The Demographic and Social Construction of Super‐Diversity
Abstract The concept of super‐diversity posits that waves of immigration over several decades expand population heterogeneity on multiple social, demographic, economic, political, and legal dimensions, creating a mosaic of social and cultural life in immigrant‐rich spaces.

Stochastic Simulation Model for Forecasting Index‐Linked Public Expenditure
Abstract This paper introduces a system dynamics (SD) model for analyzing public sector cost growth, where costs are tied to indices. The SD model isolates the effects of automatic indexation, providing probabilistic projections of expenditure growth. It enables testing of alternative indexation strategies and cost‐reduction measures. Findings show how

What's new? Persistent infection with high‐risk human papillomavirus (HPV) causes most invasive cervical cancer cases, leading many countries to transition from cytology to primary HPV‐based screening. Despite the benefits, HPV‐based screening may also lead to unnecessary procedures, psychological burden, and strain on healthcare systems.
