Foucault and Agamben on Augustine, Paradise and the Politics of Human Nature

2023

This article focuses on Foucault’s and Agamben’s readings of Augustine’s account of human nature and original sin. Foucault’s analysis of Augustine’s account of sexual acts in paradise, subordinated to will and devoid of lust, highlights the way it constitutes the model for the married couple, whose sexual acts are only acceptable if diverted by the will away from desire and towards the tasks of procreation. While Agamben rejects Augustine’s doctrine of original sin and reclaims paradise as the original homeland of humanity, his reappropriation of paradise remains conditioned by our turn towards our true nature, from which we have been estranged by sin. Agamben’s politics of reclaiming par…

Age-related muscle activation profiles and joint stiffness regulation in repetitive hopping

2011

It is well documented that increasing effort during exercise is characterized by an increase in electromyographic activity of the relevant muscles. How aging influences this relationship is a matter of great interest. In the present study, nine young and 24 elderly subjects did repetitive hopping with maximal effort as well as with 50%, 65%, 75% and 90% intensities. During hopping joint kinematics were measured together with electromyographic activity (EMG) from the soleus, gastrocnemius medialis, gastrocnemius lateralis and tibialis anterior muscles. The results showed that agonist activation increased in both age groups with increasing intensity. The highest jumping efficiency (EMG ratio …

Cortical Proprioceptive Processing Is Altered by Aging

2018

Proprioceptive perception is impaired with aging, but little is known about aging-related deterioration of proprioception at the cortical level. Corticokinematic coherence (CKC) between limb kinematic and magnetoencephalographic (MEG) signals reflects cortical processing of proprioceptive afference. We, thus, compared CKC strength to ankle movements between younger and older subjects, and examined whether CKC predicts postural stability. Fifteen younger (range 18-31 years) and eight older (66-73 years) sedentary volunteers were seated in MEG, while their right and left ankle joints were moved separately at 2 Hz (for 4 min each) using a novel MEG-compatible ankle-movement actuator. Coherence…

Moraalisten ja esteettisten arvostelmien suhde taiteessa : katsaus kohtuullisiin teorioihin

2015

Tämä tutkielma käsittelee moraalisten ja esteettisten arvostelmien suhdetta taiteessa keskittyen kolmeen kohtuulliseksi teoriaksi katsottuun näkemykseen: Noël Carrollin kohtuulliseen moralismiin, Berys Gautin etikismiin sekä Andersonin ja Deanin kohtuulliseen autonomismiin. Tarkoitukseni on selvittää, millä tavalla kukin näistä teoreetikoista näkee taiteen moraalin ja estetiikan suhteen. Tutkimuskysymyksessäni haluan ottaa selvää, onko taiteessa sekä moraalisia että esteettisiä arvostelmia ja vaikuttavatko nämä toisiinsa. Ennen siirtymistä varsinaisiin kohtuullisiin teorioihin pohjustan aihetta selvittämällä, kuinka taiteen moraaliin ja estetiikkaan on suhtauduttu historian kuluessa ja mite…

Protonation of Carbonate in Aqueous Tetraalkylammonium Salts at 25°C.

2006

Protonation constants of carbonate were determined in tetramethylammonium chloride (Me4NClaq 0.1≤I/mol kg−1 ≤4) and tetraethylammonium iodide (Et4NIaq 0.1≤I/mol kg−1 ≤1) by potentiometric ([H+]-glass electrode) measurements. Dependence of protonation constants on ionic strength was taken into account by modified specific ion interaction theory (SIT) and by Pitzer models. Literature data on the protonation of carbonate in NaClaq (0.1≤I/mol kg−1 ≤6) were also critically analysed. Both protonation constants of carbonate follow the trend Et4NI>Me4NCl > NaCl. An ion pair formation model designed to take into account the different protonation behaviours of carbonate in different supporting electr…

Evaluation of biosorbents for Cu removal from wastewater in the presence of EDTA

2007

BACKGROUND: This paper evaluates the use of several biosorbents for Cu removal from aqueous solutions in the absence and presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The objective was to determine the applicability of the sorption process after conventional physicochemical wastewater treatment, or as primary treatment, replacing the physicochemical process. RESULTS: Fixed-bed experiments were performed at Cu influent concentrations of 2 and 20 mg dm−3 and EDTA doses between 0 and 10 mg dm−3. At low Cu concentration without EDTA, Cu uptake capacity followed the order Posidonia oceanica > chitosan > chitin > Scharlau AC > Darco AC, with a maximum, at C/C0 = 0.2, of 23.2 mg g−1. In the …

Ajatuksia koulutusviennistä – mahdollisuudet ja riskit vaakakupissa

2015

Koulutusosaamisen viennistä tulee kehittää yksi Suomen tulevaisuuden tärkeimmistä vientituotteista. Näin kaavailtiin vuonna 2010 julkaistussa opetus- ja kulttuuriministeriön raportissa (OKM 2010). Suomessa ajatus koulutuksesta vientituotteena on suhteellisen tuore käsite ja kattaa laajan skaalan erilaisia koulutusosaamisen viennin muotoja. Monissa muissa maissa, etenkin Australiassa, Isossa-Britanniassa sekä Yhdysvalloissa, koulutuksella on tehty kauppaa yli rajojen jo vuosikymmeniä. Koulutuksen suurimmat vientimaat ovat luonnollisesti englanninkielisiä maita, joiden koulutusosaamisella on kysyntää yli rajojen, ja joissa tutkintomaksut ovat arkipäivää. Usein näissä maissa väestörakenteen mu…

Predicting hospital associated disability from imbalanced data using supervised learning.

2019

Hospitalization of elderly patients can lead to serious adverse effects on their functional capability. Identifying the underlying factors leading to such adverse effects is an active area of medical research. The purpose of the current paper is to show the potential of artificial intelligence in the form of machine learning to complement the existing medical research. This is accomplished by studying the outcome of hospitalization of elderly patients as a supervised learning task. A rich set of features characterizing the medical and social situation of elderly patients is leveraged and using confusion matrices, association rule mining, and two different classes of supervised learning algo…

Puhekielen fraasit Augustinuksen Soliloquia-teoksessa

1998

Augustinuksen Soliloquia-teos on dialogimuodossa oleva väittely, joka on hyvä lähde latinan puhekielen fraseologialle. Työn tarkoituksena on esitellä latinankielistä keskustelua helpottavia ilmauksia. Kirkkoisä Augustinus eli myöhäisantiikin aikana, mutta oli silti klassisen latinan edustaja, kuten tässä työssä esiteltävä Soliloquia teoskin osoittaa. Työn pääpaino on kuitenkin latinan puhekielessä. Tästä Augustinuksen ja hänen järkensä välisestä vuoropuhelusta on valikoitu sopivia fraaseja, jotka on suomennettu ja lajiteltu aihepiirinsä mukaan. Varsinaisen käsittelyosan lisäksi fraasit on lueteltu myös suomesta latinaan pain, samoin aihepiirinsä mukaan. Soliloquia-teos oli tarkoitettu kirja…
