Apophatic Elements in the Theory and Practice of Psychoanalysis: Pseudo-Dionysius and C.G. Jung
No full textThis thesis identifies apophatic elements in the theory and practice of psychoanalysis through an examination of Pseudo-Dionysius and C.G. Jung. Pseudo-Dionysius brought together Greek and Biblical currents of negative theology and the via negativa. The apophatic concepts and metaphors which appear in the work of Pseudo-Dionysius are identified. The psychology of Jung can be read as a continuation and extension of the apophatic tradition. The presence of neoplatonic themes in Jung’s work is discussed, as well as his references to Pseudo-Dionysius. There is a thorough examination of Jung’s discussion of opposites, including his reception of Nicholas of Cusa’s concept of the coincidence of opposites. The role of the transcendent function in Jung’s psychology is reviewed. The work of contemporary scholars of religion, philosophers and Jungian theorists are compared to Jung’s using the lens of apophasis. There is an exploration of ways in which motifs in Pseudo-Dionysius’ Ecclesiatical Hierarchy resonate with contemporary psychoanalytic psychotherapy. This study demonstrates that apophatic motifs saturate Jung’s work. It provides a platform for research into apophasis in the wider field of psychoanalysis
C.G. Jung et les théologiens
No full textHélène Kiener. C.G. Jung and the theologians. (C.G. Jung et les théologiens.)
This article is by one of the students of the psychologist C.G. Jung. She practised as a Jungian psychoanalyst in Strasbourg from 1946 to 1970. She deals here with the theological dimension, mostly implicit, of Jung's thouth, which is generally overlooked by theology. The author shows how the major theologians, who are the exception to the general rule, make room for Jungian anthropology, and she calls for a more open attitude in theology, because of the light thrown by Jung's thought on many theological statements.L'article qu'on lira est d'une élève du psychologue des profondeurs C. G. Jung. Elle a pratiqué elle-même l'analyse jungienne à Strasbourg de 1946 à 1970. La question traitée porte sur la dimension théologique généralement implicite de la pensée de Jung, assez négligée d'une manière générale par la théologie. L'auteur expose la manière dont les principaux théologiens, qui font exception , font droit à l'anthropologie jungienne, et en appelle à une ouverture plus grande de la théologie en raison de la lumière que la pensée de Jung jette sur bien des affirmations théologiques.Kiener Hélène.

A study of earmould modification effects on the frequency response of body worn hearing aids
No full textA study was made of the influence of different receivers and the effects of variation of ear mould sound bore diameter, length and parallel vents on the frequency response of body worn hearing aids. In order to obtain real ear estimates of the magnitude of the effects, these measurements were made using a modified Zwislocki (IRPIDB-100) ear simulator. The results indicate that while there may be little value in varying the length of the sound bore, diameter variation could be very helpful in the control of the high frequency response of a hearing aid. A wider diameter of the sound bore results in an improved high frequency response, whereas poorer high frequency response is associated with narrower diameters of the sound bore. Parallel venting of ear moulds results in a reduction in the low frequency response of a hearing aid. The length and the diameter of the vent determine the amount of the low frequency cut in the response. The shorter length and the wider diameter of the vent result in a greater amount of low frequency reduction. The effects of parallel venting of ear moulds are independent of the frequency response of the receiver. The study was made using the receivers commonly used with the body worn hearing aids in India. The data of the ear mould modification effects may prove useful in predicting the effects of such work in a clinical situation. However, no subjective assessment of ear mould modification effects were made in this study

An Investigation of Transitional Phenomena from Laminar to Turbulent Natural Convection using Compressible Direct Numerical Simulation
No full textThe transitional phenomena from laminar to turbulent natural convection and the development process inside the channel are investigated using compressible direct numerical simulation (DNS). Numerical method of Roe scheme with preconditioning and dual time stepping are used for addressing natural convection flows with large temperature differences, which are low speed but the densities are variable. The results are qualitatively well consistent with the experimental data [1] and the transition point can be accurately captured. In addition, the development process respected to time can be clearly identified for four stages, which are laminar, unstable process, reliminarization and turbulence. After reaching the quasi-steady state, it can be observed that the laminar, transition and turbulence coexist in the same flow filed. Most important of all, the transitional phenomena are naturally induced by the effects of interactions between the buoyancy and shear stress without adding any fluctuations at inlet. It means that the numerical scheme and physical model adopted in this study has the potential to be a universal case for estimating the accuracy of turbulence model because the characteristics of parameters-free and independence from inlet condition
Poiesis and Obstruction in Art Practice
No full textThis PhD thesis examines the concept of poiesis, that is ‘calling into existence that which was not there before’, in the context of obstruction in studio practice. It poses the question ‘Is there a methodology that engages with obstruction which in turn calls new work’? In this thesis, the concept of poiesis emerging from the late Dr. Murray Cox’s ‘Aeolian Mode’, is analyzed alongside a concept of praxis, (a philosophical companion to poiesis), familiar to artistic practice. This thesis describes the orientation of the original idea, The Aeolian Mode, clinically developed by Dr. Murray Cox in Broadmoor Psychiatric Hospital. This PhD seeks to identify if there are similar ‘tenets of approach’ held within the methodology of ‘The Aeolian Mode’, that would be useful or are identifiable in artistic studio practice. This thesis draws on the work of the philosopher, Professor Richard Kearney, specifically Kearney’s ideas on the necessity of ‘the other’ for ‘radical possibility’ to occur. It maps a context of both Freudian and Jungian interpretations of art practice, identifying how these ideas have shaped the way art is seen today. Furthermore, it challenges the Freudian idea of ‘pathography’ and favours a Jungian approach of ‘individuation’ in the understanding of creative processes. It develops a ‘methodology of the conversation’, interviewing students, established artists, tutors about their approaches to obstruction/poiesis in art practice. Additionally, it examines my own obstruction to painting and identifies the methodology that released me from this obstruction. Conducting these interviews on art practice has enabled me to confirm my initial concerns about Freudian ‘pathography’ whilst validating the possibility of the Jungian concept of ‘individuation’ being of use to art practice. Finally, this PhD discusses the implications for further study and research, which have emerged during the ‘methodology of the conversation’ and the task of dissolving my obstruction to painting
Microbial aspects of anaerobic methane oxidation with sulfate as electron acceptor
No full textAnaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is an important methane sink in the ocean but the microbes responsible for AOM are as yet resilient to cultivation. It was shown that AOM was coupled to sulfate reduction (SR) and this gave rise to current research which aims to develop a biotechnological process in which methane is used an electron donor for SR. This thesis describes the microbial analysis of an enrichment capable of high rate AOM (286 µmol.gdry weight-1.day-1) coupled to SR using a novel submerged membrane bioreactor system. Initially AOM rates were extremely low (0.004 mmol L-1 d-1), but AOM and SR increased exponential over the course of 884 days to 0.60 mmol L-1 d-1. The responsible organisms doubled every 3.8 months. By constructing a clone library with subsequent sequencing and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), we showed that the responsible methanotrophs belong to the ANME-2a subgroup of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea, and that sulfate reduction is most likely performed by sulfate reducing bacteria commonly found in association with other ANME related archaea in marine sediments. Another relevant portion of the bacterial sequences can be clustered within the order of Flavobacteriales but their role remains to be elucidated. FISH analyses showed that the ANME-2a cells occur as single cells without close contact to the bacterial syntrophic partner. Incubation with 13C labeled methane showed substantial incorporation of 13C label in the bacterial C16 fatty acids (bacterial; 20, 44 and 49%) and in archaeal lipids, archaeol and hydroxyl-archaeol (21 and 20%, respectively). This confirms that both archaea and bacteria are responsible for the anaerobic methane oxidation in a bioreactor enrichment inoculated with Eckernförde bay sediment. To unravel the pathway of this syntrophic conversion, the effect of possible intermediates on AOM and SR was assessed. To investigate which kind of waste and process streams can be treated by the methanotrophic sulfate-reducing enrichment, the effect of environmental conditions and different substrates was assessed. The optimum pH, salinity and temperature for SR with methane by the enrichment were 7.5, 30‰ and 20°C, respectively. The biomass had a good affinity for sulfate (Km 75 KPa) and AOM was completely inhibited at 2.4 (±0.1) mM sulfide. The enrichment utilized sulfate, thiosulfate, sulfite and elemental sulfur as alternative electron acceptors for methane oxidation and formate, acetate and hydrogen as alternative electron donors for sulfate reduction. As a co-substrate for methane oxidation only methanol stimulated the conversion of 13C labeled CH4 to 13CO2 in batch incubations of Eckernförde bay sediment, other possible co-substrates had a negative effect on the AOM rate. The research described in this thesis shows the possibility of enriching slow growing methane oxidizing communities but also shows the difficulties in applying this process for a biotechnological purpose because of the extreme slow doubling times and the lack of understanding of the metabolic routes used by these organisms. <br/

Publisher Copyright: © 2022, The Author(s).Virtually anything can be and is ranked; people, institutions, countries, words, genes. Rankings reduce complex systems to ordered lists, reflecting the ability of their elements to perform relevant functions, and are being used from socioeconomic policy to knowledge extraction. A century of research has found regularities when temporal rank data is aggregated. Far less is known, however, about how rankings change in time. Here we explore the dynamics of 30 rankings in natural, social, economic, and infrastructural systems, comprising millions of elements and timescales from minutes to centuries. We find that the flux of new elements determines the stability of a ranking: for high flux only the top of the list is stable, otherwise top and bottom are equally stable. We show that two basic mechanisms — displacement and replacement of elements — capture empirical ranking dynamics. The model uncovers two regimes of behavior; fast and large rank changes, or slow diffusion. Our results indicate that the balance between robustness and adaptability in ranked systems might be governed by simple random processes irrespective of system details.Peer reviewe

Engineering Structural And Magnetic Properties Of Mgo.95mn O.o5fe2o4 Thin Films Using 200 Mev Au Ions
No full textPulsed laser deposited thin films of Mgo.95Mn o.05Fe2O4 ferrite were irradiated by 200 MeV Au14+ with a maximum dose up to 1 × 1012 ions/cm2. The as-deposited and irradiated thin films are investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman Spectroscopy, Field emission electron microscopy (FESEM) and dc magnetization measurements. XRD and Raman spectroscopy measurements reflect the cubic spinel structure of films before and after irradiation. FESEM measurements demonstrate that films are composed of nano rods and nanocrystalline grains. Magnetic hysteresis loop measurements reveal that all the films have ferrimagnetic ordering at room temperature with enhancement in the coercive field and remnant magnetization due to irradiation. © 2009 The Ceramic Society of Japan.
