Contextualized Rights as Effective Rights to All: The Case of Affirmative Action in Brazil by Daniela Ikawa

“…Using Brazil’s affirmative action programs for Black students as a case study, this article will address two prevalent national narratives about the slavery of Black Africans and persons of Black African descent. Only one of those narratives could lead to what I would identify as a “contextualized theory of rights,” ensuring horizontal equality amidst a backdrop of brutal slavery and structural racism. …”

LINGUISTIC IDENTITY OF A TRANSCULTURAL AUTHOR AND ITS REPRESENTATION IN FICTION by T A Lupachyova

“…We make an attempt to analyze the texts by language personalities belonging to transcultural writers of Chinese descent living and working in the USA. We’ve concluded that fiction (and the reflections of Chinese culture in it) is under the influence of a number of individual characteristics of a writer’s language personality, such as: type and degree of bilingualism, place of birth, environment of upbringing, education, sex, years of life and work, etc.…”

Le rose, la chimera e il viaggio: il dannunzianesimo rivissuto di Dino Campana by Imbriani, Maria Teresa

“…We focus in particular on some thematic units, the roses, the chimera and the journey, with the awareness that ‘despised’ d’Annunzio has a large part in the construction of the Campana’s poetry collection, that even exhibits a first title of direct descent from d’Annunzio. Moreover, the d’Annunzio’s brand rules as well as in the Campana’s work also in his life, in that program of an inimitable live inverted, which takes its superomism, lived from below, to the second twentieth century beat generation. …”

An Efficient Subspace Minimization Conjugate Gradient Method for Solving Nonlinear Monotone Equations with Convex Constraints by Taiyong Song, Zexian Liu

“…In this paper, we extend the SMCG methods and present an efficient SMCG method for solving nonlinear monotone equations with convex constraints by combining it with the projection technique, where the search direction is sufficiently descent.Under mild conditions, we establish the global convergence and R-linear convergence rate of the proposed method. …”

The impact of representatives of Iraqi religious minorities in discussions by أحمد إبراهيم آل مصطفى

“… The arrival of minority representatives during the reign of King Faisal I to the dome of the parliament depended on their closeness to the royal court, and because the constitution specified eight seats for them in each electoral cycle, their presence became a foregone conclusion, and these were distinguished by their high cultural levels and their descent from ancient families who practiced commercial work, and perhaps the foregoing It was reflected in their cohesion within the Representative Council and the unification of their dissertations by a large percentage. …”
