Background: The software engineering community has expressed growing concern regarding the need for more connections between research and practice. Despite the large amount of knowledge researchers generate, its impact on real-world practice is uncertain. Meanwhile, practitioners in industry often struggle to access and utilize relevant research outcomes that could inform and enhance their work.
This article examines a number of contemporary compatibilist views on freedom and responsibility. The discussion is organized around themes from Daniel Dennett's influential compatibilist work, Elbow Room (1984), and in the light of these themes the article also considers other compatibilist views, including those of Paul Benson, Martha Klein, John Fischer and Mark Ravizza, Robert Audi, and Kevin
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane resident P5A-ATPases broadly affect protein biogenesis and quality control, and yet their molecular function remains debated. Here, we report cryo-EM structures of a P5A-ATPase, CtSpf1, covering multiple transport intermediates of the E1 → E1-ATP → E1P-ADP → E1P → E2P → E2.Pi → E2 → E1 cycle. In the E2P and E2.Pi states a cleft spans the entire membrane, holding
This essay explores artistic expressions dealing with themes of nuclear weapons and radioactivity in Israel/Palestine. It brings together a variety of different sources representing critical interventions in the debate on Israeli nuclear weapons, particularly their opacity, and their absent presence in the country and in wider political debates. The artistic pieces demonstrate how the reactor is m
Nordic animation has experienced an intense development through digitalization which has led to wider proliferation and increased versatility. This chapter maps the development of Nordic animation in the 21st Century from feature film tentpoles to independent shorts and the thematic diversity it constitutes.
If hedonism is taken to be the view that all and only pleasures are the bearers of intrinsic value whilst also saying that complex things, such as states of affairs, can be ascribed intrinsic value, the hedonic thesis seems to be contradictory. Furthermore it has been argued that the hedonic thesis is inconsistent in its treatment of the notion of intrinsic value in another sense, namely that if t
The end of the Cold War marked the ending of an era of a bipolar rivalry, but it also brought about a new set of challenges for policymakers and national intelligence agencies. One of these new challenges is sharing sensitive information with states and actors outside comfortable alliances, whilst countering a myriad of asymmetric, often low-level type of security threats. Implementation of intell
When re-imagining, re-thinking, and re-writing entrepreneurship in this book, the authors have come to the conclusion that the concept that describes it most precisely is one that signifies a process that includes imagining, seductively describing, playfully organizing, political agility in navigating common sense, and business sensibility before possible commerce.This book develops a process theo
In my blog post, I turn to a more technical aspect of the judgment, namely the question of causation. I will untangle the analytical gymnastics that the Court performs regarding this question. I will argue that the reasoning regarding causation is confusing and that it is not clear how specifically the ‘real prospect’ test is applied for finding a breach.
We develop a two-country, two-sector overlapping generations model to examine the effect of population aging on the real exchange rate (RER). While an older population raises the relative demand for nontradables (a feature of structural transformation) putting upward pressure on relative prices thus appreciating the RER, it also implies a lower real interest rate (distinctive of secular stagnation
We present an epistemological schema of natural sciences inspired by Peirce’s pragmaticist view, stressing the role of the phenomenological map, that connects reality and our ideas about it. The schema has a recognisable mathematical/logical structure which allows to explore some of its consequences. We show that seemingly independent principles as the requirement of reproducibility of experiments
