PRUDENTE GOBIERNO: LA PRUDENCIA EN EL GOBERNANTE
2019
Partiendo de las fuentes filosoficas y literarias, la Prudencia es considerada la principal virtud que debe poseer todo gobernante. Esta relacion propicio la interaccion visual entre la figura del gobernante y la imagen de la Prudencia. De este modo, en ocasiones, la Prudencia, adquiere atributos propios del gobernante, asi como este adquiere los de la Prudencia, retratandose incluso como esta virtud.
Self Calibrating Nano-Ruler
2012
The aim of a nanoruler is to measure distances on a length scale in the order of nanometers. This concept can be realized by two plasmonic nanoparticles (usually spheres), which are placed within a short distance to each other. Since the plasmon modes of both particles are coupled, they influence each other along the interparticle axis (i.e. longitudinal plasmon mode, resulting in a shift of the resonance wavelength compared to the single particle. Because the resulting resonance wavelength depends on the interparticle distance, the spectral investigation of such a dimer allows the determination of the interparticle distance.
Oddawanie czci władcy w Rzymie w okresie cesarstwa na przykładzie manus velatae i silentiarii
2019
During the Roman Empire period, the ruler was venerated in many ways. Prostration, proskynesis, referring to the emperor as dominus; adora-tio purpurae; manus velatae; observing the ritual silence; and other rituals were supposed to strengthen the emperor’s authority. During the period of Dominate, the Roman freedom was replaced by etiquette at the imperial court. This article discusses only two examples of veneration of the ruler in the Roman Empire period, namely manus velatae and silentiarii. The manus velatae ritual consisted of giving hands covered with a cloth to the ruler and receiving objects from him in such hands. The gesture had already been encountered in many ancient cultures, …

The Geometry of a Domed Architecture: A Stately Example of Kārbandi at Bagh-e Dolat Abad in Yazd
2016
This paper analyses the kārbandi of the Hashti pavilion at Bagh-e-Dolat Abad in Yazd. Kārbandi is a spatial system obtained through the projection of a star-shaped drawing onto a curved surface. It is characterised by a complex use of geometry and repetitive symmetry. The analysis of its geometrical aspects contributes to an understanding of the traditional rules underlying the original design. The kārbandi of the octagonal vestibule of the Hashti pavilion consists of a complex roof system that completes the octagonal volume of the room below; its intrados presents a pattern of interlocking ribbed arches. The paper also looks at the drawings, module and proportions of the Hashti pavilion, w…
Imperatyw modlitwy za ojczyznę i rządzących w liturgicznej euchologii wybranych Kościołów wschodnich
2018
Liturgiczna modlitwa Kościoła powinna obejmować wszystkie przestrzenie życia człowieka wierzącego. Nie można jej ograniczać tylko do spraw duchowych, ale należy w nią włączać również istotne faktory społeczne. Podjęta w artykule problematyka dotyczy jednego z nich: modlitwy za ojczyznę i rządzących nią. Po prezentacji terminologii i jej swoistej dewaluacji, zaprezentowano szereg fragmentów liturgicznej modlitwy dwóch tradycji wschodnich (bizantyjskiej i syroorientalnej), które jednoznacznie wskazują, że zanoszone za ojczyznę, naród, władzę i wojsko modlitwy w intuicji Wschodu nie są jedynie wyrazem pobożności, ale jawią się jako rzeczywisty imperatyw. Bazuje on na apostolskim wezwaniu do mo…

State Capacity, Legal Design and the Venality of Judicial Offices
2020
We develop a model of venal judicial offices, i.e., sales of public positions in the judicial sector, which were used extensively in France (and many other European countries) during the 17th and 18th centuries, and which led to vastly improved French State capacity despite limited opportunities to raise taxes and to borrow. In this model, venality provides financial resources for the ruler, at the cost of less control over judicial decisions. We rely on this model to provide an analytic narrative of the rise and the decline of venality in Old Regime France.
Precision and accuracy of single-molecule FRET measurements-a multi-laboratory benchmark study
2018
Single-molecule Forster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) is increasingly being used to determine distances, structures, and dynamics of biomolecules in vitro and in vivo. However, generalized protocols and FRET standards to ensure the reproducibility and accuracy of measurements of FRET efficiencies are currently lacking. Here we report the results of a comparative blind study in which 20 labs determined the FRET efficiencies (E) of several dye-labeled DNA duplexes. Using a unified, straightforward method, we obtained FRET efficiencies with s.d. between +/- 0.02 and +/- 0.05. We suggest experimental and computational procedures for converting FRET efficiencies into accurate distances, and…
Ancient greek philosophy and the islamic tradition: the origins of social life, diversity, and political authority
2020
The interplay between a naturalistic understanding of social origins and the vision of the ruler as God’s representative on earth is a major aspect of medieval and early modern Islamic political discourse. The ancient Greek tradition had a formative influence on Islamic meditation regarding the origins of human society, the role of government, justice, and the qualities of the good ruler. The aim of this article is to revisit the impact of the Greek legacy on various theories about the emergence of human society and political authority that were propounded medieval Islamic authors. In the first section of this article, I review the reception of ancient Greek sources in the Islamic world and…
