Crossing Borders and Managing Racialized Identities: Experiences of Security and Surveillance Among Young Canadian Muslims
Authors: Nagra Baljt , Maurutto Paula
Published: November 2019

While it is widely acknowledged that Canadian Muslims are targeted at airports and borders, few studies have focused on their actual experiences of state surveillance practices. Moreover, little attention has been paid to how these experiences impact and shape identity formation and their understanding of citizenship. To address this gap, we conducted 50 in-depth interviews with young Canadian Muslims living in Vancouver and Toronto. Our interviewees referred to being repeatedly stopped, questioned, detained, and harassed by security personnel. They felt that any evidence of their Muslim identity – name, country of birth, appearance, or clothing – makes them a target for extra surveillance, resulting in heightened fears about being stripped of their rights and a lack of ability to assert their religious identities. This paper explores the implications of racialized border practices on identity formation and citizenship depletion among Muslim Canadians.
Les Formes élémentaires comme œuvre ​collective: les contributions d’Henri Hubert et de Marcel Mauss à la sociologie de la religion d'Émile Durkheim dans sa période avancée​
Authors: Fournier Marcel
Published: November 2019

Les Formes élémentaires de la vie religieuse apparaissent tantôt comme le magnum opus, l’ouvrage le plus important de Durkheim, tantôt comme un ouvrage qui comporte de nombreuses déficiences. Nous aimerions, dans cet article, rappeler les critiques dont les Formes élémentaires ont été l’objet dès sa publication en 1912 pour ensuite centrer notre attention sur un aspect de l’analyse de Durkheim qui a « survécu » à la critique : celui de son étude du rituel. Mais une question demeure: qu’en est-il de l’effervescence qui caractérise les regroupements de collectivités au moment des fêtes religieuses, et plus généralement de toutes fêtes sociales? Il est d’autant plus important de revenir sur cette question que l’étude durkheimienne du rituel est celle qui semble aujourd’hui retenir le plus l’attention des sociologues et qui si actualisation de la pensée durkheimienne il y a en sociologie, c’est par l’idée d’effervescence qu’elle passe.
Mapping the Field of Environmental Justice: Redistribution, Recognition and Representation in ENGO Press Advocacy
Authors: Ramos Howard
Published: November 2019

The environment is increasingly seen as a meta-injustice or master frame of the politics of the new century. If this is indeed the case, environmental concerns should transcend national and organizational boundaries and should have a discursive claims-making space of their own. Research on environmental advocacy, however, shows that many claims for environmental justice are rooted in specific locales and advocacy is often mediated through, and at times overshadowed by, other dimensions of power. Using Nancy Fraser’s conception of dimensions of justice, and a Bourdieusian inspired field approach, this paper maps Greenpeace and Sierra Club’s press advocacy between 2006 and 2010. In doing so, the paper identifies environmental advocacy spaces and argues that non-parametric approaches to analysing ENGO media advocacy are needed to explain the complexity of multi-scaled political contexts.
The Epistemological Diversity of Canadian Socology
Authors: Michalski Joseph
Published: November 2019

The current paper presents the results of a national survey of 190 full-time members of Canadian sociology departments to examine the state of the discipline in 2014-15. The paper focuses on the extent of epistemological diversity in an effort to answer two key questions. First, what intellectual perspectives prevail among Canadian sociologists and, along these lines, does any particular perspective hold greater prominence? Second, what might explain the variation in the epistemological stances most commonly endorsed? The evidence reveals a preponderance of critical and feminist scholars, which can be explained in large measure by considering the social locations of sociological practitioners. The results of a logistic regression model confirm that gender, generation, geography, and disciplinary genre are significant predictors of critical and critical-feminist orientations. A discussion of qualitative responses fleshes out the dominant themes that Canadian scholars expressed in their survey responses.
Understanding Differences in Political Trust among Canada’s Major Ethno-racial Groups
Authors: Hwang Monica Mi Hee
Published: November 2019

This paper considers ethno-racial differences in political trust, which leading scholars see as one of the two key dimensions of social cohesion in Canada. I compare trust among eight ethno-racial groupings: British, French, “Canadians,” other Europeans, Aboriginal Peoples, visible minorities, mixed-origins respondents, and all others. Building from the concepts of “social distance” and “social boundaries,” I test three sets of factors for explaining ethno-racial differences in trust: (1) three ethno-cultural “markers” – religion, language, and immigration status; (2) two socioeconomic influences –education and income; and (3) two social engagement indicators – voluntary association activity and ethnic diversity of friendships. Models also include controls for region, age, and gender. Using data from the 2008 General Social Survey, I find that, compared to more established groups like the British, two of the three most culturally distinctive minorities – visible minorities and French respondents – express higher political trust. Nevertheless, the third key minority community in the analysis - Aboriginal Peoples - exhibit lower political trust than all of the other groups. The findings suggests that some minorities, when treated or perceived by others as different or distant from the “mainstream,” may see government agencies as defending their minority rights and interests against discrimination. Aboriginal Peoples are a major exception to this conclusion, however. This underscores their unique position in Canada as the country’s original inhabitants, who have long endured processes of discrimination, exclusion, and racism that have influenced their trust in major government institutions.
Ronald Inglehart’s Comment on “After Postmaterialism”: A Reply
Authors: Brym Robert
Published: November 2019

Professor Inglehart and I are involved in a foreground/background dispute. We see the same black-and-white image (Figure 1) but interpret it differently. Inglehart’s foreground is white, leading to him to conclude that the image portrays two faces. My foreground is black, leading me to conclude that the image portrays a goblet. His foreground (my background) consists of the intergenerational causes of value change, notably socialization in relatively peaceful and prosperous times and the concomitant proliferation of higher-status occupations. My foreground (his background) consists of geopolitical rivalry and growing income inequality, forces that push the citizens of today’s Great Powers away from postmaterialism and into the camp of the meaner angels of our nature. True, we can see each other’s foreground — I adduce data showing that young Chinese citizens are more postmaterialistic than their elder compatriots; Inglehart admits that growing geopolitical rivalries and income inequality have stymied Russia’s advance to postmaterialism — but we each insist that our foreground is the main story.
Future Challenges and Opportunities in Academic Publishing
Authors: Siler Kyle
Published: November 2019

Digitization and the rise of Open Access publishing is an important recent development in academic communication. The current publishing system exhibits challenges with cost, where many universities are forced to cancel journal subscriptions for economic reasons, as well as access, as scholars and the public alike often lack access to research published in paywalled subscription journals. Open Access publishing solves the access problem, but not necessarily cost problems. Universities and researchers are currently in a challenging, interstitial stage of scholarly publishing. Subscription journals still dominate scholarly communication, yet a growing imperative to fund and support Open Access alternatives also exists. Stakeholders, including faculty, university administrators, publishers, scientific funding institutions and librarians and governments alike currently strategize and fight for their professional and economic interests in the broader publishing system. Four main trends are suggested that will characterize the future of scholarly publishing: 1) antagonism with scholarly associations; 2) changes and innovations to peer review; 3) Scientific/Intellectual Movements around Open Access 4) publishing and new professional niches in the publishing landscape. This article suggests potential trajectories and outcomes for these various conflicts over the costs and benefits of academic publishing.
Becoming Your Own Device: Self-Tracking Challenges In The Workplace
Authors: Richardson Steven , Mackinnon Debra
Published: November 2019

Workplaces have long sought to improve employee productivity and performance by monitoring and tracking a variety of indicators. Increasingly, these efforts target the health and wellbeing of the employee – recognizing that a healthy and active worker is a productive one. Influenced by managerial trends in personalized and participatory medicine (Swan 2012), some workplaces have begun to pilot their own programs, utilizing fitness wearables and personal analytics to reduce sedentary lifestyles. These programs typically take the form of gamified self-tracking challenges combining cooperation, competition, and fundraising to incentivize participants to get moving. While seemingly providing new arrows in the bio-political quiver – that is, tools to keep employees disciplined yet active, healthy yet profitable (Lupton 2012) – there is also a certain degree of acceptance and participation. Although participants are shaped by self-tracking technologies, “they also, in turn, shape them by their own ideas and practices” (Ruckenstein 2014: 70). In this paper, we argue that instead of viewing self-tracking challenges solely through discourses of power or empowerment, the more pressing question concerns “how our relationship to our tracking activities takes shape within a constellation of habits, cultural norms, material conditions, ideological constraints” (Van Den Eede 2015: 157). We confront these tensions through an empiric case study of self-tracking challenges for staff and faculty at two Canadian universities. By cutting through the hype, this paper uncovers how self-trackers are becoming (and not just left to) their own devices.
Publication and Citation Patterns in the Social Sciences and Humanities: A National Perspective
Authors: Pajić Dejan , Jevremov Tanja , Škorić Marko
Published: November 2019

From the perspective of non-Anglophone countries, accountability, liability, and capacity of scientific research is often related to the process of internationalization. The article explores the effects of this process on the example of publication and citation patterns of Serbian scholars. Results of the analysis are mostly in line with the common conceptions about the differences among scientific disciplines. Authors in social sciences and humanities have manifested more nationally oriented publication and citation behavior, tendency to cite older literature, and stronger preference towards non-journal literature. However, huge individual differences among scholars and some inconsistencies between their publication and citation patterns, reveal a form of latent conflict between the accustomed publishing behavior in social sciences and humanities and the new dynamics of knowledge production. This conflict obscures the notion of typical or expected behavior of scholars in certain disciplines and has important implications for research evaluation. Scholars in social sciences and humanities were not so eager and successful in shifting their communication to the international arena. For them, national journals still play a crucial role in the “local” information exchange. But the question is how one transitional country that is facing serious structural challenges and weak economy can afford to support “locally relevant” research projects and whether national journals have become a mere tool for an ungainly customized research evaluation in the social sciences and humanities.
Cultural Mixers: Race, Space, and Intercultural Relations among Youth in East-end Toronto
Authors: Sriskandarajah Anuppiriya
Published: November 2019

The objective of this study is to examine the way youth negotiate belonging in two priority neighbourhoods – Malvern and Chester Li – in Toronto’s east-end. It asks how youth experience belonging and negotiate difference in ‘priority neighbourhoods’. In what ways does space shape belonging and difference? In contrast to previous studies that are spatially decontextualized, I argue that neighbourhoods are the very sites where youth negotiate differences and connections as they engage with peers, families, friends and residents. The importance of space in studying youth’s sense of belonging is particularly valuable in Toronto where neighbourhoods are highly diverse and stratified. My work is inspired by Yuval-Davis’s (2006) notion of belonging and the politics of belonging and Bourdieu’s (1984) concepts of social field and habitus. I braid together a conceptual framework with the aim to achieve a more nuanced understanding of the ways power operates in the everyday context of ‘priority neighbourhoods’ and how processes of inclusion and exclusion and boundaries of belonging are demarcated.

Published: November 2019

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is an important crop in Indonesia, but many farmers still face problem in improving bean production. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of humic acid and biofertilizer applications on pod growth and yield of cocoa. The research was conducted at Kaliwining Plantation managed by Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute at Jember District, East Java, Indonesia from June 2017 to February 2018. The experiment used mature tree of Sulawesi from one clone. Treatment used were humic acid at level of 0, 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 ppm in combination with biofertilizer at level of 0, 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 ppm that were applied through soil and foliar respectively. Results of this experiment showed that there was an interaction between humic acid and biofertilizer on beans number per plant and photosynthesis rate. Plants treated with 1000 ppm humic acid produced the highest number of small cherelle. Biofertilizer applied at 1500 ppm increased cherelle number, healthy cherelle, number of young pods, number of harvested pods, bean weight per plant and bean yield. The combination of 1000 ppm humic acid and 1500 ppm biofertilizer increased bean production by 39.7%. The high bean production was in line with the high photosynthetic rate. Thus, humic acid and biofertilizer applications could be a way to increase cocoa bean production in this area.
Pencantuman Bankers Clause Dalam Perjanjian Kredit

Published: November 2019

Pemberian pinjaman kepada nasabah atau yang sering dikenal dengan istilah kredit dalam kegiatan perbankan merupakan kegiatan usaha yang paling utama, hal ini dikarenakan pendapatan terbesar dari usaha bank berasal dari pendapatan usaha kredit yang dapat berupa bunga, provisi dan jasa bank lainnya. Namun pada sisi tertentu tidak jarang juga sering terjadi apa yang di sebut dengan istilah kredit macet. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi terjadinya kredit macet ini selain berasal dari nasabah, dapat juga berasal dari bank, karena bank tidak terlepas dari kelemahan yang dimilikinya. Oleh karena itu, sebagai upaya untuk melakukan peluncuran kredit dengan didasari pada upaya mencegah terjadinya kredit bermasalah di kemudian hari, bank mewajibkan nasabah untuk mengasuransikan barang jaminan yang menjadi agunan dalam perjanjian kredit untuk kepentingan pihak bank .

Published: November 2019

The present study aim was to assess changes in clinical signs and plasma cytokines in calves experimentally infected with Escherchia coli and use them as a tool to diagnose colisepticemia. Ten healthy Holstein-Frisian bull calves were used for this experimental study. Experimental colisepticemia was induced in calves with intravenous injection of 1.5 × 109 CFU of O111:H8 strain of E.coli. Clinical scores were recorded before induction of septicemia, every 30 minutes for 8 hours, every hour from 8 till 12 h, every 3 hours from 12 till 24 hours after bacterial challenge. Blood samples were collected to determine plasma concentration of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and gamma interferon gamma (IFN-γ) before and after E.coli IV injection. Blood culture was performed before and after bacterial challenge to confirm colisepticemia. The present study showed that total clinical score of the calves increased with a simultaneous significant rise in plasma concentration of TNF-α and INF-γ during septicemia period (P< 0.05). Changes in the heart and respiratory rate during septicemia and using clinical scoring are not enough to assess the magnitude of infection and disease progress; therefore, it is recommended some laboratory tests be used for better evaluation of clinical status of the septic calves

Historical overview of the development of physical-geographical regionalization of Ukrainian Carpathians and the evolution of ideas about the place and borders of Skole’s Beskydy are shown. According to zoning schemes of Ukrainian Carpathians (Herenchuk, Koynov, Tsys, 1964; Tsys, 1968; Miller, Fedirko, 1990; Miller, 1999; Marinich et al., 2009; Hiletskyy, 2012) Skole’s Beskydy are treated as separate landscape area that consists of landscapes. Based on comparative analysis of physical and geographic (landscape) zoning schemes of Skole’s Beskydy, the results of own landscape mapping of the area in the scale of 1:50 000, modern specific maps (topographic, tectonic, geological etc.) and satellite images, Southwestern border of landscape area is specified. A new more detailed scheme of division of the territory on landscapes is proposed. The basis of the proposed landscape zoning of Skole’s Beskydy is zoning by A. Melnyk (1999). The criteria for landscapes defining were: the unity of the geological foundation, connectedness with their morphological structure of the lowest order, restriction to certain relief macroforms (of entire mountain ranges) and the nature of their internal morphological structure (a combination of highaltitude areas and arrays). The scheme of landscape zoning of the area under investigation includes 32 landscapes. Key words: landscape, landscape zoning, Skole’s Beskydy, Ukrainian Carpathians.Tsaryk, L. P., & Tsaryk, P. L.

Authors: Kiptach Fedir
Published: November 2019

The primacy of public understanding of ecological paradigm of development was revealed. The concept and essence of renewable using of natural resources and the main principles of management of land resources were illustrated. Two landscapes were singled out based on materials of soil studies of the territory of the village council Zalissya in Starosinyavskiy district, Khmelnytskyi region. Among them: a) much-dissected upland of a forest-steppe with black soils, humus, typical and ashed, with fragments of grey forest soils, in the past with hornbeam-oak forests and herb-grass steppe, now largely ploughed; b) mediumdissected upland of a forest-steppe with black soils, low content of humus, typical, deep, in the past with oak forests and herb-grass steppe, now largely ploughed. Fraction of soils covered flatness and linear erosion was calculated. Natural and anthropogenic factors promoting the active development of erosion in this region were identified. Norms of favourable correlation of lands for two forest-steppe landscapes within the territory of land use of the village council Zalissya with the purpose of protecting the soils from erosion and improvement of the land state were grounded. Key words: renewable using of natural resources, land resources, landscapes systems, lands.

Geographic education in Lviv region
Authors: Lavruk Mariia
Published: November 2019

In the context of reforming secondary and high school education in Ukraine, the geographic education of the region and the country as a whole should be considered as a system that includes initial, basic, preprofessional and professional level. Currently, there is no overall picture of the status and trends of development of the various segments of geographic education in the Lviv region that are necessary to consider while constructing regional education policy. The article defines quantitative indicators of the subjects of the learning process in geography on various educational levels and in territorial aspect. This study reveals that during next five years, the best prospects regarding quantitative indicators will have basic geographical education, due to relatively favorable situation with the number of pupils in primary schools of the region. The article shows in detail the educational achievements of geography students at regional and national levels; points the centers for optimal development of geographic education such as Lviv, Drohobych, Sambir, Stryi, Chervonograd; and reveals scientific and methodological improvements of teachers of geography in the region. The research analyzes the contradictory trend between quantitative growth of professional sector of geographical education (opening of new regional university departments) and the needs of secondary school in specialists, and between socially conditioned restriction of employment of young professionals because of growing proportion of retired among teachers of geography. It was found that 65% of graduate students of department of geography at Ivan Franko National University of Lviv do not mind working in education and respectively can replace within 5–7 years all teachers of geography at pre-retirement and retirement age in the region. However, the lack of effective educational policies at national and regional levels prevents replenishment of school’s segment of geographical education by young professionals, and thus slows down the process of modernization of education and its real reform. Key words: geographic education, levels of geographic education, the quality of knowledge on geography, age structure of geography’s teachers, teaching achievements of the geography teachers of the region, professional intentions of the graduates of Geography Department.
The analysis of relationships between annual precipitation and relief and landscape characteristics in the Carpathian region of Ukraine
Authors: Mkrtchian Oleksandr , Shuber Pavlo
Published: November 2019

The paper deals with the statistical analysis of relationships between the spatial distribution of precipitation values in the Carpathian region of Ukraine and the spatially distributed relief and landscape parameters. Processed data of 20 weather stations have been a data source of annual precipitation data for 1961–1991 period, while SRTM elevation dataset has been used as a source of spatial data on relief parameters. Step-wise multiple regression has revealed the set of parameters manifesting the strongest relationship with the precipitation distribution. This set includes following parameters: terrain roughness, local and focal elevation, and aspect factor for NW/SE direction; the overall relationship is highly statistically significant. The terrain roughness has appeared to be the single parameter with the strongest effect on precipitation values, followed by the local and focal elevation and the aspect factor. ANOVA results were much more modest in comparison with the multiple regression, suggesting that the quantitative spatial modeling, which uses relief parameters as predictors, produces much more reliable predictions of the precipitation spatial distribution than just averaging the precipitation values round the delineated natural regions. ANCOVA results show that the interaction between the quantitative and numerical predictors is statistically significant with the p-value of less than 0.01, suggesting that belonging to natural regions can moderate the impact of quantitative relief parameters. Thus considering the belonging to natural regions significantly improves the final prediction, when used in addition to numerical relief parameters. Key words: annual precipitation, climatic mapping, multiple regression, ANOVA, AVCOVA.

The book that the review essay revolves around is the memoir by the prominent Uruguayan poet Roberto Echavarren based on his recent on-site research in Russia. The topic I believe is timely as it addresses the problems of literary and artistic expression under exceptional conditions. This year, in China, these controversies that the Russian Revolution gave birth to are on center stage. The upcoming 100th year anniversary of the Founding of the Chinese Communist Party, in less than two years, will call attention to these issues again.
Progress in Integrative Systems Biology, Physiology and Medicine: Towards a Scale Relative Biology
Authors: Auffray Charles , Noble Denis , Nottale Laurent , Turner Philip
Published: November 2019

In this paper we present a review of progress in addressing the challenge to understand and describe the vast complexity and multi-level organization associated with biological systems. We begin with a review of past and current approaches, key lessons, and unresolved challenges, which require a new conceptual framework to address them. After summarizing the core of the problem, which is linked to computational complexity, we review recent developments within the theoretical framework of scale relativity, which offer new insights into the emergence of structure and function (at multiple scales), providing a new integrative approach to biological systems. The theoretical framework describes the critical role of thermodynamics and quantum vacuum fluctuations in the emergence of charge induced macroscopic quantum fields (effectively a new quantum field theory) at multiple scales, which underpin a macroscopic quantum description of biological systems as a complexed exemplar of condensed matter. The theory is validated through a new biomimetic experimental approach, which leads to the emergence of plant and individual cell-like structures with the intrinsic capacity to divide, differentiate and form multicellular structures. We discuss how this theoretical framework could be applied to extend our understanding of cardiac systems biology and physiology, and challenges such as cancer and neurodegenerative disease. We also consider the potential of these new insights to support a new approach to the development of emerging quantum technologies.
Australia's Stop Online Piracy Act: Copyright law, site-blocking, and search filters in an age of internet censorship - The Canberra Law Review, 16(1), pp. 10-64
Authors: Rimmer Matthew
Published: November 2019

Relying upon the work of Cory Doctorow, this paper argues that Australia’s copyright regime for site-blocking and search-filtering poses a threat to consumer rights, competition policy, and Internet Freedom. This paper first reviews the model of the Copyright Amendment (Online Infringement) Act 2015 (Cth) introduced by the then Minister for Communications and the Arts the Hon. Malcolm Turnbull. Secondly, it explores the flurry of cases brought by the film, television, and music industries in respect of this legislative regime. Third, this paper evaluates the expansion of this regime with the Copyright Amendment (Online Infringement) Act 2018 (Cth). In light of such developments, the conclusion calls for a new approach for Internet regulation by the Australian Parliament. It highlights the need for a bill of rights in Australia for a digital age. As Sir Tim Berners-Lee says, we need a Magna Carta to protect an open and accessible Internet.

Paper ini bertujuan untuk mengatuhui bagaimana tindakan manusia terhadap kerusuhan yang terjadi ketika menyelenggarakan pesmilihan umum 2019 di Indonesia. Pada kasus ini terjadi di Jakarta karena adanya ketidakpuasan terhadap keputusan pemungutan suara. Teori yang digunakan dalam paper ini adalah teori tindakan manusia, actus humanus, hati nurani yang sesat, dan double effect. Dari beberapa teori sekaligus argumentasi yang telah dijabarkan di atas, kita dapat melihat bahwa demokrasi yang terjadi di Indonesia pada jaman dewasa ini sudah sangat melenceng dari teori- teori yang dikemukakan oleh para ahli.

How well do pre-school delay of gratification and life-course measures of self-regulation predict mid-life capital formation? We surveyed 113 participants of the 1967–1973 Bing pre-school studies on delay of gratification when they were in their late 40’s. They reported 11 mid-life capital formation outcomes, including net worth, permanent income, absence of high-interest debt, forward-looking behaviors, and educational attainment. To address multiple hypothesis testing and our small sample, we pre-registered an analysis plan of well–powered tests. As predicted, a newly constructed and pre-registered measure derived from preschool delay of gratification does not predict the 11 capital formation variables (i.e., the sign-adjusted average correlation was 0.02). A pre-registered composite self-regulation index, combining preschool delay of gratification with survey measures of self-regulation collected at ages 17, 27, and 37, does predict 10 of the 11 capital formation variables in the expected direction, with an average correlation of 0.19. The inclusion of the preschool delay of gratification measure in this composite index does not affect the index’s predictive power. We tested several hypothesized reasons that preschool delay of gratification does not have predictive power for our mid-life capital formation variables.
Perceptual-motor performance in young people with visual impairment is related to visual acuity across different movement skills

Vision is important for development of action and coordination, but the impact of visual impairments on perceptual-motor development is not well understood due to mixed findings and limited research. To compare the performance of young people (aged 5-18) with different levels of visual impairment (VI) at different perceptual-motor (ball) skills, in comparison to sighted young people either using vision or blindfolded. Participants performed different ball skills: interception; bounce and catch; throwing. They were grouped for comparison by visual status: Sighted; Sighted Blindfolded; VI with Negligible Acuity (1/60 or below); VI with Residual Acuity (above 1/60). Task performance and motion capture analysis showed that across the different tasks, the Sighted group and Residual Acuity group produced the highest levels of performance, the Sighted Blindfolded group slightly lower, while the Negligible Acuity group produced the lowest performance and also adopted different movement strategies to the other three groups. Perceptual-motor development appeared to be substantially impacted in participants with severe visual impairments, whereas those with more moderate visual impairments were able to perform within the range of young people with full vision. This implies a complex relationship between visual impairments and perceptual-motor development.
The Small Number System
Authors: Margolis Eric
Published: November 2019

I argue that the human mind includes an innate domain-specific system for representing precise small numerical quantities. This theory contrasts with object-tracking theories and with domain-general theories that only make use of mental models. I argue that there is a good amount of evidence for innate representations of small numerical quantities and that such a domain-specific system has explanatory advantages when infants’ poor working memory is taken into account. I also show that the mental models approach requires previously unnoticed domain-specific structure and consequently that there is no domain-general alternative to an innate domain-specific small number system.
Foxes, Hedgehogs, and the Changing Shape of English-Canadian Political History
Authors: Bryden P. E.
Published: November 2019

This article examines the changes that have occurred in the structure of Canadian political history over the last century. With a focus on English-Canadian writers, and, in particular, those that have appeared in the pages of the Canadian Historical Review, the author contends that the shape, as much as the content, of political history has transformed over the last century. Recent political history is now more multi-dimensional in its structure than it was in the past when a more linear framework shaped most of the narratives.
