Abstract This paper examines the relationship between strategies of cosmopolitan education intended to motivate citizens affluent countries care about distant others facing injustice, and injustices within borders these countries. I argue that promoting justice motivating act address global injustices, are potentially complementary rather than competing projects. make two claims. (i) Injustices...

Recently, the putative finding of ancient human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) long terminal repeat (LTR) DNA sequences in association with a 1500-year-old Chilean mummy has stirred vigorous debate. The debate is based partly on the inherent uncertainties associated with phylogenetic reconstruction when only short sequences of closely related genotypes are available. However, a full anal...

Sipunculan taxonomy relies on a limited set of external morphological and internal anatomical characters. In addition, this marine group is characterized by an unusual large number of putatively cosmopolitan species. However, this ‘cosmopolitan’ status could be an artifact of their conserved morphology and the small number of unambiguous taxonomic characters available for delimiting species. Sp...

The nature and extent of microbial biodiversity remain controversial with persistent debates over patterns of distributions (i.e. cosmopolitanism versus endemism) and the processes that structure these patterns (neutrality versus selection). We used culture-independent approaches to address these issues focusing on two groups of ciliates, the Oligotrichia (Spirotrichea) and Choreotrichia (Spiro...

This paper argues that glossing is an essential stage in the borrowing of writing systems. I use the term “glossing” in a somewhat extended sense to refer to a process where a text in one language is prepared (annotated, marked) to be read in another. I argue that this process of “vernacular reading” – reading a text written in the script, orthography, lexicon and grammar of a more prestigious ...

Abstract We extend to the β-divergence (Itakura-Saito) case β = 0, the comparative bi-stochaticization analyses–previously conducted (arXiv:1208.3428) for the (Kullback-Leibler) β = 1 and (squaredEuclidean) β = 2 cases–of the 3,107-county 1995-2000 U. S. migration network. A heuristic, ”greedy” algorithm–using the β = 1 results as an initial configuration–is devised. While the largest 25,329 en...
