Of Partisans and Paranoid Experts
Authors: Bourg Julian
Published: September 2017

Beginning in the 1970s, terrorism became an object of contested expert knowledge. Fears over this moralized and loosely defined phenomenon emerged at the very moment that Western states achieved a certain monopoly over legitimate political violence. This politico-epistemological framing itself drew on postwar counterinsurgency doctrine (COIN) that had enabled a shift from the figure of the allied partisan to the unconscionable terrorist. Terrorism as an object of knowledge thus fits within a longer story of Western military attempts—from late nineteenth-century colonialism through the early twentieth-century American revival of COIN in Iraq—to tame uncontrollable, asymmetrical threats in part by knowing them.
The Militarization of Language: Cryptographic Politics and the War of All against All
Authors: Golumbia David
Published: September 2017

The question of the militarization of language emerges from the politics surrounding cryptography, or the use of encryption in contemporary networked digital technology, and the intersection of encryption with the politics of language. Ultimately, cryptographic politics aims to embody at a foundational level a theory of language that some recent philosophers, including Charles Taylor and Philip Pettit, locate partly in the writings of Thomas Hobbes. As in Hobbes's political theory, this theory of language is closely tied to the conception of political sovereignty as necessarily absolute and as the only available alternative to absolute sovereignty being a state of nature (or more accurately what Pettit 2008 calls a “second state of nature,” one in which language plays a key role). In that state of nature, the only possible political relation is what Hobbes calls a war of “all against all.” While Hobbes intended that image as a justification for the quasi-absolute power of the political sovereign, those who most vigorously pursue cryptographic politics appear bent on realizing it as a welcome sociopolitical goal. To reject that vision, we need to adopt a different picture of language and of sovereignty itself, a less individualistic picture that incorporates a more robust sense of shared and community responsibility and that entails serious questions about the political consequences of the cryptographic program.
Trade Liberalization and Regional Dynamics
Authors: Dix-Carneiro Rafael , Kovak Brian K.
Published: September 2017

We study the evolution of trade liberalization's effects on Brazilian local labor markets. Regions facing larger tariff cuts experienced prolonged declines in formal sector employment and earnings relative to other regions. The impact of tariff changes on regional earnings 20 years after liberalization was three times the effect after 10 years. These increasing effects on regional earnings are inconsistent with conventional spatial equilibrium models, which predict declining effects due to spatial arbitrage. We investigate potential mechanisms, finding empirical support for a mechanism involving imperfect interregional labor mobility and dynamics in labor demand, driven by slow capital adjustment and agglomeration economies. This mechanism gradually amplifies the effects of liberalization, explaining the slow adjustment path of regional earnings and quantitatively accounting for the magnitude of the long-run effects.

News Shocks and the Slope of the Term Structure of Interest Rates: Reply
Authors: Kurmann André , Otrok Christopher
Published: September 2017

This reply to Cascaldi-Garcia's (2017) comment argues that by using the original code of Kurmann and Otrok (2013) with new data on utilization-adjusted TFP, Cascaldi-Garcia (2017) confounds positive and negative news shocks. With a small modification to the code—how a news shock is signed as positive—we obtain news shock responses consistent with Sims (2016) and Kurmann and Sims (2017) and largely reestablish the results of Kurmann and Otrok (2013).

The Future of Toronto’s Nuit blanche
Authors: MacGregor Gwen
Published: September 2017

This article outlines the stages that have led up to the current Nuit blanche visual art festival in Toronto struggling with its own success. I will begin by addressing the City’s whole-hearted acceptance of Richard Florida’s ‘creative class’ theory and its relationship with the festival. Toronto’s acceptance of the Floridian understanding of culture as an economic driver has made the Scotiabank Nuit blanche festival vulnerable to influences that have nothing to do with creative criticality. Pierre Bourdieu’s understanding of fields will be used to understand how these organizational changes make the festival vulnerable to unintended or even undesirable changes in the way the audience interacts with the artworks. Finally I will offer a possible strategy of how to shift the future direction of the festival using M. de Certeau’s writing ‘Walking in the city’ and Reynolds and Fitzpatrick’s further articulation of ‘transversality’1 to allow for more diversification in viewership and the artworks themselves.

Owning the city: Civic art’s historical practice and contemporary meaning in Yangon
Authors: Morley Ian
Published: September 2017

In recent decades studies on urban development in South East (SE) Asia have focused on a few cities at the expense of overlooking others. Consequently in comparison to some of the region’s metropolises relatively little is known about Rangoon even though its population is in excess of five million people, it is a fundamental component in the economic and cultural make-up of Burma – the largest country in mainland SE Asia, and is a locale rich in built heritage. Yet the existence of much of the city’s historic downtown district, an environment long recognized for its beauty, is now under serious threat. Vast numbers of colonial era edifices are in a state of disrepair. Others are derelict, and some have been condemned for demolition. However, with civil society in Burma undergoing reform as a consequence of political restructuring in 2011, attempts are now being made to formulate policy to safeguard Rangoon’s environmental and artistic integrity. One means by which this is being realized is via appreciating civic art.
Off with her head: The representation of women in public sculpture
Authors: Morris Brigit
Published: September 2017

Public statues and memorials play an important role in shaping collective memory and identity. This article explores the gendered dimension of public sculpture by examining two dominant constructs of women in public memorials: woman as victim and woman as tragic hero. The article will examine the ways in which gendered processes and relationships create, reproduce and transform public space. This article will argue that depictions of women in public sculpture and memorial influence discourses and representations about sex and gender.
Can art turn two publics (and) spaces into one? Joubert Park versus the Johannesburg Art Gallery in the inner City of Johannesburg
Authors: Guinard Pauline
Published: September 2017

Joubert Park is the biggest and oldest park in Johannesburg. Very attractive for white people since its foundation, this park – as the rest of the inner city – has been facing a cycle of decline from the late 1980s, marked by white flight, urban decay and violence. In the post-apartheid context, a fence was erected around the Johannesburg Art Gallery (JAG), the municipal museum adjacent to the park, to protect it from the supposedly ‘dangerous’ people living in the area. From then, two separate spaces and publics have emerged, separated from one another not only by a fence, but also by mutual fear. To address this socio-spatial division, several artists and JAG curators have been promoting art projects in order to reconnect the physical and social spaces of the gallery with the ones of the park, and vice versa. Analysing thanks to qualitative methods (mainly observations and interviews) three art interventions that happened in the park from 2005 to 2010, I argue that public art can be a means to reveal the symbolical barriers that structure urban spaces beyond the physical ones, to challenge them, and ultimately to produce a more inclusive city.
Planning a suburban public artscape: The case of Mississauga, Canada
Authors: Bain Alison , Verjee Zainub
Published: September 2017

This article critically examines the cultural planning and policy frameworks recently developed in the suburban municipality of Mississauga, now considered Canada’s sixth largest city, to ameliorate an impoverished public artscape. In the absence of a public art programme and a three-decades-long anti-art mayoral regime, Mississauga’s public artscape has emerged in an ad hoc manner with no rationale for the distribution of art within the city and no strategy for engaging and empowering diverse publics. An analysis of Mississauga’s first Culture Master Plan (2009) reveals that public art is treated as a straightforward mechanism for animating the public realm despite the lived suburban realities of significant spatial distances, high car dependence, nine-to-five commuting patterns, low foot traffic and enormous cultural diversity. A critique of the ensuing Framework for a Public Art Program (2010) report produced by the Culture Division is used to evaluate the most recent addition to Mississauga’s public art collection, the sculpture Buen Amigo (2011) by Chilean artist Francisco Gazitua. The sculpture was privately commissioned by the developers of the Absolute World luxury condominium 56-storey towers by Beijing architect Yansong Ma. The towers and the sculpture are intended to be landmarks that help to brand the suburban municipality as culturally sophisticated and economically dynamic. This article considers the spatial politics and interrelationships between the different urban actors involved in the selection of one work of public art and critically assesses the cultural policy frameworks that informed this decision-making process.
A work of two registers: Mukabele, private and public
Authors: Hamilton Mark James
Published: September 2017

The Mevlevi sema, usually described as the dance of the whirling dervishes, can be understood to be both a private transformational passage and a public performance with theatrical dimensions. The exceptional commitment and effort that it requires evolves a participant’s deep focus towards one’s interior. At the same time, the commitment to welcoming guests as witnesses to the ceremony ensures that the practice remains connected to the wider world. What is created through the balance of these two dimensions? What is made possible by the ceremony’s dynamic relationship, in which the participants’ immersion in personal transformation contributes towards an aesthetic composition for onlookers? I explore these questions with reference to the propositions of Jerzy Grotowski, whose transcultural vision seeded my three decades of embodied practice as research and my arrival at participation in the Mevlevi sema in London.
Cinema immemorial: “EMPIRE” and the experimental machinima of Phil Solomon
Authors: Yue Genevieve
Published: September 2017

Phil Solomon’s “EMPIRE” (2008/2012), an installation made in the videogame space of Grand Theft Auto, raises issues of memory and materiality as they pertain to the medium specificities of film and digital media. As a remake of Andy Warhol’s Empire (1964), the work addresses concerns pertinent to structural film of the 1960s and 1970s, including, on the one hand, the material fragility of film as a physical medium, and, on the other, the immaterial endurance of an idea of cinema. “EMPIRE” expresses structural film’s contradictory approaches to materiality in digital terms by using a videogame object that is temporally ‘indefinite’, as indicated in the work’s accompanying wall text. Additionally, as part of the series In Memoriam (Mark LaPore), “EMPIRE” is a work of mourning. As such, its indefinite running time offers a meditation on the temporality of memorials and the capacity of film, photography and digital media to realize the process of memorialization.
Retentive force comparison between esthetic and metal clasps for removable partial denture
Authors: Yamamoto Eron Toshio Colauto , Sato Tabata Prado , Da Silva João Mauricio Ferraz , Borges Alexandre Luiz Souto , Uemura Eduardo Shigueyuki
Published: September 2017

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the retention of acetate resin clasp as when compared to metal clasp. Material and methods: For this purpose, we constructed 10 conventional Co-Cr metal clasps (Ackers) and 20 acetate resin clasps. The acetate resin clasps had the opposition, support and retaining arms made of Co-Cr. Of the 20 esthetic clasps, 10 had the thickness of the retention arm decreased to make it more esthetic. The initial retentive force of the specimens was tested in a universal testing machine through tensile test.  After that, the specimens were subjected to 7,000 cycles, each one, in an adapted machine, immersed into artificial saliva, for 36 months of simulated clinical use of a removable partial denture. Data were tabulated for statistical analysis of the retention effectiveness. Results: After cycling, 3-mm-thick and 2-mm-thick acetate resin clasps lost more retention than metal clasps. The material type (p=0.0000) and cycling (p=0.0039) showed a significant effect, but the material/cycling interaction (p=0.1436) did not. Conclusions: Therefore, esthetic clasps presented retention force lower than that of metal clasps. Notwithstanding, the esthetic clasps can be used in clinical cases requiring minimum retention. KeywordsRemovable partial denture; Esthetic clasp; Metal clasp.
Politisiert in der Migration, vernetzt in der Stadt
Authors: Steinhilper Elias
Published: September 2017

Obwohl politischer Protest von Geflüchteten in den letzten Jahren zugenommen hat, sind bewegungstheoretische Analysen zum Thema weiterhin spärlich. Elias Steinhilper skizziert in seinem Beitrag basierend auf einer Fallstudie in Berlin, wie Geflüchtete trotz knapper Ressourcen und ungünstiger politischer Gelegenheitsstrukturen transnationalen Protest organisieren. In einem Brückenschlag aus transnationaler Migrations- und sozialer Bewegungsforschung wird argumentiert, dass dabei die Einbettung in lokale Unterstützungsstrukturen und in während der Migration entstandene transnationale Gemeinschaften zentral ist.
Zone line formation on artificial media and in hardwoods by basidiomycetes for production of spalted wood
Authors: Gantz Stephanie , Steudler Susanne , Delenk Hubertus , Wagenführ André , Bley Thomas
Published: September 2017

One of the visual modification of wood is the formation of dark zone lines (ZLs) via interaction of fungi. The result is called spalted wood, which has hitherto been produced mainly in small batches. The main goal of the present study is to further develop techniques for rapid formation of ZLs in hardwoods. Various white rot and brown rot fungi were tested to this purpose. Initially, interactions of 148 combinations of 17 basidiomycetes in malt extract agar were evaluated and their antagonistic interactions were characterised in order to identify fungal pairs capable of rapidly forming high-quality ZLs. Six types of interactions were observed, among others; antibiosis and inhibition in contact, which differ in terms of variables including mycelial overgrowth and zone line formation. Furthermore, 23 pairs of ZL forming fungi on malt extract agar were identified. Then the interactions of five selected pairs of fungi grown on the hardwood species Acer pseudoplatanus L., Betula pendula Roth. and Populus nigra L. were examined to assess their utility for controlled mycological wood modification, also in terms of a possible substrate dependency of their interactions. The results indicate that Lentinus tigrinus fungus is one of the best and quickest producer of ZLs in mycological wood modification.
Building to grow or growing to build: insights from Irish high-growth SMEs (HGSMEs)
Authors: Kidney Rachel , Harney Brian , O’Gorman Colm
Published: September 2017

Relative to the overall population of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), high-growth SMEs (HGSMEs) make a disproportionate contribution to economic growth. While research has identified factors that characterise HGSMEs, it is yet to provide a comprehensive explanation of the growth process. The purpose of the study is to identify specific growth events and examine how HGSMEs successfully transition through these periods in terms of operational (i.e. management systems and practices), structural, and strategic changes. Drawing from a descriptive profiling of Irish HGSMEs, four indepth case studies are presented. Analysis suggests a complex relationship between structure and growth, illuminating how HGSMEs experience trigger points that create a momentum of growth, which in turn mandates a supportive infrastructure.

Diatom assemblages as indicators of salinity gradients: a case study from a coastal lake
Authors: Rzodkiewicz Monika , Gąbka Maciej , Szpikowska Grażyna , Woszczyk Michał
Published: September 2017

In order to understand the variability of diatoms in coastal lakes and its relationship to salinity, the authors have conducted a two-year study at Lake Resko Przymorskie (the Southern Baltic coast), which has a salinity between 1.9-4.8 PSU. Redundancy analysis (RDA) was used to describe the relationship between the species composition and selected variables. Four of the 10 measured variables of surface water chemistry (Cl- and PO4
3- concentrations, temperature, and pH) significantly explained 23% of the variation in the diatom species composition.

We found 82 taxa of diatoms (mostly tychoplanktonic) and determined the optimum and tolerance levels of salinity for predominant taxa (49 species with minimum 2% abundance). The optimum chloride concentration for the predominant diatoms ranged from 1471 to 2961 mg Cl- l-1.

The most abundant brackish water species was Pseudostaurosiropsis geocollegarum. Brackish-freshwater diatoms were represented by Cyclotella atomus, Cyclotella meneghiniana, Diatoma tenuis and Staurosira subsalina. The most abundant fresh-brackish water diatoms were Amphora pediculus, Fragilaria sopotensis, Hippodonta hungarica, Pseudostaurosira brevistriata and Staurosira construens. Freshwater taxa accounted for as little as 1% of the population. This study provides new data on the ecology of coastal lakes and the possibility of using diatom-based transfer functions in the reconstruction of past environmental changes.
Cocconeis subantarctica sp. nov. from Kerguelen Archipelago (Austral Ocean) and comparison with Cocconeis stauroneiformis (W.Smith) Okuno
Authors: Riaux-Gobin Catherine , Witkowski Andrzej
Published: September 2017

Cocconeis subantarctica sp. nov., a small monoraphid marine diatom, previously described as C. scutellum cf. var. parva Grunow, is reported from the Kerguelen Archipelago. Based on the careful re-examination of the material using SEM (scanning electron microscopy), both valves and the cingulum were described, which enabled a better classification of this small Subantarctic taxon. The shape of the frustule is widely rounded to subdiscoid, with uniseriate and radiate striae on both valves. The SV (sternum valve) areolae have rota-like hymenate pore occlusions, with larger marginal areolae separated by a hyaline rim. The RV (raphe valve) areolae are more complex than those of the SV, with several reniform concentric hymenate occlusions. This taxon has no real stauros, only one virga, which is larger on one side of each valve. The species is not a member of the Cocconeis scutellum ‘complex’, but is closely related to C. stauroneiformis despite several morphological differences.
Predicting the Brexit Vote by Tracking and Classifying Public Opinion Using Twitter Data
Authors: Amador Diaz Lopez Julio Cesar , Collignon-Delmar Sofia , Benoit Kenneth , Matsuo Akitaka
Published: September 2017

We use 23M Tweets related to the EU referendum in the UK to predict the Brexit vote. In particular, we use user-generated labels known as hashtags to build training sets related to the Leave/Remain campaign. Next, we train SVMs in order to classify Tweets. Finally, we compare our results to Internet and telephone polls. This approach not only allows to reduce the time of hand-coding data to create a training set, but also achieves high level of correlations with Internet polls. Our results suggest that Twitter data may be a suitable substitute for Internet polls and may be a useful complement for telephone polls. We also discuss the reach and limitations of this method.
Ultrasonic Investigations on Polonides of Ba, Ca, and Pb
Authors: Singh Devraj , Bhalla Vyoma , Bala Jyoti , Wadhwa Shikha
Published: September 2017

The temperature-dependent mechanical and ultrasonic properties of barium, calcium, and lead polonides (BaPo, CaPo, and PbPo) were investigated in the temperature range 100–300 K. The second- and third-order elastic constants (SOECs and TOECs) were computed using Coulomb and Born-Mayer potential and these in turn have been used to estimate other secondary elastic properties such as strength, anisotropy, microhardness, etc. The theoretical approach followed the prediction that BaPo, CaPo, and PbPo are brittle in nature. PbPo is found to be the hardest amongst the chosen compounds. Further the SOECs and TOECs are applied to determine ultrasonic velocities, Debye temperature, and acoustic coupling constants along <100>, <110>, and <111> orientations at room temperature. Additionally thermal conductivity has been computed using Morelli and Slack’s approach along different crystallographic directions at room temperature. Finally ultrasonic attenuation due to phonon–phonon interaction and thermoelastic relaxation mechanisms has been computed for BaPo, CaPo, and PbPo. The behaviour of these compounds is similar to that of semi-metals with thermal relaxation time of the order 10−11s. The present computation study is reasonably in agreement with the available theoretical data for the similar type of materials.

Authors: Kupka Peter , Oschmiansky Frank , Popp Sandra
Published: September 2017

The article examines the job centres’ role in promoting autonomy of benefit recipients with a mental disease under the Social Code II. Restricting factors are little knowledge of mental illnesses, lack of support for labour market integration and a hierarchic communication with placement officers. However, a trustful relationship with case workers and allowing clients to take an active role in the counselling process supports the notion of autonomy.
