Algorithmic Mediation, Trust, and Solidarity in the Post-Secular Age
This article examines how algorithmic mediation reshapes social trust and solidarity in the post-secular age. Historically grounded in shared moral horizons shaped by religion, tradition, and communal practices, trust has increasingly been displaced by technocratic governance, market rationality, and algorithmic systems that mediate work, cognition, communication, and political life. Through a critical analysis of contemporary developments—includ…
Cripping inquiry
We question the meanings of these forms of welcoming in disability, impairment and difference as ways to develop radical and cripcultures of co-produced and innovative disability research methodologies, and conclude by calling for a more inclusive sociology
Motivating Public Sector Employees
We present a lab-in-the-field experiment with employees of the Addis Ababa Water and Sewerage Authority to understand how to improve coordination and collaboration in their daily work. Participants play a series of public good games under different rules: a standard game, a game with a threshold, and a game with a randomly selected anonymous monitor who has the power to punish. We show that a common goal, in the form of a threshold to be attained…
From Natural Law to Relativism
The aim of this article is to fill a certain gap in the assessment of relativism by drawing on Joseph Ratzinger’s (1927–2022) criticism of the normative transformation since Kant. During the Enlightenment, Natural Law was doubted as a cultural feature of Christianity that had no bearing on pluralist society. Consequently, this jurisprudential tradition underwent de-Hellenization and branched out in radical directions, the most decisive of which w…
Is the glass half full or half empty? Examining the impact of Swatch Bharat interventions on sanitation and hygiene in rural Punjab, India
Early-life exposure to unimproved sanitation and delayed school enrollment
Environmental stress impacts child development and school readiness. • Higher community unimproved sanitation rates are linked to delayed school enrollment . • Impact is stronger for ages 6-7, suggesting delayed enrollment decisions by parents. • Crucial role of safer sanitation in holistic human capital development. Exposure to environmental stressors during early childhood can significantly impact a child’s development and educational outcomes.…
Beyond Money
This paper examines the impact of return migration from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf on the transfer of gender norms to the Indian state of Kerala. Migration to countries in the Middle East has led to significant remittance flows and economic prosperity, although the effects on social norms and attitudes remain largely unexplored. The paper finds that returning migrants from Saudi Arabia tend to exhibit conservative values regarding gender-based vio…
Childhood stunting and cognitive effects of water and sanitation in Indonesia
Measuring Deprivations in the Slums of Bangladesh
Approximately 880 million people, or one in four urban residents, live in slums today. While this enumeration is useful, it is not a trivial exercise to estimate slum population for a city, let alone globally, especially when the definition of a slum remains a debatable construct. To demonstrate this point empirically, we utilize a household survey from nine cities in Bangladesh and provide three different estimates of slum population based on th…

Water and Sanitation in Dhaka Slums
Urban slum residents often have worse health outcomes compared with other urbanites and even their rural counterparts. This suggests that slum residents do not always benefit from the "urban advantage" of enjoying better access to health-promoting services. Limited access to water and sanitation services in slums could contribute to poor health of slum residents. In Bangladesh, these services generally are not delivered through formal utilities, …
Sustainability of Demand Responsive Approaches to Rural Water Supply
This paper presents the findings of an impact evaluation to assess the performance and sustainability of the demand responsive community-based approach toward rural water supply in the state of Kerala, India. To achieve the study's objectives, conceptual definitions of the "performance" and "sustainability" of rural water supply schemes were first developed, as were indicators for their systematic measurement. Performance and sustainability indic…
Religion and Social Cooperation
The international community recently adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving these goals by 2030 will require major commitments and efforts. It will also require cooperation between multiple groups and stakeholders, both nationally and internationally. An interesting question is whether religious diversity and the evocation of religion tend to be conducive to “social cooperation” between individuals from various religious trad…
Climate Change and Migration
Climate change is a major source of concern in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and migration is often understood as one of several strategies used by households to respond to changes in climate and environmental conditions, including extreme weather events. This study focuses on the link between climate change and migration. Most micro-level studies measure climate change either by the incidences of extreme weather events or by va…

Remittances And Natural Disasters
Macro- and micro-economic evidence \n suggests a positive role of remittances in preparing \n households against natural disasters and in coping with the \n loss afterwards. Analysis of cross-country macroeconomic \n data shows that remittances increase in the aftermath of \n natural disasters in countries that have a larger number of \n migrants abroad. Analysis of household survey data in \n Bangladesh shows that per capita consumption was high…

Clement Marot
This monograph focuses on the perennial problem of Marot as a transitional poet, challenging the underlying premise that Renaissance poetry is inherently superior to late medieval poetry. It stresses the value of the Huizinga model of the transition from Middle Ages to Renaissance as a context in which to situate Marot and offers a formulation to describe the sometimes rather strange blend of the old and new in his work

Inter‐regional Population Distribution and Growth in Britain –A Projection Exercise
Demographic, Economic, and Social Interaction
Future changes in the size and composition of the British labour force—A regional projection exercise
The main purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for generating parallel projections of regional population and labour force which not only incorporates expected age/sex/marital-status/regional differences in the economic activity rates but at the same time takes account of demographic factors such as fertility, mortality and interregional migration in the overall projections." A model is developed and adapted to project the British reg…
