I propose to depict the relationship between Badiou's philosophy and mathematics as a three-layered model. Philosophy as metaontology creates a metastructure, mathematics as ontology in the form of a condition of philosophy constitutes its situation, and mathematics as a multiple universe of all given axioms, theorems, techniques, interpretations, and systems (set theory, category theory, etc.) is an inconsistent multiplicity. So, we can interpret the relationship between philosophy and mathematics as the one between a metastructure and a situation. By using Easton's theorem, we come to realise that philosophical concepts in the metastructure "quantitatively" exceed the elements that belong to mathematics as ontology. Therefore, philosophy as metaontology shows the limits of mathematics as ontology.

Abstract
Neoliberal capitalism intensified the social fragmentation, which resulted in the upswing of heterogeneous communities without a unifying meta-language that was liberal universalism of citizenship. Our society shows "paralogical" traits and paralogy reverberates in the new populist policy I call metapopulism (Trump, Putin, etc.)-witness their inconsistencies. Metapopulism establishes unifying principles as a substitute of liberal universalism. These are allegory and the Real. An allegorical signifier ("patriotism" etc.), which is separated from the signified (the meaning), is a common representation of heterogeneous communities and simultaneously maintains their paralogy. The Real appears as the signifier that is excluded from "correct" liberal discourse and promises to enhance the experience of a system's failures by attributing a social meaning to it (sublimation). These principles work on the condition that their promises are permanently thwarted and deferred, which is their spectrality. However, another type of unification may be feasible. It is a unifying discourse and practise that is grounded in a specific position of the "precariat" as the hegemonical class as formed by neoliberal capitalism (the Lukacsian concept). Here, a unification is borne by the praxis of sublimation.

Der Staat des Großherzogtums Baden erlebte nach den Jahren der Repression und der militärischen Besetzung durch Preußen infolge der gescheiterten Revolution von 1848 eine politische und wirtschaftliche Phase der Liberalisierung und Öffnung auf allen gesellschaftlichen Feldern. Besonders die Jahre von 1860 bis 1866 standen im Zeichen der Politik einer neuen Ära. In seiner Osterproklamation vom 7. April 1860 kündigte Großherzog Friedrich ein Reformprogramm an. Fünf neue Gesetze regelten das Verhältnis von Staat und Kirche. Ein neu errichtetes Handelsministerium arbeitete ein Gewerbegesetz aus, und die badische Regierung verabschiedete 1864 eine Verwaltungsreform. Weitere Reformen brachten eine neue vorbildliche Gerichtsverfassung, die Einrichtung eines Verwaltungsgerichtshofs, ein Gleichberechtigungsgesetz für die jüdische Bevölkerung sowie die Aufhebung des Zunftzwangs. Es wurde der Weg freigemacht für einen allgemeinen, vor allem aber auch wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung. Eine große Rolle spielten dabei die neuen Gewerbevereine und ihre Vorschußkassen.

The dynamic structure of profit rates for 156 US manufacturing companies is
analyzed by means of fractional integration techniques as an alternative to
the commonly used ARIMA models with respect to the ``persistence of profits''.
Thereby the pseudo spectral density aproach of Velasco and Robinson together
with model selection criteria is applied.
The results show - despite the short lengths
of the series and tests for the integer degrees of integration (d=0,1) -
that 35.5% of the series may well be approximated by long range
dependent processes, and 54\% are nonstationary. This is a confirmation of the
strong challenge to the competitive environment hypothesis obtained by
previous studies.

Equally, the growing complexities of the challenges in the theatre of agriculture and rural development require multi-actor learning process. Participatory communication through face-to-face interaction remains an important approach to support local people's innovation capacity. Is there any mean other than face-to-face interaction that enables learning for innovations? Video has been used for several decades, however, in most cases instrumentally as a mass media for expert information dissemination. In recent years the interest in the alternative use of video, mostly known as participatory video, has grown. This study attempts to understand the potential of participatory video to support learning for local innovation by reviewing available literature about the cases of participatory video in the field of agriculture and natural resource management. A deductive coding approach was employed in order to identify the potentials of participatory video. The documented cases we found in the literature suggest that participatory video has a substantial role for both vertical and horizontal flow of local knowledge and information in a multi-actor setting. It creates a 'safe space' for communication where different actors are able to articulate their perceptions. What follows, actors get an opportunity for reciprocal learning process. Participatory video facilitates communication for the marginalized segment of developing nations in Asia and Africa to represent their knowledge and skills and to link these to other knowledge bodies such as scientific, formal, managerial and bureaucratic. Participatory video stimulates reflection and experimentation by creating new impetus for learning within and across stakeholder (actor) groups. Nevertheless, potentials of participatory video depend on careful analysis of social competencies of ...

Nevertheless, potentials of participatory video depend on careful analysis of social competencies of facilitators, institutional ambience and role of intermediaries and facilitating organizations. We also proposed future research angles on these issues.
