We estimate the effects of exposure to income and wealth inequality during adolescence on long-term educational and labor market outcomes. Using detailed Swedish register data covering all students completing compulsory education between 1989 and 2013, we construct measures of inequality among students’ school-cohort peers and exploit variation between cohorts within schools to identify causal eff
We examine whether culturally transmitted time and risk preferences help explain differences in preventive health care uptake. We combine individual-level survey data from 27 European countries with country-level preference measures from the Global Preferences Survey. To isolate cultural influences from institutional and economic confounders, we focus on second-generation immigrants, who were born
Reconfigurable scan networks (RSNs) provide efficient and flexible access to on-chip logic, such as instruments for test and diagnostics, throughout a semiconductor’s lifetime. Test instruments are powerful, as they provide high controllability and observability. The availability of a high number of test instruments, as well as the standardized and easy access, makes RSNs a valuable target for an
The high-luminosity phase of LHC operations (HL-LHC), will feature a large increase in simultaneous proton-proton interactions per bunch crossing up to 200, compared with a typical leveling target of 64 in Run 3. Such an increase will create a very challenging environment in which to perform charged particle trajectory reconstruction, a task crucial for the success of the ATLAS physics program, an
Objective: Failure to rescue (FTR), defined as mortality due to failure in responding to in-hospital complications, is an important quality indicator. This study aimed to assess incidence and predictors for FTR among centers performing fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA). Methods: Consecutive patients treated by FB-EVAR for TAAAs be
Universities support their teaching staff to develop contemporary teaching compe-tencies, yet institutional priorities may not align with those of staff. This study ex-amined open texts from 863 teaching staff from 16 departments at a research-inten-sive university to discover self-identified teaching competency needs. Five universal priorities were identified (student engagement, course developme
A search for the production of three Higgs bosons ((Formula presented)) in the (Formula presented) final state is presented. The search uses (Formula presented) of proton-proton collision data at (Formula presented) collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis targets both nonresonant and resonant production of (Formula presented). The resonant interpretations prima
We provide new evidence that short-run temperature shocks affect unemployment dynamics. Linking daily weather data with three decades of Current Population Survey microdata, we show that cold, but not hot, temperatures significantly increase unemployment risk. This effect is concentrated in climate-exposed industries and driven by both increased job separations and longer unemployment durations. S
We leverage U.S. county-day temperature variation combined with daily time use data to examine the effect of temperature on the timing of work. We find that warmer (colder) temperatures increase (decrease) working time during the night and decrease (increase) working time in the morning. These effects are pronounced among workers with increased bargaining power, flexible work schedules, greater ex
We combine exogenous variation in temperature at the county-day level in the U.S. with daily time use data to examine the effect of temperature on joint time use. We show that low temperatures reduce time spent with friends but increase time spent with family. Conversely, high temperatures increase time alone but reduce time with family. We also provide evidence of the effect of temperature on joi
We study the effect of childbirth on local and non-local employment dynamics for both men and women using Belgian social security and geo-location data. Applying an event-study design that accounts for treatment effect heterogeneity, we show that 75 percent of the effect of the birth of a first child on the overall gender gap in employment is accounted for by gender disparities in non-local employ
The production cross section of inclusive isolated photons has been measured by the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC in pp collisions at centre-of-momentum energy of s=13 TeV collected during the LHC Run 2 data-taking period. The measurement is performed by combining the measurements of the electromagnetic calorimeter EMCal and the central tracking detectors ITS and TPC, covering a pseudorapidity
Liquid-phase ammonia, a carbon-free alternative fuel, is increasingly being considered for improving overall efficiency, reducing system complexity, and lowering costs across various thermal applications such as engines, gas turbines, and burners. However, the physical properties of ammonia are far from usual carbon-based fuels as it is prone to flash boiling upon injection. Therefore, experimenta
A search for a dark photon, a new light neutral particle, which decays promptly into collimated pairs of electrons or muons is presented. The search targets dark photons resulting from the exotic decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson, assuming its production via the dominant gluon-gluon fusion mode. The analysis is based on 140fb-1 of data collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Co
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent and morbid abnormality of the heart rhythm with a strong genetic component. Here, we meta-analyzed genome and exome sequencing data from 36 studies that included 52,416 AF cases and 277,762 controls. In burden tests of rare coding variation, we identified novel associations between AF and the genes MYBPC3, LMNA, PKP2, FAM189A2 and KDM5B. We further identifie
As the economic globalization has intensified worldwide and Sweden has become a member of the European Union we have in a short time experienced a dramatic change with the influx of migrant workers, also in the Swedish labour market. The increase of migrant labour against a background of free mobility in the EU has raised a number of new issues and problems. Above all questions of how migrant work
Denna uppsats ställer frågan hur israelisk film tar upp och bearbetar rättfärdigandeproblematik från det första Libanonkriget 1982. Det centrala för analysen är att undersöka hur rättfärdigandediskursen tar sig uttryck i filmens värld, något som ofta förbises i analyser av detta slag trots filmers ibland enorma genomslag. Filmerna Beaufort (2007), Waltz with Bashir (2008) och Lebanon (2009) analys
Denna uppsats är en kvalitativ fallstudie av den fredsbyggande processen i Namibia. Syftet är att studera möjliga faktorer för processens framgång samt hur de hörhåller sig till Roland Paris teori om Institutionalization Before Liberalization, som är vår teoretiska utgångspunkt. Vår hypotes är att Namibia utgör ett undantagsfall från teorin då operationen, internationellt sett, anses vara framgång
