Taste Fragmentalism
Authors: Spolaore Giuseppe , Iaquinto Samuele , Torrengo Giuliano 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis paper explores taste fragmentalism, a novel approach to matters of taste and faultless disagreement. The view is inspired by Kit Fine’s fragmentalism about time, according to which the temporal dimension can be constituted—in an absolute manner—by states that are pairwise incompatible, provided that they do not obtain together. In the present paper, we will apply this metaphysical framework to taste states. In our proposal, two incompatible taste states (such as the state of rhubarb’s being tasty and the state of rhubarb’s being distasteful) can both constitute reality in an absolute manner, although no agent can have joint access to both states. We will then develop a formalised version of our view by means of an exact truthmaker semantics for taste assertions. Within this framework—we argue—our linguistic and inferential practices concerning cases of faultless disagreement are elegantly vindicated, thus suggesting that taste fragmentalism is worth of further consideration.
Measurement of Thermal Transport in Solids with the Hot Disc Method

Published: December 2023

AbstractThis experimental method was first proposed in 1991 and is presently being used for determining thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, thermal effusivity, and volumetric heat capacity of solids. Under special and well-controlled conditions, it is possible to measure thermal conductivity over approximately six orders of magnitude at temperatures ranging from 25 K up to 1500 K. A feature of this method is the possibility to obtain both the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity from one single transient recording and in that way to open up convenient measurements of thermal transport of certain anisotropic materials. A further advantage of using a transient method relates to the possibility to eliminate the influence of the contact resistances always present between the heating element, functioning also as the temperature recorder, and the surface of the substrate under investigation. This review will touch upon the limitations of the method with an estimation of the measuring uncertainty together with a discussion on the influence of the difference between the experimental arrangement and the assumption made in the development of the analytical theory used for analyzing the experimentally recorded data. The method has turned out to be useful not only in measurements of the thermal transport but also for special quality control situations. It is used in both academic institutions and in industrial laboratories and has so far generated some 5000 scientific papers in international journals.

Published: December 2023

AbstractBearings are mechanical components designed to restrict the relative rotary motion between moving parts and transmit loads with low friction. Their performance directly impacts the durability, efficiency and reliability of various machinery. Therefore, bearing failures can lead to economic costs, repair/stoppage times, accidents and regulatory compliance issues. In the context of Industry 4.0, the development of detailed and reliable computational models for simulating bearings’ dynamics plays a crucial role in establishing digital twins and implementing advanced predictive maintenance strategies.This work focuses on modelling radial-loaded deep groove ball bearings under the multibody systems dynamics framework and the components of the bearing (inner and outer rings, rolling elements, and cage) are treated as separate bodies. A smooth contact approach is utilised to characterise the contact/impact phenomena, providing flexibility and efficiency in monitoring the whole contact event. In this sense, suitable normal and friction contact force models are used to describe those interactions between the contacting bodies. The main contribution of this work relies on the modelling strategies to represent the cage/rolling element interaction.Having that in mind, several multibody models of radial-loaded deep groove ball bearings are developed considering different modelling assumptions, resulting in dynamic analyses with various levels of complexity. The underlying simplifications are described, and their main advantages and shortcomings are discussed. The simulation results demonstrated the significant impact of accurately selecting the modelling parameters. The promising results of this study pave the way for future investigations, extending to other geometries of rolling contact bearings and working conditions.

Abstract
Purpose
This research work investigates the influence of children’s weight status on well-being and school context in a sample of Spanish adolescences.

Methods
The Spanish records from the 2013–14 Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children Survey are used, which gathers 9,565 adolescences aged 11, 13 and 15. Studies do not usually address the endogeneity of body mass index when analysing their effect on life satisfaction and health complaints, thus resulting in biased estimates. Considering the endogeneity of body mass index, we use the frequency of alcohol consumption as an instrumental variable in order to obtain consistent estimates of its influence.

Results
The two-stage least squares estimation shows that children’s body mass index has a significant negative influence on health complaints and it conditions the way children relate to each other at school. Likewise, results report significant influence on children’s subjective well-being and their self-assessment of general health.

Conclusions
The results of this study provide compelling evidence that BMI plays a crucial role in shaping adolescents’ well-being and their interactions with peers at school. These findings underscore the importance of addressing childhood overweight and promoting healthy body mass index levels. Furthermore, the study highlights the need for targeted policy interventions to combat the social stigma associated with being overweight, fostering a more inclusive and supportive school environment for all students.
The impact of the Paycheck Protection Program on the risk-taking behaviour of US banks
Authors: Filomeni Stefano 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic placed many small businesses across the US in financial distress. In response to this, in March 2020 the US government introduced, as part of the CARES Act, the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) intended to provide relief to small businesses and to preserve jobs during the pandemic. The latter resulted in three waves of funding distributed to small businesses through SBA approved lenders, mainly represented by US banks. By using a panel dataset of 4610 banks over the period Q1 2019–Q4 2020 and by employing a difference-in-differences approach (DiD), I investigate whether participation in the Paycheck Protection Program affected community banks’ credit risk-taking behaviour in the post-PPP period, compared to their non-community banking counterparts in the US. I find that the Paycheck Protection Program led community banks to decrease their risk appetite outside of the program relative to non-community banks, consistent with their greater exposure to the commercial real estate sector, heavily hit by the pandemic. My results are robust to a battery of robustness tests and identification strategies. In this research article, I offer novel evidence on the indirect impact of the Paycheck Protection Program as a government-funded stimulus program administered through banks by investigating the indirect effect of the Paycheck Protection Program on the risk-taking of US community banks that dominate lending of PPP loans as a result of their competitive advantage in soft information-intensive small business lending. Such evidence is informative to policymakers as they weigh the merits of various program options to combat the economic damage imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and as they consider the design of economic stimulus programs in response to future economic crises.
Ancient Potato Varieties of the Canary Islands: Their History, Diversity and Origin of the Potato in Europe
Authors: Ríos Domingo , Devaux André , Ruiz de Galarreta José Ignacio 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe journey of the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) from South America to the rest of the world has generated a prolific literature regarding the discovery of this crop, its early consumption and cultivation in the Old World. An important part of that literature concerns the Canary Islands. The islands were the only exception to the Spanish trade monopoly with the New World, which reserved Seville as the only port for imports and exports to the colonies. The first potatoes to arrive from America, both from the Andes and the Chiloé archipelago, passed through the Canary Islands, and it is likely that the islands were initially the place where this crop became acclimatised. The orography, the volcanic soils, the climate and the intermediate photoperiods of the islands contributed to the acclimatisation of potatoes that came from various origins of America. The current biodiversity of potatoes in the Canary Islands includes different cultivars, such as local ones that arrived from South America after the conquest, which have evolved on the islands and are taxonomically classified as Solanum ssp. tuberosum, Solanum ssp. andigena and Solanum chaucha. These potatoes have been preserved by farmers, generation after generation, with between 600 and 800 ha being devoted to their cultivation (mainly on the island of Tenerife), in a traditional way, though with low productivity, often due to high virus pressure. This article traces the history of ancient potatoes in the Canary Islands and investigates in depth the introduction of potatoes in Europe through the Canary Islands. It contributes to describing the cultivated plant genetic resources of the Solanum spp. as well as their current situation and cultivation. It also describes traditional cultivation practices, the importance of the in situ conservation of theses varieties and the threats that affect them such as the Guatemalan potato moth.

ZusammenfassungMit wenigen Worten bringt der EuGH die in der Europäischen Union operierenden TechGiganten in
schwere Bedrängnis. Indem er mit seinem Urteil in der Rechtssache Meta Platforms marktbeherrschenden
Unternehmen verbietet, ihre Dienste ausschließlich nach einem alternativlosen Datenentgeltmodell anzubieten,
steht nichts weniger als deren bisheriges Geschäftsmodell auf dem Spiel. Die für die Entscheidung
maßgebliche DS-GVO ermöglicht den Akteuren, für die obligatorisch anzubietende weniger daten-hungrige,
jedoch gleichwertige Variante ein ,,angemessenes Entgelt,, zu fordern. Der Digital Markets Act verfolgt
das gleiche Ziel, legt den Torwächtern dabei aber engere Fesseln an. Sie dürfen die weniger personalisierte
Alternative des Plattformdienstes nicht schlechter ausgestalten als das datenintensive Pendant. Beide Steuerungsansätze
können unzweifelhaft einen effektiveren Datenschutz gewährleisten. Allerdings könnten sie
auch die Zukunft der ,,kostenlosen`` Internetdienste besiegeln.
A new approach based on VIKOR and Monte-Carlo algorithms for determining the most efficient enhanced oil recovery methods: EOR screening
Authors: Hajinorouz Maryam , Alavi Seyed Enayatollah 
Published: December 2023

AbstractMost of oil reservoirs in the world have faced decrease in production and they are in the second half of their life cycle. Therefore, tertiary and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques are needed for continuous production from these reservoirs. As choosing the most appropriate EOR methods for a reservoir is a challenging task for reservoir engineers, screening of EOR approaches is of high importance before any full field simulation and experiments. Enhanced oil recovery screening is a multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem and hence, a systematic statistical algorithm based on MCDM can be used for this purpose. In this study, for the first time, a new EOR screening method is proposed by using VIKOR and Monte-Carlo algorithms. The approach used a large database of successful EOR projects around the world and was applied to 12 various EOR methods including a wide range of conditions and properties. Pre-processing was performed on the gathered database and then based on reservoir engineering analyses and using a pairwise comparison matrix, initial weights were considered for the parameters in each EOR method. Afterward, these weights were used in the proposed VIKOR MCDM calculation algorithm and the corresponding numerical values of EOR techniques for each reservoir were obtained. Finally, the EOR method with the highest corresponding value was selected as the most suitable method. Results demonstrated that by using the presented approach, a high classification accuracy of 98% was obtained for different cases, which shows the proficiency and robustness of the developed screening algorithm. In addition, the reliability of the developed method was validated using data obtained from 11 oil reservoirs in the southwest of Iran. Also, the results were compared with the results of previous studies and they were in a very good match. The developed approach is less expensive and faster than full field simulation method and can be used as an efficient EOR screening approach for reservoirs with different properties in the world.
Low-viscosity oligoether esters (OEEs) as high-efficiency lubricating oils: Insight on their structure–lubricity relationship

Published: December 2023

AbstractDevelopment of energy-efficient lubricants is a way to reduce energy consumption for transportation, with the tendency to design molecules that are beneficial in reducing the viscosity of synthetic oils. Oligoether esters (OEEs), as a low-viscosity ester base oil, have characteristics such as simple synthesis and excellent lubrication effect, however, the application of OEEs in tribology field has rarely been investigated. The objective of the present study is to investigate the effect of structure on the lubricating performance of OEEs and to develop a predictive model for OEEs based on quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) through a combination of experiment and statistical modeling. Results showed that glycol chains contribute positively to lubrication with the ether functional groups increasing the sites of adsorption. Compared to branched-chain OEEs, straight-chain OEEs exhibited reduced wear, which was mainly due to the thicker adsorption film formed by the straight-chain structure. Furthermore, carbon films were detected on lightly worn surfaces, indicating that OEEs underwent oxidation during the friction process. Based on the results of principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS), it could be found that the predictive models of viscosity–temperature performance, thermal stability performance, coefficient of friction (COF), and wear volume (WV) performed well and robustly. Among them, COF and WV can be best predicted with an R2 of about 0.90.
A reappraisal of Nemavermes mackeei from the Mazon Creek fossil site expands Carboniferous cyclostome diversity
Authors: McCoy Victoria E. , Wittry Jack , Sadabadi Hamed , Mayer Paul 
Published: December 2023

AbstractNemavermes mackeei Schram, 1973, found in the Mazon Creek fossil site and the Bear Gulch Limestone, was described initially as a free-living marine nematode. Here we investigate 13 specimens of N. mackeei from the Mazon Creek to reassess its morphology and identity, and also two specimens originally identified as Gilpichthys greenei Bardack and Richardson, 1977. Based on the extensive morphological variation among these specimens, N. mackeei encompasses multiple species that are only distantly related. The holotype of N. mackeei is a proboscis of Tullimonstrum gregarium Richardson, 1966, making N. mackeei a junior synonym of T. gregarium. However, the other specimens that we investigated could not be attributed to T. gregarium. We name a new species from these specimens: Squirmarius testai new genus new species, a cyclostome. One specimen is likely a juvenile G. greenei. Other specimens were not identified during this study but represent a variety of vermiform bilaterians.UUID: http://zoobank.org/d8c63f6a-0ef4-4a34-8dbd-c1d9099589cc
“This expulsion is explained in many ways”: Ottoman Greek Orthodox internal exiles during the Great War (1914–1918)
Authors: Minasidis Charalampos 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis article investigates the Ottoman Greek Orthodox internal exiles, focusing on the deportees’ experiences and the intricacies of their agency during the Great War (1914–18). It does so by examining deportees’ understudied ego-documents, taken either from the collections of the Centre for Asia Minor Studies in Athens or from family archives. Organized into labor-battalions or housed in open internment camps in town quarters, the inland exiles were deported to secure the rear front and homogenize the country, but their deportation was characterized by local influences and inconsistencies. Several of the Greek Orthodox exiles managed to survive and maintain their cultural ties by exploiting such inconsistencies, either by selling their skills or by resisting exile through solidarity, desertion, and resistance.
Who Buys the “Big Lie”? White Racial Grievance and Confidence in the Fairness of American Elections
Authors: Filindra Alexandra , Kaplan Noah J. , Manning Andrea 
Published: December 2023

AbstractElection skepticism has become a persistent feature of American politics since the Obama era. Such beliefs are most prevalent among White Americans and especially Republicans, and they are resistant to change. Conspiracy theory studies have shown that such beliefs are linked to feelings of ingroup victimization, at times associated with election loss. We draw on theories of White ingroup processes to argue that White grievance—the belief that Whites are victims of discrimination—is a key correlate of election skepticism among White Americans. White grievance was employed in the Obama era, but it was weaponized by Trump in the 2020 election. Our results based on four national datasets (2012–2020 ANES, 2021 YouGov) show that controlling for negative outgroup attitudes and other factors, White grievance is a significant predictor of election skepticism in all four studies. In 2020, the effect is stronger among White Republicans and independents. We also show that White identity/consciousness has the opposite effect, generally boosting trust in elections. Furthermore, a lagged dependent variable model using the 2016–2020 ANES panel shows that White grievance remains significant even after an LDV is included in the model.

AbstractGeographical distribution plays a major role in our understanding of marine biodiversity. Some marine fish trematodes have been shown to have highly restricted geographical distributions, while some are known to occur over very wide ranges; however, very few of these wide distributions have been demonstrated genetically. Here, we analyse species of the genusSchikhobalotrema(Haplosplanchnidae) parasitizing beloniforms from the tropical west Pacific, the eastern Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). We test the boundaries of these trematodes by integrating molecular and morphological data, host association, habitat of the hosts and geographical distribution, following a recently proposed and standardized delineation method for the recognition of marine trematode species. Based on the new collections,Schikhobalotrema huffmaniis here synonymized with the type-species of the genus,Schikhobalotrema acutum;Sch. acutumis now considered to be widely distributed, from the GoM to the western Pacific. Additionally, we describe a new species,Schikhobalotrema minutumn. sp., fromStrongylura notataandStrongylura marina(Belonidae) from La Carbonera coastal lagoon, northern Yucatán, GoM. We briefly discuss the role of host association and historical biogeography of the hosts as drivers of species diversification ofSchikhobalotremainfecting beloniforms.
Internal Migration Policies in China: Patterns and Determinants of the Household Registration Reform Policy Design in 2014
Authors: Wang Julia Shu-Huah , Zhu Yiwen , Peng Chenhong , You Jing 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis study exploits rich data sources to investigate city-level patterns of internal migration policies in response to the reform of Chinese household registration and the economic, political and sociocultural determinants that drive policy approaches. First, we collected and systematically coded policy documents from 231 cities. Cluster analyses showed that the majority of cities (63%) adopted less lenient selection policies while offering integrative social welfare policies. Rights to internal migration remain selectively granted in China, yet rights to welfare have become more equitable than they were in the past because of the reform. Second, multinomial regression analyses showed that economic development and growth are related to selection policies that are more lenient towards high-skilled migrants, whereas top-down controls of superior governments, local politicians’ characteristics (e.g. tenure concerns and hometown favouritism) and migrants’ sociocultural environments (e.g. pre-existing labour disputes) account for both selection and integration policies.
Theoretical approaches to grammatical tone
Authors: Lionnet Florian , McPherson Laura , Rolle Nicholas 
Published: December 2023

AbstractTone is distinct from other phonological phenomena both qualitatively and quantitatively (Hyman 2011), and has been instrumental in shaping phonological theory in many ways. However, the contributions to current linguistic theory of “grammatical tone’ (GT) – a type of non-concatenative morphology where a morpheme is expressed at least in part by tone and/or tone changes – have been less apparent. In this paper, we take stock of the types of GT patterns attested in the literature and the different theoretical treatments of GT that have been proposed to date. We show that GT is still to a large extent underexplored, and highlight the immense potential of the study of GT for improving our understanding of phonology and its outer limits. This paper serves as an introduction to the high-quality research articles collected in this special issue, which directly address how GT critically informs phonological theory and its current developments.
