Polarization singularities in isotropic random vector waves
No full textFollowing Nye & Hajnal, we explore the geometry of complex vector waves by regarding them as a field of polarization ellipses. Singularities of this field are the C lines and L lines, where the polarization is purely circular and purely linear, respectively. The singularities can be reinterpreted as loci of photon spin 1 (C lines) and 0 (L lines). For Gaussian random superpositions of plane waves equidistributed in direction but with an arbitrary frequency spectrum, we calculate the density (length per unit volume) of C and L lines

Bertice Berry - 04/06/1999 - (Riall Lecture Series)
No full textBegun in 1988, the E. Pauline Riall Lecture Series brings to the University and community outstanding national lecturers in the field of education. The series was established by the late Miss Riall, long-time principal and teacher of the former Salisbury University's Campus School. A generous bequest was provided by Miss Riall's will to fund this special program.

Wendell Berry, Kentucky\u27s Author
No full textMy poster highlights the life and works of Kentucky native Wendell Berry. Mr. Berry is most noted for his writings which encourage the support of local agriculture. I have done a phone interview with Mr. Berry, quotations from which were incorporated into the poster. Mr. Berry has intertwined his philosophy into both his fictional and non- fictional works, and highlights from these works are presented
The effects of berry polyphenols on the gut microbiota and blood pressure: A systematic review of randomized clinical trials in humans
No full textBerry consumption has beneficial effects on blood pressure. Intestinal microbiota transform berry phytochemicals into more bioactive forms. Thus, we performed a systematic review of randomized clinical trials to determine whether berry polyphenols in foods, extracts or supplements have effects on both the profile of gut microbiota and systolic and diastolic blood pressure in humans. PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and CAB Abstracts (EBSCOhost) were searched for randomized clinical trials in humans published from 1 January 2011 to 29 October 2021. Search results were imported into Covidence for screening and data extraction by two blinded reviewers, who also performed bias assessment independently. The literature search identified 216 publications; after duplicates were removed, 168 publications were screened with 12 full-text publications assessed for eligibility. Ultimately three randomized clinical trials in humans met the eligibility criteria. One randomized clinical trial showed a low risk of bias while the other two randomized clinical trials included low, high or unclear risk of bias. Together the randomized clinical trials showed that berry consumption (Aronia berry, strawberries, raspberries, cloudberries and bilberries) for 8–12 weeks had no significant effect on both blood pressure and the gut microbiota. More randomized clinical trials are needed to determine the effects of berry consumption on the profile of gut microbiota and blood pressure in humans
Trade justice and individual consumption choices : Adam Smith's spectator theory and the moral constitution of the Fair Trade consumer
No full textA consistent theme of the existing literature is that fair trade consumption practices represent acts of justice. In this article I investigate such an equation from the perspective of the moral theory of Adam Smith. Smith explains the development of moral sensibilities via an imaginative act he calls `sympathy'. For Smith, justice prevails in interpersonal relationships in which the potential for one person to do harm to another is ruled out because their respective imaginations are in perfect accord, thus creating a situation of mutual sympathy. I advance two main conclusions. First, I argue that fair trade consumption is undoubtedly a moral act in the manner described by Smith, as it involves consumers responding to fair trade campaigns in order to trigger their moral sensibilities through exercising their imaginative faculties. Second, though, I argue that fair trade consumption is not specifically a moral act of justice in the manner described by Smith. The structure of fair trade invites the First World consumer to display sympathy for the Third World producer, but it provides no means for that sympathy to be reciprocated. As such, instances of genuine mutual sympathy do not arise. From a Smithian perspective, fair trade consumption practices are an act of beneficence rather than an act of justice. They thereby reside in the realm of private virtue rather than the realm of public duty, with significant implications for the way in which trade justice is conceptualized and studied in IPE
Book review : Christopher J. Berry, Adam Smith : a very short introduction
No full textChristopher J. Berry, Adam Smith: A Very Short Introduction. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2018, xx + 128 pp, ₹250. ISBN 978-0-198-78445-6 (paperback).
Oxford University Press began its “very short introductions” in 1995 “for anyone wanting a stimulating and accessible way into a new subject”. Since then, it has published four books on key economic thinkers: Peter Singer on Karl Marx (2001; second edition in 2018), Robert Skidelsky on Maynard Keynes (2010), Donald Winch on Robert Malthus (2013; originally published as an OUP Past Master in 1987) and Christopher Berry on Adam Smith (2018) which is the book under review. Berry’s Adam Smith devotes Chapter 1 to Smith’s “life and times”, Chapter 2 to his relatively less known work on the history of astronomy, rhetoric and scientific explanation, Chapters 3 and 4 to the Theory of Moral Sentiments (TMS hereafter), Chapters 5 and 6 to the Wealth of Nations (WN hereafter) and Chapter 7, the final one, to Smith’s “legacy and reputation”
Sex Addiction: the Chicken-and-Egg Dilemma of Diagnosis
No full textIn May 2013, the American Psychiatric Association will release the next version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V). Interestingly, sex addiction, despite significant attention from mainstream media, will be omitted from the manual. This omission presents a challenge to clinicians who treat sex addiction, and researchers aiming to further our understanding of the issue. This commentary outlines some of the reasons sex addiction was not included in the DSM-V, including a ‘chicken-and-egg’ conundrum, which makes it difficult to generate research without a clear diagnosis, and difficult to establish a definitive diagnosis without a supportive body of research
