People From Saint Petersburg Governorate
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Biosemiotics
Biosemiotics (from the Greek βίος ''bios'', "life" and σημειωτικός ''sēmeiōtikos'', "observant of signs") is a field of semiotics and biology that studies the prelinguistic meaning-making, biological interpretation processes, production of signs and codes and communication processes in the biological realm.Favareau, Donald (ed.) 2010. ''Essential Readings in Biosemiotics: Anthology and Commentary''. (Biosemiotics 3.) Berlin: Springer. Biosemiotics integrates the findings of biology and semiotics and proposes a paradigmatic shift in the scientific view of life, in which semiosis (sign process, including meaning and interpretation) is one of its immanent and intrinsic features. The term ''biosemiotic'' was first used by Friedrich S. Rothschild in 1962, but Thomas Sebeok and Thure von Uexküll have implemented the term and field. The field, which challenges normative views of biology, is generally divided between theoretical and applied biosemiotics. Insights f ...

Oscar Arthur Von Riesemann
Oscar Arthur von Riesemann ( – ) was a Baltic German lawyer and politician who was the mayor of Reval from 22 December 1877 to 6 April 1878. A member of a prominent Baltic German family that had origins in Lübeck, von Riesemann studied the arts abroad. He formulated the Governorate of Estonia's provincial property tax. He was the first mayor of Reval in nearly a century, after the end of the mayoralty of Wilhelm Hetling. This was due to the revocation of the Magistracy of Reval, the governing institution of the city at the time. In 1864, he was appointed the head legal counsel of the Reval Magistrate. He was later elected by the Reval Landtag at the Reval Town Hall in 1877, due to his sympathy for the concerns of the majority Estonian population. He emerged as a central figure in the opposition to the main Baltic German party in the elections to the first independent Reval city council. He was succeeded by Baron Alexander Rudolf Karl von Uexküll Alexander Rudolf Karl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
