This paper has its focus on women and their lived experiences of migration. Special attention is devoted to whether the media may be used as a means of empowerment and its significance for social, cultural and religious purposes and participation. Also, implications for exercising citizenship practices, both in the homeland and in the “new” country are highlighted. The paper is based on an in-d...

Let R be a commutative noetherian local ring, and let X be a resolving subcategory of the category of finitely generated R-modules. In this paper, we study modules in X by relating them to modules in X which are free on the punctured spectrum of R. We do this by investigating nonfree loci and establishing an analogue of the notion of a level in a triangulated category which has been introduced ...

In the theory of coalgebras C over a ring R, the rational functor relates the category C∗M of modules over the algebra C∗ (with convolution product) with the category CM of comodules over C. This is based on the pairing of the algebra C∗ with the coalgebra C provided by the evaluation map ev : C∗ ⊗R C → R. The (rationality) condition under consideration ensures that CM becomes a coreflective fu...

We study various degrees of completeness for a Tychonoff space X. One of them plays a central role, namely X is called a Conway space if X is sequentially closed in its Stone–Čech compactification βX (a prominent example of Conway spaces is provided by Dieudonné complete spaces). The Conway spaces constitute a bireflective subcategory Conw of the category Tych of Tychonoff spaces. Replacing seq...

Visual Recognition is one of the fundamental challenges in AI, where the goal is to understand the semantics of visual data. Employing mid-level representation, in particular, shifted the paradigm in visual recognition. The mid-level image/video representation involves discovering and training a set of mid-level visual patterns (e.g., parts and attributes) and represent a given image/video util...

Quasi-nearness biframes provide an asymmetric setting for the study of nearness; in [1] a completion (called a quasi-completion) was constructed for such structures and in [2] completeness was characterized in terms of the convergence of regular Cauchy bifilters. In this talk, questions of functoriality for this quasi-completion are considered and one sees that having enough regular Cauchy bifi...

We show that the Atiyah-Hirzebruch K-theory of spaces admits a canonical generalization for stratified spaces. For this we study algebraic constructions on stratified vector bundles. In particular the tangent bundle of a stratified manifold is such a stratified vector bundle. 1 Families of vector spaces Let R be the field of real numbers and R = R ⊕ · · · ⊕ R be the standard n-dimensional R-vec...

We proved in a previous work that Cattani-Sassone’s higher dimensional transition systems can be interpreted as a small-orthogonality class of a topological locally finitely presentable category of weak higher dimensional transition systems. In this paper, we turn our attention to the full subcategory of weak higher dimensional transition systems which are unions of cubes. It is proved that the...
