Authors: Wu Chaoqun , Wen Jianyu , Zhang Jinliang , Song Bo , Shi Yusheng 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The capability for synergistic advancements in both making and shaping afforded by additive manufacturing (AM) enables the flexible production of high-performance components. Boosted by the growing demand for heat-resistant aluminum alloys in the moderate-temperature weight-critical applications, AM of heat-resistant aluminum alloys constitutes a burgeoning field. Although numerous advances have emerged in recent years, there remains a gap in the review literature elucidating the newly-developed alloy systems and critically evaluating the efficacy. This state-of-the-art review presents a detailed overview of recent achievements on the heat-resistant aluminum alloy development. It begins with the introduction of various AM technologies and the pros and cons of each technique are evaluated. The enhancement mechanisms associated with printability and high-temperature properties of AM aluminum alloys are then delineated. Thereafter, the various additively manufactured aluminum alloy systems are discussed with regard to the microstructure, heat resistance and high-temperature performance. An emphasis is put on the powder bed fusion-laser beam (PBF-LB) as it has garnered significant attention for heat-resistant aluminum alloys and the vast majority of the current studies are based on this technique. Finally, perspectives are outlined to provide guidance for future research.
Assessing non-nested configurations of multifidelity machine learning for quantum-chemical properties
Authors: Vinod Vivin , Zaspel Peter 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Multifidelity machine learning (MFML) for quantum chemical properties has seen strong development in the recent years. The method has been shown to reduce the cost of generating training data for high-accuracy low-cost ML models. In such a set-up, the ML models are trained on molecular geometries and some property of interest computed at various computational chemistry accuracies, or fidelities. These are then combined in training the MFML models. In some multifidelity models, the training data is required to be nested, that is the same molecular geometries are included to calculate the property across all the fidelities. In these multifidelity models, the requirement of a nested configuration restricts the kind of sampling that can be performed while selection training samples at different fidelities. This work assesses the use of non-nested training data for two of these multifidelity methods, namely MFML and optimized MFML (o-MFML). The assessment is carried out for the prediction of ground state energies and first vertical excitation energies of a diverse collection of molecules of the CheMFi dataset. Results indicate that the MFML method still requires a nested structure of training data across the fidelities. However, the o-MFML method shows promising results for non-nested multifidelity training data with model errors comparable to the nested configurations.
Watt’s fair in Mumbai: intermediaries’ impact on energy justice in informal settlements
Authors: Peddibhotla Ananya , Haldar Stuti , Bazaz Amir 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
India’s ongoing energy transitions are a systemic response to addressing critical challenges associated with climate change. Importantly, it leverages decarbonization as a strategic pivot to simultaneously mitigate and adapt to climate risks. The decarbonization agenda is largely skewed towards mitigation, struggling with adaptation alignments. Energy justice is a core dimension of adaptation intervention and it is important to explore how energy justice is or can be conceptualized and delivered as the decarbonization agenda is underway. Existing research suggests that, in the cities of the Global South, active involvement of intermediaries becomes a pivotal anchor and pathway to access infrastructure services, especially in low-income and informal settlements. Importantly, advocacy efforts by intermediaries also tackle existing injustices that restrict these settlements from accessing essential infrastructure services. Intermediaries become especially important in cities like Mumbai, where 41% of the people live in informal settlements (slums). Using Mumbai as a case study, this paper explores two questions in the context of intermediaries, energy access, and energy justice. First, how do intermediaries engage with infrastructure and governance structures to enable access to electricity in informal settlements? Second, does this ‘intermediation’ deliver just outcomes? Empirical fieldwork reveals that intermediaries serve as a quasi-political counterbalance by engaging in ‘politics from the bottom’ to articulate justice concerns, mobilize stakeholders, and produce knowledge that feeds back into the intermediation process. We argue that this is important if we need to ensure that energy transitions do not create systemic inequities and that the benefits of the ongoing transition are widespread and just.
Introduction—(Re)defining Membership? Current and Future Perspectives for EU Differentiated Integration
Authors: Fromage Diane 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter sets the background and the analytical framework for this edited volume, which aims at: (a) (re)defining membership in today’s EU and (b) at drawing a balance on the state of differentiated integration, while examining how it could and should continue to evolve in the future. Indeed, while EU membership could, at first sight, appear to be a straightforward concept to defined (art. 2 Treaty on Europpean Union), a closer examination reveals a myriad of nuances. Some EU states do not (fully) participate in all EU policies, while non-EU states sometimes participate in (some) EU policies indeed. Therefore, both internal and external differentiation exists within the EU and in its relationship to third states. Based on the analyses presented by the various contributors to this edited volume, it is posited that EU membership, though possibly a fuzzy concept if considered from a non-strictly legal perspective, still clearly differentiates Member States from third states. It is, however, contended that the EU may need to distinguish between full and associate members in the future, especially if new states join in the near future.
EU Norm Diffusion to Switzerland: EU Policies À la carte and Integration in Pieces?
Authors: Ott Andrea , Pirker Benedikt 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Next to the European Economic Area (EEA) countries, Switzerland is involved in the closest form of ‘integration without accession’ of any EU non-member. This contribution explores a unique example of piecemeal integration whose design has come under increased pressure from the EU and Swiss sides, but for different reasons. The EU sets more and more conditions to enable third-country integration into EU policies and especially the internal market. Switzerland, in turn, expects more flexibility from the EU side with the Swiss conditions of cooperation. These perspectives will be analyzed against the backdrop of the EU’s norm diffusion to Switzerland.
Sex and the Ancient City
Authors: McClure Laura 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter turns to the historical context in which hetaeras lived and worked, examining the traces of historical hetaeras in contemporary fifth- and fourth-century sources, such as comedy and oratory, material evidence such as inscriptions and archaeological assemblages and structures, and the historical writings of Herodotus, Thucydides, and Xenophon. The likelihood that a hetaera actually existed increases with the number of cross-references to her presence in a variety of sources, particularly in material evidence such as inscriptions, as persons familiar to male jurors and spectators in oratory and comedy, as interlocutors in Socratic dialogues, and their association with specific events and individuals. This chapter argues that by drawing parallels between what we know of Phryne and these contemporary sources, it is possible to imagine her as a historical figure, not just a literary invention. It begins with a look at the mythic origins of prostitution and its link to Athens’ emergent democracy and the worship of Aphrodite. It then considers the spaces in which hetaeras and sexual laborers moved and intersected with their clients, including brothels and private residences, and their spatial mobility as migrants and metics. The economic aspects of commercial sex are then explored, including pricing, taxation, and the potential for social mobility, independence, and wealth as predominantly women-owned businesses. The chapter concludes with a discussion of a few historical hetaeras from the fifth and fourth centuries as a way of framing and constructing Phryne’s biography.
The Prosecution of Phryne
Authors: McClure Laura 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter considers the most important strand of Phryne’s biography, her notorious impiety trial and her instant acquittal brought about by the spectacle of her naked body as represented by Athenaeus. This memorable event introduces and frames the subject of her public nudity at the Eleusinia and Posidonia, as the inspiration for Apelles’ Anadyomene and Praxiteles’ Cnidian Aphrodite, and her dedication of the Eros at Thespiae. Athenaeus’ framework indicates how the fourth-century narrative of Phryne’s trial, probably the most reliable strand of her biography, gradually became closely intertwined with her artistic receptions not only in antiquity but also in the post-classical period as explored in the introduction. According to ancient accounts, the charges were brought against Phryne by a former lover, the orator Euthias, while her current lover, the orator Hyperides, came to her rescue and defended her. The two speeches, defense and prosecution, were well known in antiquity and preserved into the Byzantine period. This chapter argues first for the historical authenticity of the trial by examining parallels of litigation involving women in forensic oratory, the legal meaning of asebeia, and examples of this type of trial, mostly famously that of Socrates, and the cultural mindset of suspicion that fostered this type of allegation during the fourth century. New forms of worship, whether informal thiasoi, bands of worshippers that sang and danced in honor of traditional gods, or foreign ecstatic cults, many associated with women, may have motivated the charges against Phryne. By situating the disrobing within fourth-century Athenian legal and religious practices together with a close reading of Athenaeus’ language, the chapter shows that the disrobing had multiple cultural associations from the late classical to Second Sophistic period, suggesting its original intent was not erotic but rather a form of emotional appeal intended to elicit sympathy in the jurors.
Misaligned America
Authors: Stephanopoulos Nicholas O 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter summarizes what’s known about alignment in contemporary American politics. The news isn’t good. Misalignment is widespread with respect to each major governmental output: officeholders’ partisanship, officeholders’ representation, and policy outcomes themselves. Pervasive misalignment is also evident whether all people’s views are taken into account or just those of the median individual. And misalignment persists at every governmental level: in congressional and state legislative districts as well as in jurisdictions spanning municipalities, states, and the federal government as a whole. Once upon a time, de Tocqueville could write about democracy in America. Today, a more apt moniker would be misalignment in America.
The Society of (Economic) Equals
Authors: Néron Pierre-Yves 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter aims to articulate the relational case for workplace democracy. It lays out its main normative intuition concerning how our main economic institutions actually function, that is, that the pervasiveness of certain logics of hierarchies and subordination in our corporate societies represents a genuine threat to the ideal of society of equals. From a relational point of view, what is so unique about the contemporary business firm is its capacity to easily make a mockery of democratic equality and to make relations of hierarchy, subordination, and inferiority predominate in the lives of large number of citizens. It is the corporate embodiment of the conservative aesthetics of inequality, without any democratic counterresponse. Facing such a machine at enhancing social hierarchies, the goal of a relational conception of workplace democracy should be to give us tools to articulate a critique of these patterns and the contours of a more democratic response.
What Do Bosses Get?
Authors: Néron Pierre-Yves 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This chapter deals with issues related to the rise of executive compensation and the ever-increasing gap between executives’ and workers’ pay. It first proposes a typology of the various objections to high executive compensation, and then aims to articulate the most serious version of the egalitarian objection to it. It argues that the best way to think about inequality in pay is not through the lens of (in)efficiency or even through the lens of distributive unfairness, but through the lens of class analysis. In itself, the spectacular rise of executive compensation since the 1970s represents one of the key components of our neoliberal regime of inequality, and many of the arguments, discourses, rhetorics, and imaginaries encountered in this book significantly participated to it. Therefore, studying executive compensation does not simply mean studying an “applied object” among others, it represents a deep dive into our neoliberal condition and its social imaginaries.
Keepers of the Common Good
Authors: Galligan D J 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
A study of constitutional authority from the perspective of the people, the method social enquiry, the object social understanding. How the people assess the constitutional order; a discourse emerges, a lower register; contrast with another discourse, the upper register embedded in official presentation of constitutional authority. From history and experience the two registers are drawn. The constitutional field is entered and examined to show relations between the discourses. Several models of rule, of constitutional authority, are proposed, based on patterns of opinion of the people; the advantages and disadvantages of each are assessed from the point of view of the people. A fourth model, the people as keepers of the common good, is proposed, the appeal explained, and the evidence assembled.
Hume’s Philosophical Eye
Authors: Galligan D J 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
David Hume's idea was that constitutional authority depends on the opinion of the people. Opinion is guided by the concern for social goods, of which justice is foundational, permeating social relations of many kinds. The need for the power of the state to coordinate social relations and collective action to achieve common ends is examined. The chapter concludes by noting that historical authority brings rights. A system of authority, once established and publicly recognized, gives rise to a social convention to accept and comply. The concept of a social sphere is introduced to enrich the account. Social spheres shape opinion, set standards, and hold out sanctions.
Rule by Representatives Re-presented
Authors: Galligan D J 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Chapter XIV examines rule by representative rule. Leaders have power to govern but remain accountable to voters. Two models: the agency approach, where people elect agents to act for them, and the substitution approach, where representatives act in place of the people. A practical model of representative governance, emphasizing elected leaders’ responsibilities to the electors. The origins of rule by representatives are uncovered, one stemming from princely rule, the other from the people ruling themselves. The case is presented for a deeper connection between elected officials and constituents, suggesting a shift towards a more engaged form of governance where the electorate actively monitors and influences their representatives.
Domestic violence and servile vulnerability in the House of the Vettii, Pompeii
Authors: Levin-Richardson Sarah 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
This article explores the susceptibility of enslaved household members to physical and sexual violence, using the House of the Vettii at Pompeii as a case study. It first re-examines the house’s material evidence (including frescoes of cupids and psyches performing manual labour and statuettes of children with bound hands) to highlight previously overlooked similarities with the real tasks and punishments that enslaved children and adults might have faced. To give a vivid sense of the physical and affective dimensions of violence in this house, the article then offers an archive-based short story (using critical fabulation, a methodology developed by Saidiya Hartman to study trans-Atlantic slavery) about a real enslaved woman named Eutychis, whom graffiti record as a prostituted homeborn slave (verna). Ultimately, the article illuminates both the acute and long-lasting forms of violence that enslaved individuals encountered on a regular basis.
Leveraging independence in high-dimensional mixed linear regression
Authors: Wang Ning , Deng Kai , Mai Qing , Zhang Xin 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
We address the challenge of estimating regression coefficients and selecting relevant predictors in the context of mixed linear regression in high dimensions, where the number of predictors greatly exceeds the sample size. Recent advancements in this field have centered on incorporating sparsity-inducing penalties into the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, which seeks to maximize the conditional likelihood of the response given the predictors. However, existing procedures often treat predictors as fixed or overlook their inherent variability. In this paper, we leverage the independence between the predictor and the latent indicator variable of mixtures to facilitate efficient computation and also achieve synergistic variable selection across all mixture components. We establish the non-asymptotic convergence rate of the proposed fast group-penalized EM estimator to the true regression parameters. The effectiveness of our method is demonstrated through extensive simulations and an application to the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia dataset for the prediction of anticancer drug sensitivity.
On the Way to Be(Coming) a Social Worker: Phenomenological Reflections by Social Work Students on Their Final Year as a Site of Professional Identity Exploration
Authors: Malka Menny 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In the field of social work research and practice, considerable focus has been placed on the preparedness of students as they transition from being students to becoming professionals. However, insufficient attention has been paid to the processes that occur during the final academic year of their training—a critical transition period that requires a deeper examination. Using a qualitative approach, the study examined the phenomenological perspectives of twenty-nine social work students at an Israeli university during the final academic year of their bachelor’s degree, employing the photovoice methodology. Content analysis of the results identified four key characteristics of the final academic year: (1) the liminal-transitional nature of identity work during the final year; (2) separation from the student identity; (3) the doorknob effect; and (4) entering the professional shoes. The research results are discussed and conceptualised within the framework of the theory of liminality, highlighting its relevance to understanding the transition processes that characterise professional identity work. Additionally, the study explores the implications of liminality in preparing students for entering the job market, particularly considering the distinction between being a professional and becoming a professional.

Abstract
Functional dysregulations in multiple regions are caused by excessive copper deposition in the brain in Wilson disease (WD) patients. The genetic mechanism of WD is thought to involve the abnormal expression of ATP7B in the liver, whereas the biological and molecular processes involved in functional dysregulation within the brain remain unexplored. The objective of this study was to unravel the underpinnings of functional gradient perturbations underlying structural lesions and transcriptomic specializations in WD. In this study, we included 105 WD patients and 93 healthy controls who underwent structural and functional MRI assessments. We used the diffusion mapping embedding model to derive the functional connectome gradient and further employed gray matter volume to uncover structure–function decoupling for WD. Then, we used Neurosynth, clinical data, and whole-brain gene expression data to examine the meta-analytic cognitive function, clinical phenotypes, and transcriptomic specializations related to WD gradient alterations. Compared with controls, WD patients exhibited global topographic changes in the principal pramary-to-transmodal gradient. Meta-analytic terms and clinical characteristics were correlated with these gradient alterations in motor-related processing, higher-order cognition, neurological symptoms, and age. Spatial correlations revealed structure–function decoupling in multiple networks, especially in subcortical and visual networks. Within the cortex, the spatial association between gradient alterations and gene expression profiles has revealed transcriptomic specilizations in WD that display properties indicative of ion homeostasis, neural development, and motor control. Furthermore, for the first time, we characterized the role of the ATP7B gene in impacting subcortical function. The transcriptomic specializations of WD were also associated with other neurological and psychiatric disorders. Finally, we revealed that structural lesions and gradient perturbations may share similar transcriptomic specializations in WD. In conclusion, these findings bridged functional gradient perturbations to structural lesions and gene expression profiles in WD patients, possibly promoting our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the emergence of complex neurological and psychiatric phenotypes.
