How should states and international organizations allocate global health resources? This paper examines proposals for distributing these resources in the literature. First, we look at the literature on the metrics for measuring what matters and consider how they might be modified to avoid some common objections—e.g., that these measures discriminate against the disabled or fail to give due weight
This present contribution presents an approach to making rational choices in face of cluelessness, focusing on effective altruism. I begin by illustrating how effective altruism faces the challenge of cluelessness, which implies a particular kind of incompleteness I call practical incompleteness. I then argue that this is not a reason for proponents of effective altruists to become skeptics, but r
This work is to popularize the method of computing the distribution of the excursion times for a Gaussian process that involves extended and multivariate Rice's formula. The approach was used in numerical implementations of the high-dimensional integration routine and in earlier work it was shown that the computations are more effective and thus more precise than those based on Rice expansions.The
Infrastructure is often viewed through global and promotional lenses, particularly its role in creating market connectivity. However, infrastructure is heavily dependent on and constitutive of local spaces, where ‘frictions’, or disputes, emerge. Drawing on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as a case study, we examine in detail two cases of BRI-related climate change litigation – one in Pakistan,
This paper investigates the treatment of antonymy in Collins COBUILD Advanced Learner’s English Dictionary (2003) in order to find out what kinds of headwords are provided with antonyms as part of their definitions and also discusses the principles for antonym inclusion in the entries. CCALED includes canonical antonyms such as good/bad and dead/alive, as well as more contextually restricted pairi
In this thesis, I explore the labor policy design change in the framework of the EU integration process in Georgia. The thesis aims to understand the incentives for recent changes in the labor policy domain covering the years 2014 and 2024, in particular, whether changes were a product of external incentives stemming from EU integration goals or it was the result of internal political will aiming
In many financial applications, it is important to classify time-series data without any latency while maintaining persistence in the identified states. The authors propose a greedy online classifier that contemporaneously determines which hidden state a new observation belongs to without the need to parse historical observations and without compromising persistence. Their classifier is based on t
Despite a decade-long research history, there are still ongoing debates on the analysis of Object Shift in Mainland Scandinavian, and all syntactic and information-structural accounts have run into empirical and/or conceptual problems. We argue that this debate can be resolved by recognizing that OS is, in fact, a prosodic phenomenon. Our analysis builds on the observatioDespite a decade-long rese
During the past few years we have experienced an extraordinary turbulence in the financial markets. Stock markets in free fall, countless of bankruptcies and government interventions to save huge financial institutions have been regular events. During these times the focal point has been risk management. Poor risk management has been one of the main reasons for the experienced crisis. To be able t
Summary: The purpose of school essay is to investigate the outlook of Staffanstorp´s youth in private finances. Our target groups are all 9 graders who attend at the three different municipal schools in Staffanstorp´s nine-year compulsory school. In our empirical study have we used both qualitative and quantitative strategies for the reason that they complement one another and seize the subject fi
A central dimension of the conflict between Israel and Palestine concerns territorial claims and the ways in which these claims are legitimised to both domestic and international audiences. In this regard, the kibbutz is arguably the most interesting settlement form, as it has both facilitated Israeli territorial claims and attracted admiration internationally for its unique communal structure alo
I en serie omdebatterade rättsfall från 2011 justerade CJEU tillämpningsområdet för EU-rätten på områdena fri rörlighet för personer och unionsmedborgarskapet. ”Zambranoregeln” utgör ett snävt undantag från domstolens regel om rent interna situationer. Om en unionsmedborgare riskerar att de facto förlora denna ställning samt de rättigheter som är knutna till den, genom att tvingas lämna unionens tIn a series of fascinating cases decided in 2011, the CJEU modified its classical approach to the scope of application of EU law in the areas of free movement of persons and Union citizenship. The “Zambrano rule” is a narrow exception to the well-known rule of the “purely internal situation”. If a Union citizen runs the risk of de facto losing his status as Union citizen and the rights thereto att
