The Sublime is What Forces Us to Think. How the Kantian sublime informs the genesis of thought in Deleuze
Although Deleuze has written a whole volume on Kant, in the present essay I am paying close attention to a short and concentrated article of his on Kant’s third Critique entitled, The Idea of Genesis in Kant’s Aesthetic, because in it Deleuze highlights how the sublime experience is conducive to the aesthetic ought in Kant’s architectonic system, and how the sublime experience is necessary to engender artistic creativity. I argue, that although Deleuze rejects Kant’s thesis that there should be universal rules which determine thinking, he does take up Kant’s ideas of there being various mental faculties or capacities, which need to work together to produce all forms of thought and creative output. The possible disharmony of the distinct faculties, the violence that one might commit over the other, as happens in Kant’s sublime experience, becomes the violence in Deleuze’s philosophy which engenders creativity and, ultimately, forces one to think.Although Deleuze has written a whole volume on Kant, in the present essay I am paying close attention to a short and concentrated article of his on Kant’s third Critique entitled, The Idea of Genesis in Kant’s Aesthetic, because in it Deleuze highlights how the sublime experience is conducive to the aesthetic ought in Kant’s architectonic system, and how the sublime experience is necessary to engender artistic creativity.

Medieval Female Mysticism and Weber's Charismatic Authority. The Case of Angela of Foligno
Jelen disszertáciĂłnak a cĂ©lja nem volt más, mint a közĂ©pkori nĹ‘i misztikának, azon belĂĽl is FolignĂłi AngĂ©la misztikájának, mint Max Weberi Ă©rtelemben vett karizmatikus uralomkĂ©nt törtĂ©nĹ‘ bemutatása. Ezáltal pedig egy Ăşj társadalomtudományi megközelĂtĂ©s bevezetĂ©se az Ă©rtelmezĂ©si lehetĹ‘sĂ©gek egyre szĂ©lesedĹ‘ spektrumába.
(1) Ami a dolgozat jelentĹ‘sĂ©gĂ©t illeti, bebizonyosodott, hogy a közĂ©pkori nĹ‘i misztika tĂ©ma a kortárs társadalomtudományban, Ă©s Ăgy FolignĂłi AngĂ©la alakja is. Továbbá tĂ©ma a weberi karizma-tan is, amely a disszertáciĂł mĂłdszertani terĂĽletĂ©t fedte le. Ennek bizonyĂtására kĂĽlönbözĹ‘ forrásokat alkalmaztam a kutatás során, nevezetesen törtĂ©nelmi, feminista Ă©s Weber Ă©rtelmezĂ©seket, amelyek eddig hangsĂşlyárnyĂ©kban álltak. Az Ăgy eredmĂ©nyĂĽl kapott egyĂ©ni megközelĂtĂ©sem ötvözi a törtĂ©nelmi elemzĂ©st Weber karizmaelmĂ©letĂ©vel, Ă©s amely ezáltal tĂşlnyomĂłrĂ©szt szociolĂłgiai perspektĂvát hoz lĂ©tre. TermĂ©szetesen a tĂ©mában további kutatások indokoltak
Migránsok az idősgondozásban = Migrants in elderly care
A hosszabb idejű idĹ‘sgondozási, ápolási igĂ©nyt a magyar idĹ‘sellátĂłrendszer nem kĂ©pes kezelni. A családokra hárulĂł terhek rendkĂvĂĽl sĂşlyosak, amit láthatatlanul jelenlĂ©vĹ‘ Ă©s a magyarnál olcsĂłbban dolgozĂł migránsok enyhĂtenek. TevĂ©kenysĂ©gĂĽk a formális Ă©s informális gondozás határmezsgyĂ©jĂ©n mozog, a családi, a szakápolĂłi Ă©s a cselĂ©di munka keresztezĹ‘dĂ©sĂ©ben vannak, dominál a családias munkavĂ©gzĂ©s. A feketĂ©n vĂ©gzett munkaviszony legalizálása Ă©s a munkavĂ©gzĹ‘ szakkĂ©pzettsĂ©ge önmagában kevĂ©s hatással van a munkatĂpus befolyásolására, nagyobb szerepet játszanak a szubjektĂv szempontok Ă©s a szereplĹ‘k közötti kapcsolatok minĹ‘sĂ©ge. A migránsok szociális ellátĂłrendszer hiányait helyettesitĹ‘ szerepĂĽk nĂ©lkĂĽlözhetetlen, de mindennrĹ‘l a társadalompolitikai döntĂ©shozĂłknak nincs ismeretĂĽk. Ha Magyarország fogadĂł szerepe megváltozik, az ideirányulĂł idĹ‘sgondozĂłi migráciĂł csökken, Ă©s Magyarország kĂĽldĹ‘ szerepe ugyanakkor felerĹ‘södik ez az idĹ‘sgondozást is Ă©rinti. A nĹ‘k magasabb nyugdĂjkorhatára kĂ©sĹ‘bbi munkaerĹ‘-piaci kilĂ©pĂ©ssel jár, a korábban vĂ©gzett feladatokat sem tudják ellátni. Az idĹ‘sgondozás intĂ©zmĂ©nyrendszerĂ©nek változatlansága robbanásszerűen fogja felszĂnre hozni az addig latensen lĂ©tezĹ‘ kihĂvásokat, a kutatás által feltárt ezen problĂ©mák ismerete elengedhetetlen a megelĹ‘zĂ©shez, de semmikĂ©pp nem adminisztratĂv eszközökkel, a munkaviszony legalizálása nem elĂ©gsĂ©ges a háztartásban dolgozĂł alkalmazottak vĂ©delmĂ©hez Ă©s az informális keretek között zajlĂł munka szabályozásához. | The Hungarian system of services for the elderly is unable to cope with the demand for longer-term care and nursing. Families bear extremely heavy burdens that are eased by the invisible migrants who work for lower pay than Hungarians. Their activity is on the borderline of formal and informal care, at the crossroads of family, trained nursing and domestic servant work and is dominated by family-type work. The legalisation of unregistered employment and the qualifications of the worker in themselves have little influence on the type of work; subjective factors and the quality of the relations among the actors play a bigger role. The migrants play an indispensable role in filling the gaps in the system of social services, but the social policy decision-makers are not aware of this. If Hungary’s receiving role changes, migration to Hungary for eldercare declines and at the same time Hungary’s sending role grows, this will also affect eldercare. The higher retirement age for women means that they leave the labour market later and are unable to perform the tasks they did earlier. If there is no change in the institutional system of eldercare it will suddenly reveal the previously latent challenges. A knowledge of the problems revealed by the research is indispensable for the solution of these challenges, but they cannot be solved by administrative means, the legalisation of employment is not sufficient to protect employees working in households or to regulate work done within informal frames
A Study of Cost comparison of precast concrete vs. Cast-in-Place
The Indian construction system is going to become a modernized, cost efficient and achieving advance technique. The paper based on cost comparison of precast concrete vs. cast-in-place (i.e. traditional) concrete. How total cost of construction by precast concrete system is less than the cost by use of cast-in-place concrete. Cost of any construction is directly varied with time of construction. As we know the Precast is manufactured in factory (i.e. in controlled environment) with required quality, can easily mix, cure with good quantity. Precast concrete is manufactured in factory and transport to site. The strength of precast concrete is achieved in greater extent by using high technology, controlled system. For precast construction less manpower is required, labors are required only to joint precast members. That means indirectly saving cost on labors. In precast concrete construction wastage of materials is negligible as compared with cast-in-place concrete. There is no need of curing on site after erection of members because members are cured in factory for desired days. There for the time (in days) is saving in construction which will reduces the cost of construction. Precast construction increase the quality of work, save time, reduced the cost of construction required for maintenance of work. The cost on shuttering and deshuttering is eliminated by using precast will result into saving total cost of construction. The cost of rework due to improper work, faulty construction method, unskilled labor, material quality, onsite environmental problem can be eliminated by using precast members
Examination of rainfall data for 110 years using spectral and wavelet analysis
The aim of our research was to better understand the spectral characteristics of precipitation variability, because through infiltration, this is the most important source of groundwater recharge. To better understand the periodicity of the rainfalls, we used monthly and annual rainfall data. We examined precipitation time records over a 110-year period from two different cities in the Carpathian Basin, obtained from the Hungarian Meteorological Service. With discrete Fourier-transformation (DFT) and wavelet time series analysis, we defined local cycles and developed a forecast for the Debrecen area.Using DFT, we calculated the time-period distributions (spectra) of monthly and annual rainfall data. Spectra from the annual rainfall data showed 16 dominant periods in Debrecen and 17 in PĂ©cs. At the two stations, the most dominant cycles were 3.6 and 5Â years, respectively; there were several other cycles locally present in the data sets. From the monthly data sets, several other periodic components were calculated locally and countrywide as well.Using wavelet analysis, the time dependence of the cycles was determined in the 110-year data set for two Hungarian cities, Debrecen and PĂ©cs
