Abstract:
We define a graded multiplication on the vector space of essential paths on a graph G (a tree) and show that it is associative. In most interesting applications, this tree is an ADE Dynkin diagram. The vector space of length-preserving endomorphisms of essential paths has a grading obtained from the length of paths and possesses several interesting bialgebra structures. One of these, the Double Triangle Algebra (DTA) of A. Ocneanu, is a particular kind of quantum groupoid (a weak Hopf algebra) and was studied elsewhere; its coproduct gives a filtrated convolution product on the dual vector space. Another bialgebra structure is obtained by replacing this filtered convolution product by a graded associative product. It can be obtained from the former by projection on a subspace of maximal grade, but it is interesting to define it directly, without using the DTA. What is obtained is a weak bialgebra, not a weak Hopf algebra.

Abstract:
The twisted cubeTQnis an alternative to the popular hypercube network and some interesting properties of aTQnwere investigated recently. The problem of how to embed paths into a host graph has attracted a great attention in recent years. However, there are few systematic methods proposed to generate the desired paths in aTQn. In this paper, we provide two kinds of systematic methods of embedding paths into aTQn.

Abstract:
Fictive motion is to represent stability by motion; it is first put forward by Talmy, who divided the fictive motion into five categories, that is to say, “emanation,” “pattern paths,” “frame-relative motion,” “advent paths,” “access paths,” and “coextension paths.”. Fictive motion is not only used in English, but also widely used in Chinese, especially in Chinese literary works, in which fictive motion has an intimate relationship with the figure of speech. The use of fictive motion and figure of speech make the works vivid and interesting. This paper intends to discuss the fictive motion and its rhetorical effect in Chinese novels.

Abstract:
Transportation networks are used in many application areas, like traffic control or river monitoring. For this purpose, sensors are placed in strategic points in the network and they send their data to a central location for storage, viewing and analysis. Recent work proposed graph databases to represent transportation networks, since these networks can change over time, a temporal graph data model is required to keep track of these changes. In this model, time-series data are represented as properties of nodes in the network, and nodes and edges are timestamped with their validity intervals. In this paper, we show that transportation networks can be represented and queried using temporal graph databases and temporal graph query languages. Many interesting situations can be captured by the temporal paths supported by this model. To achieve the above, we extend a recently introduced temporal graph data model and its high-level query language T-GQL to support time series in the nodes of the graph, redefine temporal paths and study and implement new kinds of paths, namely Flow paths and Backwards Flow paths. Further, we analyze a real-world case, using a portion of the Yser river in the Flanders’ river system in Belgium, where some nodes are equipped with sensors while other ones are not. We model this river as a temporal graph, implement it using real data provided by the sensors, and discover interesting temporal paths based on the electric conductivity parameter, that can be used in a decision support environment, by experts for analyzing water quality across time.

Abstract:
The phenomenon of rotation of a vector under parallel transport along a closed path is known as anholonomy. In this paper, we have studied the anholonomy for noncontractible loops — closed paths in a curved surface that do not enclose any area and hence Stokes theorem is not directly applicable. Examples of such closed paths are poloidal and toroidal loops and knots on a torus. The present study is distinct from conventional results on anholonomy for closed paths on [Formula: see text] since in the latter case all closed paths are contractible or trivial cycles. We find that for some nontrivial cycles the anholonomy cancels out over the complete cycle. Next, we calculate Hannay angle for a particle traversing such noncontractible loops when the torus itself is revolving. Some new and interesting results are obtained especially for poloidal paths that is for paths that encircle the torus ring.

Abstract:
A Rubik’s Snake is a toy that was invented over 40 years ago together with the more famous Rubik’s Cube. It starts with a straight ruler and could be twisted into many interesting shapes. One important type of shapes is a box shape. Many complicated shapes can be constructed as a combination of box shapes. Therefore it is a fundamental problem to study the box shape. We constructed a path for a general box shape and derived a counting formula. Some other properties and application were also discussed.

Abstract:
Computing the shortest path between a pair of nodes is a fundamental graph primitive, which has critical applications in vehicle routing, finding functional pathways in biological networks, survivable network design, among many others. In this work, we study shortest-path queries over uncertain networks, i.e., graphs where every edge is associated with a probability of existence. We show that, for a given path, it is # P -hard to compute the probability of it being the shortest path, and we also derive other interesting properties highlighting the complexity of computing the Most Probable Shortest Paths (MPSPs). We thus devise sampling-based efficient algorithms, with end-to-end accuracy guarantees, to compute the MPSP. As a concrete application, we show how to compute a novel concept of betweenness centrality in an uncertain graph using MPSPs. Our thorough experimental results and rich real-world case studies on sensor networks and brain networks validate the effectiveness, efficiency, scalability, and usefulness of our solution.

Full text
Abstract:
Counting the number of shortest paths in various graphs is an important and interesting combinatorial problem, especially in weighted graphs with various applications. We consider a specific infinite graph here, namely the honeycomb grid. Changing to its dual, the triangular grid, paths between triangle pixels (we abbreviate this term to trixels) are counted. The number of shortest weighted paths between any two trixels of the triangular grid is discussed. For each trixel, there are three different types of neighbor trixels, 1-, 2- and 3-neighbours, depending the Euclidean distance of their midpoints. When considering weighted distances, the positive values α, β and γ are assigned to the ‘steps’ to various neighbors. We gave formulae for the number of shortest weighted paths between any two trixels in various cases by the respective weight values. The results are nicely connected to various numbers well-known in combinatorics, e.g., to binomial coefficients and Fibonacci numbers.

Abstract:
Description of diffusion paths is one of the most interesting and topical problems in experimental investigations of interdiffusion in multicomponent systems and, particularly, in ternary systems. The relationship between effective interdiffusion coefficients and diffusion paths in ternary systems has been discussed earlier but the specific influence of the mobility and thermodynamic properties of components on the characteristics of the diffusion path is still unclear. In this paper an attempt is made to clarify the separate influences of mobility and thermodynamics on the behavior of diffusion paths in ternary systems and the corresponding correlation is found. It is shown that in most cases the deviation of the diffusion path from linearity (an ideal system) is related to the deviation of the thermodynamic properties from the ideal. The results obtained are analyzed on the basis of thermodynamic data for the ternary system Cu-Fe-Ni.

Abstract:
This book is a collection of some of the most interesting work by Maria Di Salvo compiled on the occasion of her sixty-fifth birthday. These articles reflect her intellectual curiosity, her clarity of exposition and the capacity to apply and amalgamate different methodologies and disciplines, blending them into a coherent whole despite the variety of topics and subjects of study. We have favoured the essays that are harder to get hold of, making selections that enable the identification of two essential groups: the philological and literary studies and those related to the relations between Russia and Italy. We trust that the choices made will offer an organic overview of the intellectual and academic career of Maria Di Salvo, including the latest 'new path' of research, that on punctuation in the Slavic languages, and while awaiting the imminent publication by Edizioni dell'Orso, of the part devoted to Russia in the memoirs of Filippo Balatri, the famous castrato sent by the Grand Duke of Tuscany to the Russian court at the end of the seventeenth century.

Abstract:
A network is specified by its links and nodes. However, it can be described by a much wider range of interesting and important topological features. This chapter introduces how a network can be characterized by its microscopic topological features and macroscopic topological features. Microscopic features introduced are degree and clustering coefficients. Macroscopic topological features introduced are the degree distribution; correlation between degrees of connected nodes; modularity; and, the eigenvalue spectrum (which counts the number of closed paths in the graph).

Abstract:
This article is concerned with the triangular territory between biomedicine, relevant moving image media production, and lay people — sometimes cinematic subjects, sometimes patients, and sometimes audiences. The examples quoted — mainly British — arise from the period stretching from the late nineteenth century up to the 1960s. The significant costs and effort involved in producing medical films and programmes make their existence in certain times and places particularly interesting evidence for the terrain of biomedicine in the past. The three modes of medical film and television are discussed and they stand for different aspects of biomedicine. This article provides an understanding of how biomedicine came to be made and used and gives access to the politics and social attitudes of participants in interesting ways. The coverage of each mode of film-making is concentrated in the decade of its emergence.

Abstract:
In the Conclusion of the Handbook, we acknowledge the diversity of perspectives represented in its various chapters, but at the same time outline converging patterns and trace some paths for moving forward. We observe how the “definitional war” that affected the field in its early years seems to have finally settled around a core set of often-complimentary perspectives (e.g. social actor, social constructionist, institutional, discursive, etc.) that investigate different research questions. Scholars also seem to be shifting their attention to the way that organizational identity—as a “work in progress” rather than a stable state—is constantly constructed and reconstructed and is thus permanently “becoming.” This focus on time and process not only opens interesting avenues for the study of change and stability in organizational identity, but also carries important ontological and methodological implications about the study of identities. We also observe how the adoption of new perspectives (e.g. institutional, political) may improve our understanding of the nature and causes of plurality and complexity in organizational identities, and may highlight important multilevel linkages between individuals, organizations, and external forces. Finally, we note a variety of contemporary trends affecting organizations and speculate on how they may impact the very nature of identity in and of organizations.

Abstract:
This is a unique chapter that discusses classical path integrals in both configuration space and phase space. It examines both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations before qualitatively discussing some interesting features of gauge fixing. This formulation is then linked to superspace and Grassmann variables for a fermionic field theory. The chapter then shows that the corresponding operatorial formulation is none other than the Koopman–von Neumann theory. In parallel to quantum theory, the classical propagator or the transition amplitude between two classical states is given exactly by the phase space partition function. The functional Dirac delta is discussed, and the chapter closes by briefly mentioning Faddeev–Popov ghosts, which were introduced earlier in the chapter.

AbstractThe discovery of aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence (AIECL) in 2017 opened new research paths in the quest for novel, more efficient emitters and platforms for biological and environmental sensing applications. The great abundance of fluorophores presenting aggregation-induced emission in aqueous media renders AIECL a potentially powerful tool for future diagnostics. In the short time following this discovery, many scientists have found the phenomenon interesting, with research findings contributing to advances in the comprehension of the processes involved and in attempts to design new sensing platforms. Herein, we explore these advances and reflect on the future directions to take for the development of sensing devices based on AIECL.

AbstractAs society and regulations demand more ecological materials, we must focus on finding new properties in potential candidates that make them really feasible and open up new possibilities. A new methodology is established to reach that goal, based on already existing ones, but with a broader vision; more focused on the use, and not solely on the product. To put it into practice, it’s been applied on Luffa Cylindrica, a plant with interesting properties. A volumetric, mechanical and perceptual characterization of it has been carried out, so that we can create new concepts specially linked to that. One of these paths has been fully developed to the point of getting a physical prototype, while more complex ones have been suggested. The stated methodology may be used as a flexible guide to find new materials not only more environmentally-friendly, but better than what’s stablished.

AbstractThanks to its ability to offer a time-oriented perspective on the clinical events that define the patient’s path of care, Process Mining (PM) is assuming an emerging role in clinical data analytics. PM’s ability to exploit time-series data and to build processes without any a priori knowledge suggests interesting synergies with the most common statistical analyses in healthcare, in particular survival analysis. In this work we demonstrate contributions of our process-oriented approach in analyzing a real-world retrospective dataset of patients treated for advanced melanoma at the Lausanne University Hospital. Addressing the clinical questions raised by our oncologists, we integrated PM in almost all the steps of a common statistical analysis. We show: (1) how PM can be leveraged to improve the quality of the data (data cleaning/pre-processing), (2) how PM can provide efficient data visualizations that support and/or suggest clinical hypotheses, also allowing to check the consistency between real and expected processes (descriptive statistics), and (3) how PM can assist in querying or re-expressing the data in terms of pre-defined reference workflows for testing survival differences among sub-cohorts (statistical inference). We exploit a rich set of PM tools for querying the event logs, inspecting the processes using statistical hypothesis testing, and performing conformance checking analyses to identify patterns in patient clinical paths and study the effects of different treatment sequences in our cohort.

Abstract:
AbstractTechnology has become an ordinary, constituent element of today’s world. Therefore, digital skills are not only important, but ultimately necessary for all. This makes it mandatory for school and educational research to construct learning paths with an educational rather than a training approach to technology. The purpose of school is not to prepare students to be users of an instrument, but, above all, to kindle in them an awareness of the process that can stem from creation. This chapter aims to highlight some of the topics emerging from international discussion on school and learning methodologies. First, one of the interesting topics is the Maker approach and productive partnerships with schools, including in relation to the original concept of craftsmanship, forerunner of the term “maker”. Second, educational robotics and the laboratory as tools for improving deep learning, abstract thinking and problem-solving skills, without forgetting to look at the ethical and social issues of introducing robots into our lives. Third, learning spaces and new school buildings have to meet the changing paradigms of learning approaches. There are countless opportunities for improving digital skills and methodological approaches. Teachers should be aware of all these possibilities and be ready to get training and apply them in their everyday lessons.

Abstract:
AbstractIn arid areas, flash floods represent one of the most severe hazards for people and infrastructure alike. The associated risks are compounded by increasing exposure and vulnerability through rapid and unregulated urbanization, poor infrastructure, and sociocultural factors, among other elements. This research explores the flash flooding risk in the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah with a particular focus on the Abruq Ar Rughamah neighborhood, which experienced a destructive flood in November 2009 that resulted in 116 deaths and 1,200 families becoming homeless. The neighborhood is an interesting case study as it has two distinctive urban layouts representing planned and irregular settlement types. In this paper, the focus is placed on exposure to flash flood hazards using a geographic information system to study urban layouts, building types, and resident populations in conjunction with data from satellites, flood mapping studies, and topographic data. The results show that most of the study area is located along a natural flood path. The regions that were affected by the 2009 disaster received no comprehensive site rehabilitation. This paper concludes that it is important to develop a risk management strategy that includes limiting urban expansion in flood-prone areas and redesigning neighborhoods to increase flood resilience.

Abstract:
AbstractCities, and with them the criticalities and opportunities that characterize urban contexts, are one of the main challenges in the transition toward environmental and social sustainability today. Within the contemporary debate dominated by reflections on the effects of climate change, the culture of design is increasingly oriented to measure itself against the concept of resilience: the limitation of land consumption, together with the technological, functional and energetic reorganization of areas and buildings, is the path taken by design to make the built environment adaptable to the changes taking place, so as to promote development, equity and social inclusion. Public space, defined as a system of open urban spaces, is assuming an increasingly important role in urban and environmental regeneration processes. At the same time, the topic of sport and the public infrastructure of cities for practicing physical activity is an increasingly important factor for urban and social quality, requiring strategies capable of redefining places and the way they are used in line with objectives of environmental quality and collective well-being. The picture that emerges from studies and research on the European and Italian panorama of sport infrastructures highlights interesting and innovative trends that show, also in this sector, an increasing focus on the themes of urban, architectural and social resilience. On the basis of this premise, the contribution aims to analyze the recent evolution of the design of public space in relation to sports practices as an area where resilience policies are applied.

It is interesting to look at the types of social networks that are directed or weighted, or social networks with the combination of both. In many cases, the relationship between vertices may be quantifiable (weighted) or asymmetrical (directed). In this chapter, the authors first introduce the concept of weighted social networks and present an anonymization algorithm for these networks called the anonymity generalization algorithm. After that, they discuss k-anonymous path privacy and introduce the MSP algorithm. Next, the authors introduce the (k1, k2)-shortest path privacy and a (k1, k2)-shortest path privacy algorithm. Then they introduce directed weighted social networks and present the k-multiple paths anonymization on PV+NV (KMPPN). Also, the authors present a technique to convert directed networks into undirected networks. Finally, the authors present the linear property preserving anonymization approach for social networks.

Abstract:
Abstract In particular, if all connections are only between layers, then we get a multipartite graph, which we already discussed. In this chapter we proceed further and consider more interesting and more complicated networks having connections both within and between the layers. Distinct types of edges result in different kinds of paths between vertices, and hence to a more complex connectivity. This raises new questions, impossible for ordinary graphs. For example, we can ask about a pair of vertices: how are they interconnected by paths running within particular layers? This rich connectivity enables one to introduce new kinds of connected components playing specific roles in the integrity, robustness, and function of a network.

Abstract:
Business organizations must pay attention to interesting changes in customer behavior in order to anticipate their needs and act accordingly with appropriated business actions. Tracking customer’s commercial paths through the products they are interested in is an essential technique to improve business and increase customer satisfaction. Data warehousing (DW) allows us to do so, giving the basic means to record every customer transaction based on the different business strategies established. Although managing such huge amounts of records may imply business advantage, its exploration, especially in a multi-dimensional space (MDS), is a nontrivial task. The more dimensions we want to explore, the more are the computational costs involved in multi-dimensional data analysis (MDA). To make MDA practical in real world business problems, DW researchers have been working on combining data cubing and mining techniques to detect interesting changes in MDS. Such changes can also be detected through gradient queries. While those studies have provided the basis for future research in MDA, just few of them points to preference query selection in MDS. Thus, not only the exploration of changes in MDS is an essential task, but also even more important is ranking most interesting gradients. In this chapter, the authors investigate how to mine and rank the most interesting changes in a MDS applying a TOP-K gradient strategy. Additionally, the authors also propose a gradient-based cubing method to evaluate interesting gradient regions in MDS. So, the challenge is to find maximum gradient regions (MGRs) that maximize the task of raking gradients in a MDS. The authors’ evaluation study demonstrates that the proposed method presents a promising strategy for ranking gradients in MDS.

Abstract:
The field of education is replete with tensions that challenge established visions of knowledge, teaching, and learning. Beyond the neoliberal drives that have had decades-long influence, bottom-up micro-practices emerge that outline an interesting empirical field. In this chapter, the phenomenon of homeschooling in Italy (istruzione parentale, IP) is observed as an everyday practice for untangling its pluralities and tensions. A focus is posed on the situated learning paths that lead homeschooling parents from the margins to the heart of the practice. Sixteen homeschooling parents have thus interviewed and the policy on IP has been analysed. On the one hand, IP moves around constantly: it is an open-ended practice taking multiple arrangements. On the other hand, it holds its shape– as a network where diverse actors converge, and as a social space laying out situated learning paths and cultural orientations. IP is held together by an antagonistic tension toward the forme scolaire, responsible for the standardisation of education. Hyper-personalisation and care are activated as solutions.

Abstract:
Geological paths (geopaths, geotrails) represent a type of educational paths that connect sites which are interesting from the Earth-sciences point of view. These sites (e.g. outcrops, old quarries, historical buildings built of local stone or viewpoints) often represent the links between geodiversity and other phenomena within a region (which is in accordance with a holistic approach to geotourism). Thus, they can give complex information not only about the abiotic nature but also about biodiversity, history or culture of the region, usually through narrative. Suitable interpretation of geodiversity and its relationships to the biodiversity and cultural heritage allows to identify regional specifics, it helps to find the mutual connections between particular phenomena within the region and it supports the holistic perception of a given region. The contribution presents an example from the Brno city where the urban geopath can be used for teaching regional geography of Brno and its surroundings.

Abstract:
Abstract Computational analysis and two-dimensional tensile tests on single motor grain fins suggest that cracks in fin tips are most likely to originate at the coalescence of a fin end tip radius, with a small radius from the side of the fin. Some manufacturers have also noticed defects formed during casting at the fin tip on the fin axis. The following is an experimental investigation utilizing frozen stress photoelastic models of an existing motor grain geometry in order to clarify stress intensity factor (SIF) values and crack growth paths for cracks emanating from the two above-noted potential critical loci. Comparisons between results from cracks grown from the two loci will be made, suggesting interesting conclusions.

Abstract:
Stochastic music, developed last century by Xenakis, has older avatars, like Mozart, who showed how to compose minuets by tossing dice, in a similar way that contemporary choreographer Cunningham took apart the structural elements of what was considered to be a cohesive choreographic work (including movement, sound, light, set and costume) and reconstructed them in random ways. We intend to explore an enactive and experiential analogue of stochastic music, in the realm of dance, where the poetry of a choreographic spatial/floor pattern is elicited by a mathematical stochastic process, to wit a random walk – a stochastic dance of sorts. Among many possible random walks, we consider two simple examples, embodied in the following scenarios, proposed to the students/dancers: - a frog, jumping randomly on a row of stones, choosing right and left as if tossing a coin, - a person walking randomly on a square grid, starting a given node, and choosing each time randomly, equally likely N, S, E or W, and walking non-stop along the corresponding edge, up to the next node, and so on.When the dancers encounter these situations, quite natural questions arise for the choreographer, like: Where will the walker/dancer be after a while? Several ideas for a choreography emerge, which are more complex than just having one or more dancers perform the random walk, and which surprisingly turn our random process into a deterministic one!For instance, for the first random walk, 16 dancers start at the same node of a discrete line on the stage, and execute, each one, a different path of the 16 possible 4 – jump paths the frog can follow. They would need to agree first on how to carry this out. Interestingly, they may proceed without a Magister Ludi handing out scripts to every dancer. After arriving to their end node/position, they could try to retrace their steps, to come back all to the starting node.Analogously for the grid random walk, where we may have now 16 dancers enacting the 16 possible 2-edge paths of the walker. The dancers could also enter the stage (the grid or some other geometric pattern to walk around), one by one, sequentially, describing different random paths, or deterministic intertwined paths, in the spirit of Beckett’s Quadrat. Also, the dancers could choose their direction ad libitum, after some spinning, each time, on a grid-free stage, but keeping the same step length, as in statistician Pearson’s model for a mosquito random flight.We are interested in various possible spin-offs of these choreographies, which intertwine dance and mathematical cognition: For instance, when the dancers choose each one a different path, they will notice that their final distribution on the nodes is uneven (interesting shapes emerge). In this way, just by moving, choreographer and dancers can find a quantitative answer to the impossible question: where will the walker/dancer be after a while? Indeed, the percentage of dancers ending up at each node gives the probability of the random walker landing there.

Abstract:
The research is aimed at the construction of a multi-level adaptive test (MST), for the evaluation of the mathematical skills of Italian students of Grade 10, and was carried out in collaboration with Invalsi for a PhD study of "La Sapienza" University of Rome. The research started from the definition of the construct to be measured, taking into account both national and international references. A specific item bank was then built. The test was administered to a sample of 4132 students. The experiment confirmed the advantages of an MST model. Interesting results emerged by comparing the adaptive part of the main paths with a linear tests consisting of the same number of items and administered to a sample of pre-test students and comparing the MST test with a simulated linear test, built on the same item bank and with the same numer of item of MST test.

Abstract:
Abstract Knowledge of vibrations and controls has increased significantly by utilizing emerging computer capabilities. Engineering education should embrace this technology through computer simulations that predict and display the dynamic response of interesting systems. For example, manipulating payloads with an overhead gantry crane can be challenging due to the oscillations induced by the crane motion. The problem gets increasingly difficult when the work environment is cluttered with obstacles. This paper describes a simple input shaping solution to the vibration problem and shows how this problem and concept were integrated into the curriculum of an undergraduate system dynamics and controls course at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Furthermore, an educational tool is used to gather data on how crane operators attempt to navigate around obstacles. The results show that input shaping reduces the likelihood of collisions between the payload and obstacles, while at the same time allowing operators to be more aggressive in selecting navigation paths.

Abstract:
Abstract A new degree-four vertex origami, called the Morph pattern, has been recently proposed by the authors (Pratapa, Liu, Paulino, Phy. Rev. Lett. 2019), which exhibits interesting properties such as extreme tunability of Poisson’s ratio from negative infinity to positive infinity, and an ability to transform into hybrid states through rigid origami kinematics. We look at the geometry of the Morph unit cell that can exist in two characteristic modes differing in the mountain/valley assignment of the degree-four vertex and then assemble the unit cells to form complex tessellations that are inter-transformable and exhibit contrasting properties. We present alternative and detailed descriptions to (i) understand how the Morph pattern can smoothly transform across all its configuration states, (ii) characterize the configuration space of the Morph pattern with distinguishing paths for different sets of hybrid states, and (iii) derive the condition for Poisson’s ratio switching and explain the mode-locking phenomenon in the Morph pattern when subjected to in-plane deformation as a result of the inter-play between local and global kinematics.

Disagreement among populists in the Netherlands: The diverging rhetorical and policy positions of Dutch populist Radical Right parties following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Abstract:
The Netherlands boasts a wide array of populist Radical Right parties, from the Freedom Party (PVV) and Forum for Democracy (FvD) to Correct Alternative 2021 (JA21). To complicate matters further, the left-wing Socialist Party (SP) is also considered a populist party. Mirroring the diversity of responses to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in the rest of Europe, Dutch populist parties have reacted in myriad ways. Whereas the PVV condemned the Russian invasion, the FvD remained highly supportive of Putin. Interestingly, while many European populist Radical Right leaders, following public opinion, pivoted away from support for Russia, the FvD has maintained its support for Putin’s regime throughout 2022. JA21, on the other hand, has followed the non-populist parties, calling for tougher sanctions on Russia. This report maps the diverse positions of the three populist Radical Right parties regarding Russia. However, we also seek to explain why they have chosen such diverse paths. The report focuses on supply-side considerations, such as the impact of the parties’ relative degree of populism, their attaching ideology, and their position in the highly fragmented party system.
