INTERMEDIATE MODELS AND KINNA–WAGNER PRINCIPLES
No full textKinna–Wagner Principles state that every set can be mapped into
some fixed iterated power set of an ordinal, and we write KWP to denote that
there is some α for which this holds. The Kinna–Wagner Conjecture, formulated by the first author [Bull. Symb. Log., arXiv:2006.04514], states that if
V is a model of ZF + KWP and G is a V -generic filter, then whenever W is an
intermediate model of ZF, that is V ⊆ W ⊆ V [G], then W = V (x) for some x
if and only if W satisfies KWP. In this work we prove the conjecture and generalise it even further. We include a brief historical overview of Kinna–Wagner

George Woodcock: the ghostwriter of anarchism
No full textIn ordinary language, a ghost writer is someone who stands behind or writes on
behalf of a named author. In dubbing George Woodcock the ghost writer of anarchism
we instead want to suggest that Woodcock identifi ed anarchism’s ‘essence’ or,
as Stirner has it, ‘the spirit that walks in everything’.2 Aft er considering the evolution
of Anarchism in the context of Woodcock’s political activism we discuss Woodcock’s
contribution to the construction of the anarchist canon and his treatment of anarchism’s
‘essence’
William Godwin
No full textGodwin was an eighteenth-century radical writer and journalist and one of the leading participants in the debates sparked by the French Revolution. An ally of Tom Paine, he was also a critic of Edmund Burke, the Whig-cum-conservative author of Reflections on the Revolution in France. Godwin shared Burke’s abhorrence of The Terror but wholly rejected his glowing defence of aristocracy. At first enthusiastic about the Revolution, Godwin made two lasting interventions into revolutionary debates, the theoretical treatise Political Justice and the novel Caleb Williams.....

APPROACHING A BRISTOL MODEL
No full textThe Bristol model is an inner model of L[c], where c is a Cohen real, which is not constructible from a set. The idea was developed in 2011 in a workshop taking place in Bristol, but was only written in detail by the author in [8]. This article is a guide for those who want to get a broader view of the construction. We try to provide more intuition that might serve as a jumping board for those interested in this construction and in odd models of ZF. We also correct a few minor issues in the original paper, as well as prove new results. For example, the Boolean Prime Ideal theorem fails in the Bristol model, as some sets cannot be linearly ordered, and the ground model is always definable in its Bristol extensions. In addition to this we include a discussion on Kinna–Wagner Principles, which we think may play an important role in understanding the generic multiverse in ZF

College persistence, resiliency, and factors contributing to the Latina collegian experience
No full textDisparities persist among college attendance and conferred degrees for Latinas in the United States. College enrollment is on the rise for Latinas; however, completion rates remain disproportionately lower. If educational outcomes are to improve for the Latinx community, the number of support systems for this population must increase at the university levels from a strength-based approach.
The purpose of this study was to examine factors associated with college persistence and resilience at four-year institutions among Latinas. This is a cross-sectional study of factors associated with college persistence and the resilience of Latina undergraduate students at four-year institutions. The study sampled and compared levels of resilience among Latinas enrolled in their third and fourth year of college versus those who dropped out in their first or second year. This study analyzed the online survey responses of 308 Latina females that enrolled in college during the fall of 2014.
Results from the bivariate and multivariate analysis indicated that college persistence was higher among younger students (18-21 years old), bilingual students, single students, those who had awards/scholarships, and those who belonged to a student and/or community organizations. The study findings for resilience indicated that belonging to student organizations and father’s education were significant individual predictors for Latinas. The significant sociocultural variables included sense of belonging, acculturation—mainstream culture subscale, and acculturation-heritage culture subscale. Having high levels of resilience was statistically associated with the university environment. It is recommended that higher learning institutions develop culturally appropriate supportive interventions to increase Latina graduation rates. Further research is needed to examine how hiring more Latinx professors to mirror the student population can improve the campus environment.

Remote participation at EFDA-JET Task Force work Experience and priorities from a user's point of view
No full textThe Joint European Torus (JET) fusion experiment is now operated with strong involvement of physicists from many re- search laboratories in and outside Europe. This paper describes needs for remote participation in JET physics experiments and summarises user's experience with the tools made available for remote collaborative work: remote computer and data access, remote meetings, shared documentation and various other communication channels. Implications for further development of remote participation infrastructure for work at JET and in an integrated European research program are discussed.

Multifunctional
No full textThe New Product Development (NPD) process in manufacturing industry, together with the application of multi functional teams in the process, has been well studied in the extant literature. Tools, and techniques used to assist project teams in NPD have also been investigated in detail. However, many of the claims of the effectiveness of 'tools’ such as Rapid Prototyping (RP) and techniques such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) are anecdotal in nature, lacking empirical evidence, or promoted by authors with a commercial interest in the subject. Therefore, as part of the objectives of this research to provide more empirical data, case studies were conducted over a period of 12 years in companies such as Flymo, Kenwood, and Domnick Hunter. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were selected for the case studies to provide a rich source of quantitative and qualitative data from which some of the root causes of NPD problems were identified. A common NPD problem identified was project delays, following late changes to the specification and the product engineering. It was clear however, that not all of the changes had a negative impact on a project, indeed some teamwork studies encourage changes to improve the product value and quality. A 'penalty weighting' model to quantify the 'impact' of changes with respect to any benefits was developed to identify the most cost effective period for teamwork studies and provide an efficiency profile for each project. A strategic business approach for Rapid Prototyping activities was also presented together with a 'sub-group' methodology to encourage innovation and reduce 'front end' delays. Appropriate project management control documentation was developed for the NPD teams to support the control of various KPIs including product deliverables, product costs, capital spends and launch timing
