PERCEIVED DISCRIMINATION AS A MODIFIER OF HEALTH, DISEASE, AND MEDICINE: EMPIRICAL DATA FROM THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Perceived discrimination as a modifier of health, disease, and medicine: empirical data from the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract Increasing reports of long-term symptoms following COVID-19 infection, even among mild cases, necessitate systematic investigation into the prevalence and type of lasting illness.Notably, there is limited data regarding the influence of social determinants of health, like perceived discrimination and economic stress, that may exacerbate CO

Perforated steel for realizing extraordinary ductility under compression: Testing and finite element modeling

One key obstacle restricting the application of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars from being used as reinforcement in structural concrete is the significantly reduced ductility because FRP under tension is linear elastic up to brittle rupture at small strain.Recently, a new structural concept, compression yielding (CY), has been proposed as a way
