Context Matters: Variation in the Shortsightedness of European Climate Policy

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, Volume 63, Issue 3, Page 726-744, May 2025.
Abstract When governments are faced with long‐term issues like climate change, it is often argued that they bias the short term over the long term, leading to inadequate policy responses. However, the shortsightedness of European Union (EU) climate governance has varied over time and between policy areas.

Stretchable electronic platform for soft and smart contact lens applications [PDF]

, 2017
A stretchable platform with spherical-shaped electronics based on thermo- plastic polyurethane (TPU) is introduced for soft smart contact lenses. The low glass transition temperature of TPU, its relatively low hardness, and its proven biocompatibility (

Have Autocrats Governed for the Long Term?

Kyklos, Volume 78, Issue 2, Page 440-465, May 2025.
ABSTRACT The short answer is: probably not. We infer the priorities of national governments from observed outcomes, constructing a statistical proxy for long‐term benevolence. Using data between 1960 and 2019 for more than 100 countries, we show that, on average, democracies score more highly on our measure.

Dysfunctional Changes in the Lens in Real Clinical Practice

Oftalʹmologiâ
Introduction. Presbyopia is a global problem affecting more than 1.5 billion people worldwide. Projections indicate an increase in the average age of the population to 40 years by 2050, which is associated with an increase in the presbyopia incidence and

Framing Effects in Intertemporal Choices: 3 Two‐Step Experiments

Kyklos, Volume 78, Issue 2, Page 384-398, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Framings may affect individuals' choices. In particular, the perception of (implicit) risks and their costs may influence intertemporal choices. In a between‐subjects experimental design, participants are presented choices either in a standard (i.e., current vs.

Static aspects of accommodation: age and presbyopia [PDF]

, 1998
Although the progressive reduction in accommodative amplitude with increased age is well documented, little is known about several other aspects of static or steady-state accommodation to provide a comprehensive assessment of changes related to age and ...

Oblique effects with multisegment spectacle lenses: 1. Images of a point object

Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 779-789, May 2025.
Abstract Introduction Multisegment (MS) spectacles are intended to slow myopia progression by modifying images falling on the peripheral retina. Some published optical treatments of these lenses assume normal incidence of light at the surfaces, but images falling on the peripheral retina are usually associated with oblique ray pencils.

The influence of near point of convergence training on the accommodative facility [PDF]

, 2017
El propòsit d’aquest estudi pilot era determinar si entrenant el punt pròxim de convergència utilitzant el mètode del push-up durant 3 minuts, la flexibilitat acomodativa millorava per la seva relació d’associació.
