Slovenijo so jeseni ...1990 prizadele katastrofalne poplave. Najhuje je bilo v Zgornji Savinjski dolini v naselju Luče. Področje je bilo nekaj dni zaradi zemeljskega plazu in poplav odrezano od sveta. Prizorišče nesreče si je ogledal tudi predsednik slovenske vlade Lojze Peterle. V prispevku še izjavi zdravnika Antona Žunterja in tajnika krajevne skupnosti Jerneja Plankla.
In the autumn of 1990, Slovenia was affected by catastrophic floods. The worst affected region was that of Zgornja Savinjska dolina and the village of Luče. The area had been cut off from the rest of the world for a few days due to landslides and flooding. Lojze Peterle, the Slovenian Prime Minister at that time, visited the flooded area. The clip includes statements from the GP Anton Žunter and Jernej Plankl, the secretary of the local community.- Information:- The consequences of the catastrophic floods in Zgornja Savinjska dolina.- Original language summary:

Publishing tycoon Henry Luce famously championed many conservative causes, and his views as a capitalist and cold warrior were reflected in his glossy publications. Republican Luce aimed squarely for ...the Middle American masses, yet his magazines attracted intellectually and politically ambitious minds who were moved by the democratic aspirations of the New Deal and the left. Much of the best work of intellectuals such as James Agee, Archibald MacLeish, Daniel Bell, John Hersey, and Walker Evans owes a great debt to their experiences writing for Luce and his publications.Intellectuals Incorporatedtells the story of the serious writers and artists who worked for Henry Luce and his magazinesTime,Fortune, andLifebetween 1923 and 1960, the period when the relationship between intellectuals, the culture industry, and corporate capitalism assumed its modern form. Countering the notions that working for corporations means selling out and that the true life of the mind must be free from institutional ties, historian Robert Vanderlan explains how being embedded in the corporate culture industries was vital to the creative efforts of mid-century thinkers. Illuminating their struggles through careful research and biographical vignettes, Vanderlan shows how their contributions to literary journalism and the wider political culture would have been impossible outside Luce's media empire. By paying attention to how these writers and photographers balanced intellectual aspiration with journalistic perspiration,Intellectuals Incorporatedadvances the idea of the intellectual as a connected public figure who can engage and criticize organizations from within.
The Tsetlin library is a well-studied Markov chain on the symmetric group Sn. It has stationary distribution π(σ) the Luce model, a nonuniform distribution on Sn, which appears in psychology, horse ...race betting, and tournament poker. Simple enumerative questions, such as “what is the distribution of the top k cards?” or “what is the distribution of the bottom k cards?” are long open. We settle these questions and draw attention to a host of parallel questions on the extension to the chambers of a hyperplane arrangement.

Forever Fluid is the first English commentary on Luce Irigaray's important text, Elemental Passions. It provides a lively alternative to the binary logic that runs through western culture, showing ...how sexual difference enables appreciation of difference of all kinds
Despite the recent rise in studies that approach fascism as a transnational phenomenon, the links between fascism and internationalist intellectual currents have only received scant attention. This ...book explores the political thought of Bertrand de Jouvenel and Alfred Fabre-Luce, two French intellectuals, journalists and political writers who, from 1930 to the mid-1950s, moved between liberalism, fascism and Europeanism. Daniel Knegt argues that their longing for a united Europe was the driving force behind this ideological transformation-and that we can see in their thought the earliest stages of what would become neoliberalism.

Francesco Venezia laconically describes the project for the double hypogeum of Caserta Cathedral. The architect guides us along a path of descent and ascent accompanied by the rhythm of shadow, light ...and penumbra.
The Plackett‐Luce model (PL) for ranked data assumes the forward order of the ranking process. This hypothesis postulates that the ranking process of the items is carried out by sequentially ...assigning the positions from the top (most liked) to the bottom (least liked) alternative. This assumption has been recently relaxed with the Extended Plackett‐Luce model (EPL) through the introduction of the discrete reference order parameter, describing the rank attribution path. By starting from two formal properties of the EPL, the former related to the inverse ordering of the item probabilities at the first and last stage of the ranking process and the latter well‐known as independence of irrelevant alternatives (or Luce's choice axiom), we derive novel diagnostic tools for testing the appropriateness of the EPL assumption as the actual sampling distribution of the observed rankings. These diagnostic tools can help uncovering possible idiosyncratic paths in the sequential choice process. Besides contributing to fill the gap of goodness‐of‐fit methods for the family of multistage models, we also show how one of the two statistics can be conveniently exploited to construct a heuristic method, that surrogates the maximum likelihood approach for inferring the underlying reference order parameter. The relative performance of the proposals, compared with more conventional approaches, is illustrated by means of extensive simulation studies.
Starting from the figure of Étienne-Louis Boullée we try to face a new reading of the Seven Sacred Spaces by Simon Ungers. Through the association of seven types of sacred spaces we determine the ...binomials that link the idea of sacred space, developed by Ungers, and the ability of buildings, like poetry, to awaken our senses that, for Boullée, leads architecture - as art - towards the sublime.
Eugénie Luce was a French schoolteacher who fled her husband and abandoned her family, migrating to Algeria in the early 1830s. By the mid-1840s she had become a major figure in debates around ...educational policies, insisting that women were a critical dimension of the French effort to effect a fusion of the races. To aid this fusion, she founded the first French school for Muslim girls in Algiers in 1845, which thrived until authorities cut off her funding in 1861. At this point, she switched from teaching spelling, grammar, and sewing, to embroidery-an endeavor that attracted the attention of prominent British feminists and gave her school a celebrated reputation for generations.
The portrait of this remarkable woman reveals the role of women and girls in the imperial projects of the time and sheds light on why they have disappeared from the historical record since then.
