Diagnosing fertilizer levels in spinach and detecting pesticides in cauliflower using an electronic nose augmented with machine learning
Authors: Robert Kwehayo , Sharma Chayanika , Sarma Utpal 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The increasing use of pesticides and fertilizers in agricultural practices poses substantial consumer risks. This study explores the utilization of an E-Nose (electronic nose) system augmented with machine learning (ML) to identify fertilizers and pesticides in plants. E-Nose technology effectively analyzes the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by plants at different conditions. The principle behind E-Nose technology involves using a gas sensor array to record and monitor VOC emissions from plant samples. These emissions are then analyzed using ML models to identify patterns related to pesticide and fertilizer treatments. One significant advantage of this technology is its capability to detect chemical residues without direct contact with the plants, making it a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional chemical analysis. The scope of application of E-nose technology extends to various agricultural monitoring requirements, particularly in identifying the fertilizer and pesticide applications in plants. In this study, the spinach plants were classified into three categories-organic, lightly fertilized, and heavily fertilized. Similarly, the cauliflower plants were exposed to different concentrations of a pesticide mixture containing 40% profenofos and 4% cypermethrin. VOC readings were taken after specific growth periods to capture the effects of these treatments. The generated data was classified using ML models, SVM (Support Vector Machine) and random forest, achieving accuracies of 90.9% for pesticide classification and 99.5% in distinguishing plants treated with fertilizers of different concentrations. The E-Nose technology offers a rapid and cost-effective solution for real-time agricultural monitoring.
EVCS demand management using multi-objective power flow analysis with renewable distributed generators
Authors: Gandotra Rupika , Pal Kirti 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Smart grids have made considerable strides in the optimal integration of electrical units such as distributed generation units and electric vehicle charging station. The conventional grid system has been successfully revolutionized by this advancement, which has great promise for cost savings and independent energy source management. This study obtains techno-economic benefits by minimizing the total economic losses of the system while reducing power losses, optimizing DG capacity and location and also reducing the fuel costs of thermal power plants. For this purpose, two multi-objective Grey Wolf Optimizer (MOGWO) and multi-Objective Differential Evolution (MODE) techniques have been merged with NR power flow analysis and pareto optimal solutions are also presented. This paper includes two scenarios: the base case under normal conditions and with EVCS where the load is increased by 1.1 times the base load. The results demonstrate that the MOGWO approach outperforms the MODE method, yielding more favourable outcomes in both scenarios. Notably, the MOGWO method results in smaller DG sizes compared to MODE in both normal and EVCS loading conditions. Transmission losses are reduced by 68.12% under normal conditions and by 72.7% under EVCS loading conditions with the MOGWO approach. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been evaluated using MATLAB software on the standard IEEE 57-bus system. Additionally, the base case results have been compared with other algorithms, including SCA, DA, NSGA-II, and MOCS, to validate the performance of the proposed MOGWO approach.
The Tropics in Sight
Authors: Ribi Forclaz Amalia 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Chapter 7 explores how in the late 1940s the Eurocentric understanding of agricultural labour finally shifted to encompass the problems arising in so-called tropical regions, particularly in South Asia. In the late 1940s, in the wake of Indian independence, Asian countries asked the ILO to consider the problem of plantation labour in the ‘tropics’ both in newly independent and colonial territories. The ILO’s agricultural work took a new turn with the creation of a Plantation Committee set up in the 1948. The ensuing debates among experts reconnected to issues such as the problem of unskilled and low-waged labour, the question of productivity, the unsatisfactory feeding and housing provisions, and the lack of a weekly rest day that had already been discussed in the early 1920s. They also tackled some long existing problems that had plagued plantation management such as the issue of exploited migrant agricultural labour, especially the forced recruitment and unfair engagement conditions of so-called contract labourers, resulting in an international convention.
“Synthetic brevity”
Authors: Merjian Ara H 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of Italian Futurism. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti’s Futurist movement championed the notion of synthetic brevity. Notwithstanding Marinetti’s cultural origins in nineteenth-century literature, art, and thought, he aimed to defy the authority of origins altogether. For all its professed contempt for the past, Futurism left a more enduring mark than perhaps any other avant-garde of the twentieth century, more particularly in its creative disdain for immortalization. Futurism wished to abolish cultural patrimony. How, then, do we approach the movement now that it forms part of European aesthetic and historical patrimony itself? The chapter explains that the Futurist rhetoric of youth and virility lent enormous impetus to Benito Mussolini’s Fascist revolution. It also notes how Futurism’s adherents swelled in number between the World Wars.
Futurisms, plural
Authors: Merjian Ara H 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter addresses Futurism’s influence on a range of international avant-gardes, from Dada to the Bauhaus. It notes how Futurist artists had adapted visual strategies from the Cubists by assimilating angular faceting, and how in turn the influence of Futurism was reflected in Russian typographic variations and confrontational performances with the aim of shaking up the conformity of bourgeois culture. The chapter describes how the movement’s nominative singularity belied various internal divisions, particularly with Florentine Futurism. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti and his followers had set no geographic limits to the expansion of World Futurism, so they considered its propagation merely to confirm a fundamentally Italian genius. The chapter argues that Futurism shifted modernist activity away from the unrivaled primacy of Paris.
Introduction
Authors: Robeyns Ingrid 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This introductory chapter describes the increasing call to pluralize political philosophy. This call is especially clear with respect to taking more seriously Global South philosophies and other non-Western philosophies. Yet the chapter makes the case for simultaneously examining the marginalization of some traditions within Western liberal political philosophy (such as care ethics, feminist political philosophy, and disability ethics), together with non-Western political philosophies. Since the volume focusses in particular on economic and ecological inequalities, the chapter also includes some empirical background on inequalities and discusses how the dominant analysis of these inequalities in liberal egalitarianism can fruitfully be complemented by many other approaches. The chapter concludes by listing the different type of assumptions that a political philosophy can entail.
Making and Remaking the Canon
Authors: Wolff Jonathan 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter explores what binds together ‘the canon’ in broadly analytic political philosophy, understood as the tradition of mostly book-length works from the Ancient Greeks to the present day that are considered worthy of sustained scholarly attention. The chapter’s suggestion is that the great majority of works in this tradition meet a certain internal standard of excellence of both responding to the political situation of their day and transcending that context by providing insights or other material that can be used in other contexts. The chapter distinguishes twelve ways in which such supersession can take place and suggests that understanding the general underlying motivation for including works in the canon will allow scholars to diversify the canon and include previously neglected thinkers and works, while nevertheless developing the canon in a way that maintains its integrity.
Ecofeminism and the Hope for Comprehensive Change
Authors: de Shalit Avner 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Ecofeminism is an umbrella term that refers to political theory, political ideology, and a political movement. Because it creatively combines various perspectives—environmental, species justice, feminist, anti-racist and anti-chauvinist ones—its contribution to environmental philosophy and political philosophy is priceless. The contribution is dual: it allows a critical review of our society, economics, and politics and is an original prescription for how to heal our society and the world at large. This chapter argues that, when it comes to solutions, there are two schools of thought in ecofeminism, one which suggests that we need to rely on women and their attitudes to the environment and one which looks for inspiration from feminist ideas and ideals, regardless of who (in terms of gender) believes in them. The chapter examines these two suggestions empirically and finds that the empirical research gives more robust support to the latter and rather weak support to the former.
Grounding Distributive Justice on an Ideal Family
Authors: Metz Thaddeus 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
One idea salient in the African and East Asian philosophical traditions is that the right sort of socio-political interaction would be similar to the intuitive ways that family members ought to relate to each other. Applying this perspective to economic and ecological inequalities, this chapter articulates some principles implicit in healthy familial relationships, shows what they entail for certain aspects of distributive justice at the national level, and contends that the implications are plausible relative to competing theories such as utilitarianism, Rawlsianism, and the Capabilities Approach. It concludes that reflection on familial norms indicates that certain goods of relationship and of life should be central to what the state distributes and that it should distribute them in a ‘balanced’ manner.
Diversities within Diversities
Authors: Tan Sor-hoon 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter adds to the perspectives from Chinese philosophical traditions on the issues of ecological and economic inequalities by drawing attention to recent works on Daoism offering views on ecological problems that differ from Chapter 6 of this volume. It also highlights a common theme that is found in several chapters in this volume: the importance of relationship. Starting from Confucian relational ethics, it offers a different perspective from Bai and others who defend Confucian hierarchy by questioning the opposition between egalitarianism and hierarchy. It argues that Confucianism strongly objects to certain kinds of inequalities, which would put it in sympathy with the arguments offered in this volume against the ecological and economic inequalities of contemporary neo-liberal global capitalism.
Addressing Pluralism
Authors: Pérez-Muñoz Cristian 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
How can Latin American political theorists actively participate in the call for pluralizing the discipline? This chapter argues that efforts to pluralize political theory have different implications for scholars in the periphery and scholars in more central institutions. These implications can be seen in terms of teaching, research, and service. Using the case of Latin America, this chapter briefly explains some of the challenges and opportunities that political theorists of the region may face when participating in the call for pluralism.
Discursive Parameters in Sacred Songs (1600–1650)
Authors: Gordon Catherine E 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Chapter 2 first establishes the history of sacred songs in the vernacular and describes exemplary collections of sacred songs and their significance in formulating criteria for analysis applied to publications after 1650. An analysis of the sacred songs themselves as well as the collections’ introductions reveals why music was used to reach out to lay women. While early seventeenth-century collections focused on using music to combat the spread of Protestantism, later publications targeted the libertine influences of secular songs. The chapter also focuses on the establishment over time of several other trends: (1) the shift in social horizon toward women; (2) the shift in function from educational to devotional and recreational; (3) the shift away from the provinces to Paris and polite society, particularly those associated with the royal court; and (4) the shift away from multi-voice settings to solo songs.
The Dictators’ Club
Authors: Debre Maria J 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter develops the central theoretical argument based on a rational institutionalist account of international cooperation of authoritarian regimes. It argues that autocratic regimes will commit to institutionalized forms of cooperation to enhance their joint preference of regime survival through membership in dictator clubs. The chapter further theorizes three causal processes that link membership in dictator clubs and authoritarian regime survival. These include resource redistribution toward incumbent elites to strengthen their power vis-à-vis domestic challengers, the regulation of non-interference to protect from regional challengers, and shielding from the fallout from international sanctions to lower the risk of employing costly survival strategies.
Revivals of Classical Drama in Greece and Spain (1860s–1970s)
Authors: Balaskas Vasileios 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This book explores the revival of classical drama at ancient venues as a sociopolitical apparatus of the European nation-states in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The modern use of Graeco-Roman theatres, odeons, amphitheatres, and stadiums depended on social or artistic influences and interconnections. In particular, the Spanish and Greek cases developed parallelly and addressed similar sociopolitical concepts, while the Italian example served as a model for their theatrical tradition in the first decades of the twentieth century. In theatrical terms, this book argues that the repertoire and orientation of classical drama were influenced by (inter)national trends, while power relations among theatrical directors, companies, and institutions determined the course of these artistic traditions. Staging classical drama in Greece and Spain transformed Graeco-Roman venues into sociopolitical powerhouses that generated collective narratives, theatrical modernisation, and economic development. Despite the distinct degree of ideological engagement with classical culture, political conditions in Greece and Spain during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries offer a space for reflection and critical comparison. In this context, this study discusses how historical realities led to the staging of classical drama at Graeco-Roman venues and how each country appropriated and showcased this classical heritage as sociopolitical capital.
Thanatopolitics
Authors: Balaskas Vasileios 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Chapter 3 analyses the theatrical productions of classical drama during and after the Second World War, beginning with a critical assessment of the events as artistic phenomena that exercise power and authority. It explores how Italian fascism and German Nazism controlled artistic production and instituted the cultural policy of Greece and Spain. In the early post-war period, the economic, social, and humanitarian crisis that the successive wars provoked led to the consolidation of authoritative regimes that imposed a formalistic perception of theatre. A critical point of discussion in this regard is the staging of classical theatre as a national spectacle. This section of Chapter 3 presents and discusses how the fascist or fascistized use of classical venues in the early 1940s gave way to a conservative political terrain that created its national myths, heroes, and legends.
Festivalization and National Spectacles
Authors: Balaskas Vasileios 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Chapter 4 uses available archival material as a source for revisiting the production of classical drama in the 1950s. It examines the close affinity between the modern tourist phenomenon and a growing cosmopolitan perception of classical theatre. It is argued that in this period, institutional policies marked a milestone in the consolidation of the theatrical tradition of classical drama. The festivalization of culture is analysed as a key feature in the performances of the 1950s and 1960s when the systematic production of classical drama created festivals with international reach that were directed at the bourgeois public. This critical analysis allows the reader to follow the socio-cultural shifts of the theatrical productions in Greece and Spain, observe their politicized nature, and recognize artistic and (inter)national patterns. These newly established festivals of ancient drama sought their identification as national exceptionalisms.
Populist Radical Right-wing Parties and the Working Class
Authors: Castater Eric G , Han Kyung Joon 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter establishes the conceptual and empirical foundations for subsequent chapters of the book. Although populist radical right-wing parties have received ample attention in the comparative politics literature, there remains scholarly disagreement about the exact nature of these parties and the appropriate label to apply to them. Thus, the first section of the chapter explains why we have chosen the ‘populist radical right’ party label, identifies the key characteristics of these parties, and provides a list of those populist radical right-wing parties examined in this book. The second section discusses the economic challenges confronted by blue-collar workers in Western Europe in recent decades, as well as the shifting political landscape these workers find themselves situated within. The third section utilizes survey data to compare blue-collar worker support for the populist radical right to other occupational groups (small business owners and middle-class professionals).
Concluding Remarks
Authors: Castater Eric G , Han Kyung Joon 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
This chapter concludes the book by summarizing its theoretical contribution and empirical results, as well as by delving deeper into the implications of the book for politics in wealthy democracies and the comparative political economy literature. The book provides an implication on the study of economic inequality by implying that economic inequality is self-reinforcing because it weakens the class identity of people who belong to the lower socio-economic class and even dismantles institutional bases that promote economic equality such as trade unions and corporatist institutions. The book also implies that higher inequality is contributing to the ‘crisis of democracy’ in Western Europe and the United States by leading the working class to focus more on social change and cultural issues, areas where their lower levels of formal education make them more susceptible to prejudice and authoritarian inclinations.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Medication review is integral in the pharmacological management of older inpatients.

Objective
To assess the association of in-hospital medication changes with 28-day postdischarge clinical outcomes.

Methods
Retrospective cohort of 2000 inpatients aged ≥75 years. Medication changes included the number of increases (medications started or dose-increased) and decreases (medications stopped or dose-decreased) for (i) all medications, (ii) Drug Burden Index (DBI)–contributing medications and (iii) Beers Criteria 2015 medications (potentially inappropriate medications, PIMs). Changes also included differences in (i) the number of medications, (ii) the number of PIMs and (iii) DBI score, at discharge versus admission. Associations with clinical outcomes (28-day ED visit, readmission and mortality) were ascertained using logistic regression, adjusted for age, gender and principal diagnosis. For mortality, sensitivity analysis excluded end-of-life patients due to higher death risk. Patients were stratified into : (i) ≤4, (ii) 5–9 and (iii) ≥10 discharge medications.

Results
The mean age was 86 years (SD = 5.8), with 59.1% female. Medication changes reduced ED visits and readmission risk for patients prescribed five to nine discharge medications, with no associations in patients prescribed ≤4 and ≥ 10 medications. In the five to nine medications group, decreasing PIMs reduced risks of ED visit (adjusted odds ratio, aOR 0.55, 95% CI 0.34–0.91, P = .02) and readmission (aOR 0.62, 95% CI 0.38–0.99, P = .04). Decreasing DBI-contributing medications reduced readmission risk (aOR 0.71, 95% CI 0.51–0.99, P = .04). Differences in PIMs reduced ED visit risk (aOR 0.65, 95% CI 0.43–0.99, P = .04). There were no associations with mortality in sensitivity analyses in all groups.

Discussion
Medication changes were associated with reduced ED visits and readmission for patients prescribed five to nine discharge medications.
MUSET: Set of utilities for constructing abundance unitig matrices from sequencing data
Authors: Vicedomini Riccardo , Andreace Francesco , Dufresne Yoann , Chikhi Rayan , Duitama González Camila 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Summary
MUSET is a novel set of utilities designed to efficiently construct abundance unitig matrices from sequencing data. Unitig matrices extend the concept of k-mer matrices by merging overlapping k-mers that unambiguously belong to the same sequence. MUSET addresses the limitations of current software by integrating k-mer counting and unitig extraction to generate unitig matrices containing abundance values, as opposed to only presence-absence in previous tools. These matrices preserve variations between samples while reducing disk space and the number of rows compared to k-mer matrices. We evaluated MUSET’s performance using datasets derived from a 618-GB collection of ancient oral sequencing samples, producing a filtered unitig matrix that records abundances in less than 10 hours and 20 GB memory.

Availability and Implementation
MUSET is open source and publicly available under the AGPL-3.0 licence in GitHub at https://github.com/CamilaDuitama/muset. Source code is implemented in C ++ and provided with kmat_tools, a collection of tools for processing k-mer matrices. Version v0.5.1 is available on Zenodo with DOI 10.5281/zenodo.14164801.
