    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Beatty, J.F., and the Law of Manslaughter

    No full text
    In this article, the author argues that the recent Supreme Court of Canada decisions in R. v. Beatty and R. v. J.F. have clarified several of the issues that have plagued the increasingly complicated offence of manslaughter. In particular, the decisions address the redundancy among the many manslaughter provisions in the Criminal Code, the need to define a clear separation between actus reus and mens rea, and the need to establish distinct categories of objective fault for different types of manslaughter offences. The author examines the legal background of these decisions as well as the current state of the law. He concludes by identifying emerging issues relating to the offence of manslaughter, arguing that the law remains convoluted and in need of urgent reform despite the progress made in the Beatty and J.F. decisions

    Iamblichus: the two-fold nature of the soul and the causes of Human Agency

    No full text
    Iamblichus’ doctrine of the soul poses a problem of internal consistency. Based on the fragments of De anima preserved in Joannes Stobaeus’ writings, the evidence provided by Priscian of Lydia and the commentary on De anima attributed to Simplicius in the manuscript tradition, the very core of Iamblichus' doctrine would appear to coincide with the notion that once the human soul has descended into the world of becoming and joined the body, it changes in substance while preserving its identity. As important studies have emphasised, this thesis was developed and formulated by the philosopher in opposition to Plotinus' doctrine that the soul possess an immutable and unchanging nature. Usually referred to as the doctrine of the “undescended soul”, the latter view rests on a strict ontological distinction between the level of the soul and those of realities superior to it. An examination of other fragments from De anima and of evidence from Damascius and Hermias of Alexandria would nonetheless appear to challenge the above reconstruction of Iamblichus' doctrine. Based on these sources, Iamblichus would seem to be drawing a hierarchical distinction among individual souls according to their relation to change. What he would be arguing is that the superior class of souls undergoes no change in substance (see in particular Damascius, Commentary on Plato’s Parmenides IV p. 24. 1-23 W.-C.). Iamblichus would thus appear to be granting certain categories of souls the same status that Plotinus confers to all souls – something Iamblichus criticises in other passages of his writing. I will be discussing this problem in the light of two passages on the two-fold nature of the human soul: the fragment of a epistle addressed to Macedonius, On Fate, preserved in Joannes Stobaeus, Anthologion II 8. 45 p. 174. 9-27; and De mysteriis VIII 6-7. Both texts link the individual soul to two principles: one included within the order of fate, the other superior to nature and free from the order of fate. The latter principle does not make the soul – each soul – belong to the intelligible realm; nor does it infuse the soul with the intelligible. Rather, it reflects the metaphysical view of participation that Iamblichus adopts to describe the one-sided relation between inferior and superior

    Bouwen aan de delta: Gerealiseerde waterbouwkundige werken, Inzendingen prof. dr. ir. J.F. Agemaprijs 2015

    De afgelopen jaren (2010 - 2015) zijn er in Nederland vele in het oog springende waterbouwkundige projecten gerealiseerd. Aansprekende voorbeelden betreffen onder meer Maasvlakte 2, de Zandmotor, de ontpoldering van de Noordwaard en de omlegging van de Zuid-Willemsvaart. Ook in de lokale watersystemen zijn diverse interessante projecten gebouwd. Veel van deze projecten hebben zich aangemeld voor de prof. dr. ir. J.F. Agemaprijs, dé prijs voor het beste en meest innovatieve waterbouwkundige project dat daadwerkelijk gebouwd is. Dit boek toont foto’s en projectinformatie, en bevat achtergrondinformatie over de Agemaprijs en essays van experts. De verschillende projecten geven een fraai beeld van de veelzijdigheid en innovativiteit van de Nederlandse (water)bouwers. Het boek geeft inzicht in de huidige en toekomstige manier waarop deltagebieden kunnen worden ingericht.Delft University of Technolog
