The social reproduction of the past is characterized through an onset of parallel themes that run with depictions of the experience of people. Marxist inspired critical research illustrates the perpetuation of the internalization and normalization of ideolog...

In this study an analytical method is developed to obtain the response of electro-magneto-thermo-elastic stress and perturbation of a magnetic field vector for a thick-walled spherical functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM). The hollow sphere, which is placed in a uniform magnetic field, is subjected to a temperature gradient, inner and outer pressures and a constant electric potenti...

X iv :d gga /9 40 70 07 v1 1 9 Ju l 1 99 4 Abstract We prove the Bloch conjecture : c2(E) ∈ H D(X,Z(2)) is torsion for holomorphic rank two vector bundles E with an integrable connection over a complex projective variety X . We prove also the rationality of the Chern-Simons invariant of compact arithmetic hyperbolic three-manifolds. We give a sharp higher-dimensional Milnor inequality for the v...

The optimists foresee an increase in online participation and democratization due to social media’s personal and interactive nature. Cyber-pessimists, on the other hand, explain how social media can lead to selective exposure and can be used as a disguise for those in power to disseminate biased information....
