This short contribution explores alternative conceptions of classical sociology and continuities discontinuities in its history, with particular attention to the German Austrian context sociological diaspora resulting from European fascism.

Absorbing aerosols can strongly absorb solar radiation and have a profound impact on the global and regional climate. Black carbon (BC), organic carbon (OC) and dust are three major types of absorbing aerosols. In order to deepen the overall understanding of absorbing aerosols over East Asia and provide a basis for further investigation of its role in enhanced warming in drylands, the spatial-t...

Lisoněk recently reformulated the characterization of Charpin and Gong of a large class of hyper-bent functions in terms of cardinalities of hyperelliptic curves following previous ideas of Lachaud and Wolfmann, and Katz and Livné. In this paper, we present a generic approach of such ideas and show that it applies naturally to a distinct family of functions proposed by Mesnager. Doing so, a pol...

When nonmetastatic dimethylbenzanthracene-induced rat mammary cancer cells (KM( I ) were transfected with a control plasmili containing the neomycin resistance gene (i.e.. Neo/Only), none of the five clonal Neo/Only transfectants isolated and characterized was metastatic, only one of five had a single structural chromosomal abnormality, and only one of five had a single numerical chromosomal ch...

Tetrahymena thermophila has been transformed to paromomycin-resistant phenotypes by microinjection of an aminoglycoside 3'-phosphotransferase (neo) gene under the control of the T. thermophila histone H4-I promoter. This chimeric neo gene, by itself or on a vector containing a rRNA-encoding DNA (rDNA) origin of replication, transforms T. thermophila. In cells transformed with the rDNA origin ve...

Abstract Fascism invites its adherents to be part of something greater than themselves, invoking their longing for honor and glory, passion heroism. An important avenue articulating affective dimension is cultural production. This article investigates the role violence in contemporary Swedish-language fascist fiction. The protagonist typically a young white man or woman who wakes up realities o...

The concept of a non-extreme-outcome-additive capacity (neo-additive capacity ) is introduced. Neo-additive capacities model optimistic and pessimistic attitudes towards uncertainty as observed in many experimental studies. Moreover, neo-additive capacities can be applied easily in economic problems, as we demonstrate by examples. This paper provides an axiomatisation of Choquet expected utilit...

In the realm of philosophy and other theoretical discourses, there are many different paths to the turn from the modern to the postmodern, representing a complex genealogy of diverse and often divergent trails through different disciplines and cultural terrains. One pathway moves through an irrationalist tradition from romanticism to existentialism to French postmodernism via the figures of Nie...

Several proponents of the interventionist theory of causation have recently argued for a neo-Russellian account of causation. The paper discusses two strategies for interventionists to be neo-Russellians. Firstly, I argue that the open systems argument – the main argument for a neo-Russellian account advocated by interventionists – fails. Secondly, I explore and discuss an alternative for inter...

Sex chromosomes turn over rapidly in some taxonomic groups, where closely related species have different sex chromosomes. Although there are many examples of sex chromosome turnover, we know little about the functional roles of sex chromosome turnover in phenotypic diversification and genomic evolution. The sympatric pair of Japanese threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) provides an e...
