Hallgatóink elemzik az európai és nemzeti identitás formálódását, azt, hogy jöhet-e válság a válság után a szerencsejáték-iparban vagy a bankszektorban, lehet-e más oka a tanulásban való ...sikertelenségnek, mint az ismeretanyag elsajátításának a hiánya, hogyan kezelhető a figyelem- és hiperaktivitás-zavar a munkahelyen, van-e az Erasmus-programnak idegenforgalmat növelő hatása, az ornitológia vagy a sportrendezvények hogyan kapcsolódnak a turizmushoz, mesterség-e a szellemírás, miért terjed lassabban a megosztáson alapuló gazdaság Magyarországon, ha ezt a népszerűsége nem indokolja, mi a csapatépítő tréner szerepe, és lehet-e tréning a főzés, mit jelent az elektromos autók piaci térnyerése a magyar autóiparban, és mi a „big data" jelenség meg a „smart city" koncepció, mennyire nyitottak az emberek az okos technológiára, és így tovább. A kötetet egyetemünk hallgatóinak is szánjuk, akik ihletet meríthetnek belőle, ötleteket a tudományos munkába való bekapcsolódáshoz vagy annak folytatásához, a felvetődő új vagy még újabb kérdések megválaszolására, hogy az életet, a világot, a körülöttünk lévő hálózatot még jobban megismerjük, megértsük. „Amikor azt gondolod, hogy már minden lehetőséget kimerítettél, még mindig van legalább egy." Hallgatói kutatóműhelyeink célja, hogy az órákon elsajátított tudás mellett olyan ismeretekre is szert tegyenek a hallgatók, amelyeket későbbi pályafutásuk során is hasznosítani tudnak, hiszen közülük kerülnek majd ki a jövő szakemberei és döntéshozói. Reményeink szerint egyre több hallgató kap kedvet ahhoz, hogy belekóstoljon a tudományos munkába, illetve oktató mentor az érdeklődők felkarolására. „Prosperitas Junior" kiadványukhoz jó olvasást kívánunk és az olvasottak továbbgondolását reméljük.
The truth is that failure is endemic—in the lab, at the end of life, applying for your grant, and (of course) publishing your paper. Depending on your point of view, the Sustainable Development Goals ...are either risibly utopian objectives or inspiring aspirations (at a class held last week at Sciences Po in Paris, students were evenly divided between these two extremes). ...I have recently learned another lesson thanks to research recently published in Nature: Quantifying the dynamics of failure across science, startups, and security, by Yian Yin and colleagues.

The statement "Vision without execution is hallucination" is generally attributed to Thomas Edison and is a modification of an ancient Chinese proverb; it has gained currency in the private sector as ...a motivational, agenda-setting aphorism. The idea of this statement is that although vision is important and can set our sights, little is achieved without the hard work necessary, the step-by-step progress, toward achieving the vision. Although this may seem inarguable, it has often struck us in our professional experience how often the dots fail to be connected, how often vision is articulated without tactics rather than implemented to concretely move organizations toward that same vision. Indeed, serial expressions of vision and priorities without action create an environment of hopelessness rather than empowerment. This is a nagging preoccupation in some of our writing about a public health of consequence, featured regularly in AJPH since 20161 and referred to by McBride et al. in their article "Public Health of Consequence: Shifting the Cultural Narrative From Churning Grants to a Scholarship of Consequence".
The phonograph presented American presidential aspirants with an opportunity to surmount eighteenth-century campaigning standards and meet the challenges of an expanding democracy and electorate. ...Thomas Edison’s invention—with its corresponding records—arguably was the first mechanical media technology to find its way into political campaigning on a mass scale. By 1908, canned, recorded speeches were poised to become a marketable alternative to soliciting ballots in person while also facilitating a candidate’s direct engagement with voters, thus enabling contenders and media firms like Edison’s National Phonograph Company to curate personas that were sold both commercially and at the polls. As a result, the phonograph’s practical role allowed the public to hear candidates directly and in their own words, marking an important but underrecognized step forward in the democratization of access to information (and the concomitant risk of manipulation and distortion that came along with it) that one finds in today’s social media.
To grapple with these questions, we turn to the classic book Pasteur's Quadrant: Basic Science and Technological Innovation by Donald Stokes.4 Stokes suggested a framework presented as a twoby-two ...grid in which "relevance for the advancement of knowledge" is on the y-axis and "relevance for immediate applications" is on the x-axis; he used scientists he considered to be emblematic of each quadrant to illustrate his general point. Importantly, identifying approaches to population health improvement arises, for example, from fields that are far removed from our typical public health scholarship-fields such as economics and sociology, which aim to understand how the world works with nary a thought to health. Additionally, anyone who has been involved in the process of generating knowledge recognizes the role that serendipity plays in discovery science and, commensurately, the role that serendipity plays in the production of health within complex human systems.7 This suggests that our capacity to anticipate the significance ofwhat we might do is substantially more tenuous than a linear path would have us think.
Electric utility regulators and policy makers implement incentive-based regulation to improve electric utilities efficiency or to manage the cost of electricity. However, poorly implemented ...regulation may produce undesired results such as low reliability or poor quality of service. Moreover, the competition within the electricity sector is likely to be low because of the high barriers to entry, vertically integrated electric utilities, and high capital requirements. Therefore, benchmarking exercises allow policy makers and regulators to gauge the relative efficiency of electric utilities and help them to reward or penalize the electric utilities accordingly. In this study, we examined the variables that significantly influence the efficiency of electric utilities and developed an optimum method to measure the efficiency of the electric utilities. The results of the efficiency measurement were then used to rank the electric utilities. The result of this study indicates that there are 13 variables that significantly affect the efficiency score of electric utilities and three stage virtual frontier data envelopment analysis (3S-VF-DEA) is the optimum method to measure the efficiency of the electric utilities.

"Don't you ever, Ever, forget this," she said, And lived another twelve years Repeating, for ten of them, Thomas Edison's last words, The line he spoke reviving From a coma, "It's very Beautiful over ...there" while She outlived her confidence In a lush eternity She would inhabit, feeling, Like Mina, Edison's wife, That "Over there" was the framed Valley outside the window He faced when he woke, the light Splitting fall foliage something Like the ordinary light Of January, the sun For her funeral failing To spark the noon temperature To zero, and yet, beside Her grave, we squinted and raised Our hands to comfort our eyes In the bright, intrusive light.
Silent cinema acted as a bridge between early motion pictures and today’s film industry, playing a transformative role in shaping feminist film history and American society. This article explores ...pioneering American women in the silent film industry who ventured into technology, film culture, marginalized communities, and social movements. Despite the prevalence of racist and sexist propaganda, American silent films were a frontier for innovation, filmmaking, and exploring the New Women concept. This study examines 23 American silent films that have often been overlooked and rarely studied, whereby film analysis generally aligns with established feminist silent film theories. By shedding light on a previously overlooked film directed by May Tully, this study challenges the widespread belief that there existed “no women directors in 1925”. The examination of databases reaffirms American women directors’ contributions to silent films, especially during the early years of the silent film era. The results modify the previous scholarly notion that “influential women directors’ involvement was over by 1925”. Following an initial surge in their active leadership during the early years, influential women directors’ participation was over after 1922, rather than 1925.
