What is a framework? Understanding their purpose, value, development and use
Authors: Partelow Stefan 
Published: April 2023

AbstractMany frameworks exist across the sciences and science-policy interface, but it is not always clear how they are developed or can be applied. It is also often vague how new or existing frameworks are positioned in a theory of science to advance a specific theory or paradigm. This article examines these questions and positions the role of frameworks as integral but often vague scientific tools, highlighting benefits and critiques. While frameworks can be useful for synthesizing and communicating core concepts in a field, they often lack transparency in how they were developed and how they can be applied. Positioning frameworks within a theory of science can aid in knowing the purpose and value of framework use. This article provides a meta-framework for visualizing and engaging the four mediating processes for framework development and application: (1) empirical generalization, (2) theoretical fitting, (3) application, and (4) hypothesizing. Guiding points for scholars and policymakers using or developing frameworks in their research are provided in closing.
Improved rough approximations based on variable J-containment neighborhoods
Authors: Zheng Tingting

AbstractClassic generalized rough set model in neighborhood systems provides a more general framework for depicting approximations, while it may meet the non-reflexive situations. Some scholars put forward different neighborhoods, such as adhesion neighborhoods (briefly, $$P_{j}$$

Effect of typical meteorological year selection on integrated daylight modeling and building energy simulation
Authors: Sun Jingting , Li Zhengrong , Li Cui , Feng Xiwen 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe complete description of outdoor luminous and thermal environment is the basis for daylight utilization design with simulation tools. Nevertheless, Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) and generation method specifically developed for the energy simulation of daylight-utilized buildings is still unavailable currently. Luminous environment parameters have not been taken into consideration in existing TMY generation methods. In this study, the feasibility of existing TMY generation process has been examined. A generic office model implementing sided window daylighting is established. Historical meteorological data of Hong Kong from 1979 to 2007 have been collected and three existing weighting schemes are applied during the Typical Meteorological Month (TMM) selection procedures. Three TMY files for Hong Kong are generated and used to conduct integrated Climate-Based Daylight Modeling and building energy simulation. The result demonstrates that, on annual basis, the energy consumption results obtained from the generated TMY files are in good agreements with the long-term mean annual value. The maximum deviation of annual energy consumptions for the generated TMY files is only 1.8%. However, further analysis on monthly basis shows that all the three generated TMY files fail to fully represent the long-term monthly mean level. The maximum deviation of monthly energy consumptions for the generated TMY files can reach up to 11%. As the energy performance daylight utilization is subject to weather change, analysis on daily and monthly energy level is important, especially during design stage. The deficiency of existing TMM selection process and TMY generation method indicates the necessity to develop a corresponding typical weather data input with finer resolution for the energy simulation of daylight-related buildings.
Review of vortex lattice method for supersonic aircraft design
Authors: Joshi H. , Thomas P. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThere has been a renewed interest in developing environmentally friendly, economically viable, and technologically feasible supersonic transport aircraft and reduced order modeling methods can play an important contribution in accelerating the design process of these future aircraft. This paper reviews the use of the vortex lattice method (VLM) in modeling the general aerodynamics of subsonic and supersonic aircraft. The historical overview of the vortex lattice method is reviewed which indicates the use of this method for over a century for development and advancements in the aerodynamic analysis of subsonic and supersonic aircraft. The preference of VLM over other potential flow-solvers is because of its low order highly efficient computational analysis which is quick and efficient. Developments in VLM covering steady, unsteady state, linear and non-linear aerodynamic characteristics for different wing planform for the purpose of several different types of design optimisation is reviewed. For over a decade classical vortex lattice method has been used for multi-objective optimisation studies for commercial aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicle’s aerodynamic performance optimisation. VLM was one of the major potential flow solvers for studying the aerodynamic and aeroelastic characteristics of many wings and aircraft for NASA’s supersonic transport mission (SST). VLM is a preferred means for solving large numbers of computational design parameters in less time, more efficiently, and cheaper when compared to conventional CFD analysis which lends itself more to detailed study and solving the more challenging configuration and aerodynamic features of civil supersonic transport.
Indexing Philosophy in a Fair and Inclusive Key
Authors: FOKT SIMON , PHARR QUENTIN , TORREGROSSA CLOTILDE 
Published: April 2023

AbstractExisting indexing systems used to arrange philosophical works have been shown to misrepresent the discipline in ways that reflect and perpetuate exclusionary attitudes within it. In recent years, there has been a great deal of effort to challenge those attitudes and to revise them. But as the discipline moves toward greater equality and inclusivity, the way it has indexed its work has unfortunately not. To course correct, we identify in this article some of the specific changes that are needed within current indexing systems and propose a new model that could embody them. We use the Diversity Reading List in Philosophy as a case study and PhilPapers as a basis for comparison. The model we propose not only represents the discipline in a more inclusive and fair way, but it is also efficient, easy to use or implement, and adaptable for a variety of contexts.
Computerized-adaptive testing versus short forms for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease patient-reported outcome assessment
Authors: Brenner Erica J. , Lin Li , Bahnson Kirsten M. , Long Millie D. , Chen Wenli , Kappelman Michael D. , Reeve Bryce B. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract

Introduction:
Computerized-adaptive testing (CAT) may increase reliability or reduce respondent burden for assessing patient-reported outcomes compared with static short forms (SFs). We compared CAT versus SF administration of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System® (PROMIS®) Pediatric measures in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Methods:
Participants completed 4-item CAT, 5- or 6-item CAT, and 4-item SF versions of the PROMIS Pediatric measures. We compared average T-scores, intra-class correlations (ICCs), floor and ceiling effects, and standard error of measurement (SEM) across forms, along with mean effect sizes between active versus quiescent IBD disease activity groups.

Results:
Average PROMIS T-scores across forms were <3 points (minimally important difference) of each other. All forms correlated highly with each other (ICCs ≥0.90) and had similar ceiling effects, but the CAT-5/6 had lower floor effects. The CAT-5/6 had lower SEM than the CAT-4 and SF-4, and the CAT-4 had a lower SEM than the SF-4. Mean effect sizes were similar across forms when contrasting disease activity groups.

Conclusions:
The CAT and SF forms produced similar score results, but the CAT had better precision and lower floor effects. Researchers should consider PROMIS pediatric CAT if they anticipate that their sample will skew toward symptom extremes.
Euro as the currency of the EU’s green transition
Authors: Smoleńska Agnieszka 
Published: April 2023

AbstractStefan Eich’s The Currency of Politics offers us a new way of looking at the EU’s sustainable finance trend, one that allows us to see how the ‘greening’ financial transactions creates “green money” and thus intertwines with questions of justice and democracy. In this contribution I explore how The Currency of Politics can help us understand the significance and the constitutional implications of the transformation of the euro into the ‘currency of the green transition’ as it has been referred to by Eurogroup’s President in 2021. I show how the three trends of EU green bond issuance, granular sustainable finance regulation and the progressive greening of monetary policy are moulding the euro in a political sense as the ‘currency of the green transition’ as much as the legal tender. Euro currency becomes in this sense ‘a governance project’ for the sustainable transition. This perspective offers multiple points of engagement with the themes of Stefan Eich’s important book. For example, the claim of privatisation of money creation must be qualified to reflect on the implications of the granular way in which EU law defines what green money is. At the same time, while a ‘green currency’ creates spaces for engagement and new forms of organising a polity, it still remains largely removed from ordinary citizens as ‘technocratic’ rather than ‘democratic’ self-government.
Value extraction and institutions in digital capitalism: Towards a law and political economy synthesis for competition law
Authors: Lianos Ioannis 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThe rise of digital capitalism was marked by significant changes in the processes of value generation and capture in the economy. However, its impact on competition has only been recently explored. Taking a Law and Political Economy perspective we analyse four central developments challenging the traditional competition law framework and raising important questions regarding the broader institutional environment for the protection of competition: the transition towards financialisation and the logic of futurity, in particular in the digital economy, which gives rise to new competitive strategies of undertakings, structured around the ‘shareholder value’ principle; the extraction of economic value through new types of labour, which fall outside traditional employment relationships and hence affect the scope of competition law in the digital economy; the emergence of digital value chains that rely on multi-sided platforms and the formation of digital ecosystems, which challenge the usual focus of competition law on markets; the generation and extraction of value in the digital economy through new types of commodities and natural and artificial scarcities, that shape new social relations of production in accordance with the logic of futurity and lead to the emergence of competitive bottlenecks. Based on this analysis, we emphasize the need for a comprehensive theory-building for competition law and regulation that engages with these new processes of value generation and capture. We highlight how the underlying theories of ‘value’ and the institutional set-up have led to inequality and reduced competition. Existing institutions could not respond to these changes, which led to the initiation of significant institutional reforms. The prevailing conception of competition law had to evolve in congruence with different regulatory alternatives (a ‘toolkit’ approach). The article concludes by analysing how the emerging competition and regulatory compass for the digital economy in the European Union (EU) contributes to this dialectic between value generation/capture and institutional choice.
Towards the imaginary of collective prosperity in the European Union (EU): reorienting the corporation
Authors: Bartl Marija 
Published: April 2023

AbstractIn February 2022, the European Commission published the ‘Proposal for a Directive on Sustainable Due Diligence’. This proposal appears a first tentative step to move the European Union (EU) away from a neoliberal conception of corporation. It replaces the wholesale trust in shareholders as the drivers of social progress with a greater reliance on public intervention that, via law, should expand the purposes pursued by corporations and set more sustainable rules for their action. This intended shift towards a more socially responsible, ‘collectivist’ understanding of corporation, I argue, should be seen as part of a broader change in perception of the desirable relationship between the market, government and law in the EU, forced by the many unfolding crises.In this paper I develop the concept of ‘imaginaries of prosperity’ as an analytical category that should enable us to grasp deep changes in the conception of political economy that the EU is currently undergoing. I use the Commission’s attempt to transform one of the core institutions of the deeply entrenched imaginary of privatised prosperity – the neoliberal corporation – to identify shifts in our background understanding of the economy, politics, government, nature and law which are pointing to the emergence of a more collective imaginary of prosperity in the EU. However, even if Commission’s due diligence proposal represents a visible shift toward such a collective imaginary of prosperity, in the last part of the paper I will argue that a more serious engagement with the question of power and the role of profit is both necessary, and imaginable, if we are to change course from what has led us to the current polycrisis.

Deformations of arcs and comparison of formal neighborhoods for a curve singularity
Authors: Bourqui David , Morán Cañón Mario 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Let

$ {\mathcal C} $

be an algebraic curve and c be an analytically irreducible singular point of

${\mathcal C}$

. The set

${\mathscr {L}_{\infty }}({\mathcal C})^c$

of arcs with origin c is an irreducible closed subset of the space of arcs on

${\mathcal C}$

. We obtain a presentation of the formal neighborhood of the generic point of this set which can be interpreted in terms of deformations of the generic arc defined by this point. This allows us to deduce a strong connection between the aforementioned formal neighborhood and the formal neighborhood in the arc space of any primitive parametrization of the singularity c. This may be interpreted as the fact that analytically along

${\mathscr {L}_{\infty }}({\mathcal C})^c$

the arc space is a product of a finite dimensional singularity and an infinite dimensional affine space.
Does Austerity Cause Polarization?
Authors: Hübscher Evelyne , Sattler Thomas , Wagner Markus 
Published: April 2023

AbstractIn recent decades, governments in many Western democracies have shown a remarkable consensus in pursuing fiscal austerity measures during periods of strained public finances. In this article, we show that these decisions have consequences for political polarization. Our macro-level analysis of 166 elections since 1980 finds that austerity measures increase both electoral abstention and votes for non-mainstream parties, thereby boosting party system polarization. A detailed analysis of selected austerity episodes also shows that new, small and radical parties benefit most from austerity policies. Finally, survey experiments with a total of 8,800 respondents in Germany, Portugal, Spain and the UK indicate that the effects of austerity on polarization are particularly pronounced when the mainstream right and left parties both stand for fiscal restraint. Austerity is a substantial cause of political polarization and hence political instability in industrialized democracies.
SISTERHOOD, AFFECTION AND ENSLAVEMENT IN HYPERIDES’AGAINST TIMANDRUS
Authors: Backler Katherine 
Published: April 2023

AbstractA recently published fragment of the fourth-century speechwriter Hyperides contains a speech for the prosecution of Timandrus, accused of mistreating four orphans in his care. This article draws out from the fragment three important contributions to our understanding of Athenian conceptions of family relationships, particularly the relationships of marginalized groups: girls and enslaved people. First, the fragment constitutes a rare portrayal of a relationship between two sisters. Second, the fragment clearly articulates the idea that affective family relationships are not a biological inevitability but arise from socialization, a departure from other fourth-century thinking. Third, the speaker applies this statement to enslaved people, claiming that the separation of children from close family members is so cruel that even slave-traders avoid it in their sale of human beings. Though this claim seems to have been untrue except in a very limited sense, its place in the argumentation of the speech assumes broad recognition of the existence and value of family relationships between enslaved people, vivid evidence of the paradox that slave societies recognized the humanity of people they simultaneously insisted were subhuman.
Cystic echinococcosis in Iceland: a brief history and genetic analysis of a 46-year-old Echinococcus isolate collected prior to the eradication of this zoonotic disease

Published: April 2023

AbstractCystic echinococcosis (CE) is considered the most severe parasitic disease that ever affected the human population in Iceland. Before the start of eradication campaign in the 1860s, Iceland was a country with very high prevalence of human CE, with approximately every fifth person infected. Eradication of CE from Iceland by 1979 was a huge success story and served as a leading example for other countries on how to combat such a severe One Health problem. However, there is no genetic information on Echinococcus parasites before eradication. Here, we reveal the genetic identity for one of the last Echinococcus isolates in Iceland, obtained from a sheep 46 years ago (1977). We sequenced a large portion of the mitochondrial genome (8141 bp) and identified the isolate as Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto genotype G1. As G1 is known to be highly infective genotype to humans, it may partly explain why such a large proportion of human population in Iceland was infected at a time . The study demonstrates that decades-old samples hold significant potential to uncover genetic identities of parasites in the past.
The doctrine of participation in Augustine'stotus Christusecclesiology
Authors: Fogleman Alex 
Published: April 2023

AbstractAugustine's understanding of the church as part of thetotus Christus– the ‘whole Christ’ – has become an important resource in contemporary theology, offering a robust vision of the church's union with God. Yet a key critique maintains that it threatens to elide the distinction between the perfected Christ and the created church. This article addresses this issue by asking how thetotus Christusdoctrine relates to the doctrine of participation. For Augustine, participation is a metaphysical category that expresses the creature's dependent, non-divine status, its essential being out of nothing. Thetotus Christusdoctrine is most explicitly an exegetical, not metaphysical doctrine. Nevertheless, by putting these two facets of Augustine's thought together, we can see the way in which they mutually reinforce the view that the astonishing claims of unity in thetotus Christusare structured by a larger theological grammar that distinguishes God and creature.
Problématiques d’accumulation chez les aînés : l’expérience de proches aidants québécois au sein des services communautaires et publics
Authors: Moreau Annik , Dallaire Bernadette 
Published: April 2023

RésuméCette recherche qualitative traite de la situation des proches aidants des aînés composant avec une problématique d’accumulation (trouble d’accumulation compulsive, autonégligence, syndrome de Diogène). Il s’agit d’un contexte de la proche aidance qui a été jusqu’à maintenant peu étudié, où les réalités du vieillissement et de la santé mentale sont en interaction. Onze proches aidants et huit intervenants sociaux des régions de la Capitale-Nationale et de Chaudière-Appalaches ont participé à des entretiens semi-dirigés, lesquels ont été soumis à une analyse thématique de contenu. Nos résultats indiquent que malgré l’interaction du vieillissement et de problématiques de santé mentale, ce sont les enjeux liés au vieillissement qui déclenchent le début de la proche aidance, puis le maintien de cet engagement dans la durée. Ils nous montrent aussi que des efforts de concertation et de coordination devraient être déployés afin que les différents acteurs interpellés prévoient des trajectoires de services pour la personne âgée et les proches avant que le problème d’accumulation engendre des enjeux de sécurité importants. Dans ces trajectoires, les organisations sociosanitaires gagneraient à davantage reconnaître les savoirs des proches et à mettre à leur disposition les services requis pour répondre à leurs besoins spécifiques.
