TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined Drucaroff's work as a novelist and her historical analysis of the forces in action at that time, focusing on the level of political consciousness of the characters as well as the measure in which the text adds to the debate as a public discourse relevant to the tragic events in question.
Abstract: El entretejido de una trama policial y varios textos del escritor Rodolfo Walsh, que Elsa Drucaroff concibe como novela historica en El ultimo caso de Rodolfo Walsh (2010), es una clara propuesta para repensar la historia reciente de la Argentina y el rol que tuvieron los protagonistas en los extremos de la contienda ideologica de los anos 70. En este trabajo se examina que tarea asume Drucaroff como novelista al hacer un analisis historico de las fuerzas responsables en dicho contexto. Para ello analizamos el nivel de conciencia historica que despliegan los personajes y en que medida constituyen un aporte nuevo al discurso publico en que se debaten los relevantes y tragicos hechos de ese periodo. Si bien los textos de Walsh entramados en esta novela sirven para confirmar la aproximacion analitica de la historia de Drucaroff, como una intelectual de izquierda, es en las instancias y personajes ficticios que podemos rescatar una propuesta para el debate libre del peso que conlleva la figura de Walsh. The interweaving of a detective plot and several texts by Rodolfo Walsh, that Elsa Drucaroff defines as a historical novel in El ultimo caso de Rodolfo Walsh (2010), is her proposition to rethink the recent history of Argentina and the role of those who participated in the extremes of the ideological confrontation of the 1970’s. This paper examines Drucaroff’s work as a novelist and her historical analysis of the forces in action at that time. The focus is on the level of political consciousness of the characters as well as the measure in which the text adds to the debate as a public discourse relevant to the tragic events in question. Even though Walsh’s writings in this novel serve to confirm the analytical approach to history by Drucaroff as a leftist intellectual, it is in the fictional passages and characters that we are able to identify a proposal free from the associations that come with the use of the iconic writer.

TL;DR: The authors found that 2 Commando had developed a pernicious subculture that led them to quickly escalate situations to violence and endanger civilians, and failures in socialization, particularly in ignoring 2 Commando's countercultural subculture, occurred throughout the chain of command.
Abstract: In 1993, the Canadian peacekeeping operation in Somalia came under international scrutiny when a young Somali, Shidane Arone, was beaten to death. His killing cast a dark shadow over a Canadian mission that aimed to provide humanitarian assistance and ensure Canada’s international reputation as a promoter of human rights. Subsequent investigations revealed that 2 Commando, the unit that killed Arone, had been involved in several violent incidents with civilians. However, other Canadian units in similarly hostile conditions had offered comfort and assistance to civilians. After examining training records, enforcement of civilian protection norms, and unit subculture, the author finds that 2 Commando had developed a pernicious subculture that led them to quickly escalate situations to violence and endanger civilians. Although responsibility for Arone’s death was properly attributed to the members of the unit, failures in socialization, particularly in ignoring 2 Commando’s countercultural subculture, occurred throughout the chain of command.

1 Jan 2015TL;DR: This work studies the influence of three different data preprocessing techniques on the quality of patterns extracted from a dataset of Arabic digits spoken by native speakers to determine which data pre processing technique is most effective in producing strong patterns from this dataset.
Abstract: Advancements in speech recognition and voice-to-text technologies have made these topics more popular as of late. When analyzing certain types of time-series data, it is important to properly preprocess the data in order to deal with varied-length instances. In this work we study the influence of three different data preprocessing techniques on the quality of patterns extracted from a dataset of Arabic digits spoken by native speakers. Our ultimate objective is to determine which data preprocessing technique is most effective in producing strong patterns from this dataset which we accomplish by clustering the preprocessed datasets and measuring the quality of the produced clusters. Our experiments underscore the benefits of using the proposed polynomial fitting preprocessing technique to produce desirable results.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple model of peer selection in a static, single-period model setting is presented, and the choice process in the context of a single period model where consumers expend all of their resources.
Abstract: This paper presents a simple model of peer selection in a static, single-period model setting. Given the connections between consumption and how one perceives the consumption of peers, this project takes a further step backward in terms of understanding the process of consumer self-segregation into various “classes” or “peer groups” as a result of concerns about relative consumption, the extent to which one is a member of a relatively larger group of consumers (the size of the bandwagon), and the proximity of the peer or reference income. The paper considers the choice process in the context of a single period model where consumers expend all of their resources. It compares social welfare when individuals independently choose their class divisions with social welfare achieved when class boundaries are determined through an external social welfare maximizing process. The paper then goes on to consider a redistributive scheme that would minimize the difference between the social welfare maximum and that achieved when individuals choose their class divisions freely.
