Is Feminism Still Another Dirty “F” Word?
Authors: Smith Leslie Dorrough 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
The concept of “code-switching” is often used to designate the communicative transgression of some sort of symbolic boundary of identity, often for various social purposes. Progressive activists and scholars alike have used the concept to point out the contradictions and idiosyncracies of groups like Concerned Women for America (CWA), a longstanding member of the Christian Right, as it portrays itself as both anti-feminist and pro-feminist simultaneously. Using CWA’s various positions on feminism as a case study, this essay considers not just how this instance of code-switching rhetorically operates, but also examines how the concept is used in the critiques lodged by progressive voices against conservative Christian groups.
A Freedom beyond Conflict: The Logic of Internal Conflict and the Free Will in Maximus the Confessor
Authors: Lourié Basil 
Published: May 2019

Summary
Maximus’ idea of appropriation of the divine will by deified humans, in any consistent interpretation, would mean their deprivation of their own freedom – exactly in the same manner as it could be in the case of servitude to sin. Maximus’ own logic, however, was paraconsistent when applied to the case of deification (whereas not to the opposite case of the servitude to sin). A recourse to a paraconsistent deontic logic was not a uniquely Maximian tool even in the Middle Ages and could serve as an inspiring example for logicians today.
Apocryphal Tradition and Slavonic Pilgrimage Literature
Authors: Garzaniti Marcello 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
Slavonic pilgrimage literature is an interesting example of the widespread knowledge of apocryphal literature not only through the written tradition, but also through the mediation of the Palestine liturgical tradition and oral legends. The collective memory of Slavia Orthodoxa was formed, therefore, not only on the basis of familiarity with the Holy Scriptures, but also through liturgical tradition and oral legends attested in a complex of “holy books” where the apocryphal and legendary motifs enrich and complete the understanding of sacred history characters and events.

Authors: Chernoglazov Dmitry , Benevich Grigory , Choufrine Arkadi , Goncharko Oksana , Schukin Timur 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
This review article is a collective work of five scholars who have written their reviews and/or responses to the twelve chapters of the recently published Cambridge Intellectual History of Byzantium. These reviews discuss such issues as institutional settings, classical scholarship, rhetoric, political theory, literary criticism, historiography, logic, and philosophy in Byzantium. They also deal with the reception of the Neoplatonic ideas in Byzantium as well as with some individual figures such as Maximos the Confessor and Michael Psellos.
Making a Home in Poland: Photographic Education and Practices in the Landkentnish Movement
Authors: Pasternak Gil , Ziętkiewicz Marta 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
This article studies the photographic methods that the Poland-based Landkentnish (Yiddish for “knowing the land”) movement employed in the interwar period to promote Jewish culture and Poland as a home for the Jewish people. The movement wished to increase the exposure of Polish Jews to Poland’s diverse landscapes in order to strengthen their connection to the Polish land. It also aspired to create archives of local Jewish cultural heritage to attest to the long history of Polish Jewry and to the contributions that Jews had made to Polish society. After tracing the movement’s origins, the article explores the concentrated efforts that it made to provide its members with photographic knowledge and education. Analyzing the photographic sources and resources that the movement created, the exhibitions that it put on display, and its employment of snapshots, the article demonstrates how photography assisted the movement in realizing its key aims and objectives.
Where Have You Gone, Father Roland de Vaux?
Authors: Weiss Haim 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
In 1960 a bundle of letters, written by Shimon Bar-Kosibah (Bar-Kokhba), was discovered during an archaeological dig in Nahal Hever. This archaeological dig was led by Professor Yigael Yadin, former Israel Defense Forces’ chief of staff and an archaeologist at the Hebrew University. In order to comprehend the cultural meaning of this event I would like to mention another figure, Father Roland de Vaux, an archaeologist and Dominican priest who was the first to find scrolls sent by Bar-Kosibah, and who Yadin chose not to mention. I believe that this omission sheds profound light on Yigael Yadin’s role as mythmaker.
La protection des actionnaires minoritaires En droit tunisien des sociétés
Authors: Ouerfelli Ahmed 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
The Law on the Economic Initiative, promulgated on December 27th, 2007, amended several laws at the same time. Among these laws, is the modifi cation of certain provisions of the Commercial Companies Code of November 3rd, 2000. The Law aims at the impulse of the creation and the transmission of fi rms. In the field of company law, it reinforces the rights of shareholders in limited companies, listed or not, and abolishes the minimum capital, required for the constitution of limited liability companies. It also allows the shareholders to have a contribution in services (apport en industrie) in these companies.
This study focuses on the consolidation of the shareholders’ rights under the new provisions.
The shareholder rights are of two kinds: the right to participate in the taking of the decisions in the company (called “political rights”), and the right to a share of the profi t generated by the company’s activity. The Law on the Economic Initiative consolidated these two kinds of rights for minority shareholders.
Dependent Farmers and Their Embedment in the Administrative System: Government Intervention and Agricultural Transformation in Suburban Shanghai (嵌入行政体系的依附农——沪郊农村的政府干预和农业转型)
Authors: Xia (夏柱智) Zhuzhi 
Published: May 2019

There are striking regional variations in agricultural transformation throughout China. Findings from the economically advanced areas show that government intervention in such areas likely results in the rise of “dependent farmers” 依附农 who are embedded in the existing administrative system and whose management approach and its consequences defy the conventional wisdom on agricultural capitalism. In the case of suburban Shanghai, the coming of sojourning farmers and the resultant changes in agriculture have become “problematic” under the current policies of agricultural governance, hence their removal from local agricultural production and the rise of “local farmers and family farms” in their stead. Despite the façade of modern agriculture and autonomous management, the family farm operates essentially in an “administrative” mode. The local government plays a decisive role in farmers’ choice of production and returns through its whole package of agricultural management systems, thus turning the market-oriented managerial farmers into dependents of the administrative system. The major problem with the new method in agricultural management, therefore, lies in the high cost of agricultural management and the government’s subsequent subsidies for agriculture to insure its survival, hence the formation of the dual dependence of farmland contractors and actual operators upon the agricultural administrative system and the emergence of a “profit-sharing order.” On the basis of this, the article further elaborates on problems with the farmland system in the advanced areas.
中国农业的转型具有区域差异的特征,发达地区的经验表明政府干预可能形成嵌入行政体系的“依附农”,其经营方式和后果不同于通常所界定的农业资本主义。以沪郊农村为例,在农业治理要求下,沪郊外来农民及自发的农业变迁被“问题化”,随之被地方政府排除出农业生产领域,“本地农民-家庭农场”取而代之。家庭农场虽然有现代农业及自主经营的外在形式,但其内在运作机制是一套“行政化”的农业经营模式。地方政府通过一整套农业经营制度安排支配着经营者选择、生产标准和收益空间,将面向市场的自主经营者转变为面向行政体系的依附经营者。新农业经营方式的主要问题是农业经营成本被人为推高,迫使政府以农业补贴维持农业再生产,进而形成土地承包者和实际经营者共同依附农业行政体系获得丰厚收益的“分利秩序”。在这一基础上,本文还对发达地区所显示的农地制度问题进行了初步的反思。
A new approach for modelling water transport in fossil plants
Authors: Tanrattana Mélanie , Barczi Jean-François , Decombeix Anne-Laure , Meyer-Berthaud Brigitte , Wilson Jonathan 
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACTThe origin of xylem in the Silurian was a major step in plant evolution, leading to diverse growth forms with various mechanical and hydraulic properties. In the fossil record, these properties can only be investigated using models based on extant plant physiology. Regarding hydraulics, previous studies have considered either the properties of a single tracheid or of a set of independent tubes. Here, we use the analogy between the flow of water under tension in a plant and an electrical circuit to develop an extension of Wilson’s single tracheid model to the tissue scale. Upscaling to the tissue-level allows considering wood as a heterogeneous tissue by taking into account differences in tracheid density and the presence of rays. The new model provides a more biologically accurate representation of fossil wood hydraulic properties. The single tracheid and new tissue models are applied to two conspecific specimens of Callixylon (Progymnospermopsida, Archeopteridales) from the Late Devonian of Morocco. Differences are shown at the tissue level that cannot be suspected at the single tracheid level. Callixylon represents the first trees with a conifer-like wood and is a major component of Late Devonian floras world-wide. Our results show that the anatomical disparity of its wood might have led to hydraulic plasticity, allowing growth in various environmental conditions. More generally, the new tissue-model suggests that the various combinations of tracheid and ray sizes present in Palaeozoic plants might have led to a higher variety of ecophysiologies than suspected based solely on the properties of individual tracheids.
The Teachings of Silvanus (NHC VII,4) and the Education of the Christian Mind
Authors: Ashwin-Siejkowski Piotr 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
This paper examines the Teachings of Silvanus (NHC VII,4) as a specific exhortation to the attainment of wisdom by the Christian disciple. It discusses the significance of the ethical proposal to the mind, virtue, and freedom. Next, it highlights the principle values of the inner life as advocated by the document. Finally, the paper shows the extension of ethics in the sphere of spirituality and mysticism. This examination pays special attention to the Alexandrian theological legacy, which includes some notions borrowed from Jewish wisdom literature, Philo, Christian Scriptures, and two philosophical traditions: Roman Stoicism and Middle Platonism. The paper shows how the text’s rhetoric and pedagogy, although combining various philosophical and Scriptural sources, creatively constructed a unique Christian model of self-transformation suggested by the Teachings of Silvanus.
The Gnostic Garden: Kabbalistic Motifs in a Modern Jewish Visionary
Authors: Kripal Jeffrey J. 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
After relating a dramatic near-death experience of a Houston woman named Elizabeth Krohn, this essay explores some of the themes of her near-death experience, particularly the invisible presence of a being of unconditional love in a paradisiacal garden and various direct transmissions of some traditional religious convictions. The essay then discusses some of the obvious New Age contexts and features of the visionary event and of the subsequent convictions, after which it calls into question these same assumed modern influences with a simple thought experiment. The essay then addresses some of the metaphysical complexities of the soul and soul-time in modern kabbalah as explicated by the contemporary historian of modern kabbalah Jonathan Garb and ends with another final intervention. The result, overall, is a comparative reflection that affirms and performs the traditional phenomenological and historical methods of the study of religion but also calls into serious question the adequacy of these methods and the limiting, even blinding, nature of their philosophical assumptions.
The Relationship between Translocal Chinese and their Hometowns (1920s–40s): The View from “Shining” Monthly of Jushan, Quemoy (跨境華僑及其僑鄉社會∶以顯影僑刊為中心的考察(1920s–40s))
Authors: Chiang (江柏煒) Bo-wei 
Published: May 2019

Quemoy is a famous overseas Chinese hometown in modern China. Since the 17th Century, Western colonial power expanded to South Asia, Southeast Asia, China and Japan, and drew these areas into the network of the global economy. The Quemoy Islands, situated outside Xinmen (Amoy)-port, were influenced by external and internal factors that shaped the region’s history of overseas migration. Emigrants from Quemoy brought radical changes back to their hometown, including social, economic, cultural and architectural impacts. These historical phenomena, usually described as expressions of “transnationalism,” are important foci of current research.
This research tries to study the modernization of one overseas Chinese native hometown by investigating “Shining,” a monthly publication of Jushan village in Quemoy. “Shining” is one of the most comprehensive overseas Chinese publications and news reports in the world, however, it has received little academic attention.
“Shining” published its first issue in September 1928, but publication was interrupted by the Second Sino-Japan War, between 1937–45. In April 1946, the publication resumed until the kmt retreated to Taiwan in 1949. The monthly publication had 21 volumes in total and recorded many historical materials, such as social life, overseas Chinese remittances, events, cultural changes and architectural activities during the 1920s–30s. It also reported political conditions and made criticisms of political issues between 1945–49. “Shining” conveyed progressive ideas and values to the people of Quemoy at that time.
This paper will use “Shining” to study social change in the native hometown, including the economic connection between Quemoy and overseas areas, the formation and characteristics of overseas Chinese families, the interaction between folk society and colonial culture, the modification of everyday life and values, the changes in landscape and architecture. I attempt to examine the use of overseas Chinese newsletters to develop a new field of social history in the study of modern overseas Chinese native hometowns.
閩粵為近代中國著名的僑鄉，海外移民及歸僑眾多。華僑的出洋主要是經濟上的因素，他們匯款返鄉支持了家鄉家眷生計、教育、剬益、實業等層面的發展，促成了僑鄉社會的近代化。在昔日交通不便捷的情況下，海外僑居地與僑鄉之間的聯繫，經常必須仰賴僑刊或鄉訊的報導。這些刊物一般由各僑鄉宗族所辦，刊行於海外，讓華僑得以了解家鄉動態與相關事聞。不過由於國共戰爭、文化大革命之故，多數僑刊沒有保存下來。
本文擬以保存完整的僑刊福建金門珠山《顯影》（Shining）為例，一方面深入分析1928至1949年間（1937–45年間因戰爭停刊）《顯影》史料，一方面也從刊物內容中理解1920s–40s年代金門社會生活、治安狀況、海外鄉僑事蹟、僑匯經濟、實業發展、政治時局、文化變遷等主題。最後，進一步探究《顯影》的史料價值及其侷限，說明其對於僑鄉研究的重要性。 (This article is in English.)
Rethinking Agreement in Spoken Arabic: The Question of Gender
Authors: Bettega Simone 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
This paper proposes a re-discussion of the question of the number of genders in Arabic. Only varieties of Arabic that display gender distinction in the plural are considered here. In these varieties, it is argued, all nouns fall into one of three distinct agreement classes (or genders), and this in spite of the fact that only two separate genders surface at the morphological level. In other words, a discrepancy exists between the number of target genders and that of controller genders. This situation is not unique to Arabic, and finds parallels in other languages of the world. In addition, the article discusses the role of feminine singular agreement with plural controllers. This type of agreement is not restricted to any particular controller type and always exists in variation with plural agreement. Therefore, it is not to be regarded as a separate agreement category, but rather as an indicator of the referent’s level of individuation. Finally, the last section of the article concentrates on the possible diachronic implications of the analysis proposed above
Do We Need a Minimum Definition of Populism? An Appraisal of Mudde’s Conceptualization
Authors: de la Torre Carlos , Mazzoleni Oscar 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
This contribution discusses the advantages and disadvantages of Cas Mudde’s minimalist definition to study populism. It argues that his proposal might facilitate consensus among scholars, yet his conceptualization is an obstacle to grasp the complexity of populism in its diverse manifestations over space and time. Moreover, some underlying normative assumptions limit the reach of his concept to small rightwing populist European parties at the fringes of the political system. The article argues for the necessity to recognize pluralism and hybridism avoiding any reductionism in populism scholarship. Populism cannot be reduced to one of its components, like a moralist ideology. Populism is also a strategy, a political style, and a discursive frame.
Populism from a Latin American Perspective
Authors: Lim Taekyoon 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
Discourses on contemporary populism owe much to the populism of the mid-20th century’s Latin America. From a Latin American perspective, the current paper critically reviews Dunn’s and Han’s papers on populism. These two papers are not quite directly comparable in their arguments because their analyses have discrete focuses and levels. Still, Dunn’s argument reasonably reflects the cases of the West whereas Han’s explains the Korean case quite effectively. One question that emerges from their discussion on populism is how generalizable their arguments are beyond the specific cases. From the perspective of Latin America, Dunn’s and Han’s arguments seem to have limited implications for understanding classical populism and contemporary neopopulism in Latin America though they provide insightful thoughts to rethink the political economy of the region with.
What Can We Expect from Data Assimilation for Air Quality Forecast? Part II: Analysis with a Semi-Real Case
Authors: Bessagnet Bertrand , Menut Laurent , Couvidat Florian , Meleux Frédérik , Siour Guillaume , Mailler Sylvain 
Published: May 2019

AbstractAssimilation of observational data from ground stations and satellites has been identified as a technique to improve air quality model results. This study is an evaluation of the maximum benefit expected from data assimilation in chemical transport models. Various tests are performed under real meteorological conditions; the injection of various subsets of “simulated observational data” at the initial state of a forecasting period is analyzed in terms of benefit on selected criteria. This observation dataset is generated by a simulation with perturbed input data. Several criteria are defined to analyze the simulations leading to the definition of a “tipping time” to compare the behavior of simulations. Assimilating three-dimensional data instead of ground observations clearly adds value to the forecast. For the studied period and considering the expected best favorable data assimilation experiment, the maximum benefit is higher for particulate matter (PM) with tipping times exceeding 80 h; for ozone (O3) the gain is on average around 30 h. Assimilating O3 concentrations with a delta calculated on the first level and propagated over the vertical direction provides better results on O3 mean concentrations when compared with the expected best experiment corresponding to the injection of the O3 “observations” 3D dataset, but for maximum O3 concentrations the opposite behavior is observed. If data assimilation of secondary pollutant concentrations provides an improvement, assimilation of primary pollutant emissions can have beneficial impacts when compared with an assimilation of concentrations, after several days on secondary pollutants like O3 or nitrate concentrations and more quickly for the emitted primary pollutants. An assimilation of ammonia concentrations has slightly better performances on nitrate, ammonium, and PM concentrations relative to the assimilation of nitrogen or sulfur dioxides.
Outcomes Following Transoral Laser Microsurgery With Resection of Cartilage for Laryngeal Cancer

Published: May 2019

Introduction: The ability to treat more advanced laryngeal cancers by transoral approaches has expanded significantly in the past several decades. Transoral management of laryngeal cancers that require removal of the laryngeal framework is controversial. Resecting cartilage through endoscopic means carries inherent technical challenges and the question of oncologic safety. Methods: We describe a retrospective review of patients undergoing resection of the thyroid cartilage during transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) for laryngeal cancer over a 10-year period. Only patients with 5-year follow-up were included. Results: Fourteen patients were identified that underwent attempted endoscopic resection of the thyroid cartilage. Preoperative staging ranged from T1 to T4 laryngeal cancers. Most patients underwent resection of the thyroid cartilage either for close proximity of the tumor to cartilage or microscopic involvement of the inner perichondrium, although 6 patients had gross invasion of the cartilage. Twelve patients underwent successful endoscopic clearance. Two patients were converted to total laryngectomy either at the time of surgery or shortly after due to extent of disease that was deemed not amenable to endoscopic resection. Overall 5-year survival was 71%. Disease-free survival was 62% at 5 years. The majority of patients avoided gastrostomy and tracheostomy tube dependence. One patient underwent total laryngectomy following initial TLM for chronic aspiration. Conclusion: We conclude that TLM for laryngeal cancer performed with removal of thyroid cartilage is feasible. Both oncologic and functional outcomes are reasonable in a select group of patients. This paper describes that cartilage can be resected endoscopically in the appropriate setting and not necessarily that cartilage invasion should routinely be treated with TLM.
