Definitive Statement

This article is a series of notes concerned with tracking the social and cultural implications of the digitisation of music. In this piece we explore a number of emerging questions and phenomena with the explicit intention of opening new sets of questions and creating opportunities for further reflections and more detailed empirical case studies. This article, therefore, is not intended as a final word or a definitive statement on the phenomenon of cultural morphing, but rather it represents an attempt to experiment, to develop, and to explore the field of hybridisation and popular cultural change. It is hoped that these exploratory notes will illuminate some of the cultural transformations resulting from the proliferation and appropriation of a wide range of digital music technologies.

The Church

It was not until the fifth Christian century that the Church reached at the council of Chalcedon a definitive statement of its belief concerning the nature of Jesus Christ. This decision was preceded by a long era of controversy, first that in which against the Arians it was affirmed that the Son of God is not a created being but is of the essential nature of God Himself, and secondly that in which there was hammered out the relation between this divine, uncreated nature of the Son of God on one hand and the human nature of the Man Jesus on the other. To this latter question the Chalcedonian formula gave what was for the main body of the Church the nearest approach to an adequate answer, and it reads as follows:‘One and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten, to be acknowledged in two natures, inconfusedly, inconvertibly, indivisibly, inseparably.… ’

Definitive Statement

AbstractThis article uses Ronald Dworkin's argument for the unity of value to explore the redemptive core of modern legal order. Dworkin establishes a formal unity: all legal claims reside within a linked framework of moral justification. However, Jean-Francois Lyotard's concept of the differend exposes a lingering gap. Arguments within a moral universe do inevitably converge, but such unity is only possible due to the formative violence enacted by such orders. Dworkin hopes to provide the definitive statement against moral subjectivity, but in its purest form, he proves precisely the opposite. The lesson to draw from Dworkin's work is that ‘justice’ is ultimately only the means by which political orders categorize and thereby sustain their own formative acts of exclusion under the guise of offering their redemption.

Rule Out

We studied anxiety levels in 68 patients who had been randomized to adjuvant chemotherapy v observation on two Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) protocols. All subjects were women who had undergone total or modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer. Immediately before breast protocol randomization and again 3, 6, and 12 months later, patients completed two self-report measures: the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the SCL-90. There were no consistent trends in anxiety levels over time. At each test point, patients under observation displayed higher anxiety scores than did patients receiving adjuvant therapy, but these differences failed to attain statistical significance. Power calculations indicate that these results rule out the possibility of major differences in anxiety levels among patients randomized to observation v adjuvant therapy, but a larger patient sample is required before a definitive statement can be made about smaller differences.

An examination of longstanding legal struggles between municipalities and newspapers over placement of newspaper vending boxes on public property culminated in a June 1988 Supreme Court decision. But the Cleveland Plain Dealer case was by no means a definitive statement on the free press issue, and the author predicts continuing litigation pitting local governments and newspapers on First Amendment ground.

Considerable Concern

Prices of protein-rich foods increased dramatically in the summer of 1973. This caused considerable concern amongst BSAP members and a meeting of 36 scientists involved in studies of protein or allied aspects of nutrition was convened by the BSAP and held at the NIRD. The objective was to provide a statement of present knowledge on the protein requirements of the dairy cow. The Chairman of the day-long meeting was Dr C. C. Balch. A vigorous and wide-spanning discussion took place and while a definitive statement of quantitative requirements for protein was not produced, in compensation for this the state of the present knowledge on protein was revealed, so that it may be hoped that further studies will be prompted by these findings. This paper and the following one present respectively the minutes and an interpretation of the discussion.

The Subject

Although Arnold J. Toynbee's reputation as a historian does not depend on his Turkic studies, yet they are an integral part of his work as a whole. Early in his career he devoted three books to the subject; and throughout A Study of History —the definitive statement of his historical philosophy—Toynbee gives considerable thought to the significance of the Turks in the Near and Middle East, according to his more general interpretation of history.

Scanning Electron

The anatomy of the hull directly over the embryo was examined by light and electron microscopy in long-term dormant and non-dormant grains of A. contorta. A lipid-containing layer was noted, covering the surface of the inner epidermis of the hull, and examination by scanning electron microscopy showed that although the layer was intact in all dormant grain examined, it was fractured in non-dormant grain. A definitive statement on the function of these cracks is not possible, but they appear to be an anatomical change leading to increased gas permeability of the hull of non-dormant grains.

Definitive Statement

Alexander Wendt's book, Social Theory of International Politics, is published twenty years after Kenneth Waltz's enormously influential Theory of International Politics. The similarity in their titles is no coincidence, since Wendt wants to build on the insights of Waltz's realism and construct an idealist and holist account of international politics (not, note, international relations). In my view, Wendt's book is likely to be as influential as Waltz's. It is a superbly written and sophisticated book, one that has clearly been drafted and redrafted so as to refine the argument and anticipate many of the likely objections. I think that although I can anticipate the objections of both his rationalist and his reflectivist critics. I am also aware that he makes life difficult for them by defining his ground very precisely, and by trying to define the terms of any debate in which he might be engaged. Criticism of the book is not an easy task. The book is likely to become the standard account for those working within the social constructivist literature of International Politics. It is a book that has been eagerly awaited, and it will not disappoint those who have been waiting for Wendt to publish his definitive statement on constructivism.

This article is an updating of the ESP survey written by Professor Peter Strevens for Language Teaching and Linguistics: Abstracts, Vol. 10, No. 3 of July 1977. The account given there of ESP's definitions, antecedents, theoretical bases and methodology has not been rendered obsolete by the passage of six years, and it remains a definitive statement. What is new in the present article refers to output and events since 1977, and also, with a greater or lesser degree of tentativeness, to the development of trends – especially those which may indicate that ESP is moving into a pre-final phase, or which hint at new directions for research and development. This article also owes a considerable debt to other overviews of ESP that have appeared since 1977, and particularly to the work of Pauline C. Robinson (1980), of the University of Reading's Centre for Applied Language Studies.
