Increasingly, work and employment take place within network firms, value chains, and other organisational forms extending control beyond the firm's legal boundaries. This article proposes a model rooted in sociological concepts (work organisation, control, and risk) to analyse how social relations of work and employment are structured, and how inequalities are manufactured, in these organisational forms. First, we change the level of analysis, moving from firm to productive configuration.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzes over 3 million genetic variations from the International HapMap Project to identify regions of the human genome that have undergone positive natural selection.
  • Using advanced methods, researchers pinpointed over 300 candidate regions, specifically narrowing down to 22 strong areas for further scrutiny.
  • The analysis highlights 26 specific gene variations under positive selection, demonstrating similar evolutionary pressures in related genes across different populations, including regions tied to virus infection and traits like skin pigmentation and hair follicle development.

We describe the Phase II HapMap, which characterizes over 3.1 million human single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyped in 270 individuals from four geographically diverse populations and includes 25-35% of common SNP variation in the populations surveyed. The map is estimated to capture untyped common variation with an average maximum r2 of between 0.
