  • Ambient smart environments: Affordances, allostasis, and wellbeing

    Open AccessBen White, M MillerARTICLESynthese2024Cited by: 4References: 96

    In this paper we assess the functionality and therapeutic potential of ambient smart environments. We argue that the language of affordances alone fails to do justice to the peculiar functionality of this ambient technology, and draw from theoretical approaches based on the free energy principle and active inference. We argue that ambient smart environments should be understood as playing an'upstream' role, shaping an agent's field of affordances…

  • Analysis of Otome Mobile Game from the Perspective of Feminism in China

    Open AccessZhang Yun, L Andlauer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Science and…2022

    Computer and mobile games have become popular ways of entertainment. Currently, the number of female mobile game users is increasing year by year, accounting for roughly the same proportion as that of male users. Therefore, otome games, which are mainly targeted at female players, have gradually attracted more attention in the Chinese game industry. In China, YunShangYuYi stands out among mobile games for women after publishing. From the perspect…

  • Participant characteristics and learning outcomes: Lessons from international food safety capacity building

    Open AccessClare Narrod, Xiaoya Dou et al.ARTICLEFood Policy2021

    The U.S. Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requires monitoring and evaluating (M&E) of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) food safety capacity building programs. M&E provides feedback to the agency on the impact of capacity building. This paper evaluates the direct impacts of International Good Agricultural Practices trainings delivered to trainers in Latin American countries from 2013 to 2017 and discusses policy implications.

    During menopause, the risk of developing metabolic syndrome increases exponentially because of hormonal changes and old age. The aim is to perform a systematic review of randomized clinical trials to the effects of muscle strength training on the different parameters of the metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women. A systematic review of the literature was performed in Pubmed, ScienDirect and SportDiscus using the words: Resistance training and…

  • The feeling of grip: Novelty, error dynamics, and the predictive brain

    Open AccessJulian Kiverstein, M Miller et al.ARTICLESynthese2019Cited by: 10References: 46

    According to the free energy principle biological agents resist a tendency to disorder in their interactions with a dynamically changing environment by keeping themselves in sensory and physiological states that are expected given their embodiment and the niche they inhabit (Friston in Nat Rev Neurosci 11(2):127–138, 2010. doi: 10.1038/nrn2787 ). Why would a biological agent that aims at minimising uncertainty in its encounters with the world eve…

  • Administering Representation: The Role of Elected Administrators in Translating Citizens' Preferences into Public Policy

    M Miller, Susan M MillerARTICLEJournal of Public Administration…2013Cited by: 22References: 65

    One of the most fundamental questions for democratic governance is how to structure a system that promotes policy choices that reflect citizens' preferences. Given the typical absence of any direct connection between voters and administrators, scholars have devoted considerable attention to whether the bureaucracy is consistent with this important tenet of democracy. However, there is not always a disconnect between administrative officials and t…

  • Bureaucratic Effectiveness and Influence in the Legislature

    J Nicholson-Crotty, Jill Nicholson‐crotty et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Administration…2012Cited by: 20References: 39

    An extensive literature explores the correlates of bureaucratic influence in the implementation of public policy. Considerably less work, however, has investigated the conditions under which bureaucratic actors influence legislative outcomes. In this article, we develop the argument that effectiveness should be a key determinant of bureaucratic influence in the legislative process and identify a set of institutional characteristics that may facil…

  • From Rennes to Toronto: Anatomy of a boycott

    David Archibald, M Miller et al.ARTICLEScreen2011Cited by: 4

    The introduction of a new ‘Cities’ sidebar focusing on Tel Aviv provoked a fierce, divisive and highly public controversy at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Sponsored by the Israeli government's Brand Israel campaign, the sidebar featured ten films set in Israel's administrative capital and, while none of the films was, in itself, especially controversial, the premiss – that a major international film festival would accept mo…

  • The Music of Michael Nyman: Texts, Contexts and Intertexts. By Pwyll ap Sion

    M Miller, Martha LaFollette MillerARTICLEMusic and Letters2010

    Pwyll ap Siôn’s ground-breaking study of Michael Nyman’s music is the first full-length book on the composer. In its detailed study of the processes through which Nyman’s music—for film, stage, and concert hall—reinterprets the past, it represents a substantial contribution to musicology, both as a survey of Nyman’s oeuvre and as a deeply considered account of the topic of musical intertextuality in general. Since so much of Nyman’s music makes u…

  • The Railway and Modernity: Time, Space, and the Machine Ensemble

    M MillerARTICLEThe English Historical Review2010

    This collection of essays, we are told at its beginning, is going ‘to take the history of the railway out of railway history’ (p. 7). Roughly speaking, this curious (and not altogether adhered to) remark translates into a cultural history of the railway—no combing through ‘the dusty papers of extinct railroad companies’ (p. 10) for these authors. Most contributors, not surprisingly, are members of literature departments intent on exploring the po…

  • The Impact of Organized Interests on Eligibility Determination: The Case of Veterans' Disability Compensation

    Lael R Keiser, M Miller et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Administration…2010Cited by: 12References: 51

    The bureaucracy has a profound impact on the direction of policy when it determines eligibility for a variety of government programs. Given the significance of eligibility determination for policy and the fact that street-level bureaucrats have great latitude when interpreting eligibility standards, organized interests have an incentive to try to influence the application of eligibility rules. Despite this, few researchers have explored the impac…

  • La redistribution des revenus

    M Miller, S M Miller et al.ARTICLESociologie et sociétés2002

    Les auteurs mettent en cause les politiques de sécurité sociale telles que pratiquées dans les pays occidentaux. Ils étudient la distribution des revenus et soulignent l'irrationalité qui la caractérise. Ils démontrent que l'analyse des inégalités sociales suppose qu'on en saisisse toutes les dimensions. Ils appliquent une méthode d'analyse aux statistiques des revenus au Canada. Après avoir étudié les implications d'un système fiscal, ils montre…

  • Stratégie pour la mobilité sociale: Un Cadre Politique

    M Miller, S M Miller et al.ARTICLESociologie et sociétés2002

    L'étude de la mobilité sociale s'est traditionnellement faite de façon statique. Le lien entre mobilité et politique sociale permettrait de renouveler la question. Trois types de politique sont envisagés : les réformes de l'éducation, les allocations (cash subsidies) et la mobilité collective (stratum mobility ). Pour chacune de ces approches, les auteurs examinent plusieurs politiques qu'ils critiquent ou qu'ils suggèrent : par exemple, l'Opérat…

  • Poverty as a cause of wars

    M Miller, Michael K MillerARTICLEInterdisciplinary Science Reviews2000Cited by: 3References: 3

    During this last century war has taken more lives and wrought more damage than in all of human history. Its persistence - with over a hundred armed conflicts on the scale of ‘war’ raging in the last decade - prompts a search for causes, since diagnosis comes before a cure. Many fingers point to the stress of poverty as a major contributing factor, but both anecdotal and modelling approaches reveal that poverty has not been and is not now a signif…

  • A model to explain the relationship between sexual abuse and HIV risk among women

    M Miller, Melissa K MillerARTICLEAIDS Care1999

    This paper presents a model developed to advance the understanding of the relationship between sexual abuse and HIV risk among women. It is proposed that the relationship is mediated by many of the long-term sequelae of sexual abuse. The process of mediation is believed to occur through various causal pathways propelled by specific underlying mechanisms that increase the likelihood of HIV risk. The following causal pathways are proposed: (1) init…
