description: Circular Economy concept (CE) revolves aims enhancing resource efficiency through product lifecycle in technical or biological cycles. The former aims to enhance resource efficiency through waste reduction, recycling, reuse, reducing material consumption, and so on. While in the latter, biodegradable materials are returned to earth through processes like composting. There is a lack of comprehensive theorization of CE concept, when focus is supply chain management/value regeneration at technical cycle. Such a lack and consequently a generic understanding can hinder realizing the full potential of CE. This research aims to propose a theorization of CE in the technical cycle through a supply chain management lens. To this end, the systems engineering approach and life cycle assessment (LCA) are integrated to analyse and theorize the circular supply chain/value regeneration. This paper proposed the novel perspective of supply chain as a system of systems (SoS), which allows identifying the enablers, players, and interactions that influence the realization of CE by implementing its known R-strategies. This paper suggested modification of the existing functional unit definition in LCA method such that the proposed definition takes into account the dynamic/evolving boundary of a supply chain when integrating the R-strategies. Moreover, this paper proposed the 'CE system context' for the supply chain SoS. The proposed structured approach allows the development of the Supply chain SoS within its CE context (Supply Chain SoS-CE context). Certain measures are introduced to assess the effectiveness of integrating R-strategies assuring they contribute to CE realization while network theory concepts are used to assess the criticality of various players in Supply Chain SoS-CE context. A roadmap for development of 'Supply Chain SoS-CE context' is introduced in the light of Industry 4.0.

description: We present a simple yet rigorous theory of integration that is based on two axioms rather than on a construction involving Riemann sums. With several examples we demonstrate how to set up integrals in applications of calculus without using Riemann sums. In our axiomatic approach even the proof of the existence of the definite integral (which does use Riemann sums) becomes slightly more elegant than the conventional one. We also discuss an interesting connection between our approach and the history of calculus. The article is written for readers who teach calculus and its applications. It might be accessible to students under a teacher's supervision and suitable for senior projects on calculus, real analysis, or history of mathematics.

description: Due to the trend of electrification in the automotive industry, the economic production of electric drives with high acoustic quality requirements is a crucial factor to stay competitive in the global market. Low noise levels in the interior are an important criterion for the perceived quality of electric vehicles. Consequently, the noise generated by mounted gear components within integrated electric drive topologies must be minimized. Gears with unavoidable manufacturing deviations are usually randomly assembled, leading to random non-defined gear-related acoustic properties of the assembled electric drive. Furthermore, parameters of the gear manufacturing machines do not dynamically adapt to unknown changes in the production system leading to non-ideal quality output. To address these challenges, this paper presents a self-optimization concept in gear manufacturing and assembly in the production of electric drives by cognition enhanced control. A digital twin is developed which estimates the transmission error based on in-line measurements. Through optimization, an optimal selection of gear pairs is achieved. Based on quality predictions, adaptive control of the gear manufacturing process can be implemented, leading towards a closed-loop self-optimization of the production system. The concept is developed and validated using an exemplary use case from the commercial vehicle industry.

description: A quantum version of the Matching Pennies (MP) game is proposed that is played using an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm (EPR-Bohm) setting. We construct the quantum game without using the state vectors, while considering only the quantum mechanical joint probabilities relevant to the EPR-Bohm setting. We embed the classical game within the quantum game such that the classical MP game results when the quantum mechanical joint probabilities become factorizable. We report new Nash equilibria in the quantum MP game that emerge when the quantum mechanical joint probabilities maximally violate the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt form of Bell's inequality.

description: End-of-Life (EOL) products in remanufacturing are prone to a high degree of uncertainty in terms of product quantity and quality. Therefore, the industrial shift towards a circular economy emphasizes the need for agile and hybrid disassembly systems. These systems feature a dynamic material flow. Besides that, they combine the endurance of robots with the dexterity of human operators for an effective and economically reasonable EOL-product treatment. Moreover, being reconfigurable, agile disassembly systems allow an alignment of their functional and quantitative capacity to volatile production programs. However, changes in both the system configuration and the production program to be processed call for adaptive approaches to production control. This paper proposes a multi-priority rule heuristic combined with an optimization tool for adaptive re-parameterization. First, domain-specific priority rules are introduced and incorporated into a weighted priority function for disassembly task allocation. Besides that, a novel metaheuristic parameter optimizer is devised to facilitate the adaption of weights in response to evolving requirements in a reasonable timeframe. Different metaheuristics such as simulated annealing or particle swarm optimization are incorporated as black-box optimizers. Subsequently, the performance of these metaheuristics is meticulously evaluated across six distinct test cases, employing discrete event simulation for evaluation, with a primary focus on measuring both speed and solution quality. To gauge the efficacy of the approach, a robust set of weights is employed as a benchmark. Encouragingly, the results of the experimentation reveal that the metaheuristics exhibit a notable proficiency in rapidly identifying high-quality solutions. The results are promising in that the metaheuristics can quickly find reasonable solutions, thus illustrating the compelling potential in enhancing the efficiency of agile disassembly systems.

description: Partendo dalla relazione tra arte e scienza, si è voluto indagare ulteriormente sul rapporto rappresentazione-geometria dell’immagine. Affinché esso abbia un senso, bisogna porre l’attenzione sulla raffigurazione dello spazio, una rappresentazione ottenuta mediante artifici scientificamente corretti per la riproposizione di spazi reali con particolare riferimento alla rappresentazione prospettica dell’architettura in pittura. Si è giunti alla riconfigurazione di uno spazio virtuale, popolato da architetture illusionistiche di chiara matrice scenografica, partendo da un’indagine sulla prospettiva, dalle più antiche sperimentazioni per giungere poi ad un uso specializzato da parte di architetti-pittori e pittori-architetti, che hanno fatto della prospettiva, il mezzo più idoneo per affascinare, incantare ed ingannare lo spettatore.

description: We analyze the loop quantization of the family of vacuum Bianchi I spacetimes, a gravitational system whose classical solutions describe homogeneous anisotropic cosmologies. We rigorously construct the operator that represents the Hamiltonian constraint, showing that the states of zero volume completely decouple from the rest of quantum states. This fact ensures that the classical cosmological singularity is resolved in the quantum theory. In addition, this allows us to adopt an equivalent quantum description in terms of a well defined densitized Hamiltonian constraint. This latter constraint can be regarded in a certain sense as a difference evolution equation in an internal time provided by one of the triad components, which is polymerically quantized. Generically, this evolution equation is a relation between the projection of the quantum states in three different sections of constant internal time. Nevertheless, around the initial singularity the equation involves only the two closest sections with the same orientation of the triad. This has a double effect: on the one hand, physical states are determined just by the data on one section, on the other hand, the evolution defined in this way never crosses the singularity, without the need of any special boundary condition. Finally, we provide these physical states with a Hilbert structure, completing the quantization.

description: As energy systems become increasingly complex with integrating multiple-energy carrier devices, there is a growing need for advanced energy management systems that can effectively coordinate and control the diverse elements within the system. This paper presents a novel architecture for energy management systems explicitly designed for energy systems with multiple-energy carrier devices. The proposed control architecture encompasses three distinct levels: the device level, the subsystem level, and the system level. Each level incorporates operation models that are the foundation for implementing use cases in operation targets. The overall concept combines a bottom-up and top-down approach, where operational goals are transferred from the upper to the lower levels and, conversely, the lower levels communicate state adjustments to their respective upper levels, enabling feedback based on the established goals. A unified input-output data exchange is introduced to increase the control architecture's applicability. The interaction between the individual levels of the control architecture makes it possible to implement use case-dependent operation targets. Their execution is carried out through dedicated operation models representing devices and logical control structures capturing state-change processes. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the proposed control architecture by applying it to the energy system of the industrial research platform WAVE-H2, with multiple-energy carriers, heat, hydrogen, and electricity. This work highlights the proposed architecture's potential for adaptability regarding complex energy systems and facilitating efficient operation.
A note on artificial deformation in object shapes due to the pixelization

description: We qualitatively examine properties of artificial deformation in shapes of objects (galaxies and stars) induced by the pixelization effects (also called as the aliasing effects) using toy mock simulation images. We pay a special attention to the the second pixelization because it might be a potential source of a systematic noise in a weak lensing analysis. In particular, it is found that resampling with rotation induces artificial ellipticities in object shapes having a periodic concentric-circle-shaped pattern. Our major findings are as follows. (1) Root-mean-square (RMS) of artificial ellipticities in object shapes induced by the first pixelization effect can be as large as RMS > 10^-2 if a characteristic size of objects (e.g., the FWHM) is smaller than twice of the pixel size. While for larger objects, it quickly becomes very small (RMS < 10^-5). (2) The amplitude of the shape deformation induced by the second pixelization effect depends on the object size. It also depends strongly on an interpolation scheme adopted to carry out resampling and on the grid size of the output pixels. The RMS of ellipticities in object shapes induced by the second pixelization effect can be suppressed to well below 10^{-2} if one adopts a proper interpolation scheme (implemented in popular image processing softwares). We also discuss an impact of the pixelization effects on a weak lensing analysis.

description: Manufacturing companies today face a volatile environment with a variety of challenges. Particularly, external factors such as the climate change, the digitalization, the material scarcity, or the shortage of skilled workers can be noted. At the same time, these factors are forcing companies to take measures to remain competitive and ensure their production system's future viability. In this context, established paradigms such as Lean Production and Industry 4.0 promise optimization potentials in terms of efficiency, quality, and costs. A new paradigm has gained importance with the emergence of the topic of sustainability, which aims to improve companies' use of resources and the recyclability of their products. However, there is no transparent model that enables companies to assess the status quo of their production system regarding these three paradigms, considering the interdependencies between the paradigms, and at the same time showing the implementation potential of methods or technologies within these paradigms. To support companies in rationalizing, digitalizing, and making their production processes more sustainable, this scientific paper presents a three-stage concept for a holistic maturity model. By providing transparency about the status quo of production systems in terms of Lean Production, digitalization, and sustainability, the model contributes to ensuring the future viability of such production systems in this highly competitive environment and under the political, social, and regulatory challenges.
Analisi idro-meccanica di colate di argilla sulla base del monitoraggio di un sito sperimentale
Creators: name: Giammarino, Antonella
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2010

description: Una colata di argilla è un movimento di terreno dislocato che si sposta dalla zona di alimentazione, cui il materiale perviene ad opera di frane di primo distacco o di fenomeni erosivi, si muove nel canale di flusso e si deposita in un’area di accumulo, caratterizzata da pendenze generalmente modeste del piano campagna.
La peculiarità di queste frane è di subire un processo continuo di evoluzione morfologica e cinematica, attraversando stati di attività diversi e caratterizzati da velocità di spostamento che variano tra i m/giorno delle fasi di attivazione o riattivazione ed i mm/anno delle fasi ‘mature’. L’evoluzione morfologica della colata nel tempo è probabilmente conseguenza dell’evoluzione del materiale, che può presentare stati di consistenza da fluido-plastico a solido, in funzione del contenuto d’acqua (che a sua volta muta nel tempo).
Dagli anni ’80 il Dipartimento di Ingegneria Geotecnica dell’Università di Napoli Federico II (prima Istituto di Tecnica delle Fondazioni e Costruzioni di Terra ed oggi Dipartimento di Ingegneria Idraulica, Geotecnica ed Ambientale) si è interessato allo studio delle colate di argilla, che sono le frane più diffuse nei terreni a struttura complessa dell’Appennino meridionale.
In particolare, nel 1990 iniziò il monitoraggio di tre siti nell’Alta Valle del Basento (Pz): Masseria Marino, Acqua di Luca e Masseria De Nicola.
Il presente lavoro di tesi è volto alla modellazione dei fenomeni osservati in uno dei siti sperimentali, quello di Masseria Marino, attraverso la riproduzione della colata con un codice di calcolo agli elementi finiti. Una parte consistente del lavoro è stata dedicata alla ricerca di una legge costitutiva adeguata al problema in studio, attraverso l’indagine sulle caratteristiche reologiche dei terreni prelevati in sito e l’esecuzione di analisi numeriche. La sperimentazione di laboratorio è consistita in una serie di prove in reometro, svolte presso il Laboratorio di Ingegneria Chimica della Seconda Università di Napoli ed in prove in cella triassiale di Bishop direttamente finalizzate allo studio del creep. Nelle simulazioni numeriche, eseguite con il codice di calcolo commerciale Plaxis2D, è stato riprodotto il reale profilo della frana di Masseria Marino, adottando per i terreni del corpo di colata tre differenti modelli costitutivi: un modello elastico-perfettamente plastico (Mohr Coulomb), scelto per la semplicità della legge costitutiva; un modello elastico non lineare-plastico con incrudimento isotropo (Soft Soil), più realistico nell’interpretazione del comportamento tensio-deformativo di un terreno molle, come quello che in genere costituisce il corpo delle colate, ed infine un modello elasto-viscoplastico (Soft Soil Creep) che porta in conto anche il parametro tempo, affatto trascurabile in fenomeni come le colate di argilla che hanno cicli di vita pluridecennali.

Nello specifico il fine dello studio di caso è quello di analizzare i percorsi occupazionali dei dottori di ricerca dal VI al XX ciclo.
La tesi ha inizio richiamando i termini del dibattito sociologico sulla precarizzazione e l’aumento dell’incertezza nella società attuale, interrogandosi sul modo in cui gli elementi di incertezza e precarietà entrano anche nei percorsi di alta formazione. Essa prosegue prendendo in considerazione i principali provvedimenti legislativi riguardanti il reclutamento nell’Università e l’analisi delle nuove figure di docenti a contratto, assegnasti di ricerca, personale occupato n attività di tutorato che segnano le iniziali tappe del percorso di carriera dei dottori di ricerca, soprattutto all’interno dell’Università.
Al fine di contestualizzare al meglio lo studio di caso sono analizzate le principali ricerche sugli sbocchi dei dottori di ricerca in Italia ed in Europa. Lo studio di caso, attraverso l’analisi delle risposte ad un questionario (contenente domande chiuse e aperte), ricostruisce i percorsi formativi e di carriera dei dottori di ricerca. L’attenzione maggiore è posta proprio sui percorsi di carriera analizzandoli nello specifico al fine di individuarne tipologie ricorrenti, tenendo conto delle risorse possedute e delle strategie personali intraprese dai dottori.

description: During the assembly of a control cabinet, a major time-consuming step is the wiring of the included components. Hence, automating this step will noticeably reduce production costs. According to the planning, wires are routed through wire ducts and connected to components. While a comprehensive digital twin can be computed for the included components, this twin is missing a proper modelling of the connecting wires. For these, only a rough route through the wire ducts is given. However, a physically plausible model is an important prerequisite to perform reliable path planning for automated assembly. The paper addresses this need for accurate wire path computation during automated cabinet assembly and introduces a method to compute realistic wire paths through the wire ducts. Different models with and without a fixed wire length are presented and compared. An evolutionary algorithm optimizes the corresponding variables of the models. As described, both approaches yield valid paths, although the fixed length model appears to be able to compute more realistic paths.

description: Lithium metal anodes (LMA) have gained significant attention for their potential to revolutionize rechargeable battery technology, offering high theoretical capacity and low electrode potential. Their implementation in various applications, such as electric vehicles and portable electronics, holds the promise of significantly improving energy density and battery performance. Additionally, the successful integration of lithium metal anodes remains a crucial and yet-to-be-resolved challenge in the development of All-Solid-State Batteries (ASSBs), which aim to provide safer and more efficient energy storage systems. Overcoming the production challenges associated with lithium metal anodes is essential for realizing their full potential. This paper presents a comprehensive technology analysis and evaluation of production methods for lithium metal anodes. The analysis explores various techniques and their potential for mass production. Furthermore, this analysis evaluates the viability of each approach by considering factors such as the potential for performance improvement, cost savings, quality enhancement, and the technology readiness level. The paper outlines future directions for the development of these techniques while focusing on the liquid-based processing approach, aiming to address quality issues and enhance its scalability for large-scale production. In conclusion, this technology analysis and evaluation underscores the potential of liquid-based manufacturing technology for the mass production of high-quality lithium metal anodes and highlights the need to overcome production challenges. An approach is presented that offers a way to work through the challenge of LMA production, paving the way to next-generation battery cells.

description: In the context of ongoing digitalization, manufacturing companies face new challenges and the need to expand their portfolios to include new digital services. Enriching their portfolio with digital services can be an opportunity for manufacturing companies to position themselves in emerging collaborative production networks and thus make their business model fit for the future. The paper ties in with the activities from the Product Lifecycle Enrichment as a Service (PLCEaaS) research project. Within this context, use cases for digital services have already been derived, modelled, and documented in various workshops. The respective digital services directly address external customers and internal stakeholders from development. The central enabler for the new digital services is the digital twin based on the asset administration shell, which makes the necessary data available and thus supports interoperability. The asset administration shell is enriched with use case-specific submodels. The procedure for structuring these submodels is shown in this paper using the research project as an example. This includes modelling the digital services with a standardized modelling language based on the semi-structured use cases described so far. As a result, we obtain an asset administration shell enriched with several submodels - some of which may be based on standardization activities already underway or represent proprietary submodels. Likewise, it is considered whether more submodels are required to implement the domain-specific use cases that are currently not yet addressed in standardization activities. The paper ends with an outlook on the further research activities that are necessary to prototype the planned project and describes which criteria can be used to evaluate the defined submodels in the later course of the project.

description: To address non-point heavy metal pollutant sources to urban stormwater runoff, the LIDMATTM (Low Impact Development MAT) is a stormwater management runoff system designed and manufactured for effective treatment for heavy metals. The LIDMATTM contains approximately 70% sand, 25% manure compost, and 5% steel slag by mass. The LIDMATTM was evaluated based on flow rate, pH, heavy metal removal, and the concentrations of N and P leached; conditions for optimum removal have been quantified. For treating synthetic stormwater runoff, 12 trials were completed using bench-scale and column media testing systems. Average effluent event mean concentrations of all trials were 25 ± 10 μg/L Cu, 21 ± 13 μg/L Pb, and 57 ± 42 μg/L Zn from studies at influent concentrations of 500 μg/L, 300 μg/L, and 100 μg/L, which satisfy Numeric Action Levels (NALs) of Cu, Pb, and Zn by the state of California, USA, Industrial General Permit (IGP). The leaching of nitrogen and phosphorous were also below the NALs.

description: The stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) shows an efficient technique that accurately transfers population between two discrete quantum states with the same parity, in three-level quantum systems based on adiabatic evolution. This technique has widely theoretical and experimental applications in many fields of physics, chemistry, and beyond. Here, we present a generally robust approach to speed up STIRAP with invariant-based shortcut to adiabaticity. By controlling the dynamical process, we inversely design a family of Hamiltonians that can realize fast and accurate population transfer from the first to the third level, while the systematic error is largely suppressed in general. Furthermore, a detailed trade-off relation between the population of the intermediate state and the amplitudes of Rabi frequencies in the transfer process is illustrated. These results provide an optimal route toward manipulating the evolution of three-level quantum systems in future quantum information processing.

description: The digital twin is a core technology for implementing Industry 4.0 scenarios in scientific and industrial applications. One upcoming variant of the digital twin is the concept of the asset administration shell, representing an approach to standardization. This approach must be adapted to specific use cases and applied in a target-oriented manner. However, no comprehensive guidance exists on structuring and implementing asset administration shells based on the digital twin in manufacturing environments. This issue pertains to defining and organizing the relevant data and mapping domain-specific limitations and characteristics within the hierarchical structure of the asset administration shell's components. This paper introduces an approach to structuring the asset administration shell to address this gap. This approach capitalizes on domain-specific expertise, industry standards, and established best practices, providing a framework. We validate the presented approach by applying it to the use case of distributed high-rate electrolyser production. The overarching objective of this research is to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications.
Lipoxygenase pathways in marine diatoms: identification, occurrence  and regulation of  lipolytic acyl hydrolases (LAHs)
Creators: name: Adelfi, Maria Grazia
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2013

description: Diatoms are eukaryotic microalgae broadly present in freshwater and marine ecosystems. They are responsible for about 40% of the marine primary production and 20% of global primary production.
The organic material formed through these processes is at the bases of the marine food chain and, in this way, supports the entire life on the planet. About the physiological and ecological studies on diatoms, however, only in recent years has begun to understand the molecular aspects. In analogy with higher plants and brown algae, diatoms possess lipoxygenase able to produce oxygenated compounds of poly-unsaturated fatty acids. In diatoms, these molecules, generically called oxylipins, show an unusual structural variability that seems to depend on genetic diversity. It is believed that the oxylipins have functions of intraspecific or interspecific chemical signal, however, these studies have always been limited by the lack of knowledge of the molecular mechanisms that regulate the biosynthesis of these compounds. Based on functional and tracer studies, it has been proposed that the process leading to the formation of oxylipins is due to a galactolipid hydrolyzing activity that, like lipolytic acyl hydrolases (LAHs) of land plants, is also capable of converting phospholipids. This doctoral study has focused the molecular identification of lipolytic acid hydrolases (LAHs), in three ecologically relevant diatoms: Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata, Pseudo-nitzschia arenysensis, and Skeletonema marinoi.

description: Food fussiness is characterised by the rejection of familiar and novel foods, resulting in a diet that is inadequately varied and has negative implications for children’s current and future health. Food fussiness negatively affects family relationships and parental stress. Given these negative consequences, a strong understanding of risk factors for food fussiness is important for prevention and the development of effective interventions. Previously identified correlates and predictors of food fussiness include child temperament, child sensory hyperreactivity, maternal psychopathology, maternal core beliefs and maternal use of controlling feeding practices. To date there is a lack of studies examining these factors together. This thesis explored food fussiness in children aged 2-4 years. It comprised four studies: 1. Study 1 determined the relationship between child temperament, maternal psychopathology, maternal core beliefs and maternal self-esteem and food fussiness and found emotional child temperament to have the strongest association with food fussiness. 2. Study 2 validated maternal reported food fussiness against independently rated child food rejection and acceptance behaviours and found the food fussiness subscale of the Child Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ; Wardle, Guthrie, Sanderson, and Rapoport, 2001) to be a valid measure of food fussiness. 3. Study 3 examined how emotional child temperament interacts with maternal feeding practices to explain food fussiness. Results showed that maternal use of verbal pressure and physical prompts moderated the relationship between emotional temperament and food fussiness. 4. Study 4 examined the relationship between food fussiness and both emotional temperament and sensory hyperreactivity. Results showed that sensory hyperreactivity in tactile, taste and olfactory sensory domains was positively associated with food fussiness. In addition, sensory hyperreactivity explained variance in food fussiness over and above emotional temperament. The findings highlighted child and maternal correlates of food fussiness in young children. The thesis concluded with the recommendation that children’s emotional temperament and sensory hyperreactivity, as well as mothers’ feeding practices, should be considered in the development of interventions designed to prevent and address food fussiness.

description: Due to advanced connectivity and increasing distribution of product-service, more and more data is available from the products used and produced. Scientific publications often describe that this product data can be applied in product development to make it more efficient and that the digital twin can play a central role in data provision and interoperability. However, less attention is paid to how the digital twin should be designed for this purpose and how it should be adequately modelled for these use cases. Therefore, this paper presents a structured literature review to analyse which methods are already described in science to model digital twins in a target-oriented way for use cases of data-driven product development. Not only are the procedures interesting, but also the type of digital twin for which they are intended and whether they describe the procedure at the level of a rough macrostructure or detailed microstructure.

description: Adoption processes in socio-technological systems have been widely studied both empirically and theoretically. The way in which social norms, behaviors, and even items such as books, music, or other commercial or technological product spread in a population is usually modeled as a process of social contagion, in which the agents of a social system can infect their neighbors on the underlying network of social contacts. More recently, various models have also been proposed to reproduce the typical dynamics of a process of discovery, in which an agent explores a space of relations between ideas or items in search for novelties. In both types of processes, the structure of the underlying networks, respectively, the network of social contacts in the first case, and the network of relations among items in the second one, plays a fundamental role. However, the two processes have been traditionally seen and studied independently. Here, we provide a brief overview of the existing models of social spreading and exploration and of the latest advancements in both directions. We propose to look at them as two complementary aspects of the same adoption process: on the one hand, there are items spreading over a social network of individuals influencing each other, and on the other hand, individuals explore a network of similarities among items to adopt. The two-fold nature of the approach proposed opens up new stimulating challenges for the scientific community of network and data scientists. We conclude by outlining some possible directions that we believe may be relevant to be explored in the coming years.

Money. Groundwork for a study of social relations, power and institutional change

description: The intellectual debate on money is often portrayed as a rather Manichean diatribe between two opposing traditions: on the one hand the orthodox, grounded in a ‘real’ analysis, and championing the primacy of a commodity-money; on the other hand the heterodox, based on a ‘nominal’ analysis, and advocating the primacy of a credit-money. Both traditions claim to know better the nature of money: whereas the orthodox envisages in the medium of exchange the ultimate essence of money, the heterodox attributes ontological primacy to the measure of value – or else the ‘money of account’. And yet, neither of the two traditions is concerned with comprehending the significance of money: why it is important to us, why we recognise it first of all as value. This work therefore tries to outline a comprehensive discourse on the significance of money as value. In particular, the first part is dedicated to a critique of heterodox and alternative theories of money, including Geoffrey Ingham’s major sociological contribution, The nature of money (2004). The second part instead engages with an ontological and epistemological problematisation of the phenomenon, coupled with a brief phenomenology of money 'out of nothing' and a genealogy of the currency.
title: Lawyers Changing Lives: A Narrative Study of Progressive Lawyering (1968-2018)

description: This thesis investigates how, and why, lawyers pursue social change. The progressive lawyering movement has been subject to limited analysis to date, yet the stories of those lawyers working within it allow us to develop a richer understanding of social justice legal practice across public and private spaces; and the links between personal, professional and cultural identity. As a lawyer who works at the intersection of legal education and practice in access to justice and human rights, I take a reflexive ethnographic approach using narrative methodology to capture the stories of lawyers working to positively transform law and policy in the UK over the last fifty years. Underpinned by theories of cause lawyering and legal mobilisation, the thesis argues that it is vital to understand the positions that progressive lawyers collectively take in order to frame the connections they make between their personal and professional lives, the tools they use to achieve social change, as well as ethical tensions presented by their work. I interrogate how lawyers’ networks facilitate their collective positioning and influence their strategic decision-making, which in turn shape their interactions with social activists, with other lawyers and with the state itself. Themes of class and social mobility are relevant to the study, which is inspired by widening access to the profession. The principal aim of the thesis is to describe and define the collective identity of the progressive lawyering movement in the UK and to highlight the importance of sustaining the movement in the context of cuts to legal aid, social welfare reforms and wider pressures on the justice system.
