title: Replication Data for: The odd couple: Analysing UKIP and FSM’s EU-opposition in the EP

description: Since the late 2000s economic and immigration crises are testing the European Union (EU). Such challenges have opened up a period of radical change for the EU, among them, the Brexit referendum that will radically change EU’s geography. 
 This turmoil is mirrored by the last European Parliament (EP) election results; extreme right and left wing parties succeeded in the electoral competition at the expense of their mainstream counterpart. These forces are generally labelled as ‘Eurosceptic’, even though the literature still lacks a clear-cut definition of Euroscepticism. 
 Starting from this observation, this paper reviews the conceptual evolution of Euroscepticism, stressing its pros and cons and proposes a reconceptualisation of it in terms of EU-opposition such that the objects of criticism are clearly identified as the EU-policies, the EU-elite, the EU-regime and the EU-community. 
 The paper applies ‘EU-opposition’ to examine empirically the activity of two ‘Eurosceptic’ parties in the EP: the Italian Five Stars Movement (FSM) and the British United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), using the speeches they deliver in the arena of the EP as the main source of data. 
 From the analysis, it can be seen that UKIP and FSM are an odd couple working in the same party-group in the EP, and the concept of EU-opposition is able to better disentangle UKIP and FSM’s criticism of the EU.

title: Replication Data for: Yellin’ at Yellen: Hostile Sexism in the Federal Reserve Congressional Hearings

description: How prevalent is gender bias among U.S. politicians? We analyze the transcripts
of every congressional hearing attended by the chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve
from 2001 to 2020 to provide a carefully identified effect of sexism, using Janet
Yellen as a bundled treatment. We find that legislators who interacted with both
Yellen and at least one other male Fed chair over this period interrupt Yellen more,
and interact with her using more aggressive tones. Furthermore, we show that the
increase in hostility experienced by Yellen relative to her immediate predecessor
and successor are absent among those legislators with daughters. Our results point
to the important role of societal biases bleeding into seemingly unrelated policy
domains, underscoring the vulnerability of democratic accountability and oversight
mechanisms to existing gender norms and societal biases.

title: Planarian Locomotor Velocity and Taurine

description: Taurine, a normal dietary component that is found in many tissues, is considered important for a number of physiological processes. It is thought to play a particular role in eye development and in the maturation of both the muscular and nervous systems, leading to its suggested use as a therapeutic for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Taurine increases metabolism and has also been touted as a weight loss aid. Due to its possible benefits to health and development, taurine is added as a supplement to a wide array of products, including infant formula and energy drinks. Despite its pervasive use as a nutritional additive and implied physiological actions, there is little consensus on how taurine functions. This is likely because, mechanistically, taurine has been demonstrated to affect multiple metabolic pathways. Simple models and straightforward assay systems are required to make headway in understanding this complexity. We chose to begin this work using the planarian because these animals have basic, well-understood muscular and nervous systems and are the subjects of many well-tested assays examining how their physiology is influenced by exposure to various environmental, nutritional, and therapeutic agents. We used a simple behavioral assay, the planarian locomotor velocity test (pLmV), to gain insight into the stimulant properties of taurine. Using this assay, we observed that taurine is a mild stimulant that is not affected by sugars or subject to withdrawal. We also provide evidence that taurine makes use of the dopamine D1 receptor to mediate this stimulant effect. Given the pervasiveness of taurine in many commercial products, our findings using the planarian system provide needed insight into the stimulant properties of taurine that should be considered when adding it to the diet.
