Intergenerational Mobility Trends and the Changing Role of Female Labor
Using harmonized administrative data from Scandinavia, we find that intergenerational rank associations in income have increased uniformly across Sweden, Denmark, and Norway for cohorts born between 1951 and 1979. By gender, father-son mobility remains stable, while correlations for mothers and daughters rise. Similar patterns appear in US survey data, albeit with different timing. We show that the decline in income mobility reflects female income more accurately capturing underlying productivi…

Quantum-Ready Microwave Detection with Scalable Graphene Bolometers in the Strong Localization Regime
Exploiting quantum interference of charge carriers, epitaxial graphene grown on silicon carbide emerges as a game-changing platform for ultra-sensitive bolometric sensing, featuring an intrinsic resistive thermometer response unmatched by any other graphene variant. By achieving low and uniform carrier densities, we have accessed a new regime of strong charge localization that dramatically reduces thermal conductance, significantly enhancing bolometer performance. Here we present scalable graph…

Interstellar Polarization Survey. V. Galactic magnetic field tomography in the spiral arms using optical and near-infrared starlight polarization
Interstellar linear polarization occurs when starlight passes through elongated dust grains aligned by interstellar magnetic fields. The observed polarization can come from different dust structures along the line of sight (LOS). By combining polarization measurements with stellar distances, we can study the plane-of-sky Galactic magnetic field (GMF) between the observer and the star and separate the contributions of clouds with different GMF properties. We used optical and near-infrared (NIR) …

Followerpower if you're from Sweden: I'm trying to figure out how to get around some places near Stockholm. There are some bus stops in a nature reserve, e.g., Järflottvägen (part of Nynäshamn), but the swedish rail webpage sj.se does not find this bus stop. Several sources say there are busses stopping there (lines 848,852), but only thirdparty sources, none look like the bus operator. Should I assume this bus is operating, and where would I find its official timetable and ticket in…

The First Compute Arms Race: the Early History of Numerical Weather Prediction
This paper traces the global race to apply early electronic computers to numerical weather prediction in the decades following World War Two. A brief overview of the early history of numerical weather prediction in the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, Canada, and Japan is provided. Three critical factors that shaped the development of a national numerical weather prediction are identified: compute capabilities, institution building and state capacity, and talent. Several generalizable les…

The Everyday Security of Living with Conflict
When `cyber' is used as a prefix, attention is typically drawn to the technological and spectacular aspects of war and conflict -- and, by extension, security. We offer a different approach to engaging with and understanding security in such contexts, by foregrounding the everyday -- mundane -- experiences of security within communities living with and fleeing from war. We do so through three vignettes from our field research in Colombia, Lebanon and Sweden, respectively, and by highlighting th…

Did you know if you are outside your home country and purchase something using #PayPal in a foreign currency and then download your transactions in a CSV from PayPal you get the transactions in the foreign currency?
I couldn't figure out why I had all these strange charges...ends up it was when I was in #Sweden - for #Uber rides. 🥴
Not sure this is the wrong way to do it, but it certainly has made trying to put together my #taxes confusing. 😂

I think my traveling is cursed 😭
Whenever I take a longer trip by train and/or bus, something goes wrong or there is a sudden delay.
My wife can take the exact same connection, and everything goes smoothly.
It started when I wanted to move to Sweden almost 20 years ago and the bus never showed up, continued with getting stranded in Lahti (Finland) at 2 in the morning and needing to take a taxi for 2h with two other travellers, and currently I'm on my way to #Stockholm via #snalltaget and we're stuck in Malmö because they suddenly needed to get rid of two train cars.
