Political parties mostly ignore existing economic inequality, large-scale analysis finds
Growing dissatisfaction among the population, loss of trust in politics, increase in crime and violence: Economic inequality leads to a variety of social consequences. Nevertheless, the issue plays a much smaller role in the election manifestos of political parties both in Germany and in other countries than researchers had previously assumed. These are the results of a current study by the Cluster of Excellence The Politics of Inequality at the University of Konstanz, recently published in the…

Madagascar : désobéissance, fermeture de l’aéroport et soutien aux manifestants, l’appel des militaires du CAPSAT qui pourrait tout faire basculer

Neo-Nazis have never been particularly good at reading the medieval sources they are so drawn towards.
They find what they want to find in Norse myth
–- violence, ruthlessness, an existential war that will lead to the rebirth of a new world
-– and they read no deeper

Far-right extremists keep co-opting Norse symbolism – here’s why
Norse symbols and references to Valhalla repeatedly show up the manifestos of far right terrorists. An expert explains why.

Trigonometric Selector Kernels, Duality, and Odd Zeta Values
In this short note, we develop trigonometric selector kernels to represent odd zeta values via dual hyperbolic counterparts. This framework highlights a Fourier-Poisson duality, incorporating finite-part integrals in the sense of Hadamard-Galapon. In particular, we show how such kernels naturally recover Euler-Maclaurin and Poisson summation formulas as dual manifestations. We further connect our kernel approach with the finite-part integral formulation, extending earlier Cvijović-Klinowski ty…

But I've also been waiting for *years* (`prefers-color-scheme` was introduced in 2019), for:

Immersive Invaders: Privacy Threats from Deceptive Design in Virtual Reality Games and Applications
Virtual Reality (VR) technologies offer immersive experiences but collect substantial user data. While deceptive design is well-studied in 2D platforms, little is known about its manifestation in VR environments and its impact on user privacy. This research investigates deceptive designs in privacy communication and interaction mechanisms of 12 top-rated VR games and applications through autoethnographic evaluation of the applications and thematic analysis of privacy policies. We found that whi…

An updated catalog of HIRES/Keck radial velocity measurements. Including Ca II H&K measurements
The first HIRES/Keck precision radial velocity (RV) catalog was released in 2017; it was followed by a second release in 2019, which incorporated corrections for small but significant systematic errors. The manifestation of stellar activity accompanied by systematic errors could affect the detection of exoplanets via the RV method. We expanded the HIRES catalog to March 2023 using publicly available spectra. Furthermore, we included the chromospheric emission line Ca II H&K indicator ($R_{\math…

Breaking the Sabatier Principle by Dynamic Adsorption-Desorption Decoupling in Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution
The Sabatier principle establishes a fundamental trade-off in heterogeneous electrocatalysis.In the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), this trade-off is manifested by the coupling of Volmer step, which requires strong hydrogen adsorption, with the Heyrovsky/Tafel step, which favors facile desorption, thus giving rise to the classical volcano relationship and limiting activity even at $ΔG=0$. Here, we demonstrate a ferroelectric platform with dynamic tunability -- monolayer GeS$_2$ decorated wi…
