El presente artículo analiza las importantes aportaciones de Adam Smith a la teoría del lenguaje. Identifica dos niveles argumentativos coordinados, el primero procedente de la lógica del análisis y la síntesis y el segundo procedente de una interpretación del lenguaje como una herramienta de adaptación y transformación social del entorno natural. Esto permite identificar una “hipótesis del desarrollo” del lenguaje, que evoluciona desde lo homogéneo desarticulado hasta lo heterogéneo articulado. A partir de aquí, se define la especificidad de la teoría del lenguaje de Smith entre los siglos XVIII y XIX, así como sus consecuencias estéticas y educativas. This article analyzes the important contributions of Adam Smith to the theory of language. It identifies two coordinated argumentative levels, the first coming from the logic of analysis and synthesis and the second coming from an interpretation of language as a tool for adaptation and social transformation of the natural environment. This allows identifying a language’s “development hypothesis”, which evolves from the disjointed homogeneous to the articulated heterogeneous. From here is defined the specificity of Smith’s theory of language, between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as well as its aesthetic and educational consequences.

Theory Of Language

Laura (Riding) Jackson's early collaborations with Robert Graves are well known, as is her renunciation of poetry to embark on a lifelong linguistic project with her second husband, Schuyler B. Jackson. The centrality of collaboration to her theory of language has not, however, been properly expounded. In the later work, especially, she puts forward a notion of intense collective effort in which personalities are to be changed through labour on words and meaning. Collaboration is both the means and the ends of an improved understanding of language and its potential. Critics and biographers have pointed to the ways in which her collaborations tended to involve conflicts of authority, and she is often charged with a desire to dominate. Focusing too much on personality, however, misses the more fundamental contradictions of her work. This paper argues that (Riding) Jackson's gendered notion of ‘co-operative hostility’ offers a sharp critique of masculine domination, cultural capital, and appropriation, as well as a speculative notion of social transformation based on mutual exploration and use. These elements of her work run into conflict, however, with her explicit and absolute commitment to private property.

The aim: To investigate the legal basis for natural environmental protection as an integral environmental health component. Materials and methods: In this work we study statutory regulations and scientific positions of scholars regarding above-mentioned issue. The study analyses generalized information from scientific journals by means of scientific methods from a medical and legal perspectives. This article is based on dialectical, comparative, analytic, synthetic and comprehensive research methods. Applying systematic approach, as well as analysis and synthesis, we investigated legal regulation for proper condition of natural environment as an integral environmental health component Conclusions: Maintaining proper condition of natural environment is one of the main tasks of each individual at many levels - international, national and personal. This would allow to accommodate proper human activity. It is implemented through a comprehensive approach to recognize the value of natural environment in the development and improvement of human health. In said processes it is important to define the indicators that allow us to monitor the state of the natural environment and its changes in both positive and negative directions. Defining them at the regulatory level allows for laying down benchmarks that help in ranking those changes in the study

Analysis And Synthesis

The process of social transformation taking place in the world and in Russia, expressed in education reform programs, is changing the role of educational organizations in society and the economy and, probably, in culture as a whole. New players on the educational services market that has emerged in Russia (international IT corporations, etc.) in many ways initiate these changes or have a great impact on the structural and substantive restructuring of Russian higher education. The purpose of the article is to investigate what is happening with Russian higher education, the preconditions and trends of transformation of the domestic model of education are analyzed. Within the framework of the goal, the task to explore the components of this transformation is solved: digitalization and personalization (individualization) of the learning process. The source of the study was strategic documents on the development of national education and the practice of their implementation in individual educational institutions. Research methods – theoretical analysis and synthesis. The results of the research are set out below: the problems of educational institutions that arise in the implementation of the «request» for the personalization of education have been identified; some conceptual gaps in strategic documents are identified that make it difficult for performers to comprehend the goals of digitalization of education; some organizational reasons are indicated for which the implementation of the concept of individualization (personalization) of education for students in practice is difficult.

Based on the analysis and synthesis of inter-component and inter-landscape correlation, considering deep roots of pericontinental dichotomy, orographic, climatic, and phyto-vegetative factors, the nature is reflected as an average-scale model of Sakhalin Oblast. It includes individual landscapes, types, kinds, subclasses, classes, districts, provinces and territories. The regional landscape differentiation and organization of the natural environment was mapped at the scale of 1: 500,000. The obtained data can be used for a multistage analysis of correlations among landscape geosystems different in scale (global, regional, local) and structure. On the whole, the organized system is a basic model aimed at various natural interrelations in the Sakhalin Oblast in Pacific pericontinental landscape belt. Application of this kind of geosystem model through the landscape method and on condition of continuing geosystem studies is of great potential for solving of numerous various tasks, including nature use, environmental, management, forecasting etc.

John Playfair (1748–1819), professor of mathematics and natural philosophy at the University of Edinburgh, is a relatively obscure figure today, best known as the popularizer of James Hutton's theory of geology. However, Playfair was also involved in mathematics for most of his active career, with his most widely distributed publication, Elements of Geometry (1795), shaping the mathematics education for at least thirteen thousand British students during the nineteenth century. This study focuses on the mathematical context surrounding Elements of Geometry. Specifically, after recounting the background of the text, the paper explores the ways in which Playfair's presentation of elementary geometry reflected three understandings of the terms ‘analysis’ and ‘synthesis’, which were intrinsic components of mathematical culture at the turn of the nineteenth century. In one sense, the words denoted differing styles of mathematical practice in Great Britain and in France. In a second sense, the terms evoked contemporary appeals to ancient methods of proof. Finally, ‘analysis’ and ‘synthesis’ were understood in reference to separate approaches to mathematics education. Playfair's appeals to these understandings help reveal how he viewed himself as a mathematician. Overall, then, this study enriches the standard portrait of a professor who straddled the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

The Right

Introduction: The right to health is one of the most important human rights and its proper exercising allows for the exercise of other rights. One of the guarantees of this right is the safe natural environment, which, on the one hand, allows to maintain the health at the proper level without worsening it, and, on the other hand, to improve and prevent negative consequences concerning it. The proper state of the natural environment is reflected through the relevant qualitative characteristics of each of the natural resources that are included in it, and in aggregate, reflected in the corresponding natural interactions between them. The aim: The study is aimed at inquiring into the right to health and importance of the safe natural environment in order to provide it. Materials and methods: Statutory regulation and scientific positions of scholars in the field of the above-mentioned issue are studied in this article. The study analyzes generalized information from scientific journals by means of scientific methods from a medical and legal point of view. This article is based on dialectical, comparative, analytic, synthetic and comprehensive research methods. Within the framework of the systematic approach, as well as analysis and synthesis, the concept of the right to health and its place in the provision of the safe natural environment is researched. Review: The right to health is regarded as a person’s awareness of the existence of appropriate ways, means and conditions that enable them to take care of their physical and psychological state by carrying out appropriate actions or refraining from doing so, thereby preventing or eliminating negative consequences that may threaten or do threaten their proper state of health. Along with others, the safe natural environment is a prerequisite that allows their full enjoyment of the right to health. Conclusions: The guarantee of the right to health must be based on an integrated approach in understanding the nature of the factors, their interconnection and impact on each other in providing it. The safe natural environment is a prime element when implementing the outlined opportunity. Failure to comply with its proper condition, both directly and indirectly, affects its other components while implementing it. The level of its safety is determined by the proper qualitative state of natural resources, their interconnection and impact on human health. Ensuring the safety of the natural environment, both directly and indirectly, means creating requisite conditions for exercising the right to health.

Distribution Of Resources

AbstractAnselme & Güntürkün generate exciting new insights by integrating two disparate fields to explain why uncertain rewards produce strong motivational effects. Their conclusions are developed in a framework that assumes a random distribution of resources, uncommon in the natural environment. We argue that, by considering a realistically clumped spatiotemporal distribution of resources, their conclusions will be stronger and more complete.

AbstractAs a general theory of extreme self-sacrifice, Whitehouse's article misses one relevant dimension: people's willingness to fight and die in support of entities not bound by biological markers or ancestral kinship (allyship). We discuss research on moral expansiveness, which highlights individuals’ capacity to self-sacrifice for targets that lie outside traditional in-group markers, including racial out-groups, animals, and the natural environment.

The phenomenon of bioluminescence has fascinated layman and scientist alike for many centuries. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries a number of observations were reported on the physiology of bioluminescence in Renilla, the common sea pansy. More recently biochemists have directed their attention to the molecular basis of luminosity in this colonial form. These studies have centered primarily on defining the chemical basis for bioluminescence and its control. It is now established that bioluminescence in Renilla arises due to the luciferase-catalyzed oxidation of luciferin. This results in the creation of a product (oxyluciferin) in an electronic excited state. The transition of oxyluciferin from its excited state to the ground state leads to light emission.
