The Representation of Cultural Content in Global Elementary Coursebook
This study was to find out the types of cultural content source found in the reading and listening texts presented in Global elementary coursebook (2012) and the similarities and differences of the types of cultural content source found in those texts. The data were analyzed using the theory of types of cultural content source proposed by Matsuda (2012). The findings of this study showed that the reading texts met 54.9% of global culture, 35.3% of target culture, and 9.8% of local culture while the listening texts met 72.5% of global culture, 25% of target culture, and 2.5% of local culture. All in all, as proposed by Matsuda (2012), a good coursebook is the one that has multiple sources of cultural content; and Global elementary coursebook fulfills this criterion as it has three types of cultural content source
Program representation size in an intermediate language with intersection and union types
The CIL compiler for core Standard ML compiles whole programs using a novel typed intermediate language (TIL) with intersection and union types and flow labels on both terms and types. The CIL term representation duplicates portions of the program where intersection types are introduced and union types are eliminated. This duplication makes it easier to represent type information and to introduce customized data representations. However, duplication incurs compile-time space costs that are potentially much greater than are incurred in TILs employing type-level abstraction or quantification. In this paper, we present empirical data on the compile-time space costs of using CIL as an intermediate language. The data shows that these costs can be made tractable by using sufficiently fine-grained flow analyses together with standard hash-consing techniques. The data also suggests that non-duplicating formulations of intersection (and union) types would not achieve significantly better space complexity.National Science Foundation (CCR-9417382, CISE/CCR ESS 9806747); Sun grant (EDUD-7826-990410-US); Faculty Fellowship of the Carroll School of Management, Boston College; U.K. Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (GR/L 36963, GR/L 15685
Representation growth and representation zeta functions of groups
We give a short introduction to the subject of representation growth and
representation zeta functions of groups, omitting all proofs. Our focus is on
results which are relevant to the study of arithmetic groups in semisimple
algebraic groups, such as the special linear group of degree n over the ring of
integers. In the last two sections we state several results which were recently
obtained in joint work with N. Avni, U. Onn and C. Voll.Comment: 14 pages, submitted to Note di Matematica, survey based on a

Discursive representation
Democracy can entail the representation of discourses as well as persons or groups. We explain
and advocate discursive representation; explore its justifications, advantages, and problems;
and show how it can be accomplished in practice. This practice can involve the selection of
discursive representatives to a formal Chamber of Discourses and more informal processes grounded in
the broader public sphere. Discursive representation supports many aspects of deliberative democracy
and is especially applicable to settings such as the international system lacking a well-defined demos
Universal Representation
In an era in which there is little good news for immigrant communities and even holding the line has become an ambitious goal, one progressive project has continued to gain steam: the movement to provide universal representation for noncitizens in removal proceedings. This effort, initially born out of a pilot project in New York City, has generated a host of replication projects throughout the nation and holds the promise of even broader expansion. But as it grows, this effort must confront challenges from within: the sort-of supporters who want to limit this representation system’s coverage in a number of ways, some of which may not merely change the scope of the program, but the core of the project itself
