The Four Principles of Phenomenology2015 •
An article of Michel Henry's that I co-translated. It is a classic statement of Henry's emphasis on auto-affection as the fundamental ground of phenomenological analysis.
In a pre-Hyksos horizon at Tell el-Dab‘a, during the time of the 14th Dynasty the shortlived custom of attendant burial came up. Girls in the age of 11-20 years were buried at the threshhold of tomb chambers or beside these chambers. After a generation this custom was given up again. The question is, from where did this custom came from? In this article the Kerma Culture was considered as a source of origin of this habit as in the Near East such tombs were unknown during the Middle Bronze Age.In the meantime during the excavation of the Institute of Archaeology at the University of Warsaw such burials were found at the site of Tell Arbid in the Khabur region (see: WYNAŃSKA, Z. 2014 The Ancestor Cult in the Middle Bronze Age at Tell Arbid, Syria, in: P. Pfälzner et al., Contextualising Grave Inventories in the Ancient Near East: Proceedings of a Workshop at the London 7th ICAANE in April 2010and an International Symposium in Tübingen in November 2010, both organised by the Tübingen Post-Graduate School „Symbols of the Dead,“ Qatna Studien Supplementa 3, Wiesbaden, 39-49.) As also sacred architecture at Tell-el-Dab‘a has a cluster of parallels in this region and in northern Mesopotamia, research is focusing on this area to find the place from which the elite of the Pre-Hyksos population at Avaris took its spiritual inspirations.

Crecimiento económico óptimo y calidad ambientalEl debate actual sobre los problemas de agotamiento de los recursos naturales y los niveles de contaminación generados por la actividad económica, ha transcendido al campo del crecimiento económico. Lo que se pretende en este trabajo es utilizar el modelo de Ramsey (1928) y evaluar cómo se comportan las variables relevantes de una sociedad, cuando se incluye en un mecanismo social de preferencia la contaminación como un stock de desechos de la producción de bienes y servicios. Además, se utiliza las leyes de la termodinámica aplicadas a la energía y a los materiales, para elaborar una definición de contaminación, de modo que pueda ser incluida en la ecuación de acumulación de capital de la economía. Palabras Clave: Control óptimo, estado estacionario, contaminación, desutilidad, terminodinámica, entropía.

Differential expression of the ToxR regulon in classical and E1 Tor biotypes of Vibrio cholerae is due to biotype-specific control over toxT expression1996 •
The two major disease-causing biotypes of Vibrio cholerae, classical and El Tor, exhibit differences in their epidemic nature. Their behavior in the laboratory also differs in that El Tor strains produce two major virulence factors, cholera toxin (CT) and the toxin coregulated pilus (TCP), only under very restricted growth conditions, whereas classical strains do so in standard laboratory medium. Expression of toxin and TCP is controlled by two activator proteins, ToxR and ToxT, that operate in cascade fashion with ToxR controlling the synthesis of ToxT. Both biotypes express equivalent levels of ToxR, but only classical strains appear to express ToxT when grown in standard medium. In this report we show that restrictive expression of CT and TCP can be overcome in El Tor strains by expressing ToxT independently of ToxR. An El Tor strain lacking functional ToxT does not express CT or TCP, ruling out existence of a cryptic pathway for virulence regulation in this biotype. These result...

Influência de parâmetros meteorológicos na geração de energia em painéis fotovoltaicos: um caso de estudo do Smart Campus Facens, SP, Brasil2019 •
Resumo O conceito de cidades inteligentes, apesar de não possuir uma definição universalmente aceita, está cada vez mais sendo discutido. Com o aumento significativo da porcentagem da população que vive em cidades e o consequente aumento do uso dos recursos, novos modelos de cidades são desenhados para que tal crescimento possa ser sustentável. A energia é um dos principais recursos necessários para o homem, e novas formas de geração de energia devem ser consideradas. Devido às condições geográficas brasileiras, o uso da energia fotovoltaica aparenta ser uma excelente opção, porém hoje corresponde a aproximadamente 2% da energia total brasileira. Este trabalho buscou relacionar de que forma as condições meteorológicas influenciam na geração de energia de painéis fotovoltaicos, de modo a permitir a criação de ferramentas que identifiquem regiões com alto potencial de geração de energia fotovoltaica. As variáveis meteorológicas foram consideradas como variáveis independentes do modelo...

Est anachronique ce qui est contraire à la chronologie, c’est-à-dire à la raison du temps ou encore, dans le cadre de la société industrielle, à l’irrésistible marche en avant du Progrès. Les présents Anachronismes exposent ainsi une série de huit contresens historiques, non pas dans la mesure où ils entretiendraient maladroitement une certaine confusion des époques, mais parce qu’ils explorent volontairement des directions contraires à l’esprit du temps. Au bon sens communément admis, ils opposent des interprétations, des explicitations et des déchiffrages qui, invariablement, recherchent une forme de désajustement au contemporain. Ce faisant, ils favorisent l’avènement d’une pensée de l’intempestivité. Universitaire et philosophe, Baptiste Rappin consacre ses travaux à l’analyse de la société industrielle et managériale. Il est l’auteur de nombreux ouvrages, dont les deux volumes de la Théologie de l’Organisation : Au fondement du Management (2014) et De l’exception permanente (2018).
