The Ideal

Oil & protein ideotypes might be “ideal” in terms of agronomy, they cannot be grown if they do not meet a demand. And while plant breeding takes years to develop new varieties, consumers can change their habits very quickly. Understand the “ideal” crops from the downstream point of view is therefore of paramount importance for R&D. In this review, we look at the current and what may be the future demands for the oil and protein crops. Because of diversity of products and consumers around the world, we chose to focus on French and Western Europe productions and markets: 1) consumers are in a quest for quality, traceability and sustainability (economic, social and environmental) with specific focus on GMO-free and organic demands. Some go vegan and more and more people switch from animal to vegetal protein intakes. And they want to rethink the agriculture model. 2) The food industry must adapt to all these demands while develop solutions for technological obstacles and remain cost-competitive. 3) The farmer needs crop profitability that relies on high and steady yields, eco-friendly and cost-competitive crop management techniques and decent price.

The Ideal

The Zionists were fully aware that the ideal that they propagated in relation to the creation of a political home for the whole Jewish nation could not be implemented overnight. Therefore, the concern about the socio-economic situation of the Jewish community was one of the main issues of Zionist activity in the Diaspora. The consequences of the world Depression of the 1930s, domineering nationalistic ideology, a big wave of anti-Semitism in Western Europe aroused strong public emotions in Lithuania, which manifested themselves mainly in the struggle for the ‘neglected’ economic positions in the country. This article attempts to reveal how the economic rivalry between the Lithuanians and the Jews was seen and presented in the Zionist press, most widespread and widely read by people of various political viewpoints in the 1930s. The information contained in the Zionist press throws light on the formation of the attitude towards the national economic programme conducted by Lithuanian authorities, placing emphasis on the importance of export and import, the qualification examination of artisans, the law on holidays and rest days, etc. Attention is also paid to the propaganda of the Association of Lithuanian Merchants, Manufacturers and Artisans (established in 1930), and the specifics of their rhetoric. The press response to professional competition, narrowing the spheres of the engagement of Jews and the propaganda of hatred towards the Jewish nation are also dealt with.

As Michael Foucault had said that the human body is not really free; the concept of the body as well as the concept of the human sexuality in fact are ruled by and obey the great power behind them. A great narrative about the body and also the sexuality that has been agreed by societies, consciously or unconsciously has successfully dictated societies’ point of view in placing their body and sexuality. The concept of a male body that has been characterized by its perfunctory appearance, in the sense of not necessary to primp, actually is a great narrative that is considered as a true necessity. This topic is unique and interesting to study because Mister International pageant as the representation of world’s male masculinity offers the different great narrative masculinity concept that has been shackling the traditional masculinity concept of Indonesian society. This study will analyze the signs of masculinity shown in Mister International pageant as the ideal men’s quest in the world. The result of this study indicates that the ideal male masculinity constructed in Mister International pageant if viewed from the concept of traditional sexuality is a combination between the concept of femininity and the concept of masculinity that then brought out to a new terminology about the concept of masculinity called as metrosexual. The concept of masculinity constructed by this ideal men’s quest in the world, if examined by Herbert Marcuse’s point of view, actually is a concept uniformity of the world's ideal male body in one dimension. Furthermore, the great narrative behind this uniformed ideal male construction is a world’s major capitalists’ project to expand their market share, especially male cosmetics and clothes products.Keywords: Construction, Masculinity, Ideal Male Body, One-Dimensional Man.

The Ideal

The humanist educational project to educate the elite of Western Europe produced as one of its dizzy successes the application of conversation to the speech and behavior of nobleman at court. This, the development of the ideal of the courtier, took conversation from the leisurely retreat from the ancient political world to the courtly heart of the Renaissance political world. The salons of seventeenth-century France further transformed the conversational tradition of the court: in principle, the conversation of the salons began quietly to set itself to rival the world of oratory, to address itself to the same worldly subject matter. The Republic of Letters provided an alternate social matrix for sermo, scholarly rather than courtly—and one which migrated away from its Ciceronian roots towards the mode of Baylean critique. Where the courtly and scholarly traditions of sermo acted as complementary modes during the Renaissance, the increasing scope of salonnier conversation and the increasing abandonment of sermo by the Republic of Letters set them at odds with one another in the opening of the Enlightenment. Both now harbored universalizing ambitions, which would set these sibling modes to fierce conflict.

The author analyzes the issue raised in the title in a phylosophical context from the ontological point of view, which is a branch of phylosophy. As it is known, ontology is „the science of existence”, in other words, a science on the nature of every existing thing.The argumentations indicated by the title do not include „everything”, only those problems which are the most important in the author’s opinion. These are as follows:a) the aim of globalization, to which we refer to here as „hoped-for globalization”,b) the evaluation of the world in which we live,c) the reasons for the birth of the functioning world,d) the activities leading the world to the direction of the hoped-for globalization.The author is aware of his position’s deficiencies, but thinks that the importance of the topic makes it neccessary to create the ideal future’s vision through discussion.

Purpose. Reconstruction of Empedocles’ doctrine from the point of view of philosophical anthropology. Theoretical basis. Methodological basis of the article is the anthropological comprehending of Empedocles’ text fragments presented in the historical-philosophical context. Originality. Cognition of nature in Ancient Greece was far from the ideal of the objective knowledge formed in modern times, cognition of the world as it exists before man and independently of him. Whatever the ancient philosophers talked about, man was always in the center of their attention. I proposed an anthropological version of the interpretation of the doctrine of Empedocles, within the framework of which various elements of his concept fit into a consistent model. Conclusions. Empedocles’ anthropology is based on the recognition of several fundamental things. First of all, there is no death. Second, there is no fundamental difference between human and celestial. This line is conventional and under certain conditions one can overcome it. Cod can become a human (for example, for a deed unworthy of a deity), and a human can become God. Teaching of evolution is also double. Not only physical shell evolves, keeping only the most adapted species, but the soul too. The latter can both ascend to the gods and go down to the bushes and fish. Purification of the soul and mastering the magic of the elements gives an impetus for a correct direction of evolution. Empedocles is an anthropologist-practitioner, who shows by his example that a human can cope with all the elements and reach divinity. He chose (or convinced himself that he chose) the elemental ingredients for penetrating the Fortunate Isles, leaving the instructions on how to become God.

The present work aims to investigate the world of Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs), exploring in depth the implications related to the sustainability of the listing process in the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) Italia market in order to assess, adopting a critical approach, whether the path of listing could be the ideal choice to support a significant growth of these realities. An empirical survey is therefore presented in order to evaluate the sustainability of the listing process from both an economic- financial and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) point of view. The conclusions reached highlight how the listing process hides pitfalls in terms of economic and financial performance; while the commitment to ESG factors seems rewarding both in terms of share price trends and debt cost.

Abstract Among the several transition metals used for the synthesis of polymers by Ziegler-Natta catalysts very little attention has been devoted to uranium, notwithstanding the undoubted interest that this metal offers from both the scientific and economical point of view. In fact, uranium gives the organo-metallic and the polymer chemist wide possibilities of synthesis, owing to its manifold coordination possibilities. From the economical point of view, uranium is already a cheap material, as a byproduct of nuclear fuel cycles, and one can easily foresee that, as happened in the past for coal and crude oil, uranium will have a future as a raw material in addition to its use as an energy source. The large potential supply of depleted uranium from the existing gaseous diffusion plants in the world and a forecast of this supply in western Europe from 1975 to 1985 is reported in Table I. This forecast is likely to be underestimated as it was made before the present worldwide energy crisis.

Background: Makhana or gorgon nut has popular and nutrition rich pop across India and many parts of the world. In the light of the recent makhana food production, there is now considerable concern about the crop management, processing and marketing of makhana pop. Due to Covid-19 spread, many agriculture sectors in India as well as in the World were badly affected because of restriction of movement of workers, changes in demand of consumers and restricted food trade policies and financial instability. Hence, the objective of this present experiment was to assess elaborately about impacts of Covid-19 spread on the production and marketing system of makhana. Methods: Crop management system was monitored and problems were detected by field visits and taking observations. The sample size was greater than 10 at each location for market analysis. Multistage random sampling at each stage and ‘Conventional method’ were adopted for per cent loss and gain. Result: According to August-2020 survey, Covid-19 spread and subsequent lock-down situation in India might reduce the total makhana production due to less labor involvement in the production process and would have adverse effect in the marketing system as well as on the export balance in the international market. Accordingly, a case study was also performed from the farmer field of Manigachhi, Darbhanga, Bihar, where crop losses occur from leaf blight due to improper crop management during lock-down situations and they farmers felt an existing weak marketing system. However, during the second survey in November (2020), it was evident that makhana industry got an sudden and impulsive change, due to increase in mass awareness about makhana as a nutrition dense medicinal food and immune booster. Early negative impact of Covid-19 was redressed and finally the makhana food industry became profitable on account of having medicinal and pharmaceutical value.

Edwin Abbott’s Flatland dramatizes the implications of dethroning what Victorians regarded as the preeminent representational system: Euclidean geometry. The displacement of the singular Euclidean account of space with a multiplicity of non-referential spatial regimes did more than introduce the possibility of varying perspectives on the world; the challenge to the “sacredness” of Euclid met with resistance partly because it suggested the ideal of a transparent representational system was inherently untenable. Flatland explores the repercussions of this problem for the novel, shifting emphasis from the revelation of the content of character to focus on the vagaries of point of view. The characters are Euclidean figures shown the limitations of their constructions of the world, and epistemic certainty is unavailable because all representational systems are contingent. Abbott finds consolation for this loss of certainty in the formalist, aesthetic character of projective geometry, insisting on the beauty of signs in and of themselves.
