This article pursues two tasks. The first is to clarify the value and productivity of Williams’s Keywords: a vocabulary culture society (first edition 1976, second expanded 1983a) for project Cultural Studies. clarification helped, I argue, by reading it alongside Vološinov’s Marxism philosophy language (published in Russian 1929, translated into English 1973). related task speculative developm...

no overwhelming worry about keeping to the Church's present teaching (mainly because my wife's inside works pretty well according to plan), but who on philosophical and theological grounds finds that teaching verging on the nonsensical. This position is certainly getting commoner. The Experience of Marriage is a report written by thirteen anonymous Catholic American couples on the state of thei...

I question whether it is completely accurate to think of the philosophical meaning of consciousness as being switched-on or switched-off.

In which case, consciousness is more like a switched-on rheostat, rather than a simple on–off switch. Christian de Quincey (2006) gives a list of what...

Abstract In the study of process radicalization, precedence has been given to answering ‘how’ questions over exact qualification concept radicalization itself. What does it mean be radicalized? are cognitive entailments such state? features that make recognizable? We rely on a game theoretic model characterize essence what is radicalized. Our radicalized agent’s rational behavior elucidates his...

We study the development of conjunctive keyword searchable scheme which enables one to search encrypted documents by using more than one keyword. The notion of conjunctive keyword searching was presented by Golle et al. in 2004. However, their security model was constructed in a symmetric-key setting which is not applicable for the overall applications in the reality. So Park et al. extended Go...

In this paper we present several proofs on the extension of M. Riesz fractional integration and di¤erentiation to the contexts of spaces of homogeneous type and measure metric spaces with non-doubling measures. 1. Introduction, some de…nitions, and a basic lemma Professor M. Ash asked me to write a survey article on some of the results that Stephen Vági and I obtained in the nineties on fractio...

There is an apparent anomaly in the notion that connectionism, which is fundamentally a new technology, has considerable philosophical significance. Nonetheless, connectionism has been widely viewed as having implications for symbol grounding, notions of structured representation and compositionality, as well as the issue of nativism. In this paper, we consider each of these issues in detail, a...
