We investigate how the anchoring effect—a well-established cognitive bias—influences the full distribution of subjective beliefs. While prior research extensively examines the impact of anchoring and other biases on point estimates, their effect on higher moments of the distribution remains unexplored. Through a pre-registered online experiment (N=732), we find that anchoring impacts the mean, var
Background: Efficacy of tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) for peripheral arthritis in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) has been established in randomized clinical trials that have used improvement in summated joint counts as an outcome. Whether joints at different anatomical locations might respond differentially to TNFi remains unknown. The aim of the study was to investigate potent
This study investigates how reduced visibility due to wildfire smoke affects driving behaviour, specifically speed and headway, and the resulting implications for evacuation management and planning. Data were collected from participants immersed in a virtual environment through a driving simulator with a head-mounted display. Thirty-seven participants drove through scenarios simulating a rural hig
The visual complexity of a habitat can play a significant role in the outcome of interactions between predators and prey. We currently assume that predators should maximize their foraging success by foraging in habitats where prey are easier to detect and search times are lower. Mesopredators, however, have to detect prey (as a predator) while also avoiding detection by their own predators (as pre
The chaperone DNAJB6b (JB6) plays important roles in increasing amyloid protein solubility and inhibiting amyloid fibril formation, a causative factor for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Insights into the biophysical properties of JB6, including its structure, self-assembly and stability towards denaturation, may enhance the understanding of the physicochemical
Suppose an act of caring can be at once good, even admirable, and still help sustain a system that harms people and our shared world. In this paper, I reflect on interviews with street-level bureaucrats working with civil society to maintain and repair collective capacities for problem-solving and collective reflection in segregated Swedish cities. I want to explore how seeing their work as a form
Background: While energy communities working on electricity provision have been extensively studied, thermal energy communities (TECs) focusing on bringing district heating (DH) systems to decarbonise heat systems in buildings have been relatively under-researched. This study addresses this gap by presenting the first comprehensive examination of key factors influencing the emergence and developme
Whether monetary incentives to change behavior work and how they should be structured are fundamental economic questions. We overcome typical data limitations in a large-scale field experiment on vaccination (N = 5,324) with a unique combination of administrative and survey data. We find that guaranteed incentives of $20 increase uptake by 13 percentage points in the short run and 9 in the long ru
Local climate adaptation is constrained and steered along specific paths by various mechanisms, which together form a lock-in. The study focuses on Swedish local civil servants’ strategies to deal with climate adaption lock-ins and to what extent the strategies disrupt the lock-ins. Interviews were conducted with civil servants in six municipalities, complemented by inter-views at regional and nat
The FFT processor is one of the key components in the implementation of wideband OFDM systems. Architectures with a structured pipeline have been used to meet the fast, real-time processing demand and low-power consumption requirement in a mobile environment. Architectures based on new forms of FFT, the radix-2i algorithm derived by cascade decomposition, is proposed. By exploiting the spatial reg
Ultra-low power (ULP) biomedical implants and sensor nodes typically require small memories of a few kb, while previous work on reliable subthreshold (sub-VT) memories targets several hundreds of kb. Standard-cell based memories (SCMs) are a straightforward approach to realize robust sub- VT storage arrays and fill the gap of missing sub-VT memory compilers. This paper presents an ultra-low-leakag
Drawing on a game‐theoretical background, this article seeks to develop an analytical framework for explaining the problems an international lawmaker is faced with when crafting norms on the sharing of protective burdens in the asylum field, and to apply this framework to selected problems of burden‐sharing in EU asylum and migration policies. It focuses on the category of risk and casts burden‐sh
