L’antimysticisme de Port-Royal et la mystique de Fénelon
No full textOn sait le rôle que Port-Royal joua dans « le crépuscule des mystiques » (Cognet). Il se peut que si Bossuet se réclame des Messieurs de Port-Royal, et notamment d’Arnauld et de Nicole dans son affrontement avec Fénelon, c’est précisément dans la mesure où ceux-ci s’étaient finalement éloignés de Jansénius et de son interprétation de saint Augustin. L’exégèse de la doctrine thomiste de l’amour naturel de Dieu proposée par Arnauld et l’usage du théologoumène du « Dieu caché » par Nicole en donnent la preuve
Montaigne's Gods
Full text linkAccording to Montaigne, ‘we cannot condignly conceive’ the nature and actions of God ‘if we are able to conceive them at
all. To imagine them condignly, we must imagine them unimaginable, unutterable, incomprehensible’. These criticisms,
directed at Raymond of Sebond, lead implicitly to the promotion of a radically negative theology. Yet, even if ‘human reason
goes astray [...] when she concerns herself with matters divine’, it is still possible to elaborate a discourse on God which
speaks ‘condignly’ of His nature as beyond our power to comprehend. Moreover, it is in the literature of pagan antiquity that
Montaigne finds the elements of this more ‘religious’ theology. This chapter examines Montaigne’s annotations on Lilio
Gregorio Giraldi’s treatise, De deis gentium varia et multiplex historia (‘The Varied and Manifold History of the Pagan
Gods’, 1548), as well as the comparison between Christian and pagan theology sketched out in the Essais

Locke o Spinoza: un punto di eresia
No full textRelying on his previous inquiries, the author discusses theories of “consciousness” which were elaborated almost simultaneously by Locke and Spinoza, as a reaction against the Cartesian doctrine of self-certainty. Because of their remarkable analogies and their sharp antithesis, they illustrate a “point of heresy” which, even today, intrinsically divides any project of framing a “psychology” or “philosophy of mind
As We Should Think? Lifelogging as a Re-emerging Method
No full textFrigo provides an alternative way to look at lifelogging and goes as far as to propose it as an indispensable method for scholars to better sense and understand the complex media-generated landscape around them. The chapter provides a broader historical contextualization of lifelogging and deepens the contemporary discussion on everyday life increasingly governed by sensors and algorithms. Inviting media scholars to embrace technical complexity in an auto-ethnographic fashion, Frigo introduces a set of instructions on how to get started to lifelog as a research method. Lastly, the chapter presents Frigo’s own manual lifelogging methodology as a concrete example of information retrieval and subsequent knowledge production.</p

Fausto Sozzini, la mortalità d’Adamo e la teologia moderna
No full textFausto Sozzini, Adam's Mortality and Early Modern Theology. In his dispute with Francesco Pucci, Fausto Sozzini argues that man was not created immortal but, being by nature subject to death, he could be made perpetually immune only through divine grace, which was a gift not included in his creation. It has thus been suggested that the Pucci-Sozzini querelle should be read as an expression of the broader debate that opposed the two 'souls' of modern theology, that is the Thomistic and the Augustinian. By reconstructing the late medieval theological debate on the mortality of Adam in the condition of innocence, the Author tries to show that Sozzini's theses are greatly indebted to Duns Scotus' criticisms of Thomas Aquinas
Business plan for a portable mini-fridge : Frigo Everywhere
No full textThis master thesis is the final step of the Master of Science in Management with specialization in Strategy & Entrepreneurship of Universidade Católica Portuguesa and studies the potential to launch a successful venture selling and renting portable mini-fridges to be used mainly at the beach. No more drinking hot drinks at the beach! With Frigo Everywhere anyone can have cold drinks at any time of the day. The first research question concerns the cooling devices market. The goal was to understand the existing options and compare them with the solution presented. A thorough competition and market analysis was conducted which showed that there are some options for taking cold products to the beach, but none of them refrigerates without being connected to a power supply. The second research question was about identifying and characterizing customer segments as well as understanding which features each segment is looking for in such product. There were two set of interviews and one online survey with 193 valid answers followed by a regression analysis. These showed that different segments were looking for different features, therefore, three different models were created: Frigo Backpack targeting young single people, Frigo Trolley targeting families and the Mini Frigo, a low-cost version. The final research question aimed to understand if Frigo Everywhere would be able to be a profitable business. After analyzing the market, the business model was defined, and a financial analysis was conducted showing it will be profitable on the second year and has a positive NPV.Esta tese de mestrado é a última etapa do Mestrado de Gestão com especialização em Estratégia e Empreendedorismo da Universidade Católica Portuguesa e estuda o potencial de lançar um empreendimento de sucesso que vende e aluga mini-frigoríficos portáteis para serem usados amioritariamente na praia. Chega de beber bebidas quentes na praia! Com o Frigo Everywhere, qualquer pessoa pode beber uma bebida fresca a qualquer hora do dia. Esta tese baseou-se em três questões de investigação. A primeira diz respeito ao mercado de produtos de refrigeração. O objetivo era conhecer as opções que já existem e compará-las com a solução apresentada. Foi realizada uma minuciosa análise da concorrência e do mercado, que mostrou a existência de algumas soluções para levar produtos frescos para a praia, mas nenhuma refrigera sem estar ligado a uma fonte de alimentação. A segunda questão de investigação foi sobre segmentação de clientes, assim como identificar que características cada segmento pretende no produto. Houve dois conjuntos de entrevistas e um questionário online com 193 respostas válidas, seguida de uma regressão que mostraram que segmentos diferentes procuravam características diferentes. Por este motivo, foram criados três modelos diferentes: Frigo Backpack para jovens solteiros, Frigo Trolley para famílias e Mini Frigo, uma versão low-cost. A pergunta final de investigação teve como objetivo entender se o Frigo Everywhere seria um negócio lucrativo. Depois de analisar o mercado, foi definido o modelo de negócios e foi realizada uma análise financeira mostrando que será rentável no segundo ano e tem um VAL positivo
Production of frigo plants and their yield characteristics for different strawberry cultivars in Van ecological conditions
Full text linkBu çalışma dört çilek çeşidinden (‘Aromas’, ‘Camarosa’, ‘Selva ve ‘Sweet Charlie’) alınan taze kollarından üretilen fidelerinin soğutucuda -2 °C’ de yaklaşık sekiz ay tutularak frigo fide üretimi eldesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Aynı zamanda, üretilen bu frigo fidelerin fide tutma oranı ve meyve verim özellikleri de tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, fide tutma oranı en yüksek %78.77 ile ‘Sweet Charlie’ çeşidinde gerçekleşmiştir. Meyve verimi bakımından en iyi sonucu 261.78 g/bitki ile ‘Aromas’ çeşidi vermiştir. En fazla meyve sayısı 22.10 adet/bitki ile ‘Aromas’ çeşidinde tespit edilmiştir. Meyve iriliği ve suda çözünür kuru madde oranı bakımından çeşitler arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak önemsiz çıkmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçların değerlendirilmesiyle Van iklim koşullarında frigo fide üretiminin başarılı bir şekilde yapılabileceği ve meyve veriminin de yeterli düzeyde sağlanabileceği ortaya çıkmıştır.The objective of this study was to obtain frigo plants in four strawberry cultivars (‘Aromas‘, ‘Camarosa‘, ‘Selva‘, and ‘Sweet Charlie‘) by keeping fresh runner plants at -2 Cº for approximately eight months. The transplantation success and fruit yield of plants obtained from these frigo plants were also determined. At the end of the study, ‘Sweet Charlie‘ had the highest (78.77 %) transplantation success. ‘Aromas‘ had the highest (261.78g fruit per plant) fruit yield. Moreover, ‘Aromas‘ had the highest fruit number (22.10 fruit per plant). There were no significant differences for fruit size and soluble solid content. By evaluation of the results, it was obvious that frigo plant production in Van ecological condition could be done successfully and fruit yield could be obtained satisfactorily from these frigo plants
