Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

The influence of wood loading on its changes of acoustical properties
No full textNa šestih izbranih lesnih vrstah (smreka, jesen, bukev, oreh in češnja) smo med navlaževanjem in sušenjem preizkušancev proučevali spremembe modula elastičnosti, frekvenčni odziv in koeficient dušenja. Uporabili smo resonančno metodo z impulzivnim % elastičnim mehanskim vzbujanjem. Ugotovili smo, da je hitrost spremembe modula elastičnosti pri procesu sušenja dvakrat hitrejša kot pri navlaževanju. S povečevanjem vlažnosti se je koeficient dušenja zmanjševal, vendar so zveze statistično nezanesljive. Najmanjše dušenje zvoka smo zasledili pri jesenovini, smrekovini in češnjevini. Sprememba modula elastičnosti je bila v linearni odvisnosti od povprečne vlažnosti medtem, ko je bil odziv dušenja zvoka hitrejši, kar pripisujemo nastalemu vlažnostnemu gradientu.On a six selected species of wood - spruce, ash, oak, beech, walnut and cherry- all test specimens were moistened and dried, we investigated changes in the following modules: fundamental frequency, sound damping and elasticity. The method used was resonance with elastic mechanical excitation. We came to conclusion, that modulus of elasticity in drying process changed two times faster than in the moistening process. With moisture increasing, the sound damping coefficient was decreasing, but changes have not been proved statistically important. Lowest sound damping was detected in spruce, cherry and ash. The change in modulus of elasticity was in linear dependency with average moisture content, while response of sound damping was faster. We concluded, that this is due to the moisture gradient
Analysis of factors affecting the price and quality of guitars
No full textKupci kitar imajo velikokrat težavo, kako oceniti realno vrednost inštrumenta. Zanimalo nas je, kateri so najpomembnejši dejavniki, ki vplivajo na kakovost in ceno kitar. Z anketo smo ugotovili, da so za kupce najpomembnejši: zvok, les trupa in vratu ter nekoliko manj blagovna znamka. S pomočjo AHP metode smo ugotovili, da je najpomembnejši kriterij pri oceni kitare izdelava samega inštrumenta, na samo ceno pa najbolj vpliva ubiralka kitare.The guitar buyers are often faced by dilemma on how to assess the real value of an instrument. Therefore, in my research assignment, I have focused on determining the most influential factors with an impact on quality and price of a guitar. Using the poll method we have come to the conclusion that customer opinions place the highest value on guitar sound and on quality of wood, consisting guitar neck and bodybrand of a guitar is less important to potential customers. The applied AHP method has pointed out the process of guitar making as the key criteria in assessing the guitar qualityguitar fingerboard dictates the height of the price
Archaeometallurgical characterization of a late Iron Age helmet
No full textV magistrskem delu so predstavljene raziskave čelade, ki je najdena bila v novoodkritem pokopališču Pezdirčeva njiva, v kraju Podzemelj. Pokopališče sega v pozno Halštatsko obdobje oziroma pozno železno dobo (500–200 let pr. n. št.). Za čelado lahko menimo, da je ena najpomembnejših arheoloških najdb zadnjih let v Sloveniji, v svetu pa je najdenih le okoli 120 čelad.
Namen dela je bila karakterizacija mikrostrukture, podrobna analiza kemijske sestave vzorcev iz različnih delov čelade in ugotovitev predvidene poti izdelave. Pri takih najdbah morajo biti vzorci vzeti z veliko previdnosti in na čim manj opaznih mestih. Vzorce se je analiziralo na vrstičnem elektronskem mikroskopu (SEM), Kemijska analiza pa je bila opravljena s pomočjo energijsko disperzijske spektroskopije (EDS). Preiskave so potekale tako na območju kovinske osnove kot območju na robu, kjer je prisotna oksidna plast. Dodatno se je izvedla še analiza z uklonom povratno sipanih elektronov (EBSD) za ugotavljanje orientacije in velikosti zrn. V drugem delu smo na podlagi rezultatov kemijske sestave delcev čelade izdelali zlitino, ki smo jo nato ročno kovali po različnih protokolih. Vzorce kovanja se je analiziralo s svetlobnim mikroskopom.
Rezultati kažejo, da je kovinska osnova bronaste čelade sestavljena iz ena faze bakra in kositra, prisotni pa so tudi podolgovati vključki PbS. V mikrostrukturi opazimo dvojčične meje in drsne pasove, kar skupaj z vključki nakazuje na precejšno deformacijo pri izdelavi. Oksidna plast je neenakomerna in je debelejša na zunanji strani, kjer je prisotna tudi zemlja. Iz primerjave rezultatov kovanja z analizo najdene čelade, lahko sklepamo, da se je ta izdelala z izmeničnim hladnim kovanjem in žarjenjem.The master\u27s thesis presents the research of a helmet found in the newly discovered cemetery of Pezdirčeva njiva, in Podzemelj. The cemetery dates to the Late Hallstatt period or the Late Iron Age (500–200 years BC). The helmet can be considered one of the most important archaeological finds of recent years in Slovenia, while only about 120 helmets have been found in the world.
The aim of the work was to characterise the microstructure, to analyse in detail the chemical composition of the samples from different parts of the helmet and to identify the intended manufacturing route. In such finds, samples must be taken with great care and in the least conspicuous places possible. The samples were imaged on a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and chemical analysis was carried out by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Investigations were carried out both in the metallic base area and in the area at the edge where the oxide layer is present. In addition, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was carried out to determine grain orientation and size. In the second part, results of the chemical composition of the helmet particles were used to produce an alloy, which was then hand forged using different protocols. The forged bar samples were imaged using a light microscope.
The results show that the metallic base of the bronze helmet consists of a single phase of copper and tin, with elongated PbS inclusions. The microstructure shows twin boundaries and slip lines, which, together with the inclusions, indicate significant deformation during manufacturing. The oxide layer is uneven and is thicker on the outside, where soil is also present. Comparing the results of the forging with the analysis of the helmet found, it can be concluded that the helmet was made by alternating cold forging and annealing
