Debating Homo Academicus: A Maieutic Quest for Self-Reflexivity
Authors: Ericsson Daniel , Cinque Silvia 
Published: September 2024

AbstractIn this introductory chapter, a debate is instigated about the different ontological assumptions that scholars in the fields of management and organization make about themselves, and the consequences and implications these assumptions have in practice. In this regard, the debate is positioned in relation to one of the major conversation topics within the fields of management and organization: self-fulfilling prophecies, i.e., the phenomena in which unsubstantiated, unethical, or dysfunctional assumptions about humans can lead to adverse practical consequences. In contrast to the dominating debating tradition in academia—the eristic struggle to defeat the opponent, not for the sake of good arguments, but for the sake of the victory in itself (as sarcastically outlined by Arthur Schopenhauer)—the instigated debate follows Socrates’ somewhat forgotten maieutic tradition in which debates are seen as vehicles for advancing the speaking partner’s arguments. The eleven contributions presented in this book are therefore presented as posts in an ongoing conversation through which discursive positions on the subject are made visible, reflected upon, and (possibly could be) altered. They form a collage of ontological assumptions and practical consequences to promote self-reflexivity in a quest-like manner. It is argued that this collage entails two superimposed debates. On the one hand, a debate about the extent to which scholars in the fields of management and organization are assumed to be—and should be—independent of social pressures, normative expectations, conventions, and institutional logics; on the other hand, a debate about the extent to which scholars in the fields of management and organization are assumed to speak—and should speak—from a position endowed with obligations and privileges. Through the different ways in which the book’s contributors tackle these interrelated issues, three more or less distinct argumentative themes and ontological assumptions emerge: Homo moralis, Homo reflectivus, and Homo mutatus. These themes form the narrative structure of the book but in themselves represent heuristic devices to even further stimulate a self-reflexive debate on Homo academicus within the fields of management and organization.
Living as an Academic-Cum-Something-Else: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Academia
Authors: Mazza Carmelo 
Published: September 2024

AbstractExtant literature tends to see Homo academicus as a full-time, increasingly stressful, position as new emerging challenges in the managerialized high education field seem to distance from the authentic academic behaviors and attitudes (Mazza, C., & Quattrone, P. (2018). Living in a world of foam: Global ideas, bubbles, and the fairy tale of business education. In M. Izak, M. Kostera & M. Zawadzki (Eds.), The future of university education. Palgrave-MacMillan, (pp. 111–121). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-46,894-5_1; Parker, Pluto Press, 2018). Building on my personal experience combining academic job with consulting and managerial roles, I discuss whether a multiplicity of belongings crossing academia and other fields, the position I called “academic-cum-something else”, is a viable solution for this stress or just a limbo excluding from each of the belongings.I adopted an autobiographic style, reporting self-reflexive, post-hoc rationalizations of events. The autobiographic genre allowed me to report my observations about Homo academicus at the same time as an insider and as an outsider, critically assess constraints and habits. Therefore, the experience I described in this chapter is ambivalent. It includes the reflections on the academic life by somebody who had the illusio of academic field but also invested in the value of membership of other fields, such as consulting and management.This ambivalence may help shedding light on controversial aspects of what the life of a Homo academicus meant to be and, more in general, on the extent to which roles and trajectories in different fields could coincide in a single life. It results in the paradox that by staying in the limbo across different fields, I can feel the enchantment of the illusio of the different fields but, reflexively, I could doubt the real value of the stakes of their memberships (Bourdieu, Pascalian meditations, Stanford University Press, 2000), thus experiencing disenchantment. This paradox leads to further reflections on how the Homo academicus should change to cope with the challenges that today’s societal context poses on the higher education field.
The Contribution of Norbert Elias’s Theoretical-Empirical Framework to the Sociology of Childhood: Some Tensions and Research Experiences
Authors: Ferreira Valéria Milena Röhrich 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis chapter discusses how some theoretical-methodological dilemmas regarding the sociology of childhood can be resolved by studies that use the Eliasian framework. These studies research the influence of spatial dimensions—especially the neighbourhood and city spaces—in children’s chains of interdependence. The following tensions will be analyzed: the dichotomies between individual-society and action-structure; the interdisciplinarity between psychology, sociology, history and biology; children and their intra and intergenerational relations of interdependence; new family compositions and relationships between the local and global. Finally, I will discuss how Elias’s theoretical-empirical approach is highly suitable for the study of the spatial dimension of children’s lives in contemporary society.
Upper Secondary School as an Innovative Health Laboratory: A Process Study About Exercise, Sport and Democracy in a Youth Culture
Authors: Frydendal Stine , Thing Lone Friis 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis chapter is a discussion of process-oriented methodology as a way of studying health promotion among young people in a Danish school setting. We will discuss this by presenting how we have applied process sociology in a health promotion intervention initiated by a Danish upper secondary school from 2010 to 2014, in which we explored the development process based on a democratic, participatory approach to health promotion. We applied Elias’s conceptualization of civilizing processes, focusing especially on the notions of figuration, interdependencies and power, to analyse the figuration of the school in a health promotion context on a macro level. Elias’s notion of the balance between I-, We- and They-identities as well as the distinction between established and outsider groups was also employed as a way to understand the power struggle between individuals and groups within the figuration on a micro level.
Sociology of Early Childhood: Why We Need Child Psychoanalysis
Authors: Gabriel Norman 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis chapter will argue that sociologists investigating early childhood need to develop a relational approach that is multi-disciplinary, making important connections with other related disciplines, particularly child psychoanalysis. Although it is well known that Elias was influenced by Sigmund Freud, there are some important psychoanalytic concepts and theories that Elias uses and incorporates into his analysis that have not yet been fully explored for their influence on his approach to childhood—for example, Wilhelm Reich’s concept of ‘armour’. Moreover, I will argue that there are other related approaches in child psychoanalysis such as Anna Freud’s concept of developmental lines that can be integrated with Elias’s perspective to explain young children’s development.
Early Childhood Education in Brazil: Interdependent Relationships Between Young children and Adults
Authors: Sarat Magda , Ferreira Eliana Maria , Dantes Claudemir 
Published: September 2024

AbstractChildren’s education constitutes itself over an historical process, an important phenomenon to be discussed socially, culturally and politically, mobilizing research in diverse fields of knowledge. We have located ourselves in the debate about children’s education which in Brazil is carried on as the first step of basic education for children under five. This chapter discusses the relations between different social figurations overlaid in the institutionalizing process of childhood in Brazil, dealing with the child’s education at public institutions, kindergartens and preschools. We establish a dialogue with Norbert Elias’s figurational theory, more specifically with his concepts of figuration and power (Elias, Introdução à Sociologia. Edições 70, 2008; Sobre os seres humanos e suas emoções: um ensaio sob a perspectiva da sociologia dos processos. In A. Gebara & C. Wouters (Eds.), O controle das emoções. Editora Universitária da UFPB, 2009). Making use of methodologies and diverse sources, we focus on aspects of the relation between adults (professionals of educational institutions), children and families. The investigations were developed in the city of Dourados, in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, a region in the Brazilian Mid-West.
Bringing Norbert Elias to School: Education and the Civilising Process
Authors: Gilliam Laura , Gulløv Eva 
Published: September 2024

AbstractIn this chapter, we will argue that an Eliasian figurational approach can enhance our knowledge of schooling, while a detailed study of everyday life in schools brings new insights into civilising processes in welfare state societies. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Danish schools, we show how seeing schools and school classes as social figurations akin to Elias’s court society illuminates how children’s habitus is not just moulded by teachers’ inculcation of the right behaviour. They are also shaped by children’s negotiations of relationships, conduct and status in the intense social theatre of the classroom, as well as by their chains of interdependence outside school, to parents, policy makers and the state. Furthermore, the fact that today’s civilising of children in welfare societies takes place in schools and in families that are closely dependent on these institutions means that the ‘institutional sociality’ that children learn in school has a great impact on the norms and conduct in wider society.
Changes in Play and Playgrounds Within Recent Informalising and Reformalising Cycles of Parent-Child Relationships (1950–2020)
Authors: Sánchez-García Raúl 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis chapter analyses the recent development of the free/supervised play balance in children and in the design of playgrounds within the parent-child relationship in Western countries from a figurational perspective. It aims to further Norbert Elias’s analyses on the civilising of parents by introducing Cas Wouters’s ideas on informalisation. During the informalisation phase of the 1960s–1970s, a more even balance between generations ensued during the welfare state. Children’s play featured a prevalence of more freedom within ‘adventure playgrounds’ and ‘novelty playgrounds’. The informalisation phase was followed by a long reformalisation period (since the mid-1970s, but especially in the 1980s) characterised by more control and risk averse attitudes in parents and the emergence of a more restricting approach of ‘standardised playgrounds’. A rising informalisation trend gained momentum since the mid-2000s, leading to a moderate approach in the design of ‘integrated playgrounds’ in which risky play’s positive influence was acknowledged.
Childhood Figurations and Processes of Social Inequality in Brazil
Authors: Honorato Tony , Sarat Magda 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe investigation of infancy in society is one of the most demanding and complex of tasks and may be explained by a long-term figurational, relational and historical process approach as suggested by Norbert Elias´s theories. This chapter explains the figurational processes of childhood in Brazil discussing the conditions of inequality of generations of children in their relationship to adults, social rights and citizenship. We discuss, within Elias´s social and historical perspective, several social figurations in which individuals produce representations on childhood and social inequalities of childhood in Brazil. Familial, school and labour figurations are analysed. The empirical basis of this analysis is made up of pictures available at the 2016 Art Exposition, called History of Childhoods, in the Arts Museum of São Paulo (MASP).
Introduction

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe climate crisis represents a unique, collective action problem requiring the collaboration of diverse knowledge systems for enhancing climate policy. To achieve this, the book proposes the following: (1) Supporting SSH-STEM collaborations to foster innovative research and holistic policies; (2) Integrating local knowledge and epistemic justice to ensure inclusive and effective policymaking; (3) Ensuring just and inclusive transitions that advance distributive, procedural, and restorative justice, prioritising community engagement and addressing social vulnerabilities; (4) Learning from the Global South for climate adaptation strategies; and (5) Strengthening climate adaptation through ethical governance which is value-based and locally grounded. Achieving these goals demands profound societal transformations as presented in this collaborative work of Strengthening European climate policy: Governance recommendations from innovative interdisciplinary collaborations.
Developing Equitable Maritime Spatial Planning in the EU: Case Studies from Portugal and Norway
Authors: Abdel-Fattah Dina , Wester Misse , Martins Irene , Ramos Sandra , Kleiven Stian K. 
Published: September 2024

Policy HighlightsTo achieve the recommendation stated in the title, we propose the following:

Maritime spatial planning (MSP) is a mandated approach set forth by the EU to develop a common framework to manage maritime spaces.

MSP helps to bring together the perspectives of diverse stakeholders, although challenges exist to ensure it equitably reflects their needs and concerns.

The Portuguese case shows the importance of including top-down and bottom-up participation mechanisms to ensure all stakeholders are integrated into the process.

MSP can be used to protect sensitive areas and safeguard marine life, but the Norwegian case shows that political buy-in is imperative for its successful implementation.

Combining natural and social sciences in marine planning ensures the integration of diverse views and helps to develop a robust and equitable process.
Magnetic braneworlds: cosmology and wormholes
Authors: Antonini Stefano , Bariuan Luis Gabriel C. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
We construct 4D flat Big Bang-Big Crunch cosmologies and Anti-de Sitter (AdS) planar eternally traversable wormholes using braneworlds embedded in asymptotically AdS5 spacetimes. The background geometries are the AdS5 magnetic black brane and the magnetically charged AdS5 soliton, respectively. The two setups arise from different analytic continuations of the same saddle of the gravitational Euclidean path integral, in which the braneworld takes the form of a Maldacena-Maoz Euclidean wormhole. We show the existence of a holographic dual description of this setup in terms of a microscopic Euclidean boundary conformal field theory (BCFT) on a strip. By analyzing the BCFT Euclidean path integral, we show that the braneworld cosmology is encoded in a pure excited state of a CFT dual to a black brane microstate, whereas the braneworld wormhole is encoded in the ground state of the BCFT. The latter confines in the IR, and we study its confining properties using holography. We also comment on the properties of bulk reconstruction in the two Lorentzian pictures and their relationship via double analytic continuation. This work can be interpreted as an explicit, doubly-holographic realization of the relationship between cosmology, traversable wormholes, and confinement in holography, first proposed in arXiv:2102.05057, arXiv:2203.11220.
Mapping the SMEFT at high-energy colliders: from LEP and the (HL-)LHC to the FCC-ee

Published: September 2024

Abstract
We present SMEFiT3.0, an updated global SMEFT analysis of Higgs, top quark, and diboson production data from the LHC complemented by electroweak precision observables (EWPOs) from LEP and SLD. We consider recent inclusive and differential measurements from the LHC Run II, alongside with a novel implementation of the EWPOs based on independent calculations of the relevant EFT contributions. We estimate the impact of HL-LHC measurements on the SMEFT parameter space when added on top of SMEFiT3.0, through dedicated projections extrapolating from Run II data. We quantify the significant constraints that measurements from two proposed high-energy circular e+e− colliders, the FCC-ee and the CEPC, would impose on both the SMEFT parameter space and on representative UV-complete models. Our analysis considers projections for the FCC-ee and the CEPC based on the latest running scenarios and includes Z-pole EWPOs, fermion-pair, Higgs, diboson, and top quark production, using optimal observables for both the W+W− and the $$ t\overline{t} $$

channels. The framework presented in this work may be extended to other future colliders and running scenarios, providing timely input to ongoing studies towards future high-energy particle physics facilities.
Study of long range force in P2SO and T2HKK
Authors: Mishra Priya , Majhi Rudra , Pusty Sambit Kumar , Ghosh Monojit , Mohanta Rukmani 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the sensitivities of the upcoming long-baseline neutrino experiments P2SO and T2HKK to the long-range force (LRF). In the context of these two experiments, our objective is to study (i) their capabilities to put bounds on the LRF parameters as well as on constraining the mass and coupling strength of the new gauge boson, which gives rise to LRF due to matter density in Sun and (ii) the effect of LRF in the measurement of standard oscillation parameters. In our study, we find that among the different neutrino experiments, the best bounds on the LRF parameters including mass of the new gauge boson and its coupling strength will come from the P2SO experiment. Our study also shows that LRF has non-trivial effect on the determination of the standard neutrino oscillation parameters except the precision of $$ \Delta {m}_{31}^2 $$

Non-invertible symmetries in SN orbifold CFTs and holography

Published: September 2024

Abstract
We study non-invertible defects in two-dimensional SN orbifold CFTs. We construct universal defects which do not depend on the details of the seed CFT and hence exist in any orbifold CFT. Additionally, we investigate non-universal defects arising from the topological defects of the seed CFT. We argue that there exist universal defects that are non-trivial in the large-N limit, making them relevant for the AdS3/CFT2 correspondence. We then focus on AdS3×S3 × $$ {\mathcal{M}}_4 $$

Chile Niño/Niña in the coupled model intercomparison project phases 5 and 6
Authors: Concha Emilio , Dewitte Boris , Martinez-Villalobos Cristian , Solmon Fabien , Sanchez-Gomez Emilia 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe north and central coast of Chile is influenced by El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) through oceanic and atmospheric teleconnections. However, it also experiences episodic oceanic warmings off central Chile (30°S) lasting a few months that are not necessarily associated with ENSO. These episodes, called “Chile Niño” events, besides their ecological and socio-economical impacts, have also the potential to influence tropical Pacific variability. Here, we investigate how realistically the models in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP, Phases 5 and 6) simulate Chile Niño/Niña (CN) events, and quantify their changes under anthropogenic forcing. Despite limitations of the global models in simulating realistically coastal upwelling dynamics, we show that they simulate reasonably well the observed spatial pattern, amplitude and seasonal evolution of CN events. They however fail to properly represent the positive skewness from observations. The analysis of a sub-group of models (36) that simulate ENSO realistically reveals that CN events increase in amplitude and variance in the future climate with no changes in their frequency of occurence. This is interpreted as resulting from compensating effects amongst changes in remote drivers and local feedbacks. In particular, ENSO variance increases while that of the South Pacific Oscillation decreases. Conversely, we found that while the Wind-Evaporation-SST feedback tends to increase and the coupling between mixed-layer depth and SST weakens, favoring the development of CN events, the thermocline and wind-SST feedbacks decrease. However, only the change in the thermocline feedback is correlated to changes in CN variance amongst the models, suggesting a dominant role of local oceanic stratification changes in constraining the sensitivity of CN to global warming.
Combined pelvic ring and acetabular fractures – strategies and sequence of surgery. State of the art
Authors: Puchwein Paul , Sandersjöö Gunnar , Lindahl Jan , Eibinger Nicolas 
Published: September 2024

AbstractCombined injuries of the pelvic ring and the acetabulum are uncommon. Acute treatment should follow common protocols (ATLS e.g.) for pelvic ring injuries, although mechanical stabilization using pelvic binders or external fixators might be insufficient or even worsen the reduction in some combined fracture patterns. In case of mechanically connected acetabular and pelvic ring injury (MCAPI), surgical treatment might be demanding in lack of clear recommendations concerning the reduction and fixation sequence. A “pelvic ring first” sequence may be the best choice for most MCAPIs, starting with sacrum or SI-joint and symphysis pubis. An “acetabulum first” sequence should be considered in relatively stable posterior ring injuries and acetabulum fractures in younger patients, where a perfect anatomical reduction is feasible. Definitive surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible depending on concomitant injuries, ideally within 3–7 days. Mechanical understanding of the combined fracture pattern and accurate planning are mandatory for surgical repair.
