Disasters exacerbate pre-existing gender inequalities, rendering women vulnerable to various forms of harm. Nevertheless, women are not victims to be protected by men; rather, they play a significant role in post-disaster recovery.

Through an idea analysis that utilizes an ideal type of populism, this study seeks to find out how the use of populist ideas has changed over time in conference speeches by four consecutive Labour Party leaders between the years 1998 and 2018. The method for this idea analysis is based on Göran Bergström’s and Per-Anders Svärd’s theories on an ideal type-based idea analysis. The theoretical framew
In light of the growing “coherence” between humanitarianism and political actions in today’s world, does aid remain conducive to socio-economic improvement, or does it inhibit the ushering of much needed change? In the context of this study, the besieged population of Gaza organized large weekly demonstrations known as the Great Return March (2018-2020) to demand their basic political, economic an

Unemployment insurance generosity is proxied
BACKGROUND: Counting very low levels of leukocytes is technically challenging but mandatory for quality control of leukocyte-depleted plasma. Established assays, such as flow cytometry and counting in the Nageotte chamber, are laborious and expensive. The aim of this study was to test two alternative assays, the cerebrospinal fluid program in the routine hematology analyzer ADVIA 2120 and a fluore
