Members of a society

When new technologies are not available to all members of a society, they can exacerbate existing inequalities in the system of medical care. Currently the structure of the U.S. health care system is fundamentally flawed. Racial and ethnic disparities in health status and health care, more than 40 million uninsured, spiraling health care costs, and inadequate levels of culturally competent medical care are all evidence of this problem. 

Whereas all animals of a given species have pretty much the same emotions, human emotions vary heavily with local culture. (Here, "culture" is only shorthand for the shared beliefs and values held by individual members of a society or a subculture within the society, including the belief that these beliefs and values are widely... 

Of course, individuals often hold a mixture of beliefs made up of different combinations of propositions associated with vacuous and potential political cultures, especially when different members of a society have different levels of assimilation into the official culture and different levels of loyalty to it. Moreover, individuals switch between systems of interpretation at different times. Even if individuals have mixed beliefs, however, vacuous and potential political cultures different systems of interpretation help to sort them out. This is another reason to look at the context and particularly at behavioral motivation, not at mere sets of propositions, when we determine what political cultures are present in a territory. Doing so allows different sets of beliefs to be more effectively distinguished in terms of where they stand with respect to the composition of a group agent. It should be emphasized that often we can only determine where individual allegiances lie if we consider individual self-identification with the whole complex, or with most of the beliefs that a political culture comprises. 

Evidently, the human society is a multi-component system composed of units , namely its individual members. This system is open because there exists not only an internal interaction of a material nature and through ideas between the members of a society but also an interaction with the external environment and the technological surroundings. 

The transition probabilities to be developed for the individual members of a society in a collective opinion formation process should at least make some use of the following general psychologically and pohtically orientated observations ... 

Nevertheless a beginning has to be made by observing the individual members of a society. There exist different and distinguishable aspects of life in which the individual necessarily has to assume his role. The various aspects of politics, religion, education, consumer behaviour, etc. have already been mentioned. Although such aspects can be effectively delineated, the attitudes of individuals to them can clearly be interrelated (such interrelationships would -once detected and modelled - be reflected in the equations of motion). 

The regular Conference of the US NDT TD was held on May 13, 1997. The members of the Society highly evaluated the activity of the Society s Governing Board and elected Prof V, A.Troitskij the Society Chairman for the next three-year term. 

This article is an English translation of a paper by Dr. Fabrizio Tonna, an Italian alchemist working with the Ars Regia Society and the International Institute for Scientific Research in Alchemy Spagyria. It was submitted by Dr. Frank Burton, a member of the Society"... 

Because of the asymmetry of power between science and occultism, and the ever-growing public faith in the authority of science, the members of a borderland institution like the Alchemical Society had to work self-consciously to solidify its public perception as a scientific society. But the subject of the Society—alchemy—already enjoyed considerable prestige in the occult community. So the Alchemical Society used the impressive scientific and educational credentials of its membership as part of its self-validation in the eyes of the scientific world and the broader public. Most formal mentions by the Journal of its members (either as authors of papers or as participants in the... 

Yet Muir s friend Sir William Ramsay—a far more accomplished scientist than Muir, and one of the most proficient laboratory researchers of his era—was much more engaged by the possibility that alchemy might offer insight into the goals and consequences of modem science. As we have seen, Ramsay was a member of the Society for Psychical Research, and he was deeply steeped in alchemical and Hermetic texts. His own chemistry pedagogy made room for alchemical history in his university classrooms in a way that had not been the case in the classes he had taken as a young man. 

Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds are members of a family of organic compounds called hydrocarbons, compounds of carbon and hydrogen. These hydrocarbons are the simplest of organic compounds, but are extremely important to our society as fuels and raw materials for chemical industries. We... 

Ladies and Gentlemen. It is an honor and a privilege - as well as a source of profound joy - for me to be here this morning and to talk about the distinguished member of your Society whom we are honoring here today. I am supposed to talk about the man. You must understand that this is a very difficult thing for me to do. Herman Mark has loomed so large in my life for over half a century that I simply do not know how to separate him from my world. 

The place of initiation must be a room that shows no resemblance whatever to either a bar or the stall of a quack on a public square. The novice enters together with a member of the society. They knock at the door. He is asked what he wants and replies that he wants to enter. 

Then in early 1678 Boyle got a letter from a man who identified himself as Georges du Mesmillet, the patriarch of Antioch, and the head of a society of alchemical adepts. In this letter the patriarch acknowledges Georges Pierre as his agent and tells Boyle that he will be nominated for membership in a secret society of alchemical masters. Boyle is informed that members of the secret society know... 

Literary persons and the members of fashionable society, as well a scientists, flocked to his lectures. Davy kept a careful record of all his experiments and showed it willingly to all who were interested. He remained with the Royal Institution for eleven years, and then retired at the time of his marriage. 

Dr. Finlayson-Pitts is a member of a number of professional societies, including the American Chemi-...
