Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic human pathogen that colonizes the mucosal surfaces. It is the causative agent of various serious acute and chronic infections. Recent prevalence of infectious diseases caused and expanded by hospital-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (HA-MRSA), community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA) and livestock-acquired methicillin-resistant S. aureus (LA-MRSA). MRSA infections must be more serious problem in near future.

This book advances a new interdisciplinary approach that engages with the concepts of science and literature through the mediation of philosophy (with a focus on the ideas of Gilbert Simondon and Gilles Deleuze). It investigates in innovative ways the multifaceted dimensions of creation, of genesis, considered here in artistic and mathematical terms as "heterogenesis".

Music and the Road Essays on the Interplay of Music and the Popular Culture of the American Road


Free Download Gordon E. Slethaug, "Music and the Road: Essays on the Interplay of Music and the Popular Culture of the American Road"
English | ISBN: 150133526X | 2017 | 280 pages | AZW3 | 1225 KB
Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Paul Simon-these familiar figures have written road music for half a century and continue to remain highly-regarded artists. But there is so much more to say about road music. This book fills a glaring hole in scholarship about the road and music. In a collection of 13 essays, Music and the Road explores the origins of road music in the blues, country-western, and rock ‘n’ roll; the themes of adventure, freedom, mobility, camaraderie, and love, and much more in this music; the mystique and reality of touring as an important part of getting away from home, creating community among performers, and building audiences across the country from the 1930s to the present; and the contribution of music to popular road films such as Bonnie and Clyde, Easy Rider,

Mathematical Knowledge and the Interplay of Practices


Free Download Mathematical Knowledge and the Interplay of Practices By José Ferreirós
2016 | 360 Pages | ISBN: 0691167516 | PDF | 2 MB
This book presents a new approach to the epistemology of mathematics by viewing mathematics as a human activity whose knowledge is intimately linked with practice. Charting an exciting new direction in the philosophy of mathematics, José Ferreirós uses the crucial idea of a continuum to provide an account of the development of mathematical knowledge that reflects the actual experience of doing math and makes sense of the perceived objectivity of mathematical results.Describing a historically oriented, agent-based philosophy of mathematics, Ferreirós shows how the mathematical tradition evolved from Euclidean geometry to the real numbers and set-theoretic structures. He argues for the need to take into account a whole web of mathematical and other practices that are learned and linked by agents, and whose interplay acts as a constraint. Ferreirós demonstrates how advanced mathematics, far from being a priori, is based on hypotheses, in contrast to elementary math, which has strong cognitive and practical roots and therefore enjoys certainty.Offering a wealth of philosophical and historical insights, Mathematical Knowledge and the Interplay of Practices challenges us to rethink some of our most basic assumptions about mathematics, its objectivity, and its relationship to culture and science.

Free Download Language Policy in Ethiopia: The Interplay Between Policy and Practice in Tigray Regional State by Mekonnen Alemu Gebre Yohannes
English | EPUB (True) | 2021 | 193 Pages | ISBN : 3030639037 | 1.8 MB
This book examines the interplay and tensions between hegemonic and counter-hegemonic language policy and processes in Tigray, a regional state of Ethiopia, in the period of pre- and post-1991. Viewing language use and language policy as dynamic social and ideological processes, the book presents Ethiopia as an example of language policy creation and implementation over time, in a highly volatile political context.

Trading Ontology for Ideology The Interplay of Logic, Set Theory and Semantics in Quine’s Philosophy (2024)


Free Download L. Decock, "Trading Ontology for Ideology: The Interplay of Logic, Set Theory and Semantics in Quine’s Philosophy"
English | 2002 | ISBN: 9048161215 | DJVU | pages: 299 | 3.1 mb
Willard VanOrman Quine has probably been the most influential th American philosopher of the 20 century. His work spans over seven decades, and covers many domains in philosophy. He has made major contributions to the fields of logic and set theory, philosophy of logic and mathematics, philosophy of language, philosophy of science, epistemology and metaphysics. Quine’s first work in philosophy was in the field of logic. His major contributions are the two set-theoretic systems NF (1936) and ML (1940). 1 These systems were alternatives to the type theory of Principia Mathematica or Zermelo’s set theory, and are still being studied by 2 mathematicians. An indirect contribution to the field of logic is his strong resistance to moda110gic. Quine’s objectIons to the notions of necessity and analyticity have influenced the development of moda110gic? Quine has had an enormous influence on philosophy of mathematics. When Quine entered philosophy there was a discussion on the foundations of mathematics between the schools of intuitionism, formalism, and conventionalism. Quine soon took issue with Carnap’s conventionalism in "Truth by convention,,4 (1936). Quine has never joined one of the other schools, but has added new elements that are the basic ones of the 5 contemporary schools of nominalism, platonism, and structuralism. Quine has long been in the shadow of Benacerraf and Putnam in this field. At the moment there seems to be a renewed interest in Quine’s work, and most philosophers explicitly refer to Quine’s work.
