Finding Common Feminist Ground: The Role of the Next Generation in Shaping Feminist Legal Theory
This article explores the ways in which current feminist frameworks are dividing the women’s movement along generational lines, thereby inhibiting progress in the struggle for gender equality. Third-wave feminists, or the generation of feminists that came of age in the 1990s and continues today, have been criticized for focusing on personal stories of oppression and failing to influence feminist legal theory. Yet this critique presupposes that third-wave feminism is fundamentally different from the feminism of past generations. In contrast, this article argues that third-wave feminism is rooted in the feminist legal theory developed in the prior generation.
This article demonstrates that the third-wave appears to be failing to influence feminist legal theory not because it is theoretically different, but because third-wave feminists approach activism in such a different way. For example, third-wavers envision “women’s issues” broadly, and rely on new tactics such as online organizing. Using the case study of Spark, a nonprofit organization employing third-wave activism to support global grassroots women’s organizations, this article provides a model of this new brand of feminism in practice.
This article proposes the adoption of social justice feminism, which advocates casting a broader feminist net to capture those who have been traditionally neglected by the women’s movement, such as low-income women and women of color. Social justice feminism is a way to broaden the focus from a rights-based approach to an examination of the dynamics of power and privilege that continue to shape women’s lives even when legal rights to equality have been won. Adopting social justice feminism can be a way to bridge second- and third-wave feminism and create a more robust and unified feminist movement, thereby mending the divisions that currently prevent unification in the women’s movement
Mixed collective states of many spins
Mixed states of samples of spin s particles which are symmetric under
permutations of the particles are described in terms of their total collective
spin quantum numbers. We use this description to analyze the influence on spin
squeezing due to imperfect initial state preparation.Comment: Section V on extension of the results to atoms with more than two

Many-Body Expanded Full Configuration Interaction. II. Strongly Correlated Regime
In this second part of our series on the recently proposed many-body expanded
full configuration interaction (MBE-FCI) method, we introduce the concept of
multideterminantal expansion references. Through theoretical arguments and
numerical validations, the use of this class of starting points is shown to
result in a focussed compression of the MBE decomposition of the FCI energy,
thus allowing chemical problems dominated by strong correlation to be addressed
by the method. The general applicability and performance enhancements of
MBE-FCI are verified for standard stress tests such as the bond dissociations
in HO, N, C, and a linear H chain. Furthermore, the benefits
of employing a multideterminantal expansion reference in accelerating
calculations of high accuracy are discussed, with an emphasis on calculations
in extended basis sets. As an illustration of this latter quality of the
MBE-FCI method, results for HO and C in basis sets ranging from double-
to pentuple- quality are presented, demonstrating near-ideal parallel
scaling on up to almost processing units.Comment: 41 pages, 4 tables, 10 figures, 1 SI attached as an ancillary fil
Many-Body Expanded Full Configuration Interaction. I. Weakly Correlated Regime
Over the course of the past few decades, the field of computational chemistry
has managed to manifest itself as a key complement to more traditional
lab-oriented chemistry. This is particularly true in the wake of the recent
renaissance of full configuration interaction (FCI)-level methodologies, albeit
only if these can prove themselves sufficiently robust and versatile to be
routinely applied to a variety of chemical problems of interest. In the present
series of works, performance and feature enhancements of one such avenue
towards FCI-level results for medium to large one-electron basis sets, the
recently introduced many-body expanded full configuration interaction (MBE-FCI)
formalism [J. Phys. Chem. Lett., 8, 4633 (2017)], will be presented.
Specifically, in this opening part of the series, the capabilities of the
MBE-FCI method in producing near-exact ground state energies for weakly
correlated molecules of any spin multiplicity will be demonstrated.Comment: 38 pages, 7 tables, 3 figures, 1 SI attached as an ancillary fil
Hubungan Persepsi Siswa Terhadap Punishment Yang Diberikan Guru Dan Kecerdasan Emosi Dengan Kedisiplinan
This study aimed to determine the relationship of students' perceptions of punishment given to teachers and emotional intelligence with discipline. The subjects of this study were junior high school students of Kristen Petra 3 Surabaya eight grade, totaling 127 students. Data collection tools used in this study was scale of students' perception of punishment provided by the teacher, scale of emotional intelligence, and scale of discipline. Based on anareg, obtained anareg correlation coefficient F = 1.085, p = 0.341 (p > 0.05). This means that together there is no relationship between students' perceptions of punishment given to teachers and emotional intelligence discipline. Independent variable partial test students' perception of the teacher's punishment resulted in p = 0.155 (p > 0.05), this shows the independent variable students' perceptions of teachers' punishment given nothing to do with discipline. Partial test of emotional intelligence independent variable produces a p-value = 0.584 (at p > 0.05), the independent variables of emotional intelligence showed no relationship with the discipline
Individual Security and Network Design with Malicious Nodes
Networks are beneficial to those being connected but can also be used as
carriers of contagious hostile attacks. These attacks are often facilitated by
exploiting corrupt network users. To protect against the attacks, users can
resort to costly defense. The decentralized nature of such protection is known
to be inefficient but the inefficiencies can be mitigated by a careful network
design. Is network design still effective when not all users can be trusted? We
propose a model of network design and defense with byzantine nodes to address
this question. We study the optimal defended networks in the case of
centralized defense and, for the case of decentralized defense, we show that
the inefficiencies due to decentralization can be fully mitigated, despite the
presence of the byzantine nodes.Comment: 19 pages, 3 figure
Investigating in-medium properties of the meson via the decay
We investigate the feasibility of studying in-medium properties of the
meson in photoproduction experiments via the decay
. We use the GiBUU transport model to compare
different methods of obtaining in-medium information, such as the invariant
mass spectrum, transparency ratio, excitation function and momentum spectrum.
We show that the final-state interaction of the pion poses a major obstacle for
the interpretation of the invariant mass spectrum. The other three observables
turn out to be fairly independent of final-state interactions and thus can give
access to the 's in-medium properties.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure
