Film and cinema as a subject of sociological study. Between tradition and the present
Acta Universitatis Lodziensis: Folia Sociologica, 2020 Relations between sociology and cinema span over a hundred years. The author’s task is to reflect on this fact and, as a result, to present her own theoretical and methodological concept.

Radiative Thermal Management for Extreme Environments: Mechanisms and Design Strategies
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss the fundamental mechanisms of radiative cooling and solar heating, material and structural design strategies, hybrid approaches integrating additional heat transfer pathways, and durability‐oriented designs addressing environmental stresses.

Wisconsin Institutionalism, Public Persuasion, and Public Science
Œconomia, 2019 This paper makes use of the wealth of materials left by Wisconsin institutionalists to consider how they thought about economics as public science and as public persuasion.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A constraint‐based analytical framework maps the coupled effects of material properties, structural parameters, and operating conditions in tubular dielectric elastomer pumps for extracorporeal circulatory applications. The approach defines performance boundaries through mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic constraints and identifies feasible design ...

The Problem of Unobservable A Defense of Van Fraassenâs Distinction between Observable and Unobservable [PDF]
Metaphysics, 2015 In constructive empiricism Van Fraassen intends to defend the epistemological distinction between truth and empirical adequacy as well as between cognitive belief and pragmatic acceptance, based on epistemological distinction between observable entities ...

Muller's Critique of the Argument for Aim-Oriented Empiricism [PDF]
, 2009 For over thirty years I have argued that we need to construe science as accepting a metaphysical proposition concerning the comprehensibility of the universe.

The Interplay of Curvature, Geometry, and Topology Shapes Tissue Organisation in Epithelial Shells
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Purely geometric 3D Voronoi models predict the organisation of epithelial shells. The interplay of curvature, geometry, and topology enriches the number of pentagons in shells with lower number of cells. Small MDCK cysts and Mouse embryos match the top polygonal configurations in a compactness‐based ranking derived from the Voronoi model. In conclusion,
