This paper examines how expanding the legal definition of sexual assault affects fertility and sexual behavior, using a panel of European countries. I find that switching to tacit consent-based legislation reduces fertility by about 4% relative to the mean. This effect is driven by a decrease in couple formation and an increase in abortion rates. Supporting evidence is consistent with a behavioralThis paper examines how expanding the legal definition of sexual assault affects fertility and sexual behavior, using a panel of European countries.

This open access book asks whether international economic crime can qualify as an international crime and be prosecuted as such.Taking a four-part approach to the question, it traces the origins of the concept of international economic crime, and draws the line between ordinary economic crimes and economic offences of international significance. To this end, it examines six cases involving the com

Arbetsgivare är skyldiga att undersöka risker för diskriminering och hinder för lika rättigheter och därefter vidta aktiva förebyggande åtgärder. Samtidigt är hbtq-personer ofta utsatta för diskriminering på sina arbetsplatser. I den här artikeln syntetiseras resultat från forskningsprojektet “[anonymiserat]” i en analys som tar avstamp i diskrimineringslagens krav. Resultaten visar att hbtq-perso

This article presents a critical edition and analysis of a short 16th-century medical treatise entitled Fī bayān aḥwāl al-qaḥwa wa-ḫāṣṣiyyatihā wa-manāfiʿihā, attributed to the Ottoman court physician Muḥammad Badr al-Dīn al-Qūṣūnī. The base manuscript, preserved in Leiden University Libraries as Or. 945:16 (fol. 58r), is collated against two later versions: Ragıb Paşa, K. No. 1482, ff. 56 r–56 v,

On Phlebotomy invites you into the world of medieval medicine through the practice of phlebotomy. This bilingual edition presents Maqāla fī l-Faṣd and its medieval Hebrew translation, Maʾamar baHaqqaza, attributed to the Persian physician Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Zakariyyāʾ al-Rāzī (d. 925). Divided into two parts, the volume provides a critical edition, English translation, and commentary for both w

Previous research has reported mental health disparities between adolescents who truant from school and those who attend school regularly. However, it remains unclear how social support is associated with mental health outcomes across levels of truancy. We investigate whether social support has similar mental health benefits for all adolescents who truant from school or whether it plays a bufferin

The History of Education as History of Knowledge brings together international scholars to explore how the emerging field of the history of knowledge can enrich the well-established history of education. While recent research in the history of knowledge has examined actors, practices, and institutions of knowledge, this volume is the first to focus systematically on sources and methodologies withi

Inland surface waters are vital for the global carbon, energy, and water cycles; however, they are affected by climate change and human activities. Continuous monitoring of Water Surface Elevation (WSE) is essential for assessing water quantity and ensuring sustainable management. Traditional in-situ WSE measurements often face high costs and accessibility challenges. This study examines the use o

This paper investigates how voluntary sustainability commitments shape lenders’ integration of biodiversity risks into credit allocation, comparing UNEP FI–committed and non-committed lenders. Using global syndicated loan data (2018–2023) matched with firm-level measures of biodiversity impact and dependency, we find that all lenders extend smaller loans to more biodiversity-dependent firms. consi

This paper examines whether biodiversity and climate risks are reflected in equity returns and how investor attention affects the pricing dynamics. Using firm-level indicators of biodiversity impact, dependency, and climate transition and physical risks, we form long-short portfolios based on firms’ environmental exposure. We find that low-risk firms earn higher abnormal returns than high-risk fir

Using a unique dataset that defines sustainability initiatives as concrete firm-level sustainability actions, this study examines firms’ biodiversity-related initiatives, their links to underlying biodiversity risks, and whether financial markets value them. We find that biodiversity-related initiatives are concentrated in community engagement activities, such as marketing campaigns and donations.

Evidence is limited for the association between parental income during childhood and adolescence and the subsequent risk of drug use disorder (DUD) in the second generation and whether the association is modified by region of origin. Identifying the association and effect modification by immigrant background and region of origin would provide an important knowledge base to consider tailored polici

Understanding the quality of eye-tracking recordings, often characterized using accuracy, precision, and data loss, is crucial for the interpretation of eye tracking data. Eye-tracking data quality can furthermore place fundamental limits on what studies can be conducted with an eye tracker, and one may be required to report eye-tracking data quality when publishing a study. However, how does one

Numerous patients with psoriasis will associate disease triggers to changes in disease activity over time. Modern treatments induce remission, but relapse is common if the treatment is stopped. Exploring patients' first-hand experiences is a key starting point to identify triggers that may influence disease relapse. A cross-sectional digital questionnaire was distributed to 2716 individuals with p

BACKGROUND: Drug-coated balloons (DCB) are frequently used during percutaneous coronary intervention. Despite this there are limited data from studies comparing different types of DCB, particularly for a paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB) using urea as the excipient. This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of the PCB with urea compared with other frequently used DCB, attempting to emulate a

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a disease that evolves slowly over years with few options for curative treatment. Improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is therefore an important treatment goal. This study aims to contribute to a better understanding of HRQoL, using a dermatology-adapted HRQoL questionnaire, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), in patients with MF. Baseline data from a cohor
