Opis:
In this paper, we take up the problem of axiomatically characterizing what we have referred to in the paper as the additive choice function on the classical domain for choice problems. Apart from an impossibility result for the additive choice function, there is an axiomatic characterization, which as a by-product provides a counterexample to a conjecture for the egalitarian choice function. In an appendix, we provide a proof of an axiomatic characterization of the egalitarian choice function using a superadditivity axiom. In this paper, we also provide proofs of axiomatic characterizations of the family of non-symmetric Nash choice functions and the family of weighted hierarchies of choice functions. Our conclusion is that earlier axiomatizations are essentially preserved on the classical domain for choice problems. The proofs are significant in being non-trivial and very dissimilar to existing proofs for other domains.

Opis:
In this paper we focus on an adverse effect of extensive choice widely known as ‘choice overload’. We draw on the case of Swedish funded pensions for illustration and analyze the consequences of the design that allowed for maximizing the choice set. The analysis shows limitations of employing the rational choice approach to the real choice decisions biased with common psychological factors and demonstrates that government’s responsibility for the privatized pension system does not end with the design. We also emphasize the need for a decent default option, which would mitigate socially harmful results of adverse behavior effects like procrastination, status quo bias or abstaining from choice. After all, privatized pension systems still belong to the sphere of public policy.

Let $ G = (V,E) $ be a simple graph and for every edge $ \mathcal{e} \in E $ let $ L(e) $ be a set (list) of available colors. The graph $ G $ is called $L$-edge colorable if there is a proper edge coloring $ c $ of $ G $ with $ c(\mathcal{e} ) \in L( \mathcal{e} ) $ for all $ \mathcal{e} \in E $. A function $ f : E \rightarrow \mathbb{N} $ is called an edge choice function of $G$ and $G$ is said to be $f$-edge choosable if $G$ is $L$-edge colorable for every list assignment $L$ with $ |L( \mathcal{e} )| = f( \mathcal{e} ) $ for all $ \mathcal{e} \in E $. Set $ \text{size}(f) = \Sigma_{ \mathcal{e} \in E } f(e) $ and define the sum choice index $ \chi_{sc}^' (G) $ as the minimum of $ \text{size} (f) $ over all edge choice functions $f$ of $G$. There exists a greedy coloring of the edges of $G$ which leads to the upper bound $ \chi_{sc}^′ (G) \le 1/2 \Sigma_{ v \in V } d(v)^2 $. A graph is called sec-greedy if its sum choice index equals this upper bound. We present some general results on the sum choice index of graphs including a lower bound and we determine this index for several classes of graphs. Moreover, we present classes of sec-greedy graphs as well as all such graphs of order at most 5.

Opis:
The focus of this paper is the role of emotions in judgments and choices associated with moral issues. Study 1 shows that depending on the strength of emotions when making a moral decision, people become sensitive to the severity and the probability of harm that their decisions can bring to others. A possible interpretation is that depending on the strength of emotions, people in their moral judgments choose to be either utilitarian or deontologist. In Study 2, following the priority heuristic model, we found that in situations in which the violation of moral norms does not evoke strong negative emotions, people are sensitive to quantitative risk parameters (probabilities and outcomes), and the decision-making process requires a relatively longer time. In moral situations in which a violation of the moral norm evokes strong emotions, decision-making is based on arguments other than quantitative risk parameters, and the process takes a shorter time.

Opis:
Over the past few decades, school choice has been a widely debated issue around the globe, following the development of pluralism, liberty, and democracy. In many countries, school choice systems were preceded by residence-based school assignment systems, creating a strong connection between a neighborhood and its schools’ demographic compositions. However, schools often remain highly segregated. School segregation is thus seen as a major problem and is supposedly driven by three main factors: residential segregation, parental school choice, and schools’ selection of pupils. This paper aims to shed light on what research should be focusing on as regards school choice and residential segregation with the following two research questions: What are the links between neighborhood and school choice in the literature? How are neighborhood and school choice connected to school segregation in the literature? Two main findings emerged: (1) the neighborhood-based social networks that parents developed had limited their school choices and (2) neighborhood segregation is one of the most important factors that contributes to school segregation and is related to multi-ethnic and socioeconomic contexts.

Studies on the patterns of marital selection began in the 1920s, and since then researchers have identified a set of variables that should be taken into account in marriage selection research. In this study the following variables are considered: age, nationality, race, social class, environmental background, attitude to faith, religion, attitude to religious practices, education, current employment status, previous marital status, number of marriages, number of children from previous marriages, and financial situation before the present marriage. One hundred and twelve Polish women who married foreigners from non-European cultures took part in the study. Their husbands were representatives of African, Asian and Australian countries; none of them came from Europe or the Americas.The aim of the study is to examine marital selection among intercultural marriages and to provide new knowledge on the subject. In connection with the adopted topic, the purpose of the research and the analysis of the literature on the subject, the main problem of the research was formulated as follows: what are the similarities and differences in marital selection in intercultural marriages?The study revealed that, in most cases, marital selection among the couples who participated in the study followed a similar social biography: the spouses were of a similar age (79.5%) and shared race (90.1%), social class (74.1%), environmental background (61.6%), education (56.2%), attitude to faith (92.8%), and their financial situation before the present marriage (65.2%). The results obtained confirmed Farle’s theory, in which he distinguished three main factors influencing the frequency of intercultural marriages: military service, higher education and place of residence. The analysis of the data indicates that the majority of the respondents lived in big cities (57.1%), and higher education was the most common level of education among both the respondents (60.7%) and their husbands (41.1%).

Background. Metabolic changes caused by hormonal contraception combined with unbalanced diet may pose many threats, and deficiency or excess of nutrients may increase the risk of using such contraceptives. Objective. The purpose of the survey was to assess the dietary choices of young women using hormonal contraceptives, taking into account their general knowledge about the contraception and its impact on their bodies. Material and methods. The survey comprised 67 women aged from 18 to 25 years. In of three-day menus (201 daily food rations) of the women under research the content of energy and most of nutritious ingredients wandered away from recommended values in Poland. Each respondent additionally filled in a questionnaire concerning her: anthropometric data, education, place of residence; the type, name and time of taking contraceptives; purpose for using hormonal contraception along with its determinants; duration of use, breaks in contraceptive practice; occurrence of side effects during contraceptive use; stimulants used; physical activity, incidence of diarrhoea and vomiting, and dietary supplements use. Results. The assessment of nutritional status of young women taking hormonal contraceptives has shown a number of nonconformities. The survey has revealed insufficient energy value of the menus, and incorrect proportions of basic nutrients, from recommended values, what was reflected in insufficient intake of vitamins (A, D, E, C, B1, B3, B6, and folates) and minerals (K, Ca, Mg, Fe). An excessive consumption of proteins, animal-based in particular, and insufficient consumption of lipids and carbohydrates, polysaccharides in particular, what resulted in insufficient consumption of dietary fibre. Conclusions. Nutritional choices of the respondents were typical to their gender and age, but were not adjusted to the use of hormonal contraceptives. Side effects observed by the respondents, mainly weight gain, may have been a summary result of improper eating behaviors that facilitated accumulation of body fat and water.
Wprowadzenie. Zachodzące przy stosowaniu antykoncepcji hormonalnej zmiany metaboliczne, w połączeniu ze źle zbilansowaną dietą, mogą nieść ze sobą wiele zagrożeń, a niedobór lub nadmiar składników odżywczych pogłębiać ryzyko stosowania tego rodzaju antykoncepcji. Cel. Celem pracy była ocena sposobu żywienia oraz stanu odżywienia młodych kobiet stosujących antykoncepcję hormonalną, z uwzględnieniem poziomu ogólnej wiedzy na temat antykoncepcji i jej wpływu na organizm. Materiał i metody. W badaniu udział wzięło 67 kobiet w wieku 18-25 lat. Obliczono wartość energetyczną i odżywczą trzydniowych jadłospisów (201 całodziennych racji pokarmowych), porównując je, po uwzględnieniu strat, z normą dla badanej grupy wiekowej, w stosunku do obowiązujących w Polsce zaleceń. Dodatkowo kobiety wypełniały ankietę zawierającą pytania o: wiek, wzrost, masę ciała, wykształcenie, miejsce zamieszkania; rodzaj, nazwę oraz godziny, w których respondentka przyjmuje środek antykoncepcyjny; cele stosowanej antykoncepcji hormonalnej oraz determinanty jej wyboru; długość okresu stosowania i przerwy w stosowaniu antykoncepcji; występowaniu skutków ubocznych w czasie stosowania antykoncepcji; stosowanych używkach (tytoń); aktywność fizyczną, dzienne spożyciu wody, częstość występowania biegunek i wymiotów oraz stosowanie suplementów diety. Wyniki. Uzyskane wyniki badań dotyczące oceny sposobu żywienia oraz stanu odżywienia badanych kobiet wykazały wiele nieprawidłowości w stosunku do obowiązujących zaleceń [5]. Stwierdzono zbyt niską wartość energetyczną diety oraz niewłaściwe proporcje w spożyciu podstawowych składników odżywczych co znalazło swoje odbicie w niewystarczającym spożyciu witamin (A, D, E, C, B1, B3, B6, folianów) i składników mineralnych (potas, wapń, magnez, żelazo). Stwierdzono nadmierne spożycie białka, szczególnie zwierzęcego oraz niewystarczające lipidów. W ocenianych jadłospisach brakowało także węglowodanów, szczególnie złożonych, niewystarczające było też spożycie błonnika pokarmowego.Wnioski. Sposób żywienia badanych kobiet był typowy dla płci i wieku, ale nie uwzględniał faktu stosowania przez nie hormonalnej antykoncepcji. Zgłaszane przez kobiety objawy uboczne w postaci przyrostu masy ciała mogły być wynikiem sumy nieprawidłowych zachowań żywieniowych sprzyjających gromadzeniu w organizmie tkanki tłuszczowej i wody.

Keynes argues that a beauty contest in financial markets is a combination of rational higher-order beliefs and market psychology or animal spirits. We find that a stable equilibrium, where also market psychology is included, can be possible if uninformed investors agree to reduce their required rate of return indicating that they enlarge the risk of their investment with the animal spirits component.

Opis:
The topic of this paper is the foundation for individual rights proposed by David Gauthier in his seminal 1986 book Morals by Agreement, and particularly the role of conception of rationality in this foundation. The foundation of rights is a part of Gauthier’s broader enterprise: to ground morals in rationality – more specifically, in the economic conception of rationality. Because of the importance of this conception for the whole of Gauthier’s project, we reconstruct first the conception of rationality which can be found in decision theory and game theory, presenting simultaneously in a relatively non-technical way some basic concepts of the aforementioned disciplines. We proceed then to reconstruction of the foundation of rights itself – it turns on Gauthier’s interpretation of the so-called “Lockean proviso.” Lastly, we turn to the connection between rationality and foundation of rights. It is to be found in the narrow compliance – the disposition to enter only into cooperation which satisfies conditions of fairness set out in part by the Lockean proviso.

Opis:
The pivotal point in the Austrian literature on homogeneity, choice and indifference was constituted by Nozick’s On Austrian Methodology. Nozick provoked a long debate on the above notions within Austrianism. The aim of this paper is to elaborate such an account of homogeneity that would take the sting out of Nozick’s challenge and allow for non-trivial formulation of the law of diminishing marginal utility. Hence, we shall first take a closer look at the debate on indifference within the Austrian camp, while defending and building upon the Hoppean account vis-à-vis Block’s criticism. Our justification of the Hoppean position shall consist in showing that his account of the correct description of an action is not an ad hoc move aimed at solving just one problem of indifference but is highly intuitive and widely applicable. We conclude by restating the above-mentioned law, thus demonstrating that the Nozickian objection can be successfully replied.

Opis:
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy occurring in women. The treatment of breast cancer is a complex, multistep process involving surgical treatment, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and very often rehabilitation. After the treatment of the underlying disease, or still in its course, there remains a problem of deformation of the chest. Although the number of women opting for breast reconstructive surgery increases every year, the number of such procedures in Poland is low. The aim of the study was to investigate the reasons why women after amputation of the breast due to cancer are not likely to undergo breast reconstructive surgery. Material and methods. The study comprised 73 women, residents of the province of Silesia, aged between 37 and 79 years, who had undergone mastectomy for malignancy in the years 1987-2013. Results. From all of the reasons given by women for refraining from breast reconstruction, the most frequently pointed was the fear of being subjected to further surgery (38.3%). 23 women (31.5%) admitted that they were also afraid of postoperative pain. Similarly, a common response (35.6%) was that it is not essential for their mental state, and 30% of respondents fully accepted their appearance after mastectomy. Concern about the effect of failed reconstruction was reported by 24.6% of the women, and the fear that the surgery could negatively affect the process of cancer treatment by 27.4% of respondents. Lack of information about the capabilities and knowledge of breast reconstruction methods was not an important factor in decision-making. Conclusions. Most of the surveyed women who abandon breast reconstruction surgery, make this decision on the basis of more than one reasons. Fear of undergoing a second surgical procedure and pain related to it were the most important reasons for the refusal of breast reconstruction. An important factor in the decision to desist from breast reconstruction is the age of the patients.
