This was not primarily meant to be another symposium on ageing, as is made clear by its subtitle "Consequences for our living together, or: are we becoming a society of single beings?". The focus was on both the fundamental transitions witnessed in the life course in the last three to four centuries from an uncertain to a virtually secure lifespan, as well as on the effects this has had on our ...

Product preservation and stable units for reflections into idempotent subvarieties

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the preservation of finite products by a reflection of a variety of universal algebras into an idempotent subvariety. It is also shown that simple and semi-left-exact reflections into subvarieties of universal algebras are the same. It then follows that a reflection of a variety of universal algebras into an idempotent subvariety has stable units...

Like Reflections of the Buddha, the exhibition it addressed, it was in constant dialogue with its physical setting, the singular Tadao Ando ¯ building home to the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, as the four sessions moved through the four galleries in changing light. The event was also distinguished by ...
