Social constructs and how not to ground them by Baysan, E

“…According to a current trend in social ontology, by articulating claims of social construction in terms of metaphysical grounding, we can shed light on the metaphysics of social construction and understand deep truths about social identities like race and gender. Focusing on two recent accounts, I argue that this move from social construction to grounding has limitations. …”

Journalism, media, and technology trends and predictions 2025 by Newman, N, Cherubini, F

“…Publishers are also worried about a significant fall in referrals from search as big tech companies integrate AI overviews and other ‘story-like’ responses to news queries.</p> <br> <p>There will be more focus this year on video platforms such as YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, where publisher content often struggles to compete with alternative sources such as personalities and influencers.…”

Bubble-beam accelerators: breaking the paradigm by Malyzhenkov, A, Dyks, LA, Corsini, R, Farabolini, W, Latina, A, Burrows, PN, Korysko, P, Tranchedone, L, Aksoy, A

“…In this work, by enhancing the space-charge forces in the photo-cathode injector of the Compact Linear Electron Accelerator for Research (CLEAR) at CERN, we produce electron bunches with a “bubble-like” shape, with a charge density mostly concentrated on the outside shell. …”

Deep neural networks have an inbuilt Occam’s razor by Mingard, C, Rees, H, Valle-Pérez, G, Louis, AA

“…This analysis shows that structured data, together with a specific Occam’s razor-like inductive bias towards (Kolmogorov) simple functions that exactly counteracts the exponential growth of the number of functions with complexity, is a key to the success of DNNs.…”

Diplomatic training and spaces of anticolonial worldmaking by Craggs, R, Harris, J, McConnell, F

“…Whilst many accounts of anticolonial and subaltern geopolitical projects focus on grassroots activism beyond and against the state, we argue we also need to attend to the contributions of those – like African diplomats in training - who critiqued Eurocentric and colonial international relations from subaltern positions whilst remaining privileged within the context of the postcolonial state.…”

Dynamic placement in refugee resettlement by Ahani, N, Gölz, P, Procaccia, AD, Teytelboym, A, Trapp, AC

“…Our algorithm is based on two-stage stochastic programming and achieves over 98% of the hindsight-optimal employment, compared with under 90% of current greedy-like approaches. This dramatic improvement persists even when we incorporate a vast array of practical features of the refugee resettlement process including inseparable families, batching, and uncertainty with respect to the number of future arrivals. …”

Spontaneous symmetry breaking of an optical polarization state in a polarization-selective nonlinear reson by Manannikov, K, Mironova, E, Poliakov, A, Mikhaylov, A, Ulanov, A, Lvovsky, A

“…We propose utilizing this mechanism to simulate an Ising-like interaction between multiple spatial modes and as a basis for a fully optical coherent Ising machine (CIM).…”

Towards the understanding of heavy quarks hadronization: from leptonic to heavy-ion collisions by Altmann, J, Dubla, A, Greco, V, Rossi, A, Skands, P

“…As several recent findings demonstrate, with e+e- collisions as a “vacuum-like” reference at one extreme, and central nucleus–nucleus as a dense, extended size system characterized by flow and local equilibrium at the opposite extreme, different collision systems offer a lever arm that can be exploited to probe with a range of heavy-flavour hadron species the onset of various hadronization processes. …”

How in-person conversations shape political polarization: quasi-experimental evidence from a nationwide initiative by Fang, X, Heuser, S, Stötzer, LS

“…We find asymmetric effects: conversations with like-minded individuals caused political views to become more extreme (ideological polarization); by contrast, conversations with contrary-minded individuals did not lead to a convergence of political views, but significantly reduced negative beliefs and attitudes toward ideological out-group members (affective polarization), while also improving perceived social cohesion more generally. …”

Dynamic placement in refugee resettlement by Ahani, N, Gölz, P, Procaccia, AD, Teytelboym, A, Trapp, AC

“…Our algorithm achieves over 98% of the hindsight- optimal employment compared to under 90% of current greedy-like approaches. This dramatic improvement persists even when we incorporate a vast array of practical features of the refugee resettlement process including indivisible families, batching, and uncertainty with respect to the number of future arrivals. …”

Unsettling subject English in the 21st century by Elliott, VF, McLean Davies, L

“…We see this as an opening up of a comparative conversation about subject English across the Anglophone world, the different contexts of unsettling, and what that subject might look like if it is to enact the justice imperatives of education in the 21st century. …”

Simultaneous controllers for stabilizing the frequency changes in deregulated power system using moth flame optimization by Peddakapu, kurukuri, Mohd Rusllim, Mohamed, Srinivasarao, P., Leung, Puiki

“…Further work to reduce the changes in tie-line has been applied through different FACTS controllers, such as Distributed power flow controller (DPFC), Thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC), Unified power flow controller (UPFC), and Static synchronous series compensator (SSSC); integrated into the AGC system with the co-ordination of Ultra-capacitor (UC). …”
