Nietzschean Autonomy and the Meaning of the “Sovereign Individual”*
Abstract This paper has two goals, one narrower and one wider. The limited goal is to address an interpretive dispute over the Genealogy’s description of the “sovereign individual,” a character type whose features bear on Nietzsche’s distinctive conceptions of conscience, promising, and what it is to take responsibility for oneself.

Ayurveda: Between Religion, Spirituality, and Medicine
Ayurveda is playing a growing part in Europe. Questions regarding the role of religion and spirituality within Ayurveda are discussed widely. Yet, there is little data on the influence of religious and spiritual aspects on its European diffusion. Methods. A survey was conducted with a new questionnaire.

An involution is usually defined as a mapping that is its own inverse. In this paper, we study quaternion involutions that have the additional properties of distribution over addition and multiplication. We review formal axioms for such involutions, and we show that the quaternions have an infinite number of involutions. We show that the conjugate of a

Homogeneous involution on graded division algebras and their polynomial identities [PDF]
In this short note, we describe the so-called homogeneous involution on finite-dimensional graded-division algebra over an algebraically closed field. We also compute their graded polynomial identities with involution. As pointed out by L. Fonseca and T. de Mello, a homogeneous involution naturally appears when dealing with graded polynomial identities

From Mendel to mycoses: Immuno‐genomic warfare at the human–fungus interface
Summary Fungi are opportunists: They particularly require a defect of immunity to cause severe or disseminated disease. While often secondary to an apparent iatrogenic cause, fungal diseases do occur in the absence of one, albeit infrequently. These rare cases may be due to an underlying genetic immunodeficiency that can present variably in age of ...

Involutions of real intervals [PDF]
This paper shows a simple construction of the continuous involutions of real intervals in terms of the continuous even functions. We also study the smooth involutions defined by symmetric equations. Finally, we review some applications, in particular the characterization of the isochronous potentials by means of smooth involutions.

Universal R-matrix for esoteric quantum group [PDF]
The universal $R$-matrix for a class of esoteric (non-standard) quantum groups ${\cal U}_q(gl(2N+1))$ is constructed as a twisting of the universal $R$-matrix ${\cal R}_S$ of the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum algebras. The main part of the twisting element ${\cal F}$ is chosen to be the canonical element of appropriate pair of separated Hopf subalgebras ...

Dual involutions in finite Coxeter groups [PDF]
There is a well-known classification of conjugacy classes of involutions in finite Coxeter groups, in terms of subsets of nodes of their Coxeter graphs. In many cases, the product of an involution with the longest element is again an involution. We identify the conjugacy class of this product involution in terms of said classification.

On pseudo-involutions, involutions and quasi-involutions in the group of almost Riordan arrays [PDF]
The group of almost Riordan arrays contains the group of Riordan arrays as a subgroup. In this note, we exhibit examples of pseudo-involutions, involutions and quasi-involutions in the group of almost Riordan arrays.

Involutions Restricted by 3412, Continued Fractions, and Chebyshev Polynomials [PDF]
We study generating functions for the number of involutions, even involutions, and odd involutions in $S_n$ subject to two restrictions. One restriction is that the involution avoid 3412 or contain 3412 exactly once. The other restriction is that the involution avoid another pattern $\tau$ or contain $\tau$ exactly once.
