Esperienza ed evento della verità. Pratica filosofica e astrazione scientifica nel pensiero di A.N. Whitehead
No full textThis article analyzes the relationship between philosophy, experience and event in A.N. Whitehead’s thought. From the critics of the concept of object, the author retraces and describes the peculiar “abstract-concrete dialectic”, at the center of the researches concerning the perceptual experience.
Furthermore, according to Whitehead’s later works, she demonstrates how the philosophical practice is different from all other kinds of science, although it requires science itself because of the co-implication of object and event, abstraction and recognition
Il "Guerrin Meschino" di Gesualdo Bufalino : un'"opra" in versi
No full textGesualdo Bufalino first published Il Guerrin Meschino in 1991 in a non-commercial edition. In 1993, after a deep revision, he re-published his work with publisher Bompiani: the novel has a modified plot, and the author decided to insert three new poems in addition to the opening and closing poems, formerly present in 1991’s edition. This paper, in its entirety supported by handwritten material preserved at Fondazione Gesualdo Bufalino (Comiso), is divided in two parts: the first part illustrates the differences between the first and the second edition, the second part provides a critical edition of the five poems
A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE TEACHER. IN MEMORY OF THE EXCELLENT TEACHER AND SCIENTIST M.R. SAPIN
No full textM.R. Sapin (1925–2015) was a professor at I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, honorary academician of Russian academy of medical sciences (1988), and an outstanding representative of the Moscow anatomical school of the middle of XX – early XXI century. From the very beginning of his medical training, Mikhail Romanovich got interested in anatomy, especially in angiology and lymphology, and later concentrated on its studying. The author of more than 30 text books and guidelines for schools, universities, and colleges, Mikhail Romanovich was the doctoral and thesis advisor of 51 Ph.D. and approximately 70 MD dissertations. M.R. Sapin made a significant contribution to the development of anatomical education providing the departments with a various range of dry and wet specimens. His stunning and effective work as a tutor was highly appreciated by his students and colleagues, Russian and foreign anatomists. M.R. Sapin was the leader of the Laboratory of Functional Anatomy since 1972, president of the International Association of Morphologists (1992–2006), chairman of the expert commission of Higher Attestation Commission (1959–1994), etc. A man of a great willpower, M.R. Sapin faced a lot of obstacles in his life and research work but overcame that all successfully. The article presents the most important facts of anatomist’s career and lifetime.</jats:p
Verslag van het voorgevallene tijdens het hooge opperwater op de Nederlandsche rivieren in den winter van 1919 op 1920
No full textNadat de Rijn op 20 December 1919 tot even beneden den middelbaren zomerstand 1901-1910 (M.R.) was gedaald vertoonde zich op die rivier een sterke en vrij snelle was, waardoor het water te Keulen tot 6m +M.R. bij het einde van het jaar steeg. In de daarop volgende 11 dagen daalde de waterstand tot 1.5m +M.R. om daarna in 5 dagen weder te rijzen tot den zeer hoogen stand van 7m +M.R. Door een aanvankelijk sterken later flauweren val liep de stand weder terug tot 1.5m +M.R. op 30 Januari. Ook op de Maas vertoonden zich twee dicht op elkaar volgende sterke wassen. Bij den aanvang van den eersten was op 19 december stond het water te Maastricht op ruim 1m +M.R. en steeg het in 6 dagen tot 4.37m +M.R.; in de daaropvolgende 9 dagen bleef de stand steeds hoger dan 4m +M.R. en daalde toen tot ongeveer 2m +M.R. op 10 Januari 1920. De tweede was trad op laatsgenoemde datum in waarbij het water oplied tot 4.94m +M.R. op 15 Januari. Het water daalde daarna dadelijk en was op 29 Januari tot ongeveer 2m +M.R. weggevallen. Bij den tweeden was op Rijn en Maas werden de hoogst bekende waterstanden bij open rivieren overtroffen te Keulen met 7 cm en te Maastricht met 2 cm. De rivieren waren ijsvrij.Hoogwaterversla

ESTIMATION OF THE NONMARKET BENEFITS OF AGRICULTURAL LAND RETENTION IN EASTERN CANADA
No full textWe assess the nonmarket value for retention of farmland in the Moncton area of New Brunswick. We examine a number of factors explaining household external values for farmland preservation and expand on previous work by Beasley et al., Bergstrom et al., and Halstead. Our findings indicate that the marginal external benefit of preserving farmland in general in this region is small compared to the market price and that spatial embedding is not automatic in contingent valuation studies.Land Economics/Use,
