This document reviews the emerging framework of the multi-level perspective (MLP) on socio-technical transitions for analyzing sustainable innovation and technological change. It discusses how innovation studies have progressively broadened their analytical frameworks and problem framings to address larger sustainability issues. The MLP provides a policy-relevant framework for understanding transitions as the interaction between niches, socio-technical regimes, and an exogenous socio-technical landscape. However, the framework also faces challenges regarding its empirical application that require further research. This special journal section aims to address some of these challenges.

The document then derives the lens formula using similar triangles and ray diagrams.
This document is Cosimo Fedeli's dissertation submitted to the University of Heidelberg for the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences. The dissertation explores strong gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters through both analytical and numerical methods. It presents a novel semi-analytic method for computing strong lensing cross sections of clusters that reproduces results from full numerical simulations faster. Applying this method to a cluster population, it finds that mergers significantly increase the probability of strong lensing. It also analyzes the effects of early dark energy on strong lensing statistics and explores selection effects and scaling relations of clusters.

This document discusses a case study examining the benefits of art therapy for a child experiencing difficulties from reverse-migration to the United States after living in China. The study reviews literature on attachment theory, the phenomenon of "satellite babies", and previous research demonstrating art therapy's effectiveness with attachment issues. Through five art therapy sessions, the child's "bird's nest drawings" showed increasing attachment security. Discussion of the drawings and use of art materials helped the child process separation experiences and assimilation challenges. By the final session, analysis found the drawings indicated significantly improved attachment representation, and the child displayed more positive behaviors.
