AbstractEnergiewende (energy transition) has become a worldwide critical challenge. Unlike extensive literature that explains Germany's energy transition focusing on federal actors, this study analyzes the role of Schleswig‐Holstein in federal wind energy policy‐making. Schleswig‐Holstein was an economically poor state governed by the Christian Democratic Union from 1950 to 1988 and supported nuclear energy in the late 1970s and early 1980s. By integrating the notions of "leaders," "pioneers," and "entrepreneurs," and exploring the relationship between these change agents and "followers," this study elucidates a nuanced classification of actors. An examination of proceedings of the federal assembly, the second chamber, and the Schleswig‐Holstein state parliament revealed that Schleswig‐Holstein changed its role from a potential veto‐coalition player in the 1970s to a constructive pusher of repowering older windmills in the 2009 Renewable Energy Act revision. This study also highlights that leaders, pioneers, and entrepreneurs do not necessarily overlap and do capture different change agents.

Diabetes self-management education and support are necessary for all people living with diabetes, but its accessibility is limited worldwide. Nudge strategies have been proposed as an environmental outreach for diabetes management. This article provides further insights regarding environmental restructuring nudges into the cumulative evidence on diabetes self-management interventions from existing systematic reviews that classified primary trials using the behavior change technique taxonomy (BCTTv1). Among the 137 relevant articles searched through the bibliographic databases until 2022, three systematic reviews were scrutinized. Environmental restructuring nudges have been tested in interpersonal communications for diabetes self-management. Although nudge-based techniques were used with other types of behavior techniques in various trial contexts, the independent effects of social restructuring nudges were not denied in previous meta-analyses. Environmental restructuring nudges may be feasible in diabetes management, but they are still controversial with internal and external validation. Considering care accessibility for diabetes management, social restructuring nudges applied to healthcare providers are expected to complement healthcare systems. For future implementation, the rationale for the practice should be explicit in the conceptualization and evidence synthesis of diabetes-specific nudge interventions based on global sources.

Japanese American writer Karen Tei Yamashita's first novel, Through the Arc of the Rainforest (1990), portrays protagonist Kazumasa Ishimaru as "a Japanese Santa Claus", depicted as having a plastic ball spinning in front of his face. Yamashita presents this magic realist hero as a satire of Japan in the 1990s, which became the developed nation needed to support the developing world under the new Marshall Plan. Focusing on Kazumaza's participation in charity, this essay explores the gift economy embodied by this Japanese immigrant character. Inspired by Claude Lévi-Strauss's 1952 essay "Burned-out Santa Claus", Kazumasa's Nikkei subject position not only criticizes American capitalism but also Brazil's postcolonial mentality. Supporting the idea that Lévi-Strauss sympathizes with Jean-Jacques Rousseau's concept of innocence, the last part of the essay probes the idea of Kazumasa as an innocent subject who challenges the dichotomy between American capitalism and postcolonial Brazil.
