Balancing the sustainability in the 2030 agenda: the OECD countries

Journal of Integrative Environmental Sciences, 2022
When assessing the achievement of the 2030 Agenda, the equilibrium among the dimensions of the sustainable development should be taken into account, recognizing the balanced and integrated nature of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The concentration index of a binary outcome revisited

Health Economics, 2011
SUMMARYThe binary variable is one of the most common types of variables in the analysis of income‐related health inequalities. I argue that while the binary variable has some unusual properties, it shares many of the properties of the ratio–scale variable and hence lends itself to both relative and absolute inequality analyses, albeit with some ...

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Measurement of Health, the Sensitivity of the Concentration Index, and Reporting Heterogeneity [PDF]

Using representative survey data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) for 2006, we show that the magnitude of such health inequality measures as the concentration index (CI) depends crucially on the underlying health measure.

Countably P-Concentrative Pairs and the coincidence index

Applied Mathematics Letters, 2002
This article deals with a new coincidence index for pairs \(A @ C\), where \(A\) and \(C\) are subsets of a Fréchet space \(E\) with a defining system \(P\) of seminorms, \(p\) a Vietoris mapping, \(q\) a mapping satisfying the following condition: for every \(i\in P\) and for each countably bounded non-\(i\)-precompact subset \(\Omega\) of \(A\) (i.e.,
