... Macdonald et al. [15] identified spatial clusters using the SatScan methodology [38]. Badji et al. [39] also precisely located these kinds of establishments and showed that people residing in close proximity to gambling outlets are more likely to gamble. ...

... Studies have shown the relationship between APA and cell developmental stage Ulitsky et al., 2012), tissue-specificity (Lianoglou et al., 2013), and various diseases (Chang et al., 2017), including obesity (Brutman et al., 2018), one of the most significant public health challenges (Lancsar et al., 2022). For example, Brutman et al. (2018) identified 763 differentially expressed coding genes and one miRNA with APA in the hypothalamus of a high-fat-diet-induced obesity rat model. ...

... So gehören Menschen mit insbesondere schweren psychischen Störungen zu den Hauptgefährdeten. Es gibt weiterhin Hinweise, dass unter anderem junge Frauen besonders von den psychischen Folgen von wirtschaftlichen Rezessionen betroffen sind, insbesondere diejenigen in unsicheren Arbeitsverhältnissen oder mit einem niedrigen sozioökonomischen Status (Black et al., 2022). Andere Untersuchungen sehen insbesondere Männer im arbeitsfähigen Alter gefährdet (Martin-Carrasco et al., 2016). ...

... People can view themselves and the traumatic experience from a broader perspective by affirming selfvalues in areas unrelated to the threat. Patients who have experienced a cancer event develop a "survivor's mission" during the rehabilitation period, transforming the individual's perception from vulnerability and distrust after trauma to a more positive view of others and the world [32]. "Now I no longer complain about this disease. ...

... A study by Arnup and colleagues (2021) explored associations between how children used their time and the experience of financial hardship and found financial hardship to be associated with increased screen time, particularly passive screen time (e.g. watching TV), and reduced sleep [23]. This suggests that children from more affluent families are more likely to allocate time in a manner that accumulates the human and social capital required for optimal development. ...

... For instance, women are more likely to be a primary caregiver (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2020), have insecure employment (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2021), be victims of assault at work, home, or while commuting (Gender Equity Victoria, 2021), and be more negatively impacted during times of economic stress and uncertainty such as a global pandemic (Andersen, Toubøl, Kirkegaard, & Bang Carlsen, 2021;Black, Jackson, & Johnston, 2021;Preston, 2021). A smartphone can play a fundamentally different role for women and may facilitate otherwise unattainable benefits specific to their social needs and well-being (Bloom, Gielen, & Glass, 2016;Crowe & Middleton, 2012;Starks, Dillahunt, & Haimson, 2019). ...

... However, prior research has documented that this is not the case: non-performance related characteristics such as gender (e.g., Mengel et al. 2019, Card et al. 2020, ethnic background (e.g., Price & Wolfers 2010, Shayo & Zussman 2011, Parsons et al. 2011, and nationality (e.g., Spierdijk & Vellekoop 2009, Sandberg 2018 seem to influence the decisions of the evaluators even among the group of well-trained and selected experts. In the same way, premiums and penalties due to physical attributes such as attractiveness, body mass index, and height have been intensively studied as a potential source of discrimination in education and the labour market (e.g., Persico et al. 2004, Mobius & Rosenblat 2006, Case & Paxson 2008, Stinebrickner et al. 2019, Black & de New 2020, Goulão et al. 2024. ...

... Moreover, Arnup et al. (Arnup et al., 2020) find that deprived children spend significantly more time in front of screens, with passive screen time and excessive screen time being prevalent. Children are unlikely to get up to date information from this kind of activity. ...

... These are all structural characteristics that have been associated with harm in EGM use (Dixon et al., 2014;Dixon et al., 2015;Livingstone, 2017;Palmer et al., 2024;Pisklak et al., 2020). Furthermore, coin pusher machines are typically housed in UK seaside arcades, and often placed in close physical proximity with EGMs, which could help ease the transition to these more harmful gambling formats (Badji et al., 2020;Russell et al., 2023). In particular, direct lived experience from former coin pusher machine users could be helpful (Ortiz et al., 2021), especially given the lack of available longitudinal evidence. ...

... Taken together, the first and third clusters directly connect the financing of social welfare with the most relevant global challenges, such as criminal justice (Collins, 2011;Fox and Albertson, 2011;Williams and Treffers, 2021), unemployability (Lavee et al., 2018), infrastructures (Singla et al., 2021), health (Fitzgerald, 2013;Gruyter et al., 2020;Katz et al., 2018;Rowe and Stephenson, 2016;Trupin et al., 2014), health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic (Kabli et al., 2021) and a mixture of global development goals (Rizzello and Kabli, 2020). ...
