Compact and broadband 4×4 SIW Butler matrix with phase and magnitude error reduction by Karamzadeh, Saeid, Rafii, Vahid, Kartal, Mesut, Virdee, Bal Singh

“…The proposed design in this letter prevents the loss of amplitude and phase shifts in Butler matrix and decreases amplitude imbalance to less than 0.6 dB. This is achieved by reducing the size of Butler matrix and avoiding the use of a line length which causes a phase shift.…”

'You would never pick up the thread from where you left off’: older Irish women migrants' narratives of non‐return, post‐retirement by Ryan, Louise, Doshi, Neha

“…Moreover, there are indications that women migrants may be less inclined to return than their male counterparts. Our article seeks to advance understanding in this area of research by drawing upon rich qualitative data from Irish women migrants, who worked as nurses in Britain and are now entering older age, e.g. 70s–80s. …”

'It hurts my heart': Afghan women in London negotiating family relationships and (im)mobility regimes across borders by Ryan, Louise, López, María E., Rasa, Mursal

“…This paper aims to contribute new insights into transnational care relationships by drawing on qualitative longitudinal data, to explore the complexities and nuances of Afghan women's dynamic family relations across multiple countries and continents. Rather than treating transnational families as a homogeneous unit, we present rich case studies to explore relationships with particular relatives, such as mothers, sisters and in‐laws, to understand the different dynamics within specific familial ties. …”
