Problems with the Interpretation of the “Slovak Reformation”
Authors: Kowalská Eva 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Structural problems of communities affected by the “Slovak Reformation,” issues with accepting the situation or simply the relationships among various cultural phenomena, like literacy or language policies, are key aspects in studying the impact of the Reformation in Hungary, especially with respect to Slovaks. Information gathered from the Reformation had a direct and long-lasting impact on the formation of vernacular language, as well as on the search for and the construction of an ethnic identity. Searching for evidence left by the Slovak presence in the Reformation movement thus presents challenging though notable problems for Slovak historiography. The confessional division and its political as well as cultural implications have evoked long-lasting discussions among historians as well as politicians. This study focuses on the most relevant issues within these processes.
Deconstructing the Protestant Liberation of the Bible: The Case of the Low Countries
Authors: François Wim 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The Grand Narrative of the liberation of Scripture has long taken for granted that the late medieval Catholic Church took a negative, if not repressive, attitude towards vernacular Bible reading; that the Scriptures were only opened up for the masses with the advent of Luther and the Reformers; and that the Catholic authorities reacted by intensifying their repressive policy. Though explicitly criticized in scholarly literature over the last decade, this Grand Narrative, or Protestant Paradigm, continues to pop up in confessionally-colored scholarly publications, as well as in accounts of the Reformation that are destined for a general audience. The present essay examines three incarnations of the Grand Narrative in Dutch Protestant Bible culture. Firstly, it has been argued that the Bibles published by William Vorsterman (not only the edition of 1528, but all subsequent editions) betray sympathies with the upcoming Reformation; secondly, that the printer-publisher Jacob van Liesvelt was beheaded on account of the protestantizing marginal glosses in his Bibles, especially the 1542 edition; and thirdly, that his widow Maria Ancxt continued to print Protestant Bibles from the late 1540s until the early 1560s, in obvious violation of the anti-heresy edicts, yet without being harassed by the Antwerp authorities. The aim of this article is to debunk these incarnations of the Grand Narrative.
A classification of the abelian minimal closed normal subgroups of locally compact second-countable groups
Authors: Reid Colin D. 
Published: November 2020

AbstractWe classify the locally compact second-countable (l.c.s.c.) groups 𝐴 that are abelian and topologically characteristically simple. All such groups 𝐴 occur as the monolith of some soluble l.c.s.c. group 𝐺 of derived length at most 3; with known exceptions (specifically, when 𝐴 isQn\mathbb{Q}^{n}or its dual for somen∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}), we can take 𝐺 to be compactly generated. This amounts to a classification of the possible isomorphism types of abelian chief factors of l.c.s.c. groups, which is of particular interest for the theory of compactly generated locally compact groups.
Inverse problem for a degenerate/singular parabolic system with Neumann boundary conditions
Authors: Alaoui Mohammed , Hajjaj Abdelkarim , Maniar Lahcen , Salhi Jawad 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
In this paper, we study an inverse source problem for a degenerate and singular parabolic system where the boundary conditions are of Neumann type.
We consider a problem with degenerate diffusion coefficients and singular lower-order terms, both vanishing at an interior point of the space domain.
In particular, we address the question of well-posedness of the problem, and then we prove a stability estimate of Lipschitz type in determining the source term by data of only one component.
Our method is based on Carleman estimates, cut-off procedures and a reflection technique.
Imaging of bi-anisotropic periodic structures from electromagnetic near-field data
Authors: Nguyen Dinh-Liem , Truong Trung 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This paper is concerned with the inverse scattering problem for the three-dimensional Maxwell equations in bi-anisotropic periodic structures.
The inverse scattering problem aims to determine the shape of bi-anisotropic periodic scatterers from electromagnetic near-field data at a fixed frequency.
The factorization method is studied as an analytical and numerical tool for solving the inverse problem.
We provide a rigorous justification of the factorization method which results in the unique determination and a fast imaging algorithm for the periodic scatterer.
Numerical examples for imaging three-dimensional periodic structures are presented to examine the efficiency of the method.
Initial development of the Dance Imagery Questionnaire for Children (DIQ-C): establishing content validity
Authors: Muir Irene , Munroe-Chandler Krista 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Given the differences between young dancers’ and adult dancers’ use of imagery, a valid and reliable questionnaire specific to young dancers was necessary. The current study is the first phase of a multi-phase study in the development of the Dance Imagery Questionnaire for Children (DIQ-C). Specifically, the purpose of this study was to establish content validity of the DIQ-C. This was achieved through the following three stages: (1) definition, item, and scale development, (2) assessment of item clarity and appropriateness via cognitive interviews, and (3) assessment of item-content relevance via an expert rating panel. Guided by previous qualitative research with young dancers, 46 items representing seven subscales (i.e., imagery types) were developed. The initial item pool was then implemented during cognitive interviews with 16 dancers (15 females; M
age=10.63, SD=1.82), which led to the removal of 13 items and the modification of 21 items. Consequently, the revised 33-item pool was then administered to an expert panel of four imagery researchers and four dance instructors to measure item-content relevance. This resulted in the removal of eight items, the revision of four items, and the merging of two subscales. Overall, the current study provides content validity evidence for a 25-item pool (representing five subscales) to be used in further development of the DIQ-C (i.e., identifying and establishing factor structure).
Literary meaning as character conceptualization: Re-orienting the cognitive stylistic analysis of character discourse and Free Indirect Thought
Authors: Rundquist Eric 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This article establishes the theoretical bases for a more direct and detailed exploration of fictional minds in cognitive stylistics. This discipline usually analyzes narrative discourse in terms of how readers process language and conceptualize narrative meaning, treating literary language more or less explicitly as a window into readers’ mental experiences. However, it is also possible to treat literary language as a window into characters’ minds, which, in spite of their obvious fictionality, could enhance the potential for cognitive linguistic analysis to inform our understanding of the human mind and consciousness more generally. This article explores the nature of linguistic meaning in different speech and thought presentation techniques primarily through the lens of Langacker’s Cognitive Grammar, ultimately prioritizing the representational semantics of Free Indirect Thought. It proposes a more precise understanding of the concept of ‘conceptualizer’ which would validate a type of mind style analysis that is more narrowly focused on illuminating the underlying mental activity of fictional characters instead of readers. It demonstrates this type of focus with a brief analysis of a passage from Charles Jackson’s The Lost Weekend.
Discretisation and Product Distributions in Ring-LWE
Authors: Murphy Sean , Player Rachel 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
A statistical framework applicable to Ring-LWE was outlined by Murphy and Player (IACR eprint 2019/452). Its applicability was demonstrated with an analysis of the decryption failure probability for degree-1 and degree-2 ciphertexts in the homomorphic encryption scheme of Lyubashevsky, Peikert and Regev (IACR eprint 2013/293). In this paper, we clarify and extend results presented by Murphy and Player. Firstly, we make precise the approximation of the discretisation of a Normal random variable as a Normal random variable, as used in the encryption process of Lyubashevsky, Peikert and Regev. Secondly, we show how to extend the analysis given by Murphy and Player to degree-k ciphertexts, by precisely characterising the distribution of the noise in these ciphertexts.
One Bit is All It Takes: A Devastating Timing Attack on BLISS’s Non-Constant Time Sign Flips
Authors: Tibouchi Mehdi , Wallet Alexandre 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
As one of the most efficient lattice-based signature schemes, and one of the only ones to have seen deployment beyond an academic setting (e.g., as part of the VPN software suite strongSwan), BLISS has attracted a significant amount of attention in terms of its implementation security, and side-channel vulnerabilities of several parts of its signing algorithm have been identified in previous works. In this paper, we present an even simpler timing attack against it. The bimodal Gaussian distribution that BLISS is named after is achieved using a random sign flip during signature generation, and neither the original implementation of BLISS nor strongSwan ensure that this sign flip is carried out in constant time. It is therefore possible to recover the corresponding sign through side-channel leakage (using, e.g., cache attacks or branch tracing). We show that obtaining this single bit of leakage (for a moderate number of signatures) is in fact sufficient for a full key recovery attack. The recovery is carried out using a maximum likelihood estimation on the space of parameters, which can be seen as a statistical manifold. The analysis of the attack thus reduces to the computation of the Fisher information metric.
Cassirer, der Grundlagenstreit und die „idealen Elemente“ der Mathematik
Authors: Neuber Matthias C. 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This paper shows that Cassirer’s philosophy of mathematics underwent a significant transformation by the end of the 1920s. This transformation was due to Cassirer’s reception of the ‘foundational crisis’ within mathematics itself. David Hilbert’s conception of the ‘ideal elements’ of mathematics attracted Cassirer’s particular attention. Indeed, he sought a ‘transcendental deduction’ of these elements. Reflection on this issue is therefore essential to providing an adequate interpretation of the later Cassirer’s enterprise in the philosophy of mathematics.
Equivalent varieties for culture-specific words in Chinese-English dictionaries
Authors: LI Qian , XIA Yun 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Given the popularity of Chinese culture among learners of Chinese as a Foreign language (CFL), a quality bilingual dictionary is of significance to provide cultural information for language activities. The present study collects a group of typical Chinese culture-specific words (CSWs) and examines the adoption of different equivalent varieties in four Chinese-English dictionaries when dealing with those CSWs. It shows that firstly, while borrowing turns out to be the least used way in the bilingual dictionaries, a combination of equivalents (either translational or explanatory) plus explanation is the major means adopted by Chinese bilingual lexicographers. Secondly, as compared to the dictionaries for general purposes, those intended for CFL learners prefer to include more CSWs and provide a larger amount of encyclopedic explanation for user’s orientation. Finally, the inappropriateness of some translational or explanatory equivalents suggests the necessity for a close scrutiny of various aspects in the process of equivalent identification, including sense discrimination between different TL words, context information of the potential equivalents, and cultural connotation of each constituent part of a TL equivalent. It is hoped that these findings may contribute to the improvement of Chinese-English learner’s dictionaries in the future.
The presentation of information in bilingual online dictionaries: The case of culture-specific phraseological units
Authors: Vrbinc Marjeta , Vrbinc Alenka 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Language and culture are closely connected, which is clearly reflected in many phraseological units (PUs). PUs are rarely used outside the language community in which they developed, thus causing comprehension problems to non-native speakers on account of their cultural specificity. That is why dictionaries should include cultural information to enable the users to learn about the cultural background of PUs. In online bilingual phraseological dictionaries, this type of information is of secondary importance if compared with dictionary equivalents, which are of primary importance. The aim of this article is to discuss types of additional information regarded as being of secondary importance and accessible by clicking on extra buttons, the focus being on the presentation of the cultural component. The language pair of sample entries illustrating the use of extra buttons is English and Slovenian, but the same principle could be employed in other language pairs with the necessary language-specific modifications and adaptations.

Degradation of connexin 50 protein causes waterclefts in human lens
Authors: Nakazawa Yosuke , Shibata Teppei , Nagai Noriaki , Kubo Eri , Tamura Hiroomi , Sasaki Hiroshi 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Cataracts are mainly classified into three types: cortical cataracts, nuclear cataracts, and posterior subcapsular cataracts. In addition, retrodots and waterclefts are cataract subtypes that cause decreased visual function. To maintain an orderly and tightly packed arrangement to minimize light scattering, adhesion molecules such as connexins and aquaporin 0 (AQP0) are highly expressed in the lens. We hypothesized that some main and/or subcataract type(s) are correlated with adhesion molecule degradation. Lens samples were collected from cataract patients during cataract surgery, and mRNA and protein expression levels were measured by real-time RT-PCR and western blotting, respectively. The mRNA levels of adhesion molecules were not significantly different among any cataract types. Moreover, AQP0 and connexin 46 protein expressions were unchanged among patients. However, connexin 50 protein level was significantly decreased in the lens of patients with WC cataract subtype. P62 and LC3B proteins were detected in the WC patients’ lenses, but not in other patients’ lenses. These results suggest that more research is needed on the subtypes of cataracts besides the three major types of cataract for tailor-made cataract therapy.
Differenzielle Abschreckbarkeit als Evidenzgrundlage negativer Generalprävention – Eine Bestandsaufnahme der kriminologischen Wissensbasis
Authors: Hirtenlehner Helmut 
Published: November 2020

ZusammenfassungDie Abschreckungsdoktrin setzt auf Sanktionsfurcht als Mittel zur Eindämmung von Kriminalität. So plausibel die Hypothese, Furcht vor staatlicher Strafe würde Delinquenz verhindern, auch klingt: Empirische Forschung zeichnet ein eher ernüchterndes Bild von den kriminalpräventiven Erträgen angedrohter gerichtlicher Bestrafung. Aus dem Bereich der negativen Generalprävention entfaltet allenfalls die Sanktionierungswahrscheinlichkeit einen mäßigen Verhaltenslenkungseffekt. Das mehrheitliche Ausbleiben nennenswerter Abschreckungserfolge muss aber nicht bedeuten, dass formalen Sanktionierungsrisiken jeglicher Steuerungswert abzusprechen ist. Unter dem Leitkonzept der differenziellen Abschreckbarkeit durchgeführte »Perceptual Deterrence Research« verwirft die Annahme, Abschreckung wirke auf alle Menschen gleich, um sich Bemühungen zur Eingrenzung der für Abschreckungsbotschaften zugänglichen Teilgruppen der Bevölkerung zu widmen. Die hier vorgenommene Sichtung des gesammelten Forschungsstandes zeigt, dass Sanktionsrisikoeffekte über Personen, Situationen und Delikte hinweg variieren. Individuen mit geringer Normakzeptanz, niedriger Selbstkontrolle und zahlreichen Freundschaftskontakten zu delinquenzaffinen Gleichaltrigen können als in einem gehobenen Maße durch ihre Sanktionsrisikowahrnehmung beeinflussbar identifiziert werden. Wenn Menschen mit einer erhöhten Tendenz zur Kriminalität moderat anfällig für Steuerungswirkungen der perzipierten Bestrafungswahrscheinlichkeit sind, attestiert dies der negativen Generalprävention eine gewisse Tauglichkeit als Instrument der Sekundärprävention, welche auf das Management kriminogener Dynamiken in Risikogruppen zielt.
Zu den Auswirkungen der Inhaftierung Straffälliger auf Familienangehörige
Authors: Kury Helmut , Kuhlmann Annette 
Published: November 2020

Zusammenfassung
Die Diskussion um Straftäter und Kriminalität konzentriert sich in der Öffentlichkeit – vielfach auch in der Fachliteratur – auf das aktuelle Kriminalitätsgeschehen, die begangenen Straftaten und die ausgesprochenen Sanktionen. Unberücksichtigt bleibt dabei oft die hinsichtlich der Kriminalprävention ausgesprochen wichtige Frage, vor welchem Hintergrund sich das straffällige Verhalten beim Täter entwickelt hat. Weiterhin bleiben vor allem auch die Kollateralschäden einer Sanktion – etwa einer Inhaftierung – auf vorhandene Familienmitglieder, vor allem auch Kinder weitgehend unbeachtet. Es wird ein kurzer Überblick gegeben über vorhandene Forschungsergebnisse zu den Folgen von Freiheitsstrafen für die Frauen und Kinder der Inhaftierten insbesondere aus Deutschland und den USA. Bisherige Untersuchungen zeigen deutlich, dass die Inhaftierung eines Elternteils, vor allem der Mutter, in aller Regel sehr negative Auswirkungen auf die Sozialisation der Kinder hat, vor allem etwa auch zu einer delinquenten kindlichen Entwicklung beitragen kann. Hierbei ist zu beachten, dass Inhaftierte weitgehend aus benachteiligten sozialen Verhältnissen kommen, vielfach ein breites Muster von Verhaltensproblemen wie Gewalt oder Substanzmissbrauch zeigen, was mit zu einer Weitergabe des abweichenden Verhaltens an die nächste Generation beiträgt.
Introduction to the Special Issue on Children’s and Adolescents’ Rights
Authors: Gheaus Anca , Hohl Sabine 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Recent philosophical work on children and childhood has revealed many new questions concerning minors’ rights. This special issue of Moral Philosophy and Politics offers new contributions to the topics of paternalism, the nature of the right to parent and children’s voting. It also contains articles about the so far less explored questions of adolescents’ parental rights, minors’ rights against the harms of parental imprisonment, and their right to veto their own parents’ decision to relocate.
On Global Plasticity: Framing the Global Through Affective Materiality
Authors: McKay Deirdre , Stanes Elyse , Githua Nicole , Lei Xiaoyu , Dixon Simon 
Published: November 2020

AbstractAs a pervasive, material element of the global, plastics raise potent social and environmental questions. More than merely the “stuff” of potential global prosperity, plastics are substances that people inscribe with varied cultural meanings. Deploying four conceptual “entry points” for global research, we explore how global plastics have become not only a site of an emergent socioecological crisis but themselves a point of leverage for a more humanized globalization. We approach the problem first as an exercise in reframing, shifting our viewpoint away from debates on waste to re-examine ideas of culture and symbolism. Then, working through the entry points of the particular, materiality and affect, we ground our argument in examples from the contemporary pandemic response, earlier ethnographic work, and our own ethnographic projects. We show how plastics have failed people’s desires for a durable modernity, but nonetheless come to shape the ways they feel and think about themselves and each other as sharing responsibility for a global world.
A transparent polyurethane based on nanosilica in reinforcing papers
Authors: Jin Shanshan , Qi Yingping , Shen Yongfeng , Li Hua 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Paper has been the most significant carrier of written information for many centuries. To prolong the life expectancy of papers, the polyurethane based on nanosilica was used to strengthen the paper fibers in this work. The relation between the mass concentration of polyurethane based on nanosilica and the specific properties of papers (e. g., folding endurance, tensile strength, tearing strength, whiteness and glossiness) were investigated. In addition, the effect of polyurethane based on nanosilica on the acid/alkali resistance and ageing resistance were studied. The results showed that polyurethane based on nanosilica could significantly improve the mechanical properties and ageing resistance of papers.
Paul and the Plea for Contingency in Contemporary Philosophy: A Philosophical and Anthropological Critique
Authors: Gevorkyan Sofya , Segovia Carlos A. 
Published: November 2020

AbstractOur purpose in this study – which stands at the crossroads of contemporary philosophy, anthropology, and religious studies – is to assess critically the plea for radical contingency in contemporary thought, with special attention to the work of Meillassoux, in light, among other things, of the symptomatic presence of Pauline motifs in the late twentieth to early twenty first-century philosophical arena, from Vattimo to Agamben and especially Badiou. Drawing on Aristotle’s treatment of τύχη and Hilan Bensusan’s neo-monadology (as well as on the network biology of David George Haskell, Scott Gilbert’s holobiont hypothesis, and Terrence Deacon’s teleo-dynamics), we ask what is missing in such plea, from a theoretical standpoint. Next, we examine the relation between radical contingency and worldlessness in dialogue with Leroi-Gourhan’s theory of biocultural evolution, Lévi-Strauss’s structural anthropology, Pierre Clastres’s ethnography, Heidegger’s philosophy of language, and contemporary authors like Eduardo Viveiros de Castro and Patrice Maniglier. These two parallel lines of inquiry help us explore what radical contingency, in turn, prevents us from thinking: the intersection of ontology, cosmopolitics, and modality.
