We investigated whether repeated consumption of a low-energy-dense (LED; 208 kJ/100 g) or high-energy-dense (HED; 645 kJ/100 g) soup modifies expectations relating to the satiating capacity of the food, and its subsequent intake. In study 1, participants consumed either a novel-flavoured LED (n 32; 21 (SD 1·6) years, BMI 21·4 (SD 1·6) kg/m(2)) or HED soup (n 32; 21 (SD 1·6) years, BMI 21·3 (SD ...

Introduction Acts of social good, like jury service and voting, lead to distributive societal benefits often come with protections ensure that everyone can participate. Clinical trial participation is an act yet it lacks or comes at great personal cost. Methods In this current study, we assessed the indirect costs associated cancer clinical among patients enrolled in therapeutic trials two Nati...

BACKGROUND To describe the surgical technique and refractive outcomes following clear lens extraction (CLE) in the Effectiveness, in Angle-closure Glaucoma, of Lens Extraction trial. METHODS Review of prospectively collected data from a multicentre, randomised controlled trial comparing CLE and laser peripheral iridotomy. Eligible participants were ≥50 years old and newly diagnosed with (1) p...

The purpose of this study is to understand the unique contributions trait empathy and cognitive distortion relational aggression in 393 20- 49- year old adults (183 females 208 males, M = 35.22 years, SD 8.35 years). This examined how empathic concern perspective taking affect through three types distortions: self-centered bias, blaming others, perceived persecution. As predicted by theoretical...

Changes in global average temperatures and of the seasonal cycle are strongly coupled to the concentration of atmospheric CO2. I estimate transfer functions from changes in atmospheric CO2 and from changes in solar irradiance to hemispheric temperatures that have been corrected for the effects of precession. They show that changes from CO2 over the last century are about three times larger than...

This formalisation contains the proof that there is no anonymous and neutral Social Decision Scheme for at least four voters and alternatives that fulfils both SD-Efficiency and SD-Strategy-Proofness. The proof is a fully structured and quasi-human-redable one. It was derived from the (unstructured) SMT proof of the case for exactly four voters and alternatives by Brandl et al. [1]. Their proof...
