چکیده

The upgrading of the European Commission and the European Parliament’s role in the EU policy-process from 1999 might have been expected to herald a shift away from the previous securityand control-orientation of asylum policy. No such shift occurred. This paper traces the continuity in EU asylum policy’s trajectory to the continuity in its ‘policy-image’: actors seeking to fashion institutional environments in which they can more effectively pursue their preferences can facilitate institutional change by shifting the ‘image’ of a policy – in other words, they can highlight new or neglected problems related to that policy, creating broader pressure for these to be dealt with by new actors in new venues. We disaggregate policyimages into two elements: an element justifying an actor’s presence and function in policymaking, and an element justifying the pursuit of its substantive preferences. We argue that institutional change laid down in the Treaty of Amsterdam was facilitated by a policy-image that lacked the latter element. The newly empowered actors have subsequently struggled to assert their substantive preferences despite their institutional upgrade.

A Bound on the Deviation Probability for Sums of Non-negative Random Variables

A simple bound is presented for the probability that the sum of nonnegative independent random variables is exceeded by its expectation by more than a positive number t. If the variables have the same expectation the bound is slightly weaker than the Bennett and Bernstein inequalities, otherwise it can be significantly stronger. The inequality extends to one-sidedly bounded martingale differenc...

Non-invasive markers associated with liver fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

The diagnosis of fibrosis within liver disease is important for prognosis, stratification for treatment, and monitoring of treatment efficacy. The rising incidence and prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has driven the search for accurate non-invasive tools of liver fibrosis within this condition. With the aid of a systematic review, we explore how the field has evolved from...
