Get PDFLawfare 101: A Primer
Get PDFDunlap discusses the concept of lawfareâusing law as a form of asymmetrical warfareâand provides some considerations for how to combat this phenomenon. The article establishes the intellectual framework and thematic direction for this Issue of Military Review
Helium nanodroplets and trapped Bose-Einstein condensates as prototypes of finite quantum fluids
Full text linkHelium nanodroplets and trapped Bose-Einstein condensates in dilute atomic
gases offer complementary views of fundamental aspects of quantum many-body
systems. We discuss analogies and differences, stressing their common
theoretical background and peculiar features. We briefly review some relevant
concepts, such as the meaning of superfluidity in finite systems, the behavior
of elementary excitations and collective modes, as well as rotational
properties and quantized vorticity.Comment: 15 pages, 1 eps figure, review article for J. Chem. Phys., thematic

Exploring Maintainability Assurance Research for Service- and Microservice-Based Systems: Directions and Differences
Get PDFTo ensure sustainable software maintenance and evolution, a diverse set of activities and concepts like metrics, change impact analysis, or antipattern detection can be used. Special maintainability assurance techniques have been proposed for service- and microservice-based systems, but it is difficult to get a comprehensive overview of this publication landscape. We therefore conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to collect and categorize maintainability assurance approaches for service-oriented architecture (SOA) and microservices. Our search strategy led to the selection of 223 primary studies from 2007 to 2018 which we categorized with a threefold taxonomy: a) architectural (SOA, microservices, both), b) methodical (method or contribution of the study), and c) thematic (maintainability assurance subfield). We discuss the distribution among these categories and present different research directions as well as exemplary studies per thematic category. The primary finding of our SLR is that, while very few approaches have been suggested for microservices so far (24 of 223, ?11%), we identified several thematic categories where existing SOA techniques could be adapted for the maintainability assurance of microservices
The nature of friendship between students with and without severe disabilities
Full text linkFriendships are developmentally important and personally beneficial relationships for all children and youth. Despite emphasis from families and educators of students with severe disabilities on the importance of promoting and supporting friendships with their typically developing (TD) peers in inclusive settings, such relationships remain infrequent. We conducted an integrative thematic literature review of research that directly examined the nature of friendship between students with and without severe disabilities to better understand how researchers define friendship, identify participants, and confirm participantsâ friendships. Implications for future research are discussed. We also sought to identify themes in extant research to guide future intervention. The thematic findings point to the importance of adults providing direct support while fading their proximity to students, and of TD peers negotiating the ongoing tension between the roles of helper and friend.Accepted manuscrip
A feminist political economy analysis of public policies related to care: a thematic review
Get PDFUnpaid care work is directly linked to the economic empowerment of women and girls. There is a large and robust body of evidence about the extent of unpaid care work that women and girls do, and its contributions to both the economy and human development outcomes. But is this evidence being used to inform public policy?
Doing so would include recognising the role of women and girls in the provision of unpaid care; the need to reduce the drudgery of unpaid care; and the need to redistribute unpaid care work (from women to men, and from the family to communities and the state), thus laying the basis for true gender equality.
This review of secondary material aims to identify the political economy conditions of where, why, when and how unpaid care concerns become more visible on domestic policy agendas
