Assessing changes in social determinants of health inequalities in South Africa : a decomposition analysis

International Journal for Equity in Health, 2018
Background Despite various policy interventions that have targeted reductions in socio-economic inequalities in health and health care in post-Apartheid South Africa, evidence suggests that not much has really changed. In particular, health inequalities,

Identifying High‐Impact Solutions to Address Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities in Lupus: A Consensus‐Based Approach

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective We conducted formative research aimed at identifying solutions that address inequitable health outcomes in lupus due to adverse social determinants of health. Methods We conducted a search for keywords which provided insights into potential solutions and initiatives underway. An advisory panel of lupus experts iteratively reviewed the list of

Modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and transportation inequalities

, 2004
We present a class of modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality, interpolating between Poincar\'e and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, suitable for measures of the type $\exp(-|x|^\al)$ or more complex $\exp(-|x|^\al\log^\beta(2+|x|))$ ($\al\in]1,2[$ and $

A Q‐Learning Algorithm to Solve the Two‐Player Zero‐Sum Game Problem for Nonlinear Systems

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 566-581, March 2025.
A Q‐learning algorithm to solve the two‐player zero‐sum game problem for nonlinear systems. ABSTRACT This paper deals with the two‐player zero‐sum game problem, which is a bounded L2$$ {L}_2 $$‐gain robust control problem. Finding an analytical solution to the complex Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Issacs (HJI) equation is a challenging task.

Decomposition of gendered income-related inequalities in multiple biological cardiovascular risk factors in a middle-aged population

International Journal for Equity in Health, 2018
Background Socioeconomic inequalities in cardiovascular disease seem to widen or endure in Sweden. However, research on inequalities in antecedent cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs), and particularly what underpins them, is scarce.

Data‐Driven Distributed Safe Control Design for Multi‐Agent Systems

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
This paper presents a data‐driven control barrier function (CBF) technique for ensuring safe control of multi‐agent systems (MASs) with uncertain linear dynamics. A data‐driven quadratic programming (QP) optimization is first developed for CBF‐based safe control of single‐agent systems using a nonlinear controller. This approach is then extended to the

On McDiarmid's concentration inequality

Electronic Communications in Probability, 2013
In this paper we improve the rate function in the McDiarmid concentration inequality  for separately Lipschitz functions of independent random variables. In particular the rate function tends to infinity at the boundary. We also prove that in some cases the usual normalization factor is not adequate and may be improved.

Fluorophobic Effect Enables Selective Detection of PFAS in Water with Electrolyte‐Gated Organic Transistors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
PerFluoroAlkyl Substances (PFAS) are responsible of major and persistent environmental pollution worldwide. This work demonstrates an ultra‐sensitive sensor for PFAS based on an organic transistor whose gate is functionalized with a binary self‐assembled monolayer containing a perfluorinated molecule.
