The unavailability of the text " HHC " and need for making it 1 available to the students was felt by the Indian Chemical 1 Society (founded by PC Ray) in the year 1948. The council of the society also found the need to incorporate all additional important information that has been brought to light. It was further decided to change the name of the text " HHC " into " History of Chemistry in Anc...

Every member of Society, from the moment he is born, has a vested interest in disability. Those who escape it early in life achieve it by old age which, in itself, is a social and physical handicap. Yet the man-in-the-street or woman on the Clapham omnibus has no constructive ideas, nor indeed thoughts, on the matter. A letter on disability published in the national press evokes no response. Ye...

2005 According to the phase theory, the recent development of the Minimalist Program, sentences are built in smaller chunks––phases. Each phase starts out with its own numeration and is completed when the structure constructed in a phase is sent to the two interfaces, PF and LF. Thus, because of simultaneous Spell-Out, every element participating in the derivation should be both pronounced and ...

Povinelli and Vonk [1] argue that human beings have a theory of mind and chimpanzees do not. But this black and white picture is exceedingly misleading. We can add the necessary color – on the basis of reliable scientific findings using a variety of experimental methods – by recognizing that the generic label ‘theory of mind’ actually covers a wide range of processes of social cognition. As we ...

BACKGROUND Medical school attrition is important--securing a place in medical school is difficult and a high attrition rate can affect the academic reputation of a medical school and staff morale. More important, however, are the personal consequences of dropout for the student. The aims of our study were to examine factors associated with attrition over a ten-year period (2001-2011) and to stu...

“It’s tinnitus. There’s nothing we can do for you. You’ll just have to learn to live with it.” Those words—so frequently uttered by an authority figure in a white coat—all too often hammer the first nail into the coffin of fear and despair in a person turning to a doctor for enlightenment and hope. As I see it, from a clinical perspective, we have three duties to patients presenting to us with ...

The paper will examine and compare features of the self within selected writings of Kierkegaard and Freud. Granted their objectives cover different perspectives, i.e. man’s spiritual qualities vis-à-vis his natural qualities; qualities that indeed call attention to their dissimilarities, I shall nevertheless make an effort to point out similarities. I believe that what would seem as “irreconcil...

The little girl who is the subject of this study was born in February, 1901, her mother dying at the same time in childbirth. Her father was a somewhat erratic personality, rather a genius in his own profession. The child was left in care of nurses and women relatives who spoiled the naturally masterful, egotistical girl to such an extent that living with her was almost impossible. The father r...

Here, Walcott argues that the “common experience of the New World . . . is colonialism” (1). This is true even for those whose “veneration of the Old is read as the idolatry of the mestizo” (1). Such writers remind us, Walcott argues, though they too are “victims of tradition” (1), “of our great debt to the great dead” (1) and that “those who break a tradition first hold it in awe” (1). Arguing...
