This chapter aims to provide an introductory account of conceptions of natural rights in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. That is, of how human beings were considered to hold certain rights by virtue of their human nature or as conferred by natural law. It will show how conceptions of natural rights differed, as embedded in different theoretical frameworks, and were put to different politi
This essential primary-source reader brings together documents collected over decades of research into security agency tradecraft and Chinese Cold War-era human intelligence. Michael Schoenhals' expert translation of the texts teases out meanings from memoranda, decodes marginal notes from senior officers, and unpacks the hastily scribbled communications of covert human assets. Together, these sou
Purpose: Genital malformations are increasingly recognized when a VACTERL is present, but remain insufficiently described in children with esophageal atresia (EA). This study aimed to determine the prevalence and spectrum of genital and urinary tract malformations in children with EA, and to describe associated morbidity, need for additional surgery, and association with Gross classification. Meth
This article examines gender and cultural sense-making in relation to perfumesand their packaging. Gendered meanings of seduction, choice, consumption andtaste are brought to the fore with the use of go-along interviews with consumers inperfume stores. Meeting luxury packages in this feminized environment made theinterviewed women speak of bottles as objects to fall in love with and they described
Fashion bloggers In the mid 2000s, the fashion blogger appeared as a new media figure. The young women who wrote about fashion, shopping, and private lives aroused rapid criticism from the established media because of their huge impact. The emergence of fashion, beauty - and shopping blogging is a further development of a culturally defined combination between femininity and consumption that is bo
This article focuses on labour processes among workers in retail in Sweden. It is a study of the commodification of body and affect in a field organized around commercial exchange and builds on participant observations in stores and thirty interviews with workers in different fields of retail (fashion, perfume, home electronic and diy-stores). Retailing is a part of the service economy that is sig
I 2018 års regleringsbrev fick Naturvårdsverket i uppdrag att genomföra informationsinsatser för att höja kunskapsnivåerna hos svenska konsumenter om en mer hållbar konsumtion av textilier. Insatser som genomförs inom uppdraget ska omfatta konsumenters kunskap om textiliers miljö- och hälsopåverkan i alla led i värdekedjan. Arbetet genomförs i samarbete med Konsumentverket och Kemikalieinspektione
The pursuit of a unifying theory for non-BCS superconductivity has faced significant challenges. One approach to overcome such challenges is to perform systematic investigations into superconductors containing d-electron metals in order to elucidate their underlying mechanisms. Recently, the Sc6MTe2 (M = d-electron metal) family has emerged as a unique series of isostructural compounds exhibiting
The exploration of tunable superconductivity in strongly correlated electron systems is a central pursuit in condensed matter physics, with implications for both fundamental understanding and potential applications. The Laves phase CeRu2, a pyrochlore compound, exhibits a three-dimensional (3D) kagome lattice type geometry giving rise to flat bands and degenerate Dirac points, where band structure
Identifying high-temperature unconventional charge order and superconductivity in kagome systems is crucial for understanding frustrated, correlated electrons and enabling future quantum technologies. Here, we report that the kagome superconductor YRu3Si2 hosts an exceptional interplay of charge order, magnetism, and superconductivity, revealed through a comprehensive suite of muon spin rotation (
Gaining a deeper understanding of the interplay between charge density wave (CDW) order and superconductivity in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), particularly within the (4H/2H)-NbX2 (X=Se and S) family, remains an open and intriguing challenge. A systematic microscopic study across various compounds in this family is therefore required to unravel this complex interplay. Here, we report on
The Kagome lattice has emerged as a promising platform for hosting unconventional chiral charge orders at high temperatures. In the context of the correlated Kagome superconductor LaRu3Si2, a room-temperature charge-ordered state with a propagation vector of ((Formula presented.), 0, 0) is previously reported. However, understanding the interplay between this charge order and superconductivity, pa
The interplay between superconductivity and charge or spin order is a key focus in condensed matter physics, with kagome lattice systems providing unique insights. The kagome superconductor LaRu3Si2 (Tc ≃ 6.5 K) features a characteristic kagome band structure and a hierarchy of charge order transitions at Tco,I ≃ 400 K and Tco,II ≃ 80 K, along with an additional transition at T* ≃ 35 K associated
The cuprate superconductor La2−xBaxCuO4 (LBCO) near x = 0.125 is a striking example of intertwined electronic orders, where 3D superconductivity is anomalously suppressed, allowing spin and charge stripe order to develop. Understanding this interplay remains a key challenge in cuprates, highlighting the necessity of external tuning for deeper insight. While in-plane uniaxial stress enhances superc
Understanding how time-reversal symmetry (TRS) breaks in quantum materials is key to uncovering new states of matter and advancing quantum technologies. However, unraveling the interplay between TRS breaking, charge order, and superconductivity in kagome metals continues to be a compelling challenge. Here, we investigate the kagome metal Cs(V1−xNbx)3Sb5 with x = 0.07 using muon spin rotation (μSR)
The kagome lattice is an intriguing and rich platform for discovering, tuning and understanding the diverse phases of quantum matter, crucial for advancing modern and future electronics. Despite considerable efforts, accessing correlated phases at room temperature has been challenging. Using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, we discovered charge order above room temperature in La(Ru1−xFex)3Si2 (x
We report on the effect of magnetic impurities on the microscopic superconducting (SC) properties of the kagome-lattice superconductor La(Ru1-xFex)3Si2 using muon spin relaxation/rotation. A strong suppression of the superconducting critical temperature Tc, the SC volume fraction, and the superfluid density was observed. We further find a correlation between the superfluid density and Tc which is
The breaking of time-reversal symmetry (TRS) in the normal state of kagome superconductors AV3Sb5 stands out as a significant feature, but its tunability is unexplored. Using low-energy muon spin rotation and local field numerical analysis, we study TRS breaking as a function of depth in single crystals of RbV3Sb5 (with charge order) and Cs(V0.86Ta0.14)3Sb5 (without charge order). In the bulk of R
Vacancies in solid-state physics are underexplored in materials with strong electron-electron correlations. Recent research on the Ir-Sb binary system revealed an extended buckled-honeycomb vacancy (BHV) order. Superconductivity arises by suppressing BHV ordering through high-pressure growth with excess Ir atoms or Rh substitution, yet the superconducting pairing nature remains unknown. To explore
