From Analytic Philosophy to an Ampler and More Flexible Pragmatism: Muhammad Asghari talks with Susan Haack
No full textIn this interview, which took place in July 2020, Muhammad Asghari, an associate professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Tabriz, asked eleven questions (via email ) to Professor Susan Haack, a distinguished professor of philosophy at the University of Miami. This American philosopher eagerly and patiently emailed me the answers to the questions. The questions in this interview are mainly about analytic philosophy and pragmatist philosophy.
This interview was conducted via personal email between me and Professor Susan Haack in July 2020. This interview, which Professor Hawk eagerly accepted, includes eleven questions about her biography and roles of various philosophers in her thought and finally about the influence of the philosophy of pragmatism on her thought. Of course, it goes without saying that the Haack's book Philosophy of Logic in Iran has been translated into Persian and he has published two articles in the quarterly journal of Philosophical Investigations (University of Tabriz) and I also have translated one of her articles into Persian. What was most interesting to me was the influence of pragmatism on Haack's thought that Charles Sanders Pierce, among classical American pragmatists, had as much influence on this philosopher's thought as John Dewey had in Rorty's thought. Here I thank Professor Susan Haack for answering my questions patiently and eagerly

Mirat-ul-Uroos: Female Agency and Male Reform
No full textIn this article, much discussed and popular novel of Nazir Ahmad, Miratul Uroos is analyzed in gender perspective. With the analysis of its main character Asghari, it is argued that novelistic fiction brings about in Urdu literature possibilities of human Agency, especially for the hitherto silenced voices of oppressed gender. This character also brings forth the ambivalent nature of novel, to the extent that even the reformative pulls of the author gave way to the polyphony

The new species was extracted from the rhizosphere of grapevines, in Abhar, Zanjan province, Iran (GPS coordinates: 36 ° 6 ʹ 22.03 " N, 49 ° 16 ʹ 28.65 " E). All specimens were collected by the last author during July-August 2013. Diagnosis and Relationships. Trischistoma abharensis n. sp. is characterised by having females with body length of 1069–1322 Μm; sparse somatic setae on the sublateral body; absence of ventromedian cervical setae; a distinct dorsal tooth directed anteriorly; absence of post-vulval uterine sac (PVS); and a pair of caudal setae on the tail. Males were not found, suggesting that they are either rare or absent. The species in the genus Trischistoma are divided into two groups with or without a PVS (Table 2). Trischistoma abharensis n. sp. belongs to the second group (i. e. without a PVS), containing T. waiotama, T. pellucidum, T. tukorehe and T. gracile. Trischistoma abharensis n. sp. is morphologically similar to T. gracile, but it can be separated by having slightly longer body length (1069–1322 vs 1000–1100 Μm), more slender body (a = 53.5–62.6 vs 49–53), longer pharynx (240–266 vs 205–216 Μm), the location of the dorsal tooth: (posterior to cephalic setae and 16–19 Μm from the anterior end vs opposite to cephalic setae and 12 Μm from the anterior end), distinct dorsal tooth vs indistinct or minute dorsal tooth, having sparse somatic setae on the body vs absent; and a pair of caudal setae on the tail vs absent. The new species differs from T. waiotama by having a longer body length (1069–1322 vs 675–908 Μm) and more slender body shape (a = 53.5–62.6 vs 32–41), longer pharynx (240–266 vs 171–198 Μm), posterior position of dorsal tooth (16–19 vs 13–15 Μm from anterior end), tail length (60–87 vs 50–64 Μm), ventral cervical seta (absent vs present), lateral cervical seta (or somatic seta) in the cervical region (present vs absent). It can be separated from T. pellucidum by its longer body length (1069–1322 vs 600–800 Μm) and more slender body (a = 53.5–62.6 vs 36– 43), longer pharynx (240–266 vs 155 Μm), having a distinct dorsal tooth vs a minute dorsal tooth, lateral cervical seta (or somatic seta) in the cervical region (present vs unknown) and tail length (78–87 vs 50–60 Μm). It also differs from T. tukorehe by having a more slender body (a = 53.5–62.6 vs 38.5–47.1), number of dorsal tooth (one vs two), lateral cervical seta (or somatic seta) in the cervical region (present vs absent). The new species lacks a post-vulval uterine sac and differs from the species possessing this character viz: T. monohystera, T. equatoriale, T. otaika, T. subtilissimum, T. tenuissimum and T. veracruzense. Etymology. Species epithet refers to the city of Abhar, where the type specimen was collected.Published as part of Asghari, Ramezan, Eskandari, Ali, Maafi, Zahra Tanha, Zhao, Zeng Qi, Álvarez-Ortega, Sergio & Nadirkhanloo, Majid, 2015, Description of Trischistoma abharensis n. sp.

Hegel’s Shadow over Contemporaries: A Critical Review of the Book Understanding Hegelianism
No full textThis article reviews the book Understanding Hegelianism written by Robert Sinnerbrink and translated by Mehdi Bahrami and edited by Mohammad Mehdi Ardabili. In this article, we will first analyze the content of the text in the book, regardless of its Persian translation, and mention Hegel's role in European philosophy, especially its role in the formation of French structuralist and poststructuralist thought, and then evaluate Persian translation. Orientalism is one of the best books in our country that can fill the gap caused by Hegelianism in the twentieth century to some extent, although the author of the book is often with his own taste and style of the important French thinker Jacques Lacan, who is part of the thought. It owes itself to Hegel, especially in the sense of "desire," and is one of the book's shortcomings. This article tries to express the advantages and disadvantages of this book with an introduction in order to introduce the author and the importance of his book for the reader and to introduce the form and content of the work and analyze the content of the work. Of course, we have also suggested some Persian terms for the Persian translation
Differential superplasticity in a multi-phase multi-principal element alloy by initial annealing
No full text© 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Multi-phase structure alloys have been widely used in superplasticity deformation due to their ability to inhibit grain growth. However, the current study on multi-phase structure alloys has mainly indicated static grain growth than dynamic grain growth. Dynamic grain growth plays an important role in superplastic deformation because it leads to strain hardening, limiting superplastic elongation. In this research, the Al0.5CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) was annealed at 1473 K for 2 h to form a single-phase FCC microstructure, then subjected to high-pressure torsion (HPT) for grain refinement. This HEA achieved high-strain rate superplasticity with an impressive elongation of 1100% under a temperature of 1073 K at a strain rate of 10–1 s−1. Comparing the results of the present study with a previous work published on the same HEA reveals the impact of initial annealing on the superplastic response. It is suggested that the initial B2, formed during the annealing stage before the HPT process, effectually limits the dynamic grain growth, resulting in remarkably enhanced superplasticity. This investigation introduces the new microstructural evolution to uplift superplasticity in multi-phase structures with dynamic grain growth elimination.

Cybersecurity via Intermediaries: Analyzing Security Measurements to Understand Intermediary Incentives and Inform Public Policy
No full textResearch in the field of information security economics has clarified how attacker and defender incentives affect cybersecurity. It has also highlighted the role of intermediaries in strengthening cybersecurity. Intermediaries are organizations and firms that provide the Internet’s infrastructure and platforms. This dissertation looks at how intermediary behavior and incentives can be understood from measurements—such as incident data and network logs. The question is answered through a literature review, four empirical studies, and two reflection chapters. The studies researched the role of ISPs in mitigating botnets, the success of anti-botnet initiatives in Conficker cleanup, vulnerabilities in the certificate authority ecosystem, and ISP incentives to deploy deep packet inspection, all using cross-country and longitudinal measurements. The dissertation concludes by reflecting on both the methodology and the broader implications for cybersecurity policy.Multi Actor SystemsTechnology, Policy and Managemen
Anomaly Detection Beyond the Research Setting: An exploration of the use of statistics and machine learning to detect cyber attacks
No full textIn this work we approach the problem of deploying anomaly detection techniques for detecting cyber attacks in an organisational environment. Anomaly detection has been an active research area for almost three decades with promising results. However, few such systems have been successfully im- plemented in an operational environment for improving cyber security. Researchers have attempted to identify the reasons for this gap between research and operational success, and provide guidelines on how to overcome it. In this work we use these guidelines to guide us in the exploration of how business organisations approach anomaly detection. We compare the insights from practice with theory in an effort to better understand the main discrepancies between the two settings.SEPAM IAMulti Actor SystemsTechnology, Policy and Managemen
