Redistributive effects of health care out-of-pocket payments in Cameroon

International Journal for Equity in Health, 2021
Background The bulk of health care financing in Cameroon is derived from out-of-pocket payments. Given that poverty is pervasive, with a third of the population living below the poverty line, health care financing from out-of-pocket payments is likely to

Semi-Progressions

Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 1996
There are several ways to generalize property ``\(AP\)'' of a set of positive integers to contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions [cf. \textit{T. C. Brown}, \textit{P. Erdös}, and the second author, J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 53, No. 1, 81-95 (1990; Zbl 0699.10069)] or \textit{B. M. Landman} and \textit{R. N. Greenwell} [J. Comb. Math.

On the Nature of Progress [PDF]

, 2011
We identify a simple relationship that unifies seemingly unrelated progress conditions ranging from the deadlock-free and starvation-free properties common to lock-based systems, to non-blocking conditions such as obstruction-freedom, lock-freedom, and wait-freedom.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Observations from the U.S. Federal Income Tax to Distinguish Between Measures of Progressivity and Redistributive Capacity

Central European Public Administration Review, 2016
This study provides insights on the attributes of a tax that are measured by two different classes of progressivity indices – those defined by Kakwani (1977), Suits (1977), Stroup (2005), and Mathews (2016) and those defined by Musgrave & Thin (1948 ...

Optimal Taxation and Investment‑ Specific Technological Change

Notas Económicas, 2020
In this paper, we look at the relationship between Investment Specific Technological Change (ISTC) and optimal level of labor income progressivity. We develop an incomplete markets overlapping generations model that matches relevant features of the US ...

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses
