description: An increase of social significance of socio-cultural service system as well as the ongoing changes in Russia, reflected in social practices, stipulate the relevance of necessity to study it from social point of view. Not only individual needs but also the processes of managing social actions are of particular importance in social practices of meeting human demands. The work is aimed at analyzing the socio-cultural services to the population in quantitative and qualitative indicators, identifying connections and relationships with indicators of accessibility and opportunities of Russians in social practices. The research is based on general scientific methods, statistical methods (based on official statistics), and sociological methods (expert assessments, questionnaires). The results of the analysis of the volume and structure of services consumption characterize a low share of socio-cultural services and tourism, which affects a person. Causal relationships show a deep differentiation in the area of residence and a discrepancy in the ratio of the level of accessibility and the possibility of consuming socio-cultural services. Forming a management system using the principles and methods of servicing a person in its various aspects and considering Russian specifics increases the conditions and standard of living of the citizens of our country.

description: This chapter offers a critical perspective on the contingent formation of artificial intelligence as a key sociotechnical institution in contemporary societies. It shows how the development of AI is not merely a product of functional technological development and improvement but depends just as much on economical, political, and discursive drivers. It builds on work from STS and critical algorithm studies surfacing that technological developments are always contingent on and resulting from transformations along multiple scientific trajectories as well as interaction between multiple actors and discourses. For our conceptual understanding of AI and its epistemology, this is a concequential perspective. It directs attention on different issues: away from detecting impact and bias ex post, and towards a perspective that centers on how AI is coming into being as a powerful sociotechnical entity. We illustrate this process in three key domains: technological research, media discourse, and regulatory governance.

description: Intersection with the debris of a large (50-100 km) short-period comet during the Upper Palaeolithic provides a satisfactory explanation for the catastrophe of celestial origin which has been postulated to have occurred around 12900 BP, and which presaged a return to ice age conditions of duration ~1300 years. The Taurid Complex appears to be the debris of this erstwhile comet; it includes at least 19 of the brightest near-Earth objects. Sub-kilometre bodies in meteor streams may present the greatest regional impact hazard on timescales of human concern.

description: The research focuses on defining the level of digital literacy among the professionals engaged in the hospitality segment, specifically lodging and catering facilities of the Republic of Crimea in order to achieve their best possible performance and extend the field of their productive employment; the latter contributes to the greater efficiency of the performance potential use due to the implementation of advanced technologies and accommodation of its key components in the context of the information (digital) society. Notably, the key components required to reach high level of digital literacy among professionals employed at lodging and catering companies of the Republic of Crimea and develop it into a competence applicable not only in the professional scope, but also in daily life include information literacy, computer literacy, communication literacy, attitude to technological innovations, digital consumption and digital safety. It has been found that the components of digital literacy play a major role in building a professional’s career under the conditions of fierce competition on the labour market or for access to professional knowledge. The conclusion has been made that the digital transformations in the economy of the Republic of Crimea and daily lives of its citizens make the driving force of the innovations, improvement of the living standards and social welfare; thus, it is important to be aware of the transformation towards new technologies while taking into consideration the components of digital literacy, of the re-education which helps acquire the competencies for the digital economy within the framework of continuing professional education and adopting new knowledge and technologies.
Discussion Lines on Gender and Transitional Justice: An Introductory Essay Reflecting on the ICTJ Bellagio Workshop on Gender and Transitional Justice
Creators: name: Nesiah, Vasuki
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2006

description: Feminist interventions have challenged the field of transitional justice, developed approaches, and formulated critiques that have revisited many foundational assumptions regarding the human rights canon and the role of legal processes, truth commissions, and other institutions in advancing justice struggles. In some areas feminist interventions in practice and scholarship had gained wider recognition and influenced developments in the field. However, in many other areas, feminist interventions have remained on the margins, with little discussion occurring even among feminists. It was in this context that the ICTJ gender program sought to convene a seminar that would take stock of feminist approaches in the field of transitional justice thus far while also providing a forum for considering how feminist critical inquiry may continue to transform the intellectual boundaries and settled practices of the field. It was also a seminar for debating differences among feminists regarding political priorities and strategies. The discussion was structured around the four commissioned pre-circulated papers on ideas of “victimization,” “truth,” “justice,” and “political violence” that are published in this volume. Each of the paper presentations and subsequent discussions addressed the conceptual assumptions behind transitional justice approaches in countries as diverse as India, Australia, South Africa, and Northern Ireland, foregrounding critical debates about what is at stake in transitional justice for feminists, and considering what “engendering” transitional justice actually means. Creating and fostering a space for constructive debate and engendering a critically reflective practice presented provocative challenges in both the planning process and the unfolding of the seminar itself. We questioned whether to engage with the canon by structuring discussion against the received precepts of ‘transitional justice’, or to use a different starting point that would not re-inscribe the field’s constitutive assumptions in contesting them. For instance, practitioners and scholars may often refer to the “pillars” of transitional justice: prosecutions, truth commissions (TRCs), reparations, institutional reform, and reconciliation initiatives. These are the established institutional avenues that structure and shape the conceptual imagination of the field, and ground its normative vision through institutions and practices. In organizing this seminar, however, we chose not to structure the discussion around these pillars, in hopes of launching a discussion that would allow us to revisit the boundaries of transitional justice.

Design Patterns for Multithreaded Algorithm Design and Implementation

Year: 2023

description: Modern computing hardware typically provides multiple cores and high-performance memory systems well suited to parallel computing, especially shared memory approaches. Yet despite these ubiquitous resources, much scientific computing software is still implemented using sequential approaches or is in dire need of a performance makeover. We believe that part of the reason for this is a perception that parallel algorithms are hard to design and implement. We are of the view that instead, a wealth of opportunities exists to reimagine classic and emerging algorithms, to better address the large-data challenges facing us as a community. The key is to become familiar with basic parallel computing design patterns, enabling algorithm developers to readily create performant software.
 In this panel presentation, two developers with long experience developing parallel algorithms will describe common parallel design patterns by working through two classic algorithms: iso-contouring and surface extraction from volume. Topics addressed include removing bottlenecks; using multiple passes to configure data output, process data, and produce output; and compositing methods to avoid costly mutexes and other synchronization mechanisms. Also, simple but powerful techniques using functions like prefix sums and sorting algorithms, in conjunction with parallel for loops and atomic variables will be described. The emphasis will be on high-level conceptual approaches, and not the details of a particular implementation language / framework.

description: River streamflows are excellent climatic indicators since they integrate precipitation over large areas. Here we follow up on our previous study of the influence of solar activity on the flow of the Parana River, in South America. We find that the unusual minimum of solar activity in recent years have a correlation on very low levels in the Parana's flow, and we report historical evidence of low water levels during the Little Ice Age. We also study data for the streamflow of three other rivers (Colorado, San Juan and Atuel), and snow levels in the Andes. We obtained that, after eliminating the secular trends and smoothing out the solar cycle, there is a strong positive correlation between the residuals of both the Sunspot Number and the streamflows, as we obtained for the Parana. Both results put together imply that higher solar activity corresponds to larger precipitation, both in summer and in wintertime, not only in the large basin of the Parana, but also in the Andean region north of the limit with Patagonia.

description: The article covers the possibility of accommodation establishments green certification as a tool for greening the tourist industry. The analysis is provided for available statistics of certified hotels in Russia and abroad and the conclusion is made on the low level of accommodation sector green certification. The major barriers hindering the widespread of green certification practice in the Russian accommodation sector were researched. It is concluded that the feasibility of green certification as a tool for tourism greening on the one hand is determined by the level of environmental culture and development of the knowledge-based system on the certification goals and procedures among consumers and by the position of certification in the company's external communications system. On the other hand, by the availability of this greening tool for the majority of tourist market participants. The need for more thorough research on the content and factors determining environmentally responsible behavior of Russian tourists is substantiated.

description: Suzaku observations of the blazar OJ 287 were performed in 2007 April 10--13 and November 7--9. They correspond to a quiescent and a flaring state, respectively. The X-ray spectra can be well described with single power-law models in both exposures. The derived X-ray photon index and the flux density at 1 keV were found to be Gamma = 1.65 +- 0.02 and S_{1 keV} = 215 +- 5 nJy, in the quiescent state. In the flaring state, the source exhibited a harder X-ray spectrum (Gamma = 1.50 +- 0.01) with a nearly doubled X-ray flux density S_{1 keV} = 404^{+6}_{-5} nJy. Moreover, significant hard X-ray signals were detected up to ~ 27 keV. In cooperation with the Suzaku, simultaneous radio, optical, and very-high-energy gamma-ray observations were performed with the Nobeyama Millimeter Array, the KANATA telescope, and the MAGIC telescope, respectively. The radio and optical fluxes in the flaring state (3.04 +- 0.46 Jy and 8.93 +- 0.05 mJy at 86.75 Hz and in the V-band, respectively) were found to be higher by a factor of 2--3 than those in the quiescent state (1.73 +- 0.26 Jy and 3.03 +- 0.01 mJy at 86.75 Hz and in the V-band, respectively). No notable gamma-ray events were detected in either observation. The spectral energy distribution indicated that the X-ray spectrum was dominated by inverse Compton radiation in both observations, while synchrotron radiation exhibited a spectral cutoff around the optical frequency. Furthermore, no significant difference in the synchrotron cutoff frequency was found between the quiescent and flaring states. According to a simple synchrotron self-Compton model, the change of the spectral energy distribution is due to an increase in the energy density of electrons with small changes of both the magnetic field strength and the maximum Lorentz factor of electrons.

description: The heaviest chemical elements are naturally produced by the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) during neutron star mergers or supernovae. The r-process production of elements heavier than uranium (transuranic nuclei) is poorly understood and inaccessible to experiments, so must be extrapolated using nucleosynthesis models. We examine element abundances in a sample of stars that are enhanced in r-process elements. The abundances of elements Ru, Rh, Pd, and Ag (atomic numbers Z = 44 to 47, mass numbers A = 99 to 110) correlate with those of heavier elements (63 <= Z <= 78, A > 150). There is no correlation for neighboring elements (34 <= Z <= 42 and 48 <= Z <= 62). We interpret this as evidence that fission fragments of transuranic nuclei contribute to the abundances. Our results indicate that neutron-rich nuclei with mass numbers >260 are produced in r-process events.

Diagnosing the relative contributions of glacier retreat and climatic variability to streamflow trends in Illecillewaet catchment
Creators: name: Chai, Zijie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Glaciers make significant contributions to streamflow in western North America. However, glaciers throughout the region are losing mass and retreating, leading to concerns about summer streamflow, particularly during extended spells of warm, dry weather. An empirical analysis of climatic and streamflow trends in the Canadian portion of the Columbia River basin found a regional climate-driven decline in August streamflow, which was augmented in glacier-fed catchments by glacier retreat. The objective of this study was to use a hydrological model to quantify the relative roles of glacier retreat and climatic trends on streamflow in Illecillewaet catchment. We applied a modified version of HBV-EC within the Raven modelling framework to Illecillewaet River, located in the Columbia River headwaters, from 1977 to 2020. The model was calibrated using daily streamflow, snow water equivalent from snow pillows and geodetic glacier mass change. The model was run for 1977-2020 with four scenarios: (a) declining glacier cover based on historical imagery; (b) constant glacier extent with 1985 glacier cover; (c) constant glacier extent with 2016 glacier cover and (d) no glacier cover. Key conclusions are: (1) in the Illecillewaet catchment, where glacier cover represents about 5% of the total area, glacier ice melt can contribute between 3.5% and 41.1% to the August streamflow; (2) the analysis of glacier ice melt trends showed a small but statistically insignificant increase, attributed to the synchronous rising of the snowline along with the retreat of the glacier terminus; and (3) the decline in August streamflow appears to have been primarily driven by climate influences, particularly decreasing precipitation in August. Currently, the presence of glaciers helps offset this declining trend, but the glacier compensation effect is weakening as the glaciers retreat.

description: In the wake of the tsunami that hit the coastal communities of the Indian Ocean, images of women were splashed over the media’s reports of the catastrophe. But while sympathy for women has garnered a great deal of aid, “[b]eyond the camera lens in the follow-up policies. . .there is a trend for women to be rendered almost invisible.” Reports by women’s groups streaming in from all over the region reflect the same message-women were among the hardest hit by the tsunami, and women continue to be the most marginalized in relief efforts. While the relative lack of women-specific initiatives in the tsunami effort arguably could be attributed to the cultural norms of the region and the particular nature of the disaster there, a broader look at disasters worldwide shows that women’s needs and abilities are systemically ignored in rehabilitation and restoration efforts. Although this trend has been recognized by international organizations ranging from the United Nations (U.N.) General Assembly, the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA), the Committee for the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW Committee), the U.N. Office for International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR), the International Labor Organization (ILO), and the European Union (EU), there is yet to be a binding global initiative that explicitly calls for gender-mainstreaming in disaster prevention and reconstruction efforts. As a result, when the time comes for nations to respond quickly and efficiently to disasters, the lessons learned in gender- sensitivity are lost in the tumult once again.

The Modern Mulatto: A Comparative Analysis of the Social and Legal Positions of Mulattoes in the Antebellum South and the Intersex in Contemporary America
Creators: name: George, Marie-Amélie
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law

description: “This case involves the most basic of questions. When is a man a man, and when is a woman a woman? Every schoolchild, even of tender years, is confident he or she can tell the difference, especially if the person is wearing no clothes.”‘ With this opening statement, Judge Harberger, writing the majority opinion in Littleton v. Prange, quickly goes on to demonstrate that this most basic of questions can be more difficult to answer than appears at first glance. The case at issue, which required the court to determine the legal sex of a post-operative transsexual, questioned the basic notion that male and female are fixed, immutable, and oppositional categories. The very premise of the case is an assault on the foundational assumption that sex is a binary and biological phenomenon, which has been overwhelming accepted in contemporary thought. Importantly, these two concepts once underpinned race theory, but were subsequently rejected by both the academic and legal worlds. The same, while examined and critiqued at length in feminist and sexuality theory, has thus far failed to occur in the realm of legal doctrine and social consciousness. This Article seeks to add to the scholarship that illustrates the way in which sex can be conceptualized in much the same way as race, and may thus be divested of the presumptions of dichotomy and physiology, by comparing the regulation of race in the antebellum period and sex in the modem day. In doing so, it also aims to undermine objections that sex and race are not in fact parallel socio-physiological categories. Specifically, this Article examines the manner in which antebellum mulattoes, whose mixed race challenged the bases for racial hierarchy, were socially and legally made black so as to be folded within the binary on which slavery depended. It then follows this analysis with a consideration of the ways in which the intersex, who are persons with ambiguously sexed genitals, chromosomes, or phenotypes, are physically forced into one sex or the other so as not to cast doubt on the sexual binary necessary to sustain a patriarchal political and social system. Using this comparison as a framework from which to extend its deconstruction of social categories, this Article then turns to an examination of the role of the law in regulating sexual identity, noting how the law has the potential to be used to create sex in much the same way as it was employed to craft race during the antebellum period.

The Organization As A Gendered Entity: A Response to Professor Schultz’s the Sanitized Workplace
Creators: name: Lee, Rebecca K.

Year: 2006

description: In the two decades since the Supreme Court first recognized the legal harm of sex harassment’ in Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson, the trajectory of sex harassment law and policy continues to be controversial, even among gender scholars who seek to advance workplace equality but disagree about how to accomplish this objective. In this piece, I wish to contribute to the larger debate by offering a response to Professor Vicki Schultz’s provocative article, The Sanitized Workplace. Her project builds upon her previous works on sex harassment4 and the meaning of paid employment5 to put forth an innovative argument with significant implications in the areas of law, workplace culture, and organizational theory. While I support her endeavor in its larger intent, I write this response to examine her arguments and recommendations critically as well as constructively in an effort to engage in the ongoing task of advancing women’s aspirations in the work organization and the labor market. In The Sanitized Workplace, Schultz argues that the feminist movement to address sex harassment in the workplace echoes the ideological underpinnings of classical-management theory in that they both advocate for an emotion-free workplace, without harmful distraction, to maximize employee efficiency. She refers to a specific school of thought- the “scientific method” promoted by Frederick Winslow Taylor-to assert that the nascent organization was established as a rational space where laborers focused on production with little or no personal interaction. These early laborers were male, and Schultz points to the later entry of women into the workforce as introducing sexual elements into the workspace that would disrupt the rationality of organizational life, presenting a dilemma for managers who had sought to create an asexual work environment. As Schultz sees it, feminist reformers in our modem era ended up resuscitating the organizational practices of early bureaucratic leaders by similarly pushing for a desexualized workplace. In making this novel link between classical-management theory and the anti-sex harassment movement, Schultz is troubled by what she perceives to be unduly restrictive sex harassment policies currently in place in many work settings that reflect management’s early inclination to suppress laborers’ personal interactions of all kinds.10 According to her, sexual behavior should be allowed to openly flourish in the workplace, for she believes the freedom to express oneself in sexual terms enhances one’s social development at work and improves one’s productivity.’ She therefore wants to counteract the recent push for a return to the nonsexual workplace that supposedly predominated at the turn of the century.

description: Information and scientific data are part of the tourism management and development process. However, the management of a tourist destination depends on integrated tourism policies. This study explains the existing dichotomies in planning and managing tourist destinations, specifically in raising information and data for the generation of local, regional, and national tourism knowledge. The research was carried out based on a documental analysis of data published by the Brazilian government and the "COVID-19 Business Survey of Impacts on the Tourism Industry in Brazil" report conducted by the Brazilian Network of Tourism Observatories (RBOT) and the Piauí Tourism Observatory (OTPi). As a result, the study presents eight findings identified in government research in Brazil, and the tourist territory Polo Costa do Delta. The findings corresponded to the analysis categories "Lack of Specificity," "Transparency," "Update," "Lack of skilled labor," "Poor coordination," "Lack of Planning," and "Centralized decision-making," elucidated at the national and regional level, dedicated to the tourist region of the State of Piauí. The dichotomies existing in the process of planning and managing tourist destinations in Brazil about getting reliable information and data reinforce the importance of decentralized actions, of the national scope of RBOT, as well as the valorization of regional observatories that contribute to the cooperation, integration, and formation of a smart tourist destination.

description: More than 25% of species assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) are threatened with extinction. Understanding how environmental and biological processes have shaped genomic diversity may inform management practices. Using 68 extant avian species, we parsed the effects of habitat availability and life-history traits on genomic diversity over time to provide a baseline for conservation efforts. We used published whole-genome sequence data to estimate overall genomic diversity as indicated by historic long-term effective population sizes (Ne) and current genomic variability (H), then used environmental niche modelling to estimate Pleistocene habitat dynamics for each species. We found that Ne and H were positively correlated with habitat availability and related to key life-history traits (body mass and diet), suggesting the latter contribute to the overall genomic variation. We found that H decreased with increasing species extinction risk, suggesting that H may serve as a leading indicator of demographic trends related to formal IUCN conservation status in birds. Our analyses illustrate that genome-wide summary statistics estimated from sequence data reflect meaningful ecological attributes relevant to species conservation.

description: Natural Language Processing (NLP) plays a crucial role in developing intelligent systems for linguistic analysis, machine translation, and text generation. Uzbek language is a member of the Turkic language family, poses unique challenges in syntactic analysis due to its agglutinative nature and free word order. This proposal presents a rule-based approach to syntactic analysis for the Uzbek language, focusing on identifying grammatical roles such as subject (ega), predicate (kesim), object (to‘ldiruvchi), and adverbial modifier (hol).

description: This paper presents a novel methodology for improving the performance of machine learning based space traffic management tasks through the use of a pre-trained orbit model. Taking inspiration from BERT-like self-supervised language models in the field of natural language processing, we introduce ORBERT, and demonstrate the ability of such a model to leverage large quantities of readily available orbit data to learn meaningful representations that can be used to aid in downstream tasks. As a proof of concept of this approach we consider the task of all vs. all conjunction screening, phrased here as a machine learning time series classification task. We show that leveraging unlabelled orbit data leads to improved performance, and that the proposed approach can be particularly beneficial for tasks where the availability of labelled data is limited.

Unearthing the Customary Law Foundations of “Forced Marriages” During Sierra Leone’s Civil War: The Possible Impact of International Criminal Law on Customary Marriage and Women’s Rights in Post-Conflict Sierra Leone
Creators: name: Bélair, Karine

description: During the civil war that ravaged Sierra Leone from 1990 to 2001, thousands of women and girls were raped, abducted, and taken to Revolutionary United Front (RUF), West Side Boys, or Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) rebel camps. They were assigned to a man and, from that day forward, had to submit to him sexually and perform countless domestic tasks for him. This relationship between the rebels and their captives was commonly known as “forced marriage,” with the captive women testifying that they were assigned to a “husband” or “rebel husband,” and the rebel men referring to their captives as “wives” or “bush wives.” The type of marriage that was thought to have disappeared with the conclusion of inter-tribal wars and the abolition of slavery appeared to have returned to Sierra Leone from its past, invigorated and with new force. In their articles about the conflict, reporters used the terms “wife,” “husband,” and “marriage” in quotation marks. Quotation marks were also consistently used for those terms by investigators who reported on the “forced marriage” phenomenon occurring in different armed conflicts, clearly indicating their uneasiness, if not disbelief, in the appropriate use of familial labels to describe these relationships. In fact, these reporters stated on numerous occasions that the use of such matrimonial terminology to refer to the type of situation suffered by Sierra Leonean women was inappropriate: “[d]escribing this experience as a ‘forced’ marriage is a complete misrepresentation and distortion of a [girl’s] experience”; “[t]he arrangement was sometimes referred to as ‘forced marriages’ and the women held as ‘wives,’ but these terms obfuscate the total lack of consent by the women and the coercive conditions under which they were held.” This Article will explore the use (and misuse) of the word “marriage” to describe the relationship between rebels and their captured “wives,” as well as its potential impact on the customary law of marriage. Part I sets forth the argument that the term “marriage” is a criminal misnomer that masked what, under international criminal law, was clearly a situation of sexual slavery. Part II examines the customary law of marriage in Sierra Leone to help explain why the word “marriage” may have been considered an appropriate label to describe the rebel-captive relationship. It uncovers the similarities between “forced marriages” and marriages under customary law, most significantly the possibility that sexual slavery may occur within customary law marriages.

description: From the geological perspective, the Anthropocene is considered the current geological epoch, replacing the Holocene, positioning humanity as a force that has substantially interfered on life on the planet. Nevertheless, from the perspective of environmental history, critical researchers believe that the most appropriate is the idea of Capitalocene, since the current environmental crisis is the result of the capitalist model of production and consumption. In the field of tourism, the theme of climate change has been increasingly disseminated and addressed in national and international publications, however, the Anthropocene or the Capitalocene are still little explored, even though tourism activities can be seen as one of the mechanisms used for capital reproduction. In this way, the article mapped the state of the art on the Anthropocene or the Capitalocene and tourism. Research has shown that, after 2014, some scholars have looked into the relationship between tourism and the Anthropocene. However, research is still incipient, focusing on some specific topics. The idea of Capitalocene is even less addressed, with a few researchers taking ownership of research in the field of tourism. Thus, there is a gap between research and the teaching of tourism itself, especially when it comes to more critical research, placing tourism as a key activity in the context of the experienced environmental crisis.
Entropy, fidelity, and double orthogonality for resonance states in two-electron quantum dots

description: Resonance states of a two-electron quantum dot are studied using a variational expansion with both real basis-set functions and complex scaling methods. The two-electron entanglement (linear entropy) is calculated as a function of the electron repulsion at both sides of the critical value, where the ground (bound) state becomes a resonance (unbound) state. The linear entropy and fidelity and double orthogonality functions are compared as methods for the determination of the real part of the energy of a resonance. The complex linear entropy of a resonance state is introduced using complex scaling formalism.

description: In Brazil, after the Federal Constitution of 1988, with the redemocratization process, municipal councils, including those of tourism, promote social participation in decisions about public policies. Thus, this work aims to analyze the institutionalization of voice in the legal norms and in the development of the activities of municipal tourism councils of state capitals of Brazil and the Federal District. It was identified that interaction in municipal tourism councils is characterized by the predominant presence of business associations and the public sector. With regard to policy formulation, the councils show a certain passivity, leaving the public sector in charge. There is little debate about plan evaluation and ways to improve implemented actions. The councils' debates revolve, above all, around infrastructure and event promotion actions to improve the destination's economic competitiveness. It was also found a low average participation in the meetings of representatives of the Legislative Branch and other bodies of the Executive Branch, despite the legal provision. We conclude that the use of a more active voice can be achieved with the recognition, by the councilors, of the COMTURs' function as spaces to use their voices and to influence the directions of tourism policies. And Hirschman's (1973) approach on the choices between voice, exit and loyalty, although still little used among researchers in the field, allows us to advance in the understanding of tourism public policies.

Of Pearls and Fish: An Analysis of Jewish Legal Texts on Sexuality and Their Significance for Contemporary American Jewish Movements
Creators: name: Rosenthal, Rachel Sara
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2006

description: Analyzing halakhic texts provides insights into the past and present regulation of sexuality under Halakhah. This Article argues that halakhic conceptions of sexuality in Jewish texts, which promote the expression of heterosexual desire through marriage, form the basis of modem strategic readings of sacred texts that disenfranchise women in the process of divorce and reject homosexuality as a permissible sexual identity. Located in the family, where struggles between authority and the expression of sexuality commonly occur, these two issues illustrate how changes in American social norms may, or should, affect the interpretations and implementation of Halakhah by the rabbinical authorities of the modem Jewish movements. Because Orthodox, Reform, Conservative, and Reconstructionist Judaism each approach Jewish texts and traditions differently, however, their decisions are tempered by their varying theological assumptions about the divine authority of sacred works. Nonetheless, each movement’s approach to sexuality has practical effects on the lives of American Jews who follow Halakhah. Consequently, Part II analyzes halakhic texts from past and present rabbinical perspectives that exemplify the laws regulating sexuality, focusing on the rabbinic preference for heterosexual desire as properly expressed in marriage.

description: We study exact solutions of nonlinear electrodynamics coupled to three-dimensional gravity with torsion. We show that in any static and spherically symmetric configuration, at least one component of the electromagnetic field has to vanish. In the electric sector of the theory, we construct an exact solution, characterized by the azimuthal electric field. When the electromagnetic action is modified by a topological mass term, we find two types of the self-dual solutions.
