Espaço vivido e espaço mental: Dalton Trevisan e a dicotomia social do urbanismo curitibano by Nelson H. Vieira

“…By contrasting the many praises that Curitiba has received as a “green city” with tragic-comic and ominous scenarios played out in Trevisan’s narratives, this study points to the socio-historic vestiges of its past as a colonial city and how that social experience still marks local behavior. Besides illustrating how Trevisan’s short stories tend toward the universal, due to their highly conscious dialog with the reader and in spite of its regional focus, we underscore how the contradiction between the sardonic and the affective uncovers the sentimental yet disturbing side of this Human Comedy. …”

Cryptographic Censorship by Netta Engelhardt, Åsmund Folkestad, Adam Levine, Evita Verheijden, Lisa Yang

“…To apply this result to cosmic censorship, we separate singularities into classical, semi-Planckian, and Planckian types. We illustrate that classical and semi-Planckian singularities are compatible with approximately pseudorandom CFT time evolution; thus, if such singularities are indeed approximately pseudorandom, by Cryptographic Censorship, they cannot exist in the absence of event horizons. …”

An Exponentially Converging Particle Method for the Mixed Nash Equilibrium of Continuous Games by Wang, Guillaume, Chizat, Lénaïc

“…It can be interpreted as an implicit time discretization of the “interacting” Wasserstein–Fisher–Rao gradient flow.We prove that, under non-degeneracy assumptions, this method converges at an exponential rate to the exact mixed Nash equilibrium from any initialization satisfying a natural notion of closeness to optimality. We illustrate our results with numerical experiments and discuss applications to max-margin and distributionally-robust classification using two-layer neural networks, where our method has a natural interpretation as a simultaneous training of the network’s weights and of the adversarial distribution.…”

Nurses’ and nurse leaders’ perspectives on a health-promoting work environment: a meta-ethnographic study by Diako Morvati, Rita Solbakken, Jonas Vaag, Yvonne Hilli

“…Findings Line of argument synthesis led to the development of an overarching tree metaphor: “cultivating a flourishing environmental tree rooted in values, held stable by leadership, and nurtured by safe working conditions.” This metaphor illustrates that a health-promoting work environment is imbued with three interdependent aspects: 1) core values as the roots of the tree, including respect, recognition, community, and engagement 2) value-conscious leadership as the trunk of the tree, meaning a leader who is conscious of their power position and responsibilities and 3) safe working conditions as fertile soil for the tree, comprising the physical and administrative dimensions of the work environment. …”

Shape optimization using a level set based mesh evolution method: an overview and tutorial by Dapogny, Charles, Feppon, Florian

“…After a brief presentation of some necessary background material – related to shape optimization and meshing, among others – we describe the numerical schemes involved, notably when it comes to the practice of the level set method, the remeshing algorithms, and the considered optimization solver. This strategy is illustrated with 2d and 3d numerical examples in various physical contexts. …”
