Computational Research in Ethnic and Migration Studies
This book showcases the potential of computational approaches for research questions at the heart of migration and integration research via a set of original, cutting-edge empirical studies by a diverse, international team of authors. Why do people emigrate? Do weather conditions and climate change affect decisions to migrate? How do migration networks evolve on a global scale? Can we predict refugee movements? How do host communities respond to the influx of refugees? Do right-wing populist parties get stronger where lots of refugees are located? Do terror attacks lead to more hostility towards immigrants? What mechanisms explain neighborhood ethnic segregation? The collection of studies in...

Hormones and Economic Behavior
Behavioral correlates of hormones, emphasized by psychologists, have captured the attention of economists in the past years. Behavioral economists, in particular, have investigated the possible roles of hormones on economic decision making and behavior as well as social preferences and cognitive abilities. Testosterone, oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin and stress hormones are the foremost studied ones in economic contexts. Yet, the results are mixed and the relationship between hormones and economic behavior is under-investigated to this date. Hormone levels are measurable and manipulatable (e.g. activate, de-activate, block). The fact that the behavioral economics also employs experimental met...
Prioritization in Medicine
The gap between a rising demand for health care services on the one side and scarce resources on the other, is leading to a growing pressure on decision-making processes. Hence, prioritization in medicine has become an increasingly important issue for assuring stability of health systems and improving the capability of health care. The present volume addresses normative dimensions of methodological and theoretical approaches, the legal basis behind priority setting as well as international experiences concerning the normative framework and the process of priority setting. It also examines specific criteria for prioritization and discusses economic evaluations. Contributing authors from a broad range of scientific disciplines discuss prioritization within an international dialogue.
Three Tweets to Midnight
Disinformation and misinformation have always been part of conflict. But as the essays in this volume outline, the rise of social media and the new global information ecosystem have created conditions for the spread of propaganda like never before—with potentially disastrous results. In our "post-truth" era of bots, trolls, and intemperate presidential tweets, popular social platforms like Twitter and Facebook provide a growing medium for manipulation of information directed to individuals, institutions, and global leaders. A new type of warfare is being fought online each day, often in 280 characters or fewer. Targeted influence campaigns have been waged in at least forty-eight countries ...
Good Habits, Bad Habits: Cara Membentuk Kebiasaan Baik untuk Menghasilkan Perubahan Positif
Kita menghabiskan 43% hari kita melakukan tindakan tanpa memikirkannya. Cara kita merespons orang dan membawa diri dalam rapat, apa yang kita beli, serta kapan dan bagaimana kita berolahraga, makan, dan minumÑsemua itu kita lakukan tanpa sadar sebagai hasil dari kebiasaan. Namun, ketika ingin mengubah diri, kita berharap diri sadar kita, keteguhan dan niat kita, cukup untuk menghasilkan perubahan yang positif. Itulah sebabnya, kita hampir selalu gagal. Lalu bagaimana kalau kita bisa mengasah kekuatan luar biasa pikiran bawah sadar, yang sudah menentukan begitu banyak tindakan kita, agar kita benar-benar mencapai sasaran yang kita tetapkan? Berdasarkan penelitian selama tiga dekade, Wendy Wo...
Preference Change
Changing preferencesis a phenomenonoften invoked but rarely properlyaccounted for. Throughout the history of the social sciences, researchers have come against the possibility that their subjects’ preferenceswere affected by the phenomenato be explainedor by otherfactorsnot taken into accountin the explanation.Sporadically, attempts have been made to systematically investigate these in uences, but none of these seems to have had a lasting impact. Today we are still not much further with respect to preference change than we were at the middle of the last century. This anthology hopes to provide a new impulse for research into this important subject. In particular, we have chosen two routes ...
