Rudolf Otto filosofo della religione
No full textLo straordinario successo del Sacro (1917), che ha reso celebre Rudolf Otto, ha provocato, per contraccolpo, la diffusione di una figura stilizzata dell’autore, impoverita dall’oblio toccato al resto della sua produzione e da letture parziali e semplificative. Una ricostruzione genetica del modo in cui Otto impone la nozione di «heilig» nel lessico tedesco specializzato, muovendo da Lutero e opponendo al neokantismo una lettura friesiana del trascendentale, fa emergere la qualità filosofica di una teoria del religioso che rivela convergenze insospettate con la fenomenologia husserliana. The extraordinary success of The Holy (1917) made Rudolf Otto famous, but it also contributed to propagate a simplified figure of the author. The rest of his work was condemned to oblivion, which caused misleading interpretations of The Holy itself. A genetic reconstruction of the way in which Otto established the term «heilig» in the technical German proves to be fruitful. When considering his interpretation of Luther and his Fries-based opposition to a neoKantian approach to the concept of «transcendental», the philosophical relevance of Otto’s theory of religion can be fully recognized, as well as unsuspected links to Husserlian phenomenology
The Repair Kit Problem with positive replenishment lead times and fixed ordering costs
Get PDFThe Repair Kit Problem (RKP) concerns the determination of a set of items taken by a service engineer to perform on-site product support. Such a set is called a kit. Models developed in the literature have always ignored the lead times associated with delivering items to replenish the kit, thereby limiting the practical relevance of the proposed solutions. Motivated by a real life case, we develop a model with positive lead times to control the replenishment quantities of the items in the kit, and study the performance of ( s , S ) policies under a service objective. The choice for ( s , S ) policies is made in order to accommodate fixed ordering costs. We present a method to calculate job fill rates with exact expressions, and discuss a heuristic approach to optimize the reorder level and order-up-to level for each item in the kit. The empirical utility of the model is assessed on real world data from an equipment manufacturer and useful insights are offered to after-sales managers

Rudolf Hilferding on English Mercantilism
Get PDFIn 1911 Rudolf Hilferding, the author of the famous book Finance Capital: A Study of the Latest Phase of Capitalist Development, published an article on the history of English mercantilism in Die neue Zeit, the theoretical organ of the Social Democratic Party of Germany edited by Karl Kautsky. The writing of the article was motivated by the publication, the previous year, of the third volume of Theories of Surplus-Value, containing Marx’s analysis of the work of Richard Jones, as well as by the simultaneous appearance of a German edition of Thomas Mun’s England’s Treasure by Forraign Trade. This article introduces the present author’s English translation of Hilferding’s article on mercantilism, titled “The Early Days of English Political Economy,” previously available only in German, and contextualizes it in the framework of the history of Marxist scholarship.Fil: Gaido, Daniel Fernando.

Inventory control of service parts in the final phase
Get PDFThe main aim of this study is to increase insight in the underlying causes of deforestation and forest degradation by analysing the factors that induce unsustainable land use. Several types of actors involved in the deforestation process are taken into account: the decision-making processes of various economic agents are discussed, paying attention to the factors that influence either directly or indirectly the way in which they use the forests. The analysis may help to determine the responses of each of the actors to policy measures aimed at reducing the rate of tropical forest loss so that the effectiveness of these instruments can be assessed.
Code choice and code-switching in Swiss-German internet relay chat rooms
No full textIn the German-speaking regions of Switzerland, dialect is spoken by all social groups in most communicative situations, Standard German being used only when prescribed. Swiss dialects rarely appeared in written form before the 1980s, apart from the genre of dialect literature. Due to the growing acceptance of informal writing styles in many European languages, dialect is increasingly employed for written personal communication, in particular in computer-mediated communication (CMC). In Swiss Internet Relay Chat (IRC) rooms, varieties of German are used side by side as all chatters have a command of both standard and dialectal varieties. Depending on the channel, the proportion of dialectal contributions can be as high as 90 percent. The choice of a particular variety depends on both individual preference and on the predominant variety used within a specific thread. In this paper I take a quantitative approach to language variation in IRC and demonstrate how such an approach can help embed qualitative research on code-switching in CMC
Rudolf Arnheim's psychology of art
Get PDFThe presented thesis introduces Rudolf Arnheim's core claims regarding psychology of art. Arnheim's conceptions of expression, affectivity, visual dynamics, centric and eccentric composition (etc.) are investigated within the text. Furthermore, more recent empirical findings are brought to attention to confront Arnheim's view. A complete picture of Arnheim's theory of expression should be drawn in historical context. The empirical study hereby conducted offers a closer look at a number of Arnheim's hypotheses regarding the "weight" phenomenon, as described by author. The perception of "weight" is observed in relation to the chromatic characteristics of presented stimuli. Keywords Rudolf Arnheim, Gestalttheorie, theory of expression, affectivity, perceptio

Get PDFRudolf Otto in the Estonian Intellectual History
This article deals with the reception and impact of Rudolf Otto in the Estonian intellectual history during the last hundred years. It is shown how discussions concerning Otto’s works and views began in the 1920s and have continued all the way until today. The analysis is split into three major eras: the era of independence in the 1920s and 1930s, the era of the Soviet occupation (including authors writing in exile) and the era of regained independence since the early 1990s. It is shown how Otto’s reception and impact changed as well as expanded significantly over the course of the century and how he has gone from an author discussed solely by theologians to someone whose impact, even if often rather indirect, is present within all kinds of discussions, topics and disciplines.Rudolf Otto in the Estonian Intellectual History
