The Cycles of Constitutional Theory [PDF]
, 2004 Friedman presents information on the cyclical nature of constitutional theory. Because constitutional theory is a reaction to the current developments of constitutional law, it is interesting to view constitutional issues through the framework of ...

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Research highlights the long‐term collective effects of mass human rights violations (MHRVs) on survivors’ wellbeing. This multi‐method, multi‐context paper combines the social identity approach (SIA), transitional and social justice theories and human rights‐conceptualised wellbeing to propose a human rights understanding of trauma responses ...

Koers : Bulletin for Christian Scholarship, 2002 Huldrych Zwingli’s ground-breaking contribution to Reformational political theory has not been accorded the necessary exposure that it deserves. Zurich and Genevan Reformational thought during the fifteenth century owed much of its political insight to ...

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the context of Europeanisation and neo‐corporatism, we examine the lengthy process of revising the Nondiscrimination Act in Finland, spanning from 2007 to 2023. The focus is on the mandate of the Nondiscrimination Ombudsman in the workplace and on explaining the sudden policy change of strengthening it after a prolonged standstill.

Dense granular flows: two-particle argument accounts for friction-like constitutive law with threshold [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 A scalar constitutive law is obtained for dense granular flows, both in the inertial regime where the grain inertia dominates, and in the viscous regime. Considering a pair of grains rather than a single grain, the classical arguments yield a constitutive law that exhibits a flow threshold expressed as a finite effective friction at flow onset.

Multi-Constitutive Neural Network for Large Deformation Poromechanics Problem [PDF]
Machine Learning and the Physical Sciences workshop, NeurIPS
(2020) 96, 2020 In this paper, we study the problem of large-strain consolidation in poromechanics with deep neural networks (DNN). Given different material properties and different loading conditions, the goal is to predict pore pressure and settlement. We propose a novel method "multi-constitutive neural network" (MCNN) such that one model can solve several ...

The Role of Second Law of Thermodynamics in Continuum Physics: A Muschik and Ehrentraut Theorem Revisited [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Second law of thermodynamics imposes that in any thermodynamic process the entropy production must be nonnegative. In continuum physics such a requirement is fulfilled by postulating the constitutive equations which represent the material properties of the bodies in such a way that second law of thermodynamics is satisfied in arbitrary processes.

Effects of the Deployment and Departure of UN Peacekeeping Operations on Foreign Direct Investment
Journal of International Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Do United Nations peacekeeping operations (UNPKOs) foster foreign direct investment (FDI) in host countries over time? I argue that the deployment of UNPKOs increases FDI by signaling credibility in peace and the rule of law. However, once peacekeepers depart, uncertainty regarding political stability, due to premature withdrawal and ...

Estimation of Nonlinear Three-dimensional Constitutive Law for DNA Molecules [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 Long length-scale structural deformations of DNA play a central role in many biological processes including gene expression. The elastic rod model, which uses a continuum approximation, has emerged as a viable tool to model deformations of DNA molecules.
