Buy or rent? Mental health risk trade-offs from job loss between homeownership and mortgage debt
Housing wealth and homeownership are major determinants of health, with numerous studies pointing to long-term benefits. Many people consider homeownership an important, culturally normative and financially incentivised achievement in life. However, homeownership involves time-sensitive trade-offs: housing purchases are often mortgage-financed, which require regular payments and increase susceptibility to employment shocks. This article examines …
Got alt hui . Some Considerations on the German Dialogue Between Massimiliano Sforza and Maximilian I in the Liber Iesus (Milan, Archivio Storico Civico e Biblioteca Trivulziana, Cod. Triv. 2163) ☆
The so‐called Liber Iesus , a Latin prayer book commissioned for the young Massimiliano Sforza by his father Ludovico il Moro in the 1490s, features a splendid miniature depicting a meeting between the child count and Emperor Maximilian I. It is accompanied by a brief dialogue in German with an interlinear version in Italian on the topic of the Milanese‐Imperial alliance on the opposite page. Although the presence of a German version has often be…
Mortgage affordability and mental healthcare use: Evidence from Finnish population registers
Mortgage repayment may affect mental health through financial strain. We investigate the relationship between mortgage repayment, specifically its affordability, and the use of mental healthcare in Finland. We follow a cohort of adults aged 20-29 in 2002 using linked population registers (2003-2019; unit: person-year) with no ongoing mortgage and compare two outcomes: (i) psychotropic medication purchases (PMP) and (ii) hospital visits and specia…
Urban–rural disparities in hospital admissions for depression in Austria
Medical practice variation in mental healthcare is a useful indicator for policymakers aiming to improve the efficiency of healthcare delivery. Previous studies have shown strong regional variation in healthcare utilisation in Austria, which seems to be a by-product of regionalised institutional rules and healthcare service mix rather than epidemiology. We use a set of routine municipality-level healthcare data on hospital admissions for depressi…
Senescent cancer-associated fibroblasts in pancreatic adenocarcinoma restrict CD8+ T cell activation and limit responsiveness to immunotherapy in mice
Senescent cells within tumors and their stroma exert complex pro- and anti-tumorigenic functions. However, the identities and traits of these cells, and the potential for improving cancer therapy through their targeting, remain poorly characterized. Here, we identify a senescent subset within previously-defined cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) and in premalignant lesions in mice and humans. Senescen…
Policy implications of heterogeneous demand reactions to changes in cost-sharing: Patient-level evidence from Austria
Cost-sharing is a prominent tool in many healthcare systems, both for raising revenue and steering patient behaviour. Although the effect of cost-sharing on demand for healthcare services has been heavily studied in the literature, researchers often apply a macro-perspective to these issues, opening the door for policy makers to the fallacy of assuming uniform demand reactions across a spectrum of different forms of treatments and diagnostic proc…
Equal in ashes? Exploring socioeconomic inequalities in lifespan based on obituary data in Austria
Understanding the emergence of and changes in socioeconomic inequalities in lifespan requires reliable, longitudinal data. In the absence of administrative data, published obituaries may be one such alternative source. With the validity of drawing relevant data from obituaries not yet established in population health research, this study addresses this gap by estimating socioeconomic inequalities in lifespan in Vorarlberg, Austria. Data for all i…
Karl Marx "Das Kapital"
Marx ' "Kapital" ist eines der welthistorisch wirkungsmächtigsten Bücher. Die darin entfaltete Untersuchung des kapitalistischen Wirtschaftssystems hat wieder an Aktualität gewonnen, seit die verheerenden Auswirkungen der ungebremsten ökonomischen Globalisierung erkennbar werden. Michael Bergers Einführung leitet die Leser behutsam durch alle drei Bände des Werks. Wissenschaftliche Gegenpositionen zu Marx und der gegenwärtige Diskussionsstand ein…
Administrative Tribunal of Rouen, Decision No. 702737, December 27, 2007 (Maori Head case)
In October 2007, the mayor of the French city of Rouen agreed to return to New Zealand a preserved tattooed head of a Maori warrior (called toi moko by Maori) from that city's Museum of Natural History, whose collection the head had been part of since 1875. The decision to return the head was based on an initiative by the Museum of New Zealand ( Te Papa Tongarewa ), which has successfully secured the return of other such heads from museums in var…
A Historical Guide to Henry David Thoreau
As an essayist, philosopher, ex-pencil manufacturer, notorious hermit, tax protester, and all-around original thinker, Thoreau led so singular a life that he is in some ways a perfect candidate for the historical and biographical treatments made possible by the Historical Guides to American Authors series format. William E. Cain, the volume editor, includes contributions on his relationship with 19th century authority and concepts of the land, wh…

What is Done in Trust Conditions Underlying the Success of Paradoxical Interventions

I Will Follow Him: Myth, Reality, or Forced Choice—Job-Seeking Experiences of Dual-Career Couples
Recent PhDs in psychology and biological sciences with spouses who were also professionals were surveyed; the focus was on their joint job-seeking. Couples frequently described egalitarian decision rules. But traditional patterns were also evident, particularly among the biological-science sample. Egalitarianism decreased in the actual job decisions made, but here the traditional alternative was frequently cited as a forced choice. Responses to s…

Over‐ and Under‐achievement in Reading: Distribution in the General Population
S ummary . Empirical findings are presented on the distribution of over‐and under‐achievement in reading in five general population groups encompassing four age‐groups and two parts of the country—a major city and an area of small towns. It is shown that reading achievement does not exactly parallel IQ at all levels of intelligence, confirming the inappropriateness of the achievement ratio and like statistics. It is argued that over‐ and under‐ac…
The Wppsi: An Empirical Evaluation With a British Sample
S ummary . The Wechsler Pre‐School and Primary Scale of Intelligence is examined. In an empirical study, 150 children, average age 5 years 5 months, in their second term of schooling on the Isle of Wight, were tested. The results are presented and suggestions are made as to how these data could be interpreted when this test is used with British children
