@IABnews.bsky.social : Nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten kommt die Arbeitsmarktintegration ukrainischer Geflüchteter voran. Das ist eine positive Entwicklung. Es ist schwer verständlich, warum die Bundesregierung durch den geplanten Rechtskreiswechsel für neu eingereiste ukrainische Geflüchtete…

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!

"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

Scientists no Longer Find Twitter Professionally Useful, and have Switched to Bluesky

Synopsis. Social media has become widely used by the scientific community for a variety of professional uses, including networking and public outreach. For

And it nicely illustrates why an integrated electricity grid could help smoothen electricity demand over a full day.

If the Nobel Committee truly intended to recognize the formalization of Schumpeter’s concept of creative destruction, they might at least have included Sidney Winter, with Dick Nelson (sadly) no longer among us.

Yep, the difference still shows in the small things ...

The only disappointing thing in this setting - a baguette.

Fresh, colorful autumn forest and a Bratwurst (technically a Krakauer). Perfect combination.

North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most populous state, held local elections today. Support for AfD up but at 15% well below party's national polling. And lower among the young: 5th place on 11% among under-25s, who also delivered a smaller swing towards the party than did older generations.

Tom Broekel @tbroekel.bsky.social · Sep 14

No, it is not wrong, they really try to make it as comparable as possible. Obviously, there are a lot of deviations and approximations. Comparisons across systems are really difficult. I find it pretty interesting.

Der Index kontrolliert nicht für die Größe der Institutionen, d.h. absolute Größe ist hier die Kernaussage.

Sprich, es werden für verbeamtet Professoren der implizite Erwerb der Pensionsansprüche berücksichtigt sowie die Unterstützung zur Krankenversicherung

Imputed social benefits are added to gross salary. The imputation uses the standard contribution rates from the OECD Taxing Wages model (for a single worker, age 40, no children), applied to the gross salary.

164000 für eine Professur wirkt schon arg hoch, vor allem, wenn das ein Mittelwert sein soll. Leider verteilt sich die Methodik über mehrere PDFs. Aber vielleicht hat ja sich ja schon jemand durchgewühlt?
