In 2001, at the turn of the century, the view of the future of surgical pathology was not an optimistic one. Dennis Heffner (1 ), in a very lucid account of surgical pathology’s past, present, and future, pointed out that surgical pathology has never achieved fully recognized status, and that this suboptimal recognition is likely to decrease further. Failure by surgical pathologists to acknowle...

This paper develops and applies a model of in which doctors have two dimensions of skill: diagnostic skill and skill performing procedures. Higher procedural skill increase the use of intensive procedures across the board, while better diagnostic skill results in fewer intensive procedures for the low risk, but more for the high risk. Deriving empirical analogues to our theoretical measures for...

BACKGROUND Suicide is a major public health issue and has large impact on the lives of many people. Innovative technologies such as smartphones could create new possibilities for suicide prevention, such as helping to overcome the barriers and stigma on help seeking in case of suicidal ideation. Due to their omnipresence, smartphone apps can offer suicide prevention tools very fast, they are ea...

This paper explores one case study from PhD research into students’ writing in the context of the transition from school to university, particularly focusing on ‘discourses of writing and learning to write’ (Ivanič, 2004) evident across the two educational levels. The data are taken from a two-year engagement in the field, following students from their last year of A-levels to their first year ...

We study one dimensional sets (Hausdorff dimension) lying in a Hilbert space. The aim is to classify subsets of Hilbert spaces that are contained in a connected set of finite Hausdorff length. We do so by extending and improving results of Peter Jones and Kate Okikiolu for sets in Rd . Their results formed the basis of quantitative rectifiability in Rd . We prove a quantitative version of the f...

PURPOSE A wealth of mobile applications are designed to support users in their drug intake. When developing software for patients, it is important to understand the differences between individuals who have, who will or who might never adopt mobile interventions. This study analyzes demographic and health-related factors associated with real-life "longer usage" and the "usage-intensity per day" ...
