This article deals with violences of culture and cultures of violence. After reviewing the specificity of anthropological views of violence, we propose a processual reconceptualisation of this, reflect on the forms and possible consequences of ethnographic research and representation in this field, and end by outlining the future of an anthropology of violence that can also be an anthropology o...

The invariant subspace problem relative to a von Neumann algebra M ⊆ B(H) asks whether every operator T ∈ M has a proper, nontrivial invariant subspace H0 ⊆ H such that the orthogonal projection p onto H0 is an element of M; equivalently, it asks whether there is a projection p ∈ M, p / ∈ {0, 1}, such that Tp = pTp. Even when M is a II1–factor, this invariant subspace problem remains open. In t...

Urgency of application and development of cognitive graphic tools for usage in intelligent systems of data analysis, decision making and its justifications is given. Cognitive graphic tool “2-simplex prism" and examples of its usage are presented. Specificity of program realization of cognitive graphics tools invariant to problem areas is described. Most significant results are given and discus...

The recent progress made in the development of electrochemical methods for microRNA (miRNA) detection is presented. This progress is conceived to be largely due to the invention of novel assay methodologies and the use of various bioreagents and nanostructures. These enable a rigorous control over the sensing interface, provide enormous signal amplifications and single-base mismatch specificity...
