Nurturing Biophilia: Merlin and Sanderling
No full textThe author develops a narrative of Merlin predation to illustrate the growth of biophilia. Initially descriptive, the story evolves by following an iterative process of questioning and relationship building, which leads to an informed and purposeful application of biophilia

Entangled Lives: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds, and Shape Our Futures
No full textMerlin Sheldrake, Biologist, speaker, and New York Times best-selling author. - Thinking about fungi makes the world look different. Most fungi live out of sight, yet make up a massively diverse kingdom of organisms that support and sustain nearly all living systems. Fungi throw our concepts of individuality and even intelligence into question. They can change our minds, heal our bodies, and help remediate environmental disaster. In this talk, Merlin will discuss the ways these extraordinary organisms – and our relationships with them – change our understanding of the planet on which we live, and the ways that we think, feel, and behave.https://scholarworks.boisestate.edu/ideas_of_nature_gallery/1041/thumbnail.jp
Merlin and Nimiane : the unifying force for the national unity of Britain at the waning of the Middle Ages as depicted by an anonymous author of the fifteenth-century "Prose Merlin"
No full textThe article analyses a special portrayal of the relationship between Merlin and Nimiane in the English fifteenth-century Prose Merlin. The power couple escapes from their previously distinct and usually dubious renditions to perform a new function that serves the nation-building of a reviving civilization. The political and religious inclinations of the anonymous author are visible in their almost impeccable conduct towards their sovereigns, God, and themselves. The article analyses the unique presentation of the two in the light of the political and social circumstances of the waning of the Middle Ages in Britain and contrasts them with a short analysis of other medieval portrayals of the couple
Some observations on 'relatio' and 'demonstratio' in the Middle Ages: A Metalinguistic Glance at a few Texts od Ockham.
No full textThe present contribution deals with some meanings and uses of the terms relatio and demonstratio during the Middle Ages, in a very particular and narrow perspective. Two essential steps for the discussion are proposed: the first part summarises the grammatical observations contained in the Greek and Latin treatises on grammar written between the 2nd and 6th century, whereas the second part discusses two texts and a selection of a few quotations of one particular author, interestingly linked to both the concepts and terms of relatio and demonstratio, relativus and demonstrativus, from different points of view: William of Ockham (henceforth simply Ockham, as he is traditionally called), philosopher, theologian and Franciscan friar, born in 1285 in Ockham and dying in Munich in 1347. The reading of the selected texts, involving some discussion on demonstrative and relative pronouns, seems to suggest that at least two traditions are involved: on the one hand, the philosophical (logical and theological) perspective, mostly based on a long-standing tradition coming from Aristotle, and on the other, the grammatical and metalinguistic heritage, derived from the work of ancient grammarians of the Hellenistic era. This second approach is the focus of the analysis and comments
"Thank me therefore": Social Prestige, Probity and Self-determination of Nymue's character in Malory's "Le Morte Darthur"
No full textCollective magnetic dynamics in artificial spin ice probed by ac susceptibility
No full textWe report on the study of the thermal dynamics of square artificial spin ice, probed by means of temperature and frequency dependent AC susceptibility. Pronounced influence of the inter-island coupling strength was found on the frequency response of the samples. Subsequent analysis of the frequency and coupling dependent freezing temperatures in the framework of the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann law, discusses the interpretation of these phenomenological parameters in terms of the sample microscopic features. The high sensitivity and robust signal to noise ratio of AC susceptibility, validates the latter as a promising and simple experimental technique for resolving the dynamics and temperature driven dynamics crossovers for the case of artificial spin ice
Du ‘déponent’ guillaumien à l’‘hypothèse inaccusative’. Étapes d’une notion métalinguistique.
No full textÎn ianuarie 1943 apăreae aarticolul lui Gustave Guillaume: „Există un deponent în limba franceză?”. Făcând apel la binomul „diateză analitică – diateză sintetică”, autorul proiectează o lumină nouă asupra transformărilor sistemului verbal latin în limba franceză: el reuşeşte, în cele din urmă, să izoleze o grupă mică de verbe intransitive (cele precum „a muri”, „a se naşte”, „a intra”, „a ieşi” ş.a.m.d.) care, în relaţie cu categoria deponentului, formează o nouă diateză mixtă sintetică franceză şi reprezintă o moştenire directă din limba latină. Alţi lingvişti s-au preocupat de comportamentul intranzitivelor (splitintransitivity). În cadrul gramaticii relaţionale, Perlmutter (1978) introduce Unaccusative Hypothesis, demonstrând că subiectul prezintă caracteristici tipice ale obiectului. Pe de altă parte, abordările semantice, referindu-se la anumite criterii, printre care cel al agentivităţii şi cel „télique” sau perfectiv, au subliniat fundamental semantic al sintaxei verbelor inacuzative.In January 1943, Gustave Guillaume published an article entitled: “Is there a deponent in French?”. By using the binomial “analytical voice – synthetic voice”, the author sheds new light on the transformation of the Latin verbal system in French: he isolates a small group of intransitive verbs (such as ‘mourir’, ‘naître’, ‘entrer’, ‘sortir’ etc.) pertaining to the category of Latin deponents, which have formed in French a new synthetic mixed voice, and are a direct legacy of Latin. Since then, the behaviour of intransitive verbs has been an area of some interest for other linguists (cf. split intransitivity). Within the framework of relational grammar, Perlmutter (1978) introduced the Unaccusative Hypothesis, showing that the subject of these verbs has the typical characteristics of an object. On the other hand, semantic approaches have put forward a set of criteria like agentivity and telicity in order to stress the semantic basis of the syntax of unaccusative verbs.En janvier 1943, paraissait l’article de Gustave Guillaume : « Existe-t-il un déponent en français ?». En faisant appel au binôme ‘voix analytique - voix synthétique’, l’auteur jette une lumière nouvelle sur les transformations du système verbal latin en français : il parvient enfin à isoler un petit groupe de verbes intransitifs (tels que ‘mourir’, ‘naître’, ‘entrer’, ‘sortir’ etc.) qui, relevant de la catégorie du déponent, forment une nouvelle voix mixte synthétique française et représentent un héritage direct du latin. D’autres linguistes se sont ensuite intéressés au comportement des intransitifs (cf. split intransitivity). Dans le cadre de la grammaire relationnelle, Perlmutter (1978) introduit la UnaccusativeHypothesis, montrant que le sujet présente des caractéristiques typiques de l’objet. D’autre part, les approches sémantiques se référant à certains critères dont l’agentivité et la télicité, ont souligné le fondement sémantique de la syntaxe des verbes inaccusatifs
