Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Philosophers often think agency is essentially connected with rationality, intention, or control. However, Minimalists argue that agency is just the power to cause a change; acids and boulders are agents too. Many philosophers treat Minimalism as a wild outlier, assuming its falsity without argument.

Several series expansions for real powers and several formulas for partial Bell polynomials of sinc and sinhc functions in terms of central factorial and Stirling numbers of second kind

, 2022
In the paper, with the aid of the Fa\`a di Bruno formula, in terms of central factorial numbers of the second kind, and with the terminology of the Stirling numbers of the second kind, the authors derive several series expansions for any positive integer

Some Theorems on Tauber's Generalized Stirling, Lah and Bell Numbers

European Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics, 2019
In this paper, some properties for Tauber's generalized Stirling and Lah numbers are obtained including other forms of recurrence relations, orthogonality and inverse relations, rational generating function and explicit formual in symmetric function form. Moreover, a new explicit formula is derived, which is analogous to the Qi formula.

Deteriorating Mental Well‐Being of the Young in the UK

Scottish Journal of Political Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using several data sets for the UK we track rising perceptions of mental well‐being among the working‐age population in the UK. The trend is apparent among all age groups and for men and women, but it is most pronounced among the young, and especially young women aged under 25.

Eligible but Not Entitled: The Distinctiveness of Non‐Entitlement Policy Designs at the Frontline

Social Policy &Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the distinctive dynamics of entitlement versus non‐entitlement social programmes, focusing on how this distinction influences frontline workers' management of access to social provisions. While much of the existing literature emphasises the macro‐level impacts of these alternative policy designs, this study focuses on their

Stirling numbers and the operator

, 2020
El presente trabajo abarca los números de Stirling y su aparición en los polinomios exponenciales, también conocidos como polinomios de Bell. Dichos números fueron introducidos por el Matemático escocés James Stirling en el siglo XVIII, y presentan un ...

New type degenerate Stirling numbers and Bell polynomials

Notes on Number Theory and Discrete Mathematics, 2022
In this paper, we introduce a new type degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind and their degenerate Bell polynomials, which is different from degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind studied so far. We investigate the explicit formula, recurrence relation and Dobinski-like formula of a new type degenerate Stirling numbers of the second ...
