Abstract:
The idea of U.S. democracy rests on the assumption that all citizens will see their issues and needs reflected in elected officials. Yet, historically this has not been the case, as racialized minorities have been excluded and systematically marginalized from the representative process. Today, nonwhite populations remain significantly underrepresented in federal and state governments. Although scholars have examined the effects and mechanics of ethnoracial political representation, less is known about how individuals from minoritized populations perceive and make sense of political (under)repr

This research aims to analyze conflict management in Papua through a representative bureaucracy theory approach which prioritizes descriptive and substantive representation in managing social and political diversity. The prolonged conflict in Papua which is rooted in social injustice, discrimination and marginalization has encouraged feelings of marginalization and demands for independence.

Abstract:
This study investigates the relationship between government fines and neighborhood composition using data on parking citations in Los Angeles. Parking ticket fines have received significant attention in public debates concerning bias in government and law enforcement practices. In these debates, community advocates claim that parking citations are spatially concentrated in neighborhoods of predominantly economically vulnerable populations. Using parking ticket data in 2016 from the City of Los Angeles, this study shows that the number of parking tickets is higher in neighborhoods with a larger

While steps are taken to increase women’s representation in politics, it can often prove difficult to change patterns of recruitment and nomination to political positions. This article argues that not only formal regulation, but also informal institutions, like local norms, beliefs and values, history and traditional codes of conduct matter and should be taken into account in plans to achieve balanced gender representation. The article compares recruitment policies in rural municipalities in Norway. Case studies were conducted to identify factors affecting women’s willingness to stand as candi

This paper argues that the 'deliberative turn' in democracy studies could undermine the very institution that it seeks to enhance. The model of democratic representation proposed in this paper is (paradoxically) derived from JeanJacques Rousseau. Rousseau is best known for his contempt for political representation, arguing instead that popular sovereignty cannot be delegated to representatives without compromising the moral equality of all citizens required by the social contract. This obliged him to propose a system of direct popular sovereignty that was ideally suited for small political com

SummarySince the early nineteenth century political opposition became a central concept of political representation in constitutional monarchies. While this concept marked the political language of unified Italy on the national level, in local administration the legitimacy of political opposition remained an issue of dispute, as illustrated in this analysis of the political language in Bologna's local council. Local perceptions of national events, like the government's reaction to Garibaldi's unsuccessful Mentana-campaign, assumed major symbolic meaning in local politics and challenged traditi

On the basis of case studies of 19th and early 20th century Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands, I address the question of how and when incumbent right elites reformed electoral systems under a rising political threat from the left.

One important factor was the existing electoral system before the adoption of PR. This has been missed in academic research since most scholars have assumed that the electoral system in place before the adoption of PR in most Western Europ

Abstract:
A national safety incentive policy is a mix of policy instruments and strategies outlining the rules, templates, and standard procedures for designing and implementing safety incentives within a country. Through a Delphi study, this study assesses critical factors affecting the development of a national safety incentives policy for the construction industry in developing countries using Nigeria as a case study. A qualitative technique was adopted using the Delphi technique to select a representative sample of expert panellists for the study. The Delphi findings indicate fifteen (15) identified

Abstract:
The so-called “New Space era” has been marked by a disruptive change in the business models, manufacturing technologies and agile practices of launch vehicle companies, aimed at minimising their production and operating costs in an ever more competitive market. Yet, only limited consideration has been given to the benefits that innovation in the field of control theory can bring, not only in terms of increasing the limits of performance, but also reducing mission preparation (“missionisation”) efforts. Also on government-led developments, recent launchers such as Ares I and VEGA [R1] still use

Abstract:
Rapid and representative reconstruction of geometric shape models from surface measurements has applications in diverse arenas ranging from industrial product design to biomedical organ/tissue modeling. However, despite the large body of work, most shape models have had limited success in bridging the gap between reconstruction, recognition, and analysis due to conflicting requirements. On one hand, large numbers of shape parameters are necessary to obtain meaningful information from noisy sensor data. On the other hand, search and recognition techniques require shape parameterizations/abstrac

Abstract:
The importance of inclusivity in the design and implementation of online anonymous surveys is paramount to ensuring accurate, representative, and equitable data collection. As online surveys have become a primary tool for gathering information across various fields, including research, market analysis, and public opinion, it is critical that these surveys are accessible and inclusive to diverse populations. This paper explores the role of inclusivity in survey design, addressing issues such as language accessibility, demographic representation, and the mitigation of biases that may inadvertent

Abstract:
The history of architecture demonstrates that architectural education often reflects trends within the profession. While the presence of women in teaching and research has been widely studied, their representation in the syllabi of major graduate architecture courses remains largely overlooked. This paper addresses the prevalence of references to women in the architecture schools of five Southern European countries, chosen as representative of the region and its curriculum model. Recently, Silva (2024) highlighted a significant discrepancy in Portugal between the attention given to the biograp

Abstract The aim of this research is to analyze the flow generated by the interaction between a simplified linear blade cascade of an industrial aircraft engine demonstrator and an ingested vortex with the aerodynamic characteristics of a ground vortex in real conditions. Due to the lack of experimental and high-fidelity numerical studies in the literature, a representative academic case of this phenomenon with a high-fidelity resolution of turbulence is performed and taken as reference.

Abstract:
Women’s leadership is necessary for Cambodia’s sustained development. Their involvement in leadership roles in the public sphere and politics is crucial and has been shown to impact positively on poverty reduction. Governments, NGOs and international organisations have been increasingly aware that sustainable development is significantly linked to gender equality and women’s empowerment, key factors in ending extreme poverty. It is only logical then that Cambodia should pay greater attention to developing future generations of women for leadership, especially at the grassroots level. This stud

Abstract:
The Australian Child Maltreatment Study (ACMS) is a landmark study for our nation. The ACMS research team has generated the first nationally representative data on the prevalence of each of the five types of child maltreatment in Australia, and their associated health impacts through life. We also identified information about the context of maltreatment experiences, including how old children are when it occurs, and who inflicts it. This knowledge about which children are most at risk of which types of abuse and neglect, at which ages, and by whom, is needed to develop evidencebased population
