Authors: Huuse M. , Le Heron D. P. , Dixon R. , Redfern J. , Moscariello A. , Craig J. 
Published: November 2012

Abstract

Glaciogenic reservoirs host important hydrocarbon and groundwater resources across the globe. Their complexity and importance for exploration and palaeoclimate reconstruction have made glaciogenic successions popular subjects for study. In this paper we provide an overview of the palaeoclimatic and tectonic setting for Earth glaciation and a chronological account of glaciogenic deposits since
c.
750 Ma, with particular emphasis on their reservoir potential and associated hydrocarbon systems. Hydrocarbon accumulations within glaciogenic reservoirs occur principally in Palaeozoic (Late Ordovician and Permo-Carboniferous) sandstones in South America, Australia, North Africa and the Middle East, with relatively minor occurrences of shallow gas hosted in Pleistocene deposits in the North Sea and Canada. Groundwater reserves occur within glaciogenic sandstones across the northern European lowland and in North America. The main glaciogenic environments range from subglacial to glacier front to proglacial and deglacial. Rapidly changing environments, hydrodynamic regimes and glacier-front and subglacial deformation often result in very complex glaciogenic sequences with significant challenges for reconstruction of their origin and resource importance, which this volume seeks to address.
Scaling symbolic execution using ranged analysis
Authors: Siddiqui Junaid Haroon , Khurshid Sarfraz 
Published: November 2012

This paper introduces a novel approach to scale symbolic execution --- a program analysis technique for systematic exploration of bounded execution paths---for test input generation. While the foundations of symbolic execution were developed over three decades ago, recent years have seen a real resurgence of the technique, specifically for systematic bug finding. However, scaling symbolic execution remains a primary technical challenge due to the inherent complexity of the path-based exploration that lies at core of the technique.
Our key insight is that the state of the analysis can be represented highly compactly: a test input is all that is needed to effectively encode the state of a symbolic execution run. We present ranged symbolic execution, which embodies this insight and uses two test inputs to define a range, i.e., the beginning and end, for a symbolic execution run. As an application of our approach, we show how it enables scalability by distributing the path exploration---both in a sequential setting with a single worker node and in a parallel setting with multiple workers. As an enabling technology, we leverage the open-source, state-of-the-art symbolic execution tool KLEE. Experimental results using 71 programs chosen from the widely deployed GNU Coreutils set of Unix utilities show that our approach provides a significant speedup over KLEE. For example, using 10 worker cores, we achieve an average speed-up of 6.6X for the 71 programs.

Abstract
Purpose: Although the anti–EGF receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody cetuximab is an effective strategy in colorectal cancer therapy, its clinical use is limited by intrinsic or acquired resistance. Alterations in the “sphingolipid rheostat”—the balance between the proapoptotic molecule ceramide and the mitogenic factor sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)—due to sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) overactivation have been involved in resistance to anticancer-targeted agents. Moreover, cross-talks between SphK1 and EGFR-dependent signaling pathways have been described.
Experimental design: We investigated SphK1 contribution to cetuximab resistance in colorectal cancer, in preclinical in vitro/in vivo models, and in tumor specimens from patients.
Results: SphK1 was found overexpressed and overactivated in colorectal cancer cells with intrinsic or acquired resistance to cetuximab. SphK1 contribution to resistance was supported by the demonstration that SphK1 inhibition by N,N-dimethyl-sphingosine or silencing via siRNA in resistant cells restores sensitivity to cetuximab, whereas exogenous SphK1 overexpression in sensitive cells confers resistance to these agents. Moreover, treatment of resistant cells with fingolimod (FTY720), a S1P receptor (S1PR) antagonist, resulted in resensitization to cetuximab both in vitro and in vivo, with inhibition of tumor growth, interference with signal transduction, induction of cancer cells apoptosis, and prolongation of mice survival. Finally, a correlation between SphK1 expression and cetuximab response was found in colorectal cancer patients. Clin Cancer Res; 19(1); 138–47. ©2012 AACR.
EC Readmission Agreements: A Prime Instrument of the External Dimension of the EU’s Fight against Irregular Immigration. An Assessment after Ten Years of Practice
Authors: Billet Carole 
Published: November 2012

Abstract
As the EU becomes the focal point of immigration in the world, it faces a growing number of irregular immigrants in addition to regular immigrants. In order to improve the management of its external borders, the EU tries to cooperate with the migrants’ countries of origin and of transit. Among the legal instruments available, one of the foremost are the so-called “readmission agreements” which facilitate the removal of migrants who are irregularly present on the parties’ soil. This article assesses the use of EC readmission agreements as a prime instrument of the external dimension of the EU’s fight against irregular immigration and argues that these agreements have become instruments of first importance but without necessarily being of greatest relevance. The analysis starts with a systematic approach, looking at readmission agreements in the context of the other existing tools used by the EU institutions and also in the context of the readmission cooperation existing with third states. Then, the analysis considers the legal issues relating to the conclusion of EC readmission agreements and the challenges highlighted by the determination of their contents. This article also discusses the question of the outcome of the implementation of these agreements.
Meditation and Atonement in the Art of Marc Chagall
Authors: Jeffrey David Lyle 
Published: November 2012

AbstractChagall’s crucifixion paintings, long a delicate subject among art historians, are best contextualized in the light of his life-long repatriation of Christian iconography to its Jewish foundation. Chagall reverses typological sequences familiar to Christians, so that instead of the Old Testament being seen as prefiguring the events of the Gospels, in his work the New Testament refers back to the Hebrew Scriptures in such a way as to illuminate the universal in Jewish experience. InSolitude(1933) andThe Yellow Crucifixion(1943) we see how Chagall achieves a remarkable fusion of Jewish and Christian understandings of meditation and visual commentary on the Scriptures, prophetically calling both traditions to repentance and reconciliation.
The Earliest Manuscript Title of Matthew’s Gospel (BnF Suppl. gr. 1120 ii 3 / 𝔓4)
Authors: Gathercole Simon 
Published: November 2012

Abstract
A flyleaf bearing the title of Matthew’s gospel, found with the Luke fragments of 𝔓4 (henceforth P4), has been neglected in studies of P4 as well as in editions of the Greek New Testament. This article publishes for the first time a photograph of the flyleaf, and seeks to provide an accurate transcription of the often misspelled title. It also discusses the various factors impinging upon the date of the fragment, such as the Philo codex in which it was found and the apostrophe in the middle of Matthew’s name. A date in the late second or early third century makes best sense of the evidence, making this neglected flyfleaf the earliest manuscript title of Matthew’s gospel.
Monetisation and the Genesis of the Western Subject
Authors: Seaford Richard 
Published: November 2012

AbstractThis paper searches early Greek texts (Homer, Herakleitos, Parmenides, Plato) for the genesis of the idea of the individual mind or soul as a unitary site of consciousness, and explores the relation of this genesis to the first monetisation in history. Money simultaneously promotes the isolated autonomy of the individual and provides a model (the unification of diversity by semi-abstract substance) that shapes both the unity of individual consciousness and the presocratic conception of the cosmos as constituted by a single semi-abstract substance. The argument confirms and develops the importance accorded by Alfred Sohn-Rethel to the ‘real abstraction’ of commodity-exchange in the origins of Greek philosophy.
Anchoring Democracy in Indigenous African Institutions 1
Authors: AYANA DANIEL 
Published: November 2012

ABSTRACT
Scholars have suggested the importance of integrating African democratization process with grassroots institutions for longterm consolidation. However, the major problem remained the inadequacy of secularism in disentangling the religious from the non-religious intertwined in indigenous African institutions. This essay reconsiders the Burckhardtian notion of secularism for a recalibrated definition that embraces a trajectory of transposed values. Debunking the Burckhardtian notion opens up an analytic terrain relegated to the "religious." Thus indigenous African religions are re-conceptualized as civic religions to shed light on their public aspects. The essay then identifies collective ceremonies and the attendant secular/civic rituals as the grassroots institutions "housed" in indigenous African religions. The analysis also locates the disjuncture between independent African states and the grassroots institutions at this level of collective ceremonies, perceived as "sacral" or "irrational." The objective is to harness them as African building blocks for democratic consolidation.
How Good is the South African Media for Democracy?
Authors: JACOBS SEAN 
Published: November 2012

ABSTRACT
This article argues that media are not merely conduits for the government, political parties or citizens in post-apartheid South Africa, but have emerged as autonomous power centres in competition with other power centres. The transformation of the South African media since the demise of apartheid has taken the form of significant changes in the media's environment. There is now freedom to criticise the government, unprecedented access to state-held information, and the state's monopoly over broadcasting and diversification of commercial print media has been broken. Yet these developments have not in themselves had very many positive effects on democratic participation, and the media have not engaged in an effective critique of the country's continuing high levels of social and economic inequality or the structural constraints on the democratisation of its political life. Jacob examines the nature of South Africa's political transition from white-domination and apartheid regime to negotiated and "mediated democracy" that has adopted neoliberal economic policies to ascertain the reasons for this seemingly contradictory outcome.
Dowry and Dowry Harassment in India: An Assessment Based on Modified Capitalist Patriarchy*
Authors: SAMUEL EDITH 
Published: November 2012

ABSTRACT
Listen to the many women
Listen to the many voices
Spoken and unspoken1
On March 27, 1984, "The Times of India" reported that in Delhi, "a bride is burnt to death every twelve hours." 2 The number of dowry deaths has steadily increased in the 1980s and 1990s. Even though the official number of dowry deaths rose from 6,758 in 1996 to 7,543 in 1997,3 unofficial estimates of dowry deaths figure around a staggering 25,000 annually. 4 Classical socialist feminist traditions have inadequately addressed the widespread prevalence of this social practice. Drawing from primary and secondary sources, this article reconceptualizes and reframes the "legitimate" practice of dowry from a modified socialist feminist perspective. A modified capitalist patriarchal approach that includes caste and religion is necessary to expound the primacy of the phenomenon. As well, this critique suggests recommendations for social change.

Demographic Changes in Iran's Officially Recognized Religious Minority Populations since the Islamic Revolution
Authors: HEMMASI MOHAMMAD , PROROK CAROLYN V. 
Published: November 2012

ABSTRACT
Besides Islam, Iran is home to adherents of three of the world's oldest religions: Zoroastrianism, Judaism and Christianity, and to one of the youngest, Baha'i. Significant changes have occurred in the size, composition, and spatial distribution of Iran's officially recognized religious minority populations since the 1970s. This study analyzes these demographic changes with a particular emphasis on their characteristics relative to the preand post-1979 Revolution. Overall, religious minority populations of Iran have drastically declined in number, and they have become increasingly concentrated in several urban areas during the last two decades. In comparison to Muslims, they have lower fertility, mortality, gender and dependency ratios, greater emigration, and a greater proportion of their populations is elderly. Both historic and contemporary socio-political and economic circumstances at the national level are the root causes of these demographic changes.
Un muḥaddiṯ muʿ tazilite zaydite : Abū Saʿ d al-Sammān al-Rāzī et ses Amālī*
Authors: Ansari Hassan 
Published: November 2012

Résumé
Abū Saʿd Ismāʿīl b. ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn al-Sammān al-Rāzī l-Ḥāfiẓ (m. 445/1053) était un transmetteur de ḥadīṯs (muḥaddiṯ) avec un attachement muʿtazilite. Il était un disciple de Qāḍī ʿAbd al-Ğabbār al-Hamaḏānī (m. 415/1025), et vivait à Rayy. Sa particularité la plus importante tient au fait que, malgré son appartenance au courant muʿtazilite, il était à la fois célèbre parmi les autorités de Ḥadīṯ sunnites – qui étaient naturellement adversaires des muʿtazilites –, grâce à ses profondes connaissances du Ḥadīṯ et grâce à ses nombreux voyages effectués dans des villes différentes pour entendre et apprendre des traditions prophétiques auprès de différents transmetteurs. Il a composé un recueil de ḥadīṯs sous le titre Amālī.
Apparitions and Apparatuses: On the Framing and Staging of Religious Events
Authors: Jackson Peter 
Published: November 2012

Abstract
Two assumptions associated with the burgeoning field of cultural studies—the indeterminacy of meaning and the strategic play of power determining the limits of knowledge—are often prescribed as antidotes to the delusions of religion and scientific realism. We need not wholeheartedly subscribe to this epistemic relativism to acknowledge that similar assumptions could also apply to situations that are overtly framed and staged within culture so as to invite momentary participation. Despite the occasional insistence on unconditional faith and adherence, this seems especially true of religious behaviour. In demonstrating how such assumptions can be productively redescribed as focal concerns of religious participation, this paper endeavors to remove religion from some of the dichotomous sets (e.g., belief/disbelief, rationality/irrationality, obligation/freedom, agency/chance) in which it often gets entangled.
Der Zoroastrismus als iranische religion und die Semantik von ,Iran' in der zoroastrischen religionsgeschichte
Authors: Stausberg Michael 
Published: November 2012

AbstractZoroastrianism, one of the three recognized religious minorities in the Islamic Republic, can claim a specific linkage with Iran since the Avestan Vendidād and its other primary religious documents were written in Iranian languages and its history has for the most part unfolded in Iran (in a larger geographical sense). The term Aryan is used in inscriptions by the Achaemenian king Darius I as a way to gloss the name of the deity Ahura Mazdā (the 'God of the Aryans'). In the Sasanian period, Iran became the name of the empire. Zoroastrian literature written under Islamic rule, reaffirms the idea of a unity between kingship and (Zoroastrian) religion, but transposes its realization into the eschatological future. After centuries of decline and discrimination, twentieth-century modernization entailed the prospect of societal reintegration for Zoroastrians; an unachieved hope under the Pahlavis, this prospect has become even more remote under the political conditions imposed by the Islamic Republic, where Zoroastrians now use the vocabulary of martyrdom to express their commitment to their homeland.
Das Bild der Jüdischen Mutter zwischen Schtetl und Großstadt
Authors: Ludewig Anna-Dorothea 
Published: November 2012

AbstractThe Jewish Mother, or Jiddische Mamme, is one of the most popular images of the Jewess in mid-19th and 20th century. Linked to the biblical Jewish women and mothers, arises a complex negative-grotesque stereotype, which is connected to the traditional image of the Jewess as ,,home-keeper“ and was developed by the Shtetl-literature into a bitter and inapproachable ,,family provider“. Finally, the overprotective and manipulative Jewish Mother is an integral part of American literature, film and comedy. The paper will trace these changes of meaning and also analyse the Jewish Mother in the framework of the different presentations and representations of the Jewish woman.
The Catholic Charismatic Renewal in Latin America
Authors: Gooren Henri 
Published: November 2012

Abstract
The Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) is the most important lay movement in the Roman Catholic Church in Latin America, yet it has received scant academic attention. After describing the start of the CCR, I discuss its expansion into Latin America, its self-understanding, outsider criticisms, responses of national bishops’ conferences, and two country case studies based on my first-hand ethnographic fieldwork: Nicaragua and Paraguay. I end with some general conclusions, chief of which is my analysis of the CCR as a globalized revitalization movement that aims to (re)connect individual Catholics to the Roman Catholic Church.
Factors shaping population density, demography and spatial organization of the Eurasian badger Meles meles in mountains – the Western Carpathians (Southern Poland) as a case study

We studied the socio-spatial ecology of the Eurasian badger (Meles meles) along the altitudinal gradient (250-1257 m a.s.l.) of the Western Carpathians (Southern Poland), 2004-2009. Family groups were small (mean 2.3 individuals) and home-ranges large (mean 5.42 km2, MCP 100%), which gave a low population density (2.2 individuals/10 km2). Badgers foraged mainly in the foothills, irrespective of the altitude at which their sett was located. They mostly searched for food in meadows, pastures and arable fields (34.4% of telemetry locations), or among shrubs (33.9%). Badgers were killed by hunters (0.37 individuals/10 km2annually), and by wolves (0.07 individuals/10 km2). The badger population density was influenced mostly by the abundance of earthworms and hunting pressure, while the size and shape of their territories was determined by the distribution of foraging grounds.

I LOMBRICHI DI SPALLANZANI. NOTOMIE INEDITE CONTRO I GARBUGLI E PASTICCI DELL'ARGOMENTO DI ANALOGIA*
Authors: MONTI MARIA TERESA 
Published: November 2012

Abstracttitle SUMMARY /title As though embarrassed by the huge amount of material he stored up, Spallanzani hid entire parts of his biological project. A good example is given by 25 laboratory notebooks which were to constitute the basis of a major work on regeneration he announced in the year 1768 and never published. There Spallanzani recorded anatomical observations he carried out on some annelids with a refinement of method and critical understanding only equalled by Malpighi and Lyonnet when observing caterpillars. His research on these organisms highlights how critically Spallanzani referred to the various versions of the generally accepted principle of the uniformity of composition of animal structure.

LA GEOMETRIA LOBACEVSKIANA E LA FILOSOFIA DELLA MATEMATICA DI AUGUSTE COMTE
Authors: CICENIA SALVATORE 
Published: November 2012

Abstracttitle SUMMARY /title In this paper we effect an historical reconstruction of the relationship between N.I. Lobacevskij's conception of the foundations of geometry and that of A. Comte. We can establish a meaningful convergence between Lobacevskian physical geometry, based on the solid bodies and the section operation, and the mathematique concrte of the positivistic philosopher, as we can note in some of Comtian writings of mathematics philosophy published posthumously, as well as in Cours de philosophie positive. By means of criticising the principles of science, in their common antimethaphysical conception of knowledge theory, Lobacevskij and Comte put the traditional core of science, which seemed to have no alternative and had had the paradigms of scientific knowledge in Euclidean geometry and in Newtonian mechanics, in a critical position. This happens by referring to Lagrange and Fourier. Moreover, the 'Fourierist core' of Comtian work has a reference in Lobacevskij's physical geometry and some of Fourier's ideas, expressed in one of his geometrical manuscripts, lead to the basic concepts of the parallel straight lines theory of the Russian geometer, surprisingly.

Abstracttitle SUMMARY /title The piarist Odoardo Corsini (Fanano, 1702-1765) is better known as an historian, for his studies about both numismatics and chronology. Less known is his activity in the scientific field, which led him to exchange letters with many scientists of his time. Corsini's activity in hydraulics is witnessed by booklets, not recorded in bibliographies, and by his correspondence. The article ends with the transcription of two letters by Antonio Vallisneri to Corsini, where the problem of the origin of springs is mentioned.
