Abstract:
When a government action impinges on important individual rights, the United States Supreme Court is compelled to identify the harms it perceives in a behavior or practice in order to assess the constitutionality of a statute, a government policy, or a penalty. We select the six most recent cases in which the Court has expressed views about the harms it attributes to drug use. We conclude that the recent history of such Court justifications shows that they are almost entirely symbolic. Although several Justices in minority opinions have themselves made this point, only in the most recent such Court decision did the majority label a government action against drugs as symbolic and thereby conclude that it did not justify the infringement of constitutional rights involved. This view of the Supreme Court is the best glimpse available of the kind of arguments official policy-makers rely on to justify drug proscriptions.

Abstract:
Se analizan los simbolismos de la novela Cualquier forma de morir (2006), del escritor salvadoreño Rafael Menjívar (1959-2011). Esta novela negra contemporánea trata acerca de la destrucción del orden social por causa de la violencia del narcotráfico. En el relato, priva una perspectiva determinada por el empleo de imágenes propias del mito, en particular, una visión apocalíptica de la sociedad mexicana. Tal recurso al mito forma parte de una tendencia común en la nueva ficción criminal hispanoamericana. This article addresses the symbolism in the novel Cualquier forma de morir (2006), by Rafael Menjívar (El Salvador; 1959-2011). This contemporary black novel deals with the destruction of social order due to violence from drug trafficking. As the novel unfolds, the prevailing perspective is determined by the presence of images corresponding to the myth, in particular, of an apocalyptic view of Mexican society. That use of the myth is part of a common tendency in new Latin American crime fiction.

Celem niniejszego opracowania jest ukazanie wielopłaszczyznowości symboliki szat liturgicznych ubieranych przez kapłana do sprawowania mszy świętej. Analizowana jest symbolika poszczególnych elementów stroju liturgicznego kapłana celebrującego mszę świętą w tzw. nadzwyczajnej formie rytu rzymskiego, ponieważ w rycie tym ze względu na większą ilość nakładanych elementów stroju liturgicznego zawarta jest bogatsza symbolika. Okazuje się, że symbolika poszczególnych szat liturgicznych ma wspólne podłoże znaczeniowe. Można zauważyć dwie główne płaszczyzny symboliki szat mszalnych. Pierwsza odnosi się do moralnego aspektu ludzkiego życia, gdyż wskazuje istotne charakterystyki celebransa Eucharystii. Druga zaś ma charakter chrystologiczny, ponieważ ukazuje kapłana jako „drugiego Chrystusa”, a więc tego, kto uobecnia Ofiarę Jezusa.

Abstract:
Abstract Translation is an interdisciplinary activity in which translators must consider all aspects of the text being translated, including both psychology and ideology. They must also view translation as a complex process that spans linguistic, cultural, economic, and ideological factors, analysing intricate issues that usually lie at the boundaries of languages, cultures, and societies. This paper examines the challenges inherent in translating the sociolinguistic aspects of Thartharah fawq al-Nil (1966), published in English as “Adrift on the Nile” (1993) – challenges that include drug addicts’ slang and jargon, register, and figurative language. The specific objective is to identify error patterns produced by the translator and to analyse these errors quantitatively and qualitatively, assessing their negative impact on the reader and suggesting possible solutions. “Adrift on the Nile” is an important novel in an exceptional period of modern Egyptian history, and is regarded by many critics as “one of the richest essays on symbolism” (Allen 1982: 145). This paper calls for adopting a more sociolinguistic perspective when translating unique texts overloaded with cultural and socio-political meanings.

Abstract:
Moroccan feminist activist Zainab Fasiki has become a prominent contemporary artist. After the publication and success of her graphic novel Hshouma, Fasiki has gained international popularity. Nevertheless, Fasiki 's artistic practice is seldom thoroughly explored and analyzed. This article attempts to conduct a deep-level analysis of her work utilizing a Moroccan repertoire of symbolism. To reach this aim, this paper provides a semiotic analysis of Hshouma, Fasiki’s first exhibition in Morocco. The analysis of the different components of the exhibition is undergirded by the artist’s own statements and comments. The article introduces the artist and deconstructs her approach. It also provides background information on the female nudes in Moroccan art history and defines the Moroccan concept ‘hshouma’. Then, it describes the artworks showcased in the exhibition prior to a thorough examination.

Abstract:
Since 1998 anti-doping policy has undergone massive change. The level of world-wide cooperation involved in establishing an international anti-doping system is unprecedented in the history of the regulation of performance enhancing substances in sport. Such cooperation and the unipartite nature of public doping discourse give the impression that anti-doping policy is clear, unproblematic and universally acceptable. However, scratching the harmonious surface of modern anti-doping approaches reveals fundamental problems and inconsistencies, the two most basic of which go to the very core of the policy. Basic issues — what constitutes doping and the reasons why we prohibit it — are still unsettled, lack clarity and give rise to many significant operational issues. For instance, the definition of ‘doping’ in doping discourse is quite different from the definition in the World Anti-Doping Code: what is thought of as ‘doping’ is very different from what is punished as ‘doping.’ Moreover, the commonly suggested anti-doping rationales do not adequately explain the present prohibition on the use of performance enhancing substances in sport. In light of this uncertainty, two questions arise: why is there so much confusion and why do we prohibit doping in sport? Desmond Manderson, in his study of the origins of illicit drug laws, has wrestled with a similar question; his conclusions are that drugs have been prohibited more for what they symbolise than their pharmacological properties. This thesis argues that, in a similar way to illicit drug policy, the symbolism of performance enhancing substances in sport has played a major role in the development of anti-doping policy. To demonstrate the influence of such symbolism, three significant time periods in anti-doping history are considered in the thesis: the 1920s, the 1960s and the 1970s. The most formative aspect of symbolism in the 1920s, when anti-doping rules were first passed, was the association between doping and illicit drug taking. The stigma attached to stereotypical images of illicit drug-users contributed to ‘doping’ being viewed as contrary to the amateur ethos and the adoption of a regulatory system modelled on illicit drug policy approaches. In the 1960s, when anti-doping policy began in earnest, illicit drug symbolism was also extremely influential. Concerns regarding drug addiction in sport fuelled fears about the health of the athlete which were prominent in doping discourse at this time. Combined with a strong belief in the power of drugs in general, illicit drug symbolism led to the expansion of the illicit drug model of regulation to include illicit drug style testing. Doping changed in the 1970s with the emergence of training drugs such as anabolic steroids. Steroids became strongly associated with ‘communist’ athletes and were viewed as extremely powerful transforming drugs. A kind of steroid hysteria was thereby created in doping discourse. Simultaneously, the continuing influence of illicit drug symbolism meant that the previously adopted illicit drug model was also applied to steroids. The conclusion of the thesis is that anti-doping policy is not fundamentally a rational system: instead it has been driven much more by emotional factors such as public opinion than rational argument. Such a basis is bound to create confusion and explains many of the problems of current anti-doping policy. The way in which symbolism has led to the regulatory decisions in anti-doping history is summarised as constituting the ‘reactive regulation model’ in the concluding section of the thesis. This pattern of regulation has produced a number of important operational difficulties in current anti-doping law, the prime example being the ‘fallacy’ of in-competition drug testing to deal with the issue of training drugs such as steroids. Finally, it is argued that in light of the reactive nature of anti-doping policy, it is unlikely that recent challenges, such as gene doping and the use of non-analytical evidence, will be treated any differently to past challenges. Anti-doping policy has always been largely driven by reactions to symbolism; there is no reason to suspect this type of approach will change.

Abstract:
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka vad som karaktäriserar personer som döms för narkotikabrott på internet och hur rättssystemet beskriver de dömdas sociala situation och motiv. Uppsatsen använder en mixed-methods metodologi med både kvantitativ och kvalitativ analys. Det empiriska materialet utgörs av dokument i form av domar och förundersökningsprotokoll. Den kvantitativa analysen har bland annat undersökt 222 dömda personers demografi, tidigare brottslighet och vilka påföljder de dömts till. Den kvalitativa analysen har undersökt hur de dömdas sociala situation och motiv beskrivits av rättsväsendet. Pierre Bourdieus teori om olika kapitalformer utgör uppsatsens teoretiska utgångspunkt. Narkotikamarknader kan betraktas som olika fält som i olika utsträckning kräver symboliskt kapital. Utmärkande för narkotikamarknaden på internet är att de inte kräver symboliskt kapital. Resultatet för både den kvantitativa och kvalitativa analysen visar att de dömda köparna är en heterogen grupp utifrån rättsväsendet beskrivningar. De dömda har en stor spridning gällande bland annat ålder, geografi och valet av substanser. En del av de dömda beskrivs som vanliga människor med ordnade sociala förhållanden. Andra dömda beskrivs ha stora problem gällande psykisk ohälsa, missbruk och kriminalitet. Beskrivningarna av motiven till att köpa narkotika på internet är att få tillgång till substanser av viss kvalité, kvantitet, pris eller typ. Men också att få annan typ av relation mellan köpare och säljare av narkotika som inte baseras på personliga kontakter.
The purpose of the thesis is to investigate the characteristics of persons who are sentenced for purchasing illicit drugs on the internet, and how the legal system describes the social situation and motives of the convicted persons. The thesis uses a mixed-method methodology with both quantitative and qualitative analysis. The empirical material consists of documents in the form of judgments and preliminary investigation protocols. The quantitative analysis has examined the demography, previous criminal records and the sanctions of 222 convicted persons. The qualitative analysis has examined how the social situation and motives of the convicted persons are described by the judicial system. Pierre Bourdieu's theory of capital forms constitutes the theoretical starting point of the essay. Drug markets can be regarded as fields which, to varying degrees, require symbolic capital. The characteristic of the drug markets on the internet is that they do not require symbolic capital. The result of both the quantitative and qualitative analysis is that the convicted buyers are described as a heterogeneous group in the documents of the legal system. The convicted are a diverse group regarding age, geography and choice substances. Some of the convicted are described as ordinary people with organized social conditions. Others convicted are described as having major problems with mental illness, drug abuse and crime. The descriptions of the motives for purchasing drugs on the internet are to access substances of a certain quality, quantity, price or type. But also, to access a different kind of relationship between the buyer and the seller of drugs.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to examine how "Professional Exes", individuals that have exited a drug abuse and a criminal career and further are educated to work in the addiction field, transformed their identity and which factors that were significant in the process. The result of this study are based on semi-structured interviews with five Professional Exes and shows which specific factors in the process that contributed to the transformation and what kind of difficulties and barriers that existed during the process. The study suggests that, among other things, identification with others exes and the 12 Step Program are significant factors in the process. Furthermore, the study suggests that a difficulty in the transformation is that residues from the previous identity such as a poor self-esteem occurred in some situations.

Heroin usage is on the increase in the Western Cape province of South Africa owing to globalization and to increased access to the drug in this province. The goal of this study is to explore the experiences of coloured heroin users in the Metro South area of Cape Town, which stretches from Simons Town and Muizenberg to Retreat, Lavender Hill, Grassy Park, Parkwood and Wynberg. These individuals have been found to congregate in the Wynberg CBD. The overarching theoretical framework for the purpose of this research is social constructionism and symbolic interactionism, using a qualitative means of inquiry. Snowball sampling was used to recruit prospective participants and data was collected by means of in-depth interviews, with a semi structures interviewing schedule. The questions informed the subsequent themes and categories that arise from the data collection process. Snowball sampling was employed in this case, a non-probability sample, in which participants were recruited via key informants. The sample distribution included 13 participants, 10 of which were heroin users (5 female, 5 male) and the remaining 3 were key informants which contributed to triangulation of the data.

Abstract:
La problématique principale de cette recherche concerne la musique traditionnelle des Créoles, en Guyane. Produit d’un contexte historique, sociologique et culturel inédit, elle sert en même temps de ciment de l’identité créole sur ce territoire. Ici, la culture des premiers habitants, les Amérindiens, mais aussi celle des colons français et des esclaves africains est à l’origine de la formation de la société créole, et avec elle, de la culture et des traditions sous-jacentes, dont les musiques traditionnelles et leurs six rythmes principaux : le grajé, le léròl, le grajévals, le béliya, le kanmougwé et le kasékò qui font l’objet de mon étude. Par ce truchement, les performances vocales à travers un répertoire de chants en langue créole et les performances instrumentales par l’accompagnement principalement de tambours, montrent la réalité de la nature des rythmes fondamentaux de la musique traditionnelle créole guyanaise comme un fait social original, du reste attesté par des écrits du Révérend Père Labat dès le XVIIIe siècle. Mes observations de ce fait social m’ont permis de mettre, entre autres en exergue le rôle de l’instrument soliste (le tanbou koupé), celui des accompagnateurs, avec le tanbou foulé, guide suprême des instruments accompagnateurs du système musical créole guyanais, et le tanbou plonbé, véritable marqueur métrique. L’apprentissage de tous ces instruments et les savoir-faire qui en découlent sont transmis à la fois par les Gangan (les Anciens), par les groupes traditionnels constitués en association et par le biais des écoles de musique. Malgré les apports musicaux européens, américains et antillais, la musique traditionnelle créole guyanaise garde son authenticité, que je traite dans cette thèse, authenticité qui se renouvelle en tant qu’élément identitaire, tout en servant de base aux nouvelles compositions, dont la contribution de la jeunesse est significative aujourd’hui
The main topic of this research is the traditional music of the Creoles, in French Guiana, a product of a unique historical, sociological and cultural context, cement of the creole identity. The cultures of the first inhabitants, the Amerindians, that of the French colonists and that of the African slaves are the cement of the creole society of French Guiana, and with it, of the underlying cultures and traditions, such as the traditional music and its six main rhythms: the grajé, the léròl, the grajévals, the béliya, the kanmougwé and the kasékò. The performances, either vocal, through a repertoire of songs in creole, or instrumental, accompanied mainly by drums, show the reality of this original and social fact, attested to by writings since the eighteenth century. The researcher shows the role of the soloist tanbou koupé, the tanbou foulé supreme guide accompanying instruments, and tanbou plonbé, the metronome drum, which is taught by the Gangan (the elderly), traditional groups and music schools. Despite the European, US and Caribbean musical contributions, the traditional Creole music of French Guiana keeps its authenticity, it is renewed thanks to a young population, and it is the basis for new musical compositions

Abstract:
The subjects of ‘youth’, ‘substance use’ and ‘homelessness’ are interconnected, but only a relatively small number of studies have examined the relationships between all three components. Literature highlights how homeless substance users are constructed as ‘vulnerable’ – yet ‘deviant’. Furthermore, academics have examined how people manage the ascribed identities of ‘substance user’ and ‘homeless’ as well as that of ‘youth’. According to sociologists, people’s self-identities and actions develop as a consequence of interactions with their socio-spatial worlds. Therefore, it is useful to contextualise the act of substance use within these complex interactions. This thesis explores the meanings and contexts of young, homeless people’s substance use. Data were obtained through an ethnographic study conducted in a homeless hostel over a seven month period in 2013 in which twenty-two young people (aged 16-21) and twenty-seven staff members participated. The majority of data were derived from participant-observation encompassing 200-250 informal interactions with the young people and 100-120 interactions with staff along with observations of people’s actions and descriptions of events and appearances. The field-notes were supplemented by four semi-structured interviews and a focus group, involving a total of eleven young people. Drawing on theories underpinned by symbolic interactionist and phenomenological philosophies, three overarching dimensions of the young people’s experiences were identified as important to their substance use and wider lives. First, the young people engaged in ‘place-making’ actions (including substance use) to personalise spaces within the tightly controlled environment of the hostel. Secondly, substance use was interwoven with the relationships that the young people held with their families, friends and the staff. The ‘pro-drug’ voices of their friends and relatives were arguably stronger than the ‘anti-drug’ voices of the staff. Thirdly, the categories of ‘youth’ and ‘substance user’ were recognised by the participants as pertaining to them, whereas the ‘homeless’ label was relatively meaningless. The thesis concludes that to understand people’s substance use experiences, it is important to consider the socio-spatial contexts within which they are located, particularly when these are temporary.

Abstract:
Abstract The key to success in machine learning is the use of effective data representations. The success of deep neural networks (DNNs) is based on their ability to utilize multiple neural network layers, and big data, to learn how to convert simple input representations into richer internal representations that are effective for learning. However, these internal representations are sub-symbolic and difficult to explain. In many scientific problems explainable models are required, and the input data is semantically complex and unsuitable for DNNs. This is true in the fundamental problem of understanding the mechanism of cancer drugs, which requires complex background knowledge about the functions of genes/proteins, their cells, and the molecular structure of the drugs. This background knowledge cannot be compactly expressed propositionally, and requires at least the expressive power of Datalog. Here we demonstrate the use of relational learning to generate new data descriptors in such semantically complex background knowledge. These new descriptors are effective: adding them to standard propositional learning methods significantly improves prediction accuracy. They are also explainable, and add to our understanding of cancer. Our approach can readily be expanded to include other complex forms of background knowledge, and combines the generality of relational learning with the efficiency of standard propositional learning.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the topic of freedom of therapeutic choice within modern orthodox medicine. It focuses especially on the epic struggle in the late 1980s and early 1990s, led by groups such as ACT UP, to persuade the FDA to permit early access to unapproved AIDS drugs and to facilitate their approval. This movement, emblematized by ACT UP’s symbolic takeover of the FDA in 1988, resulted in significant and permanent changes to the agency’s practices and attitudes regarding drugs for fatal and serious diseases. It also led Congress to make important changes to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Finally, the AIDS community forged a now widely used model for direct citizen involvement in FDA decision-making. This chapter considers all the manifestations of this new American attitude toward drug regulation up to the present day.

Abstract:
This chapter summarizes the findings on robbery in Scotland and situates them within the wider theory and research on robbery. It shares insights from over a decade of empirical research in Glasgow and West Scotland, areas with a long history of gang- and drug-related crime and violence. Through qualitative interviews with (ex-) offenders and practitioners, the chapter explores the nature of robbery within the context of the illicit drugs trade, specifically. It reviews the way in which robbery has evolved and how offenders move through their criminal careers. It also discusses the use of opportunistic violent robbery as a means of acquiring symbolic capital before graduating to more serious and organized robbery ventures.

Abstract:
The triple language RDFS is designed to represent and reason with positive statements only (e.g., "antipyretics are drugs"). In this paper, we extend RDFS to deal with various forms of negative statements under the Open World Assumption (OWA). To do so, we consider ρdf, a minimal, but significant RDFS fragment that covers all essential features of RDFS, and then extend it to ρdf¬⊥, allowing express also statements such as ``radio therapies are non drug treatments", "Ebola has no treatment", or "opioids and antipyretics are disjoint classes". The main features of our proposal are: (i) ρdf¬⊥ remains syntactically a triple language by extending ρdf with new symbols with specific semantics and there is no need to revert to the reification method to represent negative triples; (ii) the logic is defined in such a way that any RDFS reasoner/store may handle the new predicates as ordinary terms if it does not want to take account of the extra capabilities; (iii) despite negated statements, every ρdf¬⊥ knowledge base is satisfiable; (iv) the ρdf¬⊥ entailment decision procedure is obtained from ρdf via additional inference rules favouring a potential implementation; and (v) deciding entailment in ρdf¬⊥ ranges from P to NP.

Abstract:
A new type of multi-objective genetic programming (MOGP) for design exploration is proposed. The feature of the new MOGP is the simultaneous symbolic regression to multiple variables using correlation coefficients. This methodology is applied to Pareto-optimal solutions of the multi-objective aerodynamic design optimization problem of a bi-conical shape reusable launch vehicle. The MOGP presents symbolic equations which have high correlations to zero-lift drag at supersonic condition, maximum lift-to-drag at supersonic condition and volume of shape through single MOGP run. These equations also have high correlation to another parameter of the body geometry. These results indicate that MOGP is capable of finding composite more efficient design parameters from original design parameters.

Abstract:
Characters in computing are symbols that stand for a single unit of data such as a number, alphabetical letter, or punctuation mark. In health information entry and exchange, correct encoding and decoding of characters in computing is essential for accurate documentation and interpretation of information. When something goes wrong and there are changes to or deletions of the intended characters, there is missing or inaccurate data in the health information system. Due to the very nature of health information systems, it is difficult to detect when information is missing. Another hidden attribute that is invisible to users is the way characters are interpreted by computing systems. Lost and invisible information can lead to patient safety issues.The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Maude database and the Institute for Safe Medication Practice (ISMP) describe a few isolated issues with computing characters and health information. Though the loss of health information due to failure to correctly translate computing characters would seem to be a problem with potentially high severity, we were unable to locate a collection of reported issues or a discussion summarizing fail-safe and error-tolerant system designs addressing this topic area. The human factors and human-centered design communities are uniquely knowledgeable and skilled for addressing issues with visibility of system states and error-tolerant design and would be in an ideal position for considering solutions to this issue.In this paper, we review and group issue reports on characters in computing and information entry and exchange. We reflect on human factors and safety engineering principles for designing systems to prevent, detect, and mitigate latent issues in this problem space. Furthermore, we explore special characters that present with added challenges when used in computing systems.To facilitate fail-safe interoperability and health information exchange, systems will require designs that address latent issues brought on by hidden attributes of characters in computing. Using human factors and safety engineering principles, we can help prospectively design to detect and disarm the snares found within and across health information systems.
