Revisiting Tomkins’ Polarity Theory: How Humanism and Normativism Shape Political Ideology

According to Silvan Tomkins’ (1963, 1965) Polarity Theory, all ideologies are polarized by a fundamental conflict between Humanism, which idealizes and glorifies humanity, and Normativism, which portrays human beings as inherently worthless and able to attain value only through achievement of external norms. Research has shown that Humanism and Normativism do indeed form two coherent and negativel

Enzyme Immunoassay in Combination with Liquid Chromatography for Sensitive and Selective Determination of Drugs in Biosamples

Two different sensitive microtitre-plate based enzyme immunoassays were developed and evaluated for determination of the model drug compound, budesonide, in blood plasma. In the first approach, high sensitivity was obtained by using amperometric detection in a flow injection system for determination of the enzyme product p-aminophenol. The high sensitivity in the second approach was obtained using

Machinability of Lead-Free Brass – A comparative study

Convetional brass is still allowed to contain up to 3.5 wt.% lead even though lead is a hazardous metal. However, due to environmental concerns lead-free brasses are becoming increasingly available. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the machinability of a lead-free brass alloy, CuZn21Si3P, as compared to a convetionally used, lead-alloyed alternative, CuZn39Pb3. The attained results show that C
