Symmetry and Complexity

CC BY

Symmetry and complexity are the focus of a selection of outstanding papers, ranging from pure Mathematics and Physics to Computer Science and Engineering applications. This collection is based around fundamental problems arising from different fields, but all of them have the same task, i.e. breaking the complexity by the symmetry. In particular, in this Issue, there is an interesting paper dealing with circular multilevel systems in the frequency domain, where the analysis in the frequency domain gives a simple view of the system. Searching for symmetry in fractional oscillators or the analysis of symmetrical nanotubes are also some important contributions to this Special Issue. More papers, dealing with intelligent prognostics of degradation trajectories for rotating machinery in engineering applications or the analysis of Laplacian spectra for categorical product networks, show how this subject is interdisciplinary, i.e. ranging from theory to applications. In particular, the papers by Lee, based on the dynamics of trapped solitary waves for special differential equations, demonstrate how theory can help us to handle a practical problem. In this collection of papers, although encompassing various different fields, particular attention has been paid to the common task wherein the complexity is being broken by the search for symmetry.

Steuerwirkungen in einem dynamischen Unternehmensmodell

CC BY

Mit Hilfe des Maximumprinzips gelingt es - wozu die gegenwärtig vorherrschende mikroökonomische Steuerwirkungsanalyse wegen ihrer komparativ-statischen Vorgehensweise nicht in der Lage ist - die Wirkungen von Steuervariationen in ungleichgewichtigen Ausgangssituationen abzubilden. Um die Analyse nicht ihrer zeitlichen Dimension zu berauben, wird ein unvollkommener Kapitalmarkt unterstellt. Ferner werden nicht nur - wie traditionell bei der Steuerwirkungsanalyse - die Wirkungen der üblicherweise betrachteten Einzelsteuern untersucht, sondern, mit Hilfe der Teilsteuerrechnung, das Bündel an wesentlichen laufenden Steuern, die von den Unternehmen erhoben werden, mit ihrer konkreten steuerrechtlichen Ausgestaltung in der BRD.

Finanzierung des Gesundheitswesens und interpersonelle Umverteilung

CC BY

Die Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil im staatlichen Umverteilungssystem. Dennoch wurde ihren Umverteilungswirkungen sowohl in der politischen Diskussion als auch in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung bisher wenig Beachtung geschenkt. In dieser Arbeit soll daher untersucht werden, wie die GKV-Finanzierung stärker an ihren Distributionszielen ausgerichtet und somit ihre Verteilungseffizienz erhöht werden kann. Es werden zunächst adäquate Kriterien zur Bewertung und ein Konzept zur Messung der Umverteilungen entwickelt. Damit werden die Wirkungen im heutigen System und von ausgewählten Reformen untersucht. Aus den Ergebnissen der Untersuchung werden abschließend Rahmenbedingungen für eine zukunftsorientierte Finanzierungsreform abgeleitet.

Politikberatung fuer Marktwirtschaft in Transformationsstaaten: Grundlagen, Visionen und Anwendungen- Policy Advice on the Social Market Economy for Transformation Economies: Principles, Vision, and Applications

CC BY

Dieser Sammelband spannt einen Bogen von den ordnungstheoretischen und sozialphilosophischen Grundlagen wissenschaftlicher Politikberatung bis zur Anwendung ausgewählter Methoden. Die Autoren setzen sich mit unterschiedlichen Theorieangeboten für Politikberatung, Anforderungen an Politikberatung und Formen von Politikberatung auseinander. Thematisch bildet die Leitidee der Sozialen Marktwirtschaft, räumlich deren Nutzung bei der Politikberatung in den Transformationsländern Südosteuropas eine Klammer. Als Beispiele solcher Länder dienen Ungarn – bereits ein EU-Mitglied – und Albanien.<BR> This book runs the gamut of political economy from theoretical and philosophical principles to the application of selected methods in giving policy advice. Its authors compare the offerings of various disciplines, in particular economics and sociology, for policy advice. The demand and supply side of this activity are discussed. The leitmotif for the articles in this book is the Social Market Economy, and a further unifying theme is the application to transformation economies in South East Europe, both within the EU and beyond.

Energy Efficient Cities of Today and Tomorrow

CC BY

Ongoing urbanization and ever-growing harmful environmental impacts from urban areas necessitate a sustainability transformation in cities. However, cities are also centers of wealth creation and consumption, which both drive environmental degradation. It is clear that cities need to re-establish themselves as low-energy/low-carbon systems, but the transformation is complex in many ways and time is running out. This Special Issue, “Energy Efficient Cities of Today and Tomorrow”, seeks to provide a more profound understanding of the future energy requirements of urban areas and low-energy and low-carbon cities. The published papers range from macro-level assessments of cities manifesting themselves as forerunners in their environmental work to micro-level studies of pro-environmental attitudes and their impacts on individual emissions, a carbon footprint impacts of sharing of goods and services.

Illiberal Trends and Anti-EU Politics in East Central Europe

CC BY

This open access book provides an in-depth look into the background of rule of law problems and the open defiance of EU law in East Central European countries. Current illiberal trends and anti-EU politics have the potential to undermine mutual trust between member states and fundamentally change the EU. It is therefore crucial to understand their domestic causes, context conditions, specific processes and consequences. This volume contributes to empirically informed theory-building and includes contributions from researchers from various disciplines and multiple perspectives on illiberal trends and anti-EU politics in the region. The qualitative case studies, comparative works and quantitative analyses provide a comprehensive picture of current societal, political and institutional developments in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Through studying similarities and differences between East Central European and other EU countries, the chapters also explore whether there are regional patterns of democracy- and EU-related problems. Astrid Lorenz is Professor of the Political System of Germany and Politics in Europe in the Institute of Political Science at Leipzig University, Germany.Lisa H. Anders is a researcher in the Institute for Political Science at Leipzig University, Germany.

Indigenous Life Projects and Extractivism: Ethnographies from South America

CC BY

Exploring indigenous life projects in encounters with extractivism, the present open access volume discusses how current turbulences actualise questions of indigeneity, difference and ontological dynamics in the Andes and Amazonia. While studies of extractivism in South America often focus on wider national and international politics, this contribution instead provides ethnographic explorations of indigenous politics, perspectives and worlds, revealing loss and suffering as well as creative strategies to mediate the extralocal. Seeking to avoid conceptual imperialism or the imposition of exogenous categories, the chapters are grounded in the respective authors’ long-standing field research. The authors examine the reactions (from resistance to accommodation), consequences (from anticipation to rubble) and materials (from fossil fuel to water) diversely related to extractivism in rural and urban settings. How can Amerindian strategies to preserve localised communities in extractivist contexts contribute to ways of thinking otherwise?

Zinc Signaling in Physiology and Pathogenesis

CC BY-NC-ND

The essential trace element zinc plays indispensable roles in multiple cellular processes. It regulates a great number of protein functions, including transcription factors, enzymes, adapters, and growth factors as a structural and/or catalytic factor. Recent studies have highlighted another function of zinc as an intra- and intercellular signaling mediator, which became recognized as the “zinc signal”. Indeed, zinc regulates cellular signaling pathways, which enable conversion of extracellular stimuli to intracellular signals, and controls various intracellular and extracellular events, and thus zinc mediates communication between cells. The zinc signal is essential for physiology, and its dysregulation causes a variety of diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, osteoarthritis, dermatitis, and dementia.This Special Issue focuses on crucial roles of zinc signaling in biological processes in molecular and physiological basis, addressing the future directions and questions underlying this unique phenomenon. Because there is growing interest and attention in physiopathological contribution of zinc signal, we believe this Special Issue will provide very timely information on it and thus should appeal to a wide range of readers.

Der sechste Sinn

CC BY-NC-ND

Paranormale Erfahrungen wie Hellsehen, Telepathie, Geisterkontakte, Nahtodeserlebnisse und Präkognition sind seit alters bekannt und dokumentiert. In prämodernen, »traditionellen« Kulturen bildeten sie eine Selbstverständlichkeit. Das Buch geht den gängigsten Phänomenen nach und versucht auf ethnologischer Grundlage, kombiniert mit parapsychologischen und neueren naturwissenschaftlichen (physikalischen) Erkenntnissen, eine Erklärung dafür zu geben. Der Essay eröffnet durch seine interdisziplinäre Fundierung und seinen Materialreichtum faszinierende Einsichten in ein zugleich altes wie auch aktuelles Thema und regt zum Nach- und Weiterdenken über den »sechsten Sinn« an.

Il puzzle dei ceti medi

CC BY

The issue of the middle class has seen a recovery of interest in public opinion in the last decade, especially in light of the problems connected with the transition to flexible capitalism and the advent of the economic crisis. In the scientific debate, it has been present since the dawn of modern sociology as a phenomenon difficult to frame from the theoretical point of view and even more difficult to empirically investigate. Starting from these premises, the volume offers a critical reinterpretation of classic and contemporary authors and contributions, focusing its analysis on the role played by the middle classes themselves in the process of change, trying to identify and highlight the inter-connections between the size of structure, identity and action.
