It tests the question by auditing six UK policy decisions taken since 2021 against the security criteria their own public justifications invoked. Energy security is measured through availability, affordability, diversity, reliability and resilience. Trade security is measured through market access, partner diversification, exposure to unilateral discretion and stability of terms, drawing on Hirschman and on Farrell and Newman’s work on weaponised interdependence. Five of the six policies fail their own test. The ban on Russian energy imports removed a small exposure but did nothing about the mechanism that passed the 2022 price shock on to British consumers. North Sea licensing is defended on security grounds by both its supporters and its opponents, yet neither position delivers the price security claimed. The UK holds roughly 12 days of gas storage, compared with 89 in Germany and 103 in France, and this drew no significant policy response. Meanwhile the United States now supplies 76% of UK LNG imports and takes 21.7% of UK exports, a concentration that has received almost no security scrutiny. The project concludes that security language in UK economic policy works mainly as a justification attached to decisions made on alliance, environmental or domestic political grounds. It proposes that any economic security claim be accompanied by a published assessment of the exposure it addresses.

Studies suggest that graduate start-up outcomes are linked to resources invested in a university’s ‘teaching’ mission, such as entrepreneurial education and training. However, results remain mixed and associational. This paper therefore asks whether increased university teaching focus causes an increase in graduate start-up creation and turnover. Using data from the Higher Education – Business and Community Interaction survey from 2008/09 to 2014/15, this paper exploits the 2012 tuition fee reform in England to proxy for an increased focus on English universities’ teaching missions and estimates a difference-in-differences model with Scottish universities as a control. The results show that after the reform, there was a significant increase in English graduate start-up creation compared to Scotland. The result is not driven by elite or London-based institutions. However, the effect loses significance in an uncontrolled specification from 2008/09 to 2024/25. There is also largely no evidence of an effect on graduate-start up turnover throughout.

A k-page book drawing of a graph G places the vertices on the spine and draws each edge on a single page. The k-page crossing number is the minimum number of edge crossings over all possible k-page drawings. Finding a crossing-free book drawing with minimum number of pages(Book Thickness) and minimizing crossings for a fixed k (Book Drawing With Crossing Minimization) are both NP-hard. Recent works established fixed-parameter algorithms for Book Thickness parameterized by the vertex cover number and the vertex integrity, respectively [1, 2]. In this paper, we present the main ideas of these works and derive separate fixed-parameter algorithms for Book Drawing with Crossing Minimization w.r.t. the vertex cover number and the vertex integrity number.

These planets represent an understudied population of temperate planets and recovering their orbital periods would provide insightful tests for models of planet formation and migration. With significant follow-up of such planets from both space- and ground-based observatories, there is a need to efficiently detect epochs which are well matched to known transit shapes in photometric datasets. This report describes the calibration of the template-matching search adopted in the BRUCE package, a Python library for modelling and fitting transiting planets and eclipsing binaries. The likelihood-ratio statistic returned by the scan is standardised into a matched-filter signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), z, which is exactly Gaussian under white noise, before being whitened by its own median absolute deviation over each scan. Six noise conditions, each with 2,500 realisations, were used to measure the false-alarm rate at local probabilities of 10^(-3) and 10^(-4). Under quasi-periodic spot modulation and granulation, the raw statistic produced false alarms at 230 and 103 times the nominal rate at 10^(-3) and up to 1,900 times at 10^(-4). The whitened statistic held every condition to within factors of 1.3 and 1.9, respectively. To test the sensitivity of the search, we performed an injection-recovery test on a grid of 51,200 synthetic TESS light curves: recovery was found to follow lines of constant single-transit S/N and the false-peak rate to scale inversely with template width. We conclude that this whitened matched-filter S/N statistic is the correct choice for the pipeline, as a single threshold is valid under both white and correlated noise, allowing further TESS single-transit candidates to be detected with a known false-alarm probability.

Using a state-level pseudo-panel constructed from the Periodic Labour Force Survey between 2017-18 and 2023-24, we measure states’ exposure to the COVID-19 shock using the pre-pandemic share of rural male non-farm employment in lockdown-vulnerable industries. We esti- mate an event-study difference-in-differences model with state and year fixed effects to test whether more exposed states experienced larger increases in RFLFP. Rural female participation rose from 24.6% to 47.6% over the period, with unpaid family helpers ac- counting for approximately 55% of this increase; participation excluding unpaid helpers also rose from 15.0% to 25.3%. The rise began before the pandemic and shows no sign of unwinding afterwards, so its timing is inconsistent with a purely COVID-specific distress response. Our test finds no statistically significant evidence that states with higher pre- pandemic male employment vulnerability experienced larger post-pandemic increases in RFLFP, but the estimates are imprecise and sensitive to weighting and to individual states. They therefore neither confirm nor reject distress as a driver of the rise.

With a Black president and a predominantly Black governing party, it appears to tick many of the boxes associated with racial equality. But this encouraged me to question whether this means South Africa has ‘overcome’ race as a social issue.
