Scholars have argued that institutional inequities and control over resources are linked to gender-based violence. However, psychologists have yet to reposition their research questions to examine how structural inequities lead to power imbalances and gender-based norms that perpetuate threats to women’s health and safety. This study provides a theoretical framework for, and an examination of, ...

This paper describes a software-engineering problem, proposes a solution and shows how that solution influences language design. In many object-oriented programming languages, when implementing equality the programmer has to make sure that it obeys a set of rules, called equality contract. Not only is it difficult to adhere to these seemingly simple rules, but the equality contract itself is a ...

An equality relation on the terms of the A-calculus is an equivalence relation closed under the (syntactical) operations of application and A-abstraction. We may distinguish between syntactic and semantic ways of introducing equality relations, /^-equality is introduced syntactically; it is the least equality relation satisfying the equations for aand ^-conversion. For a more subtle way of intr...

An active area of public health policy in the United States is policy meant to promote healthy eating, reduce overconsumption of food, and prevent overweight/obesity. Public discussion of such obesity prevention policies includes intense ethical disagreement. We suggest that some ethical disagreements about obesity prevention policies can be seen as rooted in a common concern with equality or w...

Based on the values-as-truisms hypothesis and inoculation theory, two experiments tested whether providing cognitive defenses for the value of equality induces resistance against a message attacking this value. Experiment 1 found that participants who generated cognitive support in an active-supportive or an active-refutational defense were less persuaded by a subsequent message attacking equal...

Certificates of non-negativity are fundamental tools in optimization. A “certificate” is generally understood as an expression that makes the non-negativity of the function in question evident. Some classical certificates of non-negativity are Farkas Lemma and the S-lemma. The lift-and-project procedure can be seen as a certificate of non-negativity for affine functions over the union of two po...

Cross-national differences in adolescent life satisfaction in Europe and North America are consistent, but remain poorly understood. While previous studies have predominantly focused on the explanatory role of economic factors, such as national wealth and income equality, they revealed weak associations, at most. This study examines whether societal gender equality can explain the observed cros...
