Mapping Patterns and Trends in Uncontested Elections Research (1965–2024)
Get PDFThis article explores patterns and trends in 111 prior studies regarding uncontested elections and their implications for the quality of democracy from 1965 to 2024 in the Scopus database. Since the first article was published in 1965, the topic has attracted noteworthy academic attention, especially in the last decade. Although the number of publications yearly fluctuates, scholarly interest remains consistent, with an average of 40.94 citations per document. Most research comes from the United States, but contributions from other countries such as Canada, Japan, and Germany are also remarkable. In sum, I provide a comprehensive insight into the development of uncontested elections, the significant contributions of various authors, and the thematic trends that have developed over time. 44 questions identified as future research directions open opportunities for further exploration to understand the factors supporting or hindering competitive elections

On the local spectral subspace preservers Youssef Bouramdane
Get PDFLet be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Banach space with . In this paper, we characterize the maps from into itself which preserves the dimension of the local spectral subspace relative to of the product of operators. The form of the maps from into itself preserving the local spectral subspace relative to of the product of operators are also described
Mitigazione ed adattamento delle città alle crisi ambientali tra approcci modellistici ed esperienze partecipative = Mitigation and adaptation of cities to environmental crises between modeling approaches and participatory experiences
No full textThis contribution critically explores the concept of Urbanocene as a lens to understand the relationship between urbanization and environmental crises, focusing on issues of environmental justice. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach-merging atmospheric modeling with participatory practices-it examines cities as both climate-vulnerable and major emitters. The essay investigates phenomena like air pollution, urban heat islands, and heat waves, emphasizing the need for systemic, context-aware responses. It critiques technocratic solutions and advocates for integrating social inclusion with environmental quality. The goal is to reshape urban policy through justice-driven, co-created strategies for climate sustainability
Translating the universe of Harry Potter into a pluricentric language. How culture influences the translator’s choices
Get PDFPortuguese is the official language in seven countries and is co-official in three more territories. It is also a pluricentric language, given that it has two distinctly codified norms, i.e., two standard varieties – the Brazilian one used in Brazil, and the European one used in the remaining territories. The first translation of the Harry Potter series into Portuguese was published in Portugal in 1999, followed by the translation published in Brazil in 2000. While the language is the same (albeit with two different standards), the choices made by the Portuguese and Brazilian translators differed much more than the grammatical and lexical differences that exist between the two varieties and characterise them as such. Resorting to a comparison of the translation of selected characters’ names and neologisms, this paper analyses the choices made by the Portuguese translators (initially one, but ultimately a team that included, at different moments, six translators) and the Brazilian translator (only one and always the same for the seven volumes). The different choices point to two very different translation projects that were grounded on cultural assumptions about the series’ readership – since the translation project was defined for the first book, clearly a children’s fantasy book, the target-audience was composed of children aged 9-12. Children that age in Brazil are not as familiar with English as Portuguese children, which justifies, to a great extent, the domesticating translation published in Brazil as opposed to the foreignizing one published in Portugal
