Abstract:
Glossaries of Outlaw Language from Böszörmény The earliest authentic records of Hungarian cant are represented by glossaries dated from the final third of the 18th century, compiled in the process of criminal lawsuits against market thieves in Miskolc, Eger and [Hajdú]Böszörmény. The first glossary from Böszörmény was made in 1776 with its handwritten and print versions made in 1782. This paper is the first collective, philologically-reliable publication of the Böször- mény glossaries, which also introduces additional information related to these glossa- ries.

AbstractThis paper investigates how cant is used to represent the social margins in the Old Bailey Sessions Papers. Cant refers to the special vocabulary that is associated with and used by people living on the margins such as thieves and prostitutes. Little work has been conducted on the use of this language in courtroom texts. Using a historical pragmatic framework, evidence of the actual occurrence of cant as well as metalinguistic evidence was generated through lexical keyword searches in the Old Bailey Proceedings Online. Then the use of marginal vocabulary was examined more closely in ex

Leaders of OC groups can assign members of their groups into law enforcement positions and parliament.

From an economic point of view, privatization and capitalization of the economic system in the process of democratization have been in the interest and favor of the development of criminal organizations.

Abstract Production ramp-up can be a tricky exercise, with a repertoire of challenges and surprises, which can threaten the proposed percentage of success. These challenges largely stem from paucity of data, change in reservoir dynamics, impact of unauthorized third-party activities and the compliment of skill sets/experience in the team. In addition, reservoir models are in some cases, ineffective tools for reservoir management and prediction. This is especially true in assets that are heavily bunkered by crude oil thieves and in geologically complex reservoirs with very few wells. Therefore,

Designing and planning periodic orbits in an uncertain environment can be very challenging. Traditionally, trajectories are engineered in a two-step approach. First, nominal orbits are designed, describing the system as a deterministic dynamical model. Then, brute-force Monte Carlo simulations are used to test the initial conditions against model uncertainties and knowledge errors (e.g. imprecise estimation of the spacecraft state). While this approach constitutes the de facto standard in current space trajectory design practices, it leads to very time consuming and potentially suboptimal solu
