South Korea has the highest gender pay gap and the lowest fertility rate in the OECD (OECD Data, n.y.). Gender equity theory suggests that there is a link between high gender inequality and low fertility, as women struggle to have both a career and a family. A growing share of Korean women are voluntarily childless, referred to as the Sampo Generation, giving up dating, marriage, and children, to
We use data from the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) and the Tycho-Gaia astrometric solution (TGAS) catalogue to compute the velocity fields yielded by the radial (VR), azimuthal (Vϕ),and vertical (Vz) components of associated Galactocentric velocity. We search in particular for variation in all three velocity components with distance above and below the disc midplane, as well as how each compon
Adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy has the potential to eradicate micrometastases within the irradiated field but has not resulted in survival improvements in randomized studies. This illustrates the need for systemic therapy. Chemotherapy, mainly with anthracyclines, platinum compounds, and taxanes, renders high response rates although this unfortunately translates in only modest improvements in progre
The genetic variance-covariance matrix (G) has long been considered to summarize the genetic constraints biasing evolution in its early stages, although in some instances, G can enhance divergence and facilitate adaptation. However, the effects of G on the response to selection might be of less importance than previously thought. In addition, it has been suggested that selection itself, under cert
Nyckelord: Media, väktare, vakthund, informationsförmedlare, tystnad Studiens syfte: Syftet med studien är att utvärdera hur väl media uppfyller sin roll som väktare i sin vardagliga rapportering i Sverige. För att ta reda på detta undersöks även om det skiljer sig mellan affärspress och annan media, samt vad det innebär för medias väktarroll när de inte rapporterar alls. Frågeställningar: Vi haKey words: Media, gatekeeper, watchdog, information intermediary, silence Purpose of the study: The purpose of the study is to evaluate how well the media fulfills its role as gatekeepers in their everyday reporting within Sweden. In addition, the difference between how business press and other press fulfill their roles will also be examined, as well as what it means when the media does not repor
Mojtaba Khamenei’s rise to Iran’s supreme leadership represents the consolidation of dynastic power within the Islamic Republic. Long operating behind the scenes through the Supreme Leader’s office and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, he has been widely viewed as the most likely successor to his father. His leadership signals continuity with the regime’s totalitarian structure and suggests a furt
This article analyses existing assumptions about state identity within contemporary International Relations theory, arguing that the quest for the identity of the state leads to either circularity or regress. Departing from commonsensical criteria of self-identity such as indivisibility, distinctness and spatiotemporal continuity, this article examines how these criteria are interpreted and applie
