Download or read book The reform that Physics needs written by J. M. Arnaiz and published by Ediciones Go Beyond. This book was released on with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book we develop step by step the FIRST ALGEBRA OF MAGNITUDES, the specific dyadic algebra for physical quantities, in order to rectify the sloppy hypothesis of «arithmetization» of Physics, normalized by the International System of Units in sections 2.1, 5.2 , 5.4.1 and 5.4.6 of his brochure SI, which is tolerated by a clueless scientific community. With dyadic algebra, full meaning is given to the meanings of the laws, equations and compound units of Physics, a sense that we all neglect today . As a culmination, the «DYSMETRIC» FORECAST is reached, with innumerable and far-reaching implications for the enrichment of physical models and the development of infinite innovations. In this way, the trap of «arithmetizing» Physics in which we all easily fall, even the most reputable and award-winning scientists, is ended. Except for one in the entire history of Physics, which was Newton, the only one who operated with magnitudes through the affinity of physical quantities with the elements of geometry, teaching us that, although Physics is not «arithmetizable», on the other hand it is it can be «geometrized». It seems incredible, but it is a grotesque fact that nowadays no one cares about what is really done when operating with physical magnitudes or what is the full meaning of the composite magnitudes or of the analytical formulations, which underlie all of Physics, for what no one should take a step without first having clarified this knowledge. On the contrary, it turns out that operations apparently as elementary as the multiplication of a meter by a kilogram have no arithmetic explanation, because no one identifies what the multiplier of that product is, which does not multiply numbers, but rather dyads or quantities of length and mass. Despite which, it seems that no one is bothered by such a ridiculous embarrassment. Can one call himself a physicist who cannot rigorously define this simple operation and does not care? Can a science be called Physics that lacks a coherent algebra to operate with its fundamental elements, the quantities of physical phenomena? The truth is that the defect is too gross not to take it into account. All this as a consequence of the fact that the current arithmetic hypothesis that postulates the abelian multiplicative group structure for the magnitudes is impossible. Such a structure is only valid for internal additive laws, it is not valid for external multiplicative laws. Obviously, this situation is shameful and pernicious for Physics, it is unsustainable and must be corrected as soon as possible. The dyadic algebra of magnitudes, in addition to giving meaning to the laws, equations, and compound magnitudes, reveals striking consequences, such as the non-existence of inverse elements of physical units, since heterogeneous multiplicative dyadic operations are not internal composition laws, but external. In turn, it naturally leads to «dysmetry», which makes it possible to represent the infinite physical realms of empty space and which radically transforms the vision of physical constants, incompatible in an absolute sense with «dysmetric» spaces, including the number pi and the speed of light.
Download or read book Primera lgebra de magnitudes written by J. M. ARNAIZ and published by Ediciones Go Beyond. This book was released on 2017-08-19 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E-mail: [email protected] Las ecuaciones de la Física no relacionan sin más números, vectores o tensores de índole matemática, sino cantidades diádicas formadas con esos componentes vinculados a unidades diversas que indican cantidades de magnitudes naturales. Entonces, ¿por qué se opera con los entes diádicos de la Física como si fuesen elementos matemáticos puros?, ¿no supone esta ficción una aberración que envilece todo el conocimiento científico? Algunos autores han advertido de esta laguna crítica, que oculta a la Física un pilar tan fundamental. Pueden citarse preeminentes físicos como Clerk Maxwell o Max Planck, entre otros clásicos. Todos manifestaron a su manera los escrúpulos suscitados por la tradicional e injustificada forma de operar con las magnitudes físicas y sus unidades. Aquí se descubre, describe y resuelve tan notable paradoja de «aritmetización» de la Física y se construye un álgebra rigurosa y coherente para las cantidades de magnitudes. La Primera álgebra de magnitudes resuelve la hipótesis falsa del Sistema Internacional de Unidades, consistente en suponer negligentemente que las magnitudes físicas presenten estructura multiplicativa de grupo abeliano. No puede ser así, como se demuestra en este trabajo. Finalmente, se pone de manifiesto el camino lógico e inapelable que conduce del álgebra de magnitudes a los espacios «dismétricos», que se estudian con mayor profundidad en el segundo volumen de esta obra. La «dismetría» es una nueva y poderosa herramienta para representar con precisión los fenómenos físicos de un universo variable. Esta nueva Física acoge multitud de innovaciones, que sin duda sabrán apreciar muchos investigadores emprendedores. The equations of Physics do not simply relate numbers, vectors or tensors of a mathematical nature, but rather dyadic quantities formed with these components linked to various units that indicate quantities of natural magnitudes. So, why do we operate with the dyadic entities of Physics as if they were pure mathematical elements? Doesn't this fiction suppose an aberration that debases all scientific knowledge? Some authors have warned of this critical gap, which hides such a fundamental pillar from Physics. Pre-eminent physicists such as Clerk Maxwell or Max Planck, among other classics, can be cited. All of them expressed in their own way the scruples aroused by the traditional and unjustified way of operating with physical quantities and their units. Here such a remarkable «arithmeticization» paradox of Physics is discovered, described and solved and a rigorous and coherent algebra is constructed for the quantities of magnitudes. The First Algebra of Magnitudes resolves the false hypothesis of the International System of Units, consisting of negligently assuming that physical magnitudes have a multiplicative abelian group structure. It cannot be like that, as demonstrated in this work. Finally, the logical and unappealable path that leads from the algebra of magnitudes to the «dysmetric» spaces is revealed, which are studied in greater depth in the second volume of this work. «Dysmetry» is a powerful new tool for accurately representing the physical phenomena of a variable universe. This new Physics welcomes a multitude of innovations, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by many enterprising researchers.

Download or read book Mexican American Religions written by Gastón Espinosa and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2008-07-08 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection presents a rich, multidisciplinary inquiry into the role of religion in the Mexican American community. Breaking new ground by analyzing the influence of religion on Mexican American literature, art, activism, and popular culture, it makes the case for the establishment of Mexican American religious studies as a distinct, recognized field of scholarly inquiry. Scholars of religion, Latin American, and Chicano/a studies as well as of sociology, anthropology, and literary and performance studies, address several broad themes. Taking on questions of history and interpretation, they examine the origins of Mexican American religious studies and Mario Barrera’s theory of internal colonialism. In discussions of the utopian community founded by the preacher and activist Reies López Tijerina, César Chávez’s faith-based activism, and the Los Angeles-based Católicos Por La Raza movement of the late 1960s, other contributors focus on mystics and prophets. Still others illuminate popular Catholicism by looking at Our Lady of Guadalupe, home altars, and Los Pastores dramas (nativity plays) as vehicles for personal, social, and political empowerment. Turning to literature, contributors consider Gloria Anzaldúa’s view of the borderlands as a mystic vision and the ways that Chicana writers invoke religious symbols and rhetoric to articulate a moral vision highlighting social injustice. They investigate the role of healing, looking at it in relation to both the Latino Pentecostal movement and the practice of the curanderismo tradition in East Los Angeles. Delving into to popular culture, they reflect on Luis Valdez’s video drama La Pastorela: “The Shepherds’ Play,” the spirituality of Chicana art, and the religious overtones of the reverence for the slain Tejana music star Selena. This volume signals the vibrancy and diversity of the practices, arts, traditions, and spiritualities that reflect and inform Mexican American religion. Contributors: Rudy V.

On behalf of IAMCR VIC-Visual Culture Working Group- I, Denize Araujo, PhD, thank Thomas Wiedemann, PhD, Vice-Chair and Curator of VIC CineClub, who selected five French films open for discussion, and also Roger Odin, PhD, Guest of Honor of this session of VIC CineClub, who sent comments about the film Muriel (Resnais, 1963). The E-Book Cinema/Cinéma Français/Cine Francés is VIC ́s proposal as an homage to Lyon, birth of cinéma and site of IAMCR Conference 2023. Appris Editor is the publisher and the publication counts with an International Scientific Committee and texts by researchers from eight countries, in the three official IAMCR idioms: English, French and Spanish, including Roger Odin ́s comments about the film Muriel (Resnais, 1963). The dates for the two sessions of the Workshop with the E-book authors are June 3 and 10 and the launch of it will be in Lyon, during IAMCR 2023 Conference online, from July 9 to 13. Trying to develop a multilevel dialog among the texts, I selected them according to their specific related themes and created three clusters: "filmmakers and their works"; "comparative film analyses"; and "interchanges between two countries". Four authors are included in the first cluster for sharing the same themes, two of them for discussing corporality and two for their focus on cinéma history and silent movies. Two authors share the second cluster for developing comparative analyses and three authors belong to the third cluster presenting interchanges between two countries.

Download or read book On the Corposphere written by José Enrique Finol and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents and analyzes some of the most important issues related to the body seen as a rich and complex anthropological and semiotic object, capable of playing a decisive role in the meaning making processes of cultural and social life. The analysis presented in this book opens a whole set of new venues for the study of body performances and representations, and shows how the embodiment of social and cultural life shape our world. In all of its relationships and in itself, our body works in a sort of corposphere, which is, in turn, part of the semiosphere, defined by Lotman as a continuum occupied by different types of semiotic formations. It is from/in/by the body that all semiosis begins and ends; it is in its presence and absence, in its being and in its presentation amidst the lived situational life where we might discover and shape the senses of the world. Many different academic fields will find in this book deep insights about how the body is at the center of cultural and social processes.
Download or read book Skin in Psychoanalysis written by Jorge Ulnik and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skin in Psychoanalysis is an important theoretical contribution, revising several authors starting with Freud in whose writing we can now discover multiple direct or indirect references to the skin. It adopts a decidedly complex point of view regarding the skin here: the skin as source, the skin as object, the skin as protection and as a way of entrance, as contact and as contagion, the skin 'for two' within the relationship with the mother, the skin as envelope and as support, as a shell presented as 'second skin', as demarcation of individuality, as a place of inscription of non-verbal memories, toxic envelops and so on. Also, being the result of more than fifteen years of work with dermatologists and patients with skin diseases, psoriasis in particular, the book can be seen as a serious proposal for interdisciplinary work between dermatologists and psychoanalysts.'The hospital is a place where both tragedies and miracles occur, where many people go to heal but many others go in search for punishment.

Download or read book Andean Journeys a Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary Bolivian Poetry written by Ronald Haladyna and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12-20 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andean Journeys: A Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary Bolivian Poetry is the fourth in a series of books that aspire to address a dearth of information in the English-speaking world about South American poetry of the past thirty years. The fourteen outstanding poets included here represent a diversity of themes, styles, and perspectives in one of South Americas more marginalized nations. All of them have published extensively, have been recognized through literary awards and inclusion in national and international anthologies, and continue writing and publishing today. For readers unfamiliar with Bolivia, the introduction provides a brief background of its geography, history, politics, economy, and society. This is followed by an ample selection of representative poems published previously in Spanish, with translations in English on facing pages. The book concludes with a brief biographical sketch of each poet and an extensive bibliography of primary and secondary sources for readers wishing to pursue further reading or research. Contemporary Uruguayan Poetry: A Bilingual Anthology; Exotic Territory: A Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary Paraguayan Poetry; and Volcanic Reflections: A Bilingual Anthology of Contemporary Ecuadorian Poetry are companion volumes that offer similar exposure to poetry that deserves to be better known in the English-speaking world.
Download or read book Evangelization and Cultural Conflict in Colonial Mexico written by Robert H. Jackson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-02 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a study published in the mid-twentieth century, French historian Robert Ricard postulated that the evangelization and conversion of the native populations of Mexico had been rapid and relatively easy. However, different forms of evidence show that the so-called “spiritual conquest” was anything but easy or rapid, and, in fact, natives continued to practice their traditional beliefs alongside Catholicism. Within several decades of initiating the so-called “spiritual conquest,” the campaign to evangelize and convert the native populations, the missionaries faced growing evidence of idolatry or the persistence of traditional religious practices and apostasy, straying from Church teachings. The evidence includes written documents such as inquisition investigations that resulted, for example, in the execution of don Carlos, the native ruler of Tezcoco, on December 1, 1539, or that uncovered evidence of systematic organized resistance to Dominican missionaries in the Sierra Mixteca of Oaxaca. Other forms of evidence include pre-Hispanic religious iconography incorporated into what ostensibly were Christian murals, and pre-Hispanic stones embedded in the churches and convents the missionaries had built. One example of this was the stone with the face of Tláloc at the rear of the Franciscan church Santiago Tlatelolco in Distrito Federal. During the course of some three centuries, missionaries from different Catholic religious orders attempted to convert the native populations of colonial Mexico, with mixed results. Native groups throughout colonial Mexico resisted the imposition of the new religion in overt and covert forms, and incorporated Catholicism into their worldview on their own terms. Native cultural and religious traditions were more flexible than the Iberian Catholic norms introduced by the missionaries. The so-called “spiritual conquest,” a term coined by Ricard, evolved as a cultural war set against the backdrop of the imposition of a foreign colonial regime. The 11 essays in this volume examine the efforts to evangelize the native populations of Mexico, the approaches taken by the missionaries, and native responses. The contributions investigate the interplay between natives and missionaries in central Mexico, and on the southern and northern frontiers of New Spain, and among sedentary and non-sedentary natives. In the end, many natives found little in the new faith to attract them, and resisted the imposition of new religious norms and way of life.
Download or read book Ensayos Sobre la Obra de Juan Rulfo written by Gustavo C. Fares and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los ensayos del presente volumen fueron escritos durante la última década y reflexionan acerca de una serie de temas que se encuentran presentes en la obra de Juan Rulfo. Estos temas pueden resumirse en cuatro conceptos: el espacio, la sociedad, la concepción de la realidad, y la marginalidad. Ellos exploran la concepción del espacio tal como aparece tratada en los trabajos literarios y visuales del escritor mexicano; la insersión del autor y de su obra en la circunstancia histórica de la sociedad mexicana de mediados de siglo, así como de los eventos que sus escritos reflejan; las maneras de pensar propias de las poblaciones indígenas y campesinas de América Latina, su concepción de la realidad y del universo, que generalmente se oponen a las maneras del pensar occidental; y la noción de marginalidad que permea la obra de Rulfo. Estos conceptos guían el estudio de la obra rulfiana, que aun hoy día genera lecturas ricas y novedosas.
Download or read book Robert Lowell la mirada de Aquiles written by Gabriel Torres Chalk and published by Universitat de València. This book was released on 2011-11-28 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La mirada de Aquiles es un libro que recoge, describe y analiza el gran acorde que representa la poética de Robert Lowell en la coyuntura de la literatura norteamericana contemporánea. Así concentramos nuestra mirada sobre la secuencia poética de Life Studies (1959), que interpretamos como epicentro irradiador del sistema imaginario de este poeta. Una secuencia que también supuso un punto de inflexión en la vida pública desde una yoidad que impulsó su universo íntimo y profundamente elegíaco hacia el exterior. Desde aquí se procede a profundizar en For the Union Dead (1964), para reflexionar sobre lo que denominamos como conflictividad axiológica estructural inherente al sistema imaginario de Lowell. Desde esta perspectiva se parte de la edición norteamericana que incluye ambas secuencias poéticas y que contiene la importante sección en prosa titulada '91 Revere Street'. La profundización en estas dos secuencias líricas implica la revisión previa de un mapa de relecturas que afecta no sólo a la obra anterior de Lowell sino a toda la modulación de su sistema imaginario desde su temprana etapa creativa. Es un camino hacia y desde el mito buscando llenar el vacío de las crisis religiosas tanto del propio Lowell como del pensamiento occidental, tal como indica George Steiner. El poeta accede a Aquiles como referente. Así, desde la asimilación del mito construye su cosmovisión a partir de la palabra poética.
Download or read book The Age of Dissent written by Martín Bowen and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2023-04 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Age of Dissent argues that the defining feature of the Age of Revolutions in Latin America was the emergence of dissent as an inescapable component of political life. While contestation and seditious ideas had always been present in the region, never before had local regimes been forced to consider radical dissension as an unavoidable dimension of politics. Focusing on urban Chile between the first anticolonial conspiracy of 1780 and the consolidation of an authoritarian regime in 1833, the book argues that this revolution was caused by how people practiced communication and framed its power.
Download or read book Transculturation written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transculturation: Cities, Spaces and Architectures in Latin America explores the critical potential inherent in the notion of “transculturation” in order to understand contemporary architectural practices and their cultural realities in Latin America. Despite its enormous theoretical potential and its importance within Latin American cultural theory, the term transculturation had never permeated into architectural debates. In fact, none of the main architectural theories produced in and about Latin America during the second half of the twentieth century engaged seriously with this notion as a way to analyze the complex social, cultural and political circumstances that affect the development of the continent’s cities, its urban spaces and its architectures. Therefore, this book demonstrates, for the first time, that the term transculturation is an invaluable tool in dismantling the essentialist, genealogical and hierarchical perspectives from which Latin American architectural practices have been viewed. Transculturation: Cities, Spaces and Architectures in Latin America introduces new readings and interpretations of the work of well-known architects, new analyses regarding the use of architectural materials and languages, new questions to do with minority architectures, gender and travel, and, from beginning to end, it engages with important political and theoretical debates that have rarely been broached within Latin American architectural circles.
Download or read book Skin and Psyche written by Klas Nordlind and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practicing dermatologists are likely to encounter several patients who have psychological difficulties in dealing with various skin conditions. While there are several factors that might be responsible for these difficulties (such as physical and mental stress), it is becoming increasingly clear nowadays that skin disease patients experiencing such issues need to be managed with a multidisciplinary approach to improve treatment outcomes. Skin and the Psyche delves into the realm of psychodermatology – the cusp of dermatology, psychology and psychiatry. The book enhances the reader´s knowledge about relevant topics such as the biology of the skin, the impact of stress on skin inflammation, acne vulgaris, skin diseases secondary to delusions and other psychiatric diseases, psoriasis and much more. Different forms of non-pharmacological treatments of these diseases are also mentioned. The book also contains a concise guide to building a psychodermatology clinic. Skin and the Psyche is a vital reference for dermatologists, hospital managers and psychiatrists looking for tips to improve their ability to interact with individuals while assisting them to cope with dermatological diseases and conditions.
