Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient. 2017. Vol. 60. No. 3. P. 263–291.
This paper investigates mutilation of the nose and ears in New Kingdom Egypt (c. 1550 1070BCE). The topic is first contextualised within cross-cultural mutilation research, before discussion shifts to focus more closely on Egypt. The threat of mutilation in oaths is considered, as is the possibility of mutilation not being enforced if such oaths were broken. The paper then investigates the lived experience of mutilation, encom passing both physiological and social impairments. Finally, a 'supra-practical' aspect is proposed, considering the esoteric connotations of mutilation, this latter understood as a set of practices including but not confined to actual physical dismemberm

Как понять, хорош адвокат или нет? В данной статье мы описываем методологию, позволяющую измерять качество юридической помощи через разницу между тем, что предсказывает модель машинного обучения по объективным характеристикам дела, и тем, чем дело закончилось в реальности. Мы исходим из предпосылки, что если у адвоката дела стабильно заканчиваются лучше ожидаемого, то он делает свою работу хорошо. ...

Реализм – притягательное слово, с которым по смыслу ассоциируется близость ко всему действительному и истинному, настоящему и полезному, через его употребление подчеркивается отдаленность от всего абстрактного и искусственного, ненастоящего и бесполезного. Взятый в его разнообразных значениях, термин «реализм» явно не предполагает какие-либо содержательные сходства между принципами Realpolitik, гносеологическими идеями Ансельма Кентерберийского, представлениями А.М.
