Rigorous Multimode Equivalent Network Representation of Multilayer Planar Circuits
2018
The objective of this paper is to extend the use of the Multimode Equivalent Network formulation, originally developed to analyze waveguide junctions, to the analysis of planar circuits that include arbitrary rectangular printed, zero thickness metallizations together with internal and external ports in the transverse plane. The theoretical derivations lead to an accurate and computationally efficient tool for the analysis of boxed, multilayer microwave printed circuits. In addition to theory, the tool developed is used here to analyze two practical examples: a dual-bandpass and a 4-pole bandpass boxed microstrip filters. Good agreement with respect to commercial software tools and measurem…
Common fixed point theorems of integral type for OWC mappings under relaxed condition
2017
In this paper, we prove a common fixed point theorem for a pair of occasionally weakly compatible (owc) self mappings satisfying a mixed contractive condition of integral type without using the triangle inequality. We prove also analogous results for two pairs of owc self mappings by assuming symmetry only on the set of points of coincidence. These results unify, extend and complement many results existing in the recent literature. Finally, we give an application of our results in dynamic programming.
Threats and attitudes toward Russian-speaking immigrants: a comparative study between younger and older Finns
2014
Using integrated threat theory as a theoretical lens to detect negative attitudes toward minority groups, this study compares and contrasts the perceptions and attitudes of older and younger Finns toward Russian-speaking minorities in Finland. A sample of high school students between 16 and 20 years of age represented the younger generation, while individuals over 65 years of age represented the older generation. The total sample was 242. Results indicated that there is a positive correlation between threat perception and prejudice. Results revealed that both groups have prejudices against Russian speakers and that these prejudices are related to the perception of realistic threat and negat…
Region Community in Communication Theory
2014
The aim of the report is to determine how local and regional newspapers represent local communities and how their communicative integration has been promoted. Mass media, establishing community cognition about its existence, involvement into the community, identification and belonging to the community, represent a perfect model of interaction between community and communication. During the content analysis of the press publications of local newspapers of Latgale region the typological characteristics and classification are emphasized, the role of the press in the development of the region inhabitants is defined, the direction and structure of the editorial board activities, newspapers’ cont…
Troubled Multiculturalisms and Disrupted Secularities: Religion and Social Integration ‘Crises’ in North Western Europe in Comparative Perspective
2013
These quotations give a sense of the range of themes addressed in this book. Since the turn of the millennium, European societies have been shaken by the re-emergence of religion as a contested factor in public life, arguably part of a worldwide pattern, but taking distinctive form in this most secular part of the world (Norris and Inglehart 2011: 85–9). In this introduction, and again in the conclusion, the European cases which lie at the heart of this book will be situated in the context of broader global developments, in order to better understand the politics of religion in today’s religiously diverse but differently secular societies.
Northern Ireland: Sectarianism, Civil Society and Democratic Deepening
2013
The main aim of this chapter is to provide an overview and evaluation of evidence of efforts at peace-building at the level of civil society (rather than political processes, where most analyses have focused) in Northern Ireland, particularly since the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) of 1998. How successful have attempts, at the level of civil society, by the people of Northern Ireland, the Irish and British governments, the EU and US governments and other actors been in creating community cohesion in a society with a long history of social and political division? In particular, what has been the role of cross-community and religious groups in these efforts? A second aim is to begin to articula…
About Compactness of Faddeev Integral Equations for Three Charged Particles
1999
Momentum space three-body integral equations of the Faddeev type can not be used for Coulomb-like potentials, for energies above the breakup threshold. The reason is the occurrence of singularities in their kernels which destroy the compactness properties known to exist for purely short-range interactions. Using the rigorously equivalent formulation in terms of an effective-two- body theory, we prove that the nondiagonal kernels occurring therein possess on and off the energy shell only integrable singularities, provided all three particles have charges of the same sign (ie., only repulsive Coulomb interactions). In contrast, if some of the charges have opposite signs the nondiagonal kernel…
Interrelation Between European Union Protection and National Protection
2014
In addition to registration requirements, registration procedure, and the protection of registered IGOs, namely PDOs and PGIs, as well as protected indications of origin (within the Aromatised Wines Regulation), the EU law on IGOs also includes the regulation of other aspects. Competence of state institutions of EU Member States to ensure the observance of the regulation of IGOs as it is provided in the EU law or interrelation with other EU legal acts relating to IGOs already discussed in Part II of this book should be mentioned among such aspects.
Comerç internacional i política econòmica de la Unió Europea: aportacions pràctiques
2009
En el actual plan de estudios figuran asignaturas bajo el epígrafe de Comercio internacional en el segundo ciclo, y Economía mundial (internacional) en el primer año del primer ciclo. Existen manuales de referencia que proporcionan un temario muy completo, pero, a veces, con pocos ejemplos y aplicaciones prácticas. Mi propuesta docente es ofrecer un programa en el que se complementen los conceptos teóricos con cuestiones más aplicadas que giren entorno a las políticas económicas referidas a la integración Europea. Adicionalmente cabe destacar que las aportaciones son más evidentes e impactantes a la hora de abordar las teorías del comercio internacional bajo condiciones de competencia imper…
L'attaccamento ai luoghi come modello interpretativo delle relazioni dell'uomo con la cultura. Una ricerca su un campione di ragazzi tunisini della c…
2014
L'attaccamento al luogo è un essenziale bisogno umano in grado di nutrire il senso dell'identità di individui e collettività, a prescindere dai cambiamenti della società. Intento principale in questo lavoro di tesi è quello dell'integrazione, legato al fenomeno dell' intercultura. Il lavoro di tesi è riferito nello specifico nella città di Mazara del Vallo, centro nevralgico di incontro di culture. Ho scelto di indagare la percezione del luogo da parte della popolazione immigrata, coinvolgendo in particolare gli adolescenti che costituiscono la cosiddetta "seconda generazione", e confrontandone le opinioni con quelle espresse dai coetanei autoctoni. L'aspetto più propriamente statistico rig…
