Today we stand together on the side of our Ukrainian colleagues, and on the side of all of Ukraine. We ask our colleagues around the world to join us. Together we condemn Russian aggression. Together we reject the absurd ideology in the name of which the Russian aggressor denies Ukraine its right to existence, self-governance and sovereignty. We stand together with Ukraine.

Proxy Crimes - a new article co-authored by Piotr Bystranowski
“Proxy crimes” is a phrase loosely used to refer to conduct that is punished only as a means to target other harmful conduct. Many criminal law scholars find the criminalization of this type of conduct unjustifiable from a retributivist perspective, while others note that proxy criminalization can contribute to mass incarceration and overcriminalization. Given the importance of these problems, a systematic analysis of proxy crimes, currently absent in the criminal law literature, is needed.

Half a Century of Bioethics and Philosophy of Medicine. A Topic-Modeling Study - a new article by Piotr Bystranowski, Vilius Dranseika and Tomasz Żuradzki forthcoming in Bioethics
Topic modeling–a text-mining technique often used to uncover thematic structures in large collections of texts–has been increasingly frequently employed in the context of analysis of scholarly output. In this study, we construct a corpus of 19,488 texts published since 1971 in seven leading journals in the field of bioethics and philosophy of medicine and we fit a topic model, using the latent Dirichlet algorithm (K = 100).

Is meta-analysis of RCTs assessing the efficacy of interventions a reliable source of evidence for therapeutic decisions? - a new article by Mariusz Maziarz
Literature-based meta-analysis is a standard technique applied to pool results of individual studies used in medicine and social sciences. It has been criticized for being too malleable to constrain results, averaging incomparable values, lacking a measure of evidence's strength, and problems with a systematic bias of individual studies. We argue against using literature-based meta-analysis of RCTs to assess treatment efficacy and show that therapeutic decisions based on meta-analytic average are not optimal given the full scope of existing evidence.

Regret Averse Opinion Aggregation - a new publication by Lee Elkin
It is often suggested that when opinions differ among individuals in a group, the opinions should be aggregated to form a compromise. This paper compares two approaches to aggregating opinions, linear pooling and what I call opinion agglomeration. In evaluating both strategies, I propose a pragmatic criterion, No Regrets, entailing that an aggregation strategy should prevent groups from buying and selling bets on events at prices regretted by their members.
