Abstract This essay reviews some of the changes engendered by digital turn in language attitudes and behaviour. It compares current nexus technology with that print capitalism examines dimensions society have been affected particularly strongly, paying special attention to social practices, Bourdieu’s notion “legitimate language”, legal issues, our general understanding how works. concludes pro...

There is no integrated, comprehensive regime governing efforts to limit the extent of climate change. Instead, there is a regime complex: a loosely coupled set of specific regimes. We describe the regime complex for climate change and seek to explain it, using functional, strategic, and organizational arguments. It is likely that such a regime complex will persist: efforts to build an effective...

This paper studies social learning effects in dynamic regime change games with a finite number of short-lived players in each period. These kinds of games are usually applied to currency attacks by hedge funds, investments in emerging firms by venture capitalists, and revolutions against dictators by armies. In my model, the state of the status quo is fixed but unobservable to players. Since ea...

A toy climate analogous to the famous Lorenz system [1] is derived and compared to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in order to test new modeling techniques. In particular, methods of data assimilation and ensemble forecasting are used to predict regime changes and residencies in this toy climate. A climate “truth” is created using a finite-element simulation of a thermal convecti...

Change points and changing regimes can be observed in many statistical time series. In this paper we analyze the most influential approaches of modeling these occurrences. Along with the theory some of the most interesting applications are presented. We find out that use of terminology is not unique, leading to considerable differences between the models, as will be pointed out.
