Tabula Rasa and Human Nature
No full textIt is widely believed that the philosophical concept of 'tabula rasa' originates with Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding and refers to a state in which a child is as formless as a blank slate. Given that both these beliefs are entirely false, this article will examine why they have endured from the eighteenth century to the present. Attending to the history of philosophy, psychology, psychiatry and feminist scholarship it will be shown how the image of the tabula rasa has been used to signify an originary state of formlessness, against which discourses on the true nature of the human being can differentiate their position. The tabula rasa has operated less as a substantive position than as a whipping post. However, it will be noted that innovations in psychological theory over the past decade have begun to undermine such narratives by rendering unintelligible the idea of an 'originary' state of human nature
Pharmaceutico - Analytical Study of Lokanatha Rasa
No full textLife science discoveries are helpful in improving the quality and standard of life and have applications in health and pharmaceutical industries. Rasashastra and Bhaishajya kalpana known as the art of vedic alchemy is a fusion between mineral and organic compounds. It is a branch of Ayurveda which has given great emphasis to the comprehensive knowledge of both mineral and herbal drugs, preparation, preservation and dispensing of the preserved drugs. It’s a pottali preparation having herbo- mineral ingredients. Lokanatha rasa is one of the pottali kalpa preparation done in tamra samputa method in lavana yantra. Ingredients are Parada, Gandhaka, Kaparda bhasma with nimbu swarasa and chitraka kwatha as bhavana dravya Indicated in kasa, swasa, grahani, prouda rajayakshma, arsha, shotha, gulma, dourbhalya. Lokanatha Rasa has PH 7.72. Elements present in Lokanatha rasa as confirmed by EDS study is Mercury - 44.12, Sulphur - 8.97, Calcium - 18.62, oxygen - 28.29
Extrapolation Properties of Multivariate Bernstein Polynomials
No full textWe consider some connections between the classical sequence of Bernstein polynomials and the Taylor expansion at the point 0 of a C^∞ function f defined on a convex open subset Ω⊂R^d containing the d-dimensional simplex S^d of R^d. Under general assumptions, we obtain that the sequence of Bernstein polynomials converges to the Taylor expansion and hence to the function f together with derivatives of every order not only on S^d but also on the whole Ω. This result yields extrapolation properties of the classical Bernstein operators and their derivatives. An extension of the Voronovskaja’s formula is also stated
A quantitative version of Trotter's approximation theorem
No full textAbstractA quantitative version, based on modified K-functionals, of the classical Trotter's theorem concerning the approximation of C0-semigroups is presented. The result is applied to the study of the degree of convergence of the iterated Bernstein operators on the N-dimensional simplex to their limiting semigroup

Motivasi Kerja Ditinjau Dari Rasa Bersyukur Karyawan
No full textMOTIVASI KERJA DITINJAU DARI RASA BERSYUKUR KARYAWAN Umi Kulsum Universitas Yudharta Pasuruan Kehilangan motivasi kerja memang terlihat sangat sepele, namun sebena ya kondisi ini sangat berbahaya bahkan dapat mengakibatkan kondisi yang lebih fatal. Akibat kehilangan motivasi kerja, tugas kantor tidak bisa dikerjakan dengan baik dan bisa dipecat karena tidak bisa bekerja secara konsisten. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh Rasa Bersyukur Karyawan terhadap Motivasi Kerja. Metode pengumpulan data yang dilakukan yaitu penelitian lapangan yang dimaksudkan untuk memperoleh data primer yang diperoleh dari skala psikologi serta pengumpulan data sekunder dengan cara uji validitas, uji reliabilitas dan analisis data menggunakan analisis regresi linier (satu prediktor). Hasil perhitungan uji validitas menggunakan rumus korelasi product moment person untuk skala motivasi kerja dan skala rasa bersyukur mendapatkan nilai yang bergerak sama yaitu dari 0,3 sampai 0,7. Sedangkan hasil uji reliabilitas menggunakan analisi varians HOYT untuk skala motivasi kerja dan skala rasa bersyukur juga mendapatkan hasil yang sama yaitu 0,91. Hasil analisis data menggunakan korelasi product moment person mendapatkan nilai sebesar 0,37 dan untuk hasil analisis data menggunakan metode analisis regresi linier (satu presiktor) mendapatkan nilai F-reg sebesar 18,91 yang lebih besar dari F-tab 1%=6,85. Dari hasil analisis data yang mengahasilkan nilai positif dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada pengaruh antara rasa bersyukur karyawan dengan motivasi kerja, yang artinya jika rasa bersyukur karyawan itu tinggi maka motivasi kerja yang dimiliki karyawan tersebut tinggi pula dan sebaliknya, jika rasa bersyukur karyawan itu rendah maka rendah pula motivasi kerja yang dimiliki karyawan tersebut
Markov operators, positive semigroups and approximation processes
No full textIn recent years several investigations have been devoted to the study of large classes of (mainly degenerate) initial-boundary value evolution problems in connection with the possibility to obtain a constructive approximation of the associated positive C_0-semigroups. In this research monograph we present the main lines of a theory which finds its root in the above-mentioned research field
