Theoretical Model of Acoustic Wave Propagation in Shallow Water
Authors: Kozaczka Eugeniusz , Grelowska Grażyna 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
The work is devoted to the propagation of low frequency waves in a shallow sea. As a source of acoustic waves, underwater disturbances generated by ships were adopted. A specific feature of the propagation of acoustic waves in shallow water is the proximity of boundaries of the limiting media characterised by different impedance properties, which affects the acoustic field coming from a source situated in the water layer “deformed” by different phenomena. The acoustic field distribution in the real shallow sea is affected not only by multiple reflections, but also by stochastic changes in the free surface shape, and statistical changes in the seabed shape and impedance. The paper discusses fundamental problems of modal sound propagation in the water layer over different types of bottom sediments. The basic task in this case was to determine the acoustic pressure level as a function of distance and depth. The results of the conducted investigation can be useful in indirect determination of the type of bottom.
Agent-Based Evacuation in Passenger Ships Using a Goal-Driven Decision-Making Model
Authors: Ni Baocheng , Li Zhen , Li Xiang 
Published: July 2017

Abstract
A new agent-based model is proposed to support designers in assessing the evacuation capabilities of passenger ships and in improving ship safety. It comprises models for goal-driven decision-making, path planning, and movement. The goal-driven decision-making model determines an agent’s target by decomposing abstract goals into subgoals. The path-planning model plans the shortest path from the agent’s current position to its target. The movement model is a combination of social-force and steering models to control the agent in moving along its path. The utility of the proposed model is verified using 11 tests for passenger ships proposed by the Maritime Safety Committee of the International Maritime Organization.

The Dialectics of Sovereignty and Property
Authors: Dellavalle Sergio 
Published: July 2017

AbstractRespectively in the public andin the private spheres, both sovereignty and property are expressions of the turn to the primacy of the interests of the individual at the beginning of the Modern Ages: in the first case this primacy is related to the individual state, in the second to the individual economic actor. The centrality of individuality, as the most distinguishing feature of modern thinking, thus lies at the basis of the interconnection between the two concepts. This is developed according to three distinct patterns. In the light of the first pattern, sovereignty degenerates into a mere means in the service of defending private interests, thereby eluding its fundamental public function. On the other hand, from the perspective of the second pattern, individual property leaves the private domain, claiming absoluteness and presuming to replace the public dimension. Both these patterns reflect one-sided relations in which the two terms — sovereignty and property — merge in opposite ways, but always losing their specific content and rationale in the context of the social order. The third pattern is the only one in which sovereignty and property maintain their respective functions, with the two elements synergistically contributing to a social order in which public sphere and private dimension are both recognized as essential components. Here, public sovereignty and private property are co-essential insofar as sovereignty derives from individual will, private property is fundamental for the individual to pursue the personal self-realization that lies at the basis of his/ her legitimation of sovereignty, and — finally — public power is at the service of defending the rights and interests of all individuals.
The Human Right to Private Property
Authors: Dagan Hanoch , Dorfman Avihay 
Published: July 2017

AbstractFor private property to be legitimately recognized as a universal human right, its meaning should pass the test of self-imposability by an end. In this Essay, we argue, negatively, that the prevailing (libertarian) understanding of private property cannot plausibly meet this demanding standard; and develop, affirmatively, a liberal conception which has a much better prospect of meeting property’s justificatory challenge. Private property, on our account, is an empowering device, which is crucial both to people’s personal autonomy (understood in terms of self-determination) and to their relational equality (understood in terms of reciprocal respect and recognition among persons). The liberal conception of the human right to property has both vertical and horizontal significance — it implies respect from both the public authority and other individuals — which means that it is thoroughly political but not necessarily statist.Our account generates important implications, both domestic and transnational. Domestically, it implies that whereas some property rights should be subject to strong constitutional protection, state law should facilitate other types of private and non-private property institutions, and these property institutions may well be subject to non-owners’ claims to access and, more broadly, to being treated respectfully. Furthermore, our conception of the human right to property requires that everyone have the unusual authority typical of full-blown private ownership. Transnationally, our analysis highlights a freestanding dimension of relational justice, which is relevant across borders even given that our distributive obligations are statist. This injunction of relational justice in transnational interactions brings into question the adequacy of the current state of the law, according to which these interactions are mainly governed by choice-of-law rules that conceptualize them as wholly subsumed under the capacities of the parties as citizens of their respective polities.
Sovereignty and the Politics of Property
Authors: Benvenisti Eyal 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe debate whether property is a limit on or the product of sovereignty envisages a tension between “the individual owner” and “the state.” But “the state” is not more than the aggregate of individuals who define theirs and others’ property rights through the state’s political process. The underlying tension between property and sovereignty is thus the tension between the economic market and the political market. Owners and others compete simultaneously at both levels to define, protect or improve the value of property. There are two ways to compete in the political marketplace: by engaging in either “high visibility politics” or “low visibility politics.” Diffuse owners rely on high visibility politics promoted by agents such as political parties or trade unions and on elections, referenda and the like, whereas smaller groups of owners prefer the low politics of capturing lawmakers and state executives.When economic markets became global at the end of the Cold War, so did the political markets: property rights increasingly became defined by international agreements, by decisions of international organizations, and by the exercise of “low politics” in foreign, weaker states. The global political markets were dominated by the executive branches of a handful of relatively strong states that, in turn, were responsive to the “low politics” of special interests. The high transaction costs of cooperation among diffuse owners inhibited the parallel rise of “high politics” at the global level. The skewed global political market for property continues to favor special interests, but there are budding attempts to reclaim the space for “high politics” by national regulators and courts. Current negotiations over the so-called “Mega Regional” agreements between the United States and its trading partners will, if successful, nip these buds as they render certain property rights almost immune to the subsequent challenges of high politics.
From Territorial to Monetary Sovereignty
Authors: Pistor Katharina 
Published: July 2017

AbstractState sovereignty is closely intertwined with, but not limited to, control over territory and people. It has long been recognized that control over monetary affairs is a critical part of genuine sovereignty. In this Article, I go a step further and argue that the relevance and importance of territorial versus monetary sovereignty has shifted in favor of the latter. This shift goes hand in hand with the rise of credit-based financial systems. Such systems depend, in the last instance, on backstopping by an entity with control over its own money supply and no binding survival constraints. Only states with monetary sovereignty fit this pattern. All others are de facto more like private entities, which by definition cannot manipulate their own survival constraint. States can surrender their monetary sovereignty directly by adopting another currency or by issuing their own debt in foreign currency and under foreign law. They also compromise their sovereignty by permitting unlimited capital inflows denominated in currencies other than their own. This is because in times of crisis they will not be able to rescue the domestic financial system from its tendency to self-destruct without subjecting itself to a sovereign debt crisis and the implied need to rely on a lifeline from other states or supranational entities.
The Bb-adic Symmetrization of Digital Nets for Quasi-Monte Carlo Integration
Authors: Goda Takashi 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe notion of symmetrization, also known as Davenport’s reflection principle, is well known in the area of the discrepancy theory and quasi- Monte Carlo (QMC) integration. In this paper we consider applying a symmetrization technique to a certain class of QMC point sets called digital nets over ℤb. Although symmetrization has been recognized as a geometric technique in the multi-dimensional unit cube, we give another look at symmetrization as a geometric technique in a compact totally disconnected abelian group with dyadic arithmetic operations. Based on this observation we generalize the notion of symmetrization from base 2 to an arbitrary base b ∈ ℕ, b ≥ 2. Subsequently, we study the QMC integration error of symmetrized digital nets over ℤbin a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. The result can be applied to component-by-component construction or Korobov construction for finding good symmetrized (higher order) polynomial lattice rules which achieve high order convergence of the integration error for smooth integrands at the expense of an exponential growth of the number of points with the dimension. Moreover, we consider two-dimensional symmetrized Hammersley point sets in prime base b, and prove that the minimum Dick weight is large enough to achieve the best possible order of Lpdiscrepancy for all 1 ≤ p < ∞.
On Irregularities of Distribution of Binary Sequences Relative to Arithmetic Progressions, I. (General Results)
Authors: Dartyge Cécile , Gyarmati Katalin , Sárközy András 
Published: July 2017

AbstractIn 1964 K. F. Roth initiated the study of irregularities of distribution of binary sequences relative to arithmetic progressions and since that numerous papers have been written on this subject. In the applications one needs binary sequences which are well distributed relative to arithmetic progressions, in particular, in cryptography one needs binary sequences whose short subsequences are also well-distributed relative to arithmetic progressions. Thus we introduce weighted measures of pseudorandomness of binary sequences to study this property. We study the typical and minimal values of this measure for binary sequences of a given length.

AbstractMild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) can cause severe long-term cognitive and emotional deficits, including impaired memory, depression, and persevering fear, but the neuropathological basis of these deficits is uncertain. As medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampus play important roles in memory and emotion, we used multi-site, multi-electrode recordings of oscillatory neuronal activity in local field potentials (LFPs) in awake, head-fixed mice to determine if the functioning of these regions was abnormal after mTBI, using a closed-skull focal cranial blast model. We evaluated mPFC, hippocampus CA1, and primary somatosensory/visual cortical areas (S1/V1). Although mTBI did not alter the power of oscillations, it did cause increased coherence of θ (4-10 Hz) and β (10-30 Hz) oscillations within mPFC and S1/V1, reduced CA1 sharp-wave ripple (SWR)-evoked LFP activity in mPFC, downshifted SWR frequencies in CA1, and enhanced θ-γ phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) within mPFC. These abnormalities might be linked to the impaired memory, depression, and persevering fear seen after mTBI. Treatment with the cannabinoid type-2 (CB2) receptor inverse agonist SMM-189 has been shown to mitigate functional deficits and neuronal injury after mTBI in mice. We found that SMM-189 also reversed most of the observed neurophysiological abnormalities. This neurophysiological rescue is likely to stem from the previously reported reduction in neuron loss and/or the preservation of neuronal function and connectivity resulting from SMM-189 treatment, which appears to stem from the biasing of microglia from the proinflammatory M1 state to the prohealing M2 state by SMM-189.
Autoexoticism with Promotional Purposes? Samuel-Henri Berthoud and Provincial Literary Ruse in Nineteenth-Century France
Authors: Gosetti Valentina 
Published: July 2017

“There speaks the provincial!”—Goncharov, The Same Old StoryIn nineteenth-century france, the so-called province, denoting everything outside Paris, was considered a foreign land by Parisian writers, who often constructed it as an exotic space. When we deal with this kind of provincial exoticism, however, considering this perspective alone risks painting an incomplete picture of the French literary field. Through the example of Samuel-Henri Berthoud, an author from the north of France, my intention here is to shed light on autoexoticist practices by indigenous provincial writers and to explore how they actively reclaimed, fostered, and enhanced exotic constructions about their provinces. Indeed, a wealth of evidence supports my argument that their acceptance of hegemonic constructions from the dominant culture was not passive but rather an active and creative reappropriation. This essay also challenges the idea of a stable hegemonic cultural center around which the marginal authors and literary works gravitate. Before tackling these issues, let us take a step back and briefly survey the particular value of provincial France at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
El cómic underground y su relación con el Lowbrow Art / Underground comic and its relation with lowbrow art

El arte lowbrow y el cómic underground guardan muchas similitudes. Ambos estaban creados por una juventud cansada de la sociedad en que vivían a la cual criticaban con un toque irónico. Los artistas lowbrow estuvieron influidos desde su infancia por los cómics, que sufrieron la censura en una época en la que la sociedad era muy puritana.Ni grandes editoriales, ni museos, ni galerías de arte elitistas apostaron por ellos, pero se ganaron un sitio en el mundo del arte gracias a su mensaje revolucionario que rompía con todo lo que se venía haciendo hasta ahora.Underground comic and its relation with lowbrow artLowbrow art and underground comics have many similarities. Both were created by young people tired of the society in which they lived and they criticized it with a hint of irony. Lowbrow artists were influenced by comics in their childhood, which suffered censorship at a time when the society was very puritan. No big publishers, no museums, no elitist art galleries bet on them, but they gained a place in the art world thanks to its revolutionary message that broke with everything that had been done so far.
Faz um tempo que preciso contar uma coisa... que não tive coragem de falar: livro-arte de cartas de homossexuais aos pais / Hace tiempo que tengo algo que contar..., y no me atreví a decir / It’s been a while since I have to tell you something..., ...That I did not dare say.

Published: July 2017

Este trabajo tiene como tema la revelación del secreto de la homosexualidad a los padres, por medio de cartas, en un libro-arte. Se realizó un levantamiento de datos en las redes sociales, con amigos, familiares y otras personas que pudieran ceder sus correspondencias y obtener de ellas algunos retornos positivos. Del universo investigado, se entrevistó a todas las personas que escribieron cartas, cuyas edades fluctuaban entre los 18-27 años. Se trabajó con la hipótesis de que las cartas son documentos importantes, gracias a las cuales los padres toman conocimiento sobre la sexualidad de sus hijos. Conjuntamente con las entrevistas y la performance que el propio lector tendrá del libro-arte, las personas analizarán y se sentirán cercanas a esta situación. Las cartas muestran las dificultades de los homosexuales al revelar su verdadera sexualidad, como también el sufrimiento emocional, el miedo de la reacción de los padres y la dificultad como joven al contar algo que, hace mucho tiempo, está guardado como secreto. Este medio de comunicación tiene un papel muy importante en la vida de una familia, y el libro-arte es el soporte para darle el debido valor. Las investigaciones bibliográficas ayudan a entender qué es un secreto y la homosexualidad como uno de ellos. Se aborda también la homofobia en la historia, la carta como un papel importante en la revelación de la sexualidad de un joven a sus padres y cómo el libro-arte es necesario para la interacción del lector.It’s been a while since I have to tell you something..., ...That I did not dare sayThe work is a research into how the secret of homosexuality is revealed to the family, through letters in a book-art. A survey on social networks, with friends, family and others who could give his correspondence was conducted. Thus, people who identified themselves contacted. The survey universe interviews were conducted with those who wrote the letter: young 18-27 years. We hypothesized that the letters are important documents through which the family becomes aware of the sexuality of children. And along with the interviews and the timely performace that the reader will have with the book-art, people analyze and feel belonging to the situation. The letters show the difficulties of homossexual to reveal his/her true sexuality, but also the emotional distress, fear of parental reaction and the difficulty of the young count something that has long been kept secret. This medium has a very important role in the life of a family, and the book-art will be the support to give due value. The bibliographical research help to understand what is a secret and homosexuality as one. It also addresses homophobia in history, the letter as an important role in revealing the sexuality of a young man to his family and as the book-art is necessary for reader interaction.
