Young Cosmopolitans: values, identity, and the youth vote in the EU referendum
No full textThe Brexit referendum exposed strong intergenerational divisions. With Britain’s young people having overwhelmingly voted in favour of remaining in the European Union, Rakib Ehsan explores the driving factors behind this support
ROKAT BELIUNEH: ANTARA BUDAYA DAN SYARIAT ISLAM (Studi Analisis Budaya di Desa Ganding Sumenep Madura)
No full textThe law does not come in a social vacuum, in fact the law comes when there is social activity. Consequently, every social treatment definitely requires certain laws and rules. Meanwhile, religion exists because it functions as a guide to good and values and keeps away from substantial evil. Therefore, every culture is believed to allow for two opposite things, namely wrong culture and religiously right culture.In considering the Al-Quran and Hadith of the Prophet, Muslims believe that the death of a person is an event that can cut off his good deeds (including bad deeds) except through three things, so that every time someone dies in the village of Ganding there is a habit of praying and giving alms for his family. died with the aim of alleviating the burden of the sins of the deceased and providing good benefits through the Rokat Beliuneh ritual.However, Beliuneh's rokat culture does not have clear adequate references and arguments in both the Koran and the hadits of the Prophet and even the opinions of the scholars, from this it requires proper thinking to combine cultural reality and the substance of religious values if it does not have fatal consequences in the realm of I'tiqadyKeywords : Beliuneh's Rokat, Culture, Islamic La
The Hillary coalition that never was
No full textRecent commentary on the presidential election has sought to pinpoint where Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton lost to Republican President-elect Donald Trump. Royal Holloway Doctoral Researcher Rakib Ehsan identifies three key reasons behind the election result: anti-establishment sentiment driving Trump’s vote in traditional Democratic Party strongholds, an Obama-Clinton “enthusiasm gap” among African-Americans, and a better-than-expected Republican showing among Hispanic voters who were treated by many actors as a monolithic bloc
An efficient computational framework for prediction of corrugation in twisted bilayer graphene
No full text"The discovery of unconventional superconductivity at a specific ""magic"" angle in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) has stirred a lot of interest in the scientific community. When two graphene layers are placed on top of each other with a twist, a moir\'e pattern emerges. By controlling the period of the moir\'e in twisted bilayer graphene, we can tune the properties of TBG. Specifically, long periods of moir\'e in bilayer graphene have shown remarkable electronic properties. However, materials with large moir\'e periods are often difficult to study because of the expensive computational framework of electronic structure. Therefore, we develop a simple computational framework that can predict the corrugated structure of TBG of large periods in a computationally tractable way. From our density functional theory (DFT) simulations, we find that the structure of TBG becomes corrugated upon relaxation due to the change of interlayer distances in different stacking regions. The corrugation increases with decreasing twist angle in the TBG. Moreover, we also find that the AA region in the TBG shrinks and the AB region becomes larger at low twist angles (less than 1.5). Our framework is able to capture this phenomenon of shrinking of the AA region and map the corrugation for low twist angles with precision. With our framework, it would be possible to map the atomic coordinates of the corrugated structure of TBG which can help us to study different properties of low twist angle TBG more accurately. In this way, this framework may open the door to more tunable exotic properties in twisted bilayer graphene."Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.

What the Democrats can (and must) learn from their unexpected defeat
No full textIt is an understatement to state that Donald Trump’s victory took Democrats and many commentators by surprise. Rakib Ehsan takes a close look at just how Hillary Clinton lost the election, from Trump’s dominance among white voters, to his higher than expected support among Hispanics, and the enthusiasm gap between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. In order to regain the White House, he writes, Democrats will have to create a more sophisticated on-the-ground electoral strategy across all states and work better within the mechanics of the Electoral College system
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
