Violence as an Essentially Contested Concept
Scientific understanding of human violence is one of the most urgent tasks of our time. Given this sense of urgency, it is shocking how little we seem to know about it (Turpin & Kurz, 1997: 1–2). In fact, even among scholars there is not even the beginning of an agreement concerning a definition of what exactly ‘violence’ is (Stanko, 2003: 3). One of the most common ways of defining violence is...

متن کاملLocal Search for String Problems: Brute Force Is Essentially Optimal
We address the problem of whether the brute-force procedure for the local improvement step in a local search algorithm can substantially be improved when applied to classical NP-hard string problems. We examine four of the more prominent problems in this domain: Closest String, Longest Common Subsequence, Shortest Common Supersequence, and Shortest Common Superstring. Herein, we consider arguab...
متن کاملEssentially Retractable Modules
We call a module essentially retractable if HomR for all essential submodules N of M. For a right FBN ring R, it is shown that: (i) A non-zero module is retractable (in the sense that HomR for all non-zero ) if and only if certain factor modules of M are essentially retractable nonsingular modules over R modulo their annihilators. (ii) A non-zero module is essentially retractable if and on...
