Menschliche Kulturen befinden sich in einem Prozess beständiger Umgestaltung und unterliegen mitunter radikalen Veränderungen. In diesem Band werden mit den Mitteln und Methoden der Geschichtsphilosophie, der Soziologie, der Handlungstheorie und der Kulturwissenschaften die grundlegenden Mechanismen und Logiken kultureller Transformationsprozesse herausgearbeitet. Ein interdisziplinäres Spektrum von Perspektiven - u.a. auf die philosophische Ästhetik, die politische Philosophie und die Wissenschaftsgeschichte - zeigt darüber hinaus die Verschiedenartigkeit des Wandels in unterschiedlichen Bere

A new paper was published in Science Advances today. Its title says what it is about: “Physics-based early warning signal shows that AMOC is on tipping course.” The study follows one by Danish colleagues which made headlines last July, likewise looking for early warning signals for approaching an AMOC tipping point (we discussed it here), […]
The post New study suggests the Atlantic overturning circulation AMOC "is on tipping course" first appeared on RealClimate.

It is 33 years now since the IPCC in its first report in 1990 concluded that it is "certain" that greenhouse gas emissions from human activities "will enhance the greenhouse effect, resulting on average in an additional warming of the Earth’s surface." That has indeed happened as predicted, it has been confirmed by a zillion […]
The post Science denial is still an issue ahead of COP28 first appeared on RealClimate.

A few weeks ago, a study by Copenhagen University researchers Peter and Susanne Ditlevsen concluded that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is likely to pass a tipping point already this century, most probably around mid-century. Given the catastrophic consequences of an AMOC breakdown, the study made quite a few headlines but also met some […]
The post The AMOC: tipping this century, or not? first appeared on RealClimate.

For various reasons I’m motivated to provide an update on my current thinking regarding the slowdown and tipping point of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). I attended a two-day AMOC session at the IUGG Conference the week before last, there’s been interesting new papers, and in the light of that I have been changing […]

AbstractOne of the main discoveries of generative syntax is that long‐distance extraction proceeds in a successive‐cyclic manner, in that these dependencies are comprised of a sequence of local extraction steps. This article provides support for this general picture by presenting novel parsing evidence for intermediate landing sites created by successive‐cyclic movement, and it uses this parsing evidence to investigate the distribution of intermediate gaps. The central findings of this article are that (i) there is evidence that successive‐cyclic movement targets the edge of CPs and that (ii) there is no comparable evidence for an intermediate landing site at vP edges. These findings are fully consistent with the classical view of successive cyclicity, according to which only finite‐clause edges host intermediate landing sites. In the context of phase theory, these results receive a straightforward explanation if CPs are phases but vPs are not. The processing evidence presented here thus provides a novel diagnostic for the distribution of phases and new evidence for their active role in online sentence processing.

The chapters in this volume explore how various methods from game theory can be utilized to optimize security and risk-management strategies. Emphasizing the importance of connecting theory and practice, they detail the steps involved in selecting, adapting, and analyzing game-theoretic models in security engineering and provide case studies of successful implementations in different application domains. Practitioners who are not experts in game theory and are uncertain about incorporating it into their work will benefit from this resource, as well as researchers in applied mathematics and computer science interested in current developments and future directions. The first part of the book presents the theoretical basics, covering various different game-theoretic models related to and suitable for security engineering. The second part then shows how these models are adopted, implemented, and analyzed. Surveillance systems, interconnected networks, and power grids are among the different application areas discussed. Finally, in the third part, case studies from business and industry of successful applications of game-theoretic models are presented, and the range of applications discussed is expanded to include such areas as cloud computing, Internet of Things, and water utility networks.--

Jüdische Gemeinden in Europa pflegten bereits seit dem Mittelalter den Brauch, Regelwerke zu schaffen, die die Grundrichtlinien für das gewollte Verhalten innerhalb der meist autonomen Gemeinschaften zusammenfassten, aber auch nicht selten Bezug auf die Kontakte zur nichtjüdischen Umwelt schafften. Diese Statuten wurden in Hebräisch mit dem Begriff »Takkanot« bezeichnet, der in seiner Grundbedeutung so viel wie »Vervollkommnung« bedeutet. In den autonomen jüdischen Gemeinden wurden diese Gesetzeskompilationen seit dem Mittelalter nicht mehr ausschließlich von religionsgesetzlichen Autoritäten
