Bohdan Boichuk’s Childhood Reveries: A Migrant’s Nostalgia, or, Documenting Pain in Poetry
This paper examines Bohdan Boichuk’s poetry by looking into the role his childhood
memories played in forming his poetic imagination. Displaced by World War II, the
poet displays a unique capacity to transcend his traumatic experiences by engaging in creative writing. Eyewitnessing war atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis does not destroy his belief in the healing power of poetry; on the contrary, it makes him appreciate poetry as the only existentially worthy enterprise. Invoking Gaston Bachelard’s classic work The Poetics of Reveries: Childhood, Language, and the Cosmos, I argue that Boichuk’s vivid childhood memories, however painful they might be, helped him poetically recreate and reimagine fateful moments of his migrant life
Alfredo Deaño and the non-accidental transition of thought
If the cultural variations concerning knowledge and research on ordinary
reasoning are part of cultural history, what kind of historiographical method is needed
in order to present the history of its evolution? This paper proposes to introduce the
study of theories of reasoning into a historiographic perspective because we assume
that the answer to the previous question does not only depend of internal controversies
about how reasoning performance is explained by current theories of reasoning. [...
Participatory justice and mediation toward a new model of justice
This paper provides a brief description of the model of participatory justice that is emerging in Europe and in North and South American States. Participatory justice promotes new forms of conflict resolution, as does mediation, based on voluntariness and confidentiality, as well as the participation of all parties in the management of conflict. In 2010, Italian legislators introduced mediation as an alternative form of dispute resolution in civil and commercial matters in order to reduce the burden of the Courts. This reform has not been successful so far because Italian lawmakers have introduced mediation into the civil justice system without reforming the framework of its underlying principles.El presente artículo tiene como propósito realizar una breve descripción teórica sobre el modelo de justicia participativa que está surgiendo en Europa y en los Estados del continente americano. La justicia participativa promueve métodos alternativos de resolución de conflictos, como la mediación, caracterizados por la voluntariedad, la confidencialidad y la participación de todas las partes en la gestión de conflictos que las dividen. En 2010 los legisladores italianos introdujeron la mediación en asuntos civiles y mercantiles para reducir la carga de los tribunales. La reforma, sin embargo, no tuvo éxito debido a que los legisladores italianos establecieron la mediación sin armonizar sus principios con los del modelo tradicional de justicia
Conjugacy of real diffeomorphisms. A survey
Given a group G, the conjugacy problem in G is the problem of giving an
effective procedure for determining whether or not two given elements f, g of G
are conjugate, i.e. whether there exists h belonging to G with fh = hg. This
paper is about the conjugacy problem in the group Diffeo(I) of all
diffeomorphisms of an interval I in R. There is much classical work on the
subject, solving the conjugacy problem for special classes of maps.
Unfortunately, it is also true that many results and arguments known to the
experts are difficult to find in the literature, or simply absent. We try to
repair these lacunae, by giving a systematic review, and we also include new
results about the conjugacy classification in the general case.Comment: 53 page
Positive solutions for singularly perturbed nonlinear elliptic problem on manifolds via Morse theory
Given (M, g0) we consider the problem -{\epsilon}^2Delta_{g0+h}u + u =
(u+)^{p-1} with ({\epsilon}, h) \in (0, {\epsilon}0) \times B{\rho}. Here
B{\rho} is a ball centered at 0 with radius {\rho} in the Banach space of all
Ck symmetric covariant 2-tensors on M. Using the Poincar\'e polynomial of M, we
give an estimate on the number of nonconstant solutions with low energy for
({\epsilon}, h) belonging to a residual subset of (0, {\epsilon}0) \times
B{\rho}, for ({\epsilon}0, {\rho}) small enough

Methods and compositions for stimulating T-lymphocytes
Disclosed are methods, compositions, antibodies, and therapeutic kits for use in stimulating cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and generating immune responses against epitopes of protooncogenes. Novel peptides are described which have been shown to stimulate cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and act as antigens in generation of oncogenic epitope-recognizing antibodies. Methods are disclosed for use in treating various proliferative disorders, and diagnosing HER-2/neu-containing cells; also disclosed are therapeutic kits useful in the treatment of cancer and production of potential anti-cancer vaccines.Board of Regents, University of Texas Syste
