Does longtermism depend on questionable forms of aggregation? by Marina Moreno

“…Longtermism, as e.g. defined by Greaves and MacAskill, holds that our moral focus should be on the long-term future, and that current and medium-term moral problems are comparatively insignificant. This theory is centrally based on the assumption that the moral importance of individuals can be aggregated. …”

Susy breaking soft terms in the supersymmetric Pati-Salam landscape from intersecting D6-branes by Mudassar Sabir, Adeel Mansha, Tianjun Li, Zhi-Wei Wang

“…Abstract We investigate the supersymmetry breaking soft terms for all the viable models in the complete landscape of three-family supersymmetric Pati-Salam models arising from intersecting D6-branes on a 𝕋6 /(ℤ2 × ℤ2) orientifold in type IIA string theory. The calculations are performed in the general scenario of u-moduli dominance with the s-moduli turned on, where the soft terms remain independent of the Yukawa couplings and the Wilson lines. …”

Manifesto for transparent mathematical modeling: from ecology to general science by Vyacheslav L. Kalmykov, Lev V. Kalmykov

“…Here we present and justify the hypothesis that it is possible to construct transparent mathematical white-box models using logical deterministic cellular automata, where the rules used to construct these models are based on the general theory of the relevant domain. So far, white-box modeling has allowed us to directly identify the mechanisms of interspecific competition, test the principle of competitive exclusion and the hypothesis of limiting similarity, resolve the paradox of biodiversity, and formulate for the first time the general principle of competitive coexistence. …”

THE NIGERIAN OIL RESOURCEAND SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND: AN INTERROGATION by Joshua DANJUMA

“…The paper adopts content analysis of mainly secondary sources to examine the research problem at stake using the resource curse theory. Findings reveal poor political institutions, corruption and lack of accountability, weak executive control of oil resource governance with apparent inadequate checks and balances, and the resultant conflicts and clashes of interests, manipulations, and inflation of oil contracts with favouritism in allocating oil blocs to cronies.Therefore, this articleshades in a newlight by interrogating the Nigerian Sovereign Wealth Fund to ensure optimal benefits of oil wealth to all citizenry; it submits that measures must be adopted in building political institutions, reforming the Niger Delta Development Commission; diversification, building a welfare state, equitable distribution of oil wealth and the imposition of direct tax. …”
