After the Soviet atomic bomb success, the idea of building a hydrogen bomb received new impetus in the United States.
In this type of bomb, deuterium and tritium (hydrogen isotopes) are fused into helium, thereby releasing energy. There is no limit on the yield of this weapon.

This Laboratory of Constructivism Interactive, also call Art Under Construction, is the Drafstman's lab section with an scaffold rails scene in interactive pieces.
Constructivism was an artistic and architectural philosophy that originated in Russia beginning in 1915 by Vladimir Tatlin and Alexander Rodchenko. Abstract and austere, constructivist art aimed to reflect modern industrial society and urban space.

The story follows an unnamed narrator who visits a mental institution in southern France (more accurately, a "Maison de Santé") known for a revolutionary new method of treating mental illnesses called the "system of soothing".
A companion with whom he is travelling knows Monsieur Maillard, the originator of the system, and makes introductions before leaving the narrator.
The narrator is shocked to learn that the "system of soothing" has recently been abandoned.
He questions this, as he has heard of its success and popularity, but Maillard tells him to "believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see".

ANALYSIS
At the time this story was written, the care of the insane was a significant political issue in the United States.
People were calling for asylum reform because the mentally ill were being treated as prisoners, while increased acquittals due to the insanity defense were criticized for allowing criminals to avoid punishment.
The story has been interpreted as a satirical political commentary on American democracy, a parody of the work of Charles Dickens and Nathaniel Parker Willis, and is also understood as a critique on 19th-century medical practices.

Aunque en el lenguaje cotidiano todos creemos saber qué se entiende por servicio público, no debería sorprender la necesidad de precisar su significado si se tiene en cuenta que existen serias discrepancias respecto de su definición y alcance, y que diversos autores han sostenido su imprecisión, su inutilidad o su inconveniencia.
La categorización de una actividad como servicio público depende de las cambiantes necesidades sociales y de los valores dominantes en cada época, y esto explica que haya sido caracterizado como «lugar mítico de la sede de la legitimidad del poder».

1. Antecedentes históricos: Los hoy llamados servicios públicos existen desde siglos antes de que se construyera la noción jurídica a su respecto, de modo que tienen una “prehistoria” y una historia : “la realidad del servicio público habría existido antes de que el concepto hubiera surgido y la expresión fuera forjada”.

2. Orígenes de la teoría: Con tales antecedentes, no debe sorprender que cuando el Tribunal de Conflictos de Francia utilizó la expresión “servicio público” en el célebre caso “Blanco” no se preocupara por definirla a pesar de asignarle importantes consecuencias jurídicas.

3. Avatares de la teoría: La concepción material aplicada en el arrêt Blanco nunca fue abandonada del todo por la jurisprudencia, pero no se aplicó en el sentido casi metafísico que le asignó Hauriou sino con uno práctico y contingente: la materialidad no se deduce de una idea abstracta sino...
