Starting Off on the Wrong Foot: Elite Influences in Multi-Ethnic Democratization Settings
Authors: Krebs Lutz F. 
Published: July 2018

Abstract:Elite manipulation theories, particularly the idea of diversionary war, have played a substantial role in the analysis of ethnic civil wars. Some, as Gagnon (2004), argue that political elites have shaped the perceptions of their population to create the illusion of a threatening outside world. This, driven to the extreme, would then give rise to an ethnic security dilemma and potentially, civil war. Even if violence does not break out, divisive elite manipulation increases the likelihood of self-perpetuating injustices between members of ethnic groups. Snyder (2000) argues that democratizing multi-ethnic states face an extraordinarily high risk of such conflict.During and shortly after democratization processes, when political leaders are most in need of popular backing, the temptation to seek the support of a fairly well defined ethnic group rather than that of the multi-ethnic demos that existed so far may be strong. Especially if group identities have been reified through institutionalization – as is frequently the case in multi-ethnic societies – ready-made social cleavages may be available for politicians to exploit. However, Brubaker (1998) convincingly argues that political leaders rarely have both the ability and ideal environment to manipulate identities for their own personal need that the theory of diversionary war suggests.This paper provides an initial analysis of the first in a series of democratization cases in ethnically heterogeneous settings: the Burundian democratization process of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Based on news agency and local newspaper reports, this paper attempts to assess to what degree elites stimulate ethnic hostilities in their bid for political power and to what extend they react to credible already present in the population.

Authors: Utami Putra Desak Made Dwi , Pratama I Putu Adi 
Published: July 2018

Beasiswa adalah tunjangan yang diberikan kepada pelajar atau mahasiswa sebagai bantuan biaya belajar. Beasiswa pada umumnya ditujukan untuk mereka yang kurang mampu atau berprestasi. SMA N 1 Kediri Tabanan sebagai institusi pendidikan juga menyediakan beasiswa bagi siswa-siswa yang kurang mampu dan berprestasi. Agar pemberian beasiswa tepat sasaran, ada sepuluh kriteria yang digunakan pihak sekolah untuk menentukan tingkat kelayakan seorang siswa dalam memperoleh beasiswa. Selama ini pihak sekolah menentukan tingkat kelayakan penerima beasiswa dengan cara mengecek data pengusul satu persatu lalu membandingkannya dengan pengusul lain. Hal tersebut memakan waktu yang cukup lama dan sangat mungkin terjadi kesalahan akibat kekurang telitian. Pada penelitian ini dikembangkan sebuah sistem pendukung keputusan yang diharapkan dapat memberikan daftar calon penerima beasiswa yang sudah terurut berdasarkan tingkat kelayakannya. Tingkat kelayakan ditentukan dengan menggunakan metode TOPSIS. Dari pengujian yang telah dilakukan didapat hasil bahwa sistem telah mampu memberikan daftar calon penerima beasiswa yang sudah terurut berdasar tingkat kelayakannya.
Unmaking and Remaking the World in Long-Term Solitary Confinement
Authors: Guenther Lisa 
Published: July 2018

In The Body in Pain, Elaine Scarry analyzes the structure of torture as an unmaking of the world in which the tools that ought to support a person’s embodied capacities are used as weapons to break them down. The Security Housing Unit (SHU) of California’s Pelican Bay State Prison functions as a weaponized architecture of torture in precisely this sense; but in recent years, prisoners in the Pelican Bay Short Corridor have re-purposed this weaponized architecture as a tool for remaking the world through collective resistance. This resistance took the form of a hunger strike in which prisoners exposed themselves to the possibility of biological death in order to contest the social and civil death of solitary confinement. By collectively refusing food, and by articulating the meaning and motivation of this refusal in articles, interviews, artwork, and legal documents, prisoners reclaimed and expanded their perceptual, cognitive, and expressive capacities for world-making, even in a space of systematic torture.

Published: June 2018

OBJECTIVEThe objective of this study was to compare anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and minimally invasive posterior cervical foraminotomy (MI-PCF) with tubes for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy in terms of the 1) overall revision proportion, 2) index and adjacent level revision rates, and 3) functional outcome scores.METHODSThe authors retrospectively reviewed the records of consecutive patients who had undergone ACDF or MI-PCF at a single institution between 2009 and 2014. Patients treated for cervical radiculopathy without myelopathy and with a minimum 2-year follow-up were compared according to the procedure performed for their pathology. Primary outcome measures included the overall rate of revision with fusion and overall revision proportion as well as the rate of index and adjacent level revisions per year. Secondarily, self-reported outcome measures—Neck Disability Index (NDI) and visual analog scale (VAS) for arm (VASa) and neck (VASn) pain—at the preoperative and postoperative evaluations were analyzed. Standard binomial and categorical comparative analyses were performed.RESULTSForty-nine consecutive patients were treated with MI-PCF, and 210 consecutive patients were treated with ACDF. The mean follow-up for the MI-PCF cohort was 42.9 ± 6.6 months (mean ± SD) and for the ACDF cohort was 44.9 ± 10.3 months. There was no difference in the overall revision proportion between the two cohorts (4 [8.2%] of 49 MI-PCF vs. 12 [5.7%] of 210 ACDF, p = 0.5137). There was no difference in the revision rate per level per year (3.1 vs. 1.7, respectively, p = 0.464). Moreover, there was no difference in the revision rate per level per year at the index level (1.8 vs. 0.7, respectively, p = 0.4657) or at an adjacent level (1.3 vs. 1.1, p = 0.9056). Neither was there a difference between the cohorts as regards the change from preoperative to final postoperative functional outcome scores (NDI, VASa, VASn).CONCLUSIONSMinimally invasive PCF for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy demonstrates rates of revision at the index and adjacent levels similar to those following ACDF. In order to confirm the positive efficacy and cost analysis findings in this study, future studies need to extend the follow-up and show that the rate of revision with fusion does not increase substantially over time.
The Effect of AGNs on the Global H i Content of Isolated Low-mass Galaxies

Published: July 2018

Abstract
We investigate the global neutral hydrogen (H i) content of isolated galaxies selected from the SDSS spectroscopic survey with optical evidence of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). Our sample includes galaxies with unresolved H i observations from the ALFALFA 70% data release combined with deeper H i observations of low-mass galaxies with

. We examine the H i masses of this sample using the distance from the star-forming sequence on the [O iii]/Hβ and [N ii]/Hα Baldwin Phillips Terlevich (BPT) diagram as a measurement of AGN activity. In agreement with previous studies, we find that, for galaxies with

, AGN activity does not correlate with the global H i content. However, for galaxies with

, we identify a set of objects at large distances from the BPT star-forming sequence and lower than expected H i masses. This gas-depleted sample is red in both g − r and NUV − r colors and compact without distinguishable signs of star formation. This is surprising because the vast majority of isolated galaxies in this stellar mass regime are both star-forming and gas-rich. These galaxies are greater than 1.5 Mpc from any massive galaxy, ruling out environmental processes as a source of the gas depletion. We suggest that either black hole feedback or shocks from extremely bursty star formation cause the emission lines and have destroyed or otherwise consumed the cold gas.
dart_board: Binary Population Synthesis with Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Authors: Andrews Jeff J. , Zezas Andreas , Fragos Tassos 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
By employing Monte Carlo random sampling, traditional binary population synthesis (BPS) offers a substantial improvement in efficiency over brute force, grid-based studies. Even so, BPS models typically require a large number of simulation realizations, a computationally expensive endeavor, to generate statistically robust results. Recent advances in statistical methods have led us to revisit the traditional approach to BPS. In this work we describe our publicly available code dart_board, which combines rapid binary evolution codes, typically used in traditional BPS, with modern Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. dart_board takes a novel approach that treats the initial binary parameters and the supernova kick vector as model parameters. This formulation has several advantages, including the ability to model either populations of systems or individual binaries, the natural inclusion of observational uncertainties, and the flexible addition of new constraints, which are problematic to include using traditional BPS. After testing our code with mock systems, we demonstrate the flexibility of dart_board by applying it to three examples: (i) a generic population of high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs); (ii) the population of HMXBs in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), in which the spatially resolved star formation history is used as a prior; and (iii) one particular HMXB in the LMC, Swift J0513.4−6547, in which we include observations of the system’s component masses and orbital period. Although this work focuses on HMXBs, dart_board can be applied to a variety of stellar binaries, including the recent detections by gravitational wave observatories of merging compact object binaries.

Published: July 2018

Context: Performing shoulder-abduction exercises with scapular retraction has been theorized to reduce the potential for shoulder impingement. However, objective data to support this premise are lacking.Objective: To evaluate the influence of active scapular retraction on acromiohumeral distance (AHD) at 4 shoulder-abduction angles using real-time ultrasound.Design: Cross-sectional study.Setting: University laboratory.Patients or Other Participants: Twenty asymptomatic individuals (10 men, 10 women; age = 22.9 ± 2.8 years, height = 169.3 ± 9.5 cm, mass = 65.5 ± 12.9 kg) were recruited.Main Outcome Measure(s): Real-time ultrasound images of AHD were obtained during nonretracted and retracted scapular conditions at 0°, 45°, 60°, and 90° of shoulder abduction. A 2-factor analysis of variance with repeated measures was used to evaluate the influence of shoulder retraction on AHD across shoulder-abduction angles.Results: A scapular-retraction condition × shoulder-abduction–angle interaction for AHD was found (F3,57 = 4.56, P = .006). The AHD was smaller at 0° (10.5 versus 11.2 mm, respectively; t19 = 2.22, P = .04) but larger at 90° (9.4 versus 8.7 mm, respectively; t19 = −2.30, P = .04) of shoulder abduction during the retracted than the nonretracted condition. No differences in AHD were observed between conditions at 45° (t19 = 1.45, P = .16) and 60° (t19 = 1.17, P = .86) of abduction.Conclusions: The observed differences in AHD at 0° and 90° of shoulder abduction were small and did not exceed the established minimal detectable change for either angle. Our findings suggest that active scapular retraction during shoulder abduction has a minimal influence on AHD at 0° and 90° in healthy individuals. Further investigations are needed to determine whether scapular retraction influences AHD in individuals with subacromial impingement.
Freedom, Power, and the Global Economic Order
Authors: Sutch Peter 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
This article develops arguments found in chapter six of Freedom Is Power: Liberty through Political Representation, concerning how Hamilton's account of freedom might inform our thinking about global justice. Hamilton's work grapples with the problem of domination and freedom in a postapartheid and postcolonial world order. While we find important statements of this theme in some of the canonical texts of the tradition, Hamilton's treatment of the theme hints at a further reaching, more demanding engagement with “real modern freedom”—freedom in the vast shadow of economic, political, and cultural domination. This contribution seeks to place his work within debates in normative international political theory and to compare his position (and its implications) with those arguing for normative and institutional change in world politics including questions of distributive justice and global economic governance.
Blockchain, společenská smlouva digitálního věku?
Authors: Kasl František 
Published: July 2018

Příspěvek nabízí stručné pojednání o nalézání legitimity definiční autority skrze teorii společenské smlouvy aplikovaném na prostředí technologie blockchain. Po úvodním shrnutí historického vývoje tohoto zásadního teoretického konceptu je pozornost zaměřena na limity, které mu jsou vystavovány v prostředí kyberprostoru. Následně je zmíněna role definičních autorit a jejich význam v tomto kontextu. Pozornost se pak již přesouvá na technologii blockchain, jakožto možný inovativní legitimační model vhodně kombinující požadavek na implicitní podporu většiny s potřebou výkonu autoritativní moci skrze mechanismus s reálným dosahem na dané prostředí. Po rozboru systému vytváření důvěry, změny definičních norem a organizaci podílu na autoritativním výkonu moci v rámci této platformy je však formulován názor, že tato nová technologie, sice přenáší problém legitimity na novou úroveň, ale v jeho vlastní podstatě jej neřeší.

AbstractThe synthesis of transferrin (Tf)‐modified pegylated graphene (PG) and its application as a highly efficient drug delivery carrier for therapy of Ocular Choroidal Melanoma‐1 (OCM‐1) cells is presented. For the first reported time, nanoscaled PG is prepared using an environmentally friendly ball‐milling technique. The unique 2D nanostructure obtained using this PG synthesis approach offers considerable advantages in terms of drug loading and delivery, as well as the conjugation of Tf to PG providing a more targeted delivery vehicle. A highly efficient targeted pathway toward OCM‐1 cells triggered by an affinity between Tf and Tf receptors expressed on the surface of OCM‐1 cells is reported first here. PG‐Tf is observed to easily anchor anticancer drugs such as doxorubicin via π–π stacking. This work performs a Transwell two cells coculture experiment, a 3D in vitro tumor model, and an in vivo mouse model with OCM‐1 tumors to demonstrate the composite's therapeutic superiority over conventional systems for the targeted delivery and controlled release of antitumor drugs.

AbstractThe complexities and functionalities of carbon nanotube (CNT) architectures can be enhanced even further by the addition of nanoparticles of different kinds. Here, a simple and easily scalable energy efficient infiltration technique is demonstrated to incorporate iron oxide (Fe3O4) particles into aligned forests of CNTs grown by chemical vapor deposition. Scanning electron microscopy and in situ confocal microscopy confirm the presence of Fe3O4 and also explain the mechanism of infiltration and entrapment in the nanotube films. The obtained hybrid films are demonstrated to be excellent field emitters. The infiltration of nanoparticle results in an order of magnitude improvement in the turn‐on field, which can be attributed to several advantageous factors such as reduced screening effects, improved conductivity, and local electric field enhancement in the proximity of the particles. The present method is generic and thus can be applied to other magnetic particles and porous host materials aiming at innovative sensor, electrical and environmental applications.

AbstractMemristive devices acting as high‐performance in‐memory computing fabrics have attracted much attention for nonvolatile parallel architectures to break the von Neumann bottleneck. Here, for the first time, a nonvolatile digital logic system with three‐terminal Pt/SiO2/Pt/Ag/GeTe/Ta one‐memristor‐one‐resistor (1M1R) structure is presented. Programmable nonvolatile Boolean logic gates and clocked sequential logic blocks including D latch and D flip‐flop are experimentally implemented, based on which a 4‐bit linear‐feedback shift register with timing design is functionally verified in simulation. With information generation, processing, transmission, and storage performing within the same 1M1R‐based logic blocks, these results consolidate the feasibility of building memristive digital computing system for future non‐von Neumann computing.
