Abstract:
In a recent review paper related to energy storage, the authors noted that, in a bid to enhance the performance of the anode of a lithium-ion battery (LIB), that a part of the mechanism involved the ability of silicon (Si) and graphene oxide to bind, and that this process was aided by the ”mutual attraction of heterosexual charges” [1], a term or mechanism that was said to be derived from another paper [2]. A LIB, or any battery for that matter, does not have a bisexual, heterosexual or any sexual charge. It seems that this odd term and jargon neologism, or tortured phrase, was introduced as a

Abstract The Spanish prepositional phrase hasta la muerte ‘to death’, in addition to its emphatic and intensifying function (e.g. Hay que animar al equipo hasta la muerte ‘The team must be supported wholeheartedly (lit. to death)’), over the last few years developed a resultative function (e.g. Las mujeres fueron torturadas hasta la muerte ‘The women were tortured to death’; Lo apedrearon hasta la muerte ‘They stoned him to death’), equivalent to the one displayed by the English resultatives dead and to death (e.g. He shot the president dead; He stabbed the president to death).

Abstract:
There is interest in appreciating if ‘tortured phrases’ (i.e., odd linguistic phrases in scientific literature that purportedly show technical explanations, but which actually are non-sensical or difficult to interpret) exist in the sport literature. To gain an appreciation of this phenomenon, the Tortured Phrases Detector of the Problematic Paper Screener (PPS) was consulted on 9 September 2023), revealing 160 results. After manual screening and filtering, 54 papers related to any aspect of sport (as assessed by papers’ titles) were examined, in consultation with their entries at PubPeer (if

Abstract:
I have been working as a psychotherapist and social worker with refugee survivors of torture since 1990. I am now involved at the Texas-Mexico border, drawn there by the torture of refugee families and their children who are disappeared under the U.S. Administration’s phrase, “family separation.” In the El Paso Sector, I collaborate with several clinical, legal, and investigative journalism organizations. We’ve read of the thousands of children and parents disappeared from one another at the border under that official phrase “family separation.”

Abstract:
In environmental science, it is necessary to accurately describe processes, methods and phenomena using established technical terms and jargon. Any significant deviation from such terms might leave readers and peers confused, while confusion can lead to misinterpretations, opening up the possibility of errors. During peer review and prior to publication in a peer-reviewed environmental journal, it is thus incumbent upon editors and peer reviewers, and to a lesser extent copy editors, to verify that terminology in a scientific paper is accurate. In this brief communication, 61 papers with cases

Abstract:
Samuel Beckett excused himself from his affair with Pamela Mitchell with a syntactically evocative phrase: ‘It is I the hurter of the two’. The definite article is telling: How it is (1964 [1961]) universalises one cruel, asymmetric, pseudo-amorous relationship, deducing from it ‘billions’ of similarly helpless, prostrate, mud-bound ‘creatures’, exchanging roles as torturers and victims in a leniently egalitarian distribution of suffering. Titled ‘Pim’ from 1958 until its publication, Beckett’s last, long, prose-like work happened to coincide with the Algerian War of Independence, during which

Abstract:
Abstract Others in this symposium have amply demonstrated that the practice of torture through the years—apart from the physical and psychic pain visited on the victims—has been fraught with risks to those who inflict it as well. The torturer through history can be characterized as naive (in his hope that confession or disclosure will be accurate) or as cynical (in his indifference to the inaccuracy that usually follows from the practice), or as self-absorbed (in his need for the torture victim to utter formulas that support the torturer’s worldview) or as sadomasochistic (in his literal bruta

Abstract The above phrases describe the State’s obligations to its minorities. The phrase ‘shall not be denied the right’ contrasts with the language used elsewhere in the Covenant. The language of the other Articles is more positive in tone: everyone ‘shall have the right’ or ‘has the right’ is normal usage throughout the Covenant as in ‘Everyone shall have the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion’ (Article 18(1) ) or ‘Every child has the right to acquire a nationality’ (Article 24(3) ).

Abstract:
Abstract Debates about the legality of the death penalty in the United States span decades. Of importance, the Supreme Court has been asked repeatedly to define the Eighth Amendment’s phrase “cruel and unusual punishment” as it pertains to capital punishment. The chapter explores the history of executions, the means of state-sponsored killings, and the relative “humaneness” of the various methods used. From hanging, to firing squads, electric chairs, gas chambers, and lethal injection, the process of execution has been repeatedly refined and sanitized. Although the US public finds the idea of

Abstract The USIC embraced counterterrorism with an almost religious fervor, both as the mission to save it from the collective malaise of the 1990s and because counterterrorism fundamentally appealed to American intelligence as a profession.

Covert action programs that offended American sensibilities, like massive domestic surveillance, extraordinary rendition, and “enhanced interrogation techniques”—the sterilized phrase used in the US government and i

Abstract:
This chapter considers the individuals who gave their life for the religion of liberty. Umberto Ceva is one example, among many others. Born in Pavia in 1900, he was a chemist and manager. As early as 1929, he joined Giustizia e Libertà. He was arrested in 1930 together with Ernesto Rossi and Riccardo Bauer. Fearful of breaking down under torture and jeopardizing his fellows, he committed suicide in the Regina Coeli prison. Lauro de Bosis was one of the first to use the phrase “religion of liberty.” Born in Rome in 1901, de Bosis grew up in an environment rich with fervid intellectual and cult

Abstract:
Abstract What would fundamental rights look like in a constitution devoted to protecting all sentient beings, both human and non-human? This chapter focuses on constitutional texts and doctrines relating to fundamental rights and argues that, in principle, no new catalogues of rights would be necessary. This is because existing fundamental legal rights can be extended to animals since many of these rights protect interests that are not uniquely human. To develop this argument, the chapter first sheds light on four key phenomena that characterize current fundamental rights and that help explain

A small amount of unscrupulous people, concerned by their career prospects, resort to paper mill services to publish articles in renowned journals and conference proceedings. These include patchworks of synonymized contents using paraphrasing tools, featuring tortured phrases, increasingly polluting the scientific literature.

Since most of the known tortured phrases are found in publications in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), we extend this work by exploring their pres
