From Expansion to Erosion: The Global Trajectory of Judicial Independence, 1960–2018
ABSTRACT Judicial independence expanded globally throughout the twentieth century, but this trajectory has recently come under pressure. In recent years, governments around the world have increasingly challenged judicial autonomy. This study unpacks this global reversal by analyzing data from 156 states between 1960 and 2018.

Gaussian intrinsic entanglement for states with partial minimum uncertainty
We develop a theory of a quantifier of bipartite Gaussian entanglement called Gaussian intrinsic entanglement (GIE) which was proposed recently in [L. Mi\v{s}ta {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 117}, 240505 (2016)].

Measuring the Turkish Welfare State: A Multidimensional Approach
ABSTRACT This article develops a multidimensional approach to capture the multiple dimensions of welfare states around the world. We know a lot about why we need to take the multidimensional character of welfare states seriously. There is, however, no consensus in the literature on which dimensions to focus on.

Quasi‐Trapped Zebra Stripes: Radial Transport Driven by Dual‐Pulse Electric Fields
Abstract Energetic electron spectra in Earth's inner radiation belt often exhibit regular stripe‐like features, known as “zebra stripes,” which are typically attributed to the drift motion of stably‐trapped electrons disturbed by electric field perturbations.
