“Self-transcendence” is proposed as a way in which individuals might find relief and support the context of COVID-19, well other times uncertainty. However, authors propose that multiple definitions self-transcendence within existing literature lean towards complex, sometimes obscure, imprecisely spiritual. A concern this creates circumstance, where possibility supporting wider population will ...

As e-government enters the “transformation” phase, public authorities face major challenges in terms of governance and leadership. The present article consolidates prior research related to organizational structure and governance, and provides an analytical framework intended to guide empirical enquiry and to orient action. We argue that our understanding is enhanced by distinguishing an “integ...

Spirituality" has often been framed in social science research as an alternative to organized "religion," implicitly or explicitly extending theoretical arguments about the privatization of religion. This article uses in-depth qualitative data from a religiously-diverse U.S. sample to argue that this either-or distinction not only fails to capture the empirical reality of American religion, but...

I survey some of the connections between formal languages and number theory. Topics discussed include applications of representation in base k, representation by sums of Fibonacci numbers, automatic sequences, transcendence in nite characteristic , automaticreal numbers, xed points of homomorphisms, automaticity, and k-regular sequences.

We apply the Ferenczi–Mauduit combinatorial condition obtained via a reformulation of Ridout’s theorem to prove that a real number whose b-ary expansion is the coding of an irrational rotation on the circle with respect to a partition in two intervals is transcendental. We also prove the transcendence of real numbers whose b-ary expansion arises from a nonperiodic three-interval exchange transf...
