    Two-cardinal ideal operators and indescribability

    No full text
    A well-known version of Rowbottom's theorem for supercompactness ultrafilters leads naturally to notions of two-cardinal Ramseyness and corresponding normal ideals introduced herein. Generalizing results of Baumgartner [7, 8], Feng [22] and the first author [16, 17], we study the hierarchies associated with a particular version of two-cardinal Ramseyness and a strong version of two-cardinal ineffability, as well as the relationships between these hierarchies and a natural notion of transfinite two-cardinal indescribability.Comment: Made updates suggested by refere

    Food choice and emotions: Comparison between low and middle income populations

    No full text
    Food choice motives and food-related emotions in two income households were evaluated. 320 women between 22 and 55 years, half low income (LI) and half middle income (MI), from two Argentine cities, small and large, participated in this study. For food choice 23 motives were considered, using a Best Worse questionnaire. Regarding emotions, respondents checked all-that-applied of 33 emotions for 6 emblematic foods. Results were analyzed by generalized linear models and correspondence analysis. While differences between cities were small, differences between income levels were importantFil: Sosa, Miriam Patricia. Provincia de Buenos Aires. Dirección General de Cultura y Educación.

    Ketonen\u27s question and other cardinal sins

    No full text
    Intersection models of generic extensions obtained from a commutative projection systems of notions of forcing has recently regained interest, especially in the study of descriptive set theory. Here, we show that it provides a fruitful framework that opens the door to solving some open problems concerning compactness principles of small cardinals. To exemplify, from suitable assumptions, we construct intersection models satisfying ZFC and any of the following: 1. There is a weakly compact cardinal κκ carrying an indecomposable ultrafilter, yet κκ is not measurable. This answers a question of Ketonen from the late 1970\u27s. 2. For proper class many cardinals λλ, the least λλ-strongly compact cardinal is singular. This answers a question of Bagaria and Magidor who asked for merely two such cardinals. 3. There is a strongly inaccessible cardinal whose CC-sequence number is a singular cardinal. This answers a question of Lambie-Hanson and the first author

    Faith According to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger

    No full text
    The subject of this article is faith according to Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the present Pope Benedict XVI. At the beginning the author presents the Cardinal’s diagnosis of the state of faith in the contemporary world. Joseph Ratzinger shows both positive and negative features of this state. After having presented the sociological aspect, the author deals with the essence of the faith according to Ratzinger. The further analysis concern the sacramental dimension of the Christian faith. Because the real faith is necessarily the faith of the Church, the article also indicates its communion dimension. The author additionally discusses a very important topic concerning the relation of faith to reason and truth. At the end of the article the reader can find the teaching of Cardinal about the relation between faith and history

    A Note on a Group Preference Axiomatization with Cardinal Utility

    No full text
    Kenneth Arrow’s work on social welfare proposed a set of conditions that a function to aggregate ordinal preferences of the members of a group should satisfy, proving that it was not possible to satisfy all these assumptions simultaneously. Later, Ralph Keeney adapted these conditions and proposed a cardinal utility axiomatization for the problem of aggregating the utility functions. This note discusses in particular the condition of nondictatorship. It proposes stronger formulations for this condition to limit the maximum influence that an individual can have, and it presents the corresponding characterization of compliant group cardinal utility functions. An extension to address coalitions of individuals acting strategically is also discussed

    A simple approach to cardinal Lagrange and periodic Lagrange splines

    No full text
    AbstractWe derive via a simple formula an explicit expression for the cardinal Lagrange spline as a combination of decreasing null splines and a polynomial correction term near the origin. Many qualitative properties, new and old, are obtained as immediate consequences. The periodic analogue is also discussed. The method is much simpler than those in the previous work of Nilson, ter Morsche, Reimer, and the author, and is readily generalized to cardinal L-splines

    Types of Words Meanings that Define the Cardinal Points

    No full text
    The semantic structure of words that define the cardinal points is considered. Words of this type are of interest, on the one hand, as words embodying the most archetypal ideas about space, on the other hand, as lexemes in the structure of compound names of territories that have not received an official administrative status, but have distinct historical, cultural or socio-political characteristics (Russian North, East of Ukraine, etc.). The author proposes the classification of the components of the semantic structure of such words, developed by him, concludes that this structure is heterogeneous, that it is consistently realized in two meanings that are reflected in their lexicographic description: vector and territorial. The author draws attention to the fact that the territorial significance, in turn, is also subdivided into two types - general territorial and private territorial. The author emphasizes that the meaning of the names of the cardinal points should be considered private-territorial if they serve as a nomination for completely certain territorial entities that have a socio-political or cultural-historical originality. The author comes to the conclusion that, functioning in particular-territorial meanings, the names of the cardinal points are close to proper names: macrotoponyms and khoronyms, but they retain a special position among khoronyms and toponyms

    Red Cardinal, White Snow

    No full text
    In Red Cardinal, White Snow, Susan Ayres tells us in the first poem that childhood is not a meadow, and she will document the spirit shatter of mental illness and family trauma. But these stunning poems do so for the sake of talking back to ruin, showing us the beauty of love under pressure, how illumination coexists with heartache, and disorder strengthens kindness. These poems are a master class in the art of becoming human. ~Betsy Sholl The poems in Red Cardinal, White Snow by Susan Ayres allow readers to touch “the broken membrane between sanity and terror.” That membrane has all the voltage and punch of a live wire, but the powerful, heart-heavy, and earthy, images ground us, keep us safe as we are reminded how shockingly fragile living and loving well can be. ~Tomás Q. Morín In Red Cardinal, White Snow, the poet’s work has been to mold the mud of experience into a vase of words. And she has succeeded by calling on all the shaping devices of poetic form. From the brilliant title and perfectly chosen Octavio Paz epigraph, to the striking metaphors, and memorable diction (“susurrated stories”), Ayres’ poems transform howls of anguish into art. What an accomplishment. ~Bonnie Lyons, author of So Fa
