Abstract On the labor markets, recent decades were characterized by structural supply‐side reforms in many countries.

Conditions in basic income support for unemployed became more generous, combined with a focus on qualification and development.

These techniques are highly contested, with divergent views on how they should be governed.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly used for plant protection treatments. We describe the corresponding Swiss regulatory framework. We also summarize practical experiences gained from technical assessments performed within this framework, field use patterns and the results of field efficacy trials.

Noise sensitivity in bootstrap percolation [PDF]
Answering questions of Itai Benjamini, we show that the event of complete occupation in 2-neighbour bootstrap percolation on the d-dimensional box [n]^d, for d\geq 2, at its critical initial density p_c(n), is noise sensitive, while in k-neighbour bootstrap percolation on the d-regular random graph G_{n,d}, for 2\leq k\leq d-2, it is insensitive.
