Synthetic X-ray emission from white dwarf accreting planetary material
Authors: Estrada-Dorado S , Lora V , Toalá J A , Esquivel A , Guerrero M A , Maldonado R F , Chu Y-H 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT
The emission of hard X-rays associated with white dwarfs (WDs) can be generated by the presence of a stellar companion, either by the companion’s coronal emission or by an accretion disc formed by the material stripped from the companion. Recent studies have suggested that a Jupiter-like planet can also be a donor of the material whose accretion on to the WD can generate hard X-rays. We use the guacho code to reproduce the conditions of this WD–planet scenario. With the example of the hard X-ray WD KPD 0005+5106, we explore different terminal wind velocities and mass-loss rates of a donor planet for a future network of simulations to investigate the luminosity and the spectral and temporal properties of the hard X-ray emission in the WD–planet systems. Our simulations show that the material stripped from the planet forms a disc and accretes on to the WD to reach temperatures high enough to generate hard X-rays as usually seen in X-ray binaries with low-mass companions. For high terminal wind velocities, the planet material does not form a disc, but it rather accretes directly on to the WD surface. The simulations reproduce the X-ray luminosity of another X-ray accreting WD (G 29-38), and only sometimes reaches the hard X-ray luminosity of KPD 0005+5106. The X-ray variability is stochastic and does not reproduce the period of KPD 0005+5106, suggesting that the additional physical processes (e.g. hot spots resulting from magnetic channelling of the accreting material) need to be explored.
Introduction
Authors: Alonso-Minutti Ana R. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This introductory chapter characterizes Mario Lavista as a relational composer and his music as a social space. Lavista’s music intersects with the other arts, especially poetry and painting. The different references present in Lavista’s music—musical or otherwise—interact with each other in a multiform affective communion made possible through their echoes and reflections bouncing back and forth between them. Therefore, the book’s titular metaphor mirrors of sounds can be particularly useful in addressing the relational affective powers at play in Lavista’s music. Undertaking analysis as a subjective exercise rooted in affective processes, the chapter draws attention to the sociality of emotions that surfaces when entering the social space of Lavista’s music and examines the intertextual dimension at play. This chapter includes a brief sketch of the composer’s life and the book’s overarching goals.
Riotous Nations
Authors: Varma Rashmi 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Partition of the Indian sub-continent into India and Pakistan in 1947 on the eve of their independence from British colonial rule has come to be figured as the founding wound of the two nation states in the political, literary, and cultural imagination of South Asia. In the violence that preceded and accompanied the formation of borders between India and Pakistan, more than ten million people were displaced, more than a million perished, and tens of thousands of women were abducted as families, communities, and neighbourhoods were torn asunder. This chapter reads the figure of the riot in short stories about the communal violence that engulfed India and Pakistan during the Partition of 1947. It approaches the riot through a dialectical reading of what Benjamin called ‘the empty homogeneous time’ of the nation and the ‘profane’ time of revolutionary upsurge. The chapter also argues for the salience of the short story genre as it formally registers the dissonance and displacement caused by widespread rioting in the lead-up to, and aftermath of, the Partition.
The existing literature and a first set of arguments
Authors: Grigorescu Alexandru V. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The chapter offers a broad literature review of works that are connected to the main question and arguments of the study. It begins by considering the political theory literature on fear of concentrated power and on institutional restraints within states, in particular the work of John Locke. It then offers a summary of comparative politics scholarship on the evolution of domestic power restraints, especially the ones discussing early national institutions and comparative authoritarianism. The discussion of the international relations literature begins with a summary of liberal approaches and emphasizes the lack of attention to the Lockean theme of institutional power restraints. It notes some important related works such as those of John Ikenberry and Daniel Deudney, showing how the present study differs from existing ones. The chapter concludes by extracting a set of five main arguments from the broad body of literature discussed earlier.
A global framework to govern military AI: Transnational networked cooperation and common good governance
Authors: Garcia Denise 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The concluding chapter lays out the framework for creating a common good governance-based framework to govern military AI, viewed as a global public good. It sets out three pillars. The first is an emerging international norm on the peaceful uses of AI that includes a human-centered approach for future generations, AI as a global common, and a new international treaty on autonomous weapons. The second pillar is a risk assessment and precautionary action framework that involves an assessment of the risk of global strategic instability, and common concern for humanity. The third pillar is anchored in lessons learned from previous instances of successful global cooperation in two domains. The first domain examined encompasses ocean law, ozone layer healing, cooperation in the Arctic and in the Antarctica, outer space cooperation, and the prohibition of nuclear tests. The second domain considers lessons from previous regulations and prohibitions in methods of warfare. It closes with a summation of the concepts of common good governance and humanity’s security that the volume proffers.
Pandemic Population Surveillance
Authors: Sorell Tom 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Covid-19 surveillance should not be seen as one more instance of centralized state surveillance of populations, as if it were an intensification of a single trend started with bulk collection by the NSA and GCHQ for counter-terrorist purposes. On the contrary, in some of its intense forms it is strongly disanalogous morally to bulk collection and its associated data analytics for preventing terrorist attacks. Covid-19 surveillance is open to a strong moral justification, tied to the status of virology and epidemiology as sciences, and the strong independent justifiability of public health measures. Although at its most effective, surveillance has been unnecessarily intrusive, the ethics of Covid-19 surveillance is not primarily to be judged by privacy considerations, but by its connections to sufficiently inclusive, properly timed, and accurate tests of the presence of the virus.
Epistemic Dimensions of Surveillance in Public Health Emergencies
Authors: Hutchison Katrina , Johnson Jane 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Public health emergencies—whether pandemics, natural, or human-caused disasters—give rise to distinct knowledge needs and sometimes justify new or invasive forms of data gathering and surveillance to meet these needs. In this chapter we focus on the knowledge-related aspects of surveillance for public health emergencies. We argue that distinctive features of public health emergencies can give rise to epistemic injustices, including testimonial injustices and dysfunctions associated with trust. If unaddressed, these threaten not only the fairness and moral acceptability of the public health response but also the epistemic goals of public health surveillance. That is, inattention to epistemic injustices in public health emergencies can undermine the ability of authorities to collect essential data needed to manage the emergency and ensure public safety.
An Unexceptional Theory of Morally Proportional Surveillance in Exceptional Circumstances
Authors: Thomsen Frej Klem 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Proponents of pandemic surveillance initiatives often point to the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic constituted a global health emergency, and explicitly or implicitly claim that exceptional situations justify measures that would ordinarily be impermissible. This chapter explores the notion of exceptionalism, to argue for a quantitative difference view of exceptions. According to this view, the only difference between states of emergency and ordinary circumstances is that the stakes are greater in a state of emergency. This entails that our account of morally permissible surveillance should be unexceptional: there is no clear-cut separation between ordinary circumstances and emergencies, but rather a spectrum between them. The chapter sketches an unexceptional theory of permissible surveillance in exceptional circumstances, offering definitions of key principles and discussing certain features of particular interest.
The extraordinary actions of ordinary people
Authors: Welsh Jennifer M. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This concluding chapter reflects on the gains of our comparative analysis of civilian protective agency across a range of conflict settings. It begins by returning to some of the conceptual issues arising from the chapters and the implications for how we specify the nature and boundaries of civilian protective agency as a field of study. It then moves on to synthesize findings about the dynamics and effects of civilian protective agency—including the conditions for those effects—as well as what we learn from our coverage of new dimensions of protective agency. In so doing, the chapter also reviews the methodological strategies of authors and discusses the extent of claims that can be made from different methodological approaches. The final section addresses normative questions emerging from the empirical analysis and potential opportunities and challenges for those seeking to assist civilians in the task of self-protection. The chapter concludes with suggestions for future research and forms of further inter-disciplinary collaboration.
Fragile dominance?
Authors: Hinfelaar Marja , Resnick Danielle , Sishuwa Sishuwa 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter tracks how the Patriotic Front (PF)—Zambia’s main opposition from 2006 to 2011—shifted its strategies of dealing with the urban poor, civil society, and the middle class, in order to manage its vulnerability. While all three groups fully supported the PF in 2011, they slowly became disenchanted with the party. In 2021, they and other Zambians turned out in record numbers to vote in an election that ousted the PF. We contextualize these dynamics in the broader political landscape, relying on historical processing tracing, in-depth interviews, and a survey with informal traders. The chapter demonstrates how and why particular strategies for dominance emerge, where the threats to this dominance emerge, and why governing elites target particular groups for co-optive or coercive interventions. It concludes that the PF’s hold on Lusaka needed to be maintained if the party was going to retain the presidency in the 2021 elections.
Humans
Authors: Velarde Gissel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The fourth chapter presents current and future education paradigms that might develop humankind. It discusses challenges in education and teaching and reviews reported efficiency of educational methods, including Montessori and Problem-Based Learning. It describes successful studies on Growth Mindset and how it can be adopted by simply changing the way we speak. It reviews research on the effect of art studies and personal development as well as findings on extraordinary talented individuals. It envisions High-Performance Technology and Innovation Academies. Besides, it investigates how strategic projects can develop groups of people and presents exemplary projects in rural and indigenous communities. It showcases mindfulness as a beneficial practice gaining momentum in educational and work environments. The chapter returns to human development through education, reviewing previous and contemporary movements. It revises principles of Humanism and Neo-Humanism. It also presents more recent trends called Transhumanism and Posthumanism that seek fundamental changes in the human species thanks to technology. Finally, the chapter reviews studies on happiness and describes ultrahumans.
Non-canonical word order
Authors: Trotzke Andreas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Chapter 4 is the first chapter of the syntactic part of the book; it first discusses key aspects of the interplay between word order, prosody, and information structure, and then turns to the phenomenon of wh-in-situ and echo questions, focusing on languages where this syntactic word order results in non-canonical readings. The next section in this chapter deals with declarative questions, another domain where the word order of questions in many languages differs from that of canonical question speech acts. The last empirical phenomenon Chapter 4 looks at is non-canonical frontings in questions (i.e., non-canonical word orders involving the periphery of the clause).
Non-canonical wh-elements
Authors: Trotzke Andreas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Chapter 5 discusses a set of non-canonical wh-constituents that yield non-canonical interpretations in questions. Specifically, this chapter first illustrates why-like-what elements and demonstrates that they differ from regular why-questions. After that, Chapter 5 explores extreme degree readings of wh-elements in utterances with interrogative syntax. In this context, it is argued that exclamatory readings can be found across speech acts, analogous to other discourse-relevant interpretations (e.g., information structure) that can be found below illocutionary force in the functional hierarchy of the clause. Finally, the chapter presents some cross-linguistic data on so-called how come questions and proposes an analysis to account for them.
Non-canonical questions, expressivity, and the model of communication
Authors: Trotzke Andreas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Chapter 10 ends the book with a new proposal for how to account for the phenomenon of non-canonical questions at the level of fundamental functions of human language. It first elaborates on different notions of expressivity of language and proposes a distinction between two fundamental types of expressivity, allowing us to think of discourse phenomena like information structure, on the one hand, and emotional aspects of meaning, on the other hand, in a new and unified way. Given this new account of the expressive function of language, Chapter 10 then turns to the addressee-oriented function of language, where language is viewed within the context of a model of communication. The chapter explores to what extent this view allows us to account for non-canonical as well as indirect speech acts more generally.
Introduction
Authors: Engler Sarah 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter introduces centrist anti-establishment parties (CAPs) and their main struggle once they have won their first elections. CAPs successfully challenge mainstream parties by accusing them of being dishonest, although, unlike radical parties, they do not attack them on ideological grounds. In Central and Eastern Europe, CAPs frequently win large numbers of votes but seldom survive more than one electoral cycle. The chapter discusses why existing theories of party survival such as those focusing on ideological distinctiveness and party organization—both scarce among CAPs—explain CAPs’ struggles but not why some manage to persist. The chapter derives three strategies of survival and argues that the loss of newness, which is the only characteristic that initially set CAPs apart from the establishment, makes a change in strategy inevitable. It then introduces a new expert survey on anti-corruption and anti-establishment rhetoric, which makes it possible to measure CAPs’ electoral strategies over time.
The Social in Social Science
Authors: Davis Cross Mai'a K. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The third chapter explores the social in the social sciences and its contribution to understanding international cooperation. Cognitive and social psychology, anthropology, sociology, and ecology have much to say about the human drive to cooperate in terms of learning, teaching, norms, and perceptions. Much of this research converges on recognition of the human capacity to empathize, communicate, and improve our collective lives on Earth. At the same time, some of this work also identifies the antisocial qualities of which we are capable and, specifically, how our ultrasocial nature can also be lured into tribalism. The social sciences bring us closest to an understanding of the politics of international relations as they shed light on human behavior and social interaction on a broader scale.
In an Ultrasocial World, Certain Ideas Matter More
Authors: Davis Cross Mai'a K. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The fourth chapter turns to international relations and builds a bridge from these other disciplines to a new understanding of how our species behaves on a global, political scale. Evidence from biology, evolution, neuroscience, cognitive science, anthropology, sociology, and psychology has emerged, documenting various dimensions of the surprising human propensity to be “good” and to strive to create good societies. This chapter scales up these findings to the international level. It argues that the ultrasocial landscape provides the context from which ideas emerge, making change and progress possible. Ideas are not all created equal: those that engage our capacity for transcendence, provide an optimistic vision, and tap into our imagined reality tend to be more appealing. These ideas are more likely to resonate with ultrasocial inclinations, to captivate, and to spur to action a sufficient swath of society to effect change.
The Net Zero Idea and the Race to Save the Earth
Authors: Davis Cross Mai'a K. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter traces the emergence of the net-zero idea and the early development of the climate movement. Drawing upon the author’s own participant observation at the 2015 UN Paris climate summit (COP21), this chapter sheds light on the lead-up to COP21 and the Paris Agreement itself to explain how and why the climate movement became galvanized around the idea of net zero. The net-zero idea became so powerful that various facets of civil society set aside differences to work toward a common goal. Local and regional initiatives to tackle climate change also blossomed. The climate movement, their transformational idea of net zero, and worrying real-world, climate-induced changes have made this an impossible issue for governments to ignore.
Introduction
Authors: Schmidt Oliver , Staffell Iain 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter outlines the case for why energy storage will be a crucial component of twenty-first-century energy systems, and thus the motivation for this book. It introduces the urgent societal need to mitigate climate change by transforming the electricity and transport sectors. It then focuses on the key challenge facing greater uptake of wind and solar power, and a key driver for investment in energy storage: the need for flexibility to complement the variability in their output. The key flexibility options are outlined: flexible generation, network interconnection, and demand-side response, placing energy storage into the wider context within future power systems. The chapter concludes by showcasing the scale of the transformation required when replacing the fossil fuel reserves that currently balance energy demand and supply.
Market value
Authors: Schmidt Oliver , Staffell Iain 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter develops methods to determine the potential revenue for providing any electricity storage application. It reviews the value that storage can access in four major electricity markets: the US, the Great Britain, Germany, Australia. These revenues are compared with lifetime cost to determine the potential profitability of any technology in any application. The chapter then focuses on the largest bulk application, energy arbitrage, using an economic dispatch model to explore the interactions between storage and electricity markets, focusing on revenue cannibalization, and market power. Lastly, the prominent topic of revenue stacking is conceptualized and discussed, with a guided walk through the steps of conducting a financial appraisal of electricity storage projects. A worked example tied to www.EnergyStorage.ninja&gt; allows readers to analyse the financial viability of providing arbitrage, and the influence of technology performance on its profitability.
System value
Authors: Schmidt Oliver , Staffell Iain 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Storage does not only offer private value to investors, but also public value to society by reducing the cost of decarbonizing power systems. This chapter introduces research into the ‘system value’ of storage and conducts a meta-analysis of how much storage and flexible capacity is needed in power systems to accommodate increasing reliance on variable renewable generation. These findings are generalized to give global implications for how much storage the world’s power systems may need in the coming decades. The chapter then goes on to consider the larger issue of completely eliminating fossil fuels from the power sector. It introduces a simple framework to assess how much storage is required to allow wind and solar power to meet 100% of hourly electricity demand. A worked example tied to www.EnergyStorage.ninja&gt; allows for the individual assessment of future flexibility requirements.
Models and Gauge
Authors: Read James 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter introduces a number of important concepts from the philosophy of science which will be crucial for a rigorous study of background independence going forward. In particular, it discusses different classes of ‘models’ of scientific theories, and what’s meant by philosophers when they talk about ‘gauge redundancies’ of physical theories. The chapter also looks at different interpretational attitudes toward symmetry-related models of physical theories: according to ‘intepretationalism’, symmetry-related models of physical theories can invariably be regarded as representing the same physical state of affairs; not so for ‘motivationalism’, according to which said models can only be regarded as representing the same physical state of affairs once one has provided a ‘metaphysically perspicuous characterization’ of their common ontology.
Classical Theories of Spacetime
Authors: Read James 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter assesses the background independence of various important classical spacetime theories, including general relativity, teleparallel gravity (which is a force theory of gravitation equivalent to general relativity), Newtonian gravity, Newton-Cartan theory (which is a curved spacetime theory of gravitation equivalent to ‘standard’ Newtonian gravity), Kaluza-Klein theory (which is a version of general relativity set in a higher number of spacetime dimensions, with a view to ‘unifying’ gravity and electromagnetism), and shape dynamics (which is an alternative to general relativity manifesting absolute simultaneity). In doing so, it gets clearer on the sense (if any) in which general relativity is (as is sometimes claimed) distinguished in virtue of its background independence: the verdict is that (a) this is not the case, but (b) appraisals of the background independence of all of the above theories are more delicate than one might expect.
