Triumf zranionego ego
Niniejszy artykuł jest probą analizy książki publicystycznej Współrzędne Z autorstwa znanego, kontrowersyjnego rosyjskiego pisarza Zachara Prilepina, wydanej wiosną 2023 roku. Autor, a zarazem uczestnik rosyjskiej inwazji w Ukrainie przedstawia w niej własne rozumienie obecnej rzeczywistości. W przeprowadzonej analizie szczególną uwagę zwrócono się na postrzeganie przez Prilepina współczesnej Ukrainy i języka ukraińskiego, wskazywane przezeń przy…
Who pays more? Exploring cost disparities in medication abortion access across socio-demographic groups in Ghana
MA cost in Ghana is largely based on providers' discretion and at the facility's management level. Additionally, the cost differs by women's socio-demographic attributes. To reduce the disparities in MA costs, developing guidelines to address the health system challenges regarding MA provision and access is important. Educational programs on MA access, provision and legal framework could also reduce abortion-related stigma and cost variations
Electricity Use of Automation or How to Tax Robots
While automation technologies replace workers in ever more tasks, robots, 3D‐printers, and AI require substantial amounts of electricity. How are automation technologies affected by the price of electricity, and how do robot taxes and electricity taxes affect their adoption? To answer these questions, we generalize a standard economic growth model to incorporate automation and electricity use. In addition, we augment the model with electricity ta…

A health economics perspective on behavioural responses to climate change across geographic, socio-economic and demographic strata
This perspective examines the relationship between climate change, health outcomes, and behavioural responses across the life course. It identifies three primary channels through which climate change impacts behaviours which in turn affect health: increased morbidity driving healthcare demand and accessibility, reduced productivity and income affecting health care investments, and combined health and economic risks shaping migration patterns, die…

Rising Longevity, Increasing the Retirement Age, and the Consequences for Knowledge‐based Long‐run Growth
We assess the long‐run growth effects of rising longevity and increasing the retirement age when growth is driven by purposeful research and development. In contrast to economies in which growth depends on learning‐by‐doing spillovers, raising the retirement age fosters economic growth. How economic growth changes in response to rising life expectancy depends on the retirement response. Employing numerical analysis, we find that the requirement f…
Electronic Benefit Transfer and Food Expenditure Cycles
Previous research shows that the way transfer income is disbursed can affect what households purchase with that income. In this paper, I provide evidence that disbursement technique can affect the timing of purchases as well. I examine the U.S. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which switched on a state‐by‐state basis from cash‐similar food coupons to Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT)—a secure debit card—from 1993 to 2004. I find …
Macro-level efficiency of health expenditure
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic highlights the importance of strong and resilient health systems. Yet how much a society should spend on healthcare is difficult to determine because additional health expenditures imply lower expenditures on other types of consumption. Furthermore, the welfare-maximizing ("efficient") aggregate amount and composition of health expenditures depend on efficiency concepts at three levels that often g…
The contribution of female health to economic development
We analyse the economic consequences for poor countries of investing in female health within a unified growth model featuring health-related gender differences in productivity. Better female health accelerates the demographic transition and thereby the take-off towards sustained economic growth. By contrast, male health improvements delay the transition and take-off because they tend to raise fertility. However, households tend to prefer male hea…
The role of the socio-economic environment on medical outcomes after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
The study provides intuitive evidence for a hitherto understudied Central European context on the link between socio-economic environment and conventional risk factors at population level and the link between conventional risk factors and survival both at the population at the individual level. While this is in line with previous evidence and suggestive of the incorporation of measures of socio-economic status (SES) into policy & guidelines towar…
Ibn al-Ṭayyib’s Trinitarian Formulation in the Islamic Milieu
This article examines a theological treatise of Abū al-Faraj ʿAbd Allāh Ibn al-Ṭayyib, a savant of the Assyrian Church of the East. The treatise discusses the Attributes of Deity demonstrating a thematic correspondence with the dominant polemical arguments occasioned by the Christian view of the Trinity and Christology. These include the relation of the hypostases to the attributes of essence, specifically the unity of the divine essence in contr…
The Third Treatise of Shaykh Abū al-Faraj ʿAbd Allāh Ibn al-Ṭayyib on Unity and Trinity
The article consists of a critical Arabic edition and English translation of the Third Treatise of Shaykh Abū al-Faraj ʿAbd Allāh Ibn al-Ṭayyib. The introduction provides a brief, general orientation to the treatise, discussing its relation to two other treatises by the same author and suggesting a chronology. The translation accompanies an article analysing the treatise titled: ‘Ibn al-Ṭayyib’'s Trinitarian Formulation in the Islamic Milieu’ (Ku…
The STRING database in 2017
A system-wide understanding of cellular function requires knowledge of all functional interactions between the expressed proteins. The STRING database aims to collect and integrate this information, by consolidating known and predicted protein-protein association data for a large number of organisms. The associations in STRING include direct (physical) interactions, as well as indirect (functional) interactions, as long as both are specific and b…

Theories about and strategies against hegemonic social sciences
This innovative book provides new perspectives on the globalization of knowledge and the notion of hegemonic sciences. Tying together contributions of authors from all across the world, it challenges existing theories of hegemonic sciences and sheds new light on how they have been and are being constructed. Examining more closely the notions of 'human rights' and 'individualization', this much-needed volume offers new and alternative ideas on how…
