Individualism and Collectivism

Gesta, 2021

Were Byzantine writings about the intermingling of human and angelic voices within ecclesiastical settings merely reflections of mystical theology, or were they actual observations about the movement of sound? Focusing on Thessaloniki, we consider how Byzantine writers described the voices of angels, how certain chants in the divine services animated the voices of celestial beings, and how and where painters represented angels, particularly within the city's monastic churches. We then turn to the study of the acoustical property of reverberation in eight Byzantine churches in the city in order to investigate whether undefined voices heard by subjective listening could be documented by objective, scientific testing.

Sociolinguistic stratification-the fact that language diversity is turned into inequality through processes of normative judgment-has been central in the development of modern sociolinguistics and has kept researchers' attention for many decades. The online-offline nexus in which we have learned to live and organize our social lives in online as well as offline spaces, each carrying different normative standards, has become a lab for manifest sociolinguistic restratification. An analysis of Donald Trump's orthographic errors on Twitter, and how such errors went viral, shows how multiple audiences apply very different indexical vectors to the errors, each of them iconicizing a more general set of perceived social and political divisions. The outcome is a complex, polycentric sociolinguistic system, far less stable than that imagined in earlier sociolinguistics. This system requires renewed attention.

Human beings are gifted with speech. Speech is the vehicle, the carrier of the logos, the order, the reason, the intelligibility of the cosmos. This article reveals humans as microcosm reflecting logos, spirit, and Fullness/Emptiness. It shows that these dimensions are empirically grounded and how they lead to the moral demand for democratic world law under an Earth Constitution.

In video or an image, object detection and tracking is most popular now a days and use for motion detection of various object. Identify objects in the video sequence and cluster pixels of these object is the first step in object detection. Object classification is the next important step to track the object. The object tracking can be applied in most of the fields that include computerized video surveillance, robotic vision, traffic monitoring, gesture identification, human-computer interaction, military surveillance system, vehicle navigation, medical imaging, biomedical image analysis and many more. The objective of this paper is to present the various steps included in tracking objects in a video sequence, namely object detection, object classification and object tracking. This paper presents various object detection and tracking methods and also the comparison of various techniques used for different stages of tracking.

Vox, au moyen âge comme en latin classique, est le nom de ce que nous appelons aujourd'hui « note », c'est-à-dire d'une hauteur musicale. C'est à Virgile qu'est due, semble-t-il, la fameuse expression septem discrimina vocum, « sept différences des notes » 1 , citée mille fois au moyen âge et qui fait référence, bien entendu, aux sept notes de l'octave diatonique. Cicéron écrit notamment : acutarum graviumque vocum judicium ipsa natura in auribus nostris collocavit, « la nature elle-même a inscrit dans nos oreilles la faculté d'apprécier les sons (vocum) aigus et graves » 2 . Après Boèce, néanmoins, cette acception tend à s'estomper durant quatre ou cinq siècles, notamment parce que la notion du système musical, de l'échelle générale des sons, a disparu de l'appareil théorique du haut moyen âge 3 .

The article publishes an ostracon with a two-line graffito found during the excavations of the Myrmekion settlement, dating from the II-I centuries BCE. The inscription on the shard Φιλίσκος ὁ μάχι|μος, which is most likely a private one (marking?), can be interpreted in two ways. In the first case, ὁ μάχιμος is interpreted in the broad meaning of 'warrior, fighter', representing a playful nickname of Philiskos, in the second – in a highly specialized one, used as a designation for foreign mercenaries in the Egyptian army of the Ptolemaic era. The involvement of documents fixing the presence of immigrants from the Bosporus in the Ptolemaic army allows us to consider the second reading option as quite possible. The graffito in question gives an occasion to turn once again to the interpretation of the lines 1-2 of CIRB 450 proposed by the author: Δολης ὁ [[Ἡ]]γοῦμεν|oς, which was seriously criticized by V.P. Yailenko. The analysis of the argument of an opponent reveals its inconsistency, and allows you to draw an interesting parallel between Δολης ὁ [[Ἡ]]γοῦμενος and Φιλίσκος ὁ μάχιμος in the first understanding of the graffito.

Esta dissertação tem por finalidade estabelecer um diálogo sobre a formação do corpo político das lésbicas, dinamizado e processado historicamente. E, nessa mistura das cores, como apontou Safo, nesse caleidoscópio em forma de arco-íris é gerada uma construção histórica, na qual se constitui uma narrativa. Nesse processo, surgem novas formas, como assim indica Foucault, em um jogo político e o pensar como sujeito. Vale afirmar também que da era clássica à contemporânea verifica-se a grande contribuição que, significativamente, fornece subsídios para o reconhecimento da diversidade das identidades, incluindo a sexualidade. Deduz-se que, decerto, o conceito de identidade problematizado conduz a uma compreensão da formação do corpo político das lésbicas e os elementos envolvidos. O marco teórico abordado nesta dissertação está centrado nas poesias de Safo, bem como em pensadores e filósofos. Por fim, a fluidez no agir desse corpo político possibilita certa originalidade a este. Assim, a sexualidade é colocada sob novos modos criativos, isso em certo sentido quer dizer que não se descobre o lesbianismo, pois este existe pela vontade e é inseparável do que se é.
