Developable Spaces and Problems of Fletcher and Lindgren
No full textIn this paper, we answer two questions of P. Fletcher and W. Lindgren. We prove that a space is and has a quasi----diagonal if and only if it is developable, a space is --space with a quasi----diagonal if and only if it is semi--stratifiable, a space is , quasi----space and has a quasi----diagonal if and only if is developable and a space is metrizable if and only if it is paracompact --space with a quasi----diagonal
Asymmetric Information and the Demand for Voluntary Health Insurance in Europe
No full textSeveral past studies have found health risk to be negatively correlated with the probability of voluntary health insurance. This is contrary to what one would expect from standard textbook models of adverse selection and moral hazard. The two most common explanations to the counter-intuitive result are either (1) that risk-aversion is correlated with health — i.e. that healthier individuals are also more risk-averse — or (2) that insurers are able to discriminate among customers based on observable health-risk characteristics. We revisited these arguments, using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). Self-assessed health served as an indicator of risk: better health, lower risk. We did, indeed, observe a negative correlation between risk and insurance but found no evidence of heterogeneous risk-preferences as an explanation to our finding.
The Australian Asbestos Network – how journalism can address a public health disaster
No full textAsbestos presents an ongoing health disaster worldwide. First through mining and manufacturing, and now through workplaces and the home, exposure to asbestos is presenting a public health hazard that will continue well into the 21st century. Yet it is a hidden epidemic with litigation often silencing the voices that could attest to the destructive impact of what was once called the ‘magic mineral’. This paper describes a unique collaboration between journalists, doctors and public health researchers where journalistic techniques are used to bring the peoples’ stories of suffering and caring to public attention. The project illustrates the value of interdisciplinary collaboration as well as demonstrating how journalistic activity can be the subject of legitimate academic research. The outcome is a website, with three functions: first, as an historical archive of asbestos stories through audio and video interviews with asbestos diseases sufferers, their families and carers; second, as a one-stop-shop for public health information about asbestos risk where journalism skills are employed to translate often complex information into accessible language and formats; and third, as the nucleus for a future online community where patients and doctors can interact and experiment with more collaborative models of medical and public health interventions
