The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in Europe

BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies, 2020
Background While the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has become increasingly popular in western societies, we do not understand why CAM use is more frequent in some countries than in others.

Convex Sobolev inequalities and spectral gap [PDF]

, 2005
This note is devoted to the proof of convex Sobolev (or generalized Poincar\'{e}) inequalities which interpolate between spectral gap (or Poincar\'{e}) inequalities and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities.

Health Inequalities [PDF]

Hastings Center Report, 2020
AbstractHealth inequalities are embedded in a complex array of social, political, and economic inequalities. Responding to health inequalities will require systematic action targeting all the underlying (“upstream”) social determinants that powerfully affect health and well‐being. Systemic inequalities are a major reason for the rise of modern populism

Poincar\'e inequality for non euclidean metrics and transportation cost inequalities on $\mathbb{R}^d$ [PDF]

, 2007
In this paper, we consider Poincar\'e inequalities for non euclidean metrics on $\mathbb{R}^d$. These inequalities enable us to derive precise dimension free concentration inequalities for product measures. This technique is appropriate for a large scope

Measuring public knowledge on nuclear weapons in the post-Cold War: dimensionality and measurement invariance across eight European countries

Measurement Instruments for the Social Sciences, 2021
Research on public opinion and international security has extensively examined attitudes toward nuclear weapons, but the diffusion of basic knowledge about nuclear weapons among the everyday citizens has nevertheless been mostly missed.

Informing investment to reduce inequalities: a modelling approach [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Reducing health inequalities is an important policy objective but there is limited quantitative information about the impact of specific interventions.

A general computer program for the Bell detection loophole [PDF]

, 2000
The difference between ideal experiments to test Bell's weak nonlocality and the real experiments leads to loopholes. Ideal experiments involve either inequalities (Bell) or equalities (Greenberger, Horne, Zeilinger).

Health shocks adversely impact participation in the labour force in a working age population: a longitudinal analysis

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, 2013
Background : It is well understood that health affects labour force participation (LFP). However, much of the published research has been on older (retiring age) populations and using subjective health measures. This paper aims to assess the impact of an

Non-commutative Nash inequalities [PDF]

, 2015
A set of functional inequalities - called Nash inequalities - are introduced and analyzed in the context of quantum Markov process mixing. The basic theory of Nash inequalities is extended to the setting of non-commutative Lp spaces, where their ...
