Beyond the veneer of reconciliation: human rights and democracy in Rwanda
No full textIn this Opinion piece, PhD candidate Jennifer Melvin argues that Rwanda’s national unity and reconciliation
programme promotes two differing but inter-related political images at the domestic and international levels. She
analyses how these images are constructed and disseminated to the national population and international community
of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), donors and foreign investors. Jennifer argues that the current Rwandan
Patriotic Front (RPF) government successfully manipulates national reconciliation to bolster political support,
silence opposition and promote development that is primarily uneven. She urges the Commonwealth to look beyond
the appearance of unity, and reconciliation to consider the detrimental consequences of government programming
upon democracy and human rights in Rwanda

Melvin Ember and HRAF, Anthropology’s Archive
No full text The author discusses Melvin Ember’s impact as the long-time president of the Human Relations Area Files, which he refers to as “Anthropology’s Archive.” He discusses the digitization of the files, the development of new archives and encyclopedias, and some of the way the files are currently being used. He suggests much of the success of the Human Relations Area Files over the last quarter century can be attributed directly to Melvin Ember and his leadership. </jats:p
Dulac's Theorem Revisited
No full textDulac's theorem states that the number of limit cycles of any given polynomial vector field on the plane is finite. After compactifying the phase plane to a sphere and some well known arguments one only has to prove that limit cycles cannot accumulate onto elementary graphics which we will call polycycles. Dulac in his proof unfortunately made an unproved statement by inferring the triviality of the return map of a polycycle from the triviality of its asymptotic expansion. Ilyashenko in (Russ Math Surv 40(6):1-49, 1985. https://doi.org/10.1070/rm1985v040n06abeh003701) produced a clever counter example, clearly showing why Dulac's arguments failed and additionally he showed that Dulac's theorem is valid for hyperbolic polycycles, i.e. polycycles with only hyperbolic equilibria. It is a corner stone that has been completely understood. Afterwards Ilyashenko published his own full proof of Dulac's theorem in Ilyashenko (in: Translations of mathematical monographs, American Mathematical Society, Providence, 1991). We provide evidence that the approach of Ilyashenko (1991) to the proof of Dulac's theorem has a gap. Although the asymptotics of Ilyashenko (1991) capture far more than the asymptotics of Dulac, we prove that the arguments for why the asymptotics in Ilyashenko (1991) are not themselves oscillatory is insufficient. We give an explicit counterexample and we draw confines to which Ilyashenko's result may be restricted in order to keep the validity.This work was supported by ‘Research Foundation - Flanders, FWO’ file number 11E6821N
