La musique, en particulier celle de l'aulos, dans le sacrifice en Grèce antique.

La musique est étroitement liée à la pratique liturgique des Grecs de l’Antiquité. Un scrupuleux examen des sources confirme l’omniprésence de l’aulos au sein du sacrifice sanglant, un fait qui semble ne pas s’accorder avec certains propos anciens dépréciateurs de l’instrument. Grâce aux sources textuelles et surtout iconographiques, on constate que l’importance attribuée au rôle de la musique, et plus spécialement de l’aulos, dans le sacrifice varie d’une étape rituelle à l’autre. Certaines actions cérémonielles, comme la procession, s’accomplissent au son de la musique, alors que d’autres, comme l’immolation, semblent en être dépourvues. Puis, en observant quelques représentations de sacrifices humains, on remarque que la musique est abordée différemment en fonction du contexte et de la nature du rituel sacrificiel dans lequel elle s’insère. Ainsi, la façon dont on traite la musique dans les sources peut fournir des indices quant aux principes idéologiques relatifs aux différents rituels.

Sacrifice and efficiency of the income tax schedule

We investigate the efficiency of equal sacrifice tax schedules in an economy which primitives are exactly those in Mirrlees (1971): a continuum of individuals with identical preferences defined over consumption and leisure who differ with respect to their labor market productivity. Using a separable specification for preferences we derive the minimum equal sacrifice allocation and recover the tax schedule that implements it. The separable specification allows us to use the methodology developed by Werning (2007b) to check whether the schedule is efficient, that is, whether there is no alternative tax schedule that raises more revenue while delivering less utility to no one. We find that inefficiency does not arise for most parametrizations we use to approximate the US economy. For the few cases for which inefficiency does arise, it does so only for very high levels of income and marginal tax rates.

On the efficiency of equal sacrifice income tax schedules

In an economy which primitives are exactly those in Mirrlees (1971), we investigate the efficiency of labor income tax schedules derived under the equal sacrifice principle. Starting from a given government revenue level, we use Werning’s (2007b) approach to assess whether there is an alternative tax schedule to the one derived under the equal sacrifice principle that raises more revenue while delivering less utility to no one. For our preferred parametrizations of the problem we find that inefficiency only arises at very high levels of income. We also show how the multipliers of the Pareto problem may be extracted from the data and used to find the implicit marginal social weights associated with each level of income.

Estimating Multiple Tumor Transition Rates Based on Data from Survival/Sacrifice Experiments

In this paper, we focus on the model for two types of tumors. Tumor development can be described by four types of death rates and four tumor transition rates. We present a general semi-parametric model to estimate the tumor transition rates based on data from survival/sacrifice experiments. In the model, we make a proportional assumption of tumor transition rates on a common parametric function but no assumption of the death rates from any states. We derived the likelihood function of the data observed in such an experiment, and an EM algorithm that simplified estimating procedures. This article extends work on semi-parametric models for one type of tumor (see Portier and Dinse and Dinse) to two types of tumors.

Sea lions, sacrifice, and ritual : The symbolism of Moche Island imagery

The Mochica, or Moche (c. 100-800 AD) culture, flourished along the northern Peruvian coast. The Moche did not have a formal written language; as such, contemporary scholars base their analysis on Moche iconography and archaeological burial remains. Especially renown for their ceramic artistry, Moche vessels exhibit a wide range of subject matter, including animal and enigmatic figural representations that evoke terrestrial, marine and possibly, spiritual realms. While research has focused on political organization and the interrelationship between sacrifice and warfare, many marine themes have not been fully explored in the discourse. An exploration of sea lion imagery and sacrifice themes suggests that the marine mammals were ritually hunted. A careful iconographic analysis of island scenes demonstrates ritual and gender affiliations held by the Moche about sea lions. In a multi-disciplinary approach, scientific, archaeological and ethnographic resources substantiate this claim.
