A regression method for estimating Gini index by decile

open access: yesHumanities & Social Sciences Communications
Based on the three-parametric Lorenz curve proposed by Kakwani (1980), this paper builds a multiple linear regression model to estimate the parameters by the weighted least square method named the regression method. Using the Lorenz curve, the Gini index

Islamic and capitalist economies: Comparison using econophysics models of wealth exchange and redistribution.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Islamic and capitalist economies have several differences, the most fundamental being that the Islamic economy is characterized by the prohibition of interest (riba) and speculation (gharar) and the enforcement of Shariah-compliant profit-loss sharing ...

Redistributive land reforms, agricultural productivity, and structural change: New cross‐national evidence

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.

Automated Feature Extraction and Classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets in the Puck Lagoon via Multisensor Remote Sensing

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a strong framework for the detection and classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets (SCHA) in shallow marine environments using the integration of multibeam echosounder and airborne LiDAR bathymetry with object‐based image analysis and fuzzy logic–based classification.

About the exact and asymptotic distribution of the Gini coefficient

open access: yesRevista de Matemática: Teoría y Aplicaciones, 2010
In this paper we deal with the distribution of the Gini Concentration Index (G). We derive its exact sample distribution which is useful only for small sample sizes and basing on the classic results for L-statistics of Egorov and Nevronov we prove the ...

Single‐Cell RNA Sequencing Informs Precision Targeting of Monogenic Lupus Associated With IKZF1 Haploinsufficiency

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of immune dysregulation in a pediatric patient with monogenic lupus driven by IKZF1 haploinsufficiency. Methods Peripheral immune cells from a patient with IKZF1 haploinsufficiency, patients with lupus with no currently known genetic mutations, and healthy controls were analyzed using single‐cell

Plasma Proteomics Identifies Thousand‐and‐One–Amino Acid Kinase 3 as a Potential Biomarker of Rheumatoid Arthritis Activity and a Novel Therapeutic Target

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Bone destruction associated with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains a major therapeutic challenge, with a lack of reliable molecular markers reflecting bone injury. This study aims to identify novel biomarkers linked to bone destruction in active RA through proteomic analysis, providing new strategies for precise monitoring and targeted

Toward an SDG‐Based Typology for US Nonprofits

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent an emerging institutional logic that nonprofits must navigate alongside existing sector‐specific frameworks. Drawing on institutional logics and organizational hybridity theories, we examine how nonprofits incorporate SDGs into their missions and what this reveals about managing institutional ...
