In 1994, Llinares introduced mc-spaces and began to study KKM theoretic results on them. Since 1998, he became an L-space theorist and repeated to claim that his mc-spaces generalize G-convex spaces ...without any justifications. Later he insisted that his mc-spaces are the same as L-spaces. Hence his study on mc-spaces is
useless now as the L-space case shown by our previous works. The present article is a continuation of our previous works on L-spaces and concerns with the rise and fall of mc-spaces. This paper will be an important record for the history of the KKM theory.
Since 1996, Alexander Payne has made six feature films and a short segment of an omnibus movie. Although his body of work is quantitatively small, it is qualitatively impressive. His movies have ...garnered numerous accolades and awards, including two Academy Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay. As more than one interviewer in this volume points out, he maintains an impressive and unbroken winning streak. Payne's stories of human strivings and follies, alongside his mastery of the craft of filmmaking, mark him as a contemporary auteur of uncommon accomplishment.
In this first compilation of his interviews, Payne reveals himself as a captivating conversationalist as well. The discussions collected here range from 1996, shortly after the release of his first film,Citizen Ruth, to the debut ofNebraskaat the Cannes Film Festival in 2013. Over his career, he muses on many subjects including his own creative processes, his commitment to telling character-centered stories, and his abiding admiration for movies and directors from across decades of film history.
Critics describe Payne as one of the few contemporary filmmakers who consistently manages to buck the current trend toward bombastic blockbusters. Like the 1970s director-driven cinema that he cherishes, his films are small-scale character studies that manage to maintain a delicate balance between sharp satire and genuine poignancy.
Hanoi's Road to the Vietnam War opens in 1954 with the signing of the Geneva accords that ended the eight-year-long Franco-Indochinese War and created two Vietnams. In agreeing to the accords, Ho Chi ...Minh and other leaders of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam anticipated a new period of peace leading to national reunification under their rule; they never imagined that within a decade they would be engaged in an even bigger feud with the United States. Basing his work on new and largely inaccessible Vietnamese materials as well as French, British, Canadian, and American documents, Pierre Asselin explores the communist path to war. Specifically, he examines the internal debates and other elements that shaped Hanoi's revolutionary strategy in the decade preceding U.S. military intervention, and resulting domestic and foreign programs. Without exonerating Washington for its role in the advent of hostilities in 1965, Hanoi's Road to the Vietnam War demonstrates that those who directed the effort against the United States and its allies in Saigon were at least equally responsible for creating the circumstances that culminated in arguably the most tragic conflict of the Cold War era.
This article argues that Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette's La Femme qui fuit (2015) and Catherine Mavrikakis' La Ballade d'Ali Baba (2014) do important work in illustrating how the Cultural Studies notion of ..."mobility" applies to contemporary literature in Quebec. By analyzing physical, symbolic and affective representations of mobility and by reflecting on the polyphony of writing, I show how these writers pull readers into participating in acts of encounter with the other and otherness, which are critical to renewing our perceptions of literature.

In 2005, Ben-El-Mechaiekh, Chebbi, and Florenzano obtained a generalization of Ky Fan's 1984 KKM theorem on the intersection of a
family of closed sets on non-compact convex sets in a topological ...vector space. They also extended the Fan-Browder fixed point theorem
to multimaps on non-compact convex sets. Since then several groups of the L-space theorists introduced coercivity families and applied
them to L-spaces, H-spaces, etc. In this article, we show that better forms of such works can be deduced from a general KKM theorem
on abstract convex spaces in our previous works. Consequently, all of the known KKM theoretic results on L-spaces related coercivity
families are extended to corresponding better forms on abstract convex spaces.
This article is a continuation of our \cite{38} and a revised and extended version of \cite{34}.

Abstract
John Searle argues that (literary) fictions are constituted by mere pretense—by the simulation of representational activities like assertions, without any further representational aim. They ...are not the result of sui generis, dedicated speech acts of a specific kind, on a par with assertion. The view had earlier many defenders, and still has some. Stefano Predelli enlists considerations derived from Searle in support of his radical fictionalism. This is the view that a sentence of fictional discourse including a prima facie empty fictional name like “Emma Woodhouse” in fact “is not a sentence, and it encodes no proposition whatsoever.” His argument is broadly abductive; he claims that this view affords compelling explanations of features of fictions he finds well-established, among them that fictions without explicit narrators nonetheless have covert ones. Here I take up his arguments, in defense of the dedicated speech act view. I thus address pressing issues about the status of fictional names and the nature and ubiquity of narrators in fictions.
The book comprises an editor's overview (chapter 1) followed by fourteen chapters by 23 authors, mostly Indonesians, discussing respectively, developmentalism, macroeconomic management, fiscal ...decentralization, the financial system, trade policy, the manufacturing sector, the service sector, infrastructure, education, the labor market, poverty reduction, social protection, food policy, and environmental policy. Overall, it offers a multifaceted understanding of Indonesia's current economic position, particularly because most authors compare the country's performance under Jokowi with that under preceding administrations, and with that of peer countries in Asia.
