This article provides an analysis of the perception of fear in nightlife spaces, its relationship with sexual violence and the strategies that young people implement to combat these situations in two provinces of Andalusia (Seville and Granada), Spain. To this end, qualitative research was carried out through in-depth interviews and discussion groups with 73 boys and girls between the ages of 16 and 22. The article asserts that there are gender differences in the spaces of fear. Girls are the ones who experience fear the most when they walk alone, and at specific times - a feeling that is made worse in specific public spaces. The study results show that girls' fear is associated with sexual assault and boys' fear with robberies or fights. Results show that three main types of strategies are used in the face of these fears: avoidance, confronting risks and empowerment. All these strategies include the use of new communication technologies. This article seeks to provide a theoretical contribution to enhancing a gender perspective in the field of urban geography.

Following Frank Kermode's distinction, in The Sense of an Ending, between the stability of myth and the changeability of fiction, Keats's 'Ode on Indolence' offers an understated self-conscious presentation of myth and fiction in comparison with the Nightingale and Grecian Urn odes. All three of these odes invest in mythologies as much as they remain alert to their own poetic frames and the fictive nature of the fictions behind them. This poetic self-awareness reconnects Keats's odes with the reality of death behind the mythic figures of nightingale, urn, and indolence. Such subtle, shifting, self-awareness is also the hallmark of Keats's 'To Autumn' and the poetic legacy it bestows to Wallace Stevens's 'Sunday Morning', 'Autumn Refrain', and 'The Woman in Sunshine'.

This article analyses the central themes in the works of Claudio Magris through a critical reading of Danube, A Different Sea, Microcosms, Utopia e disincanto [Utopia and disenchantment], Blindly, Journeying, and Alfabeti [Alphabets]. Magris's work, be it his fiction or essays, abounds with descriptions and narrations of spaces and places, which become central to his world-view as an author. These spaces and places, located primarily in Central Europe and in the surroundings of his own city, Trieste, inspired his turn to Eastern Europe, including the Slavic countries. Conscious of the Western Europeans' often condescending view of the East, Magris became a vocal critic of Western Eurocentrism, which he attributed to their insufficient familiarity with the cultures and histories of their Eastern neighbours. Magris's primary interest has always been Europe's ethnic and cultural coexistence, with a particular affinity with dissident, nationless, and exiled literary figures, in line with his notion of hybrid, fluid, and multiple identities. The works of Magris offer compelling reflections on a Europe viewed through the contradictory encounters between East and West. As such they have contributed to the gradual creation of hybrid identities, which, through their historical palimpsests, have become part of a broader cultural geography.

This study examines what undergraduate students say they learn about engaging with difference and across cultures in the Michigan Union and the Trotter Multicultural Center at the University of Michigan, a historically white institution. The University of Michigan is a historically white institution because of its majority of white students, long-preserved values of eliteness and prestige, and history of racial inequity. This research is a constructivist, triangulated multiple case study (Bhattacharya, 2017) with the college union and multicultural center as the two cases. Information-rich maximum variation sampling (Patton, 1990) was used to inform participant recruitment. Using Strange and Banning’s (2001, 2015) four component model of the campus environment and Pope et al.’s (2004, 2009) multicultural competence model, this study describes how co-curricular environments shape and influence student learning. Multiple semi-structured interviews were employed, including an education journey mapping exercise (Annamma, 2017) between participants and the researcher. Key findings emerged from this research about the Michigan Union, the Trotter Multicultural Center, commonalities across the two cases, and participant patterns. The Michigan Union data categories were: (1) Core to the University; (2) Connecting with Others; and (3) Learning with Others. The data categories from the Trotter Multicultural Center were: (1) A Central Meeting Place; (2) A Space Where You Can Be Yourself; and (3) Interactions with Difference. The four commonalities across the two cases of the Michigan Union and Trotter Multicultural Center were: (1) The spaces were Birthed for Different Reasons, But They are Both Unionizing spaces; (2) The Dominant Features Represent the People Who Inhabit Them; (3) Both Centrally Located, But Not Equitable in Size; and (4) Students’ Range of Emotions About Both Buildings. Lastly, four patterns across the study’s participants included: (1) Black, Indigenous, and

This article examines how spaces of fandom in the English Premier League (EPL) have developed over the last decade in light of globalization processes and technological advancements. This conceptual paper thus utilizes the existing literature and frames these insights to outline emerging 'offline' and 'online' spaces of fandom in the English football's top-tier. It is argued that these under-explored spaces have been enacted by broader, powerful processes and the two spaces - the fan zone ('offline' space) and the independent Fan TV ('online') do now comprise two important spaces that add vibrancy, meaning and socio-cultural elements to the practice of 'being' a fan. Crucially, the article ties into and extend current debates around the technology-fandom pair. It sustains that, in order to understand contemporary fan culture in the EPL, these spaces must, increasingly, be considered as sites for collective and individual identification, the performance of fandom and social interaction.

For an inductive system of metric spaces that are coarsely embeddable into Hilbert spaces, its directed limit in the category of metric spaces may not admit a coarse embedding into a Hilbert space. In this article, we will show that the corresponding directed limit in the category of coarse spaces (with morphisms being bornologous maps) is always coarsely embeddable into a Hilbert space.(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V.

This paper draws upon quantitative data collected from one of the principal associations fighting Islamophobia in France along with the population census, and provides a step forward in understanding the operation and distribution of Islamophobia. It presents a geography of Islamophobia in Paris based on statistical data, and aims to observe whether or not this geography corresponds or contrasts with geographies of inequality (such as those associated with gentrification, deprivation and marginalisation), by analysing the various spatial patterns stemming from the maps. This socio-spatial analysis of anti-Muslim discrimination is important in Paris because since the terrorist attacks in 2015, anti-Muslim sentiment has increased sharply. The mapping of Islamophobia and its association with the spatial distribution of different socioeconomic and demographic variables synthetized in a typological map display significant forms, relations and diversities within Paris. This cartographic analysis demonstrates that the geography of Islamophobia does not necessarily refer to spaces where 'Muslims' and the victims of Islamophobia live in great majority, and rather refers to more privileged and central areas such as Paris intra-muros. Victims mostly experience anti-Muslim incidents outside their everyday spaces away from their homes, such as public institutions and workplaces. Indeed, the findings raise the significance of the exact place where incidents occur as well as societal attitudes to these 'hierarchical' places where the perpetrator probably feels more comfortable in behaving in an antisocial and sometimes violent way.

We investigate non-adaptive methods of deep ReLU neural network approximation in Bochner spaces L2(U & INFIN;, X, & mu;) of functions on U & INFIN;taking values in a separable Hilbert space X, where U & INFIN;is either R & INFIN;equipped with the standard Gaussian probability measure, or [-1, 1]& INFIN;equipped with the Jacobi probability measure. Functions to be approximated are assumed to satisfy a certain weighted ⠂2-summability of the generalized chaos polynomial expansion coefficients with respect to the measure & mu;. We prove the convergence rate of this approximation in terms of the size of approximating deep ReLU neural networks. These results then are applied to approximation of the solution to parametric elliptic PDEs with random inputs for the lognormal and affine cases.& COPY;2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
