Although C.G. Jung's interest in normality wavered throughout his career, it was one of the areas he identified in later life as worthy of further research. He began his career using a definition of ...normality which would have been the target of Foucault's criticism, had Foucault chosen to review Jung's work. However, Jung then evolved his thinking to a standpoint that was more aligned to Foucault's own. Thereafter, the post Jungian concept of normality has remained relatively undeveloped by comparison with psychoanalysis and mainstream psychology. Jung's disjecta membra on the subject suggest that, in contemporary analytical psychology, too much focus is placed on the process of individuation to the neglect of applications that consider collective processes. Also, there is potential for useful research and development into the nature of conflict between individuals and societies, and how normal people typically develop in relation to the spectrum between individuation and collectivity.

Wearable physical activity (PA) monitors have improved the ability to estimate free‐living total energy expenditure (TEE) but their application during arduous military training alongside more ...well‐established research methods has not been widely documented. This study aimed to assess the validity of two wrist‐worn activity monitors and a PA log against doubly labeled water (DLW) during British Army Officer Cadet (OC) training. For 10 days of training, twenty (10 male and 10 female) OCs (mean ± SD: age 23 ± 2 years, height 1.74 ± 0.09 m, body mass 77.0 ± 9.3 kg) wore one research‐grade accelerometer (GENEActiv, Cambridge, UK) on the dominant wrist, wore one commercially available monitor (Fitbit SURGE, USA) on the non‐dominant wrist, and completed a self‐report PA log. Immediately prior to this 10‐day period, participants consumed a bolus of DLW and provided daily urine samples, which were analyzed by mass spectrometry to determine TEE. Bivariate correlations and limits of agreement (LoA) were employed to compare TEE from each estimation method to DLW. Average daily TEE from DLW was 4112 ± 652 kcal·day−1 against which the GENEActiv showed near identical average TEE (mean bias ± LoA: −15 ± 851 kcal.day−1) while Fitbit tended to underestimate (−656 ± 683 kcal·day−1) and the PA log substantially overestimate (+1946 ± 1637 kcal·day−1). Wearable physical activity monitors provide a cheaper and more practical method for estimating free‐living TEE than DLW in military settings. The GENEActiv accelerometer demonstrated good validity for assessing daily TEE and would appear suitable for use in large‐scale, longitudinal military studies.
To develop evidence-based role-specific physical employment standards and tests for National Ambulance Resilience Unit (NARU) specialist paramedics.
Sixty-two (53 men, 9 women) paramedics performed ...an array of (1) realistic reconstructions of critical job-tasks (criterion job performance); (2) simplified, easily-replicable simulations of those reconstructions and; (3) fitness tests that are portable and/or practicable to administer with limited resources or specialist equipment. Pearson's correlations and ordinary least products regression were used to assess relationships between tasks and tests. Performance on reconstructions, subject-matter expert and participant ratings were combined to derive minimum acceptable job performance levels, which were used to determine cut-scores on appropriate correlated simulations and tests.
The majority of performance times were highly correlated with their respective simulations (range of r: 0.73–0.90), with the exception of those replicating water rescue (r range: 0.28–0.47). Regression compatibility intervals provided three cut-scores for each job-task on an appropriate simulation and fitness test.
This study provides a varied and easily-implementable physical capability assessment for NARU personnel, empirically linked to job performance, with flexible options depending on organisational requirements.
•Specialist paramedics require evidence-based physical standards and tests for role.•We designed complex realistic scenarios to measure criterion job performance.•Field-expedient gym tests and job simulations predicted criterion performance.•We combined objective and subjective data to define acceptable performance.•Regression uncertainty intervals provided flexible employment standards.
This paper is a response to Andrew Samuels’s ‘The transcendent function in politics: NO!’ (2010). In that paper he makes a number of criticisms to support his argument that the transcendent function ...is not appropriate for political and social development. Whilst a number of his criticisms are valid, they are misdirected because they are against one‐sidedness or identification with a single position, which are not features of the transcendent function but problems that it overcomes. To make the counter argument, this paper draws on oft‐overlooked aspects of Jung’s book Psychological Types, empirical research, contemporary leadership theory, and practical examples to show that the transcendent function’s omission from political debate can maintain and exacerbate social inequity and the political divisions that might otherwise be bridged. The transcendent function is highly relevant to politics and can help achieve deeper and longer‐lasting change than a one‐sided approach. It is one of the core aspects of analytical psychology that has the potential to make innovative and transformational contributions to political discourse.
Cet article est une réponse à celui d’Andrew Samuels ‘La fonction transcendante en politique: NON!’ (2010). Dans cet article il fait un certain nombre de critiques pour soutenir son argumentation qui est que la fonction transcendante n’est pas appropriée en ce qui concerne le développement politique et social. Même si certaines de ses critiques sont recevables, elles sont mal orientées parce qu’elles sont contre le caractère unilatéral ou l’identification avec une position unique, qui ne sont pas des qualités propres à la fonction transcendante mais les problèmes qu’elle surmonte. Pour nourrir la contre‐argumentation, cet article s’appuie sur des aspects souvent négligés du livre Les Types Psychologiques de Jung, des recherches empiriques, la théorie contemporaine du leadership, et des exemples pratiques pour montrer qu’omettre la fonction transcendante du débat politique peut maintenir et exacerber l’inégalité sociale et les divisions politiques qui seraient sinon rapprochées. La fonction transcendante est hautement pertinente en politique et peut aider à accomplir des changements plus profonds et plus durables que ne le ferait une approche unilatérale. C’est un des aspects principaux de la psychologie analytique qui ont le potentiel d’apporter une contribution innovante et transformationnelle au discours politique.
Dieser Artikel ist eine Antwort auf Andrew Samuels 'The transcendent function in Politics: NO!' (2010). In diesem Beitrag bringt er eine Reihe von Kritikpunkten vor, um sein Argument zu untermauern, daß die transzendente Funktion der politischen und sozialen Entwicklung nicht angemessen ist. Während eine Reihe seiner Kritiken berechtigt ist, weisen sie in eine falsche Richtung, weil sie gegen Einseitigkeit oder Identifikation mit einer einzigen Position gerichtet sind, was keine Merkmale der transzendenten Funktion sind, sondern Probleme, die sie überwindet. Als Gegenargument stützt sich dieser Beitrag auf oft übersehene Aspekte von Jungs Buch Psychologische Typen, empirische Forschung, zeitgenössische Führungstheorie und praktische Beispiele um zu zeigen, daß die Auslassung der transzendenten Funktion aus der politischen Debatte soziale Ungleichheit und politische Spaltungen aufrechterhalten und verschärfen kann, die andernfalls überbrückt werden könnten. Die transzendente Funktion ist für die Politik von hoher Relevanz und kann dazu beitragen, tiefere und länger anhaltende Veränderungen zu erreichen als eine einseitige Herangehensweise. Es ist einer der Kernaspekte der Analytischen Psychologie, der das Potential hat, innovative und transformative Beiträge zum politischen Diskurs zu leisten.
Questo articolo è una risposta a “La funzione trascendente in politica: NO!” di Andrew Samuels (2010). In quell’articolo l'Autore fa una serie di critiche in sostegno della sua argomentazione secondo cui la funzione trascendente non è appropriata per lo sviluppo politico e sociale. Sebbene alcune delle sue critiche siano valide, sono male indirizzate poiché sono contrarie all’unilateralità o all’identificazione con una singola posizione, che non sono caratteristiche della funzione trascendente ma problemi che essa supera. Per sostenere una controargomentazione, questo articolo si basa su aspetti spesso trascurati del libro di Jung Tipi Psicologici, ricerca empirica, teoria della leadership contemporanea, ed esempi pratici per dimostrare che l’omissione della funzione trascendente dal dibattito politico può mantenere ed esacerbare la disuguaglianza sociale e le divisioni politiche che altrimenti potrebbero essere colmate. La funzione trascendente è molto rilevante per la politica e può aiutare ad ottenere un cambiamento più profondo e duraturo rispetto ad un approccio unilaterale. È uno degli aspetti chiave della psicologia analitica che ha il potenziale per apportare contributi innovativi e trasformativi al dibattito politico.
Данная статья является откликом на статью Эндрю Сэмюэлса «Трансцендентная функция в политике: НЕТ!» (2010). В этой статье он высказывает ряд критических замечаний в поддержку своего мнения о том, что трансцендентная функция неприменима в политических и социальных вопросах. Хотя некоторые из его замечаний обоснованны, ориентированность их ошибочна, так как они направлены против односторонности или идентификации с одной из позиций, что является не свойствами трансцендентной функции, а проблемами, которые она преодолевает. В целях контраргументации данная статья опирается на часто упускаемые из виду аспекты книги Юнга «Психологические типы», эмпирические исследования, современную теорию лидерства и практические примеры, таким образом показывая, что игнорирование трансцендентной функции в политических дебатах может поддерживать и усугублять социальное неравенство и политические разногласия, которые в противном случае можно было бы преодолеть. Трансцендентная функция очень важна в политике; она может способствовать достижению более глубоких и долгосрочных изменений, чем при одностороннем подходе. Она представляет собой один из основных аспектов аналитической психологии, который способен внести инновационный и трансформирующий вклад в политический дискурс.

政治中的超越功能:是的!
本文是对Andrew Samuels在2010年所写的论文“政治中的超越功能:不!“的回应。在那篇论文中, 他提出了一些批评以支持他的论点, 即超越性功能不适合政治和社会发展。虽然他的一些批评是有道理的, 但这些批评的方向是错误的, 因为这些批评反对片面性或对单一立场的认同, 而这不是超越功能的特点, 而是它所克服的问题。为了进行反驳, 本文借鉴了荣格《心理类型》一书中经常被忽视的方面、实证研究、当代领导力理论和实际案例, 以表明超越功能在政治辩论中的遗漏会维持并加剧社会不平等和本来可以弥合的政治分歧。超越性功能与政治高度相关, 与片面的方法相比, 它可以帮助实现更深入、更持久的变革。它是分析心理学的核心内容之一, 有可能对政治话语做出创新和变革的贡献。
•A novel dual source vapor injection heat pump is designed and analyzed.•It is first attempt to recover ventilation heat by a vapor injection compressor.•A waste heat recovery rate of more than 100% ...is achievable.•It has a COP of 23.2% higher than a conventional air source heat pump.•The largest exergy destruction takes place in the compressor.
A novel dual source vapor injection heat pump (DSVIHP) using exhaust and ambient air is proposed. The air exhausted from the building first releases energy to the medium-pressure evaporator and is then mixed with the ambient air to heat the low-pressure evaporator. A vapor injection (VI) compressor of two inlets is connected with the low and medium pressure evaporators. It's first time that a VI compressor is employed to recover the ventilation heat. The system can minimize the ventilation heat loss and provide a unique defrosting approach by using the exhaust waste heat. Fundamentals of the proposed DSVIHP are illustrated. Mathematical models are built. Both energetic and exergetic analyses are carried out under variable conditions. The results indicate that the DSVIHP has superior thermodynamic performance. The superiority is more appreciable at a lower ambient temperature. It has a higher COP than the conventional vapor injection heat pump and air source heat pump by 11.3% and 23.2% respectively at an ambient temperature of -10 °C and condensation temperature of 45 °C. The waste heat recovery ratio from the exhaust air is more than 100%. The novel DSVIHP has great potential in the cold climate area application.
Nuclear forensic publications, performance tests, and research and development efforts typically target the bulk global inventory of intentionally safeguarded materials, such as plutonium (Pu) and ...uranium (U). Other materials, such as neptunium (Np), pose a nuclear security risk as well. Trafficking leading to recovery of an interdicted Np sample is a realistic concern especially for materials originating in countries that reprocesses fuel. Using complementary forensic methods, potential signatures for an unknown Np oxide sample were investigated. Measurement results were assessed against published Np processes to present hypotheses as to the original intended use, method of production, and origin for this Np oxide.
Display omitted
•Full forensic characterization of a neptunium oxide sample.•Successful assay of neptunium oxide using controlled potential coulometry despite lack of available standards.•Chronometry of sample completed showing young model age.•Interesting Pu isotopic composition narrows potential site of origin.

Abstract
Jung saw a role for the methods of natural science in analytical psychology alongside other ways of developing of knowledge. This paper puts a cryptic and undeveloped idea in Psychological ...Types to the test using the principles of Karl Popper's philosophy of science. The idea is a combination of Jung's philosophy, esse in anima, and his theory of opposites applied to politics. It is explained using a term coined by the philosopher W.V.O Quine-ontological relativity. There are key similarities between the two philosophical concepts, due to Jung and Quine having a common influence in William James' radical empiricism. The ontological relativity of political opposites is subjected to three tests that attempt to falsify it. All three attempts at falsification fail, which therefore provides some support for the idea. However, there are a number of anomalous results that raise significant questions requiring further research. This paper should therefore be viewed as the first step in a programme of research to examine the ontological relativity of political opposites that is inherent within esse in anima.

Today's particle accelerators and detectors are among the most complicated and expensive scientific instruments ever built, and they exploit almost every aspect of today's cutting-edge engineering ...technologies. In many cases, accelerator needs have been the driving force behind these new technologies, necessity being the mother of invention. This paper gives an overview of some engineering requirements for the construction and operation of present-day accelerators and detectors.
