Europe falling behind US and China in pharma innovation, warns AstraZeneca chief
https://www.ft.com/content/2c0d4917-f837-4aad-be54-6a727800c3e4
<< Europe absolutely does need to invest more in R&D, but for this case, the lean to the US is mostly due to the scandalous drug pricing and extortionate healthcare practices that US big pharma packages as innovation.
(As you can see by the stunning lack of US innovation in unprofitable medicine: paediatric, rare illnesses, those associated like lower socio-economic groups, ...)

The Role of Inclusion, Control, and Ownership in Workplace AI-Mediated Communication
Given large language models' (LLMs) increasing integration into workplace software, it is important to examine how biases in the models may impact workers. For example, stylistic biases in the language suggested by LLMs may cause feelings of alienation and result in increased labor for individuals or groups whose style does not match. We examine how such writer-style bias impacts inclusion, control, and ownership over the work when co-writing with LLMs. In an online experiment, participants wro…

Use of Euler's theorem in the elucidation of economic concepts in goods exchange
Starting from a plausible assumption about the Total Revenue concept, a system of economic agents, that simulates the exchange of goods, is studied. Following a methodology equivalent to that used in the statistical-mechanical determination of the distribution of energies in a physical system, it is shown that the price of the exchanged goods arises naturally, as well as the well-known ``Law of demand". It is also shown that by using Euler's Theorem of homogeneous functions, the conditions emer…

Exit Ripple Effects: Understanding the Disruption of Socialization Networks Following Employee Departures
Amidst growing uncertainty and frequent restructurings, the impacts of employee exits are becoming one of the central concerns for organizations. Using rich communication data from a large holding company, we examine the effects of employee departures on socialization networks among the remaining coworkers. Specifically, we investigate how network metrics change among people who historically interacted with departing employees. We find evidence of ``breakdown" in communication among the remaini…
