"A watering of her desert": Depression and (Dis)consolation in Jenny Diski’s Monkey’s Uncle by Diane GAGNERET

“…To Diski’s protagonist, the loss of political ideals is more personal than the demise of her own child; the relentless despair experienced in depression becomes “a comforting trench into which she could curl safely” and no amount of therapy can match the obsessive reading of the book in which she immerses herself, and the readers. …”

A correlation between the categories 'interest' and 'good faith' in enjoyment of the secondary rights by E.M. Tuzhilova-Ordanskaya

“…It was concluded that the enjoyment of legal opportunities in a unilateral way, being aimed at the creation and transformation of legal relations as an ideal model of the actual objectively existing relationships and interactions between people, is driven by the socio-economic interest, and the secondary rights should be exercised responsibly in line with the “abstract” conscientious behavior.…”

¿El “desacuerdo” de Rancière Vs la “democracia deliberativa” de Habermas? La desobediencia civil en la teoría democrática de Habermas by Mikel Arteta

Priority differentiated multicast flow scheduling method in Ceph cloud storage network by Wenlong KE, Yong WANG, Miao YE, Junqi CHEN

“…In order to solve the problem that existing flow scheduling method is difficult to meet the different multicast scheduling requirements of multi-service flows in the Ceph cloud storage network,a service priority-based multicast flow scheduling method was tailored.First,the network status was obtained via software defined network (SDN) to support flow scheduling.Then,a multicast task was decomposed into multiple attribute decision problems for multiple unicast path selection,and a method of unicast path selection based on technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) was proposed.The unicast path selection method was used to find the optimal unicast path set for the service flow based on the flow’s network performance requirements.Then,the multicast distribution node was determined by the maximum common sub-path among the optimal unicast path sets for construct a multicast transmission path.The experiment results show that the proposed method can reduce the transmission delay of high priority flows while reduce the redundant traffic and better balance the traffic loads compared with the existing methods.…”

Racismo cordial - manifestação da discriminação racial à brasileira - o domínio público e o privado by Lwdmila Constant Pacheco

“…Porém, a definição polarizada entre brancos e negros numa sociedade que se define por centenas de cores diferentes torna-se inviável, ainda mais se somadas a questões históricas e culturais, como o mito da democracia racial e o ideal de branqueamento. Assim, no lugar do racismo declarado desenvolve-se no Brasil uma forma de discriminação contra os não brancos, que se caracteriza por uma polidez superficial que camufla atitudes e comportamentos discriminatórios, expressando-se ao nível das relações interpessoais através de atitudes informais. …”

Sexual Inversion, Smoke, and Mirrors: The (In)Visibility of John Addington Symonds’s Homosexuality in his Autobiographical Writings by William Fize

“…He attempted to repress then conceal his homosexuality to the world and to his own eyes, trying to conform to what his father and society were expecting from him, that is to say to be an exemplary and ‘productive’ member of Victorian society (and therefore a husband and a father), even if that meant having to sublimate his desires until he could no longer do so and ‘was finally born to himself’. He then developed an ideal conception of relationships between men, and found that satisfying his sexual needs was a way of living a life worth living that would no longer make him sick as he was trying to suppress this part of himself. …”

Perfect secrecy cryptosystem with nonuniform distribution of keys by Chuanjun TIAN

“…More strictly mathematical concepts of infinite perfect secrecy and random “one-time pad” cryptosystem in theory were presented,and the whole secure communication system was divided into two stages:design of a basic cryptosystem and one of its applications.How to design a basic cryptosystem by using a group of orthogonal Latin squares was first studied and an example to illustrate how to design nonlinear encryption transformations for a basic cryptosystem was given.Then,how to design the sequence of keys by using random method with nonuniform distribution was discussed,and it was strictly proven in theory that the infinite random “one-time pad” cryptosystem based on the designed basic cryptosystem was of perfect secrecy.Since the obtained result generalizes the existing one for random “one-time pad” cryptosystem to be perfect by using a basic cryptosystem with modulo addition,it may be used as a wider ideal simulated prototype to design stream cipher algorithms.Since the number of basic cryptosystems that can be designed is much more than one of the common basic cryptosystems with modulo addition,the obtained result is effective supplement and perfection to mainstream design method for the current stream cryptosystems.…”
