Reconsidering the “Critical-Corrective” Article of the Single Article Approved in September 2017 on “Iranian Citizenship of Children Born to Iranian Women Married to Non-Iranian M... by Mostafa Daneshpajooh

“…However, the conceptual ambiguities and implementation problems of this single article caused the legislator to repeal the previous single article by approving a new article in 1398.This article is an attempt to illustrate the article’s strengths and weaknesses by reconsidering the “critical-corrective” nature of the new single article, and especially to explain its incompatibility with the forty-first principle of the constitution; it is finally suggested that due to the truth and nature of citizenship and more compatibility with Article 41 of the Constitution, maternal lineage, like paternal lineage, secure the Iranian citizenship to the child.…”

Same-sex marriage: a defense based on foundations of natural law by Pablo Antonio Lago

“…I conclude that this way of conceptualizing human sexuality is “far more evident” than the one suggested by Finnis and is also consistent with Germain Grisez's interpretation of Aquinas’ first principle of practical reason - with which Finnis himself agrees.…”

New approach to strongly coupled N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM via integrability by Simon Ekhammar, Nikolay Gromov, Paul Ryan

“…Abstract Finding a systematic expansion of the spectrum of free superstrings on AdS5 × S5, or equivalently strongly coupled N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM in the planar limit, remains an outstanding challenge. No first principle string theory methods are readily available, instead the sole tool at our disposal is the integrability-based Quantum Spectral Curve (QSC). …”
