Seven Cycles : Public Rituals : Mary Beth Edelson
No full text"With a deep understanding of the dimension in which spirituality and esthetics blend into focus, Mary Beth Edelson offers us insights into object, process and existence that restore the universal balance which has been noticeably absent in masculist views of the last five millenia." -- p.

Space telescope and optical reverberation mapping project. II. Swift and HST reverberation mapping of the accretion disk of NGC 5548
No full textRecent intensive Swift monitoring of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548 yielded 282 usable epochs over 125 days across six UV/optical bands and the X-rays. This is the densest extended active galactic nucleus (AGN) UV/optical continuum sampling ever obtained, with a mean sampling rate <0.5 day. Approximately daily Hubble Space Telescope UV sampling was also obtained. The UV/optical light curves show strong correlations () and the clearest measurement to date of interband lags. These lags are well-fit by a wavelength dependence, with a normalization that indicates an unexpectedly large disk radius of lt-day at 1367 Å, assuming a simple face-on model. The U band shows a marginally larger lag than expected from the fit and surrounding bands, which could be due to Balmer continuum emission from the broad-line region as suggested by Korista and Goad. The UV/X-ray correlation is weaker () and less consistent over time. This indicates that while Swift is beginning to measure UV/optical lags in general agreement with accretion disk theory (although the derived size is larger than predicted), the relationship with X-ray variability is less well understood. Combining this accretion disk size estimate with those from quasar microlensing studies suggests that AGN disk sizes scale approximately linearly with central black hole mass over a wide range of masses
Swift monitoring of NGC 4151: Evidence for a second x-ray/UV reprocessing
No full textSwift monitoring of NGC 4151 with an ~6 hr sampling over a total of 69 days in early 2016 is used to construct light curves covering five bands in the X-rays (0.3–50 keV) and six in the ultraviolet (UV)/optical (1900–5500 Å). The three hardest X-ray bands (>2.5 keV) are all strongly correlated with no measurable interband lag, while the two softer bands show lower variability and weaker correlations. The UV/optical bands are significantly correlated with the X-rays, lagging ~3–4 days behind the hard X-rays. The variability within the UV/optical bands is also strongly correlated, with the UV appearing to lead the optical by ~0.5–1 days. This combination of gsim3 day lags between the X-rays and UV and lesssim1 day lags within the UV/optical appears to rule out the "lamp-post" reprocessing model in which a hot, X-ray emitting corona directly illuminates the accretion disk, which then reprocesses the energy in the UV/optical. Instead, these results appear consistent with the Gardner & Done picture in which two separate reprocessings occur: first, emission from the corona illuminates an extreme-UV-emitting toroidal component that shields the disk from the corona; this then heats the extreme-UV component, which illuminates the disk and drives its variability

Comments on the conceptualization of case study/s in psychoanalysis according to Marshall Edelson
No full textEl presente trabajo forma parte del plan investigación de una beca de posgrado (Universidad Nacional de La Plata) en torno a la utilización del Diseño de Estudios de Casos (DECs) en el psicoanálisis actual y del proyecto de investigación “Debates epistemológicos y metodológicos en torno a la construcción de conocimiento en psicoanálisis” (UNLP). Se tiene por objetivo presentar las ideas del psiquiatra Marshall Edelson sobre Estudios de Casos en su obra Psychoanalysis, a theory in crisis (1990), con un tratamiento escaso en el ámbito local. El texto aborda temáticas actuales y revive las polémicas suscitadas por la utilización de los DECs en el psicoanálisis.
En esta oportunidad se presentan las elaboraciones teóricas del autor así como su análisis reflexivo, con el objetivo de realizar un aporte al campo de las discusiones contemporáneas sobre el estatuto científico-metodológico del psicoanálisis en la actualidad. Edelson mantiene un intercambio tanto con quienes sostienen que el psicoanálisis no posee credibilidad científica por no utilizar otros métodos de indagación, así como con quienes afirman que esta disciplina no necesita ajustarse a los cánones de procedimiento y racionalidad científica.This work is part of the research plan of a postgraduate scholarship (Universidad Nacional de La Plata) around the use of Case Study Design (CSD) in current Psychoanalysis and of the research project "Epistemological and methodological debates around the construction of knowledge in psychoanalysis" (UNLP). The aim is to present the ideas of psychiatrist Marshall Edelson on Case Studies in his work "Psychoanalysis, a theory in crisis" (1988), with little treatment at the local level. The text deals with current topics and revives the polemics raised by the use of CSD in Psychoanalysis.
In this opportunity the theoretical elaborations of the author are presented as well as his reflexive analysis, with the objective of making a contribution to the field of the contemporary discussions on the scientific methodological statute of the Psychoanalysis in the present time. Edelson maintains an exchange both with those who maintain that Psychoanalysis does not have scientific credibility because it does not use other methods of investigation, as well as with those who affirm that this discipline does not need to adjust to the canons of procedure and scientific rationality.Facultad de Psicologí
