NPF signaling-dependent maintenance of metabolic homeostasis in the pea aphid is mediated by a highly selective ligand-receptor interaction and tissue-specific changes in NPF and NPFR

Heliyon
Neuropeptide F (NPF) and its receptor (NPFR) are important regulators of food intake, physiology and metabolism in insects. Focusing on a major crop pest, the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum, it is shown that the predicted NPFR is a highly selective NPF ...

Unusual bound states of quark matter within the NJL model [PDF]

, 2005
Properties of dense quark matter in and out of chemical equilibrium are studied within the SU(3) Nambu Jona-Lasinio model. In addition to the 4 fermion scalar and vector terms the model includes also the 6 fermion flavour mixing interaction.

Narrative power in the narrative policy framework

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The Narrative Policy Framework lacks clear and empirical explanations of power. Yet, the study of narratives is inherently the study of power in shaping policy outputs and decisions. We develop a conceptual model positing that expressions of power (power to, with, and over) may be discovered in narrative constructs (e.g., narrative structure ...

Method for High Accuracy Multiplicity Correlation Measurements

, 2014
Multiplicity correlation measurements provide insight into the dynamics of high energy collisions. Models describing these collisions need these correlation measurements to tune the strengths of the underlying QCD processes which influence all ...

Moralization in Policy Narratives: Insights From the Politics of Climate Change and Public Health

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we examine the process of moralization—defined as the use of moral values to mobilize support for or against policy proposals. Specifically, we investigate how political parties strategically employ moralization to influence policy processes, varying their approach depending on their political ideology and institutional position.

Using Cultural Theory to Specify the Policy Actors, Belief Systems, and Sources of Coalition, Conflict, Stability, and Change in Policy Advocacy Coalitions and Environmental Resource Policies

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We use grid‐group cultural theory (CT) to specify underspecified aspects of the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF). Our theoretical synthesis of CT and the ACF provides, first, an exhaustive typology of policy actors and their cultural cognitive biases that entail, guide, and constrain policy core beliefs about problem definitions and ...

Policy Narratives and Empowerment: Implementation of the Swedish National Violence Prevention Program

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) begins to unpack issues of power and narratives, the main focus has been on power‐over and domination rather than more transformative notions of power‐to and empowerment. This article draws on insights from gender and policy studies and suggests that the NPF benefits from adopting a multifaceted notion ...

Implementation Punctuation: The Role of Feedback, Narratives, and Implementation in the Punctuated Equilibrium Theory

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Based on the Punctuated Equilibrium Theory (PET) and implementation research, this study proposes an extended conceptualization of policy punctuation that enables researchers to systematically include policy implementation as part of a punctuation. The key mechanisms underlying the PET, i.e., policy image and venue, information processing, and

Focusing Events, Agenda Setting, and Narrative Numbing

Review of Policy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Focusing events are important in understanding policy change, as demonstrated in Birkland's work on agenda setting, the multiple streams framework, and the narrative policy framework. These frameworks emphasize the role of focusing events in drawing public attention to broader issues.
