Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the fastest developing technologies globally. AI has recently entered warfare and thus taken a place in international law. Today the use of AI in warfare is through machine learning and autonomous weapon systems. Autonomous weapons are expected to play a decisive role in future war- fare and therefore have a m...
The lack of regulation banning cigarette retailers near facilities for children and adolescents has made cigarettes easily accessible to youth in Indonesia. This study aimed to investigate the density of cigarette retailer near children and adolescent facilities in urban and rural areas in the country. We mapped all cigarette retailers and faciliti...
In this paper we identify six theses that constitute core results of philosophical investigation into the nature of mechanisms, and of the role that the search for and identification of mechanisms play in the sciences. These theses represent the fruits of the body of research that is now often called New Mechanism. We concisely present the main arg...

Amongst the numerous models introduced with SOC, the Forest Fire Model (FFM) is particularly attractive for its close relationship to stochastic spreading, which is central to the study of systems as diverse as epidemics, rumors, or indeed, fires. However, since its introduction, the nature of the model's scale invariance has been controversial, an...

The abundances of isotopes in presolar grains are presumed to reflect their nucleosynthetic generation in stars. However, here Robert et al. report experimentally detected evidence of mass-independent fractionation of titanium, implying that titanium isotopic abundances in presolar grains may not be as representative as once thought.
There is widespread agreement amongst states and civil society that the concept "meaningful human control" is useful in discussions on autonomous weapon systems. The concept has been defined differently in the debate, but there are common factors which can be systemised into the following key elements of meaningful human control: context-control, u...
