Culture and Literary Criticism in the 1930s and '40s.The Case of F.R. and Q.D. Leavis by Jean-Christophe MURAT

“…s relations with each other and with other major Cambridge academics of the 1920s and '30s, before analysing the Leavises' vexed but constant relationships with the world of the print media, and asking whether they should be regarded as proper critics, or as mere representatives of a higher form of journalism. All along the argument will be guided by the implicit - or sometimes explicit - distinction between two conceptions of culture and criticism: one that simply views the teaching of literature as the handing down of a set of dates, canonical names and consensual judgments; the other that considers that this teaching should exert a decisive influence on one's perception of human culture and history, and induce a collaborative form of social life. …”

The semi-classical saddles in three-dimensional gravity via holography and mini-superspace approach by Heng-Yu Chen, Yasuaki Hikida, Yusuke Taki, Takahiro Uetoko

“…For this, we describe the gravity theory by Chern-Simons theory and classify the possible saddles based on the homotopy group argument. We further realize the semi-classical saddles using the mini-superspace model of quantum gravity and explicitly determine the integral contour. …”

Boundary-Value Problems for Weakly Nonlinear Delay Differential Systems by A. Boichuk, J. Diblík, D. Khusainov, M. Růžičková

“…Conditions are derived of the existence of solutions of nonlinear boundary-value problems for systems of n ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients and single delay (in the linear part) and with a finite number of measurable delays of argument in nonlinearity: ż(t)=Az(t-τ)+g(t)+εZ(z(hi(t),t,ε),  t∈[a,b], assuming that these solutions satisfy the initial and boundary conditions z(s):=ψ(s) if s∉[a,b],  lz(⋅)=α∈Rm. …”

Cultural Foundations of Social Policy: A Study on the Establishment Discussions of the Social Assistance and Solidarity Foundations by Şenol Kurt

Food, markets, and governance: a new lens on the emergence of collective institutions by Richard E. Blanton, Gary M. Feinman

“…We employ access to food as an analytical lens to compare and explore the interplay between economic practices and political change in three premodern complex societies: Early Imperial China (primarily the Han Dynasty), the Athenian democracy, and Medieval to Early Modern England. Explicitly framed by the theory of political collective action and economists’ notions of capital and competitive markets, we illustrate how food economies had a key role in shaping the political evolution of collective governing institutions. …”
