Noting that he had recently enjoyed a "period of reflection, enforced reflection," he argued that most of the problems facing the world — financial instability, recessions, trade disputes, environmental degradation — "cannot be addressed on an individual basis and can only be resolved by global coördination".
Yet Mr. Koestler also had a strong contemplative streak - so strong, in fact, that he found that his periods of enforced reflection as a prisoner had "turned into a spiritual blessing". And in his later years he made a fairly serene impression, his small frame neatly dressed by a British tailor, his iron-gray hair carefully combed.
He gives us only glimpses of the self-awareness that makes the banal details of being in a foreign place — the mutual incomprehension, the periods of inert, enforced reflection, the brief encounters — so revealing, both of a traveler and his environment.
Revalidation has a strong component of self-evaluation and enforced reflection will offer doctors more opportunities to consider their performance and ways to remedy any weak areas.
I would be wary of adding more enforced reflection on to students because there is a tendency to see that as a hoop-jumping exercise and not using TIPP for the value that it could hold, so I think that there does need to be some sensitivity in adding further paperwork particularly in fourth year which is a very work-heavy year.
Thus the enforced introspection and reflection of camp life bore fruit in one of 20th-century European classical music's acknowledged masterpieces.
By way of compensation, the enforced leisure left him time for reflection, out of which would come his masterpiece, Introduction à la médecine expérimentale (1865; An Introduction to the Study of Experimental Medicine).
By modeling the cavities together, coupling effects are enforced directly and multiple reflections are readily observable.
At normal incidence, a complete photonic band gap is obtained at frequency 0.162 to 0.242 (in the units of ωa/2πc) and so longer wavelength light can be trapped and enforced towards active silicon region after total internal/Bragg reflection.
In addition we extend the reflection technique combined with ghost-cells to enforce fixed boundaries with a zero tangential stress condition (i.e. free-slip).
