  • Summary

    Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope and their circle produced a series of satires in a distinctive mock-didactic mode, the mock art. Originally Swift used it to attack a ‘mechanical’ dissenting clergy. Later he adapted it to larger issues concerning the fragmentation and uncontrolled accumulation of knowledge in the modern age. John Gay broadened the theme by exploring its cognitive dimensions. It was in political polemic, however, that mock-technical satire achieved its widest circulation, as a critical trope against state-craftsmen and artificial politicians. Finally, in Peri Bathous Pope and John Arbuthnot imagined a wholly artificial poetic art. Their critical thought-experiment ends this line of development in the mock-art idea. With each successive iteration, its basis in the social denigration of skilled workers receded, and the satire became more ambivalent. Pope, at first the most abusive of the denigrators, at last produced the most balanced and experimental of all the Scriblerian mock arts.

  • Electroencephalogram activity related to psychopathological and neuropsychological symptoms in institutionalised minors: a systematic review

  • Objective:

    This systematic review aims to update the current evidence on the effects of institutionalisation in minors living in residential care homes, specifically focusing on alterations in neuronal systems and their association with psychopathological and neuropsychological outcomes.

    Methods:

    Searches were conducted in the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases, following PRISMA methodology for peer-reviewed empirical articles. The final selection comprised 10 studies that met the inclusion criteria: (1) published articles with quantitative data, (2) aimed at observing the relationship between psychological and neuropsychological symptoms and the electroencephalogram (EEG) activity in institutionalised children, (3) published between 2016 and 2023, and (4) examining institutionalised minors in residential care homes.

    Results:

    The articles show that these children exhibit general immaturity in EEG patterns, with a predominance of slow waves (primarily in the theta band). They also demonstrate poorer performance in executive functions (e.g. working memory, inhibition, and processing speed) and cognitive processes, along with a higher risk of externalising problems. However, current evidence does not allow definitive conclusions on whether early EEG abnormalities predict long-term neuropsychological deficits, despite data showing associations between EEG changes and certain cognitive dysfunctions at the time of evaluation.

    Conclusion:

    The reviewed evidence suggests that EEG alterations in institutionalised minors are linked to executive dysfunction and increased psychopathological risk. These findings highlight the value of EEG in identifying at-risk children and inform the design of preventive interventions. Longitudinal studies are needed to clarify causal relationships.

  • Stagnated, on the Verge of Breakthrough, or Both? The State of Big Theories of Legal Phenomena

  • Ashley T. Rubin, Alena K. Shalaby
  • Journal:
    Law & Social Inquiry , First View
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    08 May 2025, pp. 1-32

  • Socio-legal studies has grown rapidly over the last six decades. As the field has expanded, however, it seems the pace of field-defining research (most notably, high-quality theoretical work, especially with aspirations toward grand or general theorizing) has waned, and a regime of normal science currently dominates. For some scholars, this state of affairs gives the impression of treading water, an incoherent field, or even theoretical stagnation. Using the subfield of punishment and society as a case study, we argue that the field suffers from a kind of stalled academic dialecticism. We argue that various factors have worked together to impede a standard dialectical process of theoretical growth by dissuading scholars from moving onto a new stage of innovative research and incentivizing them to continue to pursue smaller-scale, less innovative studies. However, precisely because the field has a rich, diverse array of scholarship available to glean, synthesize, and use to make next-generation insights, the field is poised for breakthrough research—particularly, generalizable theories of legal phenomena—if only scholars are willing to pursue them.

  • 33 - Nontrivial topologies: gravitational instantons, Taub–NUT, KK monopole, and Gödel spacetimes

  • Horatiu Nastase, Universidade Estadual Paulista, São Paulo
  • Book:
    General Relativity
    Published online:

    08 May 2025, pp 362-374

  • Summary

    We describe nontrivial topologies. First, we describe the Taub–NUT solutions. Then the Taub–NUT of Hawking and the Taub solution, as gravitational instantons. Then the Eguchi–Hanson metric, obtained from a Yang–Mills like instanton ansatz. Then the Gibbons–Hawking multi-instanton. The KK monopole is shown to be an example of application of the Taub–NUT instanton. Finally, we describe the Gödel Universe, a rotating solution with closed timelike curves (CTCs), even though the source is standard, just dust matter and cosmological constant.

  • 5 - Remarks on Law

  • from Part I - The Individual in the Law of the International Court of Justice

  • Summary

    This brief chapter, closing Part I, concludes that the individual is procedurally involved in such contexts to a minor extent and offers reflections on the reasons for this. It discusses the culture of state-centrism at the Court, its passive approach to procedural mechanisms, and certain fears it likely has. The reasons are challenged in this chapter, which ends with a brief word on how transparency practices can also contribute to the further integration of individuals in the procedural law of the World Court.
