Blood, Milk, and Breastbleeding
Authors: Cabré Montserrat , Salmón Fernando
Published: January 2021

In humoral physiology the pregnant body was considered capable of transforming menstrual blood into nourishment for the foetus. After childbirth, blood became breast milk. However, this harmonic continuum was threatened when the maternal body was unable to transform blood into milk: in the Hippocratic aphorism 5.40, when blood cannot be transformed in the breasts of women, it indicates madness. We analyse medieval interpretations of this condition through the commentaries of university masters who examined this textual and clinical reality. We discuss how humoral physiology – an extremely flexible system of thought – could only conceive of maternal bleeding breasts with recourse to madness. Disharmony in the maternal body not only disrupted the physiological routine but also the symbolic function of mothering.
Ubi non est mulier, ingemiscit egens?
Authors: Cersovsky Eva-Maria
Published: January 2021

This essay studies the feminization of different caring practices by examining
the cultural meanings attached to the biblical proverb Sirach 36:27.
Touching on diverse sources, it investigates three interrelated contexts of
use. In particular, I explore discourses on wifely responsibilities towards
the needy husband; on charitable care for the sick and poor; and on the
nature and social status of women. I suggest that by using the proverb as
an argument, learned men subsumed a wide variety of caring practices
under received notions of essentially female duties and innate qualities,
connected above all to gendered ideas of compassion. However, the essay
also highlights ambivalent attitudes towards female caregivers, as well
as their agency and power, that surface within these complex discourses.
Bathtubs as a Healing Approach in Fifteenth-Century Ottoman Medicine
Authors: Atat Ayman Yasin
Published: January 2021

The fifteenth-century Ottoman physician Muhammad al-Shirwānī’s extensive encyclopedia of pharmaceutical science, Rawdat al-ʿitr (Garden of pharmacy/perfumes’), is an important source for understanding Ottoman medicine. The work includes a specific chapter about using bathtubs in urgent cases, along with self-prepared remedies. This essay contextualizes al-Shirwānī’s encyclopedia within the traditions of Arabic and Ottoman medicine. It presents the first English translation of al- Shirwānī’s chapter on bathtubs and analyses the kinds of ailments that could be treated by this technique, as well as the types of materia medica used in therapeutic preparations. Al-Shirwānī’s inclusion of an extended chapter devoted specifically to this home-based approach suggests that household medicine was emerging as an authoritative terrain of both Arabic and Ottoman medicine.
Maybe, We Will Benefit from Our Neighbour’s Good Fortune : An Exhibition on Collectivity, Community, and Dialogue in Turkey
Authors: Eğrikavuk Işıl
Published: January 2021

Deriving from the Gezi Park protests, this chapter focuses on an art
exhibition that took place in Istanbul in 2017, which was realized under
the ‘Aesthetics of Protest’ project. Looking at past examples of community
art practices, this exhibition proposes to think of collectivity as a form of
resistance and frames how aesthetics of protest can be traced to artistic
work in order to provide solidarity and empowerment. Working with
different art and environmental collectives, the exhibition questions the
idea of ‘neighbourhood’ and ‘neighbourliness’ and searches for ways of
sustaining hope and solidarity through the aesthetic values of the Gezi
Park protests and in an artistic practice. This chapter conceptualizes the
process of the exhibition and its artistic research process.
The Introvert’s Protest : Handwriting the Constitution and the Performance of Politics
Authors: O’Hara Morgan , McGarry Aidan
Published: January 2021

This interview explores the relationship between performance, art and
protest, using the example of the project ‘Handwriting the Constitution’.
The chapter is an interview with the founder of this global artistic and
performative project. It examines how protest is expressed in diverse ways
and the importance of carving out public and private spaces for protest.
Whilst protest is invariably seen as a dramatic event with people taking to
the streets to demonstrate, this chapter challenges our understanding of how
silent protest can be a powerful tool to express a political voice. It locates
the act of protest in handwriting key document in quiet collective spaces.
Ervig and Capital Penalties: The Way of Exile
Authors: Martin Céline
Published: January 2021

The legal system of the Visigothic Kingdom was significantly indebted to Roman law, and for a long time it preserved the Late Roman capital penalties of death and deportation. Yet, Ervig’s reign appears to be marked by a turning point, at the end of the seventh century: his laws ended the coexistence of both penalties in the Visigothic penal system, leaving exile as the only punishment incurred by political and religious offenders. Such a reform needs to be carefully weighed: was it a real break with prior penal practice? Can it be interpreted as a Christian reform of the civil law? And what about the seemingly increasing confusion between exile and servitude?
Easton and Dante: beyond Chaucer
Authors: Havely Nick
Published: January 2021

Easton’s detailed engagement with the Monarchia (especially Book
III) is a very early – and possibly the earliest – response to Dante by an
English writer. It forms an important part of the debate about papal
authority in the later stages in his Defensorium ecclesiastice potestatis,
and it would influence thinking on the subject in the middle of the
following century (for example, in John Whethamstede’s writing on the
papacy). The essay considers Easton’s reading of and disagreement with
Dante in the context of the Defensorium’s composition at the Avignon
Curia in the 1370s, along with the possibility that during the English
cardinal’s later years in Italy he and Chaucer might well have known
about each other’s work.
Kinship and noble life
Authors: Vester Matthew
Published: January 2021

The formal and informal political authority of René de Challant was rooted in his kin relations. He inherited titles, lands, and relationships through the ancestors of both of his parents, and through affinal kin. The territorial dimension of the connections spread from northern Italy to the transalpine Sabaudian lands, and from Iberia to the Swiss lands and the Franche-Comté. René’s family interacted socially with other nobles in the Valle d’Aosta and elsewhere, consolidating their shared position as members of the elite but also engaging in sharp legal conflicts when their landed or jurisdictional interests collided.
Cinema Hangs Tough
Authors: Gaudreault André , Marion Philippe
Published: January 2021

Starting from a new formulation to the end of cinema issue – “What
remains of cinema?” – Gaudreault and Marion answer: “cinema is hanging
tough” and argue that the “resilience” of cinema depends on what we are
talking about with this word both in terms of digitalization and cultural
differences. They examine the different hypotheses arising in this regard
from the point of view of the range of words it mobilizes (cinema, movie,
moving images, and so on). Differences in naming are “highly significant”
as we can observe in a Bogdanovitch-Welles dialogue or at the occasion
of the Netflix controversy during the recent Cannes or Venice festivals.
The Twenty-First-Century Postcinematic Ecology of the Film Museum
Authors: Fossati Giovanna , van den Oever Annie
Published: January 2021

Contributing to the cinema death topic while focusing on national film
institutes, Giovanna Fossati and Annie van den Oever observe that, while
it can be said that processes of digitalization (which raise the question as
to whether the notion of film is still relevant in this new technological
context) have deeply affected the world of film and cinema, some of the
film institutes remain – an index of the cinema persistence. Digitalization
concerns reproduction and creation. The exchange of views between
Fossati and Van den Oever provides a useful perspective on the issue of
digital archiving. It also deeply enriches the idea of post-cinema, more
precisely, the idea of “a new post-cinematic ecology.”
Art, Otherwise Than Art
Authors: Chateau Dominique
Published: January 2021

Dominique Chateau posits that post-art can be characterized by the
formula: art, otherwise than art. It means that in the institutional context
presently governing art, the artworks or what serves as such, including
objects or acts claiming non-art, are explicitly exhibited as art while different
kinds of physical or mental attitudes are allowed toward them that
have nothing to do with art in the first place. It is in this art, otherwise than
art context that cinema and contemporary art are mutually challenging,
as can be seen in the meeting of cinema with the dispositifs of exhibition
spaces; the intrusion of cinema into art or post-art places. More generally,
this possibility opens news paths for creation: new filmic form, changes
in the creators’ status, and the advent of exhibitions of a new kind.
American concepts: Building Europe (1947-1949)
Authors: Segers Mathieu
Published: January 2021

Dutch ambitions for post-war Europe thrived within the wider goal of constructing a transatlantic free-trade zone in the wake of the establishment of the Bretton Woods system (1944). In the late 1940s, The Hague’s European and foreign policy focused on economic cooperation within the framework of the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC), the multilateral organisation linked to the Marshall Plan. This transatlantic arena had been created after the launch of the Plan in 1947 by energetic American diplomacy strongly promoting European integration to tackle the German question in light of the unfolding Cold War.
At home in the Basel biotope (1968-1974)
Authors: Segers Mathieu
Published: January 2021

In 1973, the United Kingdom finally became a member of the European Community, together with Denmark and Ireland. This meant the beginning of the end of any serious ambition to develop the political dimension of European integration beyond the status quo. At the same time, the integration process faced new challenges posed by the collapse of the Bretton Woods system. The Netherlands was on the brink of embarking on its happiest period in post-war Western Europe. The ‘new’ European integration that had emerged from the ashes of Bretton Woods, and would include the United Kingdom, became increasingly instrumental, focusing on the market and the management of international financial-economic and monetary affairs: things the Dutch felt they were good at.
After Strasbourg: A different party than expected (1989-1992)
Authors: Segers Mathieu
Published: January 2021

Like the ECSC, the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) would never become a Dutch favourite. And like the ECSC, the EMU again made European integration a predominantly continental affair, centred around the Franco-German axis, with the Netherlands’ best allies the UK and Scandinavia at a distance. Unlike the ECSC, however, the EMU saw the Netherlands become a prominent engineer of this course of events in European integration. Dutch financial-economic and monetary technocrats were leading figures, launching far-reaching plans for monetary union from the mid-1970s and proposing ingenious interlinks between monetary union and the deepening of market integration. Tellingly, the treaties that created the EMU and the euro were both signed on Dutch soil, in Maastricht and Amsterdam.
European realities: Defining Europe after the Cold War
Authors: Segers Mathieu
Published: January 2021

‘Post-Maastricht reality’ soon became again an uneasy European reality for Dutch policymakers. As the uneasiness with ‘Small Europe’ had done in the late 1950s, it silenced Dutch political debate on European integration. And, once more, it triggered an erratic course during the 1990s and 2000s in which European integration fundamentally changed, both in terms of deepening (mainly through the eurozone) and widening (the accession of the former Warsaw Pact members). Once again, the Dutch felt lost in Europe. Crucially, Dutch government representatives often proved unable to fathom the European and transatlantic political realities that were shaping the Netherlands’ position in European integration and by implication the fate of Dutch initiatives and plans.
Out of the Celluloid Closet, into the Theatres! Towards a Genealogy of Queer Film Festivals and Gay and Lesbian Film Studies
Authors: Damiens Antoine
Published: January 2021

Chapter 3 revisits traditional historical accounts of the development of
both gay and lesbian film studies and festivals. In particular, I trace the
emergence and mutation of the concept ‘gay and lesbian cinema(s)’ –
a relatively recent notion shaped through an interplay between film
criticism, festival organizing, and scholarship. I detail the careers and
works of various critics and scholars as they intersect with LGBTQ festival
organizing. In so doing, I nuance the divide between scholars, critics, and
practitioners that has been instrumental in asserting the legitimacy of
festival studies and describe various uses of the festival format as a praxis
of academic knowledge production. In so doing, Chapter 3 is offered as a
criticism of festival studies’ emphasis on stakeholders: it highlights the
networks of friendship, fucking, and collaboration that informed the
development of LGBTQ cinema.
Rethinking the Human, Rethinking the Essay Film : The Ecocritical Work of The Pearl Button
Authors: Smaill Belinda
Published: January 2021

In the essayistic mode, the performance of selfhood frequently questions
the logic of subjectivity and its relation with the world. Taking up this
core property of the essay film, this chapter explores its potential to
further ecocritical approaches in film studies. It asks how grappling with
non-human themes and aesthetics might further complicate and rethink
not just the sovereign subject in documentary, but the status of the human
more fundamentally. These questions are taken up through a close reading
of Patricio Guzmán’s The Pearl Button (El botón de nácar, Chile, 2015), a film
that examines post-dictatorship Chile by criss-crossing multiple spheres
of interest, including the events of the military dictatorship, cultures and
the impact of colonialism, astronomy, Chilean natural geography, with
water as structuring concern across all.
Transnational Play
Authors: Schleiner Anne-Marie
Published: January 2021

Transnational Play approaches gameplay as a set of practices and a global industry that includes diverse participation from players and developers located within the global South, in nations outside of the First World. Players experience play in game cafes, through casual games for regional and global causes like environmentalism, through piracy and cheats, via cultural localization, on their mobile phones, and through urban playful art in Latin America. This book offers a reorientation of perspective on the global developers who make games, as well as the players who consume games, while still acknowledging geographically distributed socioeconomic, racial, gender, and other inequities. Over the course of the inquiry, which includes a chapter dedicated to the cartography of the mobile augmented reality game Pokémon Go, the author develops a theoretical line of argument critically informed by gender studies and intersectionality, postcolonialism, geopolitics, and game studies, problematizing play as a diverse and contested transnational domain.
Venues for Ludoliteracy: Arcades, Game Cafés, and Street Pirates
Authors: Schleiner Anne-Marie
Published: January 2021

This chapter presents a review of popular platforms and spaces for
gameplay in the global South. My research method in this chapter is
closest to digital ethnography, informed by site visits and other online
visual and textual documentation. I also discuss experimental gaming
venues in India, Senegal, and Kenya that attempt to overcome obstacles
to accessibility. I reflect on a lack of gender diversity observable in many
global public play spaces. The mobile platform is approached as one of
the more recently viable and gender diverse platforms for gaming in the
global South. The chapter closes with a presentation of Southern players’
and game pirates’ defense of their ethics on online gaming forums.
The Free-to-play Time of Women in Brazil : Localized Mobile and Casual Games
Authors: Schleiner Anne-Marie
Published: January 2021

This chapter looks at the rising popularity of casual mobile games in the
global South with a spotlight on Brazil. Initially costless, ‘free-to-play’
games are appealing to increasingly gender-diverse players. Structurally,
the addictive features of design are looked at carefully, especially in relation
to temporality and pacing, drawing from past feminist studies of how
women incorporate entertainment media like television into their daily
routines. I question whether players are empowered, or whether they
are exploited by such sticky casual game mechanics. The intersectional
analysis in this chapter takes both gender, and the geographic location of
developers and players into account. This chapter also discusses localization
strategies that Northern developers are implementing for marketing
casual mobile games in the global South.
The Geopolitics of Pokémon Go: Navigating Bordering Cities with a Mobile Augmented Reality Game Map
Authors: Schleiner Anne-Marie
Published: January 2021

In this chapter I recount an ethnographic play tour I undertook of the
augmented reality mobile game Pokémon Go in the cities of Tijuana and
San Diego at the United States and Mexican border, with help from skilled
local players. I also conduct a theoretical inquiry into the cartography
of augmented reality mobile games informed by post-colonialism and
geography. Although technically advanced, I posit that such games implement
older, geopolitical approaches to mapmaking when streets on the
game map are converted into corridors of play stations. The chapter
closes with a discussion of novel and feminist cartographic strategies and
cheats I encountered among Mexican players for mitigating the risks and
obstacles to playing such mobile games in urban public space.
Material Expressions of Religious Culture
Authors: Hickey-Moody Anna , Willcox Marissa
Published: January 2021

Materiality communicates complex information, often about the perspectives
of people whose voices are silenced, or left off historical records.
Material cultures provide indirect archives of such social histories, values
and feelings. Examining the expressive qualities of material culture,
we draw on data from the trans-national research project ‘Interfaith
Childhoods’. This project generates and documents community perspectives
on faith, identity and belonging. In response to our data generated
through arts workshops with children and focus group discussions with
parents, we develop a theoretical framework which observes how the
materiality of religion can shape the ways young people and their parents
build relationships with those from different religions. Here, we theorise
how our empirical evidence makes a case for thinking through visual and
material cultures of religion.
The Global Appeal of Digital Pastors: A Comparative Case Study of Joseph Prince, and Brian and Bobbie Houston
Authors: Gomes Catherine , Tan Jonathan Y.
Published: January 2021

Digital technology has facilitated new ways for pastors and the faithful
to congregate. No longer are congregations limited to physical and
temporal boundaries with sermons streamed live, or as podcasts for
viewing anywhere and anytime. Moreover, the visibility of pastors in
their churches giving charismatic sermons and surrounded by musical
performers in front of huge and sometimes emotional crowds are slick
theatrical productions that not only maintain spiritual manna for church
members near and far, but also appealing to new converts. This chapter
investigates the transnational and cross-cultural appeal of the prosperity
gospel movement’s Asia-Pacific stars – Brian and Bobbie Houston (Hillsong
Church) and Joseph Prince (Joseph Prince Ministries, New Creation Church
and Grace Ministries) on their culturally diverse and ethnically pluralistic
global congregations.
The ‘Open Letter to the Evangelical Church’ and its Discontents: The Online Politics of Asian American Evangelicals, 2013-2016
Authors: Tse Justin K.H.
Published: January 2021

Recent treatments of Asian American evangelicals tend to focus on a shift
of attention from their identity-based attempts to found autonomous
congregations to online self-publications. I evaluate this new trend by
considering two episodes in Asian American evangelical self-publication:
the ‘open letter to the evangelical church’ in 2013 and the Killjoy Prophets
initiative from 2014-2016 when their leader Suey Park disappeared from
the Internet. I argue that while Asian American evangelical online selfpublication
is intended to reform evangelicalism, its discursive nature
leads to debates among Asian American evangelicals about whether
the cyber-discourse about them is adequately representational. This
sobering analysis demonstrates that the identitarian claims of Asian
American evangelicalism are not transcended by cyberspace, but are
exacerbated by it.
Beyond Sexual Mimesis
Authors: Heyam Kit
Published: January 2021

This chapter investigates how a consensus developed that Edward II was murdered by anal penetration with a red-hot spit. I question its interpretation by scholars as a self-evidently sexually mimetic, punitive murder method: in fact, the earliest accounts of this murder present it primarily as painful, torturous, and undetectable through outward inspection. Importantly, too, these earliest accounts emerge before the formation of a consensus on whether Edward’s transgressions were sexual, let alone whether they specifically constituted sex with men. This analysis prompts a reassessment of the place of this narrative in the history of queer sexuality, and of the murder scene in Marlowe’s Edward II, while also further illuminating the literary priorities of medieval and early modern chroniclers.
Forming Cityscapes
Authors: Kong Gideon , Yeo Jamie
Published: January 2021

This chapter presents a photographic documentation project with a particular
interest in everyday city life in Singapore. As a theoretical reflection on the
project, we examine the interrelationships between the project and related
ideas across urban studies, photography and design, while positioning it as
a form of ‘artistic research’. Selected photographic findings from Forming
Cityscapes are presented alongside a critical discussion on creative forms of
appropriation that indirectly critique ‘top-down’ design implementations and
suggest other micro-possibilities through actual use. With this, an imaginative
representation of Singapore’s cityscape is represented through (1) our creative
practice, and (2) photographic findings of creative practices found in the city.
Introduction
Authors: Chung Simone Shu-Yeng , Douglass Mike
Published: January 2021

This chapter outlines how imaginative representations of the city, told through
the images they convey or evoke, form collective expressions of human agency
in placemaking and the (re)shaping of urban space. Of equal importance are
polemical developments that play integral roles in influencing conditions for
artistic and social (re)production in Singapore. In foregrounding society-space
relations and the city, we argue that physical spaces are subject to a multitude
of social imaginings, which are then projected back into urban space to convey
individual and shared meanings, identities and purposes. Such diverse ways
of conceptualising space, which can sometimes be born out of resistance,
present another mode of understanding and experiencing the lived city.
Alleyways between urban renewal, cultural innovation, and social integration
Authors: Imai Heide
Published: January 2021

In times of globalization, ordinary places are increasingly contested and
fragmented urban experiences, resulting in these places being left behind
yet rediscovered, excluded yet revived, forgotten yet remembered. This
chapter explores alleyway networks in contemporary Tokyo and Seoul,
focusing on the roji (路地) and the golmok (골목) and the experiences of
the people who make use of these places, to offer an in-depth, sociological
portrait of these two contested cities. Providing multiple narratives of urban
change and renewal, the chapter questions the future of the alleyways,
its new actors, and its new possibilities, arguing that extraordinary cities
should reconsider ordinary places to develop sustainable and inclusive
urban areas.

La nécessité de porter un regard critique sur les recherches en psychologie est incontournable. Ce regard sur les études est possible par l’entremise de certaines connaissances sur les méthodologies en recherche, en saisissant bien les pours et les contres des méthodes prescrites par la recherche en termes de validité et de fidélité. Outre le plaisir que l’on peut trouver face à l’analyse de certaines études, il est d’autant plus essentiel de porter attention à des courants qui semblent anodins à première vue, mais qui ont pour but d’orienter et de structurer la recherche en psychologie. Ces courants « souterrains » de la psychologie agissent continuellement sur le flux d’études qui nous est accessible et ils sont, en quelque sorte, la clé qui nous permet d’accéder à une compréhension plus riche de la recherche en psychologie.
Un trouble à part entière ?
Authors: Le Bouthillier Jacques , Garneau Charles-Antoine
Published: January 2021

Internet a bouleversé nos habitudes et fait désormais partie intégrante de nos vies. En dépit de ses nombreux avantages, l’avènement de cette technologie a mené à l’apparition de certaines conséquences découlant de son utilisation. En effet, un nombre préoccupant de personnes montrent des signes de dépendance au monde virtuel et les jeunes de moins de 25 ans semblent particulièrement vulnérables. Cet article met l’accent sur les principales conséquences (1) biologiques, (2) psychologiques et (3) sociales de la cyberdépendance chez les adolescents et les jeunes adultes. Les connaissances actuelles révèlent que les conséquences biologiques, majoritairement indirectes, s’expliqueraient par les mauvaises habitudes de vie adoptées par les cyberdépendants. La cyberdépendance serait également associée au développement et au maintien de nombreux troubles psychologiques et psychiatriques comorbides. Les recherches montrent ensuite de multiples impacts de la cyberdépendance au niveau relationnel, autant sur le plan social, familial, conjugal, professionnel que financier. Malgré le fait que la cyberdépendance ne soit toujours pas répertoriée comme un trouble distinct, les écrits scientifiques reflètent bien l’ampleur de la problématique et les nombreuses conséquences qui peuvent en découler.
Reševanje ruske begunske problematike v Kraljevini SHS
Authors: Krasnić Petra Kim
Published: January 2021

V obdobju ruske državljanske vojne (1917 – 1922) in po uveljavitvi komunizma v Rusiji, je večje število ljudi (po različnih ocenah več kot milijon), privržencev prejšnjega carskega režima oz. nasprotnikov boljševizma, zapustilo Rusijo in emigriralo v tujino. Posledica tega eksodusa je bil izbruh ruske begunske krize, saj humanitarne organizacije in države, v katere so se priseljevali, niso bile pripravljene na sprejem tako velikega števila ljudi. Ruski begunci so zato večinoma živeli v revščini in pomankanju, brez pravnega varstva. Ob tem so se pojavili prvi pomembnejši poskusi reševanja krize in iskanje načinov mednarodne zaščite beguncev. Formalna mednarodna prizadevanja za pomoč ruskim beguncem so se začela leta 1921, ko je Mednarodni odbor Rdečega križa zaprosil Ligo narodov za pomoč. Večje organizirane skupine ruskih emigrantov so prišle tudi v Kraljevino SHS, kar je bilo za državo veliko breme, predvsem zaradi hude ekonomske situacije. V prispevku bo zato podrobneje preučen način njihovega obravnavanja in vključevanja, zlasti humanitarna pomoč in reševanje njihovega pravnega položaja.
Vloga Unrre pri oskrbi in repatriaciji jugoslovanskih razseljenih oseb v Italiji (1945–1947)

Jugoslavija je zahtevala repatriacijo razseljenih oseb neposredno po koncu spopadov, a mnoge so se vračale še v letih 1946 in 1947, precejšnje število pa je emigriralo v tretje države.
Prekletstvo številke 45

Konstituiranje slovenskega državnega zbora in vlade sredi devetdesetih let 20. stoletja je bilo globoko zaznamovano s tranzicijo in polariziranostjo političnega prostora. Članek časovno in prostorsko umesti zgodovinsko dogajanje, nato pa se posveti študiji primera sestavljanja državnega zbora in vlade. Osredotoči se na formalne plati procesa ter na neformalne dogovore, ki so bistveno zaznamovali proces konstituiranja. Takšna analiza razkrije globino polariziranosti med parlamentarnimi strankami. Politični diskurz je spleten okrog štirih identifikacijskih oznak, preko katerih se je polariziranost manifestirala. Levo usmerjene stranke z Liberalno demokracijo na čelu so same sebe razumele kot proevropske stranke, ki v slovenski prostor vnašajo normalnost Zahoda, medtem ko so se desno usmerjene Slovenska ljudska stranka, Slovenski krščanski demokrati ter Slovenska demokratska stranka poimenovale kot pomladne stranke. Prve so sebi nasprotne stranke razumele kot da ovirajo normalizacisjki proces, medtem ko so slednje levo usmerjenim strankam očitale kontinuiteto s socializmom ter jih označile za stare sile. Vsakokraten poraz desno usmerjenih strank (z nekajmesečno izjemo leta 2000) je okrepil negativni diskurz desnih strank, ki je do polnega izraza prišel po zaključeni tranziciji.

Članek obravnava delovanje Slovenske nacionalne stranke od njene ustanovitve do danes in temelji na njenih programskih dokumentih ter medijskem poročanju o njenem delovanju v okviru parlamenta in izven njega. V procesu analiziranja dokumentov se nakazujejo določene stalnice, ki stranko definirajo v slovenskem političnem prostoru in istočasno kažejo na določene spremembe njene javne podobe in politične orientacije. Kljub vsem spremembam pa analiza pokaže na dokaj izrazito doslednost ideoloških stališč, ki je stranki javno mnenje ni pripisovalo, je pa v marsičem tudi posledica lapidarnih argumentacij, ki so omogočale široko interpretacijo izhodišč tako na idejnem kot tudi na socialnogospodarskem področju.

Published: January 2021

This research has two main objetives: (1) to examine the effect of price, service quality and costumer satisfaction on costumer’s purchasing decision, (2) to test the mediation effects of the costumer satisfaction on the relations between product price and service quality on purchasing decision. Data was collected from 82 insurance company’s costumers using questionnaire, and hypothesis was tested using Smart- PLS 3.0. The findings reveal that (1) price, service quality and costumer satisfaction have direct and significant effect on costumer purchasing decision, (2) costumer satisfaction has an indirect and significant effect on the relationship between service quality and costumer’s purchasing decision, and (3) costumer satisfaction has no significant effect on the relationship between product price and costumer’s purchasing decision. The study enriches the existing empirical studies on product price, service quality, costumer satisfaction and purchasing decision in emerging market. The study also provides practical implications to service industry managers to enhance costumer satisfaction and purchasing decision, ultimately increasing market share and organisation profits by considering service quality and product price.

The objectives of this study are: (1) To identify and explain the push and pull factors which influence on tourists’ behavioural intention (2) To identify the influence of push and pull factors on tourist satisfaction; (3) To investigate and explain regarding role of tourist satisfaction as the mediation that will have an effect between push and pull factors on tourists’ behavioural intention. The findings show that push factors positively significant on tourists’ behavioural intention, but pull factors is not significant on tourists’ behavioural intention. Furthermore, the push factors are not significant influencing on tourist satisfaction, however, pull factors significantly influence the tourist satisfaction, and tourist satisfaction positevly significant on tourists’ behavioural intention. In medition effect test, the result indicated that tourist satisfaction significantly mediated the relationships between push factors and tourists’ behavioural intention. On the other hand, tourist satisfaction is also significantly mediating pull factors and tourists’ behavioural intention.

Abstract. The realization of the difficulty of limiting global-mean
temperatures to within 1.5 or 2.0 ∘C above
pre-industrial levels stipulated by the 21st Conference of Parties in
Paris has led to increased interest in solar radiation management (SRM)
techniques. Proposed SRM schemes aim to increase planetary albedo to reflect
more sunlight back to space and induce a cooling that acts to partially
offset global warming. Under the auspices of the Geoengineering Model
Intercomparison Project, we have performed model experiments whereby global
temperature under the high-forcing SSP5-8.5 scenario is reduced to follow
that of the medium-forcing SSP2-4.5 scenario. Two different mechanisms to
achieve this are employed: the first via a reduction in the solar constant
(experiment G6solar) and the second via modelling injections of sulfur
dioxide (experiment G6sulfur) which forms sulfate aerosol in the
stratosphere. Results from two state-of-the-art coupled Earth system models
(UKESM1 and CESM2-WACCM6) both show an impact on the North Atlantic
Oscillation (NAO) in G6sulfur but not in G6solar. Both models show a
persistent positive anomaly in the NAO during the Northern Hemisphere winter
season in G6sulfur, suggesting an increase in zonal flow and an increase in
North Atlantic storm track activity impacting the Eurasian continent and leading
to high-latitude warming over Europe and Asia. These results are broadly
consistent with previous findings which show similar impacts from
stratospheric volcanic aerosol on the NAO and emphasize that detailed
modelling of geoengineering processes is required if accurate impacts of SRM
effects are to be simulated. Differences remain between the two models in
predicting regional changes over the continental USA and Africa, suggesting
that more models need to perform such simulations before attempting to draw
any conclusions regarding potential continental-scale climate change under
SRM.
Improving cloud type classification of ground-based images using region covariance descriptors

Published: January 2021

Abstract. The distribution and frequency of occurrence of different
cloud types affect the energy balance of the Earth. Automatic cloud type
classification of images continuously observed by the ground-based imagers
could help climate researchers find the relationship between cloud type
variations and climate change. However, by far it is still a huge challenge
to design a powerful discriminative classifier for cloud categorization. To
tackle this difficulty, in this paper, we present an improved method with
region covariance descriptors (RCovDs) and the Riemannian bag-of-feature (BoF) method.
RCovDs model the correlations among different dimensional features, which
allows for a more discriminative representation. BoF is extended from
Euclidean space to Riemannian manifold by k-means clustering, in which Stein
divergence is adopted as a similarity metric. The histogram feature is
extracted by encoding RCovDs of the cloud image blocks with a BoF-based
codebook. The multiclass support vector machine (SVM) is utilized for the
recognition of cloud types. The experiments on the ground-based cloud image
datasets show that a very high prediction accuracy (more than 98 % on two
datasets) can be obtained with a small number of training samples, which
validate the proposed method and exhibit the competitive performance against
state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract. In this study, we report on the retrieval of aerosol extinction profiles from ground-based scattered sunlight multi-axis differential optical
absorption spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) measurements, carried out at Athens, Greece. It is the first time that aerosol profiles are retrieved from
MAX-DOAS measurements in Athens. The reported aerosol vertical distributions at 477 nm are derived from the oxygen dimer (O4)
differential-slant-column-density observations at different elevation angles by applying the BRemen Optimal estimation REtrieval for Aerosol and trace gaseS (BOREAS) retrieval algorithm. Four case studies have been
selected for validation purposes; the retrieved aerosol profiles and the corresponding aerosol optical depths (AODs) from the MAX-DOAS are compared
with lidar extinction profiles and with sun-photometric measurements (Aerosol Robotic Network, AERONET, observations), respectively. Despite the different approach of each
method regarding the retrieval of the aerosol information, the comparison with the lidar measurements at 532 nm reveals a very good
agreement in terms of vertical distribution, with r>0.90 in all cases. The AODs from the MAX-DOAS and the sun photometer (the latter at
500 nm) show a satisfactory correlation (with 0.45 < r < 0.7 in three out of the four cases). The comparison indicates that the
MAX-DOAS systematically underestimates the AOD in the cases of large particles (small Ångström exponent) and for measurements at small
relative azimuthal angles between the viewing direction and the sun. Better agreement is achieved in the morning, at large relative azimuthal
angles. Overall, the aerosol profiles retrieved from MAX-DOAS measurements are of good quality; thus, new perspectives are opened up for assessing
urban aerosol pollution on a long-term basis in Athens from continuous and uninterrupted MAX-DOAS measurements.

observations

Abstract. Thermodynamic profiles are often retrieved from the multi-wavelength brightness temperature observations made by microwave radiometers (MWRs) using regression methods (linear, quadratic approaches), artificial intelligence (neural networks), or physical-iterative methods. Regression and neural network methods are tuned to mean conditions derived from a climatological dataset of thermodynamic profiles collected nearby. In contrast, physical-iterative retrievals use a radiative transfer model starting from a climatologically reasonable value of temperature and water vapor, with the model run iteratively until the derived brightness temperatures match those observed by the MWR within a specified uncertainty. In this study, a physical-iterative approach is used to retrieve temperature and humidity profiles from data collected during XPIA (eXperimental Planetary boundary layer Instrument Assessment), a field campaign held from March to May 2015 at NOAA's Boulder Atmospheric Observatory (BAO) facility. During the campaign, several passive and active remote sensing instruments as well as in-situ platforms were deployed and evaluated to determine their suitability for the verification and validation of meteorological processes. Among the deployed remote sensing instruments was a multi-channel MWR, as well as two radio acoustic sounding systems (RASS), associated with 915-MHz and 449-MHz wind profiling radars. Having the possibility to combine the information provided by the MWR and RASS systems, in this study the physical-iterative approach is tested with different observational inputs: first using data from surface sensors and the MWR in different configurations, and then including data from the RASSs. These temperature retrievals are also compared to those derived by a neural network method, assessing their relative accuracy against 58 co-located radiosonde profiles. Results show that the combination of the MWR and RASS observations in the physical-iterative approach allows for a more accurate characterization of low-level temperature inversions, and that these retrieved temperature profiles match the radiosonde observations better than all other approaches, including the neural network, in the atmospheric layer between the surface and 5 km AGL. Specifically, in this layer of the atmosphere, both root mean square errors and standard deviations of the difference between radiosonde and retrievals that combine MWR and RASS are improved by ~0.5 °C compared to the other methods. Pearson correlation coefficients are also improved.
