Is the public backlash against human rights rulings from European courts driven by substantive concerns over case outcomes, procedural sovereignty, or combinations thereof? We conducted preregistered survey experiments in Denmark, France, Poland, Spain, and United Kingdom using three vignettes: a foreigner who faces extradition, person fighting fine for burning Qurans, home owner contesting evi...

The article covers the issues concerning levels and criteria of preparatory department students' understanding scientific text. Teaching language presupposes work with texts at a proficiency level A1. When teaching how to text, one should consider its pragmatic, contents cognitive discourse functions. Understanding is multi-level psychological category, which determines foreign way reading Each...

I briefly review the source of the so-called intrinsic ambiguity and show how the combination of “golden” and “silver” channel at the Neutrino Factory can solve the problem, in the absence of other sources of degeneracies. I then relaxed the hypothesis θ23 = 45◦ and show how the different dependence of the two channels on θ23 can help in solving the intrinsic and θ23-octant ambiguity at the sam...

The category of finite cardinals (or, equivalently, of finite sets) is the symmetric analogue of the category of finite ordinals, and the ground category of a relevant category of presheaves, the augmented symmetric simplicial sets. We prove here that this ground category has characterisations similar to the classical ones for the category of finite ordinals, by the existence of a universal sym...

An algebraic classification of second order symmetric tensors in 5-dimensional Kaluza-Klein-type Lorentzian spaces is presented by using Jordan matrices. We show that the possible Segre types are [1, 1111], [2111], [311], [z z̄ 111], and the degeneracies thereof. A set of canonical forms for each Segre type is found. The possible continuous groups of symmetry for each canonical form are also stu...
