Vulnerable Identities: Political Agency and the European Court of Human Rights Case Law
Creators: name: Iacovone, Luca
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2019

description: The aim of this paper is to analyze the effects of the vulnerable group-based approach in the case law of European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). ECtHR mostly use the notion of vulnerability to identify, isolate and protect some specific groups of population. I will highlight two important effects of these policies: the construction and affirmation of stable identities and the consequent limitation of the political agency of the social actors through the boundaries defined by the list of the available vulnerable groups. I will conclude the paper by providing a different, multifaced conception of vulnerability meant to take into account at the same time its universality and its specificity.

description: Observations of the solar corona and the solar wind discover that the solar wind is unsteady and originates from the impulsive events near the surface of the Sun's atmosphere. How solar coronal activities affect the properties of the solar wind is a fundamental issue in heliophysics. We report a simulation and theoretical investigation of how nanoflare accelerated electron beams affect the kinetic-scale properties of the solar wind and generate coherent radio emission. We show that nanoflare-accelerated electron beams can trigger a nonlinear electron two stream instability, which generates kinetic Alfvén and whistler waves, as well as a non-Maxwellian electron velocity distribution function, consistent with observations of the solar wind. The plasma coherent emission produced in our model agrees well with the observations of Type III, J and V solar radio bursts. Open questions in the kinetic solar wind model are also discussed.

description: We report on the result of some investigations concerning the radiative decays of decuplet baryons and the non-leptonic weak decays of the octet baryons in the context of topological chiral soliton models. Our results are compared with those of alternative baryon models. For the radiative decays we find that the predictions are similar to those of quark models. In the case of the non-leptonic weak decays, we find that although the predicted S-wave amplitudes are in rather good agreement with the observed values, the model is not able to reproduce the empirical P-wave amplitudes. Thus, in contrast to previous expectations, the Skyrme model does not seem to provide a solution to the long-standing 'S-wave/P-wave puzzle'.

description: Der Übergang von der Schule in eine betriebliche Grundbildung stellt eine normative Entwicklungsaufgabe für Jugendliche dar und führt zur organisationalen Sozialisation von angehenden Berufspersonen. Bisherige Erkenntnisse deuten darauf hin, dass es gerade im beruflichen Umfeld an Verständnis für Jugendliche in diesem Prozess fehlt, was zu beeinträchtigten Entwicklungschancen in der betrieblichen Integration führen kann. Aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse decken die entwicklungspsychologische Sichtweise von den Jugendlichen kaum ab. Die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit untersucht somit mittels qualitativem Forschungsansatz explorativer Tendenz und problemzentrierten leitfadengestützten Interviews, wie Jugendliche Fachfrauen/-männer Gesundheit EFZ die organisationale Sozialisation ab Eintritt in den Betrieb erleben und welche Bewältigungsstrategien angewendet werden. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen, dass die betriebliche Sozialisation aufgrund der Entwicklungsphase im Jugendalter ein höchstkomplexer Prozess darstellt. Die Studie zeigt, dass aus der Perspektive der Jugendlichen soziale Integrationsprozesse wie Erlangung von Teamzugehörigkeit und das Fühlen von Akzeptanz in sämtlichen Phasen des Sozialisationsprozesses als das bedeutendste und zugleich herausforderndste Element hervorgehen. Ebenso deuten die Ergebnisse darauf hin, dass der erzielte Grad an Teamintegration, das Ausmass an Zugehörigkeit sowie Akzeptanz für die Jugendlichen Indikatoren für das subjektive Erfolgserlebnis von organisationaler Sozialisation darstellen. Jugendliche setzten eine Kombination aus problem- und emotionsorientierten Strategien ein, um den Prozess zu bewältigen. Als besonders relevant zeigen sich dabei Peers, die Beziehung zu ausbildungsverantwortlichen Personen sowie die Teamdynamik. Um als Ausbildungsbetrieb Jugendliche in dieser fragilen Phase erfolgreich in den Betrieb zu integrieren, sind Massnahmen wie beispielsweise ein gezielter Beziehungsaufbau zu ausbildungsverantwortlichen Personen, die Sensibilisierung des beruflichen Umfeldes auf die Adoleszenz und deren Bedeutung, sowie die Förderung von Peerinteraktionen praktische Implikationen. Dies, damit individuelle Herausforderungen eruiert und begleitet werden können. Die entwicklungspsychologische Darlegung zeigt einen hohen Stellenwert betrieblicher Massnahmen auf, damit junge Berufspersonen sich erfolgreich im Betrieb etablieren können.

description: Traditionally, machine learning-based clinical prediction models have been trained and evaluated on patient data from a single source, such as a hospital. Cross-validation methods can be used to estimate the accuracy of such models on new patients originating from the same source, by repeated random splitting of the data. However, such estimates tend to be highly overoptimistic when compared to accuracy obtained from deploying models to sources not represented in the dataset, such as a new hospital. The increasing availability of multi-source medical datasets provides new opportunities for obtaining more comprehensive and realistic evaluations of expected accuracy through source-level cross-validation designs.
 In this study, we present a systematic empirical evaluation of standard K-fold cross-validation and leave-source-out cross-validation methods in a multi-source setting. We consider the task of electrocardiogram based cardiovascular disease classification, combining and harmonizing the openly available PhysioNet CinC Challenge 2021 and the Shandong Provincial Hospital datasets for our study.
 Our results show that K-fold cross-validation, both on single-source and multi-source data, systemically overestimates prediction performance when the end goal is to generalize to new sources. Leave-source-out cross-validation provides more reliable performance estimates, having close to zero bias though larger variability. The evaluation highlights the dangers of obtaining misleading cross-validation results on medical data and demonstrates how these issues can be mitigated when having access to multi-source data.

Revitalizing Political Agency: Contextual Politics against Discrimination
Creators: name: Venditti, Valeria
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2019

description: This article centres on the predicament of political discrimination insofar as inclusive policies fail to address it and end up impoverishing political agency. On the one hand, inclusion plays out as a powerful political tool, as people are believed to gain access to forms of recognition granting legal protection and social visibility. On the other hand, however, my claim is that most models of political inclusion require people’s adhering to fixed policy matrixes that do not allow the articulation of forms of life falling short of the standards that these matrixes incorporate. The following analysis will be devoted to foregrounding the limits of inclusion and to advancing an alternative model that revitalizes political agency by valuing practices carried out in smaller social networks of solidarity – ones that entail some sort of normativity but are characterised by fluidity and proximity. On this alternative account, inclusion comes to be reframed as a web of relations and relocated within the subject’s reach. Whether in a vertical or a horizontal exchange, the subject becomes part of a collective that is not configured as the mainstream or the majority, nor does it saturate the subject’s life. Rather, inclusive processes appear as sectional moments of renegotiation and rearticulation of one’s subjectivity exposed to the constant flux of daily interactions.

Citizenship and Political Agency. A Focus on Forms of Participation for Immigrants at Local Level
Creators: name: Mocchi, Silvia
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2019

description: Immigrants’ political agency is undermined by political marginalization and disenfranchisement. Standardly citizenship acquisition is considered the key to improve immigrant’s exercise of political agency. By contrast, I propose, following Bauböck (2015), a “system of differentiated membership rights” that complements citizenship acquisition with the right to vote in local councils (based on a ius domicilii principle) and with law-making procedures based on a proportionality principle (Brighouse & Fleurbay, 2010). Distribution of power should hence be determined in proportion to people’s stakes in the decision under consideration and any time specific issues related to immigrant’s life arise, they should be provided with special tools (such as veto power) to stop any abuse from the majority.

description: We present a comparative analysis of photometric observations of the cataclysmic variable TT Ari in its bright state, obtained by the TESS orbital observatory in 2021 and 2023 and by ground-based amateur telescopes in 2022. The light curves from 2021 and 2022 are dominated by modulations with a period slightly shorter than the orbital one (negative superhumps), 0.13292 and 0.13273 d respectively. In 2023, much stronger modulations appeared on a much longer time scale of a few days with an amplitude of up to 0.5 mag, compared to 0.2 mag in 2021. The negative superhump variability with the period of 0.1338 d was also found in the 2023 observations, but the significance of these negative superhumps is much lower than in the previous seasons. Less significant additional modulations with a period exceeding the orbital one (positive superhumps) were detected in 2021 and 2022. Their periods were 0.15106 and 0.1523 d, respectively. We also found a previously unnoticed periodic signal corresponding to the orbital period of 0.13755 d in the TESS observations in 2021. Theoretical models of tidal precession of an elliptical disk predict a decrease in the precession period (and an increase in the positive superhumps period) with increasing disk radius, which is consistent with the observed photometric behavior of the system. It enables us to estimate the mass ratio of the components in TT Ari to be $q$ in the range 0.24-0.29. The tilted disk precession model predicts a period of nodal precession whose value is in general agreement with observations.

Gaia luminosities of pulsating A-F stars in the Kepler field

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: All stars in the Kepler field brighter than 12.5 magnitude have been classified according to variability type. A catalogue of δ Scuti and γ Doradus stars is presented. The problem of low frequencies in δ Sct stars, which occurs in over 98 percent of these stars, is discussed. Gaia DR2 parallaxes were used to obtain precise luminosities, enabling the instability strips of the two classes of variable to be precisely defined. Surprisingly, it turns out that the instability region of the γ Dor stars is entirely within the δ Sct instability strip. Thus γDor stars should not be considered a separate class of variable. The observed red and blue edges of the instability strip do not agree with recent model calculations. Stellar pulsation occurs in less than half of the stars in the instability region and arguments are presented to show that this cannot be explained by assuming pulsation at a level too low to be detected. Precise Gaia DR2 luminosities of high-amplitude δ Sct stars (HADS) show that most of these are normal δ Sct stars and not transition objects. It is argued that current ideas on A star envelopes need to be revised.

From “Nobodies” to “Somebodies”: Immigrants’ Struggle between Surviving and Political Agency in Times of Crisis Governance
Creators: name: Latronico, Gaetano Marco
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2019

description: Immigration has become one of the most discussed issues in global political agendas and presents several criticalities. Such criticalities span from immigration management by local, national and transnational institutions, to the enormous flow of people moving across the globe without any certitude about their situation, and the repercussion of this phenomenon on each State’s both internal and foreign policies. All of the above-mentioned crucial situations pose questions which cannot be avoided, yet, don’t have any simple answers. However, for political-philosophical discourses, immigration also exposes in a very critical way what appears to be the inner limits of political analysis, which doesn’t take the complexity of such phenomenon into account. This complexity is not something conjunctural, as various rhetoric of “crisis” would suggest, but it is rather structurally part of the system itself in which it manifests: the contemporary immigration form is namely one of the many faces of what is known as “globalization”, which is essentially connected with the so called “Neo-liberalism”* in politics and “Advanced Capitalism” in economy. In a general framework, impersonal dynamics seem to rule the world by the exercise of global governance that appears to put into question the same political capacity of classically conceived “National States” as primary political actors. Here, uncountable flows of human beings are put in extreme conditions that, on one hand, urge politics itself to elaborate new strategies and, on the other hand, make visible the inner political attitude of these people, who in most of the cases resist, refuse to die, and claim for a decent life.

Vulnerability, Responsibilities and Migration
Creators: name: Pongiglione, Francesca
name: Sala, Roberta
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2019

description: Vulnerability is commonly considered as a feature of human beings on which our duties towards each other are grounded: we ought to help the vulnerable in virtue of their being such. Our duties seem rather clear when those in need are close to us, both physically and culturally, but less so when they are distant in either of the two senses. In this essay we wish to investigate the strength of our duties towards migrants, who are often either culturally or physically distant, yet vulnerable by definition – fleeing from wars, dictatorships, poverty, climate change, or other calamities. The view we aim to defend, is that our duties towards them, unlike what has been suggested by David Miller, are duties of justice, not of beneficence, and involve duties to host. This, we claim, is owed to migrants’ very vulnerability, which is not due to some kind of misfortune, but, eventually, to some form of injustice. We will also claim that taking into account migrants’ own responsibility, either as individuals or as members of a collectivity, is of no practical use when establishing our duties to host them.

description: We study nonperturbative corrections to the inclusive rare decay B -> X_s l^+ l^- by performing an operator product expansion (OPE) to O(1/m_b^3). The values of the matrix elements entering at this order are unknown and introduce uncertainties into physical quantities. We study uncertainties introduced into the partially integrated rate, moments of the hadronic spectrum, as well as the forward-backward asymmetry. We find that for large dilepton invariant mass q^2 > M_{ψ'}^2 these uncertainties are large. We also assess the possibility of extracting the HQET parameters λ_1 and \barΛ using data from this process.

description: Purpose To assess gender differences in COVID-19 related changes in home and work responsibilities longitudinally, and determine whether these differences, together with other potential risk and protective factors, are associated with depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology. Method Symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD were measured using an online survey instrument, between May 2020 and April 2021, in four waves completed at 3-monthly intervals. Analyses were based on data from the COvid MEntal healTh (COMET) survey which investigated the mental health effects of the COVID-19 outbreak spanning 13 countries on five continents in N = 7,909 participants. Results From the first to the last wave, women reported a greater increase in home and work responsibilities, and had higher depression, anxiety and PTSD scores compared to men. Women who reported a reduction in income due to the pandemic had higher depression scores. Working harder and experiencing a reduction in income were also associated with higher anxiety scores in women but not in men. Women were more likely to score above the cut-off for depression (32.5% vs 23.6%, p < .001), anxiety (21.2% vs 14.4%, p < .001) and PTSD (21.2% vs 14.4%, p < .001) than men during the first wave. Stronger reliance on socially supported coping mechanisms was a risk factor for depression, anxiety and PTSD in men and women. Conclusion Women were more likely to report mental health problems which may be related to the gender disproportionate increase in home and work responsibilities but not necessarily due to COVID-19 stressors.
The Metamorphosis of Aliens into Political Agents
Creators: name: Repetto, Elettra
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2019

description: Considering being political not as a status, but rather as an act that demands both capacity and action as its necessary conditions, I see being a political agent not as a permanent condition, but rather in a twofold dimension of potentiality and actuality. Moreover, I contend that the right to vote is not a necessary, nor a sufficient condition for being a political actor, although such a right can enhance our possibilities of having a say, augmenting one’s degree of political agency. This means that those individuals who are deprived of the right to vote, undocumented migrants in particular, can nonetheless be political agents in the polity. Indeed, notwithstanding the importance attached to the right to vote and to citizenship as fundamental for political participation, I claim that undocumented migrants are political although lacking the legal voting means of participation. Although much of the debate around migrants’ political participation has centred around the extension of the right to vote to migrants, there are in fact other rights that require attention. Moreover, even if we consider the right to vote as essential to protect people from abuses granting them a say within the polity, the arguments that have been proposed fail when it comes to recognize the rights and the political agency of undocumented migrants. In my understanding, migrants become political agents by their very same acting in the city, deserving to be heard and let free to express themselves in voicing their claims as subjects of justice, autonomous individuals, final units of our moral concern.

Here, we show that an oscillating spin current can be generated in the film via the application of a femtosecond laser pulse in the visible range. In particular, we prove that the spin current is due to ballistic electrons traveling back and forth in the film. The dependence of the current intensity on the driving electric field is also investigated.

description: Quantum effects play a significant role in nanometric plasmonic devices, such as small metal clusters and metallic nanoshells. For structures containing a large number of electrons, ab-initio methods such as the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) are often impractical because of severe computational constraints. Quantum hydrodynamics (QHD) offers a valuable alternative by representing the electron population as a continuous fluid medium evolving under the action of the self-consistent and external fields. Although relatively simple, QHD can incorporate quantum and nonlinear effects, nonlocal effects such as the electron spillout, as well as exchange and correlations. Here, we show an application of the QHD methods to the plasmonic breathing oscillations in metallic nanoshells. We illustrate the main advantages of this approach by comparing systematically the QHD results with those obtained with a TD-DFT code.

In particular we consider a specific model and present black hole solutions, breaking half of N=2 supersymmetry, in two regions of the extended Kahler cone, which are connected by a flop transition. The conditions necessary to match both solutions at the flop transition are analysed. Finally we also discuss the conditions to obtain massless black holes at the flop transition.

Furthermore, the colour index of the continuum underlying [O II]λ3727 Åand Hβprovides an additional separation parameter between the two types of emission-line galaxies. We have applied the equivalent widths method to the 0 < z \leq 0.3 emission-line galaxies of the Canada-France Redshift Survey. Our results are in very good agreement with those obtained using the standard diagnostic diagrams including all the strong optical emission-line intensity ratios.

description: Magnetic quantum oscillations (MQO) of Hall coefficient are measured in rare-earth tritelluride TmTe$_{3}$ and shown to be much stronger and persist to higher temperature than the Shubnikov oscillations. It is general for MQO in strongly anisotropic metals, and the combined measurements of Hall and diagonal magnetoresistance provide useful informations about the electronic structure. The ratio of their MQO amplitudes depends linearly on magnetic field, and its slope gives a simple and accurate measurement tool of the electron mean free time and its temperature dependence.

description: A polarized variety is K-stable if, for any test configuration, the Donaldson-Futaki invariant is positive. In this paper, inspired by classical geometric invariant theory, we describe the space of test configurations as a limit of a direct system of Tits buildings. We show that the Donaldson-Futaki invariant, conveniently normalized, is a continuous function on this space. We also introduce a pseudo-metric on the space of test configurations. Recall that K-stability can be enhanced by requiring that the Donaldson-Futaki invariant is positive on any admissible filtration of the co-ordinate ring. We show that admissible filtrations give rise to Cauchy sequences of test configurations with respect to the above mentioned pseudo-metric.

description: An alternative quantization rule, in which time becomes a self-adjoint operator and position is a parameter, was proposed by Dias and Parisio [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 95}, 032133 (2017)]. In this approach, the authors derive a space-time-symmetric (STS) extension of quantum mechanics (QM) where a new quantum state (intrinsic to the particle), $|ϕ(x)\rangle$, is defined at each point in space. $|ϕ(x)\rangle$ obeys a space-conditional (SC) Schrödinger equation and its projection on $|t\rangle$, $\langle t|ϕ(x)\rangle$, represents the probability amplitude of the particle's arrival time at $x$. In this work, first we provide an interpretation of the SC Schrödinger equation and the eigenstates of observables in the STS extension. Analogous to the usual QM, we propose that by knowing the "initial" state $|ϕ(x_0)\rangle$ -- which predicts any measurement on the particle performed by a detector localized at $x_0$ -- the SC Schrödinger equation provides $|ϕ(x)\rangle={\hat U}(x,x_0)|ϕ(x_0)\rangle$, enabling us to predict measurements when the detector is at $x \lessgtr x_0$. We also verify that for space-dependent potentials, momentum eigenstates in the STS extension, $|P_b(x)\rangle$, depend on position just as energy eigenstates in the usual QM depend on time for time-dependent potentials. In this context, whereas a particle in the momentum eigenstate in the standard QM, $|ψ(t)\rangle=|P\rangle|_t$, at time $t$, has momentum $P$ (and indefinite position), the same particle in the state $|ϕ(x)\rangle=|P_b(x)\rangle$ arrives at position $x$ with momentum $P_b(x)$ (and indefinite arrival time). By investigating the fact that $|ψ(t)\rangle$ and $|ϕ(x)\rangle$ describe experimental data of the same observables collected at $t$ and $x$, respectively, we conclude that they provide complementary information about the same particle...

description: The paper describes major issues of the geoecological mapping which has a multidimensional aspect and includes a large number of both natural and anthropogenic factors in its field of research. Multi-source data and factors should be taken into account when creating complex maps of the vulnerability assessing applied for the regional environmental situation of Arctic Seas. The main difficulties of geoecological mapping are intensified concern distinguish between the terrestrical and marine ecosystems. The latter are complex in their structure multicomponent systems. Therefore, analysis of the ecological situation of water areas requires complex assessment of all its components, the “contributions” to their overall state and 'weights' of major sources of contamination.
Why Not a Philosopher King? and Other Objections to Epistocracy
Creators: name: Kuljanin, Dragan
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2019

description: In this paper I will examine epistocracy as a form of limiting the political agency of some citizens (by removing their political rights) and offer an internal critique of it. I will argue that epistocracy runs into a number of logical and epistemic problems in trying to define who should be the members of an epistocratic polity. Furthermore, I will argue that the argument for epistocracy cannot ignore unjust background conditions. I will also suggest that some of the problems epistocracy attempts to correct can be solved in a more just way, while preserving democracy.

description: We present an optimized and physically motivated method for separating top quark signal events from background events at the Tevatron. For the top quark signal $t\bar t \to e/μ+ 4$ jets, we show how to reject all but $25\%$ of the background in a data sample while retaining $80\%$ of the signal, without introducing bias into the subsequent mass measurement. The technique used is the Binary Decision Tree. Combining this highly efficient procedure for signal identification with a novel algorithm for top quark reconstruction, we propose a powerful new way to measure the top quark mass.

description: Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) offer an event-driven and more biologically realistic alternative to standard Artificial Neural Networks based on analog information processing. This can potentially enable energy-efficient hardware implementations of neuromorphic systems which emulate the functional units of the brain, namely, neurons and synapses. Recent demonstrations of ultra-fast photonic computing devices based on phase-change materials (PCMs) show promise of addressing limitations of electrically driven neuromorphic systems. However, scaling these standalone computing devices to a parallel in-memory computing primitive is a challenge. In this work, we utilize the optical properties of the PCM, Ge\textsubscript{2}Sb\textsubscript{2}Te\textsubscript{5} (GST), to propose a Photonic Spiking Neural Network computing primitive, comprising of a non-volatile synaptic array integrated seamlessly with previously explored `integrate-and-fire' neurons. The proposed design realizes an `in-memory' computing platform that leverages the inherent parallelism of wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM). We show that the proposed computing platform can be used to emulate a SNN inferencing engine for image classification tasks. The proposed design not only bridges the gap between isolated computing devices and parallel large-scale implementation, but also paves the way for ultra-fast computing and localized on-chip learning.

The Social Bases of Self-Respect. Political Equality and Epistemic Injustice
Creators: name: Liveriero, Federica
Publisher: name: Phenomenology and Mind
Year: 2019

description: This paper investigates the limitations of the ideal of political equality under non-ideal circumstances and focuses specifically on the way in which structurally unjust social contexts endanger individuals’ perception of their own worth. Starting from Rawls’ definition of the social bases of self-respect as a primary good to be fairly distributed, the paper main goal is to provide normative arguments in favor of a power sensitive theory of political agency. A power sensitive theory, in fact, proves to be necessary as it sheds a light over the way in which power relationships affect the very possibility, for some members of the constituency, of fully enjoying the status of political reflexive agents. Against this background, in the paper I defend two main theses. First, I argue that the contemporary debate concerning the implementation of the ideal of equality within liberal democracies has been overlooking the epistemic dimension of the basis of political equality. Second, I claim that specifying the epistemic dimension of political equality has at least two important effects. a. It is important from the perspective of conceptual analysis, as it allows to properly distinguish between the normative job played by moral arguments on the one hand, and the epistemic aspects of political equality on the other hand. b. The specification of the epistemic aspects of political equality has at least on important normative upshot, namely the possibility to show that epistemic forms of injustice are detrimental to the very ideal of political equality as an essential feature of liberal conceptions of democracy.
