Comparative Ethics of Modern Payment Models by Jacob Riegler

“…The greatest difference in care is seen in the chronically ill, the poor, and those with high burdens based on the social determinants of health.[32] While value-based payments have been touted as a potential route to incentivize care for these populations, comparative studies show that those of lower socioeconomic status experienced no benefit when using a value-based modifier.[33] Other scholars have pointed out that these payment models are both slower to roll out in low-resource areas and are more likely to have the unintended consequence of leading to lower funding in these areas.[34] Therefore, the disparity may be a lack of access to the model rather than a reflection of its capabilities. …”

Writing research differently by Margaret Malone, Jourdan Davis, Stephen Muecke, Karen Schwartz, Chantal Trudel, Liz Weaver

“…This themed volume explores writing research differently: both the social practices that might foster experimentation and participation and the semiotic innovations needed to articulate knowledge plurality in our published scholarly texts.

Interior Convection Regime, Host Star Luminosity, and Predicted Atmospheric CO2 Abundance in Terrestrial Exoplanets by Antonin Affholder, Stéphane Mazevet, Boris Sauterey, Dániel Apai, Régis Ferrière

“…We use end-member models of volcanic outgassing and crust weathering for the stagnant- and mobile-lid convection regimes, which we couple to models of atmospheric chemistry and climate and ocean chemistry to simulate the atmospheric evolution of these worlds in the HZ. In our simulations under the two alternate regimes, we find that the fraction of planets possessing climates consistent with surface liquid water is virtually the same. …”
