Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Diagnosing the system: Mental health, necropolitical uncare, and the abolition of migration detention

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the psychological effects of migration detention in the European Union's Closed Controlled Access Center (CCAC) on Samos through an ecological lens. It explores a double normalization of suffering: the brutalization of necropolitical migration governance and the simultaneous understanding of resulting distress as an ...

Did AI win after all?

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Algorithmic platforms are reshaping how people work and how human activity is rendered intelligible within data‐intensive systems. This paper argues that Heidegger's philosophy of technology, specifically Ge‐stell (enframing) and Poiesis (bringing‐forth), offers information science a conceptual vocabulary for understanding both algorithmic ...

Rocavorexant, a novel, selective orexin‐1 receptor antagonist: Safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics in healthy adults and individuals with opioid use disorder

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Rocavorexant (INDV‐2000), a selective orexin‐1 receptor antagonist, reduces drug self‐administration and anxiety in nonclinical studies. This Phase 1 programme evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of rocavorexant in healthy volunteers and treatment‐seeking individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD).
