Purpose: This study aims to examine that personality traits are associated with the investor’s ability to exhibit disposition effect, herding behavior and overconfidence. It also explores how risk-attitude can modify investor behavior by moderating the association between personality traits, disposition effect, herding and overconfidence. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected from 396 r

Simultaneous digital breast tomosynthesis and mechanical imaging (DBTMI), a novel screening approach, combines anatomic DBT with functional analysis of the stress distribution on the compressed breast by mechanical imaging (MI). Preliminary studies suggest potential to reduce false positive findings. DBTMI requires to align DBT and MI images. In this study, we have analyzed robustness to alignment

In this study, we assess the impact of an image restoration pipeline, designed for digital mammography, on the detectability of microcalcifications of different sizes across varied radiation exposures. The restoration pipeline first removes the noise of the image considering a Poisson-Gaussian noise model that incorporates quantum and electronic noise. Then, it appropriately merges the noisy and d

Purpose: Value-added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) is extensively used as a measure of intellectual capital (IC), but it is criticized for not capturing the totality of IC. Therefore, this study aims to analyse critiques of the original VAIC and proposes a modified VAIC by adding missing IC components and adjusting for exogenous factors. The study uses a modified VAIC model to investigate the re

Objectives: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery techniques are increasingly used but have longer cardiopulmonary bypass time, which may increase inflammatory response and negatively affect coagulation. Our aim was to compare biomarkers of inflammation and coagulation as well as transfusion rates after minimally invasive mitral valve repair and mitral valve surgery using conventional sternotomy. Des

WE describe here the development of a new analytical configuration, called a microbe thermistor, in which immobilised microorganisms are placed in proximity to a thermistor which measures the metabolic heat evolved by them. Many metabolites can thus be analysed, as we show here by the determination of both single components such as glucose and fructose and of more complex mixtures such as casein.

THE marked increase in demand for contraceptives and anti-inflammatory agents such as cortisol and prednisolone, combined with a diminishing supply of steroid raw materials may lead to shortages of steroid drugs1. Thus it is important to develop new sources for steroids as well as to devise more efficient means for steroid conversions. Here we report a new approach to steroid transformation in whi

Phosphorylation of 6‐chloropurine riboside with phosphorus oxychloride and phosphorus trichloride gave a mixture of the two isomers, 6‐chloropurine‐riboside 2′,5′‐bisphosphate and 6‐chloropurine‐riboside 3′,5′‐bisphosphate. Reaction with 1,6‐diaminohexane followed by resolution of the isomeric mixture on a Dowex 1‐X2 column yielded N6‐(6‐aminohexyl)‐adenosine 2′,5′‐bisphosphate and N6‐(6‐amin

The Public Storyteller is an artwork produced in 16mm film and video. It brings back to Morocco the epic of Djellali Kamal - an anonymous North African undocumented worker in France - and his candidacy to 1974 French presidential election. The work stages a halqa, a centuries-old practice of public storytelling in Morocco, to people arranged in a circle. In this halqa, Djellali’s campaign is narra

To remain competitive, organizations need an engaged workforce. Although ample research has been carried out on the antecedents of employee work engagement, a comprehensive understanding of how and when voice climate is associated with employee work engagement is currently lacking. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study examines the pathway by which voice climate affects emplo

A blog post discussing my research on the future visions of AI in health in the Nordics.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to develop classification criteria for overall hand osteoarthritis (OA), interphalangeal OA and thumb base OA based on self-reported data and radiographic features. Methods: The classification criteria sets were developed in three phases. In phase 1, we identified criteria that discriminated hand OA from controls. In phase 2, we used a consensus-based dec

This thesis examines the patterns and characteristics of the reasoning behind the military support provided to Ukraine by its Western partners within the European Union (Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands) following the Russian full-scale invasion in February 2022. The thesis investigates the characteristics of the official rhetoric of military aid supplies to Ukraine by examining the government

Abstract Trying to preserve the forest is an important issue considering its tremendous impact on the ecosystem and subsequently on humans and their lives. On the other hand, humans have changed the area of the forest in different ways. Therefore, investigating the human impact and helping to prevent the destruction of the forest plays a vital role in preserving biodiversity and maintaining ecosys

This chapter foregrounds the fictional and factual relations that inform contemporary human-animal entanglements in manga and anime through the series One Piece. The epic journey of the ‘Straw Hat Crew’ in search for freedom and empowerment is characterised by its multispecies cast, subversive themes, and social commentary. However, by examining its depictions of gender and multispecies relations

Time to AIDS infection is longer with HIV-2, compared to HIV-1, but without antiretroviral therapy both infections will cause AIDS-related mortality. In HIV-2 infection, monitoring of antiretroviral treatment (ART) efficacy is challenging since a large proportion of HIV-2-infected individuals displays low or undetectable plasma RNA levels. Hence, quantification of cellular DNA load may constitute

This article explores the relationship between statelessness and refugeeness over time and space. It does so by drawing on how Palestinian refugees from Syria in Sweden navigate the various stateless and refugee labels imposed upon them before, during and after their flight from Syria to Sweden. Standpoint theory was deployed as the basis for understanding how this group of stateless refugees rela
