Fake News and Indifference to Scientific Fact: President Trump's Confused Tweets on Global Warming, Climate Change and Weather
A set of 115 tweets on climate change by President Trump, from 2011 to 2015, are analysed by means of the data mining technique, sentiment analysis. The intention is to explore the contents and sentiments of the messages contained the degree to which they differ, and their implications about his understanding of climate change. The results suggest a predominantly negative emotion in relation to tweets on climate change, but they appear to lack a clear logical framework, and confuse short term variations in localised weather with long term global average climate change
Fake News and Indifference to Truth
State of the Union Addresses (SOUA) by two recent US Presidents, President
Obama (2016) and President Trump (2018), and a series of recent of tweets by
President Trump, are analysed by means of the data mining technique, sentiment
analysis. The intention is to explore the contents and sentiments of the
messages contained, the degree to which they dier, and their potential implications
for the national mood and state of the economy. President Trump's 2018
SOUA and his sample tweets are identied as being more positive in sentiment
than President Obama's 2016 SOUA. This is conrmed by bootstrapped t tests
and non-parametric sign tests on components of the respective sentiment scores.
The issue of whether overly positive pronouncements amount to self-promotion,
rather than intrinsic merit or sentiment, is a topic for future research
Analysis of attitudes of Turkish citizens towards the effect of European Union membership on the economic, political, and cultural environment
Author's OriginalPrevious studies on Turkey’s possible accession to the European Union have mostly focused on the level of support for membership as expressed by Turkish citizens. The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on the specific expectations and perceptions of the Turks about the EU membership process, focusing on economic development, democratic progress, economic and political stability, and cultural influence. In both the focus group studies and the final survey, the authors targeted people who have some knowledge about the EU accession process and EU membership, namely, academics and business people.Aybar, C., Mergen, A., Perotti, V., & Reid, D.

Interpretative and predictive modelling of Joint European Torus collisionality scans
Transport modelling of Joint European Torus (JET) dimensionless collisionality scaling experiments in various operational scenarios is presented. Interpretative simulations at a fixed radial position are combined with predictive JETTO simulations of temperatures and densities, using the TGLF transport model. The model includes electromagnetic effects and collisions as well as □(→┬E ) X □(→┬B ) shear in Miller geometry. Focus is on particle transport and the role of the neutral beam injection (NBI) particle source for the density peaking. The experimental 3-point collisionality scans include L-mode, and H-mode (D and H and higher beta D plasma) plasmas in a total of 12 discharges. Experimental results presented in (Tala et al 2017 44th EPS Conf.) indicate that for the H-mode scans, the NBI particle source plays an important role for the density peaking, whereas for the L-mode scan, the influence of the particle source is small. In general, both the interpretative and predictive transport simulations support the experimental conclusions on the role of the NBI particle source for the 12 JET discharges
Intellectual property rights: a comparative perspective on Asia, the EU, and North America
Este artÃculo explora algunas de las diferencias fundamentales en las condiciones, procedimientos e intereses
entre los bloques comerciales más importantes y algunos paÃses que forman parte de éstos. Se centra
principalmente en los desafÃos que enfrenta el régimen de la propiedad intelectual (pi), particularmente en
lo que concierne a su protección.
En el contexto asiático se considera la situación y el desafÃo que representa
la protección de la pi en Indonesia, en comparación con Japón, con su historia única respecto
a la adquisición
de pi, o bien de Hong Kong, una región administrativa especial de China, la cual se ve de manera independiente,
aunque sea parte de la República Popular de China. Además, se aborda la situación
de la Unión
Europea y de Estados Unidos, asà como la diferencia de intereses entre las economÃas consumidoras
de
tecnologÃa (ntces, por sus siglas en inglés) y las productoras de tecnologÃa
(ntpes, por sus siglas en inglés).This article explores some of the key differences in conditions, procedures, and interests among major trading
blocs and selected countries within them. Its primary focus is on the challenges faced by an intellectual
property (ip) regime, especially related to ip protection. In the Asian context, consideration is given to the status
and challenge of ip protection in Indonesia, and, for contrast, Japan, with its singular history of ip acquisition.
Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of China, is considered separately as is part of the People�s Republic
of China. Then the EU and the United States are addressed. In addition, the divergence of interests between net
technology-consuming economies (ntces) and net technology-producing economies (ntpes) are considered
