Abstract:

Kiev has always revealed a surprising capacity for assimilation, giving rise over time to multi-ethnic, multi-faith and multi-cultural contexts of various types. Thinking of the "Kiev text" leads inevitably to consideration of the other emblematic text of the Ukrainian identity, the no less composite reality of Lviv. This publication contains the contributions presented at a Conference (Milan, February 2007) addressed to the "cultural text" of Kiev and Lviv. The authors are specialists with different cultural profiles, and the book is of a deliberately inter-disciplinary character. In view of

Abstract:

Though oil prices have been on a downward trajectory in recent months, that doesn't obscure the fact that fossil fuels are finite, and we will eventually have to grapple with the end of their dominance. At the same time, however, skepticism about the alternatives remains: we've never quite achieved the promised 'too cheap to meter' power of the future, be it nuclear, solar, or wind. And hydrogen and bio-based fuels are thus far a disappointment. So what does the future of energy look like? The Tesla Revolution has the answers.

Abstract:

Color from motion describes the perception of subjective color that spreads over physically achromatic regions that are seen in apparent motion. Multiple frames are shown in quick succession, each frame composed of a random placement of differently colored dots on an achromatic background. From frame to frame, the locations of all dots are fixed, whereas the color assignments of dots in the test region change. Subjective color can be measured by color matches to and cancellation by real lights, can be seen with chromaticity differences alone in test and surround dots, and is independent of con

Abstract:

Color and luminance interact in many ways in the human visual system. For instance, the colors in an afterimage, which are due to adaptation of retinal cones, are especially vivid when test contours, presented after the adapting image, coincide with the blurred edges of the afterimage. A single colored adapting pattern can give rise to two differently colored afterimages, according to the position of black lines in the test field. This shows that colors seen by the low-acuity chromatic pathways will diffuse outward along, but not across, luminance contours. This is also true for real colors. F

Why is intelligence so hard to define? Why is there no systematic or adequate theory of intelligence? This book argues that classic intelligence production has been premised on an ill-founded belief in an automatic inference between history and the future, and that the lack of a working theory has exacerbated this problem. The book uses classic cases of intelligence failure to demonstrate how this problem creates a restricted language in intelligence communities that undermines threat perception. From these cases it concludes that intelligence needs to be re-thought, and argues that good intel

Unresolved fear is a core feature in its pathophysiology. There are difficulties distinguishing catatonia from melancholia; the prompt resolution of both with induced seizures presents a challenge in understanding them. Are they related?

The chapter examines some widely discussed accounts of objectual vagueness that understand objectual vagueness as standing in vague identity or mereological relations.

The high incidence of urinary tract infections as an underlying cause means that patients often have associated dysuria and frequency.

Unusual causes of stroke include those etiologies of cerebral infarction that are not related to the most common mechanisms of atherosclerosis or cardioembolism. This category includes non-atherosclerotic arteriopathies such as arterial dissection, moyamoya, and central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis. It also includes strokes related to a hypercoagulable state. Because the prevalence of atherosclerosis increases with age, unusual causes of stroke are more commonly seen in younger individuals in whom stroke is often not suspected, and therefore not readily diagnosed.

Social background theory formalizes and tests the intuition that judges’ attributes and experiences will affect their rulings. Attributes can include race, gender, sexual orientation, sexual identity, religion, and socioeconomic background. Experience can include education, occupation, and political activism. Social background theory is a positive theory rather than a normative one: it treats these factors as an explanation for a judge’s actions. Social background theory has a history of intentional scholarly integration of ideas and methods in other fields. The theory can be seen as evolving

By looking at Crete’s legal inscriptions, particularly those of the polis of Gortyn, we can see that these dependants were privately owned slaves, not serfs.

In looking at language acquisition as a test case, we see how mechanisms, and the structures they help build, tell us ‘where to look’ when trying to understand complex systems. We are still a long way from an overarching theory of complexity, but there is strong evidence that such a theory is possible.

Abstract:

This unique book presents a practical and realistic approach to implementing a school-wide, K–12 Genius Hour program–one that can succeed regardless of budgetary and infrastructure constraints. Genius Hour is a movement in which students are allowed to spend a portion of their in-school time learning about a topic of their choosing–even subjects outside of the curriculum. When properly implemented, a Genius Hour program can create true passion for learning among unmotivated students, ignite interest in STEM as well as the arts, encourage collaboration, improve the relationship between educator

Abstract:

Prime ministers dominate, but still lose office. Why? This chapter explores the conundrum that infests debates on the prime ministers’ power and influence. It examines the ambiguous and uncertain institutional environment with its scope for initiatives and choices. It rejects normative notions of what prime ministers should do and illustrates that accusations of excessive power and ambition have been thrown at prime ministers from the very beginning. It identifies the strategy of the book: to compare institutional arrangements in four Westminster systems—Britain, Australia, Canada, and New Zea

Abstract:

Deterrence is an important subject, and its study has spanned more than seven decades. Much research on deterrence has focused on a theoretical understanding of the subject. Particularly important is the distinction between classical deterrence theory and perfect deterrence theory. Other studies have employed empirical analyses. The empirical literature on deterrence developed at different times and took different approaches. The early empirical deterrence literature was highly limited for varying reasons. Much of the early case study literature did not seek to test deterrence theory. Early qu

Abstract:

In a landmark article, Sammy Smooha, a prominent scholar of Israel’s regime, argued that as an ethnic democracy, Israel was unlikely to witness the emergence of “European-style” radical right-wing populism. The gist of the argument was that in ethnic democracies the state already occupies the ideological spaces that radical right-wing parties fill in liberal democracies, leaving such ideologies no room to evolve. In contrast to Smooha, this chapter considers ethnic democracies as fertile grounds for the growth of radical right politics. It maintains that such regimes facilitate the entrenchmen

Abstract:

Tremble Tremble was an exhibition curated by Tessa Giblin for the Irish pavilion of the 57th Venice Biennale 2017. The exhibition was a collaboration between Giblin and the Irish artist Jesse Jones. It built on Giblin’s curatorial practice of ‘exhibition dramaturgy’ – methods of theatricalising contemporary art installations and enhancing their effects through modes of performance and immersion. The exhibition explored the relation between women’s struggles in the 21st century and the oppression of women in the middle ages, with a focus on the witch trials. It was developed in the context of t
