Guy-Guessing Democracy : Gender and Item Non-Response Bias in Evaluations of Democratic Institutions

Research on democratic attitudes has recently turned to examine citizens’ views about the performance of specific democratic institutions in their country. Drawing on data from the European Social Survey (ESS6) and the Bright Line Watch Project (BLW) in the United States, this article argues that such evaluative questions carry high levels of cognitive complexity that lead to gender gaps in item r

Carbon starvation, senescence and specific mitochondrial stresses, but not nitrogen starvation and general stresses, are major triggers for mitophagy in Arabidopsis

Selective degradation of mitochondria by autophagy (mitophagy) is thought to play an important role in mitochondrial quality control, but our understanding of which conditions induce mitophagy in plants is limited. Here, we developed novel reporter lines to monitor mitophagy in plants and surveyed the rate of mitophagy under a wide range of stresses and developmental conditions. Especially carbon

Enhanced Motor Imagery-Based Eeg Classification Using A Discriminative Graph Fourier Subspace

Dealing with irregular domains, graph signal processing (GSP) has attracted much attention especially in brain imaging analysis. Motor imagery tasks are extensively utilized in brain-computer interface (BCI) systems that perform classification using features extracted from Electroencephalogram signals. In this paper, a GSP-based approach is presented for two-class motor imagery tasks classificatio

Bjarne K. H. Semb : The contriver of the first implantation of a total artificial heart in Europe

In 1985, the surgical team led by Bjarne Semb implanted the first total artificial heart (TAH) in Europe, and the following year the first successful bridge to transplant in Europe using the Symbion J-7/100 TAH. Together with the clinical experiences of colleagues in the United States, these early cases preceded the subsequent development of scores of mechanical assist devices to treat advanced he

EEG monitoring after cardiac arrest

Hypoxic–ischaemic brain injury (HIBI) is the main causeof death and disability in patients who are comatose afterreturn of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) from cardiacarrest [1]. Te electroencephalogram (EEG) is a usefultool to assess the severity of HIBI and provide prognostic information. In addition, EEG can be used to diagnoseepileptiform activity in patients with suspected seizuresand monitor

Deprescribing in Palliative Cancer Care

The aim of palliative care is to maintain as high a quality of life (QoL) as possible despite a life-threatening illness. Thus, the prescribed medications need to be evaluated and the benefit of each treatment must be weighed against potential side effects. Medications that contribute to symptom relief and maintained QoL should be prioritized. However, studies have shown that treatment with preven
