The self-semiotic project, as stated by Jean Claude Coquet, has its programs and procedures that study the articulated self, the perceptive self, the present self, the absent self, and the quasi-self, by demonstrating its competence and extrapolating its aspects (ability, knowledge, will, desire, duty).

This research seeks to approach the self in Souad al-Kuwari’s poetry in a semiotic method, as it constitutes a central focus from which her poetic creativity radiates and revolves in its orbit, which made it the subject of attention for this applied study, which adopts the semiotic approach in its postmodern data

Explaining Myanmar's Regime Transition: The Periphery is Central
No full textIn 2010, Myanmar (Burma) held its first elections after 22 years of direct military rule. Few compelling explanations for this regime transition have emerged. This article critiques popular accounts and potential explanations generated by theories of authoritarian ‘regime breakdown’ and ‘regime maintenance’. It returns instead to the classical literature on military intervention and withdrawal. Military regimes, when not terminated by internal factionalism or external unrest, typically liberalise once they feel they have sufficiently addressed the crises that prompted their seizure of power. This was the case in Myanmar. The military intervened for fear that political unrest and ethnic-minority separatist insurgencies would destroy Myanmar’s always-fragile territorial integrity and sovereignty. Far from suddenly liberalising in 2010, the regime sought to create a ‘disciplined democracy’ to safeguard its preferred social and political order twice before, but was thwarted by societal opposition. Its success in 2010 stemmed from a strategy of coercive state-building and economic incorporation via ‘ceasefire capitalism’, which weakened and co-opted much of the opposition. Having altered the balance of forces in its favour, the regime felt sufficiently confident to impose its preferred settlement. However, the transition neither reflected total ‘victory’ for the military nor secured a genuine or lasting peace
Enhanced magnetic moment with cobalt dopant in SnS2semiconductor
No full text© 2021 Author(s).We report the strong ferromagnetic order in van der Waals (vdW) layered SnS2 induced by cobalt substitution. The single-crystal Co-doped SnS2 grown by a self-flux method reveals a relatively high Curie temperature (TC) of ∼131 K with an in-plane magnetic easy axis and a large saturation magnetization of ∼0.65 emu g-1 for the 2 at. % Co concentration, which is two orders of magnitude larger than the previously reported value for transition-metal-doped SnS2. The average magnetic moment per Co atom, as high as 1.08 μB, is consistent with the calculated value based on density functional theory, i.e., 1 μB, indicating a negligible antiferromagnetic coupling between Co atoms. Magnetoresistance shows a change in sign from positive to negative, which further confirms the ferromagnetic order in Co-doped SnS2. Our s-p hybridized vdW layered SnS2 serves as a host semiconductor material to search for a suitable magnetic dopant with a high magnetic moment and room temperature TC for next-generation spintronics.11Nsciescopu
Tactics or mobilising participation and action: GetUp! A cast study of communicative spaces
No full textGetUp! began in 2005. It is an Australian grass-roots community advocacy organisation that aims to build an accountable and progressive Australian Parliament, and for this reason it does not support any particular political party (\u27About GetUp!, FAQ (GetUp!)\u27, n.d.). GetUp.org.au claims it is \u27an independent political movement to build a progressive Australia\u27 bringing \u27like-minded people\u27 together \u27who want to bring participation back into our democracy\u27. GetUp!\u27s website is core to the network governance of the group. GetUp members number 350,000 (about 5% of the population). Members are asked to forward the emails they receive from GetUp! to \u27five friends\u27 and, according to GetUp!, through this act messages can reach millions (28 April 2010). Thus GetUp! conducts viral snowball campaigns to create a groundswell of action through: 1) bite-size emails which inform members of the latest issue that needs political action; 2) promotional videos on YouTube; 3) advertisements in national newspapers and on national television; 4) and the development of political campaign skills through Community Organizing Workshops based on \u27Camp Obama\u27. So GetUp!\u27s aim is independent media activism mainly activated through the communicative space of the Internet. The purpose of this paper is to analyse a sample of GetUp!\u27s videos that are used as visual media tools to engage members and the wider citizenry. The author concludes that GetUp!\u27s YouTube videos are potent and effective as tactics to gain access to the \u27symbolic power\u27 of the mainstream media (Couldry 2002) and at the same time retain control over production of their campaign messages. Tactics include production of visual media to be used as an \u27information source\u27 (Grabe & Bucy 2009, p. 26), and viral communication which is effective in creating a \u27media buzz\u27 (Castells 2009, p. 334

The macroeconomics of populism in Latin America
No full textBy populism, this paper refers to an economic approach that emphasizes growth and income redistribution and deemphasizes the risks of inflation and deficit finance, external constraints and the reaction of economic agents to aggressive nonmarket policies. It analyzes two instances of populism - Chile under Allende and Peru under Garcia. These experiences are described in detail, not as a righteous assertion of conservative economics, but as a warning that populist policies ultimately fail, and always at a frightening cost to the groups they were supposed to benefit. This paper explores the question of whether some variant of populist policies could succeed. It suggests that populist policies could succeed if they stayed clear of foreign exchange constraints, emphasized reactivation for a brief initial period, and then shifted to growth policies. Most important, expansionary policies must reflect awareness of capacity constraints and must rely for financing on an extremely orthodox fiscal policy and rigorous tax adminsitration. The paper concludes by warning that IMF-style policies, unconcerned with growth of social progress, may establish financial stability in the short run, but inevitably open the door to yet another round of destructive reaction in the form of populist policies.Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Economic Stabilization,National Governance,Banks&Banking Reform
Openness, outward orientation, trade liberalization, and economic performance in developing countries
No full textThis paper provides a critical review of the existing empirical literature that deals with the relationship between trade orientation and economic performance. Using a model that avoids the shortcomings of most current measures of trade orientation, the author finds strong support for the hypothesis that, other things being equal, countries with a less distorted external sector grow faster than countries with a more distorted external sector.TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT,Economic Theory&Research,Trade Policy,Environmental Economics&Policies,Achieving Shared Growth
