Taking the Law for a Walk2024 •
This paper situates the existential stakes implied in Peter Goodrich's oeuvres. A plea to an embodied, affective use of law, use of the body, by way of a minor jurisprudence attentive to desire and the phantasms, or images, that make up our world. Exemplified, as I suggest, through what Pierre Legendre describes as the trinity body-image-world. Goodrich's gesture is to do away with swift judgements and sedentary regurgitations of legal rules in favour of getting up, and moving, slowing down, allowing for what is implied in the notion of affect, that is, emotion but crucially also movement. Vitam Instituere means precisely this, law's function in instituting life necessitates a life engendered in living, a connection between the text and our sensibilities.

Sal die Suid-Afrikaanse konstitusionele demokrasie die huidige krisis wat die bestel in die gesig staar oorleef?Die belangrike vraag in hierdie ondersoek is of die regstaat (ook genoem konstitusionele demokrasie) in Suid-Afrika 28 jaar na die totstandkoming van die nuwe bedeling besig is om te misluk. Die hipotetiese vertrekpunt van hierdie navorsing is dat die regstaat suksesvol kan wees slegs indien die samehangende groter staat- en owerheidstrukture effektief en funksioneel is, die omgewing veilig en stabiel gemaak kan word vir die burgery, en die ekonomiese en sosiale toestande binne die samelewing hierdie owerheidsvorm, oftewel die regstaat, ondersteun. Die ondersoek bevind dat omstandighede binne die Suid-Afrikaanse politiek, ekonomie en samelewing nie bevorderlik is vir die bestendiging van demokratiese waardes nie, en dat ’n moeilike scenario in hierdie verband voor die deur staan. Trouens, getuienis wat gebied word dui daarop dat die regstaat en konstitusionalisme voor ernstige uitdagings te staan gekom het, wat risiko’s vir die voortbestaan daarvan inhou.

From Transcaucasia to the South Caucasus: Structural and Discursive Predicaments in Armenia's Regional Integration2023 •
Policy practitioners and scholars have long believed that the South Caucasus, as a distinct region, will have no future as long as its regional conflicts remain unresolved, borders are disputed or sealed, and economic cooperation is minimal. However, the missing component in such analyses is how the three countries of the region-Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgiaview the Caucasus from within as a political project and a geospatial unit. To address this lacuna, this study explores how Armenia's political and intellectual elites have perceived the shaping, (re)invention, and evolution of the Caucasus, as well as the progress and results of integration projects therein, over the last 200 years. This paper argues that historical experiences and dominant nationalist narratives in Armenia have generated and assigned a dual role to the South Caucasus. On the one hand, it was perceived as a geopolitical space dominated by Russia, where at least part of the Armenian nation could continue to live in security and thrive; on the other hand, it was seen as part of a divided homeland.

Excipients are components that help preparing a formulation and are classified according to their purpose. Among the different classes there are the tensoactive ones which are important in various areas of industry for having a capability of generating emulsions. Polysorbate 80 and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are important tensoactives widely used by industry in different segments to favor the homogenization of immiscible substances. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the antioxidant activity of polysorbate 80 and DMSO through the ability to neutralize free radical DPPH The results were analyzed by logarithmic regression curve to obtain the curve of the function and the curve of the coefficient of determination. Statistical analysis was obtained using the GraphPad Prism® software version 7.0 for Windows®. The different concentrations of polysorbate 80 and DMSO showed significant antioxidant activity in a dose-dependent manner. In this experiment, both substances exhibited anti...
