New, old and evergreen frontiers in freshwater phytoplankton ecology: the legacy of Colin S. Reynolds
2020
This paper offers a brief overview of the contributions provided by widely recognised phytoplankton ecologists to honour the memory of an undisputed leader in the field of aquatic sciences: Colin S. Reynolds. Colin passed away quite unexpectedly in December 2018 causing a wave of sorrow that rapidly circulated among friends and colleagues all over the world. The 14 review papers collected in this Special Issue form a tribute to Colin’s scientific thinking, which survives the man and represents a legacy to all the scientists in the field, especially to young generations. Although authors and editors carefully selected 14 different topics, a certain degree of overlap exists among the collecte…
Constitución y verdad. La controversia entre Rafael de Vélez y Joaquín Lorenzo Villanueva a propósito de la <em>Apología del Trono</em>
2017
El trabajo aborda el lugar del discurso antiliberal reaccionario en los primeros años de la Revolución en España. Se centra para ello en la controversia que mantuvieron el diputado liberal Joaquín Lorenzo Villanueva y el publicista y fraile capuchino Rafael de Vélez entre 1820 y 1825. Las fuentes utilizadas remiten directamente a los escritos de ambos polemistas tomando como punto de partida la «Apología del Trono» del Padre Vélez. Metodológicamente, la perspectiva de análisis adoptada parte de la consideración teórica de que la crítica al liberalismo, en sus diversas manifestaciones, fue parte inherente al proceso revolucionario y no un elemento marginal del mismo. El examen confrontado de…
Neutralidad y honorabilidad del árbitro: : De la ética a la diligencia
2021
One of the main principles of arbitration is that the arbitral tribunal must be independent, impartial, neutral and diligent in carrying out its duties throughout the arbitration proceedings. However, the sophistication and complexity of arbitration as an extra-judicial dispute resolution procedure can undermine confidence in the efficiency of the system. In this regard, the professional (arbitral) ethics and the honourability of the arbitrator are of major importance. This article aims to highlight the importance of the neutrality of the arbitrator, the integrity of the arbitration and the reputation of this procedure
The family, honour and gender in Sicily: models and new research
2004
This article shows how the latest research into Sicily's social and economic history calls into question certain well-established interpretations of the history of the family and its structures, the paradigm of Mediterranean honour, and the theory of familism. This new appraisal also highlights the major significance of the history of women and gender identity.
Honour, Masculinity and Corporality in the Officer Corps of Early Eighteenth-Century Sweden
2010
Military honour and physical commitment to serve king and fatherland played a central role in the ideals of the army of Charles XII of Sweden. These ideals were formed within a culture in which the role of the warrior, dictated by a code of honour, was constantly challenged. My main empirical primary sources consist of the archivale records of the Swedish Diet, which included Placement Committee records from the Diet of 1723. An honourable man had the right to a livelihood and a respectable position in society. My aim is to show that, in order to obtain such a position, a military man had to present himself as someone who had offered his body in the service of his king and country. An appea…
O obrzędowym charakterze cyklu "Dziadów" Adama Mickiewicza raz jeszcze
2013
The publication presented in the review is an interesting and much-needed research proposal, which combines the discourse of a philologist, an ethnographer, and a cultural anthropologist. This approach is innovative in the literary studies research on this Polish master dramatist; it constitutes a valuable source not only for literary commentators of Mickiewicz’s series but also for Belorussian folklore scholars, or for those investigating the merging of Polish and Belorussian culture. It makes us realize that, among others, by means of his drama, the poet introduced the Belorussian rite of dziady – a pagan festival in honour of ancestral spirits – into Polish culture. The rite is, for the …

Zum Verhältnis von Religion und Zoologie im 17. Jahrhundert (William Harvey, Nathaniel Highmore, Jan Swammerdam)
1987
Jan Swammerdam was one of the first scientists to do biological research on the basis of physico-theology. He was a very religious man and thought that by studying the secrets of nature he could best serve the Almighty God. He saw his life's work in demostrating the importance of God in the world of the smallest animals. The most important works of Swammerdam refer to the world of the insects and other lower animals, which he called the „legions of the God of Israel”, through which God tells mankind to recognize their sins, to desist from them and to honour him with greater humility. „The miracles of nature” he said „are an open bible, which everywhere points to God as its eternal origin.” …
