Competencia, desconfianza y la pérdida del disfrute. Un detalle del Leviathan de Hobbes by Mauro Basaure

“…Competencia y desconfianza son consideradas por Hobbes fuentes básicas de la agresión. Se muestra que responden a lógicas diferentes: Mientras que la competencia conduce a la agresión concreta y motivada por el deseo sensible de objetos, la desconfianza supone un rendimiento cognitivo mayor; a saber, el considerar a cualquier otro como enemigo y a los objetos como medios de aseguramiento futuro, mediante la anticipación y la lucha por el poder. …”

The Disk Wind Contribution to the Gamma-Ray Emission from the Nearby Seyfert Galaxy GRS 1734−292 by Nobuyuki Sakai, Tomoya Yamada, Yoshiyuki Inoue, Ellis R. Owen, Tomonari Michiyama, Ryota Tomaru, Yasushi Fukazawa

“…With the first detailed multiwavelength study of this source, we demonstrate that an active galactic nucleus (AGN) disk wind can account for its gamma-ray emission. Using a lepto-hadronic emission model based on a shocked ambient medium and a shocked wind region created by an AGN accretion disk wind, we identify two viable scenarios that are consistent with the Fermi-LAT data and multiwavelength observations: a hadronic pp -dominated scenario and a leptonic external-Compton-dominated scenario. …”
