Design of test-chamber shape for portable electronic nose
Authors: Cai Jie , Ding Wendou , Wang Mei 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
To address environmental protection needs, enhancing the stability, reproducibility, and sensitivity of electronic noses is vital. In this study, two different three-dimensional test chamber models are designed, and three-dimensional computational fluid dynamic (CFD) is utilized to investigate the airflow behavior as it passes through the test chamber containing metal oxide gas sensors. The results show that the area of the high-velocity airflow distribution is increased in the improved chamber, and the airflow direction and magnitude above different sensors are more uniform. This allows the sensor array to be more effectively exposed to the airflow, thereby enhancing sensor sensitivity. Moreover, the recirculation region in the flow field is significantly reduced in size, and the gas concentration above the sensors changes more rapidly after gas introduction, leading to a substantial reduction in the sensor response time.
Vibration characteristics of the time-dependent stiffness oscillator system based on finite difference method
Authors: Zhang Yu , Wang Minqing , Guo Zhiwei , Sheng Meiping , Li Yinling 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The vibration characteristics of the time-dependent stiffness oscillator system are thoroughly studied in this research. A theoretical vibration calculation model of the time-dependent stiffness oscillator system is established to assess the time-dependent system’s vibration reduction performance. The finite element method results validated the accuracy of the proposed theoretical model. Additional results indicate that the periodic time-dependent stiffness destroys the system’s steady-state vibration response and achieves the dispersion of concentrated energy at the model frequency, which results in the vibration of the time-dependent stiffness oscillator system at the modal frequency being significantly reduced. The time-dependent system has given a new vibration-reduction method, which has great vibration-reduction prospects in the application in the future.
Relevance without Minimality
Authors: Yablo Stephen 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this chapter, Stephen Yablo develops a theory of the concept of the relevance of a circumstance to an outcome. He takes as his starting point the minimal sufficiency model of relevance, according to which a circumstance is relevant to an outcome if it forms part of some circumstance that (i) suffices for that outcome and (ii) has no proper part which would also suffice for that outcome. But the minimal sufficiency model encounters problems when one considers infinitary cases. To solve these problems, Yablo appeals to the notion of ways in which a circumstance can obtain. This allows him to define a graded notion of sufficiency, such that a circumstance might have parts which are sufficient for an outcome without being as sufficient for that outcome. Incorporating the idea of graded sufficiency into the minimal sufficiency model gives us the idea that a circumstance is relevant to an outcome if it forms part of some circumstance that (i) suffices for that outcome and (ii) has no proper part which suffices for that outcome as fully.
Introduction
Authors: Boyd Neil 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Recent psychological and management science shows that it is important to build community at work. Answers regarding the building of community at work generally eluded researchers and practitioners until conceptual and empirical analyses were conducted in the past decade or so. The book explores my journey as a scientist and consultant on the topic of community at work, and I hope that my efforts over the years can inspire and help you on your journey to conceive and implement practices that can enhance a culture of community in organizations.
Amanda’s Journey Begins and the Concept of Community
Authors: Boyd Neil 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Since the beginning of management, employees and managers alike have been searching for ways to be happy and productive at work. The academic study and application of research findings in this area began with the famous Hawthorne studies, grew exponentially during the quality-of-work-life movement of the 1960s, and continue to be something of a holy-grail topic for managers and scholars today. Among the plethora of concepts and models that attempt to explain how to create emotionally satisfying and behaviorally productive work settings, it is ironic that the topic of community at work has been underexplored. Anecdotally, when asked what people like about their workplace, it is not uncommon to hear sentiments emphasizing communal relationships such as “Here, I’m part of a community” or “We’re like a family.” In recent years, management scholars have given increased attention to the topic of developing communities in organizational settings.
Putting It All Together and Building Community
Authors: Boyd Neil 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The chapter explores how to create communities at work and shares practical insights on how employees and managers can achieve it. It explains how to begin measuring, studying, and designing communities at work. Communities at work can shape a better future where employees can experience thriving lives, and where managers can satisfy goals under their charge. Considering that large numbers of employees are unhappy with their work and work contexts, developing communities at work might just be one of the most pressing problems facing management today. Engaging in academic learning and research in a search for a greater understanding of community in many organizations can aid in the creation of work communities.
The Emergence of the Basque Peace Movement
Authors: Argomaniz Javier 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter sheds light on why sustained collective action against ETA in the Basque region did not occur until the mid-1980s. This period is when changes in the political opportunity structure (the creation of a united front by the main Basque parties on the question of terrorism) facilitated the growth of the Basque peace movement. Chapter 3 discusses the origins and evolution of the movement, analyzing its strategies, goals, framing processes, repertoire of contention, and organizational structure. It highlights the normative entrepreneurship and the socialization function these social actors played and how their ideational work undermined ETA’s pillars of support. Focusing on the work of the two major peace organizations (Gesto por la Paz and Elkarri), the chapter explores how their activism systematized the social response to terrorism, improving on the intermittent and ad-hoc public reactions that had characterized the period before their arrival.
The “Peace Process,” Civil Action, and ETA’s End
Authors: Argomaniz Javier 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Chapter 5 explores the process of consultation within the Izquierda Abertzale that shifted the movement away from the armed struggle by persuading a cornered ETA leadership to abandon its faltering campaign. The chapter focuses on how the civil society organization Lokarri (Elkarri’s successor) influenced the long internal deliberations that led to the abertzale’s eventual renunciation of violence. Their work with international mediators and abertzale politicians in the so-called peace process created a framework that allowed ETA to announce a permanent cessation of activities in 2011. In a similar vein, the contribution at a later stage (2011–2018) by other civil society organizations—Lokarri’s successor (Foro Social), Bake Bidea, and Artisans of Peace—served to smooth out the final stages of the process and facilitate ETA’s disarmament.
Identities Matter
Authors: Ju Angela 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Identities Matter: Politics of Immigration and Incorporation investigates how grandchildren of immigrants belonging to groups that have achieved high socioeconomic status choose which identities to leverage in the host country’s political arena. The two groups upon which this study focuses are Japanese Brazilians and Jewish Brazilians. While the scholarship on political incorporation often assumes that minoritized populations want to integrate into the mainstream society, this study finds that these two groups often leverage their social identities based on the type of discrimination they experience. One central paradox is that although more Jewish Brazilians expressed believing that there is discrimination against Jewish people in Brazil than Japanese Brazilians believing that there is discrimination against Japanese people in Brazil, more Japanese Brazilians reported that there is discrimination against the color/racial category with which they identify than Jewish Brazilians. This paradox regarding beliefs about discrimination explains the higher propensity for ethnic voting among Jewish Brazilian interviewees when compared to Japanese Brazilian interviewees and the greater support for racial quota programs among Japanese Brazilian interviewees when compared to Jewish Brazilian interviewees. These two groups, rather than pursue strategies of political and social integration, have sought to leverage ties with their Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries of association to increase their prestige and status within existing racial and ethnic hierarchies in Brazil, a developing country.
Identities of Japanese Brazilians and Jewish Brazilians
Authors: Ju Angela 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter introduces the book’s central question: why do two third-generation Brazilian groups of high socioeconomic status pursue politics and leverage their social identities differently? It articulates the argument of the book that integration is not necessarily desired or advantageous to descendants of immigrant groups who are associated with countries that are currently more economically developed than their host country. The chapter discusses case selection reasoning for the city of São Paulo, the country of Brazil, and the Japanese and Jewish communities. It also provides the historical context of Japanese and Jewish immigration into Brazil, Japan–Brazil and Israel–Brazil relations, and an explanation of the book’s research design. The chapter concludes with synopses of the chapters in the book.
Leveraging Identities with Associated Countries
Authors: Ju Angela 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter demonstrates how ethnic community-based organizations link the political interests of both Brazil and the heritage countries to the social interests of the Japanese Brazilian and Jewish Brazilian communities. Case studies of Japanese Brazilian and Jewish Brazilian ethnic community-based organizations, the Centro de Informação e Apoio ao Trabalhador no Exterior (Center of Information to the Worker Abroad) and the Confederação Israelita do Brasil (Israelite Confederation of Brazil) are introduced. While participating in these organizations may reinforce the perceived foreignness of Brazilians of Japanese and Jewish heritage, these transnational organizations enhance the prestige of these communities in Brazil. An adaptation of Margaret Keck and Kathryn Sikkink’s (1998) four categories of transnational politics (information politics, symbolic politics, leverage politics, and accountability politics) explains the efficacy of the ethnic community-based organizations.
Introduction: Appraising Concepts
Authors: Queloz Matthieu 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Underscoring the importance of the demand for reasons to reason in certain terms, this chapter introduces the book’s overall project—to develop a needs-based framework for concept appraisal—and motivates its focus on thick normative concepts. By tightly linking certain empirical conditions to certain normative consequences, such concepts inexorably drive us towards certain beliefs, which makes them powerful tools of influence; at the same time, they are sociohistorically variable, leaving us more freedom not to think in those terms at all. This makes such concepts particularly liable to raise the question of why to prefer them over alternatives. An overview of the book’s structure and themes rounds out the introduction. If the primary theme of the book is reasons for concept use, its secondary theme is how the demand for such reasons drives foundationalist theorizing and the tidy-minded pursuit of theoretical virtues, and why these should sometimes be resisted.
Confidence, Reflection, and Knowledge
Authors: Queloz Matthieu 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Setting out from the phenomenon of concept loss, this chapter develops the notion of confidence in concepts. Confidence sustains engaged concept use. When shaken by confrontations with alternative ways of thinking, however, confidence comes to require reasons—especially when the confrontations invite reflection on the contingency of our concepts more than they invite moral appraisal requiring engaged concept use. This creates room for a helpful form of relativism. The chapter then considers how reflection on the contingency of concepts affects the knowledge possessed under these concepts. Drawing on the notion of confidence, a plausible interpretation of Williams’s notorious thesis that reflection can destroy knowledge is advanced. But it is argued that this epistemic loss can be our ethical gain, and that, pace Williams, reflection can also strengthen our confidence by yielding a different form of knowledge: the metaconceptual knowledge that the concepts in question are the right ones for us.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Exposure to manufactured nanomaterials (MNs) is a growing concern for occupational health and safety. Reliable methods for assessing and predicting MN exposure are essential to mitigate associated risks. This study presents the development of the Nano Exposure Quantifier (NEQ), a mechanistic model designed to assess airborne MN exposure in the workplace. By utilizing a dataset of 128 MN measurements from existing exposure studies, the model demonstrates its effectiveness in estimating MN exposure levels for particles smaller than 10 µm. The NEQ provides estimates in terms of particle number concentration accompanied by a 95% confidence interval (CI), enabling a comprehensive assessment of MN exposure. The NEQ includes 2 quantitative models: a simplified tier 1 model and a more comprehensive tier 2 model. Both tier 1 and tier 2 models exhibit robust performance, with correlation coefficients (r) of 0.57 and 0.62, respectively. The models exhibit a moderate level of error, as indicated by residuals’ standard deviation of 4.10 for tier 1 and 3.90 for tier 2. The tier 1 model demonstrates a slightly higher overestimation bias (1.15) compared to the tier 2 model (0.54). Overall, the NEQ offers a practical and reliable approach for estimating MN exposure in occupational settings. Future validation studies will investigate the impact of initial calibration efforts, heteroscedasticity, and further refine the model’s accuracy.
Associations between cumulative poverty and children’s academic outcomes: Absolute versus relative poverty
Authors: Lee Kyunghee 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study examines associations between poverty, measured as absolute or relative poverty, and children’s test scores using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth data to determine (1) whether adverse influences of poverty on test scores would be similar by relative versus absolute guidelines and (2) whether this would become greater as children grow older. After variable selection and data alignment, corresponding to children’s ages, this study used a linear mixed model including both fixed and random effects. The gaps (marginal mean difference) between poor and non-poor increase when measured for absolute poverty than for relative poverty (Beta-coefficients for absolute poverty, −1.99 and −2.26 and relative poverty, −0.71 and −0.96, for math and reading, respectively). Early test scores (5–6) are positively associated with scores measured at later ages (elven to twelve years). Race/ethnicity, maternal education and cognitive test scores, family support, number of children, and birth year were shown to impact children’s scores. The official definition of absolute poverty in the USA determines eligibility for government means-tested assistance programs. The eligibility requirement should be increased to match the relative poverty line by allocating at least the same amount per person for each child equal to an adult and by adjusting marginally increased amount for older children.
Research on the application of deep learning in low-carbon supply chain management
Authors: Zhao Tian , Lou Junting 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study proposes a deep learning-based framework to improve the efficiency and sustainability of LCSCM. Firstly, a multi-scale time series decomposition LSTM (MS-TDLSTM) model is proposed, which combines empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and attention mechanism to capture multi-scale characteristics of carbon emission data. Secondly, a multi-objective optimization model based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) is designed. Through soft constraint multi-objective reinforcement learning, the prediction and optimization processes are integrated into a unified system, and intelligent decision-making of LCSCM is realized.
Mythologized Counter-Futures and Self-Protective Consumption: A Netnography of Doomsday Preppers
Authors: Jones Hunter , Arnould Eric J 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Despite recognizing several ways consumers respond to perceived systemic risk scenarios, prior research emphasizes a general trend toward the privatization of risk, in which individual consumers are responsibilized for managing systemic risk scenarios through their consumption. However, prior work in this area blurs the distinction between responsibilized consumption aimed at self-protection versus preventing or reducing the likelihood of risk scenarios. Moreover, it does not explain how many consumers come to prioritize the former over the latter. To explore how this occurs, this netnography investigates doomsday preppers, consumers preparing for perceived catastrophic and systemic risk scenarios by stockpiling consumer goods, acquiring prosumptive knowledge, and cultivating survival skills. Drawing from the marketplace myths literature, this article introduces the concept of mythologized counter-futures to illustrate how preppers mobilize marketplace myths to socially construct future risk scenarios. Through mythic prefiguration, many preppers’ mythologized counter-futures ameliorate anxiety associated with vulnerability-inducing systemic risk scenarios and pattern anticipatory consumption toward self-protective consumption rather than risk-scenario preventive consumption. The analysis makes novel contributions to the literature on the social construction of risk, consumer responsibilization, consumer vulnerability, consumer timework, and marketplace myths.
Dynamics of price formation on complex networks
Authors: Civilini Andrea , Latora Vito 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Networks mediate our economic interactions. From spatial networks representing transportation routes, to more abstract networks of similarity among products, we interact, trade, and compete over networks with a complex structure. Nevertheless, classical economic models of how prices are formed under competition, such as the Edgeworth and the Hotelling models, completely neglect the network structure of real markets. Here, we introduce a dynamical model of price formation, where sellers and buyers are placed on the nodes of a network with any arbitrarily complex topology. Buyers are modeled as random walkers with perfect or limited information about the market, and their distribution depends on the prices and positions of sellers. Concurrently, sellers dynamically adjust their prices to maximize their payoff, based on the current distribution of buyers. These two dynamical processes coevolve and we show that, depending on the positions of the sellers and on the level of information available to the buyers, the model can either converge to fixed prices, or produce cycles of different amplitudes and periods, similar to those observed in real-world markets. By unveiling how competition depends dynamically on the structure of a market, our model allows to quantify the strength of competition in real-world markets and also to identify the most profitable locations for a seller. We use urban street patterns of different cities from all over the world, as examples of spatial networks, to illustrate a novel measure of node centrality, which ranks nodes based on the payoff earned by a seller placed on that node.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Adverse drug reactions pose a significant threat to patient safety and public health and often become apparent only after widespread clinical use. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis is a valuable tool that can be used to infer causality by using genetic variants as instrumental variables, which can predict the occurrence of adverse drug reactions before they occur. Compared with traditional observational studies, MR Analysis can reduce the potential bias of confounding factors. This article reviews the principles of MR Analysis and its application in the prediction of adverse drug reactions, the challenges and future directions, and summarizes how to harness the power of this innovative epidemiological method to put us at the forefront of improving drug safety assessment and personalized medicine.
