Place-Based Policies

description: How does the presence of a university affect local economic mobility and inequality? Existing work on universities' role in economic mobility have focused on students but have not examined the effect on local communities. We exploit historical natural experiments to answer these questions, using "runner-up" counties that were strongly considered to become university sites but were not selected for as-good-as-random reasons as counterfactuals for university counties. We find that university establishment causes greater intergenerational income mobility but also increases cross-sectional income inequality. We highlight four channels through which these effects operate: universities "hollow-out" the local labor market and provide greater opportunities to achieve top incomes, both of which increase cross-sectional inequality, while at the same time increasing educational attainment across the income distribution and fostering social interactions to high-socioeconomic status individuals, which both prevent inequality from perpetuating into intergenerational immobility.

Leveraging Energy Access Explorer to achieve universal access to electricity in Kenya by 2030.
Creators: name: Kimwa, Mercy
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This study employs Energy Access Explorer (EAE) to analyze Kenya's pathway to universal electricity access by 2030. The geospatial analysis reveals grid expansion remains optimal for serving 82% of the population in high-density urban and peri-urban areas, while off-grid renewable solutions (solar, wind and hydro hybrids) prove most effective for 17% of Kenyans (9.8 million) in remote regions with low population density (<50 persons/km²). Key findings identify northern Kenya (Turkana, Marsabit) as prime territory for off-grid solar and wind solutions due to abundant renewable resources, while western regions show strong potential for micro-hydro systems. The study recommends prioritizing mini-grid deployment in renewable-rich zones, strengthening policy coordination between national and county governments, and enhancing data integration to improve planning accuracy. While the analysis provides robust spatial prioritization, future research should incorporate temporal phasing to track progress toward 2030 targets and address seasonal variability in renewable resources. These evidence-based insights will support Kenya's Ministry of Energy in achieving equitable, sustainable electrification across all regions.

Do Local Conditions Determine the Direction of Science? Evidence from Land Grant Colleges

Direction of Science

description: How should research resources be allocated across space to have the most beneficial impact on society? Prior studies suggest that scientists are influenced by the local ideas they are exposed to, and hence local conditions shape the direction of science. We investigate this hypothesis in the context of agricultural research, constructing a measure that quantifies the extent to which land grant colleges are located in counties that grow different distributions of crops than the rest of their states, which we call agricultural unrepresentativeness. Consistent with the prior literature, land grant colleges in more agriculturally unrepresentative counties produce research focusing on unrepresentative crops and create more geographically limited productivity spillovers. Because college locations are not determined randomly, these results may reflect endogenous sorting by state policymakers rather than causal effects of local agricultural conditions. We isolate exogenous variation in land grant college’s agricultural unrepresentativeness using historical college site selection natural experiments. When using only this exogenous variation, we find no correlation between land grant counties’ unrepresentativeness and the unrepresentativeness of agricultural research. To understand this null result, we investigate actions land grant colleges can take to overcome the effects of local agricultural conditions and find that colleges exogenously placed in agriculturally unrepresentative counties invest more in extension services to interact with more distant constituents. We conclude that local agricultural conditions need not determine the direction of science so long as researchers can take actions to obtain non-local information.
In the Interest of Full Disclosure: Consequences of the Grand Bargain in Patenting

Disclosure

description: We consider a model where an innovator chooses how much to disclose about their invention before Cournot competing. More disclosure lets the follower copy more, but also signals strength and increases the innovator's probability of winning an infringement suit. We find policies that increase damages due to copying lead to universally more disclosure, while policies that increase winning probabilities induce less disclosure from large inventions and more from small inventions. We validate our predictions using two court decisions; one increased damages, the other winning probabilities. We conclude that some pro-patent policies are counterproductive, reducing disclosure for the largest inventions.

description: During the 19th century Helmuth Plessner, one of the most eminent philosophers in anthropology, gave rise to a theoretical view that crosses the dualism between body and soul in human nature and promotes the study of real human experience as a whole. His aestesiological research aims to point out the concrete value of sensibility in its interwining with thought. All human consciousness depends on a singular relation between man and his own body (his “eccentricity”), and “incorporation” from senses is one of its leading concrete effects.

description: In a recent article published in the journal Ecology, our research team reported that neighborhoods in Baltimore that were redlined have consistently lower street tree diversity and are nine times less likely to have large (old) trees occupying a viable planting site. What does this mean for those who live in these neighborhoods, and what steps might cities like Baltimore take to mitigate this structural challenge in their urban forests? For biodiversity experts, street trees provide a unique study population because trees can live for many decades, and patterns of street tree size, distribution, and diversity reflect both present-day and historical public policy and management decisions
Does Human Capital Have An Impact On Employment In Turkey? An ARDL Analytical Perspective

description: Human capital plays a key role in most production functions of economies. In the Solow growth model, labor is more efficient and effective per capital when the human capital is well developed. Most research on human capital and employment is centered around microeconomic principles. Thus, focusing on firms, and the role highly skilled labor play in self-employment, return on sales and investment, business growth, and employment opportunities. This study puts an emphasis on the macroeconomics aspects of human capital and employment. Accordingly, this study seeks to answer the question “Does Human Capital have an impact on Employment in Turkey”. Employing data from 1990 – 2019, Human capital (proxied by means, years of schooling, life expectancy at birth, and labor force participation rate) has a long run relationship with employment according to the Bound test we conducted. This suggests that the short run relationship conducted is spurious. More so, health and educational expenditures, and inflation were employed as a policy control variable within the model. We found out that while life expectancy at birth and labor forces participation had positive coefficient with employment, mean years of schooling had a negative impact on employment. As a matter of policy recommendation, a more aggressive policy geared towards job creation, monitoring labor market volatilities, ensuring that labor laws are followed to the latter, stabilizing inflation, and attracting more private sector business expansion is critical in having a sustainable employment opportunities and reduction in unemployment.

description: Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are thought to be located at the centers of most galactic nuclei. When galaxies merge they form supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) systems and these central SMBHs will also merge at later times, producing gravitational waves (GWs). Because galaxy mergers are likely gas-rich environments, SMBHBs are also potential sources of electromagnetic (EM) radiation. The EM signatures depend on gas dynamics, orbital dynamics, and radiation processes. The gas dynamics are governed by general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in a time-dependent spacetime. Numerically solving the MHD equations for a time-dependent binary spacetime is computationally expensive. Therefore, it is challenging to conduct a full exploration of the parameter space of these systems and the resulting EM signatures. We have developed an analytical accretion disk model for the mini-disks of an SMBHB system and produced images and light curves using a general relativistic ray-tracing code and a superimposed harmonic binary black hole metric. This analytical model greatly reduces the time and computational resources needed to explore these systems, while incorporating some key information from simulations. We present a parameter space exploration of the SMBHB system in which we have studied the dependence of the EM signatures on the spins of the black holes (BHs), the mass ratio, the accretion rate, the viewing angle, and the initial binary separation. Additionally, we study how the commonly used fast-light approximation affects the EM signatures and evaluate its validity in GRMHD simulations.

description: The interaction view and the theory of conceptual metaphor have offered a decisive contribution to the development of an interdisciplinary field of study that is now unanimous in attributing to the metaphor a cognitive force. The paper, however, shows that there are considerable differences between these approaches: from Richards to Black, from Black to Lakoff & Johnson, the focus of the investigation shifts, and change both the paradigms of reference as the ways of understanding the relationships between thought and language, between heuristic and creative value of metaphorical processes.

description: Over the last two centuries, the industrial revolution, the rise of the consumers’ society, the globalization, the connected world, the internet of things have given rise to a progressive, fast creation, processing and dissemination of a new culture of objects, consequently and because of the artificial state of the habitat, the reduction of production and purchase costs, the increase in the cultural content, significance and meaning of the artifacts. The discipline that is responsible for studying, interpreting and defining the new nature of everyday objects is the one that is internationally defined today as Design. The Design gives to objects an aesthetics consciously directed to a goal, and anticipates possible needs, desires, behaviours, by interpreting visions, cultures, languages, in an expression that is synchronic, synesthetic, immediate, interactive. This essay considers the role that played by Aesthetics in the humanization of contemporary objects; the ways in which traditional and today's objects communicate; how the morphogenesis of objects has changed according to technical evolution, and what it can be today, when an object can have the ability of interpreting the aesthetics of other objects.

description: Concerning the chance of a deeper understanding of design and its procedures two alternatives are provided in literature: the one dealing with its hypothetical metastructures the other with the theories already operating in the field of design research. I contributed in some quite recent articles to the first direction discussing architectural design issues in relation to biology and, even, theology. In my present contribution I will challenge the second option, discussing briefly one of the best design theories: Donald Norman’s theory of interaction design. More specifically, I will try to emphasize its ecosystemic  dimension connecting him to the actor network theory of Bruno Latour, the narrative semiotics of Algirdas Greimas and the so called artistic research, suggesting that the resulting design research models also provide a very effective support to ethical problems in design.

description: If we – as architects, interior decorators or designers – approach the concept of the narrative we are immediately met with the limits of our professions. The concept of narrative, originally belonging to the theory of language and narrative, has already been integrated with success in many areas of the daily practices of  cultural production and its related theories. In this paper we want to prcoeed to a recovery of that concept, showing how the narrative treatment of spatial and cultural meanings plays an essential role in design intended as a performative process. Thanks to the narrative, in fact, the spaces designed by man can act as containers of its existence and manage materials, light, spatial relationships, also implementing actions and social relations.

description: The widespread prevalence of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth or its low-power version, Bluetooth low energy (BLE), in modern society has significantly increased their use for setting up wireless connectivity in various Internet-of Things (IoT)-based applications, such as patient monitoring, indoor localization and environment monitoring. The growing demand for integrating efficient power management solutions into these IoT applications has motivated us to focus on the measurement and analysis of power consumption during wireless scan activities using Wi-Fi and BLE since these are crucial for the connection establishment. Although a few research exists on the measurement and analysis of power consumed by wireless technologies like Wi-Fi, BLE and Zigbee in the literature, none have paid attention to the accurate measurement and analysis of real-time power consumption during wireless scan operations at the application level._x000D__x000D_ To address this gap, we have designed a novel mobile application for the accurate measurement of real-time power consumption during wireless scan operations in order to assess the energy efficiency of various IoT applications involving those wireless technologies. Extensive experimentation was carried out in this study to measure real-time power consumption during Wi-Fi and BLE scans as well as operations without any scans (i.e., no scan) at varying durations and distances of the measuring device from the beacon. Additionally, a comparative statistical analysis of the collected power measurements under three different cases (Wi-Fi scan, BLE scan and no scan) using mean, median and standard deviation was performed to demonstrate the real-time power consumption usage patterns of these operations. This is followed by an insightful discussion on the influence of duration and distance on such power consumption patterns. Furthermore, several avenues for future research based on the findings of this study are also presented here.

description: As cities strive for more sustainable and efficient urban mobility, micromobility vehicles offer a promising solution to complement public transportation networks. However, existing rental e-scooter systems face challenges such as inefficient redistribution and charging logistics. To address these issues, a partially autonomous micromobility vehicle concept is proposed, where autonomy is limited to redistribution and self-charging operations. For autonomous functionality, a stable three-wheeled design is adopted to enhance balance and control. To further advance the automation of the design process, this study presents a workflow that integrates collision load analysis with topology optimization. This approach enables the automated generation and structural optimization of vehicle components derived directly from the kinematic model, ensuring lightweight, high-performance designs tailored to real-world load conditions.

description: The impact of interplanetary (IP) shocks on the Earth’s magnetosphere can greatly disturb the geomagnetic field and electric currents in the magnetosphere-ionosphere system. At high latitudes, the current systems most affected by the shocks are the auroral electrojet currents. These currents then generate ground geomagnetically induced currents that couple with and are highly detrimental to ground artificial conductors including power transmission lines, oil/gas pipelines, railways, and submarine cables. Recent research has shown that the shock impact angle, the angle the shock normal vector performs with the Sun-Earth line, plays a major role in controlling the subsequent geomagnetic activity. More specifically, due to more symmetric magnetospheric compressions, nearly frontal shocks are usually more geoeffective than highly inclined shocks. In this study, we utilize a subset (332 events) of a shock list with more than 600 events to investigate, for the first time, shock impact angle effects on the subsequent GICs right after shock impact (compression effects) and several minutes after shock impact (substorm-like effects). We use GIC recordings from the Finnish natural gas pipeline performed near the Mäntsälä compression station in southern Finland. We find that GIC peaks (> 5 A) occurring after shock impacts are mostly caused by nearly frontal shocks and occur in the post-noon/dusk magnetic local time sector. These GIC peaks are presumably triggered by partial ring current intensifications in the dusk sector. On the other hand, more intense GIC peaks (> 20 A) generally occur several minutes after shock impacts and are located around the magnetic midnight terminator. These GIC peaks are most likely caused by intense energetic particle injections from the magnetotail which frequently occur during substorms. The results of this work are relevant to studies aiming at predicting GICs following solar wind driving under different levels of asymmetric solar wind forcing.

description: This paper explores the effectiveness of using ordinal pattern probabilities to evaluate antipersistency in the sign decomposition of long-range anti-correlated Gaussian fluctuations. It is numerically shown that ordinal patterns are able to effectively measure both persistent and antipersistent dynamics by analyzing the sign decomposition derived from fractional Gaussian noise. These findings are crucial given that traditional methods such as Detrended Fluctuation Analysis are unsuccessful in detecting anti-correlations in such sequences. The numerical results are supported by physiological and environmental data, illustrating its applicability in real-world situations.

LA DWELLING PERSPECTIVE COME CRITICA DELL’ARCHITETTURA MODERNA NEL PENSIERO DI TIM INGOLD

Subjects: Aesthetics, Architecture, Anthropology, Dwelling Perspective, Tim Infold

description: This essay focuses on Tim Ingold’s philosophy of architecture, with particular reference to ideas such as “flexibility”, “complexity” and “ecology”, which are crucial to understanding the «dwelling perspective» developed by the author. The dwelling perspective is the attempt to reconsider architectural practices from the inhabitant’s “experiential” point of view, beyond the purely architectural interest in forms and aesthetics. This perspective is based on a phenomenological and pragmatical approach to arts and human practices which is meant to achieve the viewpoint of the everyday life’s «ordinary hero» (de Certeau): the common man. This is an alternative vision to modern architecture’s “top down” model. In the present contribution I also maintain the affinity of Ingold’s thought with the classical philosophical anthropology in order to better contextualize his perspective on human nature from which derives also his dwelling perspective.

description: This article aims to contribute to the recent debate about interaction design criticism, starting from current theoretical models and approaches which have been scarcely considered by the Human-Computer Interaction communities. Without discarding the user-centered approach, aesthetic and ecological models coming from contemporary philosophy, sociology, art criticism and media studies need to be employed to expand the view upon the theoretical models for representing and designing interactions and interfaces. The focus is thus in the aesthetic experience of everyday computational artifacts, while interactive art is taken as an experimental playground to test and research in a specific and isolated (non-ecological) context.

description: Target detection is a fundamental task of hyperspectral imaging where constrained energy minimization (CEM) has been widely used for subpixel target detection technique. Due to its effectiveness, CEM has been generalized to various versions, such as kernel CEM (KCEM), kernel target constrained interference-minimized filter (KTCIMF), ensemble cascaded CEM (ECEM), hierarchical CEM (HCEM). Unfortunately, these generalizations overlooked the key design rationale behind CEM. This paper revisits CEM for hyperspectral target detection (HTD) and proves how and why it works mathematically. Specifically, several new CEM generalizations are derived and particularly noteworthy. By including spatial information in an iterative process, KCEM, ECEM, HCEM can be generalized to iterative KCEM (IKCEM), iterative KTCIMF (IKTCIMF), iterative ECEM (IECEM), iterative HCEM (IHCEM). Also, by utilizing an iterative random training sampling (IRTS) to generate the desired target signature to be detected, these algorithms are further generalized to iterative random training sampling KCEM (IRTS-KCEM), iterative random training sampling ECEM (IRTS-ECEM), iterative random training sampling HCEM (IRTS-HCEM). A comprehensive analysis along with comparative study on these generalizations is conducted through extensive experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of IKCEM, IHCEM and IECEM.

description: This essay intends to open a discussion on the design of a school, operating on the borderline between pedagogy and architecture, teaching and design, interfacing with related fields such as philosophy, anthropology, aesthetics, psychology. Faced with a reality in which the schools are struggling to give themselves a profile and justify continued consistently educational actions and values pursued by the teaching staff, the dialogue between these disciplines can contribute to answer the common question: which school can be designed, how and why? The reasoning leads to investigate the material concrete and physical dimension of school space, in the light of the different perspectives that together weave a network of references still too little explored.

description: Equivalence-based instruction (EBI) and transfer of function are effective with neurotypical adults and children; however, only one study to date evaluated their effectiveness with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We used EBI to teach three preschool children with ASD to form three age-appropriate classes (categories) consisting of three stimuli each. We directly taught two relations between stimuli in each class (e.g., firefighter-doctor; doctor-teacher), and the remaining relations between the stimuli (e.g., doctor-firefighter, teacher-doctor, doctor-teacher, teacher-doctor) emerged. Then, we taught participants to respond as listeners when asked about the function of a stimulus in each category (e.g., point to a state when asked, “Point to a place where people live”). As a result, the respective function transferred among the other stimuli in each category. This study supports the effectiveness of EBI and transfer of function with children with ASD learning age-appropriate skills in an applied setting.

description: This paper analyzes the contemporary philosophical and political debate concerning the difficulties raised by intercultural processes and liberal institutions, showing how today’s liberal system crisis of legitimacy is rooted in the philosophical grounds of occidental cultural identity. Two authors are mainly considered: Charles Taylor and Jürgen Habermas. They both refuse the postmodern theory of the exhaustion of practical reason’s normativity and found the possibility of a reason’s virtuous development on the explanation of its genealogical link with the history of occidental identity.

RÉFLEXIONS SUR LA PRÉSOMPTION D'INNOCENCE EN DROIT MAROCAIN
Creators: name: ABOU EL JAOUAD Anouar
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: La présomption d'innocence est un principe auquel adhère la loi marocaine. Il s’agit d’un principe selon lequel toute personne qui se voit reprocher une infraction est réputée innocente tant que sa culpabilité n’a pas été légalement démontrée. La présomption d'innocence implique le droit de ne pas être présenté comme coupable avant toute condamnation.

 Toutefois, le principe en question se trouve mis à mal par des dispositions légales accordant une force probante à des procès-verbaux de la police judiciaire ainsi que par les atteintes audit principe de la part de certains médias.

description: Soft gamma-ray emission (100 keV -- 10 MeV) has previously been detected in the hard state of several microquasars. In some sources, this emission was found to be highly polarized and was suggested to be emitted at the base of the jet. Until now, no $\gamma$-ray polarization had been found in any other state. Using INTEGRAL/IBIS, we studied the soft gamma-ray spectral and polarization properties of Swift J1727.8-1613 throughout its outburst. We detect a highly polarized spectral component in both the hard intermediate state and the early stages of the soft intermediate state above 210 keV. In the hard intermediate state, the polarization angle significantly deviates from the compact jet angle projected onto the sky, whereas in the soft intermediate they are closely aligned. This constitutes the first detection of jet-aligned polarization in the soft gamma-ray for a microquasar. We attribute this polarized spectral component to synchrotron emission from the jet, which indicates that some of the jet might persist into the softer states.

description: For faculty members, job satisfaction, compensation, and career advancement hinge on achieving ‘critical’ career milestones (e.g., external funding, tenure). Faculty face unique barriers to achieving career milestones (), and therefore must employ tailored strategies to overcome challenges. The current project extends research on barriers to career milestones () to examine strategies faculty employ to overcome barriers in the pursuit of critical career milestones. Thirty-seven faculty members participated across eight US academic institutions, including 22 under-represented minorities in science (URM-S; women or racial/ ethnic minorities). Respondents identified critical career milestones they achieved or will pursue within the next 24 months and then discussed strategies used and suggestions for achieving milestones during semi-structured qualitative interviews. The research team conducted a thematic, qualitative, descriptive analysis of qualitative data using NVivo software in a systematic, interactive, team-based process. Four key strategies emerged for navigating barriers in the pursuit of critical career milestones: 1) Careful engagement of mentors and allies; 2) Collaborate and network; 3) Set boundaries and prioritize; and 4) Reflect on values and use personal strengths. Administrators should aim to remove structural barriers, particularly those that reduce equity (). Identifying strategies that faculty employ to overcome challenges can enhance mentoring by helping mentors understand how mentees overcome unique challenges, particularly those that are not easily addressed through structural interventions.

description: Supplementary materials for the project: "Towards a publishing strategy: Research dissemination practices of doctoral students at a Polish university"

This set includes:

-        The questionnaire in Polish and its English translation

-        The interview protocol in Polish and its English translation

-        Cited interview excerpts in Polish.

About the project: Set at the Doctoral School of the University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland, this project explores the factors influencing the early stages of publishing strategy formation among junior scholars by considering the roles of peripheral participation, institutional policies, and training. It addresses the following questions: What are the research dissemination practices of Polish young academics? What motivates their choice of publication venues? Who and what supports them in these decisions? Data collection methods included document analysis of University publication reports (2020–2024), a survey, and semi-structured interviews with doctoral students.

About the questionnaire: Created in Google Forms and distributed via email in May 2024, the questionnaire was designed to collect information on research publications, motivations for choosing publication venues, conference participation, advice from others, and factors perceived as helping or hindering academic development. It was sent to current doctoral students and recent graduates of the Doctoral School at the University of Silesia in Katowice.

About the interviews: Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 doctoral students and recent graduates of the Doctoral School at the University of Silesia in Katowice in May and June 2024. They focused on publication venue selection, co-authorship practices, conference experiences, significant others in academic life, and experienced academic let-downs and achievements. The interviews were conducted in Polish by the author, 12 online and 3 onsite. Each interview lasted, on average, 60 min.
Investigation of the underlying energy-regulating mechanisms of nuts: implications for nutrition labelling and strategies to promote nut consumption

description: Chronic disease is an ongoing source of poor health, and conditions such as cardiovascular disease and overweight and obesity are highly prevalent in Australia. Nuts are a core food associated with a range of health benefits; however, global consumption, including in Australia, is low. Previous research acknowledges consumer concern regarding the potential impact of nut consumption on body weight as a barrier to nut intake. While nuts are an energy-dense food, the evidence suggests that regular consumption is not associated with weight gain. Some proposed energy-regulating mechanisms of nuts include lower metabolisable energy (due to some fats within nuts being encapsulated within thick cell walls and not easily accessed and digested), reduced subsequent energy intake due to post-consumption appetite regulation (energy compensation), and increased energy expenditure. Currently, the energy content on nutrition labels in Australia is estimated based on Atwater factors, which do not account for the lower energy availability, hence may over-represent the available energy from nuts, and potentially deter the inclusion of nuts in habitual diets. Furthermore, energy intakes from nuts may be overestimated among consumers and other stakeholders. The aim of this thesis is, therefore, to synthesise evidence on the energy-regulating mechanisms of tree nuts and peanuts, and to explore the potential influence of these mechanisms on population energy intakes and strategies for labelling and promotion of nut intake. The research hypothesised that the metabolisable energy of nuts will consistently be lower than energy predicted using Atwater factors and that nut consumption will reduce subsequent energy intake and increase energy expenditure. Furthermore, energy intakes estimated using metabolisable energy values of nuts will be lower than the conventional Atwater method in Australian nut consumers, and while knowledge and practices regarding nuts will vary among consumers and other stakeholders, promoting the metabolisable energy of nut products may encourage nut consumption.
