The impacts of diagnosis-intervention packet payment on the providers’ behavior of inpatient care—evidence from a national pilot city in China
Background In 2020, the Chinese government developed and implemented an innovative case-based payment method under the regional global budget called the diagnosis-intervention packet (DIP) payment to pay for inpatient care. This study aims to assess the changes to inpatient care provision in hospitals after the DIP payment reform was implemented. Methods This study used inpatient medical costs per case, the proportion of the out-of-pocket (OOP) e…
Equity impact of minimum unit pricing of alcohol on household health and finances among rich and poor drinkers in South Africa
INTRODUCTION: South Africa experiences significant levels of alcohol-related harm. Recent research suggests minimum unit pricing (MUP) for alcohol would be an effective policy, but high levels of income inequality raise concerns about equity impacts. This paper quantifies the equity impact of MUP on household health and finances in rich and poor drinkers in South Africa. METHODS: We draw from extended cost-effectiveness analysis (ECEA) methods an…
Patient pathways of tuberculosis care-seeking and treatment
INTRODUCTION: Patients with tuberculosis (TB) often experience difficulties in accessing diagnosis and treatment. Patient pathway analysis identifies mismatches between TB patient care-seeking patterns and service coverage, but to date, studies have only employed cross-sectional aggregate data. METHODS: We developed an algorithmic approach to analyse and interpret patient-level routine data on healthcare use and to construct patients' pathways fr…
On Global Plasticity
As a pervasive, material element of the global, plastics raise potent social and environmental questions. More than merely the “stuff” of potential global prosperity, plastics are substances that people inscribe with varied cultural meanings. Deploying four conceptual “entry points” for global research, we explore how global plastics have become not only a site of an emergent socioecological crisis but themselves a point of leverage for a more hu…
Investigating style evolution of Western classical music
In musicology, there has been a long debate about a meaningful partitioning and description of music history regarding composition styles. Particularly, concepts of historical periods have been criticized since they cannot account for the continuous and interwoven evolution of style. To systematically study this evolution, large corpora are necessary suggesting the use of computational strategies. This article presents such strategies and experim…
Information and Empire
By the middle of the nineteenth century, when the chronological coverage of this book draws to a close, Tsar Nicholas I regarded the collection of information as a precondition of perfect administrative control. It was not the only dream he never realised. As the twelve international contributors to this impressive collection, edited by Simon Franklin and Katherine Bowers, show, the flow of information across Russia was rarely unimpeded. Given mo…
Awareness of alcohol as a risk factor for cancer is associated with public support for alcohol policies
Support for alcohol policies is greater among individuals who are aware of the link between alcohol and cancer. At the same time, a large proportion of people are unaware of the alcohol-cancer link and so increasing awareness may be an effective approach to increasing support for alcohol policies
A review of manual and computational approaches for the study of world music corpora
The comparison of world music cultures has been a recurring topic in the field of musicology since the end of the nineteenth century. Recent advances in technology in the field of Music Information Retrieval allow for a large-scale analysis of music corpora. We review manual and computational approaches in the literature that fall within the scope of music corpus research and world music analysis. With a large-scale computational music corpus ana…
Orthodoxy and Revolution
At the height of the October Revolution in Moscow – a much bloodier affair than the Bolshevik seizure of power in Petrograd – the Orthodox Church installed Tikhon (Bellavin) as Russia's first patriarch since 1700. At the most obvious level, this was a counter-revolutionary gesture aimed at securing firm leadership in a time of troubles. It was nevertheless a controversial move. Ecclesiastical liberals regarded a restored patriarchate as a neo-pap…

Allegiance and Betrayal
This article reveals an unsuspected instance of a problem that has troubled most states: the transposition of 'resident aliens' into 'enemy aliens'. Acknowledging that many British residents in Russia remained undisturbed during the Crimean War, the article focuses on those who found their property and their persons at risk. Their experiences illuminate the wider question of treason, itself only one of the forms of betrayal that stemmed from the …
Assessing patient preferences for the delivery of different community‐based models of care using a discrete choice experiment
OBJECTIVES: To assess patient preferences for different models of care defined by location of care, frequency of care and principal carer within community-based health-care services for older people. DESIGN: Discrete choice experiment administered within a face-to-face interview. SETTING: An intermediate care service in a large city within the United Kingdom. PARTICIPANTS: The projected sample size was calculated to be 200; however, 77 patients w…

The 'Mad Monk' Iliodor in Tsaritsyn
Attracting adoring crowds with his 'delicate, beautiful, feminine face' and 'powerful will', Ieromonakh Iliodor (Sergei Mikhailovich Trufanov, 1880-1952) combined right-wing rhetoric with spiritual plausibility. Concentrating on the peak of Iliodor's notoriety at Tsaritsyn between 1908 and 1911, this article offers the first scholarly investigation of a scandalous career which threatened to undermine P. A. Stolypin. Drawing on the archive of the …
TempEst
Issues concerning tuning and temperament bear relevance to music research in areas such as historical musicology, performance and recording studies, and music perception. We have recently demonstrated that it is possible to classify keyboard temperament automatically from audio recordings of standard musical works to the extent of accurately distinguishing between six different temperaments often used in harpsichord recordings. The current paper …
Improving Music Genre Classification Using Automatically Induced Harmony Rules
We present a new genre classification framework using both low-level signal-based features and high-level harmony features. A state-of-the-art statistical genre classifier based on timbral features is extended using a first-order random forest containing for each genre rules derived from harmony or chord sequences. This random forest has been automatically induced, using the first-order logic induction algorithm TILDE, from a dataset, in which fo…
Eighteenth-Century Russia
This volume incorporates some forty papers from the seventh international conference of the Study Group on Eighteenth-Century Russia, held at Wittenberg in July 2004. The group's conferences traditionally offer a mixture of pièces d’occasion and trailers for larger-scale works in progress. So it is here, in a rich, interdisciplinary collection covering the ‘long’ eighteenth century from 1680 to 1825 and divided into sections on ‘Literature, Theat…
Archimandrite Mikhail (Semenov) and Russian Christian Socialism
Sex, populism, and the search for universal religious freedom were the overwhelming preoccupations of Russia's Silver Age, and no churchman did more to engage with them than Archimandrite Mikhail (Semenov). Having spearheaded the Russian Orthodox church's mission to the intelligentsia in the years before 1905, he fell from grace when Russian social Christianity was irrevocably politicized by revolution. Sacked from his chair at the St Petersburg …
Superstition in Imperial Russia
SUPERSTITION, ( Metaphys. & Philos .) every kind of excess of religion in general, following the ancient word, paganism; one must be pious in order to guard against falling into superstition [...] Indeed, superstition is a cult of false, badly directed religion, full of sham dreads, contrary to reason and to the sound ideas one ought to have of the supreme being. Or, if you prefer, superstition is that sort of enchantment or magical power which f…

Reflections on Modern Russian Martyrdom
The Lord has given glory to those who preached Christ in the arena and who did not fear the threats of the ungodly. With fortitude they suffered and so cast down the pride of the transgressors. Returning from his visit to Catherine the Great in 1773–4, chastened by a winter of ill health and frustration, which served finally to disillusion him of the prospects to be expected of an enlightened monarch, Diderot consoled himself by writing, during a…
