Enduring elites in quoted sources: Institutional alignment in Finnish media, 1999–2018 by Seuri Olli, Koivunen Anu, Levola Henna, Mäkelä Eetu

“…According to our data, the hybrid media context does not lead to an increased diversification of sources. Instead, our analysis indicates a concentration and consolidation of sources across different news outlets: a continued elite source dominance in domestic political news. …”

Evidence for AGN Feedback in Galaxy Clusters and Groups by Myriam Gitti, Fabrizio Brighenti, Brian R. McNamara

“…The current generation of flagship X-ray missions, Chandra and XMM-Newton, has changed our understanding of the so-called “cool-core” galaxy clusters and groups. Instead of the initial idea that the thermal gas is cooling and flowing toward the center, the new picture envisages a complex dynamical evolution of the intracluster medium (ICM) regulated by the radiative cooling and the nongravitational heating from the active galactic nucleus (AGN). …”

Narratives of Social Mobility in the Post-Industrial Working Class and the Use of Credit in Chilean Households by Alejandro Marambio-Tapia

“…This narrative convinces them that they are part of a « new middle class », defined fundamentally as people who mobilise credit as an asset for achieving social goals instead of relying on State welfare or constructing identity through educational achievement or occupational mobility.…”

Iterativity, agency, and feminism in the Hindu Tij songs of Nepal by Basanti Timalsina, Victoria L. Bergvall

“…However, some recent songs and videos exploit the iterativity of language and new media to position women instead as powerful agents to choose partners (or not), pursue education and economic freedom, and join collectively to choose women’s empowerment and rebel against patriarchal religious expectations. …”

A Novel Data-Driven Terminal Iterative Learning Control with Iteration Prediction Algorithm for a Class of Discrete-Time Nonlinear Systems by Shangtai Jin, Zhongsheng Hou, Ronghu Chi

“…A data-driven predictive terminal iterative learning control (DDPTILC) approach is proposed for discrete-time nonlinear systems with terminal tracking tasks, where only the terminal output tracking error instead of entire output trajectory tracking error is available. …”

Policy analysis in sport: a review of mainstream meso-level frameworks and developing more sustainable policy for grassroots sport by Charles Mountifield

“…There is, however, an absence of consensus for an established framework for analysing sport policy in general and, instead, techniques emanating from other fields of study have been relied upon. …”

Rural innovation, ecosystem services and urbanisation processes in Liguria, between coastal and inner areas by Giampiero Lombardini, Angela Pilogallo, Giorgia Tucci

“…The case study of the Liguria Region is presented, with its marked polarisation between the linear coastal conurbation and inner areas, the areas providing the most significant number of ecosystem services and those with greater population and urbanisation density, which are instead organised as large demand poles. The paper analyses the relationship between environmental values, in terms of ecosystem multifunctionality, and rural innovation forms that support territorial competitiveness. …”

Important Issues on Spectral Properties of a Transmission Eigenvalue Problem by Besiana Cobani, Aurora Simoni, Ledia Subashi

“…Here, we study the transmission eigenvalue problem corresponding to a new scattering problem, where boundary conditions differ from any other interior problem studied previously. more specifically, instead of prescribing the difference Cauchy data on the boundary which is the classical form of the problem, we consider the case when the difference of the trace of the fields is proportional to the normal derivative of the field. …”

Improved method of step length estimation based on inverted pendulum model by Qi Zhao, Boxue Zhang, Jingjing Wang, Wenquan Feng, Wenyan Jia, Mingui Sun

“…Motion sensors within this device are used to record body movement from the trunk instead of extremities. Two signal-processing techniques are applied to our algorithm design. …”

Exploitation Feminism: Trashiness, Lo-Fidelity and Utopia in She-Devils on Wheels and Blood Orgy of the Leather Girls by Kristina Pia Hofer

“…This paper suggests a different approach: by addressing how Lucas appropriates and reworks the outdated aesthetics, especially the untimely lo-fidelity sound, that distinguish Lewis’s earlier Girl Gang film, I will show how both films propel a utopian, fantastic, exaggerated “exploitation feminism,” instead of documenting historical feminist movements of their times. …”

$K$-$b$-Frames for Hilbert Spaces and the $b$-Adjoint Operator by Chaimae Mezzat, Samir Kabbaj

“…The idea is to take a sequence from a Banach space and see how it can be a frame for a Hilbert space. Instead of the scalar product, we will use a new product called the $b$-dual product, which is constructed via a bilinear mapping. …”

The Implementation of TSP Algorithm in Optimization of the Movement Path of the Mobile Medical Laboratory During the Post-Earthquake Using GIS, ACO and ICA Algorithms (Case Study:... by Mohammad Hosein Saraei, Mohammad Reza Rezaei, mohsen adeli

“…The view points of the model are areas that prepared to temporary post-earthquake settlement in Gorgan city and the spatial and temporal real-time distances in the urban network are used instead of Euclidian distances. The results of the implementation of the model have shown that the Ant Colony Optimization has performed the route optimization in two parameters of time and distance more effectively than the two dijkstra and Imperialist Competition Algorithm.…”

Charismatic Leadership in the Middle East and North Africa in the 21 st Century: Regional Specifics and Prospects for the Evolution of the Phenomenon by N. Yu. Surkov

“…The main conclusion of the paper is that the Middle East and North Africa are witnessing the arrival of the third generation of charismatic leaders, who will follow conservative instead of progressive agenda. On the regional scale it will bring relative stability to international relations (at least among the Arab states) while at domestic level the pressure of unresolved political, economic and social problems will be mounting resulting in a new wave of revolutions and instability in the midterm.…”

Smaller Fleas: Viruses of Microorganisms by Paul Hyman, Stephen T. Abedon

“…Life forms can be roughly differentiated into those that are microscopic versus those that are not as well as those that are multicellular and those that, instead, are unicellular. Cellular organisms seem generally able to host viruses, and this propensity carries over to those that are both microscopic and less than truly multicellular. …”
