THE TABLE OF EUDEMIAN ETHICS II 3 (1220B38–1221A12) IN CONTEXT

Abstract In his new edition of the Greek text of Aristotle’s Eudemian Ethics , Rowe has excised the third column of the table of EE II 3. In this essay, I argue that a careful understanding of the argumentative approach Aristotle adopts in these sections provides strong grounds f...

Beyond the Collectivist-Individualist Dichotomy: Parenting Styles and Adolescent Development in South Asian and European Contexts- A Systematic Review

Parenting style research often relies on Western theories that may not fully capture parenting in non-Western societies. This review synthesized evidence from 100 studies examining parenting styles and adolescent development across South Asia and Europe. The sample included 31 So...

Rhodoglobus galactosidasius sp. nov., a psychrophilic Actinomycetota producing a cold-active β-galactosidase isolated from Cape Hallett, Antarctica

A novel psychrophilic member of the phylum Actinomycetota , designated strain CPHL_1 T , was isolated from the shoreline of Cape Hallett, Antarctica. Cells were Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming rods (0.7–1.0 µm in length) with orange to yellow pigmentation. O...

Caesarism in the Age of Elitism: The Case of Pareto

The goal of my article is to investigate the relationship between Caesarism and Elite theory across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In particular, I will focus on Vilfredo Pareto (1848–1923), the older and, to a certain extent, most authoritative representative of the so-...

Bias-Driven Hot-Correlated Electrons in the Two-Dimensional Ferromagnet Fe4GeTe2

Abstract Electronic correlations can strongly influence the properties of magnetic materials, yet their role in charge transport in devices under operating conditions remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that an applied bias voltage can drive a breakdown of quasiparticle coh...

Adapting and Promoting Tourism for Children in Venice and the Lagoon Islands: A Comparative Analysis of Food-Related Discourse Strategies in English and in Italian

According to the latest available version of the Annual Tourism Survey drafted by the City of Venice, in 2023, 12,628,079 tourists visited Venice and the Lagoon Islands (Bettiol & Marini, 2025). This survey does not provide data on the age groups of these visitors, but they are a...

Brief communication: Shared parameterisation for estimating snow water equivalent through cosmic ray neutron sensors in the Italian Alps

Abstract. We present a novel approach based on leveraging a shared parameterisation to derive snow water equivalent (SWE) with cosmic ray neutron sensing (CRNS) probes. The network comprises 26 sites (1422–2901 ma.s.l.) in the Italian Alps. The parameterisation was defined by fit...

The Other Side of Caesarism: A Genealogy of Italian Fascist Authoritarianism

This contribution explores the cultural foundations of the concept of Caesarism, from the late positivist naturalization of national characters up to Fascism. The first section argues that the ill-defined concept of Caesarism circulating in Italian political discourse was based o...

Knowledge Spillovers Versus Competitive Dynamics: Evidence from Startups and Scaleups in Milan’s Tech Ecosystem

Abstract Moving beyond the traditional focus on geographical proximity, this study investigates the existence and nature of spillover effects within a non-geographical space. The core novelty of the paper is operational and methodological: we exploit text data scraped from corpor...

Biohydrogen Production from Biowaste: HAZOP Analysis Applied to a Pilot-Scale Reactor

This paper focuses on the HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) analysis applied to a dark fermentation process designed to produce biohydrogen. A pilot reactor for hydrogen production from sludge and the organic fraction of municipal solid waste was studied. With reference to the ferme...

Regional risk assessment Part II: identification of diffuse soil contamination hotspots

Abstract Diffuse soil contamination represents a widespread environmental issue, resulting from multiple low-intensity and spatially dispersed sources, including atmospheric deposition, agricultural practices, traffic emissions, and legacy industrial activities. Unlike point-sour...

A New Sustainable Approach to Antibiotic Resistance: Development of bis‐Quaternary Ammonium Salts From 2,4,6‐Trichloro‐1,3,5‐Triazine

The development of highly effective antibiotics and antimicrobials over the centuries has greatly improved human life. However, the irresponsible use of these substances and their release into the environment have led to the emergence of resistant microorganisms. Quaternary ammon...

Marine protected areas and maritime spatial planning integration dynamics across Europe

Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) has emerged as a central governance tool to balance ecological, social, and economic uses of marine space, while Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) remain essential for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem resilience. Effective integration of MPAs in...

Transient Laser‐Induced Periodic Surface Structures Revealed by Time‐Resolved EUV Diffuse Scattering

ABSTRACT The formation of permanent laser‐induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on solid surfaces under impulsive laser irradiation above the damage threshold has been the subject of extensive research. Here, we report the formation of transient quasi‐periodic surface modul...

Rapid screening approach to evaluate MEC performance for biohydrogen production using synthetic and real organic waste-derived substrates

In this study, a rapid screening strategy was developed to accelerate the identification of optimal operating conditions in dual-cathode microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) for hydrogen production from synthetic and real waste-derived substrates. The approach consisted of progres...

Closed-loop blow forming: direct reuse of trimming scrap for new component manufacture

Abstract In this work, the direct reuse of scrap from the addendum region of previously blow-formed aluminium sheets to manufacture smaller components through a secondary forming step was studied. Numerical simulations and experimental tests were conducted to assess the feasibili...

Measuring Ocean Surface Waves

Abstract Propagating waves on the ocean surface can be represented as a stochastic process whose statistics are characterized by a spectrum. This paper reviews methods for measuring the wave spectrum and related quantities. Observations begin by sensing fluid dynamical properties...

Volcano–climate interactions: reframing the volcano–climate puzzle

Explosive volcanic eruptions are major natural perturbations of the Earth system. By increasing stratospheric aerosol loading, they exert a dual radiative forcing: enhanced scattering of incoming solar radiation induces global surface cooling, while absorption of terrestrial radi...

Warum finanzielle Anreize verpuffen: Verhaltensökonomische Perspektiven auf wirtschaftspolitische Maßnahmen in der Energiekrise

Zusammenfassung Vor dem Hintergrund der Energiekrise 2022/23 und der Gefahr einer Gasmangellage suchte die deutsche Wirtschaftspolitik das Verbrauchsverhalten der Haushalte durch finanzielle Anreize zu beeinflussen. Markus Dertwinkel-Kalt und Matthias Sutter analysieren, warum hi...
