description: We report on the discovery and observations of the extremely luminous optical transient CSS100217:102913+404220 (CSS100217 hereafter). Spectroscopic observations show this transient was coincident with a galaxy at redshift z=0.147, and reached an apparent magnitude of V ~ 16.3. After correcting for foreground Galactic extinction we determine the absolute magnitude to be M_V =-22.7 approximately 45 days after maximum light. Based on our unfiltered optical photometry the peak optical emission was L = 1.3 x 10^45 erg s^-1, and over a period of 287 rest-frame days had an integrated bolometric luminosity of 1.2 x 10^52 erg. Analysis of the pre-outburst SDSS spectrum of the source shows features consistent with a Narrow-line Seyfert1 (NLS1) galaxy. High-resolution HST and Keck followup observations show the event occurred within 150pc of nucleus of the galaxy, suggesting a possible link to the active nuclear region. However, the rapid outburst along with photometric and spectroscopic evolution are much more consistent with a luminous supernova. Line diagnostics suggest that the host galaxy is undergoing significant star formation. We use extensive follow-up of the event along with archival CSS and SDSS data to investigate the three most likely sources of such an event; 1) an extremely luminous supernova; 2) the tidal disruption of a star by the massive nuclear black hole; 3) variability of the central AGN. We find that CSS100217 was likely an extremely luminous type IIn supernova that occurred within range of the narrow-line region of an AGN. We discuss how similar events may have been missed in past supernova surveys because of confusion with AGN activity.

Freedom and Dignity in the UK workplace
Creators: name: Mangan, David
Publisher: name: Italian Labour Law e-Journal
Year: 2020

description: Freedom and dignity, two key aims of the Italian Workers’ Statute of 1970, stand out as two concepts of debate in the UK workplace. Dignity has not been a frequently used term in UK employment law. Freedom has been a challenging concept in this jurisdiction. Freedom of association has been notably curbed in the UK since the 1980s. Even in the 21st century, the means through which trade unions can execute their representative functions have been limited by legislation. Freedom of expression has also been restricted, particularly through the remarkable force of contract clauses and policies that grant employers power to assess the online remarks of their workers. This situation has been lightly treated to date. Finally, there seem to be looming issues of access to justice for workers when one considers government attempts to (arguably) disincentivise recourse to employment tribunals.

Fifty years of the Workers' Statute (1970-2020)
Creators: name: Carinci, Franco
Publisher: name: Italian Labour Law e-Journal
Year: 2020

description: The essay commemorates the fifty years passed since the birth of the Workers’ Statute. The A. recalls its long gestation over the course of almost twenty years, with the maturation of its two souls: the constitutional one (guaranteeing the freedom and dignity rights of workers), and the “promotional” one (promoting trade unions with particular representativeness). He also analyses if and how the spirit of the statute has found place within following legislation. According to the A. Workers’ Statute is still alive, albeit amputated, but with a much narrower scope, due to the reduction of its reference model, that of the Fordist factory. However, it is not yet clear what the next path of labour legislation will be. It still appears to be rather uncertain as regards the constantly expanding “grey area” between employees and self-employed workers. The options are two: extension of the typical protection granted to the employment relationship vs. introduction of a graduated protection regime.

L’emergenza permanente e lo stato di sicurezza nell'era della tecnica
Creators: name: Lo Giudice, Alessio

Year: 2020

description: Sintesi L’articolo propone di inquadrare i provvedimenti di natura giuridica adottati a livello locale dagli Stati nazionali, a fronte delle contemporanee situazioni di emergenza, nel contesto irreversibile, e politicamente non governato, della tecno-economia globale. Un contesto che sancisce l’assenza della categoria della sovranità e che mostra come ciò che stiamo vivendo rappresenti una condizione di emergenza permanente e non uno stato di eccezione. Siamo dinanzi ad uno scenario nel quale le scelte politiche non sono in grado di determinare nuovi ordini volti a normalizzare una situazione anormale (sarebbe questa la situazione tipica dello stato di eccezione). Piuttosto, assistiamo alle reazioni strutturali e impersonali degli ordini dati (o meglio degli ordinamenti) di fronte a minacce permanenti che sono tali proprio perché indissolubilmente intrecciate con l’incessante (permanente) processo di globalizzazione che le alimenta. Reazioni che hanno determinato, nel tempo, una pericolosa tendenza verso una peculiare forma di Stato di sicurezza. Tali meccanismi di reazione ordinamentale vanno compresi nella loro portata concettuale se s’intende provare a governarne, per quanto possibile, il funzionamento, ridimensionando gli effetti violenti che essi producono in relazione alla tutela delle nostre libertà fondamentali. Abstract The article proposes to frame the present legal acts, enacted at a national level in order to face with contemporary emergency situations, within the irreversible and politically ungoverned context of global techno-economy. Such a context determines the absence of the category of sovereignty and shows that our situation has to be read as a condition of permanent emergency and not as a state of exception. Indeed, we are dealing with a scenario where political choices are not able to establish new orders devoted to normalizing an abnormal situation (that would be the typical situation expressed by a state of exception). We are observing structural and impersonal reactions of given political and legal orders against permanent threats strictly linked with the perpetual globalization process. Such reactions established a dangerous tendency towards a peculiar form of State of security. Actually, the general conceptual scope of these mechanisms of reactions implemented by legal orders have to be understood if we aim, a least, at trying to govern their way of functioning in order to reduce the violent effects they produce anyway on the protection of our fundamental freedoms.

The quality of root canal filling in mandibular molars utilizing warm vertical and single cone technique : a three-dimensional micro-computed tomography
Creators: name: Lai, Wendy Wing Man
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The goal of the root canal filling procedure is the total 3-dimensional filling of root canals and accessory canals. With the development of innovative sealers and gutta percha in matching taper and diameter as rotary instruments, the single cone technique is gaining popularity. Objective: To compare the percentage of voids and gaps in the coronal, middle and apical third of mandibular molar root canals obturated with different sealers and techniques using micro-computed tomography. Hypothesis: No differences in the percentage of voids and gaps are found between: 1) the obturation groups; 2) the mesial or distal canals of the mandibular molars; and 3) the root canal thirds. Methods: Thirty extracted two-rooted human mandibular molars were divided into three experimental groups: 1) single cone technique using ThermaSeal Plus sealer; 2) warm vertical technique using ThermaSeal Plus sealer; and 3) single cone technique using BC sealer. All canals were instrumented with Vortex Blue 0.04 files to an apical size of #35 (mesial) and #40 (distal). The teeth were mounted on a custom attachment for post-instrumentation and post-obturation micro-CT scan. The scans were examined for the relative proportions of voids and gaps in the coronal, middle and apical third of mandibular molar root canals. Data were analyzed with mixed effects models and Wald chi-square test. Results: A statistically higher percentage of gaps was found in the apical third compared to the coronal third and the middle third of the canal (p <0.05). No significant differences in voids were found in the root canal thirds. No significant differences in voids and gaps were found between the three obturation groups or between the mesial and distal canals (p > 0.05). None of the methods were able to produce a void-free root filling and voids occurred in both mesial and distal canals with no predilection for any part of the canals. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it appears that the single cone technique utilizing gutta percha in matching taper and size as rotary instruments is a suitable alternative for obturation of mandibular molars as compared to the warm vertical technique.

Disturbing the Metaphor

description: In this article, I want to discuss the way metaphors take form as diegetic actions in Elfriede Jelinek’s The Piano Teacher (1983) and Günter Grass’s Too Far Afield (1995). In these texts, the reader must literally picture what metaphorical language usually only conceptually refers to. Both authors confront their readers with disturbing actions that are felt to be significant in some way; they resist straightforward interpretation and rather provoke affective reactions. This deliberate disturbance of metaphorical language can be understood as medial presence effects. They foreground the mediality and materiality of language and literature. The way literature performs and functions as a medium is made visible and perceptible.

Are the photospheric sunspots magnetically force-free in nature?
Creators: name: Tiwari, Sanjiv Kumar
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In a force-free magnetic field, there is no interaction of field and the plasma in the surrounding atmosphere i.e., electric currents are aligned with the magnetic field, giving rise to zero Lorentz force. The computation of many magnetic parameters like magnetic energy, gradient of twist of sunspot magnetic fields (computed from the force-free parameter $α$), including any kind of extrapolations heavily hinge on the force-free approximation of the photospheric magnetic fields. The force-free magnetic behaviour of the photospheric sunspot fields has been examined by \cite{metc95} and \cite{moon02} ending with inconsistent results. \cite{metc95} concluded that the photospheric magnetic fields are far from the force-free nature whereas \cite{moon02} found the that the photospheric magnetic fields are not so far from the force-free nature as conventionally regarded. The accurate photospheric vector field measurements with high resolution are needed to examine the force-free nature of sunspots. We use high resolution vector magnetograms obtained from the Solar Optical Telescope/Spectro-Polarimeter (SOT/SP) aboard Hinode to inspect the force-free behaviour of the photospheric sunspot magnetic fields. Both the necessary and sufficient conditions for force-freeness are examined by checking global as well as as local nature of sunspot magnetic fields. We find that the sunspot magnetic fields are very close to the force-free approximation, although they are not completely force-free on the photosphere.

‘Time Is Running Out’. The Yodel Order and Its Implications for Platform Work in the EU
Creators: name: Aloisi, Antonio
Publisher: name: Italian Labour Law e-Journal
Year: 2020

description: This commentary examines case C-692/19, an order in response to a request for a preliminary ruling regarding the scope of application of working time protection, handed down by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in April 2020. A courier working for a shipping company filed a claim before a UK employment tribunal demanding reclassification as a ‘worker’ with access to the national legislation implementing Directive 2003/88/EC on working time. The tribunal decided to refer the question to the CJEU. At first glance, some elements of the order may give us the impression that EU working time protection does not cover workers who may find themselves in a situation of (bogus) self-employment, including those in the platform economy. However, this is not the case. The order is based on a specific set of facts that are in line with the CJEU’s established jurisprudential practices on the concept of worker, according to which workers formally classified as self-employed under the contract or the national law are excluded from the scope of the Working Time Directive only if they enjoy genuine, not nominal organisational autonomy. This analysis is organised as follows. After some introductory remarks, part 2 summarises the arguments of the remitting court and reviews the business model of the delivery company. Part 3 critically discusses some passages of the order. It also examines the notion of ‘worker’ as shaped by the CJEU, highlights strengths and shortcomings of this interpretive attitude, and summarises the proposals to overcome the weaknesses of an under-inclusive and potentially ineffective application of EU law. After appraising the widespread practices in the platform economy and the most recent regulatory developments, part 4 demystifies the issue of organisational flexibility, which is often understood in a unidirectional way, to the advantage of business. This analysis concludes by advocating for a purposive adaption of existing legal categories, beyond the formalistic approach adopted by the referring court in this case.

Whistleblowing and labour law: The Whistleblower Directive - development, content and obstacles
Creators: name: Kain, Felicia
Publisher: name: Italian Labour Law e-Journal
Year: 2020

description: While some people consider whistleblowers to be selfless heroes, others tend to see them as snitches and denunciators. One way or another, whistleblowing is a prominent term, whose meaning everyone seems to know, whilst simultaneously remaining significantly vague. With the entry into force of the Whistleblower Directive on 17th December 2019, the subject of whistleblowing is gaining further scientific as well as media attention. This legal act will certainly have, inter alia, an influence on the future design of industrial relations since whistleblowing is closely intervened with the work environment. Without going into the concrete implementation possibilities of the respective Member States, this article is dedicated to highlighting issues of particular relevance to labour law. Before dealing with these specific aspects, there will be a broad analysis of the thematic area of whistleblowing in terms of the understanding of the concept, the interests at stake and the background of the new Directive.

description: We present a ~6.5'x8' Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA) mosaic observations of the NH3 (1,1) emission in the Barnard 5 region in Perseus, with an angular resolution of 6". This map covers the coherent region, where the dense gas presents subsonic non-thermal motions (as seen from single dish observations with the Green Bank Telescope, GBT). The combined EVLA and GBT observations reveal, for the first time, a striking filamentary structure (20" wide or 5,000 AU at the distance of Perseus) in this low-mass star forming region. The integrated intensity profile of this structure is consistent with models of an isothermal filament in hydrostatic equilibrium. The observed separation between the B5-IRS1 young stellar object (YSO), in the central region of the core, and the northern starless condensation matches the Jeans length of the dense gas. This suggests that the dense gas in the coherent region is fragmenting. The region observed displays a narrow velocity dispersion, where most of the gas shows evidence for subsonic turbulence, and where little spatial variations are present. It is only close to the YSO where an increase in the velocity dispersion is found, but still displaying subsonic non-thermal motions

Evaluation of the demeaning face of COVID-19 on labour relations: a new challenge for Kenya’s burgeoning democracy
Creators: name: Junior, Ratemo Tom
Publisher: name: Italian Labour Law e-Journal
Year: 2020

description: On March 11th 2020, the World Health Organization was forced to declare the novel coronavirus disease a global pandemic after a surge in reported cases of the disease outside China. The disease has adversely affected, inter alia, the economy and healthcare system in several countries including Kenya. To eradicate the pandemic, the Kenyan Government introduced numerous measures designed to control the infection rate which, inter alia, included closing of non-essential businesses and learning centers, restriction of people movements between 7.00pm and 5.00am and implementation of social distancing rules. These measures have compelled several public and private business entities to either shut or scale down their level of operations in order to remain afloat amid the pandemic. The existing Kenyan labour laws neither incorporate provisions on crisis response nor address the issue of employee safety while working from home. This article therefore seeks to delineate the legal implications of the disease on labour relations in Kenya. Besides, it evaluates effectiveness of the existing labour laws in safeguarding employers and employees’ rights to i.e., health, safety, leave and termination amid the pandemic. It will finally propose measures to be undertaken to fix the loopholes in such laws, if any

LRRK2 and the p.G2019S mutation in neuronal and systemic response to induced α-synuclein pathobiology
Creators: name: MacIsaac, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder for which no disease-modifying treatments are currently available. PD is neuropathologically characterized by selective degeneration of nigral dopaminergic neurons and the presence of intraneuronal inclusions comprised primarily of α-synuclein (α-syn) in remaining cells. Mutations in several genes have been linked to PD, including those encoding α-syn and leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2). α-Syn pathology is present in the majority of patients with LRRK2 mutations, and a synergistic pathology has been proposed. A model of α-synucleinopathy was recently developed in which pathogenic α-syn pre-formed fibrils (PFFs) are used to seed aggregation of endogenous α-syn. To probe the role of LRRK2 and the influence of the p.G2019S mutation in induced α-syn pathology, differences in the response of wild-type (WT), LRRK2 knock-out (KO), and p.G2019S LRRK2 knock-in (KI) primary neuronal cultures to PFF treatment were examined. Further, behavioural consequences of intrastriatal PFF injection in WT and p.G2019S LRRK2 KI mice were compared. LRRK2 KO cultures appeared to be protected from PFF treatment, possibly due to a reduction in PFF uptake, more efficient degradation of pathogenic α-syn in neurites, and/or less neuron-to-neuron spread of pathogenic α-syn. Alternatively, p.G2019S LRRK2 KI cultures appeared to be more susceptible to PFF treatment, perhaps due to impaired handling of pathogenic α-syn by after fibril uptake. Behaviourally, WT and p.G2019S LRRK2 KI mice appear similarly vulnerable to motor deficits, but p.G2019S LRRK2 KI mice may be more susceptible to PFF-induced anxiety and cognitive deficits. Overall, this research points towards multiple roles for LRRK2 in α-syn pathogenic processes that may be altered by the p.G2019S mutation.

description: We report monitoring observations of the T Tauri star EX Lupi during its outburst in 2008 in the CO fundamental band at 4.6-5.0 um. The observations were carried out at the VLT and the Subaru Telescope at six epochs from April to August 2008, covering the plateau of the outburst and the fading phase to a quiescent state. The line flux of CO emission declines with the visual brightness of the star and the continuum flux at 5 um, but composed of two subcomponents that decay with different rates. The narrow line emission (50 km s-1 in FWHM) is near the systemic velocity of EX Lupi. These emission lines appear exclusively in v=1-0. The line widths translate to a characteristic orbiting radius of 0.4 AU. The broad line component (FWZI ~ 150 km s-1) is highly excited upto v<=6. The line flux of the component decreases faster than the narrow line emission. Simple modeling of the line profiles implies that the broad-line emitting gas is orbiting around the star at 0.04-0.4 AU. The excitation state, the decay speed of the line flux, and the line profile, indicate that the broad-line emission component is physically distinct from the narrow-line emission component, and more tightly related to the outburst event.

description: Questo lavoro fa parte di una trilogia di interviste dedicate al tema della paternità oggi. L’idea è quella di proporre un’analisi sulla metamorfosi contemporanea della figura simbolica del padre (da un punto di vista psicoanalitico, storico, politico, estetico) attraverso il confronto fra grandi psicoanalisti italiani, appartenenti a scuole analitiche differenti. L’intervista a Simona Argentieri, medico psicoanalista, Membro Ordinario e Didatta dell'Associazione Italiana di Psicoanalisi e dell'International Psycho-Analitical Association, chiude questa trilogia apportando una ricchissima analisi teorica, anche di natura estetica (in particolare su cinema e letteratura), per lo più di matrice freudiana. La sua riflessione si concentra soprattutto sulle risposte positive alla crisi contemporanea della figura paterna tradizionale.

description: This article discusses how the relationship between the perceiving and the perceived can be outlined in terms of a current philosophical and neuroscientific understanding. The ambition is to highlight the potential relations between the processes of consciousness and interpretation, particularly regarding the experience of art as invoking an immediate feeling. The article takes a philosophical standpoint that is inspired by Edmund Husserl’s epistemological discussions regarding intentionality and tries to combine it with a discussion of art as having the potential to invoke a feeling. In other words, the article tries to answer how, if we maintain the philosophical understanding of ourselves as the perceiving entity, art can invoke an immediate feeling within us.

description: The notion, that aesthetic objects are not only things but also does something to those who engage with them, is consistent among various researchers in the arts and humanities; and also that this is not primarily a matter of interpretative symbolic meaning in the fields of semiotics and hermeneutics, but may rather be associated with sense perception, such as arousal, vigilance, fascination and appraisal (Marković 2012). In this position paper, we sketch out a conceptual approach for the study of art by combining, on the one hand, the systemic-functional and social-semiotic approach to textual analysis of grammar (Kress & van Leeuwen 2006, van Leeuwen 1999), and on the other hand, attentional and affective-computing techniques for measuring audience response.

Come e cosa desidera la narrativa italiana degli anni Zero
Creators: name: Simonetti, Gianluigi
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari

description: L'articolo analizza il trattamento del tema del desiderio - erotico e amoroso - nel romanzo italiano degli ultimi anni, impegnandosi nell'esame ravvicinato di alcuni testi esemplari. La campionatura vuole da un lato isolare alcune opere rappresentative della situazione attuale della narrativa contemporanea, dall'altro  proporre un'ipotesi categoriale che seziona il campo di studio in tre parti; il sondaggio sembra infatti suggerire che le dinamiche del desiderio vengono rese in maniera specifica nei diversi ambiti della letteratura di consumo, in quella di 'nobile intrattenimento' e in quella 'forte' e letterariamente più ambiziosa. L'analisi formale risulta insomma integrata a una prospettiva di stroria dello stile, secondo un metodo che permette di utilizzare la figuralità letteraria come 'indicatore sociologico' di processi politici (e forse antropologici) in atto.

description: For a set $Γ$, a function $λ:Γ\to Γ$ and a non-trivial abelian group $K$, the generalized shift $σ_λ:K^Γ\to K^Γ$ is defined by $(x_i)_{i\in Γ}\mapsto (x_{λ(i)})_{i\inΓ}$. In this paper we compute the algebraic entropy of $σ_λ$; it is either zero or infinite, depending exclusively on the properties of $λ$.

I desideri e le masse. Una riflessione sul presente
Creators: name: Mazzoni, Guido
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2013

description: Negli ultimi quarantacinque anni la vita psichica delle masse occidentali ha subito una metamorfosi senza precedenti; noi tutti ne siamo stati trasformati e travolti. Fedele a un’idea eroica e maschile dell’accadere e dell’esperienza, all’idea che le rotture epocali si manifestino sotto forma di guerre e rivoluzioni, una parte della cultura contemporanea continua a sottovalutare la portata di quanto è avvenuto. È una miopia che si manifesta talvolta in forma esplicita e più spesso in forma implicita, come accade ogni volta che applichiamo alla nostra epoca concetti, parole e miti che non reggono più. Molte delle categorie con cui giudichiamo il presente, con cui prendiamo una posizione etico-politica sui problemi della nostra epoca, danno l’impressione di scivolare sulla realtà senza afferrarla, o perché fanno riferimento a un futuro che, non rimandando più a un progetto politico, rappresenta solo la proiezione di un desiderio, o perché fanno riferimento a un passato che non ritornerà. Quali sono i tratti più vistosi della metamorfosi? Che cosa è accaduto?

description: We accelerate many-flavor lattice QCD simulations using multiple GPUs. Multiple pseudo-fermion fields are introduced additively and independently for each flavor in the many-flavor HMC algorithm. Using the independence of each pseudo-fermion field and the blocking technique for the quark solver, we can assign the solver task to each GPU card. In this report we present the blocking technique for the many-flavor dynamical QCD simulations. We investigate the effect of the blocking and the acceleration with the multiple GPUs for the Schrödinger functional simulations with Wilson SU(3) plaquette gauge action and $N_f=10$ Wilson fermions. Five pseudo-fermion fields are introduced and the quark solver task is distributed in the ratio of 2:3 to two GPUs. We expect a 40% timing reduction from the single GPU case and have observed a 34% timing reduction in the test simulations.

description: Spontaneous CP-violating phases that do not depend on the parameters of the Higgs sector - the so-called calculable phases - are investigated. The simplest realization is in models with 3 Higgs doublets, in which the scalar potential is invariant under non-Abelian symmetries. The non-Abelian discrete group Delta(54) is shown to lead to the known structure of calculable phases obtained with Delta(27). We investigate the possibily of accommodating the observed fermion masses and mixings.

Quantum motion in superposition of Aharonov-Bohm with some additional electromagnetic fields

description: The structure of additional electromagnetic fields to the Aharonov-Bohm field, for which the Schrödinger, Klein-Gordon, and Dirac equations can be solved exactly are described and the corresponding exact solutions are found. It is demonstrated that aside from the known cases (a constant and uniform magnetic field that is parallel to the Aharonov-Bohm solenoid, a static spherically symmetrical electric field, and the field of a magnetic monopole), there are broad classes of additional fields. Among these new additional fields we have physically interesting electric fields acting during a finite time, or localized in a restricted region of space. There are additional time-dependent uniform and isotropic electric fields that allow exact solutions of the Schrodinger equation. In the relativistic case there are additional electric fields propagating along the Aharonov-Bohm solenoid with arbitrary electric pulse shape.
Morality when the mind is opaque : intent vs. outcome across the lifespan in Yasawa, Fiji
Creators: name: McNamara, Rita Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The ability to infer the presence and contents of other minds is one of the most powerful cognitive tools humans use to navigate our social worlds. Culture is an essential part of these social worlds. But how do mind and culture influence each other? Does culture merely shape the social situations that people navigate in the course of daily life, or does culture fundamentally alter the way that we perceive each other as we move through these social worlds? This dissertation examines how culture shapes mind through the specific example of people living in Yasawa, Fiji. Yasawan culture includes social norms that prohibit discussing others’ actions in terms of mental states – part of a wider phenomenon known as Opacity of Mind, documented in small-scale Indigenous societies and especially prevalent around the Pacific. This culturally-transmitted approach to thinking about minds offers an interesting contrast to the North American focus on minds and internal dispositions as the source of all behaviour. Across five studies, the research presented in this dissertation documents cross-cultural differences in how adults think about beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and social situations. This research also examines how underlying differences in everyday thinking about minds can be applied to social situations, resulting in different emphases on intent or outcome in moral judgments. These differences in intent vs. outcome focus are further shown to be more influenced by culture later in life; children in both cultures show similar degrees of intent focus while North American adults show greater intent focus and Yasawan adults show lower intent focus. This suggests that mental state inference and intentionality reasoning may be a part of core human cognition that is modulated by cultural influences – both increasing and decreasing mentalizing focus – into adulthood. More importantly, this work demonstrates the need to take cultural differences documented outside of urban laboratory research as a serious part of the research process. Cultural differences in adult psychological processing should not be considered as variation around an ideal prototype (conveniently documented in Western samples), but as reactions to specific socio-ecological pressures and historical influences that shape individuals into enculturated beings.
Cosmological Density Perturbations with a Scale-Dependent Newton's G

description: We explore possible cosmological consequences of a running Newton's constant $ G ( \Box ) $, as suggested by the non-trivial ultraviolet fixed point scenario in the quantum field-theoretic treatment of Einstein gravity with a cosmological constant term. In particular we focus here on what possible effects the scale-dependent coupling might have on large scale cosmological density perturbations. Starting from a set of manifestly covariant effective field equations derived earlier, we systematically develop the linear theory of density perturbations for a non-relativistic, pressure-less fluid. The result is a modified equation for the matter density contrast, which can be solved and thus provides an estimate for the growth index parameter $γ$ in the presence of a running $G$. We complete our analysis by comparing the fully relativistic treatment with the corresponding results for the non-relativistic (Newtonian) case, the latter also with a weakly scale dependent $G$.
