The statistical resources at hand for segregation research are usually almost exclusively confined to annual or decennial records where the only available spatial information is the individual’s place of residence. This coarse temporal periodicity and spatial resolution provides a very limited account of people’s diurnal lives. Incorporating mobility and temporal dimensions in segregation analysis

A socially mixed population is a politically stated ambition in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. By providing a variety of tenure alternatives – i.e. rental and ownership housing – throughout all neighborhoods it is presumed this objective could be at least partially fulfilled. Since current tenure proportions display a weak balance in many neighborhoods it could consequently be assumed that gove

The word ‘emerging’ is usually associated with countries that have opened their doors to growth-oriented capitalism but are yet to catch up with the supposedly developed world. This idea of emergence, however, reinforces hierarchical oppositions that deem some cultures less advanced than others and imposes an order that is already in crisis. This special issue, instead, draws on emergence to put i

Today, work and consumption are notably blurred. Consumption matters are found to make inroads into the realm of work, while consumption gains traction in the domain of production. This special issue of ephemera gets to the heart of this phenomenon. Covering a range of themes – genetic testing, self-quantification, migration, popular media and modern workplaces – the contributions to this issue ca

The results of a search for direct pair production of top squarks in events with two opposite-charge leptons (electrons or muons) are reported, using 36.1fb-1 of integrated luminosity from proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. To cover a range of mass differences between the top squark t~ and lighter supersymmetric particles, four possib

Focusing on the frost formation in microchannel heat exchangers, this paper analyzes the effects of frost formation on the thermal performance of microchannel heat exchangers, and summarizes the influence factors that cause the microchannel heat exchangers to form frost, including environmental factors and structure factors. The latest research progress in this issue at home and abroad is reviewed

Background: People with psychosis have a reduced life expectancy of 10-20years, largely due to cardiovascular disease. This trial aimed to determine the effectiveness of a modular health promotion intervention (IMPaCT Therapy) in improving health and reducing cardiovascular risk in psychosis. Methods: A multicentre, two arm, parallel cluster RCT was conducted across five UK mental health NHS trust

A geophysical site investigation using ERT and refraction seismic was done to detect the bedrock interface and possible weakness zones. For the purpose of a more realistic subsurface model a joint inversion was done.

Estimation of hydraulic parameters of the vadose zone is a relevant issue in hydrological characterization and flow model calibration. Two borehole Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) techniques are discussed: Zero-Offset Profiling (ZOP) and Vertical Radar Profiling (VRP). The field case is representative of a very common situation in vadose zone characterization: Above the water table, the permittivit

Lower continental plates of collision zones are normally inaccessible and their properties inferred by geophysical surveying. By contrast, the eastern margin of the deeply eroded 1-billion-year-old Sveconorwegian Orogen in Scandinavia exposes an underthrusting lower continental plate that records the metamorphic evolution and behaviour during collisional orogeny. A 200 km wide structurally coheren

The European Union’s capacity for leadership is not just decided by the EU itself. It is also affected by the perceptions of other actors regarding the EU’s role, and by their reactions to its initiatives. The same can be said of the Union’s influence in the international arena, including its capacity to do something about global imbalances. Is the EU perceived as a legitimate actor that has somet
