EFFICACY OF PLACEBO IN THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH AMENORRHEA
No full textThirty-two amenorrheic patients were treated with a tablet oral placebo preparation for a period varying from 30 to 180 days. Another 24 amenorrheic patients were also treated with a placebo administered i.m. for a period varying from 30 to 120 days. As a consequence of the treatment, 27 patients (48%) had menstrual bleedings. The progestogen withdrawal test responsive patients were more responsive to placebo (73 vs. 14% in the progestogen withdrawal test nonresponsive, p < 0.001). The time lag between starting the medication and the first bleeding varied between 4 and 120 days with a mean value of 33.9 (SD 26.3). Oral placebo was more effective than the intramuscular form (56 vs. 38%, p < 0.05)

Amplitude and Phase Modulation Effects of Waveform Distortion in Power Systems
No full textThe amplitude and phase modulation effects of waveform distortion in power systems are analyzed. Recalls on Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Phase Modulation (PM) are given with particular reference to spectral components. Then, simple inverse formulas are obtained to demonstrate that summations of one or more small tones frequencies to a given tone of interest can always be interpreted in terms of AM and PM. The usefulness of AM and PM representation, in particular in the presence of interharmonic tones, is demonstrated with reference to simple case-studies and practical applications
Verkörperte Freiheit. Erste Natur, Zweite Natur und Fragmentierung
No full textIf spirit is constituted through recognition, then the fact that recognition somehow depends on (first) nature – as I will argue in the first part of this paper – will have deep consequences on how we are to conceive the genesis and the structure of the social and historical world, and the very notion of social freedom that participating in this world makes possible. Secondly, I will argue that even at the spiritual level recognition cannot be conceived on its own terms, but must rather be thought by means of the notions of second nature and habit. The move from recognition to second nature implies a dialectical embodied notion of freedom. Finally, in the third part of the paper I will argue that, once we understand recognition in terms of embodied second nature, then we have to take into account how much the contingency, the fragility and the plurality of second nature affect our notion of freedom
Aesop's Fables
No full textFiona Waters, I am learning, is a prominent creator of children's books; she has produced some eight of them! She and Fulvio Testa have combined to make a very good fable book here. Testa's style remains similar to the style he showed in his 1989 Barron edition encompassing twenty fables. Here he has tripled the number of fables. The inspiration of some scenes remains the same. The illustrations there were branded by the unusual multi-colored borders. Here the illustrations take up the whole of each right-hand page, while texts are on the left-hand pages. The sleeping hare there had been playing solitaire. Now he is on an ipod (title-page and 31)! WC there and here are the same in inspiration, but the venue has changed (11). The cover-page and dust-jacket have a fine FC, which can also be found on 14. There is real distance between these two characters! FS (29) may have improved. The Tortoise and the Eagle (33) is a fine illustration; it gives us a sense of the proud tortoise's smallness. I love the cat hanging with one eye open and fixed on the mouse under the dresser (35). DLS is told twice to accommodate two different versions (38-41). The Lion, the Bear and the Fox (86) does a good job of showing the large beasts' exhaustion. This version substitutes a trap of sticks for the hunter's bow in AD (74). The telling of some fables might make them seem banal; an example is The Hunting Dog, the Lion and the Fox (72). There is a small head-piece for each text besides the full-page illustration. The two illustrations often work together well. A good example is FWT (84): the headpiece illustrates the trap and the severed tail. The full-page illustration shows the fox without a tail trying to persuade the other foxes to get rid of their tails too.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)Signed by both Waters and TestaFirst printingRetold by Fiona Water
Selbstbewusstsein und zweite Natur
No full textMein Ziel ist es, in diesem Aufsatz das Konzept des Selbstbewusstseins in den Blickpunkt zu rücken, indem ich die wechselseitige Verknüpfung der Begriffe „Anerkennung“ und „zweite Natur“ aufzeige. Diese Lesart soll in der vorliegenden Untersuchung gerechtfertigt werden, und zwar durch eine genaue Interpretation des Selbstbewusstseins-Kapitels der Phänomenologie des Geistes und anschließend über eine Deutung des systematischen Zusammenhangs zwischen diesem Text und jenem Abschnitt der Enzyklopädie, in dem Hegel seine Theorie von zweiter Natur als Gewohnheit entwickelt.
Il mio intervento ha lo scopo di mettere a tema il concetto di autocoscienza mostrando la connessione reciproca tra le nozioni di autocoscienza e di seconda natura. Questa lettura è giustificata attraverso una interpretazione articolata della sezione “Autocoscienza” della Fenomenologia dello spirito e quindi attraverso un’interpretazione della connessione sistematica tra questo testo e la sezione dell’Enciclopedia in cui Hegel sviluppa la teoria della seconda natura come abitudine
