Misrecognition, taken seriously as unjust social subordination, cannot be remedied by eliminating prejudice alone. In this rejoinder to Richard Rorty, it is argued that a politics of recognition and a politics of redistribution can and should be combined. However, an identity politics that displaces redistribution and rei® es group differences is deeply āwed. Here, instead, an alternative ’stat...

Geographic patterns of sarcoidosis have been detected and studied on a global scale. However, the associations between these disease patterns and population characteristics have not been determined. The authors studied the geographic pattern of sarcoidosis in South Carolina and its relation to socioeconomic status (SES) and health status indicators. Hospitalization rates for the period 1985-199...

OBJECTIVES Racial differences in self-rated health at older ages are well documented. African Americans consistently report poorer health, even when education, income, and other health status indicators are controlled. The extent to which neighborhood-level characteristics mediate this association remains largely unexplored. We ask whether neighborhood social and economic resources help to expl...

This work describes a general framework for the prediction of industrial sustainability integrated with process simulators. Even if sustainability is a complex concept, it can be estimated using some indicators or metrics. Two kinds of sustainability indicators are used in the present work: (i) threedimensional indicators (3D-indicators) and (ii) one-dimensional indicators (1D-indicators). The ...

Algorithms for classification and taxonomy based on criteria as information entropy and its production are proposed. Some local anaesthetics, currently in use, are classified using five characteristic chemical properties of different portions of their molecules. Many classification algorithms are based on information entropy. When applying the procedures to sets of moderate size, an excessive n...

In the first part of this paper we have indicated how the techniques and capabilities of theoretical chemistry, together with experimental results, can be used in a mechanistic approach to structure-activity studies of toxicity. In the second part, we have illustrated how this computer-assisted approach has been used to identify and calculate causally related molecular indicators of relative ca...
