Kant and Baumgarten on positing. Kant's notion of positing as a response to that of Baumgarten
2020
In the literature on Kant’s philosophy, it is almost universally ignored that Baumgarten used the notion of positing in a technical sense before Kant. In this article, I try to fill this gap in the literature by providing an analysis of Kant’s notion of positing in relation to Baumgarten’s one. I first show how Kant's differentiation of relative and absolute positing is not simply an alternative to Baumgarten's notion of existence, but is instead an alternative to his (usually ignored) notion of positing; I then develop a positive account of Kant’s notion of positing.
Lawrence Kelso Frank's Proto Ayresian Dichotomy: A Note
2003
This paper explores Lawrence Kelso Frank's contribution to the evolution of the so called Veblenian dichotomy. According to this apprach, peculiar to the institutional framework of every economic system is an absolute and irreconcilable tension between the dynamic and progressive force of technology on the one side, and the static and conservative structure of ceremony and institutions on the other. The first section examines Frank's adoption of behavioristic psychology in connection with the main changes which were taking place in the American social sciences during the first decades of the twentieth century. The second section describes Frank's theory of institutional change, emphasizing …
On the variations of acoustic absorption peak with particle velocity in micro-perforated panels at high level of excitation.
2010
The acoustic behavior of micro-perforated panels (MPP) is studied theoretically and experimentally at high level of pressure excitation. A model based on Forcheimer's regime of flow velocity in the perforations is proposed. This model is valid at relatively high Reynolds numbers and low Mach numbers. The experimental method consists in measuring the acoustical pressure at three different positions in an impedance tube, the two measurement positions usually considered in an impedance tube and one measurement in the vicinity of the rear surface of the MPP. The impedance tube is equipped with a pressure driver instead of the usual loudspeaker and capable of delivering a high sound pressure lev…
Acoustic characterization of Silica aerogel clamped plates for perfect absorption purpose
2017
International audience; Silica aerogel has been widely studied as bulk material for its extremely low density and thermal conductivity. Plates or membranes made of this extremely soft materials exhibits interesting properties for sound absorption. A novel signal processing method for the characterization of an acoustic metamaterial made of silica aerogel clamped plates is presented. The acoustic impedance of a silica aerogel clamped plate is derived from the elastic theory for the flexural waves, while the transfer matrix method is used to model reflection and transmission coefficients of a single plate. Experimental results are obtained by using an acoustic impedance tube. The difference b…
A call for dissensus in art education!
2019
This article argues for the relevance of the term dissensus by the French philosopher Jacques Rancière in an art educational context in particular and an educational context in general. This argument is based on research referred to in this article, where the author made use of dissensus to analyse how encounters with contemporary art contribute to movements in youngsters’ ways of relating to artworks and the environment that surrounds them, as well as changes in the ways of relating to themselves and others ‐ what here is called events of subjectivation. As dissensus is seen as a premise for subjectivation, the author argues for initiating dissensus by introducing students to both art and …
Ethical Climate as Social Norm: Impact on Judgements and Behavioral Intentions in the Workplace.
2021
We present a study that looks at the relationship between the ethical climate, considered as a set of social norms, and judgments and behaviors in the workplace. In this case we think that an ethical rule reflecting the climate is only actualized in conduct and/or decisions if the rule is applicable, is shared, and is the subject of social expectations. A total of 277 professionals responded to a questionnaire measuring the normativity of three ethical rules, socio-moral judgment, trust in supervisors, turnover intention, and discrimination as well as abusive supervision. The results confirm our hypothesis. This leads to a different view of how the ethical climate is measured and constructe…
Tutorial Action in Small Groups: An Educational Experience With University Students
2016
Resumen:En el presente estudio se plantean tres objetivos. El primero, describir las principales características de un programa de acción tutorial desarrollado en una asignatura de una facultad de formación de profesorado. El segundo, determinar la valoración del grado de importancia que el estudiantado otorga a un grupo de competencias transversales y el grado de conocimiento sobre aspectos relacionados con la metodología de investigación durante el proceso de acción tutorial. El tercero, discutir el papel que juega la acción tutorial en la formación universitaria dentro del nuevo espacio europeo de educación superior. La experiencia se desarrolló en el curso académico 2014-2015. Participa…
Andrei Șerban: The Search for ‘New Forms’
2021
This chapter discusses the theatre of Andrei Șerban, definitely one of the most important theatre directors of the second half of the twentieth century. He began directing in Communist Romania in the 1960s and had to deal with censorship, so in order to avoid this uncomfortable context, he focused on interpreting the text—he constantly searched for new nuances and made use of all possible subtexts. These are the premises of his work and when he moved to the USA, he continued this artistic strategy. Throughout his career, Andrei Șerban has been passionate about staging The Seagull (five times), as he is constantly looking for new forms, just like Chekhov’s character Treplev. A special accent…
Nuevas vías de depósito, nuevos proyectos: consolidación del repositorio institucional RODERIC
2017
El objetivo de este artículo es dar a conocer los nuevos proyectos del repositorio institucional de la Universitat de València, RODERIC, así como las nuevas vías de depósito de documentos de investigación. Para ello, se analizan las distintas actuaciones dentro del apartado de investigación del repositorio. En primer lugar, las centradas en el área de revistas editadas en la UV, los proyectos sobre digitalización de tesis retrospectivas y publicación de tesis corrientes, y finalmente la integración del sistema CRIS con el repositorio. Se acaba con la descripción de una serie de mejoras que se prevén están disponibles en la segunda mitad de 2013. The aim of this paper is to present new proje…
The Relationship Between Safety Attitudes and Occupational Accidents
2011
This research provides empirical evidence on the relationships between employee attitudes to safety issues and accident indicators in a Spanish context. The research attempts to review to what degree those attitudes reflect a collective, or shared, climate for safety within a number of organizations. Data were gathered from workers in a number of industries in Valencia (Spain) by questionnaire. A total of 1,234 valid questionnaires were completed and formed the basis for subsequent analysis. Analysis of the attitude dimensions found a similar structure to that found in previous research in other countries, as well as identifying those dimensions shared within groups, more likely to represe…
