Abstract This article seeks to explore the meaning of emotional content in a transnational public sphere, in particular with regard to the concept of solidarity. The main normative question that the author discusses here is how far it is possible – if it’s the case at all – to move beyond the basic structure of nation-linked patriotic feeling to solidarity as a transnational political emotion. He divides his argument into two steps. First, he analyzes how the concept of constitutional patriotism could be reframed around the contours of post-national contexts. He suggests that Hegel’s concept of patriotism as a political disposition can contribute to a transnational framework. In a second step, the author discusses solidarity as a transnational political emotion, arguing that one should have in view both its formative process and its contingencies in order to understand the institutional and symbolic mediation of affective contents of social praxis.

Private And Public

Contemporary democratic theory, in its focus on the distinction between a private and a public sphere, tends to exclude emotions from political life. Arendt, Habermas, and Angus present critical theories of politi­cal action and deliberation that demand that emotions be left behind in favour of a narrower rationality. On the basis of a first step toward incorporating emotions into political life as accomplished by Martha Nussbaum – despite its limitations – and of a second step taken by Sara Ahmed, an outline of a theory of emotions becomes possible, and brings into question the distinction between private and public life. Emotions act as motivations that accompany every instance of participation or for non-participation, be it because of apathy or of disengagement.

The Welfare State

It is not highly contentious to claim that the 2008 global economic crisis may be also understood as a failure of the welfare state in European countries. The rise of economic inequalities in Europe, as a major sequel of the 2008 economic crisis and the increase of migrant flows, has fostered and become a breeding ground for racial, religious, or ideological hatred in the western world. However, compared to previous periods in recent history when tensions arose, citizens can now channel their feelings, thoughts, and political ideals through the institutions of the state’s basic structure. Thus, citizens are having a say by channelling their claims through democratic means and different forms of political participation. One relevant articulation has been new expressions of radical populism, nativism, and far-right ideologies which have burst into the public sphere, at the local, regional, and European levels. This combination has turned the economic and refugee crisis into what is mainly a crisis of European politics.Published online: 31 October 2018

HTML is utilized widely in web information description and exhibition. Although new technologies continue appearing during the HTML history, the basic structure and principal of HTML remains the same and HTML is still an important part for tasks such as web development and even dynamic page exhibition. We currently have mainly two types of parsers for HTML, SAX and DOM. The problem is that, the former is driven by parsing events but can only access the nodes sequentially with a slow speed, and the latter should load the whole document into memory and will consume a lot of space. In order to solve such problem, we proposed an automatic batch extraction method for specific content of HTML based on tag locations. The extraction process can be divided to two main steps, the first step is locating the start and end positions of HTML tags, the second step is finding the desired content based on the location of tags and corresponding attribute information. The first step is the core of the whole process. An example of extraction of specific content of a search result page verifies the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm can be further used for advanced tasks such as data mining and knowledge base establishment.

Elastic Design

A mercury target vessel for the spallation neutron source at the J-PARC, which the mercury vessel was covered with the water shroud, was improved to realize the operation at the high beam power in two steps. In the first step to realize the stable operation at 500 kW, the basic structure of the initial design was followed and the connection method between the mercury vessel and the water shroud was changed to prevent the failure from the connection. The service operation at the beam power of 500 kW was realized in the about eight months. In the second step to realize the stable operation at 1 MW, the new structure which only rear ends of vessels were connected was investigated. The new structure which has the cooling of the mercury vessel to reduce thermal stress and the thick internal and external vessels of the water shroud to increase the stiffness for the internal pressure was adopted. The stresses in each vessel were lower than the allowable stress based on the elastic design criteria and it was confirmed that the operation with a beam power of 1 MW could be conducted.

Step Over

Four kinds of reconfigurable green hydraulic-mechanical compound force-amplifying systems with self-locking function are introduced in this paper. The systems are both formed by a rod-less hydraulic cylinder and a two-steps force-amplifying mechanism in which the first step force-amplifying mechanism is a toggle mechanism working in the position of over dead-center, a toggle or lever mechanism is adopted as the second step force-amplifying mechanism. The working principles and mechanical calculating formulas of the systems are given as well. The distinct advantage of these devices is that with the functions of force-amplifying and self-locking provided by the first-step over dead-center toggle, the size of the piston in rod-less hydraulic cylinder can be reduced obviously, at the same time a continuous force can be obtained through the force output component without hydraulic cylinder in working and any energy consuming, thus these systems have obvious advantages of saving-energy. In addition the results show that all these hydraulic-mechanical compound drive systems can be quickly reconfigured only by changing the second step force-amplifying mechanism, while the basic structure of cylinder assembly, piston assembly and the first step force-amplifying mechanism does not need to be changed. By this means the systems will get advantages such as low cost, high capability and flexibility, short empoldering period and man-hour in practice.

The Relationship

The article examines the relationship between ›literature‹ and ›politics‹; it focuses on medieval poetry that was produced in the context of partisanship and factional strife. Such texts, it is argued, must not be analysed in a purely ›literary‹ approach – nor in a purely historical one either. Instead, we should study these works from a double perspective which accounts for both their political functions and their artistic character – thus producing closer insights into the literary qualities as well as the historical significance of the respective texts. The article illustrates these general reflections by a close reading of several poems written by Rutebeuf (floruit ca. 1250–1280) in the context of the so-called Mendicant controversy at the University of Paris. It first discusses the short-comings of Michel-Marie Dufeil’s historico-biographical reading of the poems in question. In a second step, it argues that we cannot reasonably understand Rutebeuf’s polemics as a kind of ›autotelic‹ literary play (as proposed by Claudio Galderisi) either. Instead, the article tries to situate Rutebeuf’s poems in different echo chambers which dominate the public sphere of the 13th-century French kingdom – thus producing a fresh look on various intertextual references which have hitherto passed unnoticed.

The structural damage of molecules irradiated by electrons is generally considered to occur in two steps. The direct result of inelastic scattering events is the disruption of covalent bonds. Following changes in bond structure, movement of the constituent atoms produces permanent distortions of the molecules. Since at least the second step should show a strong temperature dependence, it was to be expected that cooling a specimen should extend its lifetime in the electron beam. This result has been found in a large number of experiments, but the degree to which cooling the specimen enhances its resistance to radiation damage has been found to vary widely with specimen types.
