HALPER Jeff War Against the People: Israel, the Palestinians and Global Pacification, PlutoPress, Londres, 2015, 340 p.
No full textCe livre de l’anthropologue et activiste israélien Jeff Halper s’attarde de façon très originale à deux questions fondamentales : (1) pourquoi le soutien mondial envers Israël est-il si puissant, y compris dans des pays où il n’y a pas de lobby sioniste fortement constitué ? (2) Pourquoi Israël est-il si réticent à adhérer à la solution des deux États, et ce alors que presque tous les États de la région (y compris les Palestiniens) l’ont accepté ? Halper répond sans détour que l’occupation ..
Revue par Halper, Jeff (2021): Liberating Palestine: Zionism, settler colonialism and the case for a democratic state, Londres, Pluto Press
No full textDecolonizing Israel, Liberating Palestine: Zionism, Settler Colonialism, and the Case for One Democratic State (2021), focuses on proposing an innovative perspective to a phenomenon entrenched in zero-sum reasoning, which has demolished the conditions for a two-state solution. Accordingly, Jeff Halper, supported by the 10 points of the One Democratic State Campaign, sets out to present a plan to advance the project of building a single state for all its inhabitants in Palestine/Israel by dismantling the settler colonial regime that from his perspective dominates the political, social and economic relations of both societies.Decolonizing Israel, Liberating Palestine: Zionism, Settler Colonialism, and the Case for One Democratic State (2021), se centra en proponer una perspectiva innovadora a un fenómeno enquistado en razonamientos de suma cero, los cuales han demolido las condiciones para una solución de dos Estados. En consecuencia, Jeff Halper apoyado en los 10 puntos de la One Democratic State Campaign, se propone presentar un plan para avanzar en el proyecto de construir un solo Estado para todos sus habitantes en Palestina/Israel, por medio del desmantelamiento del régimen colonial de colonos que desde su perspectiva domina las relaciones políticas, sociales y económicas de ambas sociedades.Liberating Palestine : Zionism, Settler Colonialism, and the Case for One Democratic State (2021), se concentre sur la proposition d\u27une perspective innovante à un phénomène ancré dans un raisonnement à somme nulle, qui a démoli les conditions d\u27une solution à deux États.

Spatially-localized time dependent solutions including turbulence and their interactions in 2D Kolmogorov flow
No full textIn 2D Kolmogorov flow in small aspect ratio domains, spatially-localized solutions such as kink, traveling or time-dependent kink-antikink pars coexist. However, the conservation of the flow rate in the y direction strongly restrict combination of localized solutions and their positioning. We find that by adding a homogeneous flow U y their positioning is controlled and each of localized solutions including a spatially-localized chaos is isolated. Numerical results suggest that these isolated solutions can be elements constructing a whole flow
Characteristics of overlap region in high-Reynolds number turbulent channel flow
No full textDirect numerical simulation of the fully developed turbulent channel flows have been carried out at the Reynolds number based on the friction velocity and the channel half width, 2000, 4000 and 8000. A hybrid 10th order accurate finite difference scheme in the stream and spanwise directions, and a second-order scheme in the wall-normal direction is adapted as the spatial discretization method. We observed the plateau profiles in the indicator function corresponded to the von Karman constant. Furthermore, second peak of streamwise pre-multiplied spectra were appeared in the same wall normal height, 300 < y+ < 600, in case of Re = 4000. Nevertheless, the effects of the lager than the channel half height scale on the streamwise turbulent intensity are fixed contributions without dependence on Reynolds number. These results suggested that the new streamwise vortexes are formed between buffer layer and outer layer with increasing of Reynolds number
The Pursuit of Happiness in Medieval Jewish and Islamic Thought: Studies Dedicated to Steven Harvey
No full textLa 'circunstancia' de 'Herederos y Pretendientes
Full text linkIn June 2010, the Ortega y Gasset Foundation hosted a Conference about the “Spanish Philosophical Transition” in order to debate the book of Francisco Vázquez, La filosofía española. Herederos y Pretendientes. Una lectura sociológica (1963-1990), recently published. This paper is the author’s response to criticism raised in the Conference and to published reviews received by this book. First, the author summarized the argument of Herederos y pretendientes. Secondly he responds and takes into account the most important objections against the book’s hypothesis and methodology. Finally the author evaluates the favorable judgments received by the book and suggests the limits of the historian’s task.Fundación Ortega y Gasset-Marañó

No full textAuthor self-citation in orthodontics is associated with author origin and gender.
Full text linkBACKGROUND
The aims of this bibliometric study were to determine author self-citation trends in high-impact orthodontic literature and to investigate possible association between self-citation and publication characteristics.
METHODS
Six orthodontic journals with the highest impact factor as ranked by 2017 Journal Citation Reports were screened for a full publication year (2018) for original research articles, reviews, and case reports. Eligible articles were scrutinized for article and author characteristics and citation metrics. Univariable and multivariable negative binomial regression was used to examine associations between self-citation incidence and publication characteristics.
RESULTS
Medians for author self-citation rate of the most self-citing authors and self-citations were 3.03% (range 0-50) and 1 (range 0-19), respectively. In the univariable analysis, there was no association between self-citation counts and study type (P = 0.41), article topic (P = 0.61), number of authors (P = 0.62), and rank of authors (P = 0.56). Author origin (P = 0.001), gender (P = 0.001) and journal (P = 0.05) were associated with self-citation counts and in the multivariable analysis only origin and gender remained strong self-citation predictors. Asian authors and females self-cited significantly less often than all other regions and male authors.
CONCLUSIONS
Authors in orthodontics do not self-cite at a frequency that suggests potential citation manipulation. Author origin and gender were the only variables associated with citations counts. More bibliometric research is necessary to draw solid conclusions about author self-citation trends in orthodontic literature
