We study the role of self-promotion and career advice in sustaining gender differences in labor market outcomes. We conduct an online experiment in which “advisers” advise “workers” to choose between a more ambitious and a less ambitious task based on the worker’s subjective self-assessment. We find that women have lower self-assessments and receive less ambitious career advice as a result. We als
To examine whether processing of negated meanings is facilitated in highly predictable contexts and proceeds incrementally rather than with a delay, we asked participants to read highly constraining sentences containing negated adjectives (e.g., awake/responding/commercial) that were either strongly expected in a high-cloze condition (awake), weakly expected in a low-cloze condition (responding),
Vi har sedan 2009 ordnat seminarier som ger klara och handfasta besked på centrala fastighetsrättsliga ämnen. Denna gång är ämnet Grannelagsrätt. Rättsförhållanden mellan grannar i 3 kap jordabalken utgör grunden för grannelagsrätten, men grannelagsrättsliga frågor regleras även i miljöbalken och plan- och bygglagen.
BACKGROUND: The cross-sectional association between cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO 2) and heart failure (HF) has been previously studied, but the prognostic significance of SctO 2 in HF remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the role of SctO 2 as a risk factor for all-cause mortality and rehospitalisation, as well as to explore the cross-sectional association between physical ac
Abstract in Serbian:авне библиотеке све више се препознају не само као местаза приступ књигама и информацијама, већ и као битне друштвене ин-фраструктуре у којима је брига саставни део рада библиотекара. Ипак, начини на које библиотекари практикују бригу остају недовољно истра-жени и недефинисани. Стога овај рад, кроз теоријску призму друштвеног инфраструктурног деловања (друштвеног инфраструктури
Structural optimization aims to find the geometry of the best performing design in a predefined setting, using mathematical techniques. The motivation for this study can be categorized into three main benefits: efficient material usage, enhancing existing designs and enabling new technologies. All of these benefits are crucial for solving contemporary technological and environmental challenges. An
How can a live opera performance stimulate visitor involvement by displaying immersive features!? With the AI-based chamber opera The Prophecies, we took the opportunity to structure a visitor’s journey through a series of differentiated chambers inhabited by both human and machine agents. This model was primarily informed bydistinctions made about game immersion from cognitive science and game st
The visual conditions for computer work are complex and include several factors that need to be well controlled. These factors include the lighting system, the design of the computer and screen itself, the screens position and orientation within the room, the surface reflectances and colours of the room, and the visualability of the worker.
Lipids are known to play a crucial role both in the normal control of insulin release and in the deterioration of β-cell function, as observed in type 2 diabetes. Despite this established dual role of lipids, little is known about lipid storage and handling in β-cells. Here, we isolated lipid droplets from oleate-incubated INS-1 832/13 cells and characterized the lipid droplet proteome. In a total
Some 30 years ago it was suggested that catalytic reactions that showed a 'compensation' effect were activated through a vibrational resonance between that one vibrational mode of the reactant that led to reaction and a comparable vibration mode of the catalyst system that represented the energy input. The isokinetic effect can be calculated from this model, in some cases within less than 1 % from
Sorption filters based on granular activated carbon, bone meal and iron fines were tested for their efficiency of removing metals from landfill leachate. Removal of Al, As, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sr and Zn were studied in a laboratory scale setup. Activated carbon removed more than 90% of Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn and Ni. Ca, Pb, Sr and Zn were removed but less efficiently. Bone
A simple procedure is developed to probe in situ the association between lipid bilayers and colloidal particles. Here, a one-step method is applied to generate giant unilamellar 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) vesicles (GUVs) by application of an alternating electric field directly in the presence of thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgels. We demonstrate th
