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. …”

Associations of accelerometer-measured physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep with next-day cognitive performance in older adults: a micro-longitudinal study by Bloomberg, M, Brocklebank, L, Doherty, A, Hamer, M, Steptoe, A

“…Each 30-min increase in SB was associated with working memory scores 0.05 SD (0.00 to 0.09) lower (p = 0.03); adjustment for sleep characteristics on the previous night did not substantively change these results. …”

Effect of heat-producing needling technique on the local skin temperature : clinical dataset by Liao, Zehuan, Zhao, Yan

“…Within each session, the local ST36 skin temperature and basal body temperature of each participant were measured at 1 min before needle insertion, just after needle insertion and manipulation (if any), 5 min after needle insertion with needle removal immediately after temperature taking, and 5 min after needle removal. …”

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on behaviors in physical activity, sleep quality and usage of sport facilities in university students by Lim, Qing Feng

“…Sedentary (sitting) behaviour was seen to increase by an average of 90.5 min/day (p < .001). There were also a decreased in the booking frequency in sports facilities (2.1 to 1.6, p < .001) and time spent in a sports facility (127 to 51.6 min/week, p < .001). …”

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°. …”

HiPIMS deposition of VO2 thermochromic coating for enhanced optical properties by Vu, Tuan Duc

“…The Greta-oto butterfly has transparent wings with extraordinary omnidirectional anti-reflection behaviour, owing to the unusual nanostructures with random height and space distribution on its wing surface which are difficult to reproduce en masse. …”

Local-flexural interactive buckling of S690 high strength steel slender welded I-section columns: testing, modelling and design by Sun, Yao, Liang, Yating, Su, Andi, Zhao, Ou

“…A testing programme, adopting two S690 high strength steel slender welded I-sections, was firstly conducted and included initial geometric imperfection measurements and ten pin-ended column tests. The testing programme was accompanied by a numerical modelling programme, where finite element models were developed and validated against the test results and then employed to perform parametric studies to generate further numerical data over a wide range of cross-section dimensions and member effective lengths. …”
