Cannibalism as a topic of interest, both general and anthropological, has seen a revival of concern in the last seven years or so. Primarily responsible for this revival is the controversial stance taken by William Arens in his book, The ManEating Myth: Anthropology and Anthropophagy (1979). Following the publication of this work has been a deluge of articles and books, popular and specialized,...

This study tested whether the gender intensification hypothesis applies to relations between multiple domain-specific self-concept facets and selfesteem. This hypothesis predicts gender-stereotypic differences in these relations and assumes they intensify with age. Furthermore, knowledge about gender-related or age-related differences in self-concept–self-esteem relations might provide valuable...

Abstract We shall consider measure algebras associated to locally compact groups, bounded operators between them and properties of the underlying measures. take into account second dual provided with Arens products together tools Gélfand theory.

Let G be a locally compact group, let L1(G) be its group algebra, let M(G) be its usual measure algebra, let L1(G)∗∗ be the second dual of L1(G) with an Arens product, and let LUC(G)∗ be the conjugate of the space LUC(G) of bounded, left uniformly continuous, complex-valued functions on G with an Arens-type product. We find all the finite-dimensional left ideals of these algebras. We deduce tha...
