Class performance: An empirical case of Chinese service workers in hair salons
Abstract China's service sector has attracted millions of internal migrants from impoverished rural areas. This research investigates how service work contributes to the reproduction of class inequalities in China through the everyday interactions between service workers and customers.

Background – Dilute sodium hypochlorite (bleach) baths at 0.005% concentration twice weekly have been shown to markedly reduce the severity of atopic dermatitis in children, yet no tolerability and efficacy data are available for this treatment in dogs.

Background – Hymenoptera envenomation with honey bee (Apis mellifera) and paper wasp (Polistes spp.) may cause life‐threatening anaphylaxis in dogs. In human patients, clinical history, intradermal testing (IDT) and measurement of allergen‐specific serological immunoglobulin (Ig)E (sIgE) are used to support a diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom ...

Abstract This paper analyses the magnitude of the spatial transmission of COVID‐19 through the municipalities of the region of Madrid during the first pandemic wave using a spatial contagion index. The study also provides additional insights into the main factors contributing to the spread of the virus in both time and space by estimating a novel ...

Background – A rebound of pruritus occasionally occurs after oclacitinib dose reduction in dogs with atopic dermatitis (AD). Objectives – To determine whether an initial 4‐day course of prednisolone decreases the probability of a pruritus rebound after reducing the frequency of oclacitinib administration.

Abstract Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most commonly isolated bacterium from skin lesions of dogs with post‐grooming furunculosis (PGF). It is frequently found in human hair and skin care products, and may pose a health risk to consumers. Information regarding the prevalence of P. aeruginosa contamination of dog grooming products is lacking.

A counterexample to the Drury permanent conjecture
We offer a counterexample to a conjecture concerning the permanent of positive semidefinite matrices. The counterexample is a 4 × 4 complex correlation matrix.

An elementary proof of Chollet’s permanent conjecture for 4 × 4 real matrices
A proof of the statement per(A ∘ B) ≤ per(A)per(B) is given for 4 × 4 positive semidefinite real matrices. The proof uses only elementary linear algebra and a rather lengthy series of simple inequalities.

Derivative and higher-order Cauchy integral formula of matrix functions
The derivative of a nn-order matrix function on the complex field is usually defined as a n2{n}^{2}-order matrix, which is not suitable for generalizing Cauchy integral formula of matrix functions to its higher-order derivative form. In this paper, a new

Data dependence results of a new multistep and S-iterative schemes for contractive-like operators [PDF]
In this paper, we prove that convergence of a new iteration and S-iteration can be used to approximate to the fixed points of contractive-like operators.
