The revision of the product liability directive: a key piece in the artificial intelligence liability puzzle
Authors: Rodríguez de las Heras Ballell Teresa 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe revision of the Product Liability Directive plays a key role in the policy strategy of resolving what might be called the artificial intelligence liability jigsaw puzzle. By accommodating the Product Liability Directive to the challenges of artificial intelligence systems, several policy quandaries have been aptly addressed and frontally solved. Two bridges have been built. First, a bridge between the Artificial Intelligence Act and the national fault-based liability rules (draft Artificial Intelligence Liability Directive), and secondly, a complementariness bridge between the Product Liability Directive and fault-based liability rules (draft Revised Product Liability Directive). The second interplay largely revolves around a generously expanded and invigorated product liability regime. These policy choices do not ensure that the jigsaw puzzle produces a fully harmonised image of liability in respect of artificial intelligence, insofar as the system of liability is still partially dependent upon national laws on fault-based liability. Nonetheless, the new measures signal in a pragmatic way a desirable and expected trend towards an increasing unification of liability regimes.
Invisible energy policy and schools: how energy issues feature in the policies and documents of a UK secondary school
Authors: Lait Joshua 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThere is a growing research literature focused on ‘invisible energy policy’ that explores the complex links between policies in non-energy sectors and energy demand. Invisible energy policies are those that do not include energy as a visible policy objective but still pose implications for energy demand that are largely unrecognised in non-energy organisational settings. Within this innovative area of analysis, to date, little attention has been paid to how ‘energy’ features in the discourse of non-energy contexts. This paper makes a distinctive contribution by examining how energy issues, such as energy demand, travel, and energy skills, do or do not feature in the policy and wider strategy of a non-energy policy setting. The research focuses on the content of policies and other documents in the non-energy policy context of UK secondary schooling, using a case study approach. It aimed to identify how energy surfaces and/or remains absent in different types of documentary evidence at the school. The textual analysis shows how openings for energy to surface as a concern at the school are often heavily bounded in specific policy areas, such as sustainability and education. It also foregrounds the lack of recognition in the sample for how school operations and strategy can produce demand for energy more fundamentally. It argues that these openings for energy to surface can provide points of negotiation to discuss the more fundamental energy impacts of policy. The paper concludes by reflecting on the analysis’ implications for research on ‘invisible energy policies’ and low-carbon transitions.
Bellah’s Durkheim: A fruitful reinvention?
Authors: Fabiani Jean-Louis 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe contribution is based on Robert Bellah’s introduction to Emile Durkheim on Morality and Society (1973) and second on other references to the French sociologist in Bellah’s work as well as in Bortolini’s insightful remarks on the “homology” between Durkheim and Bellah. The publication of the book took place in a time of Durkheimian effervescence: Steven Lukes’ Emile Durkheim.His Life and Work was published on the same year and a new Durkheimology appeared in the English-speaking world: attention shifted from methodology, as expressed in Suicide or in the Rules of Sociological Method, to morality with a focus on the moral basis on a non-pathological society. Bellah’s statement is quite strong: Durkheim can “be seen as a theologian of French civil religion”. The paper will examine’s this point of view with respect to the state of French society at the turn of the century and Durkheim’s social project. One side question concerns the choice of texts: the editor did not give enough weight to texts that might have strengthen Bellah’s point of view, particularly l’Education morale. Bortolini mentions Bob’s long and silent work on Durkheim and his critique of mainstream analysis of The Elementary forms of Religious Life, reducing religion to a mere projection of society (:142). The biographer insists on the ambivalent, if not contradictory, vision of Durkheim in Bellah’s work, in which he finds a key to the interpretation of the oeuvre. The article focuses on how to account for its complexity, which is never as clear as in the interpretation of Durkheim’s sociology in a post-rationalist direction. Bortolini’s concept of role model/hero incarnated by the founding fathers (here Weber and Durkheim) is analyzed in connection with Parsons’ reconstitution of a pantheon. The question of civil religion is reexamined in the light of the transatlantic transfers carrying different meanings of civil religion.
Tier-Mensch-Begegnungen in modernen Sagen
Authors: Liese Lea 
Published: July 2023

ZusammenfassungModerne Sagen operieren mit Stereotypisierungen, um in der immer komplexer werdenden Welt Sinnstiftung und Orientierung zu geben. Indem sie Grenzüberschreitungen sanktionieren, sind sie einerseits an der Wiederherstellung fester Ordnungssysteme interessiert, die auf kategorialen Vereindeutigungen beruhen. Andererseits entlarven sie durch die Inszenierung von – oft interkulturellen – Missverständnissen die Willkür sprachlicher Benennungssysteme. Unter diesem Zeichen lassen sich auch die Mensch-Tier-Begegnungen lesen. So thematisieren viele urban legends Fälle von Deterritorialisierung und gescheiterter Domestizierung, womit ein anthropozentrisches Framing subversiv unterlaufen werden kann. Eindeutige Gattungszuschreibungen erweisen sich hier als fragwürdig und somit folgt auch die interspezifische Begegnung keinem eindeutigen, d. h. habitualisierten Muster mehr. Die Tier-Mensch-Begegnungen gewinnen somit (zumindest temporär) an Offenheit, die formal auch der Gattung der urban legends selbst eingeschrieben ist.
Lightweight Integration of a Data Cache for Opportunistic Usage of HPC Resources in HEP Workflows
Authors: Sammel Dirk , Boehler Michael , Gamel Anton J. , Schumacher Markus 
Published: July 2023

AbstractA data caching setup has been implemented for the High Energy Physics (HEP) computing infrastructure in Freiburg, Germany, as a possible alternative to local long-term storage. Files are automatically cached on disk upon first request by a client, can be accessed from cache for subsequent requests, and are deleted after predefined conditions are met. The required components are provided to a dedicated HEP cluster, and, via virtual research environments, to the opportunistically used High-Performance Computing (HPC) Cluster NEMO (Neuroscience, Elementary Particle Physics, Microsystems Engineering and Materials Science). A typical HEP workflow has been implemented as benchmark test to identify any overhead introduced by the caching setup with respect to direct, non-cached data access, and to compare the performance of cached and non-cached access to several external files sources. The results indicate no significant overhead in the workflow and faster file access with the caching setup, especially for geographically distant file sources. Additionally, the hardware requirements for various numbers of parallel file requests were measured for estimating future requirements.
A GIS-Based Digital Documentation Protocol for High-Resolution Documentation of Paleolithic Sites
Authors: Sauer Florian 
Published: July 2023

AbstractDigitization of excavation recording can be a means to improve efficiency and accuracy of archaeological documentation on site. In the publications of the last decades, numerous different methodologies and various technical solutions have been presented. In this regard, this paper presents an approach to digital documentation developed for the excavation of the Upper Paleolithic site of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld based on the documentation requirements of the heritage administration of Saxony-Anhalt. The approach uses orthophotos from structure-from-motion processing for find proveniencing in a GIS system. Data is manipulated on tablet PCs and transferred via an on-site Wi-Fi network to a PostGIS database. The individual components of the system are listed, and their interplay in the recording system is described. The experiences in using the system at the site of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld are presented. The system improved accuracy of recording, reduced transcription errors and mistakes by the excavators, and reduced post-processing time. Also, main problems like adverse conditions on site such as heat and dust have been taken to account. Finally, the paper also provides an outlook on potential changes and improvements to the system. These include the use of rugged devices and the implementation of Python scripting for streamlining of data-processing.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe aim of the present study is to identify frequency and psychosocial factors associated with being exposed to traditional bullying and cyberbullying victimization among junior high-school students in Norway. Additionally, the aim was to explore the specific types of bullying and cyberbullying victimization adolescents’ experience. This cross-sectional study is conducted among 2049 adolescents aged 13 to 16 years in junior-high schools in Norway. Overall, 13% reported experiences of being victimized of bullying and 12% of cyberbullying in the past 6 months. Two logistic regression analyses examined associations between being victimized of bullying or cyberbullying with gender, grade, socio-economic status (SES), unauthorized absence from school, and alcohol use. The odds of being a victim of bullying or cyberbullying significantly decreased the more the adolescents perceived the SES of the family as good. The odds of being cyberbullied were twice as high for girls and were significantly decreased when the adolescents had zero days with unauthorized absence from school and had not started to drink alcohol. Furthermore, girls experienced more indirect types of bullying (e.g., exclusion) compared to boys. Regarding the direct types of bullying, boys experienced significantly more often physically forms (e.g., hitting), while girls experienced more insulting forms (e.g., being called names). Implications for bullying prevention efforts are discussed.

Abstract
Information on nitrogen economy of grain legumes during seed filling is critical for their sustainable cultivation in rainfed agroecosystems, but a comparable assessment of different legumes under the same growth conditions is lacking. The purpose of this study was to examine species, cultivar and seasonal effects on nodulation and nitrogen accumulation, remobilization, and utilization. Five grain legumes [common vetch (Vicia sativa L.), red pea (Lathyrus cicera L.), lentil (Lens culinaris Medik), chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), and field pea (Pisum sativum L.)], each represented by two cultivars, were grown for two years in a semiarid Mediterranean environment. There were considerable environmentally induced differences among species in nodulation, with chickpea maintaining a sufficient number of nodules (16 nodules plant‒1) and nodule dry weight (57 mg plant‒1) even in the drier year (2015). Pre-podding nitrogen accumulation varied among species, particularly in the wetter year (2014). Nitrogen translocation from vegetative parts to seeds was correlated with pre-podding nitrogen accumulation (r = 0.99, P < 0.01 in 2014 and r = 0.98, P < 0.01 in 2015). Interspecific differences in nitrogen translocation efficiency were enlarged under drought, with red pea exhibiting the highest (84%) and lentil the lowest value (72%). Chickpea produced the highest seed nitrogen accumulation in both years and had the highest nitrogen utilization efficiency (21 kg seeds per kg N) the drier year. Nitrogen utilization efficiency was positively correlated with nitrogen harvest index and negatively with nitrogen concentration in vegetative parts at maturity. Most trait differences were less evident within species than between species. Overall, chickpea was found to outperform other legumes in semiarid Mediterranean conditions in terms of nitrogen accumulation in seeds and nitrogen utilization efficiency.

Published: July 2023

AbstractRecently, academics and practitioners have devoted considerable attention to studying green procurement. Due to the growing number of articles in this fast-evolving domain, it is critical to examine the current body of knowledge thoroughly. The knowledge structure and dissemination channels in this field have been systematically examined for the first time. Four hundred fifty-two Scopus journal articles were analysed using keyword co-occurrence network and main path analysis (MPA) to identify the important research topics and historical evolution of green procurement research. The findings indicate that the literature focuses on multiple topics, including green supply chain management, sustainable public procurement, sustainability, green supplier selection, and environmental management. The primary focus of research has been on the determinants and difficulties of green public procurement. Recently, there has been an increased focus on the determinants of green procurement in the construction and education sectors. The novelty of this study is that it examines the evolution of knowledge in green procurement. Additionally, it offers the ability to analyse the diffusion and structure of knowledge, assisting researchers in successfully navigating hundreds of articles and expanding their understanding of the green procurement domain’s history, current state, and future directions.
Adaptive sliding mode attitude control of quaternion model for aircraft based on neural network minimum parameter learning method
Authors: Zhuang H.X. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis paper studied the back-stepping adaptive sliding mode control (SMC) attitude problem of quaternion aircraft model based on radial basis function (RBF) network approximation. Firstly, a sliding mode controller is designed based on the back-stepping method (BSM) for the nonlinear aircraft model. Secondly, a RBF network algorithm is designed to compensate for the unknown and uncertain parts of the aircraft system. RBF network has simple network structure and good generalisation ability, avoids lengthy and unnecessary calculations, realises adaptive approximation of unknown parts in the aircraft model, and through the adjustment of adaptive weights, the convergence and stability of the entire closed-loop system (CLS) are guaranteed. Finally, the anti-interference performance of the controller is verified by simulation of the actuator fault model. Our proposed method has all-right control performance indicated by the simulation results.
A Defense of Impurist Permissivism
Authors: Wu Jenny Yi-Chen 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
One famous debate in contemporary epistemology considers whether there is always one unique, epistemically rational way to respond to a given body of evidence. Generally speaking, answering “yes” to this question makes one a proponent of the Uniqueness thesis, while those who answer “no” are called “permissivists”. Another influential recent debate concerns whether non-truth-related factors can be the basis of epistemic justification, knowledge, or rational belief. Traditional theories answer “no”, and are therefore considered “purists”. However, more recently many theorists have argued to the contrary, claiming that impurist factors, such as practical stakes, can sometimes encroach or even override truth-related considerations. This paper bridges the two debates by presenting and defending what I call “Impurist Permissivism”. I support Impurist Permissivism by showing how it can resist Roger White's famous Argument from Arbitrariness (2005).
Word complexity of (measure-theoretically) weakly mixing rank-one subshifts
Authors: CREUTZ DARREN 
Published: July 2023

AbstractWe exhibit, for arbitrary
$\epsilon> 0$
, subshifts admitting weakly mixing (probability) measures with word complexity p satisfying
$\limsup p(q) / q < 1.5 + \epsilon $
. For arbitrary
$f(q) \to \infty $
, said subshifts can be made to satisfy
$p(q) < q + f(q)$
infinitely often. We establish that every subshift associated to a rank-one transformation (on a probability space) which is not an odometer satisfies
$\limsup p(q) - 1.5q = \infty $
and that this is optimal for rank-ones.
Twice weekly polymerase chain reaction (PCR) surveillance swabs are not as effective as daily antigen testing for containment of severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreaks: A modeling study based on real world data from a child and adolescent psychiatry clinic

AbstractObjective:In the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, child and adolescent psychiatry wards face the risk of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) introduction and spread within the facility. In this setting, mask and vaccine mandates are hard to enforce, especially for younger children. Surveillance testing may detect infection early and enable mitigation measures to prevent viral spread. We conducted a modeling study to determine the optimal method and frequency of surveillance testing and to analyze the effect of weekly team meetings on transmission dynamics.Design and setting:Simulation with an agent-based model reflecting ward structure, work processes, and contact networks from a real-world child and adolescent psychiatry clinic with 4 wards, 40 patients, and 72 healthcare workers.Methods:We simulated the spread of 2 SARS-CoV-2 variants over 60 days under surveillance testing with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests and rapid antigen tests in different scenarios. We measured the size, peak, and the duration of an outbreak. We compared medians and percentage of spillover events to other wards from 1,000 simulations for each setting.Results:The outbreak size, peak, and duration were dependent on test frequency, test type, SARS-CoV-2 variant, and ward connectivity. Under surveillance conditions, joint staff meetings and therapists shared between wards did not significantly change median outbreak size under surveillance conditions. With daily antigen testing, outbreaks were mostly confined to 1 ward and median outbreak sizes were lower than with twice-weekly PCR testing (1 vs 22; P < .001).Conclusion:Modeling can help to understand transmission patterns and guide local infection control measures.

AbstractBackgroundFew studies have examined associations between gender non-conformity (GNC) in childhood or adolescence and mental health outcomes later in life. This study examined associations between (1) GNC and mental health over multiple time points in childhood and adolescence, and (2) GNC in childhood and/or adolescence and mental health in adulthood.MethodSecond generation participants from the Raine Study, a longitudinal cohort from Perth, Western Australia. Data were collected between 1995 and 2018, comprising seven waves: ages 5 (N = 2236), 8 (N = 2140), 10 (N = 2048), 14 (N = 1864), 17 (N = 1726), 22 (N = 1236) and 27 (N = 1190) years. History of GNC, v. absence of this history, was based on responses to item 110 from the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL)/Youth Self Report (YSR) (‘wishes to be of opposite sex’). The CBCL/YSR were used to measure internalising and externalising symptoms. Items 18 (‘deliberate self-harm [DSH] or attempts suicide’) and 91 (‘talks/thinks about killing self’) were used as measures of suicidal ideation (SI) and DSH. For adults, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Subscales and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale assessed mental health.ResultsChild and adolescent GNC was associated with elevated internalising and externalising behaviours and increased odds of DSH. A history of GNC was also associated with vulnerability for severe psychological distress in adulthood in some symptom scales.ConclusionGNC over the child and adolescent period is associated with significant emotional and behavioural difficulties, and psychological distress. A history of GNC in childhood and/or adolescence also predicts poorer mental health in adulthood on multiple symptom domains.
The politics of science: A postscript
Authors: Sen Somdeep 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis postscript deliberates the wider implications of decolonising the academy. It takes point of departure in the often-contentious public discourse on the topic and asks, why is the decolonisation agenda so concerning to public officials and the target of public policy? In many ways, derisive and irreverent responses to efforts to decolonise universities, schools, and the curricula is only expected seeing as it has the potential to disrupt the futures of the beneficiaries of colonial norms, practices, and institutions. But equally, the decolonisation agenda is contentious as it unsettles the assumption that scientific knowledge production is an apolitical affair. There are of course ample examples of scientific ‘progress’ being deeply indebted to histories and legacies of colonialism. However, it is in revealing this politics of science that decolonisation finds wider political relevance as not just an effort to recognise and remedy the legacies of colonisation in the academy. It also reveals the politics that is embedded in what we know and, in doing so, underlines the fallibility of a singular (scientific) frame, means of measurement, or rule of inference for understanding a social reality. In fact, decolonisation understood in this way is about opening up the possibility of acknowledging there isn’t a social reality. Every social phenomenon can be experienced in a multiplicity of ways and therefore reimagining IR in view of decolonising it requires a political response that empirically, methodologically, and theoretically forefronts the multiplicity of perspectives and experiences that have thus far been marginalised in the studying and understanding of social realities.
Synthesize This: Meta-Analysis as a Dissertation Tool
Authors: Jackson Christopher , Philips Andrew Q. 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACTMeta-analyses are used to synthesize a body of literature to produce a single summary estimate as well as to explain differences among studies. The field of political science has slowly gained an appreciation for their use in recent years; however, using meta-analyses in dissertations remains rare. This is puzzling, given the tool’s ability to map a topic, to highlight potential gaps for future research to address, and its long-lasting utility for researchers in future projects. We argue that for these and several other reasons, graduate students should consider including a meta-analysis in their dissertation. This article discusses these advantages in detail and offers advice on how to conduct a meta-analysis based on several interviews and applied examples. We also address potential challenges when using this research design in a dissertation.
