Heteromobilität : Fortbewegung und Autonomie in Kindheit und Alter
(2026)
Lambrix, Philip
Das Buch vergleicht körperliche Mobilität in Kindheit und Alter. Autonomie ist hier auch eine Frage der „Automobilität“: Wer nicht selbständig laufen kann, ist auf andere angewiesen. Fortbewegung wird so zu einer sozialen Praxis. Diese „Heteromobilität“ untersucht Philip Lambrix ethnografisch: Er läuft mit und spricht mit denen, die sich und andere bewegen. Dabei fragt er, wie Heteromobilität in beiden Lebensphasen erlebt und bewertet wird. Warum finden wir die Abhängigkeit kleiner Kinder niedlich, die älterer Menschen aber tragisch? Welche Rolle spielen Fürsorge, Hilfe, Macht und Gewalt in Sorgebeziehungen? Machen wir Menschen auch durch die Art, wie wir sie transportieren, zu „Kindern“ und „Alten“? Und: Sind wir jemals wirklich selbständig?

Rechargeable batteries represent a key transformative technology for electric vehicles, portable electronics, and renewable energy. Yet, there are few nondestructive diagnostic techniques compatible with realistic commercial cell enclosures. Many battery failures result from the loss or chemical degradation of the electrolyte. In this work, we present measurements through battery enclosures that allow quantification of electrolyte amount and composition. The study employs instrumentation and techniques developed in the context of zero-to-ultralow-field nuclear magnetic resonance (ZULF NMR), with quantum magnetometers as the detection elements (atomic optically pumped magnetometers, OPMs, and superconducting quantum interference devices, SQUIDs, used in this work). In contrast to conventional NMR methodology, which suffers from skin-depth limitations, the reduced resonance frequencies in ZULF NMR make battery housing and electrodes transparent to the electromagnetic fields involved. As demonstrated here through simulation and experiment, both the solvent and lithium-salt components of the electrolyte (lithium hexafluorophosphate, LiPF6) signature can be quantified using our techniques. Further, we show that the ZULF-NMR apparatus and technique are compatible with measurements of pouch-cell batteries.

The interactive wrong of political corruption : a reply to Warren, Santoro and Fabre
(2024)
Ceva, Emanuela
;
Ferretti, Maria Paola
In this response essay, Ceva and Ferretti reply to their critics and clarify some key aspects of their book. Specifically, the discussion starts by elaborating on the notion of an ethics of office accountability, explaining that the specification of institutional norms of officeholders behaviour is the result of practices of officeholders' interaction (including democratic practices) and reflection. The second theme is the responsibility for political corruption. The authors emphasise the importance of focussing not only on retrospective responsibility, for the sake of punishing corrupt behaviour, but especially on accountability as a form of self-reflection by the officeholders on the weaknesses of their institutional work together. This exercise is preliminary to their assuming forward-looking responsibilities for anti-corruption. The third and final part discusses political corruption as a specifically interactive wrong. For the authors, the magnitude and moral salience of the wrong of corruption, as well as the different wrongs implicated both from an interactive perspective and in consideration of the harm caused to third parties, must be assessed in light of the context and the moral standing of the public institution in question. In this sense, political corruption is a pro tanto wrong.
