Politics: (re)composition of the object
No full textPolítica: (re)composição do objeto. O autor pretende demonstrar que a "força" é um dado superestimado da política, por petição de princípio dos modelos teóricos que instrumentalizam a Sociologia, a Teoria Política, e a normação da espécie Direito (Normação latina e anglo-saxã), e em razão de tais disciplinas compartilharem do cadinho mitologico ácade, reproduzido por helenos e hebreus, e induzido na diluição religiosa dos respectivos fundamentos cognitivos. Sobre o objeto política (mando e força justificáveis), o autor superporá o método complexo físico-semiótico (1) da Semioselogia, includente da fenomenologia Física (Heisenberg, Bohr, Lao Tzy), da Signologia (Peirce), do Instrumento Operacional da Pragmática (Modesto), e (2) da Hominilogia (Modesto), para descrever comparativamente os padrões de civilidade na família hominidaæ (bonobos, humanos, chimpanzés), e quais deles dominam na ação política por mando (Normações) e por força dos humanos no mercado mundial, respectivamente, política bonobo e política chimpanzé.Politics: (re)composition of the object. The author intends to demonstrate that the "force" is a superestimated datum of the politics, for postulation of the beginning of the theoretical models that instrumentalize the Sociology, the Political Theory, and the normaction of the species Law (latin and anglo-saxon Normaction), and in reason of such disciplines in partaking as cognitive foundation the mythological acadian crucible, reproduced by greeks and hebrews, and induced in the religious dilution of the respective cognitive foundations. On the politics object (justifiable exact and force), the author will superpose the semiotics-physics complex method (1) of the Semioselogy, including of the Physics phenomenology (Heisenberg, Bohr, Lao Tzy), of the Signology (Peirce), of the Progmatic Operational Instrument (Modesto), and (2) of the Hominilogy (Modesto), to comparatively describe the civility patterns in the hominidae family (bonobos, humans, chimpanzees), and which dominate in the political action by exact (Normactions) and by force of the humans in the world market, respectively, bonobo politics and chimpanzee politics
Sophism of "Globalization" in Worldwide Market Entropic
No full textSofisma de "globalização" em mercado mundial entrópico. O autor pretende demonstrar que os modelos teóricos cujo objeto implica a política, na Sociologia, na Teoria Política, e na Jurisprudence e Direito (Nomogogia como gênero includente respectivamente, entre outras espécies, da lex in casu [Case Law] e da lex in genere [Lex]), excluem o conhecimento científico sensu stricto ao partilharem do mesmo repertório do conhecimento comum na crença mítica da "ordem" nos mercados extraterritorial e territorial, com seus sucedâneos ficcionais de bem/mal como "globalização". Sobre o objeto política, o autor superporá o método complexo físico-semiótico (1) da Semioselogia, includente da fenomenologia Física (Heisenberg, Bohr, Lao Tzy), da Signologia (Peirce), e do Instrumento Operacional da Progmática (Modesto), e (2) da Hominilogia (Modesto), para descrever o mercado econômico mundial, extraterritorial e territorial, na sua dominância acausal ou entrópica, em relação ao slogan da "globalização" veiculado pelo mercado político entre pluridominâncias concorrentes do mercado econômico. O autor também pretende descrever essa relação entre o mercado econômico e o mercado político e demonstrar a distância entre esse slogan do mercado econômico, travestido de "argumento" pela superposição do mercado político e subposição da academia, e as implicações quantificadas entre os mercados econômicos extraterritorial e territorial, expondo a teologia que fundamenta o êxtase da "globalização".Sophism of "globalization" in worldwide market entropic. The author intends to demonstrate that the theoretical models whose object implicates the politics, in the Sociology, in the Political Theory, and in the Law, exclude the sensu stricto scientific knowledge sharing the same repertoire of the common knowledge in the mythical belief of the "order" in the territorial and extraterritorial markets, with their fictional succedaneous of good / evil as "globalization". On the politics object, the author will superpose the semiotics-physics complex method (1) of Semioselogy, including of the Physics phenomenology (Heisenberg, Bohr, Lao Tzy), of Signology (Peirce), and of the Progmatic Operational Instrument (Modesto), and (2) of Hominilogy (Modesto), to describe the extraterritorial and territorial worldwide economic market, in its chance and entropic dominance, in relation to the slogan of the "globalization", transmitted by the political market among concurrent pluridominances of the economic market. The author also intends to describe that relationship between the economic market and the political market and to demonstrate the distance between that slogan of the economic market, travestied of “argument” by the superposition of the political market and subposition of the academy, and the quantified implications between the extraterritorial and territorial economic markets, exposing the theology that founds the ecstasy of the "globalization"
Grow Modesto Fund: increasing access to capital and training for Modesto’s low-income entrepreneurs
No full textIn today’s credit-driven and increasingly complex business environment, low income entrepreneurs struggle to obtain the financing they need to startup and grow. Too small to attract investors and business bankers, many don’t know where to turn. Traditional banking standards require at least two (profitable) years in business, strong credit history, and collateral to obtain a loan. Equity investors require quick returns in high growth industries. As a result, many of Modesto California’s microenterprises rely on high interest private loans, credit cards, and payday/title loans to start and grow their operations. Modesto’s non-profit alternative lenders have had difficulty being effective in this environment, as has project host Fresno Community Development Financial Institution (Fresno CDFI). This project aimed to establish a revolving loan fund for micro-entrepreneurs left out of mainstream financial markets through an innovative and collaborative approach that leveraged local partnerships to increase access to capital and technical assistance. After ten months of development, the Grow Modesto Fund was formally announced by Modesto’s Mayor Marsh on August 27, 2015. This paper explores the challenges and successes met by the team that developed the Fund and looks at preliminary indicators of how effective the Fund may be in growing jobs and businesses in Modesto.

Los problemas con la censura de una rivista satírica: «Fray Gerundio» de Modesto Lafuente (1837-1842)
No full textResumen: «Fray Gerundio» de Modesto Lafuente y Zamalloa es quizás uno de los semanarios satíricos políticos españoles más populares de la primera mitad del siglo XIX. Se publicó primero en León y posteriormente en Madrid casi ininterrumpidamente desde 1837 a 1842 cuando su autor decidió ponerle fin. Modesto Lafuente consiguió vivir bien gracias al éxito del semanario que incluso tuvo una segunda edición a solo un año de que se publicara el primer número. En este trabajo tratamos de los rasgos más característicos de esta publicación y de los factores que la popularizaron así como de los problemas que tuvo con la censura, en un periodo en el que se suponía que la libertad de prensa estaba por fin garantizada.Abstract: «Fray Gerundio» by Modesto Lafuente is probably one of the most popular Spanish satirical and political newspapers of the first half of the 19th century. It was first published in León and almost immediately moved to Madrid where it was published uninterruptedly from 1837 to 1842 when his author decided to put an end to it. Modesto Lafuente managed to earn a good living thanks to the success of the publication, that even had a second edition of the first numbers published, a year after the first number appeared. In this paper, I study the main traits of this publication and the reasons that made it so popular, as well as the problems that Lafuente had with the censorship, in a period in Spanish history where liberty of the press was supposedly being granted
Political Regularities Causal-Exact [—] Casual-Exact [-- --]
No full textA Teoria do Estado, enquanto postulação vinculada à Cultura Ocidental, tem a pretensão da universalidade estampada nas justificativas lineares de mando e força na política, para tanto fundamentando-se no conceito de ordem, Ersatz de causa. As relações políticas mando/acato e força/lesão das Coletividades-Estado que escapam desta pretensão, se ocorrentes fora do eixo ocidental, são teoricamente enquadradas no "despotismo oriental" por Aristóteles, Montesquieu, Hegel e Weber. Com esses autores e a complacente designação "despotismo oriental", a Teoria do Estado indicia desconhecer o fundamento oriental do acaso no agir político. Empregando a Semioselogia - Metaciência por criação sintática do autor -, incluindo Fenomenologia e Signologia de Peirce, e Progmática - PROGrama inforMÁTICO - criada pelo autor (Modelo Operacional) - Modesto, 1994 -, demonstramos as freqüências mando-causal [ yang ] e mando-casual [ yin ] como dois paradigmas justificativos das superposições políticas das Coletividades-Estado do Ocidente e do Oriente.The State Theory, while Occidental Culture entailed postulation, has the pretext of universality imprinted in the linear justificatives of political exact and force, for so much being based in the order concept, Ersatz of cause. The State-Collectivities political relations of exact/accept and force/lesion that escape from this pretext, if occurred out of occidental axis, are theoretically framed "oriental despotism" by Aristotle, Montesquieu, Hegel and Weber. With these authors and with the "oriental despotism" complacent designation, the State Theory indicates ignore the casual oriental foundation in the political act. Applying the Semioselogy – Metascience by the author created syntax - including Phenomenology and Signology by Peirce, and Progmatic - InforMATIC PROGram - by the author created (Operable Model) - Modesto 1994 -, we demonstrate causal-exact [ yang ] and casual-exact [ yin ] frequencies as two political superpositions of Occidental and Oriental State-Collectivities justificative paradigms
Non-perturbative spectrum of non-local gravity
No full textWe investigate the non-perturbative degrees of freedom of a class of weakly non-local gravitational theories that have been proposed as an ultraviolet completion of general relativity. At the perturbative level, it is known that the degrees of freedom of non-local gravity are the same of the Einstein-Hilbert theory around any maximally symmetric spacetime. We prove that, at the non-perturbative level, the degrees of freedom are actually eight in four dimensions, contrary to what one might guess on the basis of the "infinite number of derivatives" present in the action. It is shown that six of these degrees of freedom do not propagate on Minkowski spacetime, but they might play a role at large scales on curved backgrounds. We also propose a criterion to select the form factor almost uniquely. (C) 2019 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V
Hybrid performances in the utopian thinking of Modesto Brocos y Gomez (1852-1936)
No full textThis paper aims to discuss the hybrid performances in the thinking of Modesto Brocos y Gomez. It Uses as source the book Journey to Mars (1930), a fictional work that transits between the utopian genre and the anecdotal mode. For that it discusses the connection of the author to utopian literary genre and its relation to satire, linking them to the discussions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries on the whitening of the Brazilian people, taking also into account his paintings on this subject.UFG UnespDepartamentos de História e Letras da UEG - Unid Jussara/GO Unicamp UFGUFG Unes
Escaping Modesto: George Lucas, Film Auteur, and the Alteration of Movie History
No full textThis video essay analyzes the early filmography of George Lucas as a critique of auteur theory. Dissecting THX 1138 (1971), American Graffiti (1973), and Star Wars (1977) based on their autobiographic qualities, this short documentary investigates the advantages and disadvantages of reviewing a complicated cinematic work through the lens of an individual author. Analysis will focus on Lucasfilm founder George Lucas and his reputation for controversially altering his works through special edition re-releases, calling into question the sanctity of theatrical releases and the confines of a film auteur. Does a filmmaker, particularly one whose films are drawn from personal experience, have the right to restrict access to their original works by substituting theatrical releases with director endorsed re-edits? “Escaping Modesto” attempts to answer this.
