It argues against the complaint that the study is antiquarian. It contends that, although HET does not confer operational and objective skills, it does provide insight into economic ideas, and sharpens our acumen in responding to them.

COBB JR. [source] MICROALGAE AND CYANOBACTERIA: FOOD FOR THOUGHT,JOURNAL OF PHYCOLOGY, Issue 2 2008Miroslav Gantar In non-Western civilizations, cyanobacteria have been part of the human diet for centuries. Today, microalgae and cyanobacteria are either produced in controlled cultivation processes or harvested from the natural habitats and marketed as food supplements around the world. Cyanobacteria produce a vast array of different biologically active compounds, some of which are expected to be used in drug development. The fact that some of the active components from cyanobacteria potentially have anticancer, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and other effects is being used for marketing purposes. However, introduction of these products in the form of whole biomass for alimentary purposes raises concerns regarding the potential toxicity and long-term effects on human health. Here, we review data on the use of cyanobacteria and microalgae in human nutrition and searched for available information on legislature that regulates the use of these products. We have found that, although the quality control of these products is most often self-regulated by the manufacturers, different governmental agencies are introducing strict regulations for placing novel products, such as algae and cyanobacteria, on the market. The existing regulations require these products to be tested for the presence of toxins, such as microcystin; however, other, sometimes novel, toxins remain undetected, and their long-term effects on human health remain unknown. [source] WRITING THE HISTORY OF HISTORIED THOUGHTMETAPHILOSOPHY, Issue 5 2005Joanne B. Waugh Abstract: In Historied Thought, Constructed World, Joseph Margolis identifies the philosophical themes that will dominate philosophical discussions in the twenty-first century, given the recognition of the historicity of philosophical thought in the twentieth century. In what follows I examine these themes, especially cognitive intransparency, and the arguments presented in favor of them, noting the extent to which they rest on a view of language that takes a written text, and not speech, as the paradigm of language. I suggest if one takes speech as a mutual embodied action in a shared space as a model for language, the theme of cognitive intransparency,and the problems it brings in its wake,does not loom so large for those of us working in the history of philosophy. I conclude by showing that if we adopt this suggestion in relation to early Greek philosophy, that is, the period in the history of historied thought in which philosophy itself emerges as a linguistic and intellectual activity, we can better understand how and why philosophy emerged as it did,in the form of dialogues by Plato. [source] THEOLOGY FROM A FRACTURED VISTA: SUSAN NEIMAN'S EVIL IN MODERN THOUGHTMODERN THEOLOGY, Issue 1 2007PHILIP J. ROSSI SJ Evil in Modern Thought, Susan Neiman's account of the intellectual trajectory of modernity, employs the trope "homeless" to articulate deep difficulties that affirmations of divine transcendence and of human capacities to acknowledge transcendence face in a contemporary context thoroughly marked by fragmentation, fragility, and contingency. The "hospitality" of the Incarnation, which makes a fractured world a place for divine welcoming of the human in all its contingency and brokenness, is proposed as locus for theological engagement with Neiman's appropriation of a Kantian sense of hope as the readiness to resist evil in a world seemingly bereft of welcome.

DoorleyNEW BLACKFRIARS, Issue 1012 2006PETER GROVES First page of article [source] UNDERSTANDING DIVERSITY IN AFRICAN AMERICAN POLITICAL THOUGHT: COMPARING DU BOIS, WASHINGTON, GARVEY AND ELIJAH MUHAMMADPOLITICS & POLICY, Issue 2 2000Jaswant M. Sullivan This study provides a systematic and comparative treatment of four African-American political thinkers. Previous works on African-American political thought have been mostly biographical and idiographic treatments. This study uses the comparative method to systematically evaluate the political philosophies of W. E. B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, Elijah Muhammad, and Marcus Garvey. Although the study does not claim that the thinker's political thought is causally related to his activist position, it is expected that there is a logical connection between them. The study introduces a framework which combines two dimensions into four categories. The four thinkers are hypothesized to each fit a different category. The findings support the hypothesized categorization. [source] SITUATING ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITY: A COMPARISON OF MEDIEVAL CHRISTIAN AND MEDIEVAL ISLAMIC ADMINISTRATIVE THOUGHTPUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, Issue 3 2006SARAR. Contemporary studies of administrative thought allow only a limited range of viability for medieval and non-Western thought on the subject of public administration. This tendency belies the wealth of thought embedded within this broad literature. This paper investigates the matter of administrative accountability and responsibility through the lens of a comparative theorist of historical administrative thought. In order to assess the explanatory potential of early and non-Western administrative studies, two texts have been chosen, both previously unanalysed in conjunction (to the best of my knowledge) from the perspective of the administrative theorist , John of Salisbury's Policraticus and Abu al-Hassan Al-Mawardi's Al-Akham al-Sultaniyya w'al-Wilayat al Diniyya (The Ordinances of Government). Through an analysis of ideas of delegation and responsibility within these texts, the paper seeks to develop a critique of the place of revealed religious authority in the solution to the questions ,who are administrators responsible to?' and ,what are administrators responsible for?' [source] CONFUSED THOUGHT AND MODES OF PRESENTATIONTHE PHILOSOPHICAL QUARTERLY, Issue 218 2005Krista Lawlor Ruth Millikan has long argued that the phenomenon of confused thought requires us to abandon certain traditional programmes for mental semantics. On the one hand she argues that confused thought involves confused concepts, and on the other that Fregean senses, or modes of presentation, cannot be useful in theorizing about minds capable of confused thinking. I argue that while we might accept that concepts can be confused, we have no reason to abandon modes of presentation. Making sense of confused thought requires recognizing modes of presentation.

The ACCC's regulatory activities in focusing on of those industries where competition is limited are examined. It is argued that the focus here is two fold: to create conditions for fair competition in industries that rely on the services of facilities with natural monopoly characteristics and the administration of price caps to minimise the impact of monopoly power.

[source] ORNITHOPHILIA: THOUGHTS ON GEOGRAPHY IN BIRDINGGEOGRAPHICAL REVIEW, Issue 2 2010MARK BONTA abstract. The deeper motives of bird-watchers have rarely been subjected to geographical inquiry. Birders are sometimes dismissed as hobbyists bent on compensating for feelings of inadequacy and lack of control in their personal lives. In this article, utilizing textual references as well as experiences from my own participant-observer status as geographer-cum-birder and bird-tour leader, I construct a geographically oriented approach to understanding the fascinations of bird-watching. I detail ethnographically the annual Christmas Bird Count and a bird walk in the Honduran rain forest. Then, drawing from the nest-as-home metaphors of Gaston Bachelard and the "becoming-bird" relationships suggested by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, I position birding as extraordinarily intimate exploration of place, reinforced by anticipation, repetition, experience of beauty, and the culminating encounter of human self, bird or bird spectacle, and landscape.

The emphasis is on both the origins and consequences of the therapist's contribution. Particular attention is paid to the unconscious nature of enactment, as a phenomenon that can precipitate both a refusal and an actualization of the patient's transference; the former, in this case, leading to further acting out and the latter to malignant regression.

Three states of mind are described: semiconsciousness, consciousness and, following the mystics, the possibility of a consciousness which transcends ordinary ego awareness. Some experiences of three authorities on Christian spirituality - Augustine of Hippo, Evagrius of Pontus and Teresa of Avila - are explored in the light of psychoanalytic reflections provided by Erikson, Jung, and Winnicott.

[source] Prolegomenon to a history of paleoanthropology: The study of human origins as a scientific enterprise.EVOLUTIONARY ANTHROPOLOGY, Issue 5 2004Part 1. Interest in the history of paleoanthropology and the other disciplines related to human origins studies has grown considerably over the last several decades. Some very informative historical surveys have been written by prominent scientists reflecting on the major developments in their fields. Some well-known early examples include Glyn Daniel's The Idea of Prehistory (1962) and The Origins and Growth of Archaeology (1967), which focus primarily on the history of archaeology, Kenneth Oakley's "The problem of man's antiquity: an historical survey" published in the Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History) [Geology] (1964), and L. S. B. Leakey's Unveiling Man's Origins; Ten Decades of Thought about Human Evolution (1969), with the latter two focusing on the contributions of geology, paleontology, and biology to the problem of human evolution. [source] Englishness and the Union in Contemporary Conservative ThoughtGOVERNMENT AND OPPOSITION, Issue 4 2009Richard English This article analyses the importance of arguments developed since 1997 by influential right-wing commentators concerning Englishness and the United Kingdom. Drawing on historical, cultural and political themes, public intellectuals and commentators of the right have variously addressed the constitutional structure of the UK, the politics of devolved government in Wales and Scotland, and the emergence of a more salient contemporary English sensibility. This article offers case studies of the arguments of Simon Heffer, Peter Hitchens and Roger Scruton, all of whom have made controversial high-profile interventions on questions of national identity, culture and history. Drawing on original interviews with these as well as other key figures, the article addresses three central questions. First, what are the detailed arguments offered by Heffer, Hitchens and Scruton in relation to Englishness and the UK? Second, what does detailed consideration of these arguments reveal about the evolution of the politics of contemporary conservatism in relation to the Union? And, third, what kinds of opportunity currently exist for intellectuals and commentators on the fringes of mainstream politics to influence the terms of debate on these issues? [source] Recent Work in Seventeenth-Century Economic ThoughtHISTORY COMPASS (ELECTRONIC), Issue 1 2006Brian Weiser During the Stuart era, theorists, merchants, government officials, and everyday Englishmen and women tried to understand the rapid shifts in their economy. Such inquiry changed perceptions of how the economy worked. This article explores recent scholarship on economic thought in the Stuart era. It begins with Joyce Appleby's seminal book which sees economic events as the prime mover behind shifts in economic theory, and then considers Andrea Finkelstein's recent assertions that scientific and medical discoveries strongly influenced economic thinkers like William Petty and Thomas Mun. The article then examines a series of works that analyze the impact of politics on economic thought, how economic thought inspired literature, the interplay of economic thought and religion, and how those who were not economic literati viewed the economy. [source] Pious Frauds: ,Honest Tricks' and the Patterns of Anglican Devotional Thought in RichardsonJOURNAL FOR EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY STUDIES, Issue 3 2009BONNIE LATIMER Abstract This essay identifies a series of apparent deceptions by two of Richardson's iconic moral paragons, Clarissa Harlowe and Sir Charles Grandison. It uses early modern Anglican thought to argue that such deceptions are best seen as ,lies', but also that the same body of theology allows for ,lying' in certain cases. Drawing on a range of Anglican thought from this period, it identifies in this literature a fascination with using ,indirect means' to bring about the ends of virtue, and concludes that Richardson picks up on this intellectual thread in his staging of morally complex fictional scenarios.

[source] Blood Pressure and Brain Injury in Older Adults: Findings from a Community-Based Autopsy StudyJOURNAL OF AMERICAN GERIATRICS SOCIETY, Issue 11 2009Lucy Y. Wang MD OBJECTIVES: To examine correlations between blood pressure (BP) and dementia-related pathological brain changes in a community-based autopsy sample. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: A large health maintenance organization in Seattle, Washington. PARTICIPANTS: A cohort of 250 participants aged 65 and older and cognitively normal at time of enrollment in the Adult Changes in Thought (ACT) Study and who underwent autopsy. MEASUREMENTS: BP and history of antihypertensive treatment were taken at enrollment. A linear regression model was used to examine the relationship between BP (systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP)) at enrollment and pathological changes in the cerebrum (cystic macroscopic infarcts, microinfarcts, neuritic plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and cortical Lewy bodies). RESULTS: The presence of more than 2 microinfarcts, but not any other pathological change, was independently associated with SBP in younger participants (65,80, n=137) but not in older participants (>80, n=91). The relative risk (RR) for more than two microinfarcts with each 10-mmHg increase in SBP was 1.15 (95% confidence interval (CI)=1.00,1.33) in the younger participants, adjusted for age at entry, sex, and time to death. This RR was particularly strong in younger participants not taking antihypertensive medications (RR=1.48, 95% CI=1.21, 1.81); significant associations were not observed in participants treated for hypertension. Findings for DBP were negative. CONCLUSION: The association between high SBP and cerebrovascular damage in untreated older adults (65,80) suggests that adequate hypertension treatment may reduce dementia risk by minimizing microvascular injury to cerebrum.
