The phase ratio is defined as a ratio of reflectivity of object at two different phase angles α. This light-scattering characteristic has revealed high sensitivity to physical parameters of a ...planetary regolith. We investigate the phase ratio of single-scattering irregularly shaped particles with different morphology by means of the discrete dipole approximation. The phase ratio defined at α = 0° and 30° appears to be highly sensitive to the imaginary part of refractive index and less sensitive to the size distribution of target particles; whereas, it is not sensitive to their real part of refractive index and irregular morphology when it attains a high level of disorder. Further, the phase ratio defined at α = 30° and 60° is almost fully insensitive to microphysics of target particles. This feature might help to enhance the scientific return from the future DESTINY+ mission to asteroid (3200) Phaethon.
•We study the phase ratio in single-scattering particles with irregular morphology.•The phase ratio at phase angles α = 0° – 30° is sensitive to microphysics of dust.•The phase ratio at phase angles α = 30° – 60° is insensitive to microphysics of dust.•Our results should enhance the scientific return from the DESTINY+ study of Phaethon.
The social nature of human beings and individualistic characterizing destiny of individuals is contradictory and call for philosophical interrogation. Segun Ogungbemi has unrepentantly argued that ...destiny is individualistic and neither connective nor collective. This paper critiques Segun Ogungbemi’s conception of destiny, instead, argues for connectiveness and collectiveness of destiny. It argues that destiny, as an individualistic phenomenon, challenges and raises the Yorùbá notion of corporate communal existence. The paper concludes that individuating destiny is not only a non-plausible conception; it is also not tenable in any possible social world.
Is something calling us? Maybe the heart knows something we love, but the head is not aware of or does not believe in it. In cultures driven by patriarchal modes more remains unconscious than needs ...to because we lack the means to contact deeper dimensions which could be inherently alive. The narrowing of epistemology is a loss of self. Considering whether the heart has qualities of self, dream, and desire may provide a framework to recognise it in an embodied education and to liberate ways of knowing that can deepen subjectivities and enable potentials that were interrupted to begin ripening again. It may also encourage us to consider our relational agreements and to create educational spaces that refine attention to the hosting of futures. Setting up mirrors to make the heart more cognisable may revive individualities and what is meant to be in the world.

Kant no se limita a denunciar la guerra como uno de los peores males que padece la humanidad. Intenta además encontrarle un sentido desde una perspectiva de filosofía de la historia. Supone que forma ...parte de los misteriosos designios de la Providencia. Éste es uno de los aspectos más problemáticos e inquietantes de su pensamiento, habitualmente ignorado por los que presentan de forma simplista al luchador incansable por la paz.
Résumé : Par le biais d'une analyse du film << Love man love woman >> réalisé par Nguyen Trinh Thi en 2007, notre article examinera comment la performance médiatique permet de démystifier la fiction ...du << destin sacré >> des médiums masculins transgenres dans le milieu du culte des Déesses Mères au Vietnam. Cette analyse s'inscrit dans la perspective performative du genre et l'approche sémiopragmatique du récit médiatique, en se situant dans un contexte plus large de la culture hégémonique et de la médiatisation du discours hétérosexuel normatif. Mots-clés : Vietnam, culte des déesses-mères, film ethnographique, performance du genre, pragmatisme du récit médiatique Through an analysis of the movie "Love man love woman" directed by Nguyen Trinh Thi en 2007, our paper will examine how the media performance allows to demystify the "sacred destiny" fiction of the transgender male mediums within worship of Mother-Goddesses in Vietnam. This analysis is part of the gender performance perspective as well as the semio-pragmatic approach of the media narrative. It is placed in a broader context of hegemonic culture and the mediatization of normative heterosexual discourse. Keywords: Vietnam, worship of Mother-Goddesses, ethnographic film, gender performance, pragmatism of media story
The future is open: This is a basic assumption of modernity. It originated in the 18th century and still shapes our self-image today. This study uncovers another tradition: the effort to close the ...future again, to ‘fill it up’ with orders, models and political expectations. The theoretical and literary procedures of this closure from the period around 1800 recur in later phases of modernity as well.
La actitud de las futuras víctimas ante su destino sacrificial ha sido interpretada de muy distintas maneras: el cumplimiento de una función cósmica para alimentar al Sol y a la Tierra, la aceptación ...en virtud de un fatalismo sostenido por la creencia en un destino ineluctable o el sometimiento a un sistema político que aterrorizaba a las poblaciones. Aunque son escasas las fuentes que describen el estado de ánimo de las víctimas, algunas representaciones en códices y, sobre todo, valiosos testimonios recopilados en español y en náhuatl en el siglo xvi dan cuenta de actitudes muy diversas por parte de los futuros sacrificados. Al considerar la edad, el género y el origen social de las víctimas, sus funciones según los contextos rituales--en ocasiones personifican a deidades--, así como las distintas valoraciones del acto sacrificial--desde la exaltación heroica hasta la asignación un destino nefasto--, es posible esbozar un panorama más completo y matizado de las actitudes de los mesoamericanos ante la práctica ritual del sacrificio.
Abstract : Abel James and Benjamin Vaughan's letters were included in Benjamin Franklin's autobiography, in which he refers to himself as "The American," to support his claim that he was "The ...American" and to demonstrate the significance of the book's larger goal of inspiring Americans. The Great Gatsby, "Self-Reliance," The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin are revered works of American literature because each one of them both exemplifies the promise and fervor of the American experience and serves as a sobering reminder that the American dream has occasionally proven to be out of reach because of racial or social class barriers in a supposedly egalitarian society.
