The incidence of such diseases as cancer, obesity, and diabetes are increasing in occurrence, urging us to think fundamentally and use a broader perspective to identify their connection and revolutionize treatments. The understanding of biological data derived from studying diseases can be enhanced by theories and mathematical models, which clarify the big picture and help to reveal the overarching mechanisms that govern complex biological phenomena.<MetabolismDisordersSystems biologyBiological modelsGenetic disordersMetabolismDisorders.Systems biology.Biological models.Genetic disorders.616.3/9Wang Guanyu(Physicist),1697647MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910808866503321Analysis of complex diseases4078532UNINA02835nam 22005175 450 991025503150332120251107103438.09783319558073331955807210.1007/978-3-319-55807-3(PPN)287996247(CKB)4220000000000214(DE-He213)978-3-319-55807-3(MiAaPQ)EBC4855822(Perlego)3496594(MiAaPQ)EBC6242041(EXLCZ)99422000000000021420170506d2017 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierHuman Agency and Behavioral Economics Nudging Fast and Slow /by Cass R.

Introduction: Agency and Control -- 2. People Like Nudges (Mostly) -- 3. People Prefer Educative Nudges (Kind Of) -- 4. How to Choose -- 5. “What Route Would You Like Me To Take?” Paternalists Who Force Choices.This Palgrave Pivot offers comprehensive evidence about what people actually think of "nudge" policies designed to steer decision makers' choices in positive directions. The data reveal that people in diverse nations generally favor nudges by strong majorities, with a preference for educative efforts - such as calorie labels - that equip individuals to make the best decisions for their own lives. On the other hand, there are significant arguments for noneducational nudges - such as automatic enrollment in savings plans - as they allow people to devote their scarce time and attention to their most pressing concerns.    The decision to use either educative or noneducative nudges raises fundamental questions about human freedom in both theory and practice. Sunstein's findings and analysis offer lessons for those involved in law and policy who are choosing which method to support as the most effective way to encourage lifestyle changes.Palgrave Advances in Behavioral Economics,2662-3854Experimental economicsFinance, PublicExperimental EconomicsPublic EconomicsExperimental economics.Finance, Public.Experimental Economics.Public Economics.330.019Sunstein Cass R145553BOOK9910255031503321Human agency and behavioral economics2105732UNINA
