Generalised shot-noise representations of stochastic systems driven by non-Gaussian Lévy processes
Authors: Godsill Simon , Kontoyiannis Ioannis , Tapia Costa Marcos 
Published: March 2024

AbstractWe consider the problem of obtaining effective representations for the solutions of linear, vector-valued stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by non-Gaussian pure-jump Lévy processes, and we show how such representations lead to efficient simulation methods. The processes considered constitute a broad class of models that find application across the physical and biological sciences, mathematics, finance, and engineering. Motivated by important relevant problems in statistical inference, we derive new, generalised shot-noise simulation methods whenever a normal variance-mean (NVM) mixture representation exists for the driving Lévy process, including the generalised hyperbolic, normal-gamma, and normal tempered stable cases. Simple, explicit conditions are identified for the convergence of the residual of a truncated shot-noise representation to a Brownian motion in the case of the pure Lévy process, and to a Brownian-driven SDE in the case of the Lévy-driven SDE. These results provide Gaussian approximations to the small jumps of the process under the NVM representation. The resulting representations are of particular importance in state inference and parameter estimation for Lévy-driven SDE models, since the resulting conditionally Gaussian structures can be readily incorporated into latent variable inference methods such as Markov chain Monte Carlo, expectation-maximisation, and sequential Monte Carlo.
Corporate Human Rights Responsibility in Illiberal Regimes: The Example of the Ukrainian Refugee Crisis in Hungary
Authors: Pap Andras L. , Chronowski Nóra , Nemessányi Zoltán 
Published: March 2024

AbstractFollowing the first-ever rule of law conditionality procedure in September 2022, a resolution was adopted by the European Parliament which declared that Hungary could no longer be considered a full democracy, as it had turned into a ‘hybrid regime of electoral autocracy’. Against this background, this article explains the business and human rights (BHR) gap in Hungary and presents its consequences for the Ukrainian refugee crisis. We first provide a general overview of the role of business in the development and consolidation of the Orbán regime over the past 13 years, highlighting how businesses are both agents and victims of legal and political developments. The paper distinguishes four types of ‘business’: multinational and foreign companies that are direct beneficiaries of the regime; local companies that are direct beneficiaries of the regime; multinational companies that are targets of restrictive and repressive populist rhetoric and economic policies; and the ‘rest’, the remainder that try to avoid becoming targets of oligarchic takeovers. The article also documents how the state and other stakeholders are failing to meet their commitments under the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). The next part of the article assesses how companies are responding to the refugee crisis caused by the war in Ukraine, Hungary’s neighbour. If the government does not adopt Pillar I and Pillar III of the UNGPs, what room for manoeuvre do companies have? The focus here is on how companies, domestic and foreign, multinational enterprises (MNEs) and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), engage in humanitarian (and human rights) crisis management.
Implementing the Rule of Law in the European Union: How Long Trapped in Penelope's Spinning Wheel from Article 2 of the TEU?
Authors: Moreiro González Carlos J. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis contribution analyses the current situation of the implementation of the Rule of Law in the EU focusing on three essential aspects: the role of Article 2 of the TEU as a legal paradigm, the issue of effectiveness of secondary law to strengthen Supranational mechanisms for the defense of the Rule of Law; and the thorny issue of the primacy of EU Law in the current Era of European Integration.
Tough Positions, Trustful Voters? How Mainstream Party Position-Taking on Immigration Shapes Political Trust and its Impact on Far-Right Voting
Authors: Geese Lucas 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Mainstream parties have taken increasingly restrictive immigration policy positions across Western Europe. Yet the political consequences of this behaviour for citizens' democratic norms and practices are still not well understood. This article focuses on public political trust. Bridging the literatures on immigration-related trust and spatial theory, the spotlight is put on the consequences of mainstream party position-taking on immigration for the interconnectedness of citizens' immigration policy preferences, political distrust and far-right voting. An analysis of data from the Chapel Hill Expert Survey and European Social Survey across 14 Western European democracies (2006–2018) suggests that tougher immigration positions of centre-right parties in government weaken the link between immigration scepticism and political distrust and, in turn, the relevance of political distrust as a precursor of far-right voting. This has important implications for our understanding of immigration politics and advances the existing literatures on party competition, political trust and far-right voting in several ways.
Gandhi's Mira: Debating “Female” Suffering and the Politics of Iconography
Authors: Varghese Ritu , Rath Akshaya K. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractDuring the first decades of the twentieth century when the Indian freedom struggle movement gained momentum, M. K. Gandhi often evoked Mirabai—the sixteenth-centurybhaktipoet-saint—in his public speeches and voluminous letters. This article demonstrates the degree to which Gandhi's maneuver fundamentally altered Mirabai's image as a national and cultural symbol, and how it prompted the mobilization of women in the larger nationalist movement. Through the process of appropriation, Mirabai's image evolved in the Indian cultural realm from a woman charged with promiscuity into an ideal “chaste” woman. Gandhi's intervention further initiated a moral renaissance parallel to the nationalist current where women transgressed the thresholds of traditional domesticity and became active agents of non-violent resistance—Hindu/spiritual in essence—inspired by Mirabai's suffering and compositions. Gandhi's Mira emerged as a literary-cultural hybrid that circulated in public spheres, as Mirabai became a public icon and a vehicle for women's emancipation alongside national liberation.
Epistemic Exhaustion and the Retention of Power
Authors: Satta Mark 
Published: March 2024

AbstractEpistemic exhaustion is cognitive fatigue generated by efforts to determine, retain, or communicate what one believes under conditions that make doing so especially taxing. I argue that the creation and maintenance of epistemic exhaustion is a tool that the socially and politically powerful can and do use in order to retain power. I consider a variety of conversational tactics and three circumstances—partisan polarization, epistemic chaos, and epistemic oppression—that can leave people prone to epistemic exhaustion. I survey several common responses to epistemic exhaustion and offer some suggestions for how we ought to respond to epistemically exhausting circumstances.
World-Traveling to the Servants’ Quarters: The Pseudo-Concreteness of Lugones’ Decolonial Feminism
Authors: Mulaj Jeta 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis article focuses on the role of servants in María Lugones’ “Playfulness, ‘World’-Travelling, and Loving Perception.” I show that Lugones uses and erases the work of servants in developing her understanding of world-traveling. This theoretical marginalization and instrumentalization challenges her claim to capture concrete, lived experience. This article argues that Lugones’ theory is “pseudo-concrete”: it capitulates into the very abstractions it seeks to overcome. Focusing on the role of servants reveals the class character of world-traveling and, in turn, its inability to grasp class relations. This article, thus, invites decolonial feminists to reconsider the advantages of class analysis for understanding not only capitalist domination but also perception, identification, and love.
Only two in five pregnant women have adequate dietary diversity during antenatal care at Hiwot Fana Specialized University Hospital in Eastern Ethiopia

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Dietary diversification is a sustainable and appealing strategy for pregnant women to ensure a balanced dietary intake. In Ethiopia, despite the implementation of various nutritional initiatives, inadequate dietary diversity remains a significant factor contributing to adverse birth outcomes. Thus, this study aimed to assess the dietary diversity and associated characteristics among pregnant women attending antenatal care in Eastern Ethiopia. Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 28 to May 28, 2021. A total of 420 pregnant women were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. We used the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and a 95% confidence interval to estimate the strength of the association. We used a p-value of 0.05 to declare statistical significance. Only 35.0% (95% CI: 30.5, 39.5) of the 420 pregnant women involved in this study received appropriate dietary diversity. Having an educational level of college and above (AOR 3.01, 95% CI: 1.19–7.5), being an urban dweller (AOR = 3.57, 95% CI: 1.68–7.52), eating three meals and above (AOR = 7.62, 95% CI: 2.88–9.03), and having ≤4 family sizes (AOR = 9.33, 95% CI: 4.06–10.4) were significantly associated with an adequate dietary diversity score among pregnant women. This study found that pregnant women had inadequate overall consumption of a diversified diet. Increasing meal frequency, enhancing women’s education, raising awareness of dietary diversity among rural inhabitants, and offering counselling on family planning utilisation during ANC services are all beneficial in promoting dietary diversity among pregnant women.
Inequalities between time and customer averages for HNB(W)UE arrival processes
Authors: Shioda Shigeo , Nakano Kana 
Published: March 2024

AbstractWe show that for arrival processes, the ‘harmonic new better than used in expectation’ (HNBUE) (or ‘harmonic new worse than used in expectation’, HNWUE) property is a sufficient condition for inequalities between the time and customer averages of the system if the state of the system between arrival epochs is stochastically decreasing and convex and the lack of anticipation assumption is satisfied. HNB(W)UE is a wider class than NB(W)UE, being the largest of all available classes of distributions with positive (negative) aging properties. Thus, this result represents an important step beyond existing result on inequalities between time and customer averages, which states that for arrival processes, the NB(W)UE property is a sufficient condition for inequalities.
ON THE FRAGILITY OF INTERPOLATION
Authors: TARLECKI ANDRZEJ 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
We study a version of the Craig interpolation theorem formulated in the framework of the theory of institutions. This formulation proved crucial in the development of a number of key results concerning foundations of software specification and formal development. We investigate preservation of interpolation properties under institution extensions by new models and sentences. We point out that some interpolation properties remain stable under such extensions, even if quite arbitrary new models and sentences are permitted. We give complete characterisations of such situations for institution extensions by new models, by new sentences, as well as by new models and sentences, respectively.
THREE SURPRISING INSTANCES OF DIVIDING
Authors: CONANT GABRIEL , KRUCKMAN ALEX 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
We give three counterexamples to the folklore claim that in an arbitrary theory, if a complete type p over a set B does not divide over

$C\subseteq B$

, then no extension of p to a complete type over

$\operatorname {acl}(B)$

divides over C. Two of our examples are also the first known theories where all sets are extension bases for nonforking, but forking and dividing differ for complete types (answering a question of Adler). One example is an

$\mathrm {NSOP}_1$

theory with a complete type that forks, but does not divide, over a model (answering a question of d’Elbée). Moreover, dividing independence fails to imply M-independence in this example (which refutes another folklore claim). In addition to these counterexamples, we summarize various related properties of dividing that are still true. We also address consequences for previous literature, including an earlier unpublished result about forking and dividing in free amalgamation theories, and some claims about dividing in the theory of generic

A Sense of a European Present and its Passing during the Revolutions of 1848
Authors: Morris James 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis article explores the temporality of revolution in 1848. It argues that what united the various revolutionary movements of that year was a sense of participating in a common European ‘present’, in which old imperial hierarchies collapsed and every cause and people seemed to exist in the same historical moment. The significance of that sense of the present was visible across the continent, but it was of greatest significance in the revolutionary theatres beyond the core imperial centres, and it was those places that would suffer first when that present passed. Too much ‘history’ was taking place at once, and as events in different settings followed their own particular courses, minds turned away from a European project. As European unity faltered, it was the representatives of imperial counter-revolution who demonstrated their ability to think strategically on a continent-wide level. They defeated the various movements, which had promised a better European present, and deferred improvements to the future. By doing so, they returned the peoples of the continent to their own particular – rather than common European – ‘nows’.
An applicator for high-power rock comminution using microwave technology in the megawatt range
Authors: Alekajbaf Yasin , Dancila Dragos 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The mining industry is heavily dependent on energy-intensive processes, such as rock breakage, which leads to significant operational costs. This paper explores microwave-assisted rock breakage as an innovative method to enhance the efficiency of comminution within the mining industry. It introduces a system that employs a Klystron microwave power source with a maximum output of 7.5 MW, using a

$\mathrm{TM}_{010}$

single-mode cavity at 3 GHz, to channel energy inside a specially designed rock cavity. The paper emphasizes the importance of designing an efficient microwave cavity for this system, focusing on the cavity’s design and simulation. Through both simulated results (using HFSS software) and experimental observations, the study reveals the promising application of microwave technology in the field of mining. The simulated frequency response of the designed cavity (S11) is −22 dB, it demonstrates significant potential for reducing both energy consumption and associated costs. Additionally, the designed cavity is fabricated from aluminum and filled with polyether ether ketone material. The measured frequency response (S11) of the cavity at 3 GHz is −17 dB.
Mental health and help-seeking in Czech sexual minorities: a nationally representative cross-sectional study
Authors: Pitoňák Michal , Potočár Libor , Formánek Tomáš 
Published: March 2024

AbstractAimsThe mental health of sexual minority (SM) individuals remains overlooked and understudied in Czechia. We aimed to estimate (1) the prevalence rate and (2) the relative risk of common mental disorders and (3) the mental distress severity among the Czech SM people compared with the heterosexual population. In addition, we aimed to investigate help-seeking for mental disorders in SM people.MethodsWe used data from a cross-sectional, nationally representative survey of Czech community-dwelling adults, consisting of 3063 respondents (response rate = 58.62%). We used the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview to assess the presence of mental disorders. In individuals scoring positively, we established help-seeking in the past 12 months. We assessed symptom severity using the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire and the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale. We computed the prevalence of mental disorders and the treatment gap with 95% confidence intervals. To assess the risk of having a mental disorder, we used binary logistic regression.ResultsWe demonstrated that the prevalence of current mental disorders was 18.85% (17.43–20.28), 52.27% (36.91–67.63), 33.33% (19.5–47.17) and 25.93% (13.85–38) in heterosexual, gay or lesbian, bisexual and more sexually diverse individuals, respectively. Suicidal thoughts and behaviours were present in 5.73% (4.88–6.57), 25.00% (11.68–38.32), 22.92% (10.58–35.25) and 11.11% (2.45–19.77) of heterosexual, gay or lesbian, bisexual and more sexually diverse individuals, respectively. After confounder adjustment, gay or lesbian individuals were more likely to have at least one current mental disorder compared with heterosexual counterparts (odds ratio = 3.51; 1.83–6.76). For bisexual and sexually more diverse individuals, the results were consistent with a null effect (1.85; 0.96–3.45 and 0.89; 0.42–1.73). The mean depression symptom severity was 2.96 (2.81–3.11) in heterosexual people and 4.68 (2.95–6.42), 7.12 (5.07–9.18) and 5.17 (3.38–6.95) in gay or lesbian, bisexual and more sexually diverse individuals, respectively. The mean anxiety symptom severity was 1.97 (1.85–2.08) in heterosexual people and 3.5 (1.98–5.02), 4.63 (3.05–6.2) and 3.7 (2.29–5.11) in gay or lesbian, bisexual and more sexually diverse individuals, respectively. We demonstrated broadly consistent levels of treatment gap in heterosexual and SM individuals scoring positively for at least one current mental disorder (82.91%; 79.5–85.96 vs. 81.13%; 68.03–90.56).ConclusionsWe provide evidence that SM people in Czechia have substantially worse mental health outcomes than their heterosexual counterparts. Systemic changes are imperative to provide not only better and more sensitive care to SM individuals but also to address structural stigma contributing to these health disparities.
Heat and Moisture Anomalies During Crop Failure Events in the Southeastern Australian Wheat Belt

Published: March 2024

AbstractProlonged droughts and heatwaves are common causes of agricultural failure in Australia, yet the origins of these climate anomalies remain understudied. Here, we use a Lagrangian trajectory model driven by atmospheric reanalysis and constrained by satellite data to unravel the sources of precipitation and heat over the Southeastern Australia wheat belt. Furthermore, we assess the impact of local and upwind drought conditions on the moisture and heat imports to the region. Results indicate that the most extreme crop failure events over the wheat belt (i.e., 1994, 2002, and 2006) were associated with persistent high‐pressure systems. The ocean provided on average 72% of the moisture for precipitation and 39% of the heat arriving over the wheat belt, with the moisture sources substantially decreasing during crop failure events. Upwind drought further intensified rainfall deficits and heat stress during these events due to lower moisture and higher heat imports to the region. This was particularly clear during the initial phase of the Millennium Drought in 2002. Then, yield deficits exceeded 50%, and ∼4% of the precipitation originated from drought‐affected regions upwind, compared to the 9% that was expected climatologically from those regions. Simultaneously, the heat import from these regions upwind increased by ∼10 W m−2, from the climatological 23%–25%, during this event. While these results indicate a limited potential for upwind land management to mitigate downwind agricultural loss in the Southeastern Australia wheat belt, other agricultural regions with a higher climatic dependency on remote land may benefit from such strategies.
Subseasonal Variability of Humid Heat During the South Asian Summer Monsoon
Authors: Ivanovich C. C. , Horton R. M. , Sobel A. H. , Singh D. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe South Asian summer monsoon strongly modulates regional temperature and humidity. While extreme dry heat peaks in the pre‐monsoon season, recent literature suggests that extreme humid heat can continue to build throughout the monsoon season. Here we explore the influence of monsoon onset and subseasonal precipitation variability on the occurrence of extreme wet bulb temperatures (Tw) across South Asia. We find that extreme Tw events often occur on rainy days during the monsoon season. However, the influence of precipitation on Tw varies with the background climatology of surface specific humidity. In climatologically drier areas, positive Tw anomalies tend to occur when precipitation increases due to either early onset or wet spells during the monsoon. In contrast, in climatologically humid areas, positive Tw anomalies occur during periods of suppressed precipitation, including both delayed onset and dry spells during the monsoon.
Informative Modes of Seismicity in Nearest‐Neighbor Earthquake Proximities
Authors: Hsu Yu‐Fang , Zaliapin Ilya , Ben‐Zion Yehuda 
Published: March 2024

AbstractWe analyze nearest‐neighbor proximities of earthquakes in California based on the joint distribution (T, R) of rescaled time T and rescaled distance R between pairs of earthquakes (Zaliapin & Ben‐Zion, 2013a, https://doi.org/10.1002/jgrb.50179), using seismic catalogs from several regions and several catalogs for the San Jacinto Fault Zone (SJFZ). The study aims to identify informative modes in nearest‐neighbor diagrams beyond the general background and clustered modes, and to assess seismic catalogs derived by different methods. The results show that earthquake clusters with large and small‐to‐medium mainshocks have approximately diagonal and horizontal (T, R) distributions of the clustered mode, respectively, reflecting different triggering distances of mainshocks. Earthquakes in the creeping section of San Andreas Fault have a distinct “repeaters mode” characterized by very large rescaled times T and very small rescaled distances R, due to nearly identical locations of repeating events. Induced seismicity in the Geysers and Coso geothermal fields follow mostly the background mode, but with larger rescaled times T and smaller rescaled distances R compared to tectonic background seismicity. We also document differences in (T, R) distributions of catalogs constructed by different techniques (analyst‐picks, template‐matching and deep‐learning) for the SJFZ, and detect a mode with very large R and small T in the template‐matching and deep‐learning based catalogs. This mode may reflect dynamic triggering by passing waves and/or catalog artifacts.
