since the days of ignorance, ode in arabic literature has been written based on a specified system and poets and critics have used this defined structure as foundation of their works. arabic ode consists of several parts, each of which is an introduction to the next part; first verse of an ode is called matla'. after matla' are placed tashbib (to mention youth affairs) or nasib (soft ...

Drawing an analogy between Wang Yangming’s endeavor to know ethical truth and Descartes’ quest for epistemic certainty, this paper proposes a reading of Wang's doctrine of the unity of knowing and acting to the effect that the doctrine does not express an ethical teaching about how the knowledge that is already acquired is to be related to acting, but an epistemological claim as to how we know ...

Ockham’s razor impels scientists to seek ever greater unity in nature. That seems to saddle science with a metaphysical presupposition of simplicity that might be false. The objection is apt if scientific method is understood as a system of inductive logic or proof, for then the unity of science must, somehow, function as an unjustified premise in scientific arguments. But if science is underst...

We consider a space-time variational formulation for linear parabolic partial differential equations. We introduce an associated Petrov-Galerkin truth finite element discretization with favorable discrete inf-sup constant βδ: βδ is bounded from below by unity for the heat equation; βδ grows only linearly in time for non-coercive (asymptotically stable) convection operators. The latter in turn p...

The article raises the question of reason for constant violent actions, primarily military, despite their long-standing universal condemnation. This brings us back to problem ontology violence. author proposes an approach based on understanding violence as labor with excessive use force. is due archaic power a source sacred. Truth attribute sacred in thinking. Here connection arises: - (deity) ...

We define theta functions attached to indefinite quadratic forms over real number fields and prove that these theta functions are Hilbert modular forms by regarding them as specializations of symplectic theta functions. The eighth root of unity which arises under modular transformations is determined explicitly.

This is a commentary on the article ‘The rise of post-truth populism in pluralist liberal democracies: challenges for health policy.’ It critically examines two of its key concepts: populism and ‘post truth.’ This commentary argues that there are different types of populism, with unclear links to impacts, and that in some ways, ‘post-truth’ has resonances with arguments advanced in the period a...

Every scientific discipline, every university and college, every institute, every research project, every researcher is, due to the “double-faced conception of science” (Dear, 2005, p. 404), confronted with the question of the relationship of scientific autonomy and scientific relevance (utility, applicability). The fields of educational science in particular are rooted in this double horizon o...
