An Investigation of World-System Theory and Globalization in the Rama Novels by Arthur C. Clarke and Gentry Lee

Noam Chomsky argues that only a meager percentage of the world, consisting of mainly large corporations and developed nations, prosper from globalization. As stated in Immanuel Wallerstein’s World-System Theory, the modern system of the world, which is constructed according to the economic status of nations, can be divided into three levels: the core, the semi-periphery, and the periphery. Whil...

One-Lee weight and two-Lee weight $\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_2[u]$-additive codes

In this paper, we study one-Lee weight and two-Lee weight codes over Z2Z2[u], where u = 0. Some properties of one-Lee weight Z2Z2[u]-additive codes are given, and a complete classification of one-Lee weight Z2Z2[u]-additive formally self-dual codes is obtained. The structure of two-Lee weight projective Z2Z2[u] codes are determined. Some optimal binary linear codes are obtained directly from on...

The Ministry and Its Ministers

the central Health Department of this country to the position it ought to occupy if he were allowed to hold office for a mere matter of three, or perhaps six, months. In face of these rapid changes not only is continuity of policy impossible, but vigour and initiative are out of the question. The fleeting incumbent of the office is fortunate if he is able to acquire a preliminary general acquai...
