The linguistic expression of power in political addresses of Polish prime ministers from 1945 to 2019 (quantitative analysis) by Citlak Amadeusz, Kozioł Pamela

“…The current study presents a quantitative analysis of the political addresses of 29 Polish prime ministers in the light of the theory of the desire for power. The timeframe covers 74 years, between 1945 and 2019, including two important periods in Polish history: Soviet domination (1945-1989) and the time since the fall of communism and the return of an independent Poland (1989-2019). …”

Incorporating Contagion in Portfolio Credit Risk Models Using Network Theory by Ioannis Anagnostou, Sumit Sourabh, Drona Kandhai

“…Most of these models perceive default correlation as fully captured by the dependence on a set of common underlying risk factors. In light of empirical evidence, the ability of such a conditional independence framework to accommodate for the occasional default clustering has been questioned repeatedly. …”

Small neutrino masses from a decoupled singlet scalar field by Jongkuk Kim, Seong-Sik Kim, Hyun Min Lee, Rojalin Padhan

“…After the Z4 symmetry is broken to Z2 by the VEV of the spurion, much below the mass scale of the dark singlet scalar, a small lepton number violating coupling for the inert doublet is generated at tree level, so small neutrino masses are obtained at one-loops for relatively light new fields. We discuss the important roles of the Z4 symmetry for neutrino masses, dark matter physics and thermal leptogenesis.…”

The Explosive Growth of U.S. Military Power on Guam Confronts People Power: Experience of an island people under Spanish, Japanese and American colonial rule by LisaLinda S. Natividad, Victoria-Lola Leon Guerrero

“…While the island and her people remained in relative isolation from the Western world for over 3,500 years from the earliest indications of settlement, its strategic location as a crossroad between East and West has resulted in colonization by successive maritime powers over the last six centuries.This article examines the plans for base expansion which threaten to swamp the local population, and the resistance to it, in light of Guahan's five hundred year colonial experience under Spain, Japan and the United States.…”
