its movements. The present paper characterises the kinematic behaviour of a large earthflow near the village of Ľubietová in Central Slovakia over a period of 35years following its most recent reactivation in 1977. For this purpose, multi-temporal spatial data acquired by point-based in-situ monitoring and optical remote sensing methods have been used. Quantitative data analyses including strain modelling and DEM differencing techniques have enabled us to: (i) calculate the annual landslide movement rates; (ii) detect the trend of surface displacements; (iii) characterise spatial variability of movement rates; (iv) measure changes in the surface topography on a decadal scale; and (v) define areas with distinct kinematic behaviour. The results also integrate the qualitative characteristics of surface topography, in particular the distribution of surface structures as defined by a high-resolution DEM, and the landslide subsurface structure, as revealed by 2D resistivity imaging. Then, the ground surface kinematics of the landslide is evaluated with respect to the specific conditions encountered in the study area including slope morphology, landslide subsurface structure, and local geological and hydrometeorological conditions. Finally, the broader implications of the presented research are discussed with particular focus on the role that strain-related structures play in landslide kinematic behaviour.

Geochemical characteristics and genesis of Mačje Jame and Vranjski Potok As-Cu-bearing iron occurrences west and southwest of the town of Busovača, Mid-Bosnian Schist Mountains

Investigated landslide is the largest active mass movement along the Croatian coast, situated on the north-eastern slope in the central part of the Rjecina Valley (north-eastern coastal part of Adriatic Sea, Croatia). Slopes in this valley are formed in siliciclastic rocks - flysch, while limestone rock mass is visible on the cliffs around the top of the river valley. The slopes are at the limit of a stable equilibrium state, and mass movement phenomena have been recorded since 19th century. Samples for laboratory testing were taken from the flysch bedrock, weathered zone and slope formations, and were recovered to provide specimens for data on their mineralogical, physical and geotechnical properties. Correlation between mineralogical and geotechnical properties and their influence on sliding processes are presented in this paper. Clay fraction in samples ranges from 17 % to 38 %. Clay activity of the tested samples is from 0.45 to 0.89, and the residual friction angle varies from 13.0° to 17.7°. These results correspond to the presence of kaolinite and illite groups of clay mineral. Mineral composition and decrease in strength of fine-grained soil materials, due to the increase of pore water pressures, contributes to the slope movements.

Evolution of Region Connection Calculus to VRCC-3D+

Qualitative spatial reasoning (QSR) is useful for deriving logical inferences when quantitative spatial information is not available. QSR theories have applications in areas such as geographic information systems, spatial databases, robotics, and cognitive sciences. The existing QSR theories have been applied primarily to 2D. The ability to perform QSR over a collection of 3D objects is desirable in many problem domains. Here we present the evolution (VRCC-3D+) of RCC-based QSR from 2D to both 3D (including occlusion support) and 4D (a temporal component). It is time consuming to construct large composition tables manually. We give a divide-and-conquer algorithm to construct a comprehensive composition table from smaller constituent tables (which can be easily handcrafted). In addition to the logical consistency entailment checking that is required for such a system, clearly there is a need for a spatio-temporal component to account for spatial movements and path consistency (i.e. to consider only smooth transitions in spatial movements over time). Visually, these smooth movement phenomena are represented as a conceptual neighborhood graph. We believe that the methods presented herein to detect consistency, refine uncertainty, and enhance reasoning about 3D objects will provide useful guidelines for other studies in automated spatial reasoning.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability in Scandinavia: An Overview

Scandinavia is routinely cited as a global leader in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability. In this article, we explore the foundation for this claim while also exploring potential contributing factors. We consider the deep-seated traditions of stakeholder engagement across Scandinavia including the claim that the recent concept of “creating shared value” has Scandinavian origins, institutional and cultural factors that encourage strong CSR and sustainability performances, and the recent phenomenon of movement from implicit to explicit CSR in a Scandinavian context and what this may entail. In sum, we depict the state of the art in CSR and sustainability in Scandinavia. We intend for this to serve as a basis to help establish a globally recognized research paradigm dedicated to considering CSR and sustainability in a Scandinavian context.

Effect of Soil Hydraulic Properties Model on Slope Stability Analysis Based on Strength Reduction Method

Soil hydraulic properties models which have been proposed were derived based on the empirical fitting curve such as Brooks-Corey model (BC) and Van Genuchten model (VG), or based on soil pore radius distribution such as Lognormal model (LN). Each model has different accuracy for predicting soil moisture distribution. In the analysis of rainfall-induced slope failure, the soil hydraulic properties model was needed to describe the physical phenomena of behavior characteristic of water in unsaturated soil. As moisture content has an effect on soil strength, it is vital to select the suitable soil hydraulic properties model for predicting Factor of Safety (FOS) especially in forecasting landslide hazard. In this study, a numerical model of seepage finite element analysis using BC, VG, and LN model were used and compared in order to analyze the soil moisture distribution, water movement phenomenon, and slope stability characteristic in unsaturated soil slope based on the strength reduction method (SRM). The results showed that the variations of the parameters predicting the moisture content of soil leads to differences of FOS in some cases. The parametric study showed that for the unsaturated soil condition, BC model has the greatest FOS value than the other model, while VG model has the lowest. On the other hand, the FOS of all models have the same result for the saturated condition. Other than that, it was found that the increasing of ESP value in the surface layer has significant effect in the sub-surface layer.

A simple method for numerical modelling of mechanical behaviour of an energy pile

A commercial numerical code was used to simulate the mechanical behaviour of energy piles under thermo-mechanical loadings. The thermal load was simply simulated by imposing on the pile volumetric strains calculated from the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material. Simulations were performed for two existing in situ experiments and one experiment performed using a physical laboratory model. Comparison between the simulations and experimental results shows that this decoupling method can satisfactorily predict the experimentally observed phenomena of pile head movement under thermal cycles at various mechanical loads and change of pile axial load along the pile under thermal cycles. The results highlight the important role played by thermal volume change of the pile on the mechanical behaviour of the energy pile under thermo-mechanical loadings.

Revisiting Significant Action and Gesture Categorization

As the field of gesture studies has developed researchers have created ways of analysing and categorizing bodily movement phenomena. In this paper we look at whether gesture categorizations have any resonance with the ways that people other than gesture researchers approach bodily movement. Building on Kendon's observations that people generally have a consistent attitude towards what constitutes ‘significant action’, we asked 12 participants to conceptualize their own categories of gesture and then analyse a short video that contained a predetermined variety of bodily movements. We found that non-analysts had a wider conception of what constituted gesture than analysts. In regards to the categorizations of gesture that non-analysts made, there were a range of schemas, which we broadly categorized as being ‘form-based’ and ‘function-based’.

Do sentences with unaccusative verbs involve syntactic movement? Evidence from neuroimaging

This study focuses on the neural processing of English sentences containing unergative, unaccusative and transitive verbs. We demonstrate common responses in bilateral superior temporal gyri in response to listening to sentences containing unaccusative and transitive verbs compared to unergative verbs; we did not detect any activation that was specific to unaccusatives. Our findings indicate that the neural processing of unaccusative and transitive verbs is highly similar, and very different from the processing of unergative verbs. We discuss the consequences of these results for the linguistic analysis of movement phenomena.

Transmigration of mandibular canine – case report

SummaryBackgroundTransmigration is a phenomenon of movement of an unerupted tooth in the bone across the midline. This anomaly is not often found. Transmigration is more prevalent in females than in males, and more often encountered in the mandible than maxilla, it affects mostly canines.Case ReportThe aim of this study was to present a case report of a mandibular canine transmigration in a patient aged 12. Intraoral examination determined hypodontia of right second premolar and delayed eruption of left second premolar in maxilla, as well as persistent deciduous teeth: right second molar, left canine and second molar. The patient was referred for a Cone-Beam CT examination, which allowed precise visualization of the transmigrating canine as well as ruled out resorption of roots of mandibular incisors.ResultsThe treatment with a maxillary fixed orthodontic appliance was finished after obtaining a satisfactory result. Proper alignment of the incisors in the anterior-posterior plane and correct midline position were accepted by the patient. Transmigrating canine after consultation with the surgeon was designed to further radiological observation.

Дисидентський рух як історичний прототип політичної опозиції: узагальнення на підставі аналізу режимів «реального соціалізму» в Польщі, Угорщині та Чехословаччині

The article is devoted to theoretical and methodological generalization of the phenomenon of dissident movement as a historical prototype of political opposition in the regimes of “real socialism” in Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. The author identified key types of nonconformist actions that can shear the political opposition, i.e. resistance, disagreement or dissent and opposition. It was generalized that the discovered and determined sequence of nonconformist actions is described with a common root, i.e. protest. However, it was theoretically and metoodologically argued that the logical structure of the triad “resistance – dissent – opposition” have to be determined on the basis of social and political importance of a given scientific construct
