More than Markets: A Comparative Study of Nine Conservative Parties on Climate Change
Authors: Båtstrand Sondre 
Published: August 2015

Cross‐national comparisons of proposed policies of individual parties are an underdeveloped part of the literature on environmental politics in general and climate politics in particular. Although conservative parties are portrayed as skeptical toward adopting climate measures or even supposed to ignore climate change, this study of nine conservative electoral manifestoes nevertheless finds that most of them support climate measures, even in the form of state interventions in the market economy. Market measures are not as dominating as could be expected, but a clear finding is that available fossil reserves seem to have an influence on conservative climate politics. The U.S. Republican Party is an anomaly in denying anthropogenic climate change. Conservative parties as such are not in opposition to climate policies, but the pro‐business position is evident in that conservative parties do not challenge coal or petroleum in countries with large reserves of these resources.Related ArticlesRugeley,Cynthia R., andJohn DavidGerlach.2012. “.”Politics & Policy40():444‐470.http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1747‐1346.2012.00352.x/abstractNorman,Emma R., andRafaelDelfin.2012. “.”Politics & Policy40():369‐402.http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1747‐1346.2012.00356.x/fullViniegra,Ibarrarán,MaríaEugenia, andSalimah MónicaCossens González.2007. “.”Politics & Policy35():684‐701.http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1747‐1346.2007.00080.x/abstractRelated Media.2014. “A Conservative on Climate Change.”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSGiv60PBd8.2014. “Creating Public Doubt about Scientific Facts.” With Naomi Oreskes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaGiIhH7lAI.2011. “Why We Disagree about Climate Change.” With Mike Hulme.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqJVHzxWQDU
Testing Voter Responses to New Style Judicial Campaign Appeals: What Works—Policy Promotion or Experience?
Authors: McKenzie Mark Jonathan , Rugeley Cynthia R. , Unger Michael A. 
Published: August 2015

Historically, judicial campaigns in America centered on candidate appeals to experience and expertise in the law. In more recent years, state supreme court campaigns have become more issue‐based, representing a “new style” campaign as termed by public law scholars. This study examines how voters respond to judicial candidates’ policy‐based appeals versus traditional appeals to experience. Using an experiment embedded in the 2010 Cooperative Congressional Elections Study survey, we examine how these different messages affect the vote choice of individuals toward judicial candidates. Our results show that judicial voters do not react negatively to policy promises per se, as some public law scholars have feared. Rather, these voters respond favorably to specific issues when a judicial candidate promotes a position consistent with the voter's opinions. Interestingly, however, we find that some candidates benefit more from “New Style” campaign messages than others.Related Articles

Ethnic Minority Governments, Democracy, and Human Rights
Authors: Tusalem Rollin F. 
Published: August 2015

This study investigates empirically whether or not the presence of minority governments is more likely to induce the erosion of democracy. This is in light of how extant research in comparative democratization has focused on the deleterious effect of ethnic fractionalization on democratic survival. However, more recent work that re‐examined the ethnic heterogeneity and democratic collapse nexus finds mostly null effects. This article shows that ethnic fractionalization per se does not hinder the process of democratization. The study finds that the assumption to power of minority heads of government and their length of tenure in office lead to ethnic minority dominance that has a pernicious effect on democratic development and the promotion of human rights. The implications suggest that the presence of minority governments may generate ethnic tensions that precipitate longstanding political instability, which makes it difficult for democratic politics and its practices to endure.Related Articles

Symmetric and asymmetric motivations for compliance and violation: A crisp set qualitative comparative analysis ofChinese farmers
Authors: Yan Huiqi , van der Heijden Jeroen , van Rooij Benjamin 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThis article applies crisp set qualitative comparative analysis (csQCA) to gain insight into the compliance motivations and behaviors of 101Chinese farmers. It seeks to understand how eight motivations (capacity to comply, legal knowledge, deterrent effect of sanctions, cost–benefit analysis, descriptive social norms, morals, general duty to obey, and procedural justice) combine in compliant and non‐compliant behavior, and whether there is only one combination of motivations or several that lead to compliance and non‐compliance. It illustrates howcsQCAassists in making visible and analyzing situations of interacting compliance motivations (conjunctural causality) and situations where different combinations of motivations result in similar compliance behavior (equifinality). It identifies symmetrical and non‐symmetrical relationships between specific compliance motivations and compliance behaviors – indicating that motivations for non‐compliance are not necessarily the opposite of those for compliance. This non‐symmetry may logically be explained because deterrence plays a different role in compliance decisions than in non‐compliance decisions. The article concludes by highlighting the relevance of such insights for theorizing on compliance and for law enforcement, and the limitations of the method applied.
New fossils from China elucidating the phylogeny of Praesiricidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera)

Published: August 2015

AbstractA new subfamily of Praesiricidae (Pamphilioidea), Decorisiricinae subfam.n., is erected based on three new genera: Decorisiricius gen.n., Limbisiricius gen.n. and Brevisiricius gen.n. Two new species – Decorisiricius patulus gen. et sp.n. and D. longus sp.n. – from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation and three species –Limbisiricius aequalis gen. et sp.n., Limbisiricius complanatus sp.n. and Brevisiricius partialis gen. et sp.n. – from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation, are described. Based on these well‐preserved new fossil specimens and previously published data, the nonmonophyly of Praesiricidae is confirmed and the phylogenetic relationships of species of Praesiricidae are analysed for the first time. Two main clades within Praesiricidae are recognized from the cladistic analysis: Decorisiricinae subfam.n. forms a monophyletic lineage, with the remaining members of Praesiricidae plus Megalodontes (Megalodontesidae) forming its sister group. The two subfamilies Archoxyelydinae and Praesiricinae are discarded with no strong supported synapomorphic characters based on phylogenetic research. A key to all genera of Praesiricidae is provided.This published work has been registered in ZooBank, http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:38D703ED‐127A‐4DB0‐8153‐8D78AF4AC212.

BACKGROUNDPatient blood management (PBM) measures have been shown to be effective in reducing transfusions while maintaining patient outcome. The issuance of transfusion guidelines is seen as being key to the success of PBM programs. As the introduction of guidelines alone did not visibly reduce transfusions in our center, a monitoring and feedback program was established. The aim of our study was to show the effectiveness of such measures in reducing transfusions and cost.STUDY DESIGN AND METHODSWe designed a prospective, interventional cohort study with a 3‐year time frame (January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014). In total, 101,794 patients aged 18 years or older were included. The PBM monitoring and feedback program was introduced on January 1, 2014, with the subsequent issuance of quarterly reporting.RESULTSWithin the first year of introduction, transfusion of all allogeneic blood products per 1000 patients was reduced by 27% (red blood cell units, −24%; platelet units, −25%; and fresh‐frozen plasma units, −37%; all p < 0.001) leading to direct allogeneic blood product related savings of more than 2 million USD. The number of blood products transfused per case was significantly reduced from 9 ± 19 to 7 ± 14 (p < 0.001). With an odds ratio of 0.86 (95% confidence interval, 0.82‐0.91), the introduction of our PBM monitoring and feedback program was a significant independent factor in the reduction of transfusion probability (p < 0.001).CONCLUSIONOur PBM monitoring and feedback program was highly efficacious in reducing the transfusion of allogeneic blood products and transfusion‐related costs.
Pretransplant platelet transfusion refractoriness is not associated with platelet nonengraftment in T‐replete hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation for hematologic malignancies

Published: August 2015

BACKGROUNDCellular engraftment after allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (HPCT) can be affected by pre‐HPCT antibodies against donor human leukocyte antigen (HLA; donor‐specific antibodies [DSAs]), which are commonly acquired by either pregnancy or transfusion. Issues regarding high assay sensitivity and variable interpretation limit routine screening for DSAs. Platelet (PLT) transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is relatively common in patients with hematologic malignancies, and anti‐HLA alloantibodies can be identified in up to 20% of cases. For patients with PTR undergoing subsequent allogeneic HPCT, however, the effect if any on subsequent PLT nonengraftment is unknown.STUDY DESIGN AND METHODSWe conducted a retrospective study of 480 adults who underwent T‐replete HPCT for hematologic malignancy and compared the posttransplantation clinical outcomes between patients who were PTR before HPCT and those who were not.RESULTSMultivariate analysis demonstrated that PTR was not directly associated with PLT nonengraftment or graft failure, but did predict for early intensive care unit admission, which was the only variable associated with these outcomes (p < 0.0001).CONCLUSIONOur findings suggest that PTR before HPCT identifies patients at higher risk of early clinical rather than immunologic complications.
The use of code‐mixing in Indian billboard advertising
Authors: KATHPALIA SUJATA S. , WEE ONG KENNETH KENG 
Published: August 2015

ABSTRACTOne major area of interest in the study of contemporary linguistic landscapes worldwide is the interaction of English with local languages in public spaces. One such example of this is the use of ‘Hinglish’ in Indian media, particularly in Indian advertising. Although some researchers have previously investigated Hindi‐English code‐switching in Bollywood films as well as print advertisements, relatively little research has been done on the interplay of these two languages on billboards. This current study aims to analyze this aspect of Hindi‐English code‐mixing involving literary devices in the ‘Amul butter’ advertising campaign which uses billboards to advertise its product throughout India.
Attitudes in Fiji towards varieties of English
Authors: Hundt Marianne , Zipp Lena , Huber André 
Published: August 2015

ABSTRACTIn Schneider's (2007) influential model, the emergence of positive attitudes towards the local, post‐colonial variety is an important step for the evolution of new Englishes, not least of all because it is likely to mark a shift from an external towards an internal norm. This paper explores attitudes towards varieties of English among a group of young Fiji citizens in tertiary education. The results indicate that British English is still a strong reference variety, while American English is clearly favoured over more local Pacific varieties, like Australian and New Zealand English. A closer analysis of the survey data indicates that a simple dichotomy of exo‐ vs. endonormative orientation may be difficult to maintain in this context.
TOUCHING THE MIND OF GOD: PATRISTIC CHRISTIAN THOUGHT ON THE NATURE OF MATTER
Authors: Schooping Joshua 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThis paper seeks to examine the nature of matter from an Orthodox Christian patristic perspective, specifically that of St. Gregory of Nyssa, and compare this with David Bohm's concept of wholeness and the implicate order. By examining the ramifications of the doctrine of creation ex nihilo, the basic nature of matter as being rooted in the mind of God reveals itself, and furthermore shows that certain conceptions of quantum physics can provide language with which to give voice to this ancient view.
THE SECULARIZATION OF CHANCE: TOWARD UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF THE PROBABILITY REVOLUTION ON CHRISTIAN BELIEF IN DIVINE PROVIDENCE
Authors: Reeves Josh 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThis article gives a brief history of chance in the Christian tradition, from casting lots in the Hebrew Bible to the discovery of laws of chance in the modern period. I first discuss the deep‐seated skepticism towards chance in Christian thought, as shown in the work of Augustine, Aquinas, and Calvin. The article then describes the revolution in our understanding of chance—when contemporary concepts such as probability and risk emerged—that occurred a century after Calvin. The modern ability to quantify chance has transformed ideas about the universe and human nature, separating Christians today from their predecessors, but has received little attention by Christian historians and theologians.
THE DUALISTIC, DISCARNATE PICTURE THAT HAUNTS THE COGNITIVE SCIENCE OF RELIGION
Authors: Nikkel David H. 
Published: August 2015

AbstractA dualistic, discarnate picture haunts contemporary cognitive science of religion (CSR). Cognitive scientists of religion generally assert or assume a reductive physicalism, primarily through unconscious mental mechanisms that detect supernatural agency where none exists and a larger purpose to life when none exists. Accompanying this focus is a downplaying of conscious reflection in religious belief and practice. Yet the mind side of dualism enters into CSR in interesting ways. Some cognitive scientists turn practitioners of religion into dualists who allegedly believe in disembodied spirits. By emphasizing supernatural agency, CSR neglects nonpersonal powers and meanings in religion, both in terms of magical thinking and practice and of nonpersonal conceptions of divinity. Additionally, some cognitive scientists of religion declare that all humans are innate dualists. They use this alleged dualism to explain beliefs about both an afterlife and transfers of consciousness. Finally, some call on this dualism to serve a salvific function, trying to salvage some meaning to human life.

Published: August 2015

Research on synthetic jet fuels production and combustion has recently gained importance because they could help addressing security of supply and sustainable air transportation challenges. The combustion of a 100% Gas to Liquid from Shell (C10.45H23.06; M=148.44 g.mol−1; H/C=2.20; density=737.7 g L−1), a 100% vol. Coal to Liquid from Sasol (C11.06H21.6; M=154.32 g mol−1; H/C=1.95; density= 815.7 g L−1) and surrogates composed of various concentrations of n-decane iso-octane, n-propylcyclohexane, n-propylbenzene, and decalin, were studied in a jet-stirred reactor under the same conditions (temperature, 550–1150 K; pressure, 10 bar; equivalence ratio, 0.5–2). Comparison of these results helped designing optimum surrogate model fuels for the chemical kinetic computations.
For simulating the kinetics of oxidation of the synthetic fuels we used new surrogates consisting of mixtures of n-decane, iso-octane, 2-methylheptane, 3-methylheptane, decalin, n-propylcyclohexane, n-propylbenzene, and tetralin. The detailed chemical kinetic reaction mechanism proposed here consisted of 2430 species reacting in 10962 reversible reactions. It was validated using the entire experimental database obtained previously in our laboratory and in the present work. The current chemical kinetic model was also tested for the auto-ignition under shock tubes using data from the literature. Kinetic computations involving reaction paths analyses and sensitivity analyses were used to interpret the results.
Effect of Mistuning and Damping on the Forced Response of a Compressor Blisk Rotor

Published: August 2015

The forced response of an E3E-type high pressure compressor blisk front rotor is analyzed with regard to intentional mistuning and its robustness towards additional random mistuning. Both a chosen alternating mistuning pattern and artificial mistuning patterns optimized concerning the forced response are considered. Focusing on three different blade modes, subset of nominal system mode-based reduced order models are employed to compute the forced response. The disk remains unchanged while the Young’s modulus of each blade is used to define the particular mistuning pattern. The well established aerodynamic influence coefficient technique is employed to model aeroelastic coupling and hence to consider the strongly mode- and inter blade phase angle-dependent aerodynamic damping contribution.
It has been found that a reduction of the maximum forced response beyond that of the tuned reference can be achieved for particular mistuning patterns and all modes considered. This implies an exciting engine order which would cause a low nodal diameter mode in case of a tuned blisk. At best a nearly 50% reduction of maximum response magnitudes is computed for the fundamental bending mode and large mistuning. The solution proved to be robust towards additional random mistuning of reasonable magnitude, which is of particular interest with regard to a potential technical realization. In case of small mistuning as assumed for the first torsion and the longitudinal bending mode the advantage of achieving response magnitudes beyond the tuned reference gets lost indeed, if random mistuning is superimposed. However, mostly a lower response level is calculated compared to responses obtained from models adjusted to mistuning determined by experiment.
Experimental and Numerical Study on Optimizing the DLN Micromix Hydrogen Combustion Principle for Industrial Gas Turbine Applications

Published: August 2015

Combined with the use of renewable energy sources for its production, hydrogen represents a possible alternative gas turbine fuel for future low emission power generation. Due to the difference in the physical properties of hydrogen compared to other fuels such as natural gas, well-established gas turbine combustion systems cannot be directly applied to Dry Low NOx (DLN) hydrogen combustion.
The DLN Micromix combustion of hydrogen has been under development for many years, since it has the promise to significantly reduce NOx emissions. This combustion principle for air-breathing engines is based on cross-flow mixing of air and gaseous hydrogen. Air and hydrogen react in multiple miniaturized diffusion-type flames with an inherent safety against flash-back and with low NOx-emissions due to a very short residence time of the reactants in the flame region.
The paper presents an advanced DLN Micromix hydrogen application. The experimental and numerical study shows a combustor configuration with a significantly reduced number of enlarged fuel injectors with high thermal power output at constant energy density. Larger fuel injectors reduce manufacturing costs, are more robust and less sensitive to fuel contamination and blockage in industrial environments.
The experimental and numerical results confirm the successful application of high energy injectors, while the DLN Micromix characteristics of the design point, under part load conditions and under off-design operation are maintained. Atmospheric test rig data on NOx emissions, optical flame structure and combustor material temperatures are compared to numerical simulations and show good agreement.
The impact of the applied scaling and design laws on the miniaturized Micromix flamelets is particularly investigated numerically for the resulting flow field, the flame structure and NOx formation.
