On stability estimations without any conditions of symmetry by Romanas Januškevičius, Olga Januškevičienė

“…Rao have proved that if distributions of sample mean ‾X = ‾X(n) = (X1 + ⋯ + Xn)/n and monomial X are coincident at least at two points n = j1 and n = j2 such that log j1/ log j2 is irrational, then X follows a Cauchy law. Assuming that condition of coincidence of \bar X(n) and X are fulfilled at least for two n values, but only approximately, with some error ε in metric λ, we prove (without any conditions of symmetry) that, in certain sense, characteristic function of X is close to the characteristic function of the Cauchy distribution. …”

Fin de régime et migrations en Libye.Les enseignements juridiques d’un pays en feu by Delphine Perrin

Weakened by its irrational migration policies, the EU has yielded to the Libyan “pirate diplomacy” and gradually given up all principles and legal safeguards to engage in ad hoc cooperation, mainly delegated to Italy, to contain the migration to the south of the Mediterranean.…”

The cartoons and photographs of the daily British press in the three months after the attacks show that, often, beyond the precise identification of a culprit, the Other (the foreigner marked by a difference, the Muslim and his religious and cultural practices) ends up representing the enemy. …”
