Mantle Flow Pattern Associated With the Patagonian Slab Window Determined From Azimuthal Anisotropy
No full textGeological processes in Southern Patagonia are affected by the Patagonian slab window, formed by the subduction of the Chile Ridge and subsequent northward migration of the Chile Triple Junction. Using shear wave splitting analysis, we observe strong splitting of up to 2.5 s with an E-W fast direction just south of the triple junction and the edge of the subducting Nazca slab. This region of strong anisotropy is coincident with low uppermost mantle shear velocities and an absence of mantle lithosphere, indicating that the mantle flow occurs in a warm, low-viscosity, 200–300 km wide shallow mantle channel just to the south of the Nazca slab. The region of flow corresponds to a volcanic gap caused by depleted mantle compositions and absence of slab-derived water. In most of Patagonia to the south of this channel, splitting fast directions trend NE-SW consistent with large-scale asthenospheric flow.Fil: Ben Mansour, Walid.

The formation of the classical tafsīr tradition : the Qurʼān commentary of al-Thaʻlabī (d. 427/1035) by Walid A. Saleh.
No full text"This work is both an introduction to the genre of classical tafsir and a detailed study of one of its major architects, al-Thalabi (d. 427/1035). The book offers a detailed study of the hermeneutical principles that governed al-Thalabi's approach to the Quran, principles which became the norm in later exegetical works. It is divided into three main sections: the first outlines the life and times of the author; the second is a detailed study of his major exegetical work, al-Kashf; the third charts a brief history of the genre of tafsir through documenting the reactions of later exegetes to al-Kashf. This work brings together material never examined before and tries to offer anew way of understanding the history of classical Quran exegesis."--Jacket.Includes bibliographical references (pages 251-259) and indexes."This work is both an introduction to the genre of classical tafsir and a detailed study of one of its major architects, al-Thalabi (d. 427/1035).

The effect of religiosity and overconfidence on risk tolerance and excessive trading
No full textThis thesis is an attempt to examine the effect of the level of religiosity and the
overconfidence bias on the risk tolerance and excessive trading of individual investors in
Saudi Arabia. It is assumed that the level of religiosity is negatively related to the level
risk tolerance and the trading frequency. As for the overconfidence bias, it is assumed
that it is positively related to risk-taking and it leads investors to trade excessively. For
this purpose, a questionnaire is distributed among individual investors. The set of data
obtained was analyzed using PLS-based SEM.
The results of this thesis show that there is a negative relationship between
miscalibration, which is one aspect of the overconfidence bias, and risk tolerance.
Further, the illusion of control, which is another aspect of overconfidence, was found to
have a positive relationship with the propensity to gamble. These two relationships are
supported by statistical significance. As for the rest of the variables, there was not any
strong evidence neither to conclude that relationships do exist between them nor to state
that they are not at all related
Exploring Author Context for Detecting Intended vs Perceived Sarcasm
No full textWe investigate the impact of using author context on textual sarcasm detection. We define author context as the embedded representation of their historical posts on Twitter and suggest neural models that extract these representations. We experiment with two tweet datasets, one labelled manually for sarcasm, and the other via tag-based distant supervision. We achieve state-of-the-art performance on the second dataset, but not on the one labelled manually, indicating a difference between intended sarcasm, captured by distant supervision, and perceived sarcasm, captured by manual labelling.<br/

Flaubert lecteur de l'Histoire naturelle de Pline
No full textThis article questions the relationship between flaubertian writing and the latin text that represents one of the major sources of Salammbo’s composition. It intends more specifically to examine the way in which the details taken from Pliny’s Natural History and which were diversely used by Flaubert during the composition of the “ roman carthaginois” were processed. In fact, various methods and techniques were implemented in the genesis : – combining data stemming from the author''s reading with issues of his own experience – condensating data – deliberately pursuing strangeness and seeking inaccuracy – description serving narration. With Flaubert, the ancient works lose their exemplary nature and become sources of documentation and the Ancients cease being the ideals they were during the renaissance and the classical periods. Analyzing these methods and processes can bring us to reflect on the poetic aspect of Flaubert’s writing largely based on documentation.Cet article s’interroge sur la relation qu’entretient l’écriture flaubertienne avec le texte latin et qui constitue l’un des ressorts clefs de la composition de Salammbô : il se propose plus précisément d’examiner la façon dont sont transformés les détails empruntés à l’Histoire naturelle de Pline, et qui sont diversement exploités par Flaubert pendant la composition du roman carthaginois. En effet, différentes méthodes et techniques sont utilisées au cours de la genèse de l’oeuvre : combinaison entre des données tirées des lectures de l’auteur et d’autres provenant de son expérience propre, condensation de données, recherche de l’étrangeté, imprécision volontaire, description au service de la narration. Avec Flaubert, les ouvrages anciens perdent leur exemplarité pour devenir sources de documentation et les Anciens cessent d’être des modèles comme ils l’étaient à la Renaissance et à l’époque classique. L’analyse de ces méthodes et procédés peut nous amener à réfléchir sur la poétique d''une écriture flaubertienne fondée en grande partie sur la documentation.Ezzine Walid.

Art and political dissent in postwar Lebanon: Walid Sadek's fi annani akbar min bikasu [bigger than picasso]
No full textTaking Walid Sadek's fi annani akbar min bikasu [bigger than picasso] as its starting point, this article examines relations of art and politics in post-civil war Lebanon. A tiny and inexpensive paperback related to Picasso unfolds into a work of art that raises questions about the place of art and political dissent. After situating bigger than picasso in the context of contemporary book art and artistic practices of the postwar generation in Lebanon, the article focuses on the juxtaposition of text and image. By placing narratives of art vandalism next to the image of a monument dedicated to the late Syrian President Hafiz al-Asad, bigger than picasso playfully and provocatively breaks with political taboos at a time when the silence about the Lebanese Civil War (1975-90) and about Lebanese-Syrian relations was met with increasing anxiety. At the same time, the work makes room for aesthetic inquiries, exploring new possibilities of art at the margins of cultural production. The article concludes that bigger than picasso brings to the fore the discrepancy between public monumentality and artistic practices, which in finding ways around political violence and censorship have recourse to ephemeral and private spheres, and holds unexpected meanings in ever-changing political circumstances.
