Sweden's image in the world: still a ‘model’? by Schroeder, R

“…Positive models for societal development have existed in the past and included the United States during the heyday of modernization theory. This paper argues that positive models are useful, partly to crystallize options among the much-debated varieties of capitalism, and partly as ideals which can be held up by social thinkers and publics as aspirations for the good society. …”

Self and self-consciousness: Aristotelian ontology and Cartesian duality by Christofidou, A

“…The claims that Descartes introspectively encounters the self and that the Cartesian extent of inner space is self-contained are profound errors, distortions through the lenses of modern theories.…”

International Political Economy: Some African Applications. by Collier, P

Intergroup bias. by Hewstone, M, Rubin, M, Willis, H

“…We focus on five issues and identify areas for future research: (a) measurement and conceptual issues (especially in-group favoritism vs. out-group derogation, and explicit vs. implicit measures of bias); (b) modern theories of bias highlighting motivational explanations (social identity, optimal distinctiveness, uncertainty reduction, social dominance, terror management); (c) key moderators of bias, especially those that exacerbate bias (identification, group size, status and power, threat, positive-negative asymmetry, personality and individual differences); (d) reduction of bias (individual vs. intergroup approaches, especially models of social categorization); and (e) the link between intergroup bias and more corrosive forms of social hostility.…”

The Evolution of Social Norms by Young, H

“…They also show that the modern theory of norm dynamics yields insights and predictions that go beyond conventional equilibrium analysis. …”

Sex increases the efficacy of natural selection in experimental yeast populations. by Goddard, MR, Godfray, H, Burt, A

“…Further, in organisms with unequal-sized gametes, the female transmits her genes at only half the rate of an asexual equivalent (the twofold cost of sex). Many modern theories that provide an explanation for the advantage of sex incorporate an idea originally proposed by Weismann more than 100 years ago: sex allows natural selection to proceed more effectively because it increases genetic variation. …”

Bifurcation analysis points towards the source of beta neuronal oscillations in Parkinson's disease by Nevado-Holgado, A, Terry, JR, Bogacz, R

“…Once SNc neurons have died, the basal ganglia starts showing prominent features of malfunction, and the characteristics symptoms of Parkinson's disease began to be observed in the patient (i.e. general difficulty or inability to execute motor movements and limb tremor, among others). Modern theory of Parkinson's disease focuses on the abnormal brain activity oscillations observed in the basal ganglia, which are consistently observed in parkinsonian patients and correlate with their symptoms. …”

A systematic review of mathematical models of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission: 1970-2010. by Reiner, R, Perkins, T, Barker, C, Niu, T, Chaves, L, Ellis, A, George, D, Le Menach, A, Pulliam, JR, Bisanzio, D, Buckee, C, Chiyaka, C, Cummings, D, Garcia, A, Gatton, M, Gething, P, Hartley, D, Johnston, G, Klein, E, Michael, E, Lindsay, S, Lloyd, A, Pigott, D, Reisen, W, Ruktanonchai, N

“…Although the analysis illustrated a growing acknowledgement of geographical, ecological and epidemiological complexities in modelling transmission, most models during the past 40 years closely resemble the Ross-Macdonald model. Modern theory would benefit from an expansion around the concepts of heterogeneous mosquito biting, poorly mixed mosquito-host encounters, spatial heterogeneity and temporal variation in the transmission process.…”

Dynamics and mechanisms of interfacial photoinduced electron transfer processes of third generation photovoltaics and photocatalysis. by Bauer, C, Teuscher, J, Brauer, J, Punzi, A, Marchioro, A, Ghadiri, E, De Jonghe, J, Wielopolski, M, Banerji, N, Moser, J

“…We aim to achieve a fundamental understanding of these phenomena by designing experiments that can be used to test and alter modern theory and computational modeling. One example illustrating recent investigations into the details of the ultrafast processes that form the basis for photoinduced charge separation at a molecular/bulk interface relevant to dye-sensitized solar cells is briefly presented here: Kinetics of interfacial PET and charge recombination processes were measured by fs and ns transient spectroscopy in a heterogeneous donor-bridge-acceptor (D-B-A) system, where D is a Ru(II)(terpyridyl-PO3)(NCS)3 complex, B an oligo-p-phenylene bridge, and A nanocrystalline TiO2. …”
