Impact of electron correlations on two-particle charge response in electron- and hole-doped cuprates by Abhishek Nag, Luciano Zinni, Jaewon Choi, J. Li, Sijia Tu, A. C. Walters, S. Agrestini, S. M. Hayden, Matías Bejas, Zefeng Lin, H. Yamase, Kui Jin, M. García-Fernández, J. Fink, Andrés Greco, Ke-Jin Zhou

“…The t-J-V model, which includes the correlation effects implicitly, accurately describes the plasmon dispersions as resonant excitations outside the single-particle intraband continuum. In comparison, a quantitative description of the plasmon dispersion in the RPA approach is obtained only upon explicit consideration of renormalized electronic band parameters. …”

Skill acquisition in TVET and access to employment in Nigeria: a gender perspective by Immaculata E. Emah, Philippe Doneys, Kyoko Kusakabe, Shubham Pathak

“…IntroductionGender roles define women’s involvement in skilled labour, leaving women with low skills and income while responsible for devalued household work. This study sought to determine gender bias in skills acquired by TVET employees (graduates) and the impact of gender on employment opportunities of TVET graduates who are employees in TVET business organisations.MethodA construct of 5 hard skills and 7 soft skill sets was made from the literature to assess skill acquisition from employees in seven TVET fields: Business studies, radio, television, and electronics (RTE) repair, automobile vehicle repairs, block laying, bricklaying and concreting, electrical installation, hotel management and catering, and welding and fabrication.ResultsResponses from a survey questionnaire and quantitative data analysis revealed no gender difference in the courses taken by TVET graduates (χ2 = 2.82; df = 6; p = 0.831). …”
