Rhetoric and Philosophical Speech in Plotinus

Plotinus’ Enneads display a strategy of persuasion that can be called a philosophical rhetoric in more than just a general sense. It takes its lead from Plato’s definition of rhetoric as psychagogy and is, at least to some extent, theorized in Ennead V 3.6. Plotinus starts from the fact that logical necessity does not always entail inner assent, which he explains with the fallen state of the embodied soul – the addressee of all philosophical speech – and the influence of the senses. To heal the discrepancy of necessity and persuasion, which on the level of pure Intellect does not exist, philosophy must persuade the soul to ascend to the Intelligible, where it has its true roots. To achieve this goal, Plotinus combines two modes of philosophical speech: the ‘necessity mode’, which considers intelligible Being in itself and from its proper principles, and the ‘persuasive mode’, which teaches soul to view itself as a part and offspring of the intelligible world. Some examples, mainly from Ennead V.3, show how this combination works in practice and how it can be transferred to the Neoplatonic One, which, being ineffable, is strictly speaking unaccessible to speech and rhetoric.

IDENTIFICATION OF MOSS PLANTS AROUND NAMORAMBE DISTRICT

Non-vascular plants, such as mosses (Bryophyta), are commonly found on land. The class of plants known as tuberous plants, or plants that do not have true roots, stems, or leaves as well as xylem and phloem vessels, includes moss plants. Knowing the diversity of moss plants in Namorambe Sub-district is the purpose of this research. On May 9, 2024, this research was conducted by walking around the Namorambe area to look for moss plants that might be there. This research methodology is qualitative, using descriptive and exploratory techniques. This research used observation, documentation, and literature study as data collection methods. Direct investigation into the Namorambe area was used to make observations to identify moss plants. The three species identified based on the results of the identification of leaf mosses around Namorambe Sub-district were Hyophila sp., Pogonatum cirrhatum, and Barbula indica. Leaf mosses were made near people's work areas and were made on tree bark and stone substrates

Diversity of Ferns: Identification of Types Pteridophyta In Batang Gadis National Park, North Sumatera, Indonesia

The diversity of ferns is very high, especially in Indonesia. Ferns (Pteridophyta) are a division of the kingdom Plantae whose members have true roots, stems and leaves, as well as carrying vessels. Ferns (Pteridophyta) live in moist areas (hygrophytes) both epiphytes (attached to trees, wood, rocks) and terrestrial (soil). The diversity of ferns is related to altitude and other abiotic factors such as temperature, pH, humidity and light intensity. This research used qualitative methods through fern exploration activities in the Batang Gadis National Park, specifically at Sopo Tinjak Resort 6. The research results obtained 8 types of ferns in Resort 6 of the Batang Gadis Mandailing Natal National Park Area, North Sumatera, Indonesia.

Kullervo – A Symphony for a Tragic Hero

The last decade on the 19th century saw a major crisis of identity in what is known today as Finland. Having emerged from under centuries of Swedish rule and being incorporated into the Russian Empire, the population turned to its true ethnic roots. The compilation and the publishing of the Kalevala set in motion a series of cultural and artistic events which resonated deeply with the political aspirations of the moment. Amidst this effervescence came the young Jean Sibelius to present one of his earliest monumental works, Kullervo Op 7. Often mislabeled as a symphonic poem, this programmatic symphony draws upon the story of the Kalevala’s 6th cycle. The unfolding plot is a typical tragic hero story set in a very Finnish framework. The composer had therefore to solve the task of presenting a particular version of a universal archetype and to create a symphony that can be both a testament to the struggles of his own time and a monument within the history of universal music. Keywords: Sibelius, Kullervo, Kalevala, tragic hero

Vizantijskij tranzit yuridicheskoj iudaiki v otechestvennoe ugolovnoe pravo

he purpose of this work is to study the historical and legal phenomena of penetration into the legal space of Russia provisions of Hebrew law in the process of global reception of Christianized law of the Eastern Roman Empire in the 11th 17th centuries. Judaica not only influenced the formation of domestic legal acts (in the aspects of legal goal-setting, the specifics of legal technology, etc.) the provisions of the Law of Moses were included as an autonomous segment in systematized domestic codes and were subject to direct application by state authorities of Russia. Understanding the true historical roots of the formation of domestic law forms the foundation for its development currently and release the reform of Russian criminal law from artificially imposed dependence on the trends in the development of European public law.

Über neue und alte (Fehl)Anreize in der Reform der Vergütung von Krankenhausleistungen

Abstract By international standards, Germany maintains oversized bed capacities that are spread across too many hospitals that are often also too small. It is the job of the federal states to adjust the current structure. However, they shy away from the political resistance of those directly affected, believing it is easier to let things run their course. In order to cover the costs of maintenance, hospitals often provide more treatment than is medically necessary. Federal Minister Lauterbach seeks to remedy this shortcoming, which has its true roots in inadequate planning incentives, by reforming the remuneration of hospital services. The articles shows that the goals of the reform cannot be achieved in the proposed way.

Каноническое право Восточной Римской империи как исторический источник отечественного уголовного права

The purpose of this work is to refute the point of view of a number of theorists about the legal "backwardness" and programmed implementation doom of domestic public (and, above all, criminal) law. In this article, the author declares and argues the thesis that domestic criminal law (Russian/Russian) was initially, from the moment of its formation, based on the traditions of classical Roman law in its most developed Byzantine form. The reception of Roman law into Russian criminal law was carried out in two directions: canon law and secular law. And if the vector of Byzantine influence on the development of secular criminal law has faded over time, then canon law continues to test it to this day. As a result, the author substantiates the conclusion that understanding the true historical roots of the formation of domestic law forms the foundation for its development at the moment and frees the reform of Russian criminal law from artificially imposed dependence on the trends of development of European public law.

Klasifikasi Jamur Berdasarkan Genus Dengan Menggunakan Metode CNN

Mushrooms are plants that do not have true roots and leaves. There are many types of mushrooms that have been identified worldwide, with various shapes, sizes, and colors. Mushrooms have many benefits in the fields of economy, health, and others. One of the benefits of mushrooms is as a food source in Indonesia, but not all types can be consumed. To identify mushroom species, the concepts of Genus and species can be used. The concept of Genus is considered easier because it groups mushroom types based on similar morphological characteristics. Therefore, a model is needed to classify mushrooms based on consumable and toxic genera. The method used in this research is Convolution Neural Network (CNN) due to its good predictive results in image recognition. The model in the research utilizes three convolution layers, three MaxPooling layers, and two dropout layers. The use of dropout aims to reduce overfitting in the model. The research uses a dataset of 1200 images with a training and testing data ratio of 70:30, resulting in 840 training data and 360 testing data. The best accuracy achieved by this model is 89% for training and 82% for validation. Therefore, it can be concluded that the model is able to classify mushrooms based on Genus using the CNN method

Moral Injury - A Window into Damaging and Injurious Contexts

Moral Injury is a concept developing in psychology literature to review the impact of war on veterans and has especially focused on individual symptoms and finding clear diagnosis tools. This paper explores the connection between moral injury and the context in which they occur, a relationship that provides valuable understanding about the experience, but also the systemic factors that increase the vulnerability. The article begins by setting the groundwork for the discussion and introducing moral injury and its associate concepts. Part two explores the institutional dimension of moral injury and how an individual's professions can contribute to the injury. Part three proposes how moral injury insights can be implemented as guiding principles within peace and security, and particularly in peacekeeping missions. The final conclusion points to the context and the institutional system as the frame where personal reaction, values and systemic influences combine to produce moral injury. Therefore, looking for solutions to prevent and treat moral injury must acknowledge the true roots causes of distress that is not part of individualistic pathologizing mental health diagnosis.

Induction, Flavonoids Contents, and Bioactivities Analysis of Hairy Roots and True Roots of Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels et Gilg

The flavonoids in Tetrastigma hemsleyanum Diels et Gilg (T. hemsleyanum) have high medicinal value. However, because of slow growth and harsh ecological environments, T. hemsleyanum is currently an endangered species. In light of this, we present a detailed hairy root induction procedure as a promising alternative to true roots with medicinal value. The percentage of explants induced by Agrobacterium rhizogenes (A. rhizogenes) to produce hairy roots out of the total number of explants infected (induction rate 1) was 95.83 ± 7.22%, and the proportion of hairy roots that contained Rol B fragments among all the hairy roots with or without Rol B fragments (positive rate) was 96.57 ± 1.72%. The transformation was further confirmed by the expression of the GUS protein. A high-productive hairy root line was screened for the comparative profiling of six flavonoids with true roots using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The contents of (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, neochlorogenic acid, luteolin-6-C-glucoside, and orientin were 692.63 ± 127.24, 163.34 ± 31.86, 45.95 ± 3.46, 209.68 ± 6.03, and 56.82 ± 4.75 μg/g dry weight (DW) of 30-day-old hairy roots, respectively, which were higher than those of 3-year-old true roots. Hairy roots have stronger antioxidant activity than true roots. Overall, the hairy roots of T. hemsleyanum could serve as promising alternative sources for the production of flavonoids with medicinal uses.

What human values would you deny to save your life? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, a group of families are on vacation touring Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater when they hear gunshots. While most are confused, one attuned man realizes the danger and quickly gets the children safely into the basement. The remaining group is then confronted by men with guns looking to sort out, and kill, everyone who are not Christian. They are, they say, trying to bring America back to its true values and roots. An offended black man confronts them, but they assure him, they aren’t racists, they are good Christian men. They kill a Jewish man, who makes clear while he believes Jesus was a good man, but not the son of God. The narrator’s husband is then picked next and asked to confirm his Christian faith. His wife knows he’s an atheist and tries to will him to lie. Instead, her husband confesses both his Canadian citizenship and his lack of Christian faith, and is killed. Shortly thereafter police snipers show up and show the gunmen dead. The families are safe, but the narrator must now explain to their two children in the basement, that their father is dead.

Examining the Anatomical Characteristics of Rafflesia kerrii in Lojing Highlands, Peninsular Malaysia

Rafflesia kerrii is an endemic species to Peninsular Malaysia and Southern part of Thailand. The genus grows without the vegetative components such as, leaves, stems and true roots, where the only visible structure is the flower itself. It is easy to identify R. kerrii by its large dull red flowers, perigones covered by numerous small white pinkish warts and a wide diaphragm opening. However, there is a scarcity of knowledge about the species’s anatomical traits. Herein, this study is aimed to evaluate the anatomical characteristics of R. kerrii in Lojing Highlands by using micro techniques analysis. The results were compared to those of a similar species found in Thailand. Four main components of flower were analysed, these are; the perigone lobe, window, processes and ramenta. The anatomical analysis of R. kerrii collected in Lojing Highlands have revealed that all the four components had simple and uncomplicated structures. Both upper and bottom layers of the plant have epidermal cell layers. The ground tissues also have an undeveloped vascular bundle. Based on the findings, the anatomical characteristics of R. kerrii found in Lojing Highlands and in Khao Sok National Park in Thailand were identical and shared similar types of main tissues. However, there are minor differences such as in the presence of starch grains, distance between vascular bundles in perigone lobe, and the presence of trichome in the compartment of windows.

Studi Komposisi Pigmen Makro Alga (Gelidium corneum) yang Berasal Dari Pantai Yakoba Kota Jayapura

Macroalgae or also known as seaweed is a low-level plant that does not have true roots, stems and leaves. The function of the roots, stems and leaves is replaced by the thallus. The purpose of this study was to study the composition of macroalgae pigments (Gelidium corneum) originating from Yakoba Beach, Jayapura City. The method used in this research is an experimental method with pigment analysis using Thin Chromatography and Visible UV Spectrophotometry. The TLC plate test shows the results of identification of the crude extract of the Gelidium corneum pigment. The first three spots are green with an Rf value of 0.24 identified as chlorophyll compounds, the second spot is blue green which is identified as chlorophyll a compound with an Rf value of 0.26 and the third spot was green and yellow identified as chlorophyll b compound with an Rf value of 0.33. The absorbance pattern or wavelength (nm) from the results of the identification of this pigment shows that there are 3 highest peaks identified as chlorophyll pigments where the absorption pattern is at a wavelength of 350-700 nm (Habone, 1987 in Doli et al, 2020).

A Black Thang: Black Nia F.O.R.C.E, Radical Student Reading Circles, and Intellectual Freedom

One of the central themes of Black student activism in the latter half of the twentieth century was re-education. Finding the curriculums confronted in their schooling to be inadequate, student activists fought for Black Studies. But they also built alternatives to formal schooling. These reading circles and study groups became incubators for radical thinking, places that were free from the authority of campus administrations. This essay explores the prominence of reading circles in the context of Black student struggles at Howard University in the 1980s, through a focus on the organization, Black Nia F.O.R.C.E. It seeks to demonstrate that the preface for radical action, for their radical orientation, was knowledge and that ultimately, it was within self-determined intellectual spaces, where we find the true roots of “Black Study.”

The Superiority Of Micro-Algae As A Potential Feedstock For Alternative Energy

Micro-algae are plant like organisms belong to Thallophytic group, they have no true roots, stems, and leaves. They can easy to grow in fresh, saline, and brackish water. Like plants, micro-algae can conduct photosynthetic process to manufacture carbohydrates for their own food. Algal cell generally contains high concentration of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Micro-algae grow very rapidly, and their biomass is commonly double within 24 hours. The algal are the highest potential energy yield agricultural oil crop. In accordance with capability of their lives, micro-algae have potential as feedstuff for alternative energy. Other capabilities of algal are as carbon dioxide reduction, animal feed, livestock feed, fertilizer, supplement for human health, etc.

An evidence-based 3D reconstruction of Asteroxylon mackiei, the most complex plant preserved from the Rhynie chert.

The Early Devonian Rhynie chert preserves the earliest terrestrial ecosystem and informs our understanding of early life on land. However, our knowledge of the 3D structure, and development of these plants is still rudimentary. Here we used digital 3D reconstruction techniques to produce the first well-evidenced reconstruction of the structure and development of the rooting system of the lycopsid Asteroxylon mackiei, the most complex plant in the Rhynie chert. The reconstruction reveals the organisation of the three distinct axis types - leafy shoot axes, root-bearing axes, and rooting axes - in the body plan. Combining this reconstruction with developmental data from fossilised meristems, we demonstrate that the A. mackiei rooting axis - a transitional lycophyte organ between the rootless ancestral state and true roots - developed from root-bearing axes by anisotomous dichotomy. Our discovery demonstrates how this unique organ developed and highlights the value of evidence-based reconstructions for understanding the development and evolution of the first complex vascular plants on Earth.
