Why Othering should be considered in research on health inequalities: Theoretical perspectives and research needs
Othering broadly refers to various constructed notions of (non-)belonging and difference that engender marginality and structural inequality.Social-psychological approaches that conceive ingroup and outgroup formations as an interaction between cognitive, emotional, and conative processes are not sufficient to conceptualize Othering.It is important
On the Increasing Convex Order of Relative Spacings of Order Statistics
Relative spacings are relative differences between order statistics.In this context, we extend previous results concerning the increasing convex order of relative spacings of two distributions from the case vitamin c serum of consecutive spacings to general spacings.The sufficient conditions are given in terms of the expected proportional shortfall
