Hegemony is a term both elusive and recurrent. It provides a theory of the social for a world in which all universalizing truth narratives have lost their fantasmatic hold over our lives and, in their withdrawal, we are forced to confront the fictions that they in fact always represented. In a certain sense, hegemony theory is the fiction of social fiction; a fiction designed to account for the...

Asymmetric warfare is frequently described as a conflict where ‘weaker’ parties aim to offset their relatively inadequate resources by using particular strategies and tactics to their advantage. This research-in-progress paper develops a concept model of asymmetric warfare that represents the leverage available to the ‘weaker’ party over the ‘stronger’ party simply because the former is attacki...

the forced convection heat transfer of turbulent al2o3-water nanofluid flow inside the grooved tubeswith the different aspect ratio of the rectangular grooves is numerically investigated. the governingequations have been solved using finite volume method (fvm) coupled with simple algorithm. it isassumed the heat flux is constant on the grooved walls. the single-phase approach is applied for the...

nasal mucosa has an extraordinary nerve supply with unique geometry that encompasses complex physiology. among these, side-specific predilections to the respiratory and autonomic centers are the interesting issues that have been raised about the consequences of the nasal irritations. the aim of the study was an evaluation of how intranasal stimulation influences lung mechanics and determines wh...
