Profiting from prestige: the political economy of mega-events in Azerbaijan by Laporte, J

“…Focusing on the development of Azerbaijan’s events industry in the 2000s and 2010s, the article uses available evidence and process tracing techniques to develop the hypothesis that Azerbaijan’s elites sought out hosting rights, at least in part, to diversify their sources of private rents. …”

Why do rural migrant mothers in urban China digitally monitor their children? by Murphy, R, Wu, G

“…The discussion draws on our 22 face-to-face interviews with the rural migrant mothers of at least one child ages 7–14 years. Our analysis highlights the intersectionally constituted time pressures arising from these women’s need to balance their responsibilities in paid work and childcare. …”

Quasi-Biennial Oscillation by Wang, Y, Rao, J, Ju, Z, Osprey, SM

“…The QBO can affect the climate in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres through at least three dynamic pathways, including the stratospheric polar vortex pathway, the subtropical downward-arching zonal wind pathway, and the tropical convection pathway. …”

Life satisfaction and work-life balance: the complexities of gender patterning by Brooks, R, Fu, J, Maire, M

“…Conventionally, issues connected to work–life balance have been thought to concern women more than men – not least through the promotion of a strongly gendered discourse about the imperative to become a ‘balanced woman’. …”

Receiver design for the REACH global 21-cm signal experiment by Roque, ILV, Razavi-Ghods, N, Carey, SH, Ely, JA, Handley, W, Magro, A, Chiello, R, Huang, T, Alexander, P, Anstey, D, Bernardi, G, Bevins, HTJ, Cavillot, J, Croukamp, W, Cumner, J, de Lera Acedo, E, de Villiers, DIL, Fialkov, A, Gessey-Jones, T, Gueuning, Q, Josaitis, AT, Kulkarni, G, Leeney, SAK, Maiolino, R, Zarb-Adami, K

“…Following this, we share laboratory results based on the calculation of noise wave parameters utilising an over-constrained least squares approach. For five hours of integration on a custom-made source with comparable impedance to that of the antenna used in the field, we demonstrate a calibration RMSE of 80 mK. …”

Secularization versus religious revival in Eastern Europe: Church institutional resilience, state repression and divergent paths by Northmore-Ball, K, Evans, G

“…We argue that the current literature has thus taken a mistakenly general approach, and that the post-Communist region consists of at least two distinct groups of societies with different trends in religiosity.…”
