Shallow trench isolation drain extended MOS (STI-DeMOS) devices, known for their superior gate oxide reliability under high drain voltages, are widely used for the integration of CMOS-compatible ...high-voltage devices. However, they offer moderate high-frequency performance that limits the use of these devices even in mid-band 5G applications. A novel island drain and a double-gate drain-extended MOS (IDDG DeMOS) device with improved high-frequency performance is proposed in this work. The proposed device has a core MOSFET and an STI-DeMOS with a self-aligned pocket well, both feature a shorter channel length than a typical STI-DeMOS device. The shorter gate length enhances the proposed device's RF performance without degrading the breakdown voltage. We have performed simulations using a well-calibrated deck in the Sentaurus TCAD environment. We have shown an increase in the transit frequency from 25 GHz in STI-DeNMOS to 53 GHz in the proposed IDDG DeNMOS device, and from 11 to 31 GHz for a p-type device at a 65-nm technology node. This work also presents the well edge variation immunity of the proposed device. All these features are achieved in the mainstream SoC-compatible CMOS process flow without any additional fabrication mask or process complexity.
In Asia Minor (modern Turkey), the authors found an example of a typical and well-studied polis of Kyaneai, province of Lycia. The article reveals the basic principles of the formation of this polis ...on the basis of the central location of the main city asty surrounded by district cities – demoses with a balanced development of its entire territory – chora. An analysis of various types of small settlements is provided, the road structure of this polis and its external relations is revealed, the importance of distances and accessibility between each of its elements and the central city as factors of harmonious and sustainable development is emphasized. An assessment of its population in the Hellenistic and Roman periods is given, and on this basis, a scheme of the chora of a typical continental polis is proposed, which allows to determine the universal principles of its formation and use them as a tool for further research and application in modern urban planning.
in my view, the most compelling cultural work is that which explores and develops modes of ecology-as-intersectionality, wherein political ecology links with Indigenous and/or queer rights activism ...and/or movements against police brutality, media censorship, and capitalist extraction.
Abstract We develop an account of societal democratization that synthesizes cultural sociology and deliberative democracy. Cultural sociologists emphasize the symbolic inclusion of marginalized ...groups into the civil sphere. Deliberative democrats stress growth in the deliberative capacity of society. We argue that democratization entails the co-evolution of culture and reason. The basis of co-evolution is the performative construction of an inclusive demos, which requires a deliberative background but is also a source of the moral emotions that motivate deliberation. Since moral emotions can also sweep people up and make them do reckless things, they must in turn be redeemable in inclusive deliberation. This synthesis sharpens a normative position for the evaluation of episodes of inclusion, extends current accounts of the place of emotion in cultural sociology and deliberative democracy, and provides a frame for comparative analyses of democratization. We illustrate with an examination of the exclusion and inclusion of Indigenous Australians.

The traditional view holds that political philosophy should aim at the truth. By contrast, Avner de Shalit argues that political philosophers should do something different. According to him, they ...should work in direct consultation with "the people" in order to think through their theories about political institutions. This article defends the traditional aim of truth-seeking and shows the mistakes in De Shalit's alternative approach
Advocates of demoicracy dismiss the proposal to transform the EU into a supranational democracy on the grounds that there is no pan‐European demos. This article examines several arguments that have ...been advanced to that effect and, noting some problems left outstanding, goes on to suggest that demoicrats who endorse the no‐demos thesis fail to consider the possibility that citizens themselves may seek to europeanize the identities of Europeans. If we take this possibility seriously, it not only follows that the no‐demos thesis is not a knockdown objection to supranational democracy. We are also provided with an alternative normative vision for transforming the EU into a legitimate supranational democratic order, one that turns upon the transformative potential of citizens who associate across borders in pursuit of shared political goals. The article concludes by examining this vision under the heading of ‘transnational partisanship’.
Beyond Development: Local Visions of Global Poverty was an art exhibition that took place in May 2019 at the Pearce Institute of Glasgow. The exhibition was organised within the framework of the ...Poverty Research Network (PRN), a research project created by Dr. Julia McClure and currently based at the University of Glasgow. Awarded funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) in 2016, the Poverty Research Network provides a forum for interdisciplinary and global discussions on different approaches to poverty research and connections to current issues. This includes investigating the cultural and historical contexts of attitudes towards poverty, wealth, and charity around the world, and contemporary global debates on inequality and humanitarian strategies. The exhibition Beyond Development: Local Visions of Global Poverty adds a further angle of investigation to the project as it engages with the political issues connected to aesthetics and the representation of poverty within the creative arts.
In this article I criticize, first, democratic inclusion principles that are indeterminate with regard to democratic boundaries and indifferent towards the structural features of polities. I suggest ...that a democratic stakeholder principle passes these critical tests and can be applied to democratic polities of different kinds. Second, I compare birthright-based and residence-based membership regimes at state and local levels and consider how they can accommodate international migrants. Third, I argue that these two regimes are not freestanding alternatives between which democratic polities have to choose, but are combined in a multilevel architecture of democratic citizenship, in which the inclusion and exclusion dynamics of birthright and residence mutually constrain each other and every individual is included as a citizen in both types of polities.
El monismo del Estado nación sigue dominando la discusión sobre la democracia europea. La teoría política no toma en consideración a la europeización de las identidades nacionales porque todavía no ...ha superado su dependencia del concepto del Estado-nación. La exitosa integración de la sociedad individualizada y fragmentada en la época moderna no dio lugar a considerar otras alternativas al sujeto político nacional, lo que llevó a justificar la democracia mediante la homogeneización cultural. De esta forma, se descartaron modelos que operaban con la relativización cultural en el Estado constitucional. Esto no sólo nos habría permitido plantear la democracia más allá del Estado-nación, sino que también se pierde la oportunidad de pensar un demos europeo. Sin embargo, una vía alternativa la encontramos consecutivamente en Ferguson, Hegel y Simmel. Su premisa: el «refinamiento», la identidad cultural a raíz de la «eticidad» propia de un Estado racional, corresponde con la evolución de las identidades nacionales observada en el contexto de la integración europea. Esto abre el paradigma nacional de la democracia al demos europeo. La recuperación de estos tres autores puede servir para solucionar el déficit democrático de la Unión Europea, ya que nos capacita para detectar la existencia de una esfera pública transeuropea y comprender su relación con los respectivos discursos nacionales. Estas conclusiones facilitan la justificación de reformas institucionales para completar las democracias nacionales con una arena europea donde queda reflejada la nueva realidad social e institucional. Esto significa ir más allá del vigente sistema de la Unión Europea, ya que una democracia europea implicaría la conversión de la actual ciudadanía europea en una serie de derechos propios de un sujeto político.
Zusammenfassung: Das Internet bietet die Möglichkeit, eine beliebig große Anzahl von Personen durch unterschiedliche Formen der Deliberation und Beschlussfassung politisch einzubinden. Insbesondere ...im kommunalen Kontext wird die Online-Partizipation – etwa im Rahmen städtischer Bürgerhaushalte – bereits vielfach als Mittel erprobt, um die soziale Akzeptanz und Legitimität politischer Entscheidungen zu erhöhen. Die Legitimität demokratischer Verfahren hängt neben anderen Faktoren maßgeblich von der Konstitution des Demos und der damit festgelegten Allokation der Teilnahmerechte ab. In historischer Perspektive hat vor allem die Exklusion bestimmter Gruppen, insbesondere von Frauen, Besitzlosen oder nichtweißen Personen, die Legitimität klassischer Offline-Verfahren, wie z. B. Parlamentswahlen, in Frage gestellt. Die neuen Formen der Online-Partizipation bergen hingegen – so die zentrale These des Aufsatzes – die Gefahr der Über-Inklusivität, weil sie häufig auf jegliche Zugangsbeschränkung verzichten. Selbst wenn die Verfahren, wie in der Praxis üblich, einen konsultativen Charakter haben und die politischen Entscheidungsträger formal nicht binden, führt ihre Offenheit zu Legitimationsproblemen. Daraus entsteht die Notwendigkeit, normative Kriterien für die Vergabe von Partizipationsrechten zu entwickeln, die den Besonderheiten der Online-Deliberation angemessen Rechnung tragen.
