The impact of unemployment insurance on job creation

Unemployment insurances are perceived as major benefits to support workers in their job findings. This thesis contributes to the pre-existent literature through researching the impact of the unemployment benefits on the companies’ hirings and permanent layoffs, due to a lack of research on this matter. Using state and firm-specific variables, this study analyses the absolute and percentage impact on number of companies’ employees. For two of the overall performed regression models, higher amounts of unemployment insurances seem to impact positively the number of companies’ employees

Prevalência do infarto agudo do miocárdio em mulheres e fatores de risco associados

This article aims to analyze the risk factors associated with acute myocardial infarction in women. The study is an Integrative Literature Review based on a retrospective cross-sectional study of a descriptive nature and a qualitative data approach. The research was carried out in six stages: elaboration of the research question; search and sampling – establishment of inclusion and exclusion criteria; data extraction; evaluation and critical analysis of the data obtained; analysis and synthesis of studies with interpretation of results; presentation of the review. For the guiding research question, the PICO strategy was considered. The selection of articles was made in the databases PubMed, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online (MedLine), Science Direct and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs). In the search strategy, combinations of descriptors were considered according to the indications of each database, namely the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) of the Virtual Health Library (VHL) and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). The most prevalent risk factors associated with acute myocardial infarction in women are: advanced age, hormone replacement therapy, use of oral contraceptives, genetic predisposition and emotional overload. Therefore, it is important to encourage health education related to search strategies aimed at early diagnosis of this clinical condition in females. Targeted anamnesis is essential for the aforementioned condition in order to obtain a good prognosis.Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar los factores de riesgo asociados al infarto agudo de miocardio en la mujer.

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Differential cross section measurements for the production of a W boson in association with jets in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV

Measurements are reported of differential cross sections for the production of a W boson, which decays into a muon and a neutrino, in association with jets, as a function of several variables, including the transverse momenta (pT) and pseudorapidities of the four leading jets, the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta (HT), and the difference in azimuthal angle between the directions of each jet and the muon. The data sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb[superscript −1]. The measured cross sections are compared to predictions from Monte Carlo generators, MadGraph + pythia and sherpa, and to next-to-leading-order calculations from BlackHat + sherpa. The differential cross sections are found to be in agreement with the predictions, apart from the pT distributions of the leading jets at high pT values, the distributions of the HT at high-HT and low jet multiplicity, and the distribution of the difference in azimuthal angle between the leading jet and the muon at low values.United States.

Juxtaposing BTE and ATE – on the role of the European insurance industry in funding civil litigation

One of the ways in which legal services are financed, and indeed shaped, is through private insurance arrangement. Two contrasting types of legal expenses insurance contracts (LEI) seem to dominate in Europe: before the event (BTE) and after the event (ATE) legal expenses insurance. Notwithstanding institutional differences between different legal systems, BTE and ATE insurance arrangements may be instrumental if government policy is geared towards strengthening a market-oriented system of financing access to justice for individuals and business. At the same time, emphasizing the role of a private industry as a keeper of the gates to justice raises issues of accountability and transparency, not readily reconcilable with demands of competition. Moreover, multiple actors (clients, lawyers, courts, insurers) are involved, causing behavioural dynamics which are not easily predicted or influenced. Against this background, this paper looks into BTE and ATE arrangements by analysing the particularities of BTE and ATE arrangements currently available in some European jurisdictions and by painting a picture of their respective markets and legal contexts. This allows for some reflection on the performance of BTE and ATE providers as both financiers and keepers. Two issues emerge from the analysis that are worthy of some further reflection. Firstly, there is the problematic long-term sustainability of some ATE products. Secondly, the challenges faced by policymakers that would like to nudge consumers into voluntarily taking out BTE LEI
