Gender equality or employment promotion? The politicization of parental leave policy in Finland by Nygard, Mikael, Nyby, Josefine, Kuisma, Mikko

“…We argue that ideological factors delayed a reform of the leave system in a more gender-equal way, since left-wing parties did not only put more emphasis on gender equality and state-regulated leave quotas for fathers than conservatives, they also did so for somewhat other reasons connected with the Social Investment paradigm. …”

Blowing active flow control on FFA-W3-270 airfoil model by Kathiresan, Kabiilesh, Imisi Oluwa, Abiola, Mat, Shabudin, Abdullahi, Yahaya Daura, Jafari Gahraz, Seyed Reza, Mat Lazim, Tholudin, Musa, Nur Amalina

“…During the experiments, the blowing has been conducted at three different location across the wing. The experiment has been conducted at two Reynolds numbers of Re = 0.8 × 106 and 1.0 × 106, the angle of attack was varied from 0° until 14°. …”

Organic donor-acceptor cocrystals for multiferroic applications by Wang, Zongrui, Zhang, Qichun

“…The cocrystallization strategy has provided an efficient route to fulfill room temperature magnetoelectricity in single phase owing to the long-range ordered π-π stacking (donor-acceptor assembled) network, long-lived excitons (with μs lifetime), spin orders (±1/2 s pin) and charge transfer (CT) dipoles in the assembled crystal lattice. …”

The Portevin-Le Chatelier effect of Cu-2.0Be alloy during hot compression by Zhu, Daibo, Wu, Na, Liu, Yang, Liu, Xiaojin, Jiang, Chaohua, Jiang, Yanbin, Zhao, Hongyun, Cui, Shuhui, Xie, Guilan

“…As the strain rate increases, the dislocations outpace the diffusion speed of the solute atoms, limiting their ability to effectively pin the dislocations, resulting in lower dislocation density and serration amplitude. …”

Compatability and equilibrium approach to slender concrete column design (dual project) by Toh, Yi Hui

“…This report evaluates and compares the proposed design method with the Australian code AS3600-2001 for slender concrete column. The failure loads of pin-end columns under short term loading and uniaxial bending are used as a pre-determined factor to analyse the data. …”

Conformable ultrasound breast patch for deep tissue scanning and imaging by Du, Wenya, Zhang, Lin, Suh, Emma, Lin, Dabin, Marcus, Colin, Ozkan, Lara, Ahuja, Avani, Fernandez, Sara, Shuvo, Ikra Iftekhar, Sadat, David, Liu, Weiguo, Li, Fei, Chandrakasan, Anantha P., Ozmen, Tolga, Dagdeviren, Canan

“…The in vitro studies and clinical trials reveal that the array using a piezoelectric crystal [Yb/Bi-Pb(In <jats:sub>1</jats:sub> <jats:sub>/2</jats:sub> Nb <jats:sub>1/2</jats:sub> )O <jats:sub>3</jats:sub> -Pb(Mg <jats:sub>1/</jats:sub> <jats:sub>3</jats:sub> Nb <jats:sub>2/3</jats:sub> )O <jats:sub>3</jats:sub> -PbTiO <jats:sub>3</jats:sub> ] (Yb/Bi-PIN-PMN-PT) exhibits a sufficient contrast resolution (~3 dB) and axial/lateral resolutions of 0.25/1.0 mm at 30 mm depth, allowing the observation of small cysts (~0.3 cm) in the breast. …”

Piezoelectric single crystal based one-dimensional phased array for breast tissue imaging by Du, Wenya

“…In this thesis, I propose a conformable ultrasound breast patch (cUSBr-Patch) consisting of a one-dimensional (1D) phased array and a nature-inspired patch design, which offers large-area, deep tissue scanning and multi-angle, repeatable breast imaging while avoiding the drawbacks of conventional ultrasound imaging technologies. I used a Yb/Bi-doped PIN-PMN-PT single crystal as the active element due to its superior piezoelectric properties (d33 = 2,800 pC/N, εr = 7,000, k33 = 0.93). …”
