Fragile Gains
International migrants are increasingly shaping the population health of high-income countries, yet existing research has treated immigrants as a single, homogenous group when estimating their impact on national life expectancy. Moreover, European research has only studied the impact of immigrants up until 2019—before the COVID-19 pandemic. Using Swedish total population administrative register data from 2010 to 2023, we calculate period life exp…
High-performance 3D morphometrics via deep learning and tabular foundation models
This study explores the integration of advanced 3D morphometric techniques and machine/deep learning (ML/DL) for the analysis of complex shapes. In this study, cereal grains were employed to develop a series of complex 3D classification tasks, aiming to improve previous 2D-based classifications of barley grain origins, type, and landrace. Traditional geometric morphometric methods in archaeobotany, typically reliant on 2D data, are expanded here …
Against the grain
International migrants and their children represent increasing shares of the populations of major host countries and have growing potential to affect estimates of national mortality. Yet, while many studies have observed mortality differences between migrants, their children, and the majority population, few have progressed beyond this point to quantify the actual impact of these differences upon national life expectancy levels. Studies that have…
Lives saved, lives lost, and under-reported Covid-19 deaths
BACKGROUND: The number of confirmed COVID-19 deaths differed across countries and across waves of the pandemic. Patterns also differed between groups within a country. OBJECTIVE: We combine data on excess mortality with data on cause-of-death-specific mortality in the case of Sweden to identify which groups had excess mortality beyond what can be captured by analyses of COVID-19-specific deaths. We also explore the possibility that some groups ma…

Although oral corrective feedback (CF) has long been considered advantageous in instructed second language (L2) acquisition, the effectiveness of CF for learning has been shown to depend on a combination of learner factors (e.g. learning beliefs and motivation), teacher differences (e.g. experienced or less experienced teacher), and instructional contexts (e.g. prevailing teaching approach and particular grammatical item CF is intended to address…
Immigration, mortality, and national life expectancy in the Nordic region, 1990–2019
Immigrants have higher life expectancy at age 1 than the native-born in Denmark, Finland and Norway do from 1990 to 2019.•Immigrants in Denmark, Finland and Norway increasingly enhance national life expectancy at age 1 over time.•Immigrants in Sweden have lower life expectancy at age 1 than native-born in Sweden do in 1990, but similar levels by 2019.•The effect of immigrants on national life expectancy at age 1 in Sweden transforms from negative…
Social inequalities experienced by children of immigrants across multiple domains of life
It is well known that children of immigrants experience inequality. Less is known about how inequalities compare across multiple life domains and multiple generations. We conduct a case study of England and Wales, focussing on children of Caribbean immigrants (the ‘Windrush generation’). We use large-scale census data to compare inequalities across five domains of life—education, employment, occupation, housing, and health—separately for women an…
Mortality Advantage Reversed
A small but growing body of studies have documented the alarming mortality situation of adult descendants of migrants in a number of European countries. Nearly all of them have focused on all-cause mortality to reveal these important health inequalities. This paper takes advantage of the Swedish population registers to study all-cause and cause-specific mortality among men and women aged 15–44 in Sweden from 1997 to 2016 to a level of granularity…
Age variations and population over-coverage
The migrant mortality advantage has been observed extensively, but its authenticity is debated. In particular, concerns persist that the advantage is an artefact of the data, generated by the problems of recording mobility among foreign-born populations. Here, we build on the intersection of two recent developments: the first showing substantial age variation in the advantage-a deep U-shaped advantage at peak migration ages-and the second showing…
A population-based cohort study of socio-demographic risk factors for Covid-19 deaths in Sweden
As global deaths from COVID-19 continue to rise, the world’s governments, institutions, and agencies are still working toward an understanding of who is most at risk of death. In this study, data on all recorded COVID-19 deaths in Sweden up to May 7, 2020 are linked to high-quality and accurate individual-level background data from administrative registers of the total population. By means of individual-level survival analysis we demonstrate that…
Poor health, low mortality? Paradox found among immigrants in England and Wales
The 'healthy immigrant effect' and 'migrant mortality advantage' describe the better health and lower mortality of international immigrants as compared with the native‐born populations of high‐income countries. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that it is much more common to observe low mortality among immigrants than it is good health, pointing to the existence of a potential paradox that mirrors the well‐known gender paradox in healt…
Divergent mortality patterns for second generation men of North-African and South-European origin in France
The findings shed light on the salient role of labor market disadvantage in the explanation of the mortality excess of second generation men of North-African origin in France, and on the favorable situation of second-generation men of South-European origin in terms of labour market position and mortality. The theoretical and policy implications of the findings are discussed
Mortality advantage among migrants according to duration of stay in France, 2004–2014
Our novel findings show an intrinsic pattern of convergence of migrant mortality towards native-born mortality over time spent in France, independent from the ages at which mortality is measured. The consistent pattern in both genders suggests that males and females experience the same processes associated with generating the migrant mortality advantage. These patterns adhere to the selection-acculturation hypothesis and raise serious concerns ab…

Adult mortality among second-generation immigrants in France
BACKGROUND: France has a large population of second-generation immigrants (i.e., native-born children of immigrants) who are known to experience important socioeconomic disparities by country of origin. The extent to which they also experience disparities in mortality, however, has not been previously examined. METHODS: We used a nationally representative sample of individuals 18 to 64 years old in 1999 with mortality follow-up via linked death r…
The Healthy Immigrant Effect
The Healthy Immigrant Effect (HIE) refers to the fact that recent migrants are in better health than the nonmigrant population in the host country. Central to explaining the HIE is the idea that migrants are positively selected in terms of their socioecono
Can the salmon bias effect explain the migrant mortality advantage in England and Wales
Despite researchers regularly observing a migrant mortality advantage in high‐income destination countries, it remains unclear whether empirically observed low mortality among foreign‐born relative to natives is genuine or a result of censoring and selection biases inherent in the remigration of foreign‐born individuals. Our aim is to determine whether the main mode of selection bias, the “salmon bias effect” (remigration triggered by poor health…
Adult mortality among the descendants of immigrants in England and Wales
Little is known about mortality among descendants of immigrants in western host countries because many descendants have not yet reached the ages of high mortality. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether the migrant mortality advantage recently observed among immigrants in England and Wales persists, converges to levels of the White England and Wales-born population or reverses among their descendants. Survival analysis is used to study m…

Migration and Health in England and Scotland
This study examines the health of migrants between England and Scotland comparing their health patterns with those of origin and host populations. While there is a growing literature on the health and mortality of international migrants, few studies have investigated the health of people moving within a country. We use individual-level data from the UK 1991 population census and apply the technique of logistic regression to analyse health differe…
Military Spending and Economic Well-Being in the American States
Using growth curve modeling techniques, this research investigates whether military spending improved or worsened the economic well-being of citizens within the American states during the post-Vietnam War period. We empirically test the military Keynesianism claim that military spending improves the economic conditions of citizens through its use by politicians as a countercyclical tool to reduce the negative effects of economic downturns. Howeve…
Salt bridges
A salt bridge in chemistry is a laboratory device used to connect the oxidation and reduction half-cells of a galvanic cell, a type of electrochemical cell. As electrons leave one half of a galvanic cell and flow to the other, a difference in charge is established. If no salt bridge was used, this charge difference would prevent further flow of electrons. A salt bridge allows the flow of electrons to maintain a balance in charge between the oxida…

The Political Economy of Manufacturing Growth and Decline across the American States, 1970-1985
Extant research is inconclusive on whether recent state patterns of manufacturing growth and decline are influenced by state economic development programs. In general, this research fails to situate states' development programs in the broader political economy of state economic development. In this article, we extend Gordon, Edwards, and Reich's (1982) historical framework for the analysis of social structures of accumulation to elucidate state-l…
