Postcolonial/Decolonial Critique and the Theory of International Relations by Aziz Elmuradov

“…The article is devoted to the discussion of the role of postcolonial/decolonial critique and its contribution to the theory of international relations. Intersecting with multiple disciplines and area studies, the postcolonial/decolonial critique offers a broad view not only on the cultural heritage of colonialism/imperialism as such, but also on the more complex and multifaceted challenges facing international relations – the coloniality of power and geopolitics of knowledge – and conditions of their emergence. …”

Signal Timing Optimization for Corridors with Multiple Highway-Rail Grade Crossings Using Genetic Algorithm by Yifeng Chen, Laurence R. Rilett

“…Safety and efficiency are two critical issues at highway-rail grade crossings (HRGCs) and their nearby intersections. Standard traffic signal optimization programs are not designed to work on roadway networks that contain multiple HRGCs, because their underlying assumption is that the roadway traffic is in a steady-state. …”

The Home and the World: Analysing Socio-Spatial Dynamics and Identity-Formation in Indian Picturebooks by Aditi Bhardwaj, Devjani Ray

“…An exploration of the intersection of identity with the sense of place in children’s literature begets various questions – of access and attachment, belonging or a lack thereof, curtailment within and transgression of spatial boundaries, and the ways in which these negotiations shape children’s sense of self-identity. …”

Design models of secret reconstruction towards rational users by Hai LIU, Youliang TIAN, Ying TANG, Jianbing Ni, Jianfeng MA

“…Rational Secret Reconstruction is an intersection between traditional secret reconstruction and game theory, which aims to restrict the selfish behaviors of rational users, making both of them obtain the secret in real applications.However, when directly adopting the existing rational secret reconstruction protocols, it is infeasible to realize the fair secret reconstruction.More seriously, an extreme situation may rise, which is some users regard a fake secret as the real one.The crucial reason is that, due to lack of design models, the protocol designers cannot completely consider their selfish behaviors when rational users participate in secret reconstruction.To solve that problem, through the formalizations of rational users and rational secret reconstruction game, the influences of rational users’ action order and their chosen strategies about the fair secret reconstruction were analyzed, and then, three design models for the different scenarios, including purely user rational scenario, reputation-based scenario and trusted user-based scenario, were proposed respectively.Theoretical analysis demonstrates that, the proposed models can help the designers restrict rational users’ selfishness effectively, thereby guiding the designers to devise the fair rational secret reconstruction protocols.Additionally, under the guidance of the proposed models, a fair rational secret reconstruction protocol was devised, which indicated that the proposed models were usable.…”

Instability Model of a Coal Wall with Large Mining Height under Excavation Unloading Conditions by Lei Li, Feng zhang

“…The wedge stability is inversely related to roof pressure P0, unloading force T, and intersection angle φ of structural planes. Elevating the wall-supporting force Ph, the initial supporting force of supports on the working face and the cohesion C of coal body can effectively control the occurrence of coal wall caving accidents and contribute to the safe mining of working faces with a large mining height.…”

Understanding Gender Expertise in the Post-Truth Era: Media Representations of Gender-Based Analysis Plus in Canada by Stephanie Paterson, Francesca Scala

“…Using post-structural policy analysis to explore the contours of media scrutiny and the resulting debate about gender-based analysis plus (GBA+), Canada’s approach to gender mainstreaming, we reveal that it was ultimately a debate about the role of gender/intersectional expertise within government. We demonstrate that GBA+, and the gender expertise informing it, was often represented in mainstream media as either a “political intervention” or as a “technical tool”, both of which reinforce traditional representations of policy expertise, including political neutrality and professional competence, which, in the past, have been used to justify the exclusion of “other” forms of knowledge. …”
