The phenomenology of religious life: Nietzsche and Bergson

In this paper I identify and discuss some themes in the thought of Nietzsche and Bergson respectively as these bear upon the wider project to which the paper contributes – the articulation of a philosophical naturalism which offers a non-reductive account of the origin and nature of religion on the basis that the real is 'religious' in essence. Implicitly, an alternative is thereby proposed to the approaches and presuppositions of the 'theological turn' perspective within contemporary 'continental philosophy of religion'.

Material properties, geometry and their effect on the fatigue life of two flip-chip models

This paper describes how modeling technology has been used in providing fatigue life time data of two flip-chip models. Full-scale three-dimensional modeling of flip-chips under cyclic thermal loading has been combined with solder joint stand-off height prediction to analyze the stress and strain conditions in the two models. The Coffin-Manson empirical relationship is employed to predict the fatigue life times of the solder interconnects. In order to help designers in selecting the underfill material and the printed circuit board, the Young's modulus and the coefficient of thermal expansion of the underfill, as well as the thickness of the printed circuit boards are treated as variable parameters. Fatigue life times are therefore calculated over a range of these material and geometry parameters. In this paper we will also describe how the use of micro-via technology may affect fatigue life

South East London Palliative and End of Life Care Education and Training Strategy: Meeting the Education and Training Needs of the Health & Social Care Workforce Involved in the Care of Patients and Carers at the End of Life.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Aims 1. The aims of this strategy are • to ensure that a full range of education and training related to the adult end of life care pathway is available across South East London to meet the needs of our health and social care workforce • to enable those responsible for end of life care education and training commissioning to procure comprehensively from a full range of education providers in a systematic and strategic manner. Background 2. The work that underpins this strategy was begun by the South East London Cancer Network via its Palliative and End of Life Care Coordinating Group and then developed by way of the Marie Curie Delivering Choice Programme’s Education and Training work stream.
