Meaningful yet useless? Factors behind the retention of questionable concepts in human geography (2018)
Journal Article
Dymitrow, M., & Brauer, R. (2018). Meaningful yet useless? Factors behind the retention of questionable concepts in human geography. Geografiska annaler. Series B, Human geography, 100(3), 195-219. https://doi.org/10.1080/04353684.2017.1419071

The concepts ‘rural’ and ‘urban’ have long been criticized by geographers for their lack of analytical and explanatory power, yet have remained a vital source for conceptual guidance in human geography. Realizing that the continued use of questionabl... Read More about Meaningful yet useless? Factors behind the retention of questionable concepts in human geography.

Landscapes with different logics: A physicalistic approach to semantic conflicts in spatial planning (2017)
Journal Article
Krzysztofik, R., Dymitrow, M., Biegańska, J., Senetra, A., Gavriilidou, E., Nadolu, B., …Brauer, R. (2017). Landscapes with different logics: A physicalistic approach to semantic conflicts in spatial planning. Quaestiones Geographicae, 36(4), 29-45. https://doi.org/10.1515/quageo-2017-0034

This paper deals with the ways of categorising landscapes as ‘urban’ and ‘rural’ using a physicalist approach, where these terms have special meaning. The aim of this paper is to elaborate on the question whether such a division is still meaningful w...

Performing rurality. But who? (2017)
Journal Article
Dymitrow, M., & Brauer, R. (2017). Performing rurality. But who?. Bulletin of Geography. Socio-economic Series, 38(38), 27-45. https://doi.org/10.1515/bog-2017-0032

Reflective inquiries to better understand ‘the rural’ have tried to embed rural research within the notion of performativity. Performativity assumes that the capacity of language is not simply to communicate but also to consummate action, whereupon c... Read More about Performing rurality. But who?.

Human geography and the hinterland: the case of Torsten Hägerstrand’s ‘belated’ recognition (2017)
Journal Article
Brauer, R., & Dymitrow, M. (2017). Human geography and the hinterland: the case of Torsten Hägerstrand’s ‘belated’ recognition. Moravian Geographical Reports, 25(2), 74-84. https://doi.org/10.1515/mgr-2017-0007

Seeing Human Geography as a nexus of temporally oscillating concepts, this paper investigates the dissemination of scientific ideas with a focus on extra-scientific factors. While scientific progress is usually evaluated in terms of intellectual achi... Read More about Human geography and the hinterland: the case of Torsten Hägerstrand’s ‘belated’ recognition.

Statins attenuate but do not eliminate the reverse epidemiology of total serum cholesterol in patients with non-ischemic chronic heart failure (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Elsevier B.V. Background In patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) increasing levels of total serum cholesterol are associated with improved survival – while statin usage is not. The impact of statin treatment on the “reverse epidemiology”...

Influence of case definition on incidence and outcome of acute coronary syndromes (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016, BMJ Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Objective: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are common, but their incidence and outcome might depend greatly on how data are collected. We compared case ascertainment rates for ACS and myocardial infar... Read More about Influence of case definition on incidence and outcome of acute coronary syndromes.

Land or people? On the iatrogenesis of conflation (2016)
Journal Article

In a wish to abandon essentialism to contingency, this paper looks into whether the rural-urban binary could be a cultural burden so incompatible with the layered realities of advanced deprivation that instead of helping the deprived, it deprives the...
