title: Gender Equitable Interactions Online: Supporting Gender Equity in Work-based Videoconferencing, 2022-2025

description: The GEiO project builds on and extends previous work that has demonstrated the negative consequences of gender inequalities in working life, as well as the growing demand for organisations to operate within socially and legally acceptable frameworks concerning human rights.
The project expands this research base by focusing on the rapid increase in virtual work during the Covid-19 pandemic, a trend that is likely to persist in the future for many organisations. A key objective was to generate new transnational evidence on the, until now, underexplored ways in which digital videoconferencing innovations can serve both to reinforce and to challenge gender inequity at work.

Three studies were conducted across four nations (Germany, Iceland, Spain and UK) to explore how gender is relevant to videoconferencing at work. Three different and complementary methods were used. The first study employed conversational analysis to make sense of video-recordings of online work meetings held in international corporations in each of the participating countries. The second study used Q methodology to explore shared understandings of digital working. Participants were recruited from the international corporations used in study one and other organisations known to use videconferencing. The third study used a Story Completion Task to capture social perceptions of videoconference meetings. Participants for this study were recruited from the personal and professional networks of each of the national research teams. 
Broadly, our findings reveal that gender continues to infuence how people speak, listen, lead, and respond in digital spaces. Stereoptypical expectations about how men and women should communicate persist. However, as well as reinforcing traditional power imbalances, online meetings can also become spaces for more equitable collaboration especially if training and awareness building is provided.

title: Data associated with: "HaCaT Keratinocytes: A Differentiation-Competent Platform for Episomal Replication of HPV"

description: Current studies of HPV (and PyV) intranuclear processes, such as viral genome replication and transcription often rely on episome transfection of transformed or tumor-derived cell lines (e.g., C33A, HEK293/HEK293T, CIN612); however, these cell lines lack keratinocyte differentiation, and their transformed status and expression of oncogenes may complicate interpretation of some studies. While primary keratinocytes can undergo differentiation, they are not readily transfected and have a limited lifespan. Cell lines have been isolated that have naturally occurring HPV episomes, and can be induced to differentiate, however, as the episomes are already present and in multiple copies, creating mutations in the HPV genome/proteins for analysis of their function is very difficult. Hence, there is still a need for a non-transformed immortalized cell line that undergoes keratinocyte differentiation and can be readily transfected for molecular studies of intra-nuclear viral functions. 

To address this gap, we have investigated the differentiation and transfection characteristics of HaCaT human keratinocytes, a spontaneously immortalized but non-transformed cell line capable of reversible differentiation. We show that using the appropriate growth and transfection conditions, HaCaT cells can serve as a tractable epithelial platform for studying early intranuclear events associated with episomal viral DNA replication.

Our study makes three contributions. First, we optimize extracellular Ca²⁺ conditions to reproducibly switch HaCaT cells between basal-like and differentiated states, allowing controlled experimental access to differentiation-linked epithelial biology. Second, we refine transfection parameters to achieve substantial consistent DNA delivery in HaCaT cells, suitable for quantitative assays. Third, using a luciferase-based origin replicon readout, we demonstrate robust, origin-dependent replication of HPV11 episomal plasmids in HaCaT cells in both basal-like and differentiated states—providing, to our knowledge, the first demonstration that HaCaT supports transient HPV origin-driven episomal replication in a differentiation-competent keratinocyte context.

title: Urban and Peri-Urban Parks in Santiago de los Caballeros and Santo Domingo

description: Tropical cities such as Santiago de los Caballeros and Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic face a sustained increase in temperatures due to climate change, accelerated urbanization, and the reduction of green areas, resulting in a significant decrease in permeable surfaces. These conditions intensify thermal stress, leading to a deterioration of thermal comfort in public spaces and negatively affecting health, well-being, and urban habitability. In this context, urban and peri-urban parks play a fundamental role as microclimatic regulators; however, their effectiveness depends on factors such as tree density, urban morphology, ventilation, and solar exposure. In response to this issue, a comparative study was conducted to understand the thermal behavior of representative parks in both cities.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the microclimatic conditions and thermal stress levels of urban and peri-urban parks in Santiago de los Caballeros and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic), identifying the factors that influence thermal comfort and comparing environmental performance between both urban contexts.

The research was carried out through in situ measurements at different times of the day (morning, midday, and afternoon), in both sun-exposed areas and shaded zones. Specialized instruments were used, including: WBGT thermal stress meter, FLIR E5xt thermographic camera, Infrared thermometer, Solar radiation meter y Wind speed anemometer

Parks with different morphological characteristics and levels of vegetation were selected in both cities, allowing for a comprehensive comparison between contrasting urban microclimates.

The findings show that the thermal load experienced by users in public spaces is significantly high in sun-exposed areas, with solar radiation values reaching 600–900 W/m² and radiant temperatures exceeding 50–55°C, generating high to extreme thermal stress levels (WBGT &gt; 29°C) during the central hours of the day.

The study confirms that urban thermal stress is high in both cities and that direct solar exposure is the most determining factor in generating discomfort. Vegetation, particularly broad-canopy trees, is the most effective element for mitigating solar radiation and improving thermal comfort; however, its effectiveness also depends on urban morphology, cross-ventilation, and the materials present in the surrounding environment.

The results highlight the need to integrate bioclimatic strategies into the design and rehabilitation of urban parks, including increased tree canopy coverage, shading structures, the use of pavements that reduce heat absorption, and green corridors that enhance ventilation. The analysis provides essential technical evidence to inform urban climate adaptation policies and improve the thermal resilience of public spaces in the Dominican Republic.

title: Assessing the Developmental Impact of Private DFIs on SME Performance: Evidence from Matched Firm-Level Data in Kenya

description: Research Hypothesis, Dataset Description, and Interpretation
Research Hypothesis
The dataset was constructed to test the hypothesis that:
H1: SMEs receiving financing from Private Development Finance Institutions (PDFIs) experience higher employment growth, stronger revenue performance, and higher survival probability compared with similar firms that do not receive PDFI financing.
This hypothesis is grounded in Financial Market Imperfection Theory, which argues that SMEs face credit rationing due to information asymmetries and limited collateral, and Development Finance Theory, which posits that mission-driven financiers can alleviate these constraints through catalytic capital and technical support.
What the Data Show
The dataset contains 657 firm-level observations, of which 268 are PDFI-financed firms and 389 are matched non-PDFI firms, reflecting realistic Kenyan SME characteristics.
Key variables include:
• Employment Growth (percentage change)
• Revenue Growth (percentage change)
• Survival Probability (0–1)
• Matching weights (CEM_Weight and PSM_Weight)
Preliminary analysis generated from this dataset indicates that:
• PDFI-financed firms exhibit higher average employment growth (≈12.4%) vs. control firms (≈5.8%).
• PDFI-backed firms show stronger revenue growth (≈18.7% vs. 9.5%).
• PDFI-financed SMEs demonstrate a higher probability of survival (0.89 vs. 0.78).
These trends support the hypothesis that catalytic financing improves SME performance.
Interpretation and Usage
The dataset is structured to enable replication of:
• Quasi-experimental causal inference methods
(Coarsened Exact Matching—CEM; Propensity Score Matching—PSM)
• Weighted regressions for employment, revenue, and survival outcomes
• Robustness checks across multiple matching estimators
Users can interpret the variables as representing realistic SME performance metrics commonly found in African enterprise datasets. The matching weights allow researchers to directly apply causal inference models without reconstructing the matching process.
The dataset is ideal for:
• Teaching econometrics
• Demonstrating causal inference methods
• Simulating development finance impacts
• Replicating tables in the associated manuscript (Tables 4–7)
Because the dataset is hypothetical but empirically structured, users should not treat results as representative of actual Kenyan firms; instead, it should be used for methodological or training purposes.
