No full textMomentum dependent nucleon-nucleon contact interaction from a relativistic Lagrangian
No full textA complete set of parity- and time-reversal conserving relativistic
nucleon-nucleon contact operators is identified up to the order of the
expansion in soft momenta . A basis is also provided for the corresponding
non-relativistic operators contributing in the general reference frame. We show
that the non-relativistic expansions of the relativistic operators involve
twenty-six independent combinations, two starting at , seven at order
and seventeen at order . This gives supporting evidence to the
existence of two free low-energy constants which parametrize an interaction
depending on the total nucleon pair momentum , and were recently found
to be instrumental for the resolution of the long standing problem in
low-energy scattering. Furthermore, all remaining -dependent
interactions at the same order are uniquely determined as relativistic
corrections.Comment: Minor changes, added references, to appear in Physics Letters
Lavoratori o lavoratrici povere? Disuguaglianze di genere nel mercato del lavoro in Europa
No full textPovertà, lavoro e famiglia: una riflessione introduttiva
No full textIn-work poverty persists as a widespread and increasingly relevant issue. This is not only due to the economic and social consequences of the pandemic: This trend has been emerging together with other aftermaths of the 2008 economic crisis. For decades, millions of households in Europe (and beyond) have lived in conditions of poverty although one or more members are active in the labor market. Clarifying whether we are talking about impoverished work or working-poor households is therefore of primary importance as the two concepts refer to two different phenomena with different implications for policy design. In this introduction to the Special Issue definitions and substantive implications of the two concepts are at focus. We argued that for designing effective policy intervention against in-work poverty, it is necessary to recognize the complexity of the phenomenon by looking at both low wages and limited participation in the labour market, but also at households needs and redistributive process among household members, but especially from the state to the households
La multidimensionalità delle diseguaglianze abitative e il ruolo delle politiche
No full textThe introductory article of this special issue on housing social inequalities looks at the characteristics and challenges of housing policy interventions in Italy. It argues that the phenomenon of housing inequality is complex and multidimensional. It touches on questions such as mounting inequality, income poverty, life course transitions, productive sectors, policy areas among other questions. Therefore housing policies are a multi-dimensional issue that may have consequential contradictory effects. In this regard, a reflection on social mix is carried out: new policies of social mixing require critical attention with regard to their ability to produce an inclusive urban regeneration. Finally health inequalities related to housing conditions are also discussed, underlying the role of policies in reducing housing inequalities
Relativistic constraints on 3N contact interactions
No full textIn this paper we analyze the relativistic corrections to the leading order three-nucleon (3N) contact interactions. These boost corrections are derived first from the nonrelativistic reduction of covariant Lagrangians and later from the Poincare algebra constraints on nonrelativistic theories. We show that in order to describe the 3N potential in reference frames other than the center-of-mass frame, the inclusion of five additional terms with fixed coefficients is required. These terms will be relevant in systems with mass number A > 3. How they will affect EFT calculations of binding energies and scattering observables in these systems should be investigated
Individual and household in-work poverty in Europe: understanding the role of labor market characteristics
No full textThe article presents an analysis of the association between labor market characteristics related to female employment and the prevalence of in-work poverty. We compare two relative measures of in-work poverty: The individual definition refers to workers whose salary is below 60% of the median, while the household-level definition refers to individuals whose household income is below 60% of the median. Microdata from the 2014 EU-SILC survey and macrodata on involuntary part-time employment and female labor market participation are used to perform a multilevel analysis on 31 European countries. The results show a positive relationship between involuntary part-time work and in-work poverty according to the household definition. Female labor market participation is positively associated with the individual definition and negatively with the household one. However, after controlling for the level of within-country income inequality, only the effect of the female employment rate remains positive and significant for the individual in-work. These results shed light on the multifaceted role of labor market characteristics related to female employment and their implications for policy. We argue that the promotion of female participation should be combined with explicit measures to reduce the disadvantageous position of women in the labor market
Proprietà della casa e riproduzione delle disuguaglianze nella Legge di Stabilità per il 2016
No full textMarianna Filandri e Emanuela Struffolino esaminano gli effetti sulla disuguaglianza delle misure sulla casa contenute nella Legge di Stabilità del 2016. Dopo aver ricordato che in Italia la proprietà della casa è molto diffusa e, quindi, ad essa non è sempre associato uno stato di elevata prosperità e benessere, le autrici mostrano come, estendendo alcune esenzioni ai proprietari, la legge di Stabilità riproduca un sistema di diseguaglianze basate sulla proprietà che condizionerà negativamente le opportunità di molte famiglie e dei loro figli
Being Working Poor or Feeling Working Poor? The Role of Work Intensity and Job Stability for Subjective Poverty
No full textLow work intensity and high job instability are crucial micro-determinants of in-work poverty. Importantly, they might also affect subjective poverty in households that are above the poverty threshold. We contribute to the literature by studying the relationship between subjective and objective in-work poverty and how this relationship is affected by household members' job characteristics. We use data from the 2014 wave of the Italian module of the EU-SILC survey. Italy is an interesting case as-similarly to other Southern European countries-the share of individuals and households reporting subjective hardship is strikingly high compared to the levels reported in other EU areas. We find no statistically significant differences in the association between subjective poverty and different degrees of objective poverty by different levels of work intensity. Conversely, subjective poverty is positively associated with the instability of household members' job contracts. We argue that policies aimed at increasing work intensity rather than work stability might not help to reduce subjective poverty as well as its (negative) spillover effects on other life domains-such as well-being, adequate levels of consumption, and social integration
