Alice’s Non-Anthropocentric Ethics: Lewis Carroll as a Defender of Animal Rights by Anna Kérchy

“…The vanishing and reappearing Cheshire Cat represents language that is ideologically manipulative and poetically subversive and distinguishes the speaking human subject from animals (Lecercle 1994); the Caucus Race led by the Dodo Bird is an absurd rehearsal of the Darwinian evolutionary theory’s competitive struggle for survival (Lovell-Smith 2007), while the dormouse in the teapot evokes how the ownership of certain animals could indicate class belonging (Ritvo 1987). These animals embody a curious otherness radically incompatible with the picara’s human self gradually destabilized by Alice’s numerous shape-shiftings which elicit her misidentification as a flower, a serpent, and a mythical beast. …”

La Costituzione siciliana del 1812 by Angelo Grimaldi

“…The sicilian constitutional experience of 1812 wasn’t a breaking off from the constitution, it remained a dualistic system in which the King had legitimate dynasty and most of the members of the Parliament belonged to the Sicilian Nobility. The Par - liament didn’t represent the nation because the two main governing bodies were the Sovereign and the aristocrats: the “nation”, being an abstract juridical bodies couldn’t govern directly but only through delegation; consequently the Parliament could repre - sent only a part of the Sicilian Society, that is to say only that fraction that was repre - sented in the Parliament. …”

A Methodology for Clustering Items with Seasonal and Non-seasonal Demand Patterns for Inventory Management by Burak Kandemir

“…In this paper, we propose two algorithms, one based on statistical analysis and the other an unsupervised machine learning algorithm using K-means clustering, both of which differ-entiate seasonal and non-seasonal products where an item’s variation is evaluated with respect to seasonality of the product group it belongs to. We then calculate the efficiency of two proposed approaches by standard deviation within each cluster and absolute difference of percentage of volume and item numbers. …”

Estimation du sexe fœtal à partir de l’ilium by Pascal Adalian, Sandrine Boutin-Forzano, Marie-Dominique Piercecchi-Marti, Yann Ardagna, Michel Signoli, Ferenc Kosa, Georges Leonetti, Olivier Dutour

“…During this research, we tested the different methods proposed for fetal iliac bones and adapted some others used particularly in the case of adults.For this reason, we set up and validated a protocol of taking photographs, as well as a measurement technique developed for numeric pictures with the help of a software program, Adobe Photoshop 6‚.During this study, we selected certain parameters, principally the ones taken on the great sciatic notch, which showed a strong correlation with sex, and we established a logistic regression for estimating the probability of belonging to one sex or the other.The weak percentage of sexual differentiation obtained by this formula led us to take into account age: we organised our sample in different age groups and established a formula that permits correct sex determination in more than 85% of cases (in our sample) for fetuses that are less than 24 gestational weeks old.…”
