Religious literacy or spiritual awareness? Comparative critique of Andrew Wright’s and David Hay’s approaches to spiritual education
2009
On the basis of a comparison of the educational approaches of Andrew Wright and David Hay this paper illustrates the persisting problem of dichotomising cognitive and trans‐cognitive aspects of spiritual development and education. Even though both Wright and Hay speak of the same topic – spirituality and spiritual education – they define these terms very differently, and as a consequence, they draw altogether different practical implications, set different priorities, and warn of different dangers in spiritual education. The main question set in this paper is whether it is possible to make room in spiritual education for both of these perspectives and how to combine them in a more holistic …
Forward and backward diffusion approximations for haploid exchangeable population models
2001
Abstract The class of haploid population models with non-overlapping generations and fixed population size N is considered such that the family sizes ν1,…,νN within a generation are exchangeable random variables. A criterion for weak convergence in the Skorohod sense is established for a properly time- and space-scaled process counting the number of descendants forward in time. The generator A of the limit process X is constructed using the joint moments of the offspring variables ν1,…,νN. In particular, the Wright–Fisher diffusion with generator Af(x)= 1 2 x(1−x)f″(x) appears in the limit as the population size N tends to infinity if and only if the condition lim N→∞ E((ν 1 −1) 3 )/(N Var …
Modeling of Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Using Dynamic Random Networks in an ABM Framework
2023
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is the fundamental principle of population genetics. In this article, we present a new NetLogo model called “Hardy-Weinberg Basic model v 2.0”, characterized by a strict adherence to the original assumptions made by Hardy and Weinberg in 1908. A particularly significant feature of this model is that the algorithm does not make use of the binomial expansion formula. Instead, we show that using a procedure based on dynamic random networks, diploid equilibrium can be achieved spontaneously by a population of agents reproducing sexually in a Mendelian fashion. The model can be used to conduct simulations with a wide range of initial population sizes and genotype distr…
Luokasta utopiaan : Erik Olin Wrightin myöhäistuotannosta
2020
Katsausartikkelissa tarkastellaan yhdysvaltalaisen marxilaissosiologi Erik Olin Wrightin niin sanottuihin todellisiin utopioihin kohdistunutta tutkimusta. Artikkelissa avataan sekä sitä, kuinka Wrightin todellisen utopian käsite tulisi ymmärtää, että sitä, kuinka hänen oma utopiansa eli ”sosiaalinen sosialismi” voisi olla mahdollinen ja millaiset tosimaailman kokeilut hänen mukaansa ennakoivat ja prefiguroivat tätä utopiaa. Lisäksi artikkelissa eritellään Wrightin käsityksiä antikapitalismin strategioista ja näiden myötä siitä, millä tavalla sosiaalisen sosialismin utopia olisi saavutettavissa. Artikkeli keskittyy erityisesti kahteen Wrightin myöhäistuotannon teokseen – Envisioning Real Uto…
Chicago e la tradizione dei vetri decorativi: Louis Comfort Tiffany e Frank Lloyd Wright
2012
Pensando all’arte sviluppatasi in America a cavallo tra Ottocento e Novecento non possono non venire in mente le figure di Louis Comfort Tiffany e Frank Lloyd Wright, due grandi protagonisti di quel tempo passati alla storia come pionieri, il primo nell’ambito delle arti decorative e il secondo nello specifico architettonico, ma ancora oggi fonte di ispirazione per designer all’avanguardia.
Inferring genetic connectivity in real populations, exemplified by coastal and oceanic atlantic cod
2018
Significance Estimates of migration are important for understanding the dynamics of natural populations. A statistic known as FST is often used to measure levels of genetic differentiation among natural populations. Equations that translate FST into estimates of migration are based on “ideal” populations, which are subject to many simplifying assumptions compared with real populations. Therefore, theoretical estimates of migration might not be realistic. We modeled populations of Atlantic cod in the North Sea and the adjacent Skagerrak region to compare how migration is related to the complexities of real populations, and how actual migration compares with predictions based on theory. Resul…
Plexiform Atypical Spitz Tumor With Rosette-Like Giant Cells. A Histologic and Immunohistochemical Study on a Case Suggesting Ganglioneuroblastic Dif…
2018
Spitz nevi, atypical Spitz tumors and Spitzoid melanoma, the three clinicopathologic forms that constitute the spectrum of the Spitz-type melanocytic lesions, share a histologic picture characterized by large spindle and/or epithelioid ganglion-like cells, with various admixtures of multinucleate bizarre cells. This remarkable cytology has always been interpreted as an unusual, as well as unexplained form of atypia. We report a case of atypical Spitz tumor with Homer Wright-like rosettes, a feature characteristic of ganglioneuroblastic proliferation. Furthermore, the ganglion-like cells of the tumor showed basophilic punctuation in the cytoplasm, reminiscent of Nissl substance, and a few ce…
Carlo Scarpa e la Galleria Regionale della Sicilia. L’assenza dell’angelo Gabriele, la presenza di Frank Lloyd Wright e la vertigine
2019
A Palermo in via Alloro, nel Mandamento Tribunali, si trova il Palazzo Abatellis sede dal 1954 della Galleria Regionale della Sicilia, a pochi metri dalla chiesa di Santa Maria degli Angeli. Varcato il portale, in una giornata di sole, gli occhi dei visitatori scoprono, in modo inconscio, l’alternanza di spazi in ombra e in piena luce, senza ancora sapere che tale sequenza sarà uno dei motivi conduttori dell’allestimento. Tale intuizione, maturata ancor prima di acquistare il biglietto, deve essere preceduta dall’esplicitazione di alcune ragioni del progetto. Innanzitutto ci si chiede perché Carlo Scarpa, nei primi anni Cinquanta del XX secolo, sia presente a Palermo. Si possono distinguere…
