The Paro seal robot: demeaning or enabling?

The Paro seal robot resembles a baby harp seal, and has been designed as a therapeutic robot for use with older people, particularly those with dementia. Its behaviours encourage nurturing behaviour: it has an appealing face, cries out like a seal, and responds to stroking (or hitting). In this paper, claims about the positive effects that the seal robot has on the health and well being of thos...

Competitiveness and the gender gap among young business professionals

Although the gender gap in earnings has been decreasing over time, it still persists in many professions such as business. Gender differences in competitiveness have been proposed as an important explanation for the remaining earnings differential. Using a laboratory experiment to measure competitiveness, this paper investigates whether this measure explains the gender gap in earnings in a samp...

Weight Structures and Simple Dg Modules for Positive Dg Algebras

Using techniques due to Dwyer–Greenlees–Iyengar we construct weight structures in triangulated categories generated by compact objects. We apply our result to show that, for a dg category whose homology vanishes in negative degrees and is semi-simple in degree 0, each simple module over the homology lifts to a dg module which is unique up to isomorphism in the derived category. This allows us, ...
