A dynamical system approach to the holographic dark energy in a modified theory of gravity

In this paper, we carry a dynamical system analysis of a holographic dark energy model of a modified theory of gravity based on braneworld scenario. The infra-red cutoff of the holographic dark energy is considered to be the Hubble scale in a first approach and the Ricci scalar curvature scale in a second approach. We present a detailed analysis of the critical points, their stability and the late-time cosmological viability of the solutions in the phase space. For both holographic dark energy models, we investigate the case of a noninteracting braneworld and extend our analysis to the interacting case between dark energy and cold dark matter by considering some specific forms of interaction.

ИНТЕГРАЛЬНОЕ ОБЩЕСТВО, ИНТЕГРАЛЬНАЯ ЭКОНОМИКА, ИНТЕГРАЛЬНЫЙ УЧЕНЫЙ (ПАМЯТИ Г.Н. ЦАГОЛОВА)

In the article, the concepts of integral society and integral economy are considered in the context of the general methodology of integralism, developed by Pitirim Sorokin and improved by G.N. Tsagolov. Analysis of the natural location's peculiarities and the historical trajectory of countries' socio-economic development allows them to be divided into four groups: object, project, process, and environmental. This approach reveals the predisposition of countries to market / planned methods of coordination of in-country agents. The article shows that the most relevant for Russia is the so-called mixed economy in which capitalism elements are organically intertwined with elements of socialism. Studying the works of G.N. Tsagolov makes it possible to shed light on specific forms of interaction between elements of the capitalist and socialist modes in Russia's mixed economy.

LA CONFIGURACIÓN DE LA SUBJETIVIDAD POLÍTICA EN JÓVENES ESCOLARES Y SU RELACIÓN CON LA RED SOCIAL FACEBOOK

This study developed a comprehensive proposal about political subjectivity configuration from the narratives that high-school students conducted around the social network Facebook. For this, a methodology with hermeneutical approach was used for recognizing subjectivity processes associated with the specific forms of interaction in this virtual social network, identifying the political sense involved in the narratives of young and analyzing the regulatory methods developed in relation to the responsible use of ICT. The data analysis was performed using the conceptual categories proposed by Ruiz and Prada (2012), which allowed the identification of world perspectives and opinions in young students, characterized by the appropriation of critical positions and defined ethic-political meanings with which they question reality.

Sustainability transitions and final consumption: practices and socio-technical systems

This article examines the significance of final consumption processes for understandings of prospective transitions towards more sustainable societies. It argues that most existing conceptualisations either place too much emphasis on technology or on ‘consumer behaviour’, ignoring the deeply intertwined relationships between the two. After briefly reviewing recent contributions to the technology-oriented multi-level perspective (MLP) and to social scientific explanations of ‘behavioural change’, we outline a practice-based approach to understanding final consumption and sustainability. Practice-based approaches reveal processes of reproduction (stasis) and change in forms of consumption, which we argue present conceptual insights into sustainability transitions. By examining the tensions and crossovers between the MLP and practice-based approaches to consumption, three specific forms of interaction are identified for further conceptual and empirical exploration: the social relations of consumption; co-dependent changes in production and consumption; and, technologies, practices and consumption.

Going on with optimised feet: Evidence for the interaction between segmental and metrical structure in phonological encoding from a case of primary progressive aphasia

Background: Our knowledge about the interaction between segmental and metrical levels of representation in word production is still largely underspecified. In particular, there is only sparse evidence of how syllables are hierarchically organised into higher‐level prosodic structures such as prosodic feet and words. Furthermore, the question whether stress assignment in German is sensitive to syllable weight is unresolved so far. While quantity‐insensitive accounts state that stress is predominantly assigned to a default position (i.e., to the penultimate syllable) and other stress patterns are exceptional, quantity‐sensitive accounts assume that stress assignment is determined by the weight of the final two syllables. The present investigation was supported by the German Science Foundation (project WI 853/7‐1) and by the START programme of the faculty of Medicine at the RWTH Aachen University (AZ 37/07). We would like to thank patient HT for participating in our studies, Anna‐Lisa Schelwies for her assistance in transcribing some of the data, and Ingrid Aichert for kindly providing us with syllable frequency counts. Aims: Impaired lexical retrieval may lead to regularisations of stress assignment. Such an error pattern will be examined to gain insights into the interrelation between different tiers of prosodic representations (e.g., syllable, foot, prosodic word). Methods & Procedures: A reading and a repetition task were conducted with German‐speaking patient HT, suffering from primary progressive aphasia, which especially affected her retrieval of lexical information. The material consisted of polysyllabic words with varying stress patterns and syllable structures. Outcomes & Results: In reading, HT produced hardly any segmental errors, but a substantial amount of stress errors. Importantly, the patient not only over‐generalised the “default” penultimate stress as would have been predicted by quantity‐insensitive approaches. Instead, she over‐applied different stress patterns depending on the weight of the last two syllables. In repetition, HT's output can be characterised as phonological jargon. Crucially, however, she hardly produced any stress errors. Rather, thorough analyses revealed that segmental deviations in her output led to optimised prosodic structures. For instance, insertions of rhyme segments could be observed mainly in strong syllables, i.e., syllables bearing main or secondary stress, whereas deletions occurred predominantly in weak, unstressed syllables. Conclusions: The present data provide evidence for specific forms of interaction between segmental and metrical knowledge: On the one hand, segmental information influenced the patient's stress assignment errors in reading. On the other hand, prosodic information modified segmental errors even in severe jargon observed in repetition. With respect to the prosodic system of German, the observed error patterns show that the structure of the final syllable determines how syllables of a word are parsed into prosodic feet and, accordingly, which syllable has to be prominent. Thus, our results support quantity‐sensitive approaches of stress assignment.

Epistatic interactions alter dynamics of multilocus gene-for-gene coevolution.

Fitness costs associated with resistance or virulence genes are thought to play a key role in determining the dynamics of gene-for-gene (GFG) host-parasite coevolution. However, the nature of interactions between fitness effects of multiple resistance or virulence genes (epistasis) has received less attention. To examine effects of the functional form of epistasis on the dynamics of GFG host-parasite coevolution we modified a classic multilocus GFG model framework. We show that the type of epistasis between virulence genes largely determines coevolutionary dynamics, and that coevolutionary fluctuations are more likely with acceleratingly costly (negative) than with linear or deceleratingly costly (positive) epistasis. Our results demonstrate that the specific forms of interaction between multiple resistance or virulence genes are a crucial determinant of host-parasite coevolutionary dynamics.

Public institutions, non-governmental organisations and a number of associations are busy spreading scientific knowledge not only via traditional media but also through specific forms of interaction with a varied public. This report aims to provide a historical overview of the diffusion of science communication in India, illustrating its current development and its future prospects.

The Gender and Environment Debate: Lessons from India

This chapter argues that women, especially those in poor, rural households in India are victims of environmental degradation in quite gender-specific ways. It outlines the ecofeminist debate in the United States and one prominent Indian variant of it, and suggests an alternative conceptualization. The chapter traces the nature and causes of environmental degradation in rural India, its class and gender implications, and the responses to it by the state and grass-roots groups. It examines for an alternative transformative approach to development and suggests that women’s and men’s relationship with nature needs to be understood as rooted in their material reality, in their specific forms of interaction with the environment. Ecofeminism embodies within it several different strands of discourse, most of which have yet to be spelled out fully, and which reflect, among other things, different positions within the Western feminist movement. A growing privatization of community resources in individual hands has paralleled the process of statization.

Role of the interphase layer in the formation of the viscoelastic properties of high-strength organic reinforced plastic

1. The viscoelastic properties of high-strength organic plastic are determined by the four levels of the structural organization determined by the two components (fibers and binder) and the arising interphase layers. To them correspond the α1, α1′, α2′, and α2 processes of relaxation. 2. The specific forms of interaction between the components of organic plastic determine the values of Gh.el and of α1, α1′, α2′ and α2 which characterize the adhesive strength and the plasticizing effect of the binder on the reinforcing organic fibers.

Raman spectra of methanol solutions—I: Saturated solutions of some electrolytes

Photoelectric Raman spectra have been recorded over the range 40–4000 cm −1 for a series of metal perchlorates, nitrates, sulfates, chlorides and fluorides in saturated solutions in methanol. Many changes, both in frequencies and in intensities, of the methanol solvent spectrum are noted, and these are compared with the corresponding changes induced by addition of water to methanol. The changes are interpreted in terms of solute interference with the extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions between methanol molecules, and specific forms of interaction between oxyanions and methanol. Spectroscopic evidence for complex formation in these solutions also is discussed.
