Etkili bir medya aracı olan filmler hem bilgileri hem de duyguları transfer edebilme özelliği taşımaktadır. Bu sebeple dinsel ögelerin filmlerde kullanılma şekillerinin Dinler Tarihi tarafından ...incelenmesinin pek çok açıdan faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu bağlamda Pi (π) Filminde yer alan Yahudilikle ilgili unsurların incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Her dini ritüel kutsala yakınlaşmak için yapılır. Bilimin ve dinin birlikte kurgulandığı Pi filminde de böylesi bir çaba anlatılmaktadır. Maximillian, bir bilgisayar kullanarak ve matematik hesaplamalar yaparak evrenin gizemini bulmaya çalışmaktadır. Sonuçta Hasidik Yahudilerin yardımıyla kendi Tanrı’sının kişisel adını bulur. Bunu, kelimeleri rakamlarla ifade eden Gematria tekniğini kullanarak yapar. Maximillian, kohen soyundan geldiği için seçkindir. Ancak bir kabalist olmadığı için yetkin değildir ve bulduğu ismi nasıl kullanacağını bilememektedir. Dolayısıyla bu bilgi Maximillian’ı tüketir. Bilgiye kimsenin ulaşamaması için Maximillian bilgilerin kayıtlı olduğu her şeyi imha eder sonra da kendi bedenini yok etmek ister. Sonuç olarak bu filmde seçkin ve yetkin olmadan Tanrı’nın ismiyle uğraşmanın tehlikeli olduğu anlatılmaktadır.
The objective of the paper is to present an empirical Bayesian method combined with Akaike's Bayesian Information Criterion (ABIC) to estimate the contaminant release history of a source in ...groundwater starting from few concentration measurements in space and/or in time. From the Bayesian point of view, the ABIC considers prior information on the unknown function, such as the prior distribution (assumed Gaussian) and the covariance function. The unknown statistical quantities, such as the noise variance and the covariance function parameters, are computed through the process; moreover the method quantifies also the estimation error through the confidence intervals. The methodology was successfully tested on three test cases: the classic Skaggs and Kabala release function, three sharp releases (both cases regard the transport in a one-dimensional homogenous medium) and data collected from laboratory equipment that consists of a two-dimensional homogeneous unconfined aquifer. The performances of the method were tested with two different covariance functions (Gaussian and exponential) and also with large measurement error. The obtained results were discussed and compared to the geostatistical approach of Kitanidis (1995).
•A new approach to estimate the contaminant release history is presented.•The procedure is very robust and efficient.•The method has been tested on complex cases.
The universe we know is a product of the human mind. In the primordial phenomenological experience, which man has of himself, two phenomenological facts are imposed: the experience of a stable world ...of objects and the experience of a world of fields of reality. The exercise of reason, which is given to man evolutionarily, leads to ask what are the real causes that produce these two worlds. Likewise, what is the ultimate truth of the universe. Modern science produces a rational (scientific) knowledge that provides the basis to answer those questions. Classical mechanics explains what is and how a macroscopic world of stable objects is produced. Quantum mechanics, what they are and how the fields of reality are produced, to which man accesses from his human psyche. All this leads us to understand that the universe has a holistic ontology (a way of being). Man, already by his primordial self-experience, but also by the results of science, remains open to the knowledge of cosmic holism. The holistic nature of the universe is the key to addressing the questions surrounding its ultimate truth. Holism continues to make possible the atheistic hypothesis of a universe without God. But it is also true that, beyond nineteenth-century reductionism, holism makes the hypothesis of the existence of God much more plausible today. As a suggestion, the article concludes with a reference to the image of God, and the creation of the universe in God, according to the allegorical discourse of Jewish kabbalah.

This book explores three schools of fascinating, talented, and gifted scholars who absorbed into their thought the Jewish and secular cultures of their respective homelands.
Context and background Following the ever-increasing plethora of student numbers in the four Universities of Bamako (USJPB, USSGB, ULSHB, USTB), student violence perpetrated for this purpose at the ...level of all the Faculties of these structures on the one hand. And on the other hand the glaring insufficiency of educational, academic and scientific infrastructures (lecture theaters, classrooms, libraries, research laboratories, dormitories etc.) to accommodate new students each year, the Government of the Republic of Mali in partnership with the Chinese Government initiated and launched the construction and development work of the Kabala University Campus located at the western end of the city of Bamako. In doing so, these very large-scale spatial works have generated numerous land problems. We assume as a hypothesis: the construction of the Kabala university campus following evictions and demolitions led to land disputes over obtaining property titles, but also to the economic development of the villages. Goal and Objectives: Identify the various land problems generated following the construction of the Kabala University Campus. Methodology: To carry out this study we used quantitative and qualitative surveys, photography, cartography, Google Earth and observation. Results: The following results were obtained: The villages of Kabala and N'golobougou were subject to social and spatial change through the development of trade, the creation of informal jobs, and the construction of new permanent houses. Land problems such as the non-issuance of official property titles, the transformation of many agricultural fields into residential houses. All the victims of the demolitions and evictions have not been reimbursed.
Povijest anagramiranja proteže se od antike do danas. Ona povezuje vrlo različita područja, iskustva i diskurze – od magijskih obreda, religijskih tekstova, kriptografije i prirodnih znanosti do ...pjesništva, jezične i književne teorije, društvenih igara i enigmatike. Anagram potkopava stabilnost diskurza te potiče na nova propitivanja prirode komunikacije. Kada govore o podrijetlu anagrama, proučavatelji odreda spominju grčkog pjesnika Likofrona iz Halkide i kabalu. Brojne su podvrste i pojavni likovi anagrama. Ipak, najučestaliji su i najpopularniji anagram osobnog imena i anagram kakva uvriježena izraza ili rečenice.
Anagramiranje imena može imati kriptičnu funkciju, a može se realizirati i kao pohvala ili pokuda. Anagramiranje uvriježena izraza pruža različite mogućnosti stilskog i značenjskog repliciranja. Noviju povijest anagrama i njegov recentni status u retorici, semiotici, jezičnoj i književnoj teoriji nedvojbeno je obilježio Ferdinand de Saussure. Ženevski je mislilac tri godine (1906–1909) opsesivno čitao saturnijsku, homersku i vedsku poeziju vjerujući da se u njoj na razini teksta zakonito ponavljaju anagramirana imena glavnih junaka, božanstava, autora i sl. Saussure je pretpostavljao da u tim tekstovima postoji dodatni znakovni sustav, neovisan o autorovoj volji, koji poetski diskurz pretvara u mjesto zagonetnog širenja vlastitog imena po slogovima i stihovima pjesme. Saussureovo je istraživanje anagrama potaknulo rasprave o prirodi znaka, linearnosti označitelja i logocentrizmu; k tome, interpretirano je kao pandan Bahtinovu govoru o dijalogičnosti te kao važna karika koncepta intertekstualnosti i suvremenih teorija čitanja. Ovaj vrlo kratak uvod u anagram nudi osnovne informacije o povijesti i praksi anagramiranja, izdvaja karakteristične primjere te upozorava na mjesto tog postupka u recentnim diskurzima.
