Multiband superconductivity arises when multiple electronic bands contribute to the formation of the superconducting state, allowing distinct pairing interactions and gap structures. Here, we present field- and temperature-dependent data on the vortex lattice structure in 2H-NbSe2 as a contribution to the ongoing debate as to whether the defining feature of the superconductivity is the anisotropy
This paper exploits exogenous variation in the transition date from an analogue to digital television signal in the UK across more than 32,000 geographical units to examine the causal impact of television on academic performance and potential mechanisms. Using a large administrative dataset on the universe of students in public education in England, I show that the switchover increased pupil test
Using the 1972 UK compulsory education reform as a natural experiment, we investigate the impact of education on occupational and industrial sorting through Quarterly Labour Force Surveys. Higher education levels increase the likelihood of men working in public administration and non-manual occupations. For women, it leads to a higher probability of employment in health and education industries. T
The interplay between ecological and evolutionary dynamics can create feedback that reinforces external disturbances and potentially threatens species’ coexistence. For example, plants might invest less into attracting insect pollinators (decreased flower or nectar production) and more into independence (increased selfing or vegetative reproduction) when faced with pollinator decline. This adaptiv
Understanding the mechanisms that regulate the dynamics of spatially structured populations (SSP) is a critical challenge for ecologists and conservation managers. Internal population processes such as births and deaths occur at a local level, while external processes such as dispersal take place at an inter-population level. At both levels, density dependence is expected to play a critical role.
Understanding the impact of weather fluctuations on demographic parameters is of crucial interest to biodiversity research in a context of global climate change. Amphibians are valuable candidates for investigating this topic due to their strong physiological dependence on water availability and temperature. In this study, we took advantage of data from a long-term capture–mark–recapture (CMR) mon
Global warming is severely impacting ecosystems and threatening ecosystem services as well as human well-being. While some species face extinction risk, several studies suggest the possibility that fast evolution may allow species to adapt and survive in spite of environmental changes. We assess how such evolutionary rescue extends to multitrophic communities and whether evolution systematically p
Postorderkataloger, pizzamenyer och reklam är exempel på s.k. vardagstryck. Trycken är skapade för ett givet tillfälle, präglas av sin samtid och med sin konkreta existens synliggör de ett -nu-. Materialet speglar det moderna, det eftertraktade, människors arbete, fritid, engagemang och drömmar. Genom vardagstrycket kan man spåra framväxten av det moderna Sverige på makro- som mikronivå.
BackgroundImpulsive-compulsive disorders (ICDs) are commonly acknowledged as side effects of dopaminergic therapy in Parkinson’s disease (PD). While many large-scale studies have focused on prevalences and high-risk treatments, little is known about practical management of ICDs in clinical care and patients’ experiences.ObjectiveTo investigate how ICDs are recognized in clinical PD care, clinical
I exploit variation in the date of transition from analogue to digital television signal in the UK across more than 40,000 geographical units to investigate the causal impact of television on employment. Using an event study model, I find that the digital transition increases employment probabilities. The impact is driven by mothers, primarily through an increase in part-time employment. I also sh
I examine the causal effect of incentives to permanent employment on fertility by exploiting exogenous variation in subsidies given by the Spanish local authorities to employers converting temporary jobs into permanent ones. The amount of the subsidy varies across regions, in the age and gender of the employees whose contracts are converted, and within these three dimensions over time. Using admin
We examine the effect of screen-based activities on obesity and mental well-being for children, using a large survey dataset representative of the UK population and an event study model that exploits exogenous variation in the entry date of the digital television transition in the UK. The digital transition increased the number of available free television channels from 5 to 40, leading to a rise
This paper explores gender differences in the career paths of immigrant and native parents before and after childbirth using Spanish administrative data and an event study specification. I find an important gender pay gap emerging after childbirth for both immigrants and natives, and that the drivers of these gender pay gaps strongly differ between natives and immigrants: while children generate h
Precarious, flexibilised and informalised work has been a norm rather than the exception. Globally, formal employment, with a job contract, sick leave, vacation, rights to safe workspace, defined working hours, etc., has only been a reality for a minority. Much of the global workforce work outside formalised workspaces which include all types of economic activities deemed as ‘informal’, such as, s
This paper engages with limitations to social rights for different categories of migrants under EU law. By looking at how EU law construes accepted limitations to social rights and how the Court of Justice reviews such limitations, the paper suggests that there is room for different interpretation of limitations to social rights under secondary law in view of a more coherent understanding of their
Japan’s decision to end it contribution to the U.N.’s top gender equality body could hardly come at a worse time, both diplomatically and symbolically.
