Advances in labour‐saving technology have sparked a public debate about the ‘Future of Work’. An important role in this debate is played by policy‐focused literature produced by institutions such as ...government agencies, international organisations, think tanks, and consulting firms. Using qualitative coding, the present study analyses this ‘grey’ literature (a total of 195 documents published in English 2013–2018) with a focus on what problem perceptions, frames, and policy recommendations prevail in this literature. We find that the dominant narrative treats technological advances as a prime cause of challenges in the labour market and places the main responsibility on the shoulders of individuals in the form of ‘upskilling’. We show how versions of this narrative vary across different types of institutions, what types of organisations are the most prolific publishers of policy papers in this space, and we offer a critique of dominant narratives within the ‘Future of Work’ discourse.

Drawing upon 152 in-depth qualitative interviews with residents in Austria carried out in the first year of the pandemic, this article discusses how people’s experiences with COVID-19 policies ...reflect and reshape state–citizen relations. Coinciding with a significant government crisis, the first year of COVID-19 in Austria saw pandemic measures justified with reference to a biological, often medical understanding of health that framed disease prevention in terms of transmission reduction, often with reference to metrics such as hospitalisation rates, etc. Instead of using this biomedical frame, our interviewees, however, drew attention to biopsychosocial dimensions of the crisis and problematised the entanglements between economy and health. We call this the emergence of a
biosocial
notion of citizenship that is attentive to psychological, social and economic dimensions of health. Insights into the biosocial nature of pandemic citizenship open a window of opportunity for addressing long-standing social injustices.

The authors present a unified treatment of basic topics that arise in Fourier analysis. Their intention is to illustrate the role played by the structure of Euclidean spaces, particularly the action ...of translations, dilatations, and rotations, and to motivate the study of harmonic analysis on more general spaces having an analogous structure, e.g., symmetric spaces.

An outstanding challenge in single-molecule localization microscopy is the accurate and precise localization of individual point emitters in three dimensions in densely labeled samples. One ...established approach for three-dimensional single-molecule localization is point-spread-function (PSF) engineering, in which the PSF is engineered to vary distinctively with emitter depth using additional optical elements. However, images of dense emitters, which are desirable for improving temporal resolution, pose a challenge for algorithmic localization of engineered PSFs, due to lateral overlap of the emitter PSFs. Here we train a neural network to localize multiple emitters with densely overlapping Tetrapod PSFs over a large axial range. We then use the network to design the optimal PSF for the multi-emitter case. We demonstrate our approach experimentally with super-resolution reconstructions of mitochondria and volumetric imaging of fluorescently labeled telomeres in cells. Our approach, DeepSTORM3D, enables the study of biological processes in whole cells at timescales that are rarely explored in localization microscopy.

Meteorites contain records of past magnetic fields in the form of natural remanent magnetization (NRM). A key property of meteorite magnetization that provides information about its origin is its ...dependence on spatial scale. In particular, understanding how the mean remanent magnetization varies from the scale of meteorites to the global scale of their parent bodies would aid in the interpretation of spacecraft magnetometry data. However, the vast majority of meteorite samples whose remanent magnetization have been measured have sizes <10 cm due to the limited size range accommodated by laboratory magnetometers. To address this limitation, we developed a portable magnetometer array that enables remanence measurements of meter‐size meteorites in a non‐magnetically shielded environment. The instrument measures both NRM and induced magnetization using two orthogonal square Helmholtz coil pairs that compensate the vertical and horizontal components of the background magnetic field. An array of four magnetometers mounted on a movable aluminum rail measures the magnetic field at multiple locations around the sample. The instrument is transportable and can be adapted to different sample sizes. After distinguishing the induced component from the remanent component of a sample's total field, the remanence can be estimated from a multipole field inversion combined with nonlinear least squares method. We validated the instrument and data processing on a magnet of known magnetic moment and measured the NRM of a meter‐sized iron meteorite.
Plain Language Summary
Meteorites are remnant fragments of planetary bodies. Their physical properties reflect the history of their environment and that of on their parent bodies. In particular, some meteorites preserve records of past magnetic fields experienced on their parent asteroids in the form of natural remanent magnetization. This remanence can be probed by spacecraft magnetometers to infer the intensity and direction of ancient magnetizing fields. However, it is unclear how to relate global scale measurements of planetary magnetization to that of meteorites measured in the laboratory. A major limitation is that the scaling of meteorite magnetization with size is largely unknown. Establishing such scaling requires measuring the remanent magnetizations of larger and larger meteorites. However, nearly all meteorites previously analyzed were typically smaller than ∼10 cm in diameter owing to the limited size and portability of the instruments. To facilitate the measurements of larger meteorites, we designed and built a portable instrument that enables measurements of the remanent and induced magnetizations of meter‐size meteorites at their storage location. We validated the instrument performance against a sample of known magnetic moment and then used it to measure a large iron meteorite.
Key Points
Understanding planetary remanent magnetism benefits from measurements at spatial scales ranging from hand samples to global maps
We designed a portable magnetometer array and data processing that allows on‐site magnetic measurements of up to meter‐size objects
This system enables estimation of the net magnetic moment of some of the largest known meteorites on Earth
