Introducción: El licopeno es uno de los pigmentos carotenoides encontrados en la naturaleza. Este pigmento carotenoide no posee actividad de pro vitamina A; sin embargo, tiene un efecto protector contra radicales libres, siendo considerado un potente antiozidante. Objetivo: compilar la información disponible sobre la ingesta de licopeno y su posible acción como fotoprotector en la piel humana. Material y Métodos: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica en buscadores Medline, Lilacs y Scielo utilizando las palabras clave, licopeno, carotenoides y fotoenvejecimiento de la piel en portugués, inglés y español. Resultado: Para este estudio, se seleccionaron 265 artículos, 46 fueron incluidos y 219 fueron excluidos debido a que no cumplían con los criterios de elegibilidad. Conclusión: Los estudios expuestos en esta revisión demuestran que otros carotenoides, además del licopeno, tienen efecto fotoprotector. La fotoprotección ofrecida por la suplementación de licopeno es menor a la que ofrecen los protectores solares y por tanto no puede utilizarse como sustituto. Sin embargo, el conocimiento actual de las propiedades del licopeno puede servir en un futuro para desarrollar algún fotoprotector de administración oral.

Published: September 2020

O termo câncer se refere à uma variedade de doenças tendo em comum o crescimento desordenado de células, com efeitos agressivos e hostis ao hospedeiro. Os estágios da carcinogênese têm sido constantemente correlacionados ao estresse oxidativo. Substâncias de capacidade antioxidante, à nível molecular e celular, aparentam serem eficazes no combate aos radicais livres exacerbadamente produzidos no decorrer da doença e tratamento de diferentes tipos de câncer. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar os possíveis impactos da utilização de compostos bioativos antioxidantes como parte da terapia nutricional aplicada ao paciente oncológico em tratamento quimioterápico e/ou radioterápico. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa. Como critérios de seleção, foram inclusos artigos que abordassem experimentos com pacientes oncológicos com idade entre 20-65 anos, de ambos sexos, com relatos de consumo de alimentos fonte e/ou suplementos alimentares administrados oralmente, compostos por substâncias antioxidantes, sendo utilizados e/ou consumidos durante o tratamento quimio e/ou radioterápico do indivíduo. Como substâncias antioxidantes foram consideradas as vitaminas A, C e E, e os minerais zinco e selênio. Os achados sugerem que a suplementação oral de vitaminas e minerais antioxidantes no paciente oncológico, em sua maioria, apresentam resultados positivos na amenização de efeitos adversos gerados pela quimio e radioterapia utilizadas como tratamento antineoplásico. Especificamente, os resultados referentes à suplementação oral de zinco em pacientes sendo tratados de câncer de cabeça e pescoço, apresentando resultados positivos referentes a condições relacionadas à cavidade oral foram mais frequentes. Apesar de promissores os resultados provenientes da terapia nutricional com antioxidantes aplicada ao paciente em tratamento antineoplásico, associações entre todos os micronutrientes estudados e possíveis efeitos benéficos devem ser aprofundados através de estudos experimentais de metodologia rigorosamente controlada, dentro de condições viáveis. As limitações apresentadas e a grande possibilidade de combinações entre estes nutrientes e terapias antineoplásicas devem ser levadas em consideração.

Ground-based Temperature and Humidity Profiling: Combining Active and Passive Remote Sensors
Authors: Turner David D. , Löhnert Ulrich
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Thermodynamic profiles in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) are important observations for a range of atmospheric research and operational needs. These profiles can be retrieved from passively sensed spectral infrared (IR) or microwave (MW) radiance observations, or can be more directly measured by active remote sensors such as water vapor differential absorption lidars (DIALs). This paper explores the synergy of combining ground-based IR, MW, and DIAL observations using an optimal estimation retrieval framework, quantifying the reduction in the uncertainty in the retrieved profiles and the increase in information content as additional observations are added to IR-only and MW-only retrievals. This study uses ground-based observations collected during the Perdigao field campaign in central Portugal in 2017 and during the DIAL demonstration campaign at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Southern Great Plains site in 2017. The results show that the information content in both temperature and water vapor is higher for IR instrument relative to the MW instrument (thereby resulting in smaller uncertainties), and that the combined IR+MW retrieval is very similar to the IR-only retrieval below 1.5 km. However, including the partial profile of water vapor observed by the DIAL increases the information content in the combined IR+DIAL and MW+DIAL water vapor retrievals substantially, with the exact impact vertically depending on the characteristics of the DIAL instrument itself. Furthermore, there is slight increase in the information content in the retrieved temperature profile using the IR+DIAL relative to the IR-only; this was not observed in the MW+DIAL retrieval.
An improved mechanistic model for ammonia volatilization in Earth system models: Flow of Agricultural Nitrogen version 2 (FANv2)
Authors: Vira Julius , Hess Peter , Melkonian Jeff , Wieder William R.
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Volatilization of ammonia (NH3) from fertilizers and livestock wastes forms a significant pathway of nitrogen losses in agricultural
ecosystems and constitutes the largest source of atmospheric emissions of NH3. This paper describes a major update to the process model FAN
(Flow of Agricultural Nitrogen), which evaluates NH3 emissions interactively within an Earth system model; in this work, the Community
Earth System Model (CESM) is used. The updated version (FANv2) includes a more detailed treatment of both physical and agricultural processes, which
allows the model to differentiate between the volatilization losses from animal housings, manure storage, grazed pastures, and the application of
manure and different types of mineral fertilizers. The modeled ammonia emissions are first evaluated at a local scale against experimental data for
various types of fertilizers and manure, and they are subsequently run globally to evaluate NH3 emissions for 2010–2015 based on gridded datasets of
fertilizer use and livestock populations. Comparison of regional emissions shows that FANv2 agrees with previous inventories for North America and
Europe and is within the range of previous inventories for China. However, due to higher NH3 emissions in Africa, India, and Latin America,
the global emissions simulated by FANv2 (48 Tg N) are 30 %–40 % higher than in the existing inventories.
Inmigración, fronteras y 'raza' en América Latina (siglos XIX y XX)
Authors: Pagnotta Chiara
Published: September 2020

Entre las novedades que la modernidad trajo consigo hay dos fenómenos estrictamente ligados y que caracterizaron la época: la definición de las fronteras de los Estados y la individualización de los actores sociales. Los vínculos anteriores -ya fueran familiares, locales o religiosos- se disolvieron, dando al individuo una libertad nunca antes vista. Esta se ejemplificó tanto en las migraciones masivas que tuvieron lugar a finales del siglo XIX como en la progresiva búsqueda de nuevas cohesiones sociales por parte  de los individuos y, asimismo, por parte  de los Estados, que trataron de establecer las filiaciones de los individuos en el interior de sus fronteras.
'Peut-on Être Libanais et Brésilien?': La desaparición de los inmigrantes otomanos y la negociación de la identidad nacional y ciudadanía brasileña en Siria y el Líbano durante los años 30s
Authors: Najar José D.
Published: September 2020

El objetivo de este trabajo es el de explorar el proceso circular de inmigración de los antiguos inmigrantes otomanos a Brasil y mostrar cómo su categorización como blancos, en su nueva patria, les ayudo a redefinir su sentido de ciudadanía en Brasil y en el Levante. En la década de 1930, cuando los burócratas del estado desistieron del sueño largamente esperado de una raza blanca brasileña, nuevas ideas sobre raza, color y etnicidad sostuvieron un discurso nacional emergente: Democracia Racial. Durante esta redefinición de raza/color, los antiguos inmigrantes otomanos, indiferentemente de su fe, negociaron constantemente su condición de inmigrantes blancos. Para miembros comunitarios, de toda religión, la negociación de su estatus en nación brasileña era una tarea transnacional. Durante los años 30s del mandato francés en Siria y el Líbano, brasileños naturalizados y sus descendientes no sólo reafirmaron su brasilidade, sino que continuaron identificándose como blancos. La idea de una “doble ciudadanía”, brasileña y libanesa o siria, abrió un debate donde los ciudadanos brasileños tuvieron que confrontar el poder de los diferentes estados, que conjuntamente promulgaron leyes para producir ciudadanos leales a una sola nación. En resumen, los antiguos súbditos otomanos han sido centrales en la construcción de la raza y la ciudadanía al difuminar las líneas/fronteras encontradas a nivel mundial.
Cambio en el régimen de gobierno: un conflicto en la Provincia peruana de la Compañía de Jesús (1697-1703)

Este texto analiza el conflicto que dividió la Provincia peruana de la Compañía de Jesús entre los años de 1697 y 1703. Su objetivo es doble. Por una parte, se trata de recalcar el interés para la investigación sobre Ordenes o corporaciones de herramientas procedentes del análisis de redes o de la sociología de las organizaciones. Por otra, pretende matizar el valor explicativo del criollismo, proponiendo a la luz del caso estudiado otro patrón interpretativo para las décadas finales del siglo XVII.
'Allá está de balde y aquí me serviría'. La circulación capilar de libros en guaraní en el Paraguay, el Río de la Plata y el espacio atlántico (siglo XVIII)
Authors: Vega Fabián R.
Published: September 2020

Este artículo analiza la distribución de libros en guaraní a lo largo del Río de la Plata y el Paraguay. Las misiones ubicadas en los ríos Paraná y Uruguay eran el territorio central de producción y uso de estos materiales. Sin embargo, el objetivo de este artículo es explorar la menos conocida circulación externa de los libros y evaluar su radio de alcance. ¿Qué tan extendida estuvo esta circulación? ¿Qué libros se distribuyeron y cuáles no? ¿Cuáles fueron las razones? ¿Cuál fue el rol jugado por los misioneros y especialmente los jesuitas? Las fuentes principales para este análisis son los inventarios de las bibliotecas jesuíticas, la mayoría de ellos escritos en el contexto de la expulsión de los jesuitas de la monarquía hispánica (1767-1768). Aunque cuantitativamente escasa, esta circulación tuvo un alto grado de capilaridad. Los libros llegaron a todas las ciudades y misiones relevantes de la región e incluso a Europa. Tanto las redes misionales como las prácticas educativas cumplieron un rol relevante para explicar esta distribución capilar. Especialmente, los jesuitas de toda la provincia del Paraguay estaban obligados a aprender idiomas indígenas. En este sentido, la distribución de libros sugiere que la lengua guaraní era la lengua general colonial del territorio.
La Colombie sur la scène internationale durant l’entre-deux-guerres: motivations et enjeux
Authors: Casas García Christian Camilo
Published: September 2020

L’entre-deux-guerres est une période où les échanges entre la Colombie et le reste du monde connurent un développement remarquable malgré l’état de subordination de sa diplomatie à l’égard de la politique étrangère des États-Unis, son principal partenaire économique. De ce fait, pour le gouvernement colombien, la lutte contre les impérialismes constitua un des piliers de sa politique étrangère, en appelant au renforcement de la coopération régionale et à la mobilisation de l’expertise internationale pour le développement matériel et humain des États latino-américains. Influencées par l’optimisme né à Versailles avec les idéaux wilsoniens, les différentes administrations qui se succédèrent durant cette période cherchèrent à caractériser la réalité régionale et renforcer les institutions étatiques pour la réalisation d’un projet de démocratie humaniste.

El Principio de Responsabilidades Comunes pero Diferenciadas
Authors: Cerda Dueñas Carlos
Published: September 2020

Este artículo analiza el progreso histórico del Principio de Responsabilidades Comunes pero Diferenciadas, sus orígenes en el terreno del Derecho Económico; su transición al Derecho Ambiental y los esfuerzos que los países en desarrollo realizan por su ingreso y consolidación al terreno jurídico de la cooperación internacional para el desarrollo. El activismo que los países en desarrollo, especialmente los categorizados como Países de Renta Media, han desplegado para obtener el reconocimiento del principio, se debe a que ostentan altos niveles de pobreza e inequidad y actualmente no reciben o reciben menos Ayuda Oficial al Desarrollo, pero sobre todo radica en la indicación que se les ha hecho de la obligación de actuar como donantes y asumir responsabilidades en material de desarrollo.

La sucesión por causa de muerte en el sistema chileno de Derecho internacional privado
Authors: Picand Albónico Eduardo
Published: September 2020

Las sucesiones por causa de muerte conectadas con más de un ordenamiento jurídico –sucesiones internacionales- han aumentado significativamente durante los últimos años producto de la libre circulación de personas, bienes y capitales. El fenómeno de la inmigración en Chile ha sido un factor fundamental para el aumento de las relaciones privadas internacionales. En efecto, nuestro país se ha convertido durante los últimos años en un país de acogida para muchos extranjeros de diversos países del mundo, fenómeno que ha transformado a la sociedad chilena en una sociedad multicultural. A su vez, muchos chilenos se han trasladado a vivir al extranjero formando nuevas familias, siendo habitual que sus bienes se encuentren situados en distintos Estados. Ante el fenómeno de la inmigración, las sucesiones internacionales se han complejizado, siendo fundamental para los operadores jurídicos la determinación del tribunal competente y de la ley aplicable. El legislador chileno (Código Civil de 1855) sigue en esta materia el principio de unidad y universalidad de la sucesión por causa de muerte, de modo tal que los herederos son continuadores del causante y por tanto sólo debe existir una única sucesión, con independencia del lugar donde se encuentren los bienes. La norma fundamental es el artículo 955 del Código Civil que sujeta la sucesión a la ley del último domicilio del causante. Este mismo criterio es recogido para regular la competencia judicial internacional.
La Anfictionía Pileo-Délfica y la solución judicial de controversias interestatales en el mundo griego clásico: ¿Un antecedente antiguo de la Corte Internacional de Justicia?
Authors: Buis Emiliano Jeronimo
Published: September 2020

¿En qué medida la experiencia griega antigua puede servir para comprender el sistema de solución pacífica de controversias del derecho internacional actual? Este trabajo pretende recuperar la experiencia normativa de la Anfictionía Pileo-Délfica en tiempos clásicos (s. V y IV a.C.) para ilustrar los fundamentos, la utilidad y los beneficios de recurrir a medios jurisdiccionales institucionalizados de resolución de diferendos. En los cruces entre derecho interestatal y religión panhelénica, por un lado, y entre las decisiones anfictiónicas y la justicia doméstica de cada pólis, por el otro, el ejemplo griego descripto permite alertar acerca del uso político de las organizaciones de la época, de la manipulación diplomática de sus órganos y del papel significativo de las ligas en términos de obtención de prestigio y consagración hegemónica.

El Proyecto de Ley de Cooperación entre el Estado de Chile y la Corte Penal Internacional que el ejecutivo ha ingresado en la Cámara de Diputados el 15 de mayo de 2020, al prever la naturaleza dual del procedimiento de cooperación -con el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores actuando entre la Corte y los órganos del Estado que pueden ejecutar la cooperación que se solicita, introduce un elemento de política exterior a la cooperación con la Corte Penal Internacional que matiza la descripción que el mensaje hace del proyecto como el producto de un trabajo técnico. Por otra parte, dista de ser claro que se valga de los mecanismos técnicamente más aptos para cumplir con la obligación de cooperación plena y sin dilación que tiene Chile respecto de la Corte Penal Internacional, adquirida al momento de obligarse como Estado Parte de su trabajo fundante, pues los procedimientos previstos encierran posibilidades de demora en el cumplimiento de las solicitudes. Se ponen de relieve cuestiones corregibles durante la tramitación.

The study followed a cross-sectional study design and a structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 181 university level students studying in different public and private sector universities. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were used to present the findings. Results of the analysis indicated marked positive perceptions of students towards the role of internet in learning Englishes and language skills. Majority of students, considered internet as a useful tool and a learning platform that could help them in understanding and identifying the differences between British and American Englishes. Besides, most of the responses indicated an insignificant relation between students’ perceptions of World Englishes and the role of internet. Jordanian University students discovered the potential importance of internet in learning English language skills and World Englishes and, therefore, internet is considered helpful in developing their self-learning skills, self-confidence, and it also influences their learning attitude, and strengthens their linguistic skills. 
A Psycholinguistic Study of Political Rhetoric of Fear
Authors: Khalid Al-Gublan Badriah , Rice Linda J.
Published: September 2020

Political campaigns are dynamic struggles between candidates to define the informational context for voters. Early studies (Kaid, 1981, 1994a, 1994b) suggested that political advertising has cognitive and behavioral effects on voters. It communicates the brand promise of a candidate blending functional and emotional benefits that voters gain from their relationships with a candidate.

This study, based on Lakoff’s Framing Model (LFM, 2004), proposes a pragmatic model for the analysis of a political election rhetoric. Within this pragmatic model, it is shown that in such a rhetoric the process of choosing variables of mental and psychological strategies is used. Such a process can be understood as the outcome of producers’ choice making, dynamic negotiation and linguistic adaptation. The analysis of a political discourse makes it possible to see how frames are powerful rhetorical entities that motivate audience to filter their perceptions of the world. It presents evidences to the claim that a candidate’s speech using ‘rhetoric of fear’ appeals to the audience. Contradicted reactions appear: some audience react feeling ‘fearful’ while others respond feeling ‘protected’ or ‘heard’ that a candidate is listening to their concerns and willing to fulfil them. It also shows how the institutionalized use of strategy language has implications: some of these emerge from the genre itself while others derive from situation; specific choices.

Published: September 2020

Purpose: There is need to focus on extensive use of technology in teaching and learning process, since the teachers are provided with well-organized WebQuests that are beneficial for developing effective teaching skills. The study aims to investigate the extent of the effects of WebQuests on the teaching skills and performance of pre-service teachers of English at the College of Education of King Khalid University. Methodology: The study sample, which included 35 students of the general diploma in English, were divided into two groups: experimental and control. The members of the control group were supervised in the traditional way during their teaching practice, and the members of the experimental group were given WebQuests so that they could surf the internet under the guidance of their supervisor and find the information they needed about teaching skills. The teaching performance of the teachers of both groups was assessed via a teaching performance observation form. The data collected through classroom observation was analyzed using SPSS. The differences between the teachers of both the groups in terms of the teaching skills were calculated using Mann-Whitney U test. Findings: Statistically significant differences were found in the rank means of the participants of the control and the experimental groups regarding their lesson planning and teaching skills. The results were favorable for the teachers of the experimental group; however, no significant difference was found between the scores of the experimental and the control groups in terms of lesson evaluation skills. Originality: The use of WebQuests significantly enhances the teaching skills of the students of the general diploma in English.
Women’s Resistance in Palestinian Autobiographies from a Feminist Perspective Suad Amiry’s Sharon and My Mother in Law
Authors: Jarrad Samah A. F.
Published: September 2020

This paper aims to explore the role of Palestinian women in resisting both occupation and male dominance through keeping dairies that have acquired the quality of autobiographies and have been circulated widely. The main focus of this paper is Suad Amri’s autobiography Sharon and my Mother in Law in which she tries to highlight both the feminist and the resistance aspects of her life in Ramallah eventually becoming representative of the lives of all women in Palestine. The research concludes that the identity of the colonized is shaped by their collective memory which is affected by their resistance narrative. The results also show that through their writing, Palestinian women have managed to reclaim their creative space and to challenge the limitations imposed on them by both occupation and patriarchy.

Like Mother, Like Daughter?

This article scrutinises local-national linkage in Belgium to better understand territorial power relations in multilevel parties. Drawing on a survey of local chairs of national parties, it adopts an innovative, informal and bottom-up approach. The descriptive analysis reveals two central axes in the morphology of linkage: scope (downward support and upward influence) and surplus (benefits versus costs). However, (the valuation of) this interdependence appears as a matter of degree. The explanatory analysis therefore probes into the effect of macro- (between environments), meso- (between parties) and micro- (within parties) level factors. It demonstrates that variance is explained by different parameters. For scope, differences between parties trump those within them. For surplus, specific differences between parties as well as within them matter. The answer to our guiding question is therefore variegated: it depends on for what and for whom.

Getting Party Activists on Local Lists

This article examines what explains the performance of Dutch local party branches in the recruitment of candidates for municipal councils. Fielding a list of candidates is the most basic function of political parties. In the Netherlands, party branches are under pressure from the low number of party members. To analyse how branches fulfil their role in recruitment, we employ our own survey of the secretaries of party branches held in the run-up to the 2018 municipal election. We find that party membership drives the successful fulfilment of the recruitment function but that, more than the absolute number of members, the crucial factors are how these party members cooperate, the number of active members and the development of this number.

Who’s keeping an eye on them? Changes in monitoring during emerging adulthood

In this study we examine whether parental monitoring remains a protective factor in the lives of emerging adults, as well as the extent to which monitoring in other settings replaces the protective role of the parents. We use data collected for the TransAM project, a longitudinal survey of 970 emerging adults (18-24 years) to examine monitoring in a range of different contexts using an instrument based on Stattin and Kerr’s parental monitoring scale (2000). Results indicate that whilst parental control plays a protective role in the first years of emerging adulthood, we find no evidence that monitoring in other settings replaces the protective role of parents. However, monitoring of the self, i.e., self-control, has an increasingly strong relationship with delinquency during emerging adulthood.
Consumer dispositions in multicultural contexts: a framework proposition
Authors: Salomao Miriam Tais , Moraes Sergio Garrido , Porto-da-Rocha Mariana Bussab , Strehlau Vivian Iara
Published: September 2020

Objetivo: A globalização tem levado à formação de fluxos culturais através das fronteiras nacionais, resultando em diferentes comportamentos em relação ao consumo de produtos estrangeiros. O objetivo deste estudo é organizar alguns dos construtos que descrevem as disposições do consumidor em contextos multiculturais, rastreando a literatura disponível sobre essas disposições e propondo um quadro conceitual. Metodologia: Foi adotada uma perspectiva conceitual, onde uma revisão sistemática da literatura foi utilizada para organizar as disposições do ingroup e outgroup.Principais resultados: Identificou-se que o estudo das disposições do consumidor é um tema relativamente recente na literatura acadêmica, tendo 35 anos desde o primeiro artigo publicado, sendo 53% deles publicados a partir de 2016. Além disso, os estudos sobre as disposições do ingroup estão em um estágio mais maduro do que aqueles sobre as disposições do outgroup.Originalidade: Os autores propõem uma estrutura bidimensional que combina as perspectivas pró e anti das disposições.Contribuições teóricas: Além da perspectiva pró já presente na literatura, esta pesquisa propõe a combinação dos aspectos pró e anti, chamando a atenção para uma posição neutra do consumidor. Os autores também recomendam a inclusão do exotismo como uma disposição pro-outgroup no comportamento do consumidor.

Objetivo: Analisar a influência de blogs na decisão de compra de produtos de moda e beleza e identificar as principais características das consumidoras mais suscetíveis a esses estímulos.Metodologia: Os procedimentos metodológicos consistiram em levantamento bibliográfico seguido de pesquisa empírica e análise de dados com emprego de regressão múltipla.Resultados: As principais características das consumidoras mais suscetíveis aos estímulos de blogs de moda e beleza ao consumo estão associadas àquelas que valorizam plataformas on-line, passam a investir mais em produtos por influência de blogs, desistem de comprar um produto também por influência de blogs e tomam conhecimento de novos produtos pelos blogs.Contribuições teóricas: A pesquisa contribui para o avanço da literatura de marketing digital à medida que identifica a influência dos blogs no consumo de produtos de moda e beleza, bem como as características das consumidoras mais suscetíveis a esse estímulo. Relevância/Originalidade: O estudo amplia teórica e empiricamente o entendimento sobre a utilização dos blogs como ferramentas de estímulo e influência no consumo de produtos de moda e beleza e identifica as principais características das consumidoras mais suscetíveis a esse estímulo.Implicações para a gestão: O estudo espera contribuir para que os profissionais de marketing considerem os blogs como importante ferramenta de divulgação de novos produtos, estímulo ao consumo ou até como fonte de obtenção de customer insights, identificando, também, o perfil das consumidoras mais influenciáveis pela ferramenta.
Om å tre inn som en feil i samtalen
Authors: Oliv Myhr Rannveig
Published: September 2020

I denne artikkelen drøfter jeg hvordan det kan være utfordrende for elever å skulle gi et språklig uttrykk for en religiøs tro i de sivile offentlige samtaler i skolen og hvordan det i sammenheng med det kan tolkes som en demokratisk handling å trekke seg ut av samtaler i skolen. Jeg benytter meg i artikkelen av eksempel på troserfaringer hentet fra skjønnlitteratur og essays for å billedliggjøre noen av de utfordringer elever med en religiøs tro kan stå overfor i skolens offentlige samtaler hvis religiøse troserfaringer skal språkliggjøres.

Adaptive density peak clustering based on dimensional-free and reverse k-nearest neighbors

Cluster analysis plays a crucial component in consumer behavior segment. The density peak clustering algorithm (DPC) is a novel density-based clustering method. However, it performs poorly in high-dimension datasets and the local density for boundary points. In addition, its fault tolerance is affected by one-step allocation strategy. To overcome these disadvantages, an adaptive density peak clustering algorithm based on dimensional-free and reverse k-nearest neighbors (ERK-DPC) is proposed in this paper. First, we compute Euler cosine distance to obtain the similarity of sample points in high-dimension datasets. Then, the adaptive local density formula is used to measure the local density of each point. Finally, the reverse k-nearest neighbor idea is added on two-step allocation strategy, which assigns the remaining points accurately and effectively. The proposed clustering algorithm is experiments on several benchmark datasets and real-world datasets. By comparing the benchmarks, the results demonstrate that the ERK-DPC algorithm superior to some state-of- the-art methods.
Finite-Time Consensus Using an Adaptive Terminal Sliding Mode Control Subjected to Input Saturation
Authors: Ren Ming , HUANG Heyan , Mirabdollahi Esmaiel
Published: September 2020

In this paper, finite-time consensus of double-integrator multi-agent systems is investigated. A new adaptive-terminal sliding mode control is proposed to satisfy the goal within a finite time by considering disturbances and input saturation. The problem is solved for two cases. In the first case, the agents are subjected to disturbances with known upper bounds and input saturation parameters. For the case, the control inputs are designed based on a terminal sliding mode technique to achieve the consensus aim within the finite time as a summation of settling and reaching times. Then, a fast terminal sliding mode control is applied and the control inputs are modified to reduce the high dependency of reaching times to initial speeds. In the second case, the upper disturbance bounds are unknown. To handle this problem, the control laws are adopted by an adaptive-terminal sliding mode method. The upper bounds of disturbances are estimated in the finite time. In both cases, the maximum control efforts are adjusted to always be less than the saturation boundary by optional tuning parameters. The proposed methods efficiency is verified by numerical simulations.
Neuer Terrorismus – Reale Bedrohung oder konstruiertes Forschungsparadigma?
Authors: Klein Julia
Published: September 2020

Using a qualitative study, in which she evaluates 142,000 terrorist attacks, the author of this book, Julia Klein, investigates the existence of the research paradigm ‘new terrorism’. She delves into the media, political and academic discourse on this subject and identifies changes in behaviour among terrorist organisations. Her evaluation of the volume of data on terrorist attacks verifies whether a new form of terrorism has existed since the beginning of the 1990s. This also reveals the influence of certain individuals on the debate, and the author is able to demonstrate that, above all, the importance of religion in providing terrorists with an ideological incentive to perpetrate their attacks has been overestimated.
