Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna studie var att undersöka könsbias i skattningen av ledares ledarskapsförmåga, samt undersöka om könsbias i dessa bedömningar kunde prediceras av deltagarnas grad av sexism. Totalt deltog 136 unga vuxna i Sverige (58.8% kvinnor) i vinjettstudien där de skattade ledare, utifrån en kort text, på fem dimensioner rörande ledarskapsförmåga. Sexism mättes genom Swedish MThe primary aim of this study was to investigate gender bias in the evaluation of leadership ability among leaders and to examine whether these evaluations could be predicted by the participants' degree of sexism. A sample of 136 participants (58.8% women) took part in the vignette study where they scored the leaders, from a short text, across five dimensions regarding leadership ability. Sexi

One of the greatest public health challenges of our time is mental health issues, particularly the increasing prevalence among young adults in Sweden. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence (AI), which is more accessible and widely used than ever before, is being discussed as a promising tool in mental health care. This report investigates the potential of a generative AI-based chatbot to promote ment

For multi-vehicle complex traffic scenarios in shared spaces such as intelligent intersections, safe coordination and trajectory planning is challenging due to computational complexity. To meet this challenge, we introduce a computationally efficient method for generating collision-free trajectories along predefined vehicle paths. We reformulate a constrained minimum-time trajectory planning probl

A lot of previous research has studied the effect that social capital has on trust in the police and describe a person's social network as an important part in deciding the level of social capital, but none have analyzed social relationships and interactions by itself. This study examines the association between social relationships and interactions, generalized trust and trust in the police i

Various devices rely on invasive biometric identifiers, such as voice and facial recognition, raising privacy concerns. Acoustic handclap control presents a privacy-preserving alternative for interaction with computers, as it does not capture speech or visual data. An analysis of the original implementation suggested that existing classifiers were influenced by environmental bias. With the objecti

Telemedicine as a means of remote patient–physician interaction is gaining popularity in nearly every field, and (respiratory) sleep medicine is no exception. Because obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a chronic condition, and requires a continuous treatment and monitoring of therapy success, telematic communications could be useful to establish diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This statement

Despite advances in understanding the mechanisms, risk factors and treatment strategies for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), no approved therapies exist to prevent or delay onset in at-risk individuals or those with elevated biomarkers who do not yet show symptoms. Multiple candidate interventions are now being evaluated in clinical trials in these settings, raising key questions around which populations

Although there has been a considerable increase in the understanding of glioblastoma and investigations into the therapeutic utility of several novel putative active compounds, the prognosis of glioblastoma patients remains dismal. This paradox makes glioblastoma a unique disease, in which the availability of key molecular and biological insight does not translate into therapeutic discovery or imp

Let X = (X(t) : t greater than or equal to 0) be a Levy process. In simulation, one often wants to know at what size it is possible to truncate the small jumps while retaining enough accuracy. A useful tool here is the Edgeworth expansion. We provide a third order expansion together with a uniform error bound, assuming third Levy moment is 0. We next discuss approximating X in the finite variation

BACKGROUND: Immunohistochemical staining for tumor-associated proteins is widely used for the identification of novel prognostic markers. Recently, a tissue-conserving, high-throughput technique, tissue microarray, has been introduced. This technique uses 0.6-mm tissue core biopsy specimens, 500 to 1000 of which are brought into a new paraffin array block, which can be sectioned up to 100 times. M

Thiol (SH) groups play a remarkable role in the cell with their redox state affecting the activity and structure of many enzymes, receptors and transcription factors. In the present work, carbon paste electrodes modified with sulfhydryl oxidase (SOX) were prepared. The proposed biosensor was based on the monitoring of the produced peroxide concentration that correlates with the concentration of re

Optimal sampling design with nonparametric population modeling offers the opportunity to determine pharma-cokinetic parameters for patients in whom blood sampling is restricted. This approach was compared to a standard individualized modeling method for meropenem pharmacokinetics in febrile neutropenic patients. The population modeling program, nonparametric approach of expectation maximization (N

Gaze coordinates are recorded from naive subjects watching a number of video clips. These are used to derive volumes of interest (VOIs) representing the mutual visual interest of the tested subjects. Video frames are then processed in variable resolution contingent on the VOI shapes to produce off-line foveated video. We report on bit rate savings between 30 and 54% due to off-line foveation proir
