Avner de Shalit argues that philosophers should listen to what the public thinks. He argues that by engaging with people in the streets, political philosophy will improve. Yet, what makes the public special in this regard? This response will do three things. First, it asks whether discussing with the public differs in any meaningful way from discussing with other people such as colleagues or stude

Holistic approaches are needed to address environmental issues effectively and sustainably. Scientific insights that consider the interconnectedness of different environmental issues may stimulate innovation and policy responses that can increase Earth system stability. However, for this to occur, scientists need to be aware of different environmental issues beyond climate change and acknowledge t

We study stochastic pairwise interaction network systems whereby a finite population of agents, identified with the nodes of a (directed) graph, update their states in response to both individual mutations and pairwise interactions with their neighbors. The considered class of systems includes the main epidemic models —such as the SIS, SIR, and SIRS models—, certain social dynamics models —such as

Background and purpose: Real-world data on management and outcomes of patients with simultaneously diagnosed synchronous colorectal liver and lung metastases are limited. This national study evaluated referral patterns, treatment strategies, and survival in a population-based cohort. Patient/material and methods: This retrospective cohort study used Swedish national registries to identify patients

Here, we present how small-angle scattering and neutron reflectometry can be combined with computer simulations to characterise the structure and response of soft, compressible microgels, both in dilute condition and in crowded environments. After introducing the concept of softness, we summarise the principles of these scattering methods and describe the numerical synthesis of microgels. Then, we

Introduction: Benchmarking colorectal surgery outcomes informs quality improvement. The ESCP CORREA 2022 snapshot audit aimed to assess contemporary colorectal resection practices and short-term outcomes across European countries and beyond. Methods: An international prospective multicentre audit was conducted in which adults undergoing elective or emergency colorectal resection during a 6-week pe

Highlights: What are the main findings? A ~32-year aridity cycle is detected across China through Fourier spectrum analysis of 1950–2022 aridity data. An arid–humid climate divide is revealed by entropy-based climate stability indicators. Recent remote sensing data show a nationwide expansion of surface water bodies and localized groundwater recovery. What are the implications of the main findings

Nära relationer är avgörande för människors välbefinnande. Anknytningsteori utgår från att tidiga erfarenheter med omsorgsfigurer (oftast föräldrar) under uppväxten formar hur individer lär sig förstå sig själva, andra och omvärlden. Genom upprepade interaktioner med omsorgsfigurer i situationer präglade av distress utvecklar barn mentala bilder som liknar ett manuskript, som innehåller implicit kClose relationships are fundamental to human wellbeing. Attachment theory posits that early caregiving experiences shape how individuals come to understand themselves, others, and the world. Through repeated caregiving interactions in situations of distress, children develop script-like mental structures (i.e., attachment schemas). Attachment schemas, thus, hold implicit knowledge about availabili

A growing empirical and theoretical literature has investigated to what extent socioeconomic inequalities are influenced by the outcomes and characteristics of ancestors prior to the parental generation. This paper contributes by examining multigenerational associations of earnings and occupational status in the entire Swedish population born 1968-1976, amounting to over 200,000 three-generation l

Despite the breadth of change management research, limited attention has been paid to how change management practices are adapted to specific organizational contexts. This review addresses this gap by examining how context is conceptualized in relation to change management. Based on a contingency approach, which underscores that processes and structures of an organization need to be adapted to the

The world faces a shared challenge in slowing climate change and mitigating its effects. As part of addressing this challenge, innovation is driving regulatory and non-regulatory building development, product advancement and research aimed at delivering a more sustainable built environment. However, the built environment also needs to be resilient to a wide range of hazards. Sustainability and res
