Burden of disease scenarios for 204 countries and territories, 2022-2050: a forecasting analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Vollset, SE, Ababneh, HS, Abate, YH, Lacey, BWH, GBD 2021 Forecasting Collaborators

“…<h4>Methods</h4>Using forecasts of major drivers of health such as the Socio-demographic Index (SDI; a composite measure of lag-distributed income per capita, mean years of education, and total fertility under 25 years of age) and the full set of risk factor exposures captured by GBD, we provide cause-specific forecasts of mortality, years of life lost (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) by age and sex from 2022 to 2050 for 204 countries and territories, 21 GBD regions, seven super-regions, and the world. …”

Reinterpreting politics in thirteenth-century south-west Wales by Brodie, HD

“…Part 3 offers new perspectives on the region’s political narrative, drawing on the preceding thematic analysis. It demonstrates that until the mid-thirteenth century there was much more political cooperation between Welsh and Marcher lords than hitherto understood and considers why the pattern of politics changed, drawing comparison with medieval Ireland.…”

China's rural migrant workers, the state, and labor politics by Chan, J, Selden, M

“…The proletarianization of rural migrants is distinctive to contemporary China's development model, in which the state has fostered the growth of a “semi-proletariat” numbering more than 200 million to fuel labor-intensive industries and urbanization. …”

Fifty shades of deprivation: disaggregating types of economic disadvantage in studies of terrorism by Hertog, S, Arellano, A, Hegghammer, T, Østby, G

“…Does economic deprivation fuel terrorist recruitment? A large empirical literature has explored this question, but the findings remain contradictory and inconclusive. …”

Notes on Thermodynamics : Hot Oolong Cools / by Kang, Hway Chuan, author 655469, World Scientific (Online service) 655444

“…Thermodynamics is presented as the macroscopic approach to understanding Nature when heat is involved. The book draws upon the idea of microstates where that clarifies the macroscopic ideas: entropy of mixing of gases is linked to Boltzmann and Gibbs' entropy formulations, thus motivating the formulation of the chemical potential of non-ideal systems in terms of their activities. …”

Experimentation in wicked situations: how activists construct pragmatic action frames by Savaget, P, Roulet, T, Ventresca, M

“…We address this gap by drawing on the concept of ‘action frames’ and deploying a comparative case study of nine cases in diverse contexts in which activists experimented with wicked problems. …”

Assessment reform in Chile: a contested discursive space by Flórez Petour, M

“…The consideration of this broader framework allows for the inclusion of those aspects that are generally left out of research on assessment reforms, filling a relevant research gap and reconceptualising the field through a more complex approach. …”

Novel material composites for dielectric elastomer actuators by Ankit

“…Generally, researchers have tried to modify either of these properties with addition of solid conductive or ceramic fillers, or chemical modification of the elastomer, and this has led to undesirable changes on the other material properties. Drawing inspiration from biological materials like skin, which is a soft material system filled with fluids, a novel composite is synthesized utilizing a solid polymer matrix and a high dielectric constant liquid filler, an ionic liquid. …”
