71	They Hasten toward Perfection: Virginal & Chaste Monks in the High Middle Ages Cheatham, Karen 20 March 2012 (has links) As perennial Christian ideals, virginity and chastity were frequent themes in medieval religious discourse. Male religious were frequently virgins and were expected to cultivate chastity; however, women not men were usually the focus of such discussions. But some monastic writers did draw on those models when considering their own spirituality, and it is worth knowing how they were understood and enlisted in those instances. To this end, I investigate five eleventh- and twelfth-century monks who wrote about monastic virginity or chastity: Anselm of Canterbury, Guibert of Nogent, Rupert of Deutz, Bernard of Clairvaux, and Ælred of Rievaulx. In my analysis, I uncover each author’s perception of virginity/chastity. Thus, I reveal that Anselm’s Deploratio is not about lost physical virginity or even sexual sin per se; it is a spiritual meditation driven by his immense fear that sinners would be forever damned. Guibert’s work exposes what a treatise on virginity could become in the hands of an adolescent struggling with sexual desire and steeped in lessons taught by his monastery. Rupert’s tract on virginity and masturbation portrays male virginity as tangible and potent. In so doing, it erects a barrier defending Rupert’s work as an exegete against detractors. For his part, Bernard teaches that what matters most is chaste humility. He also consistently links virginity with pride and false holiness, a strategy possibly linked with a battle between white and black monks. Finally, Ælred produces a model of monastic perfection that is terrifically masculine, distinctively different from virginity, and perfectly suited for his audience. In addition to uncovering each monk’s unique perception of virginity and chastity, I call attention to similarities and differences in their thought and make conclusions based on those observations. Overall, I have found not only that virginity and chastity did matter to some medieval religious men but also that the way they handle those ideals can be tremendously revealing. medieval high Middle Ages monasticism virginity chastity sexuality gender eleventh century twelfth century male virginity monastic virginity monastic chastity Rupert of Deutz Guibert of Nogent Anselm of Canterbury Aelred of Rievaulx Bernard of Clairvaux adolescence childhood masturbation Cistercian Benedictine monastic education De institutione inclusarum Deploratio virginitatis male amissae Opusculum ad virginitatem De laesione virginitatis 0320 0581 0318

73	L'UNUM ARGUMENTUM DI SANT'ANSELMO. ALLA RICERCA DELL'INTERPRETAZIONE AUTENTICA DELLA PROVA ANSELMIANA DELL'ESISTENZA DI DIO VETTORELLO, LUCA 12 April 2014 (has links) Contro l’argomento anselmiano del Proslogion sono state sollevate varie obiezioni, come quelle, molto note, di Gaunilone, di san Tommaso e di Kant. In questo saggio si sostiene la tesi che tutte queste critiche si basano fondamentalmente su una interpretazione imprecisa del testo di Anselmo che, se correttamente letto, ne risulta invece al riparo. Viene quindi offerta una nuova lettura dell’unum argumentum, con la quale, ricercandone lo spirito originario e più autentico, viene messa in risalto innanzitutto la sua struttura formale di dimostrazione per assurdo, illustrando in secondo luogo l’importante rapporto di complementarità che lega questa tipologia di prova a quelle strutturate in modo diverso, che procedono cioè a posteriori per costruzione diretta. / Many important Authors – as Gaunilo, Thomas Aquinas and Kant – have brought many well-known objections against the anselmian argument. This paper proposes the thesis that all these objections are based on an inaccurate interpretation of the Proslogion: in fact, an in-depth analysis of the text shows its fully validity. Therefore, it is offered a new reading of the anselmian argument, that looks for its original and authentic sense: firstly, it is enlightened its formal structure of proof by contradiction, and secondly it is showed its important complementary relationship with the other kind of a posteriori proofs.

74	Systém pro kontinuální integraci projektu k-Wave / Continuous Integration System for the k-Wave Project Nečas, Radek January 2016 (has links) The main goal of this thesis is to describe the implementation of continuous integration into the k-Wave project. The thesis focuses primarily on the version written in the C/C++ language with the usage of the OpenMP library which typically runs on supercomputers. Accordingly, many of popular workflows and approaches ought to be adapted, a few more created. The outcome of the thesis is a complete solution with real and practical usage. The author provides design, tools selection, runtime environment administration and configuration for each one of the used services. Software implementation of the basic framework is used in order to utilize running tests on the supercomputers. Furthermore, the implementation of chosen types of regression and unit tests are performed. Realisation is based on Gitlab and Jenkis services that are running on separated Docker containers.
