Women writing novels on art: ekphrasis in twenty-first century fiction by Behluli, S

“…Even though art is often the cause or amplifier of conflict in these novels, it is also offered as an optimistic remedy to these same conflicts. The dynamic genre of the novel – with its sheer length, its unparalleled ability to represent psychological interiority and voice, and its focus on the complex relationship between the individuum and their society – is the ideal artform through which such concerns can be scrutinised. …”

In defence of children: pro- and anti-natalist arguments in moral philosophy and Karl Barth by Anderson, M

“…The first chapter argues that neutrality between ‘optimistic’ and ‘pessimistic’ accounts of procreative risk and rationality entail a <em>de facto</em> anti-natalism, and that otherwise attractive constructivist pro-natalisms that appeal to ‘parenthood’ as a non-derivative source of reasons struggle to explain why such an interest supplies a reason to procreate rather than adopt. …”

“…Finally, most applications can be achieved with a realistic SNR, with the exception of bathymetry, shallow water classification, as well as carbon dioxide and methane estimation, which require the optimistic SNR level tested. On the basis of these results, CNES is currently evaluating the best compromise for designing the future hyperspectral sensor to meet the objectives of priority applications.…”
