An experiment was conducted to investigate the extent to which training in Bayesian thinking helps lawyers to recognize probabilistic fallacies in reasoning about legal evidence. The study showed that a limited amount of training (5 h) led to a significant improvement. However, some probabilistic fallacies emerged as more deceptive than others. The inversion fallacies (true-positive inversion and

I Sverige spelar förhandlingar mellan arbetsgivare och fackliga organisationer en avgörande roll för löner och andra anställningsvillkor. Anders Kjellberg visar i sitt kapitel att den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen kännetecknas av partsreglering (kollektivavtal) snarare än statsreglering (lagstiftning). Trepartsöverenskommelser förekommer också. Huvudavtalet 2022 mellan arbetsmarknadens parter ing

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) are highly age-related pathologies isualized by neuroimaging. CSVD can be silent lesions but are associated with cognitive decline, dementia, gait disorders, depression and stroke. A growing body of evidence links CSVD to systemic vascular processes, but the pathophysiology is not fully explained. The aim of this thesis is to investigate possible links between

In this study of human carotid endarterectomy plaques (using 1128 regions of interest in a total of 10 plaques), we found that photon counting computed tomography (PCCT) can differentiate between attenuation and the spectral patterns of calcium, intra-plaque haemorrhage, thrombus, fibrosis, necrosis and lipid core. This is the first study to show the potential of PCCT in living patients using clin

This is a contribution written for aspiring teachers of religionskundskap. It depicts what it means to grow up as a Buddhist, including reflections on childhood in Buddhist early sources and the childhood of the historical Buddha. It starts out with looking at children growing up among Buddhists and includes, in the end, South Asian Buddhist child monks as well as American and European perspective

Active learning is increasingly implemented in higher education, yet students' perspectives on this pedagogical approach remain diverse. This study explores geoscience students' views on active learning within a course at the University of Bergen (UiB) and in relation to their broader study program. Through longitudinal qualitative interviews with two student cohorts, we identified seven main cate

Ethnographic methods can advance our knowledge of a setting through its documents as well as help the researcher to grasp a document in its setting. This chapter contests the idea that the study of documents only refers to close analyses of text. Taking pictures of documents, asking about documents, and observing what people do with documents are approaches that can answer sociologically significa

The thermal performance curve (TPC) of an organism captures how population growth depends on temperature. When populations experience increased temperatures, such as during global climate change, one prediction is that their TPC can evolve to accommodate the new environmental temperature. Although studies on TPC evolution have mostly focused on modifications in population growth rates, TPC evoluti

This paper introduces a three-dimensional approach for analysing brokerage in social networks that has the potential to open new areas of research in Science and Technology Studies (STS). Brokerage is a fundamental concept in social network analysis, where it refers to situations in which actors bridge otherwise disconnected actors. Such brokerage can have both individual consequences and conseque

This chapter is about social work and prostitution, understood as a relation in which sexual acts are exchanged for money or other material or immaterial resources. The aim is to understand different approaches in social work by linking up to a policy-process perspective. As any social phenomenon, prostitution can be framed differently as a policy problem. The chapter is structured around three di

The purpose of current study is to produce groundwater qanat potential map using frequency ratio (FR) and Shannon's entropy (SE) models in the Moghan watershed, Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran. The qanat is basically a horizontal, interconnected series of underground tunnels that accumulate and deliver groundwater from a mountainous source district, along a water- bearing formation (aquifer), and t

This paper challenges dominant paradigms of place marketing by foregrounding its role in the production of spatial injustice in urban consumption spectacles. Drawing on rhythmanalysis and spatial injustice, we conceptualize tourism-driven place marketing as a form of spatial production privileging spectacle, circulation, and visibility – often at the expense of everyday life. Based on ethnographic
