Simultaneous determination of delta(33) SV-CDT and delta S-34(V-CDT) using masses 48, 49 and 50 on a continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectrometer

A new, fast, continuous flow technique is described for the simultaneous determination of 633 S and delta(34)S using SO masses 48, 49 and 50. Analysis time is similar to5min/sample with measurement precision and accuracy better than +/-0.3parts per thousand. This technique, which has been set up using IAEA Ag2S standards S-1, S-2 and S-3, allows for the fast determination of mass-dependent or mass-independent fractionation (MIF) effects in sulfide, organic sulfur samples and possibly sulfate. Small sample sizes can be analysed directly, without chemical pre-treatment. Robustness of the technique for natural versus artificial standards was demonstrated by analysis of a Canon Diablo troilite, which gave a delta(33)S of 0.04parts per thousand and a delta(34)S of -0.06parts per thousand compared to the values obtained for S-1 of 0.07parts per thousand and -0.20parts per thousand, respectively. Two pyrite samples from a banded-iron formation from the 3710 Ma Isua Greenstone Belt were analysed using this technique and yielded MIF (Delta(33)S of 2.45 and 3.31parts per thousand) comparable to pyrite previously analysed by secondary ion probe.

A RESSURREIÇÃO CORPÓREA: O DISCURSO IDENTITÁRIO EM PAULO (I CORINTIOS 15: 35-49)

Este trabalho focaliza o discurso da ressurreição corpórea como elemento identitário em Paulo, a partir do texto de 1Coríntios 15:35-49 onde o apóstolo desenvolve e argumenta seu pensamento escatológico acerca desta temática. Nosso objetivo é de entendermos como se desenvolveu esse pensamento e considerar os argumentos dentro dessa nova visão teológica da temática. Metodologicamente faz-se um estudo exegético do texto de 1Corintos 15:35-49 a fim de dialogar com o conceito temático de Dn12:1-3 e com a ideologia cética presente em Corinto. Baseando-se nos principais autores Nickelsburg, Wright e Lehtipuu temos como principais considerações que a ressurreição corpórea em Dn 12:1-3 é universal, coletiva e tida como ato de justiça. Na filosofia cética a ideologia é a do relativo e vazio. E em Paulo ela é individual e atinge o individuo como um todo.

Constructing communism in the Romanian People's Republic. Orthodoxy and state, 1948 - 49

This article analyses the ambiguous and contradictory relationship between the Orthodox Church and the communist regime during the first two years of the Romanian People's Republic. The installation of communism and the process of Stalinisation led to an unprecedented control of the church. The church was actively employed in propaganda and the regime imposed its own people in the hierarchy. On the one hand, Romanian communists followed the Soviet model regarding the place of the church in the communist state while, on the other hand, the church hierarchy adapted to the new political system by creating a theory of 'social apostolate'. Lacking popular support, the communists used the church as an instrument through which they could acquire the political support of the masses. The church thus enjoyed a favoured position in society mainly because the communists employed it in their ideological expansionism and confrontation with the West.

The making of an ideology of the third way:the evolution of christian democracy in Germany (with special reference to 1945-49)

This study investigates the search for the third way in the history of German Christian Democracy. Today, in the United Kingdom, the 'third way' is seen as a new phenomenon, a synthesis of post-war belief in the welfare state and neo-liberal conservatism. Yet it insufficiently acknowledges that the origins of third way thinking, the marriage of social justice with free market economics, of individualism with collective responsibility, are found in the early philosophies of Catholic Social Theory and Protestant Social Ethical Teaching in Germany. This study shows that in the hundred years from the 1840s to the end of the 1940s, there were Catholic and Protestant socio-ethical thinkers and political reformists in Germany who attempted to bridge the philosophical differences between liberalism and socialism, to develop a socio-economic order based on Christian moral values. It will focus on the period 1945-1949, when the CDU was founded as the first interdenominational, Christian party. The study provides the first comprehensive account of the political debates in Christian democratic groups in the Soviet, British, French and American allied occupied zones, also giving equal attention to the contribution from the Protestant wing, alongside the more widely acknowledged role of Catholics in the birth of the CDU. It examines how Christian Democrats envisaged correcting the aberrations of German history, by uniting all social classes and Christian religions in one all-embracing Volkspartei, and transforming party politics from its earlier obsession with sectarian and ideological interests towards a more pragmatic 'third way' programme. The study argues that through the making of its ideology, the CDU modified the nation's understanding of its history, re-interpreted its traditions, and redefined the meaning and perception of established political philosophies. This reveals how the ambiguity of political terminology, and the flexible practice of 'third way' politics, were an invaluable political resource in the CDU's campaign for unity, ideological legitimisation and political power.

Generation of 49-fs pulses directly from distributed Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb:YAG thin-disk oscillator

The concept of distributed Kerr-lens mode-locking and a thin-disk Yb:YAG oscillator based on this concept are presented. The described oscillator directly generates pulses with a duration of 49 fs and spectral width of 33 nm
