Cultural Interpretations of Global Information? Hindsight Bias after Reading Wikipedia Articles across Cultures
2017
Summary: Hindsight bias is the mistaken belief that an outcome could have been foreseen once it is known. But what happens after learning about an event? Can reading biased media amplify hindsight distortions? And do people from different cultural backgrounds — with different cognitive thinking styles — draw equal conclusions from equal media reports? We report two studies with Wikipedia articles and samples from different cultures (Study 1: Germany, Singapore, USA, Vietnam, Japan, Sweden, N = 446; Study 2: USA, Vietnam, N = 144). Participants read one of two article versions (foresight and hindsight) about the Fukushima Nuclear Plant and estimated the likelihood, inevitability, and foresee…
Debiasing media articles–reducing hindsight bias in the production of written work.
2021
Written work such as Wikipedia articles can contain hindsight bias. Since reading biased texts can, in turn, increase recipients’ individual hindsight bias, it is an important agenda to examine effective debiasing strategies. In the present study (N = 164), we tested whether providing authors with debiasing strategies can effectively reduce hindsight bias in their content. Specifically, participants wrote an article based on several newspaper articles about a dam and we manipulated whether they received event knowledge (i.e., dam collapse) and a debiasing intervention. Ten blind coders rated the extent to which the produced articles were suggestive of the disaster. Debiasing was successful …
What drives increases in hindsight impressions after the reception of biased media content?
2021
Prior research has shown that reading biased media content (e.g., Wikipedia articles) can increase recipients' hindsight bias. It remained unclear, however, which features of the biased texts led to such an increase. We examined this question in a longitudinal experimental study (N = 190). Specifically, we tested whether repeated exposure to already known information (H₁), a more coherent presentation of the information (H₂), or the presentation of novel information (H₃) affected readers' hindsight impressions of likelihood, inevitability, and foreseeability. To this end, participants initially learned about an event by reading several short news, and, 1 week later, received one of several …
Conclusions. Slowing aging and fighting age-related diseases, from bench to bedside?
2021

To this end, potential strategies capable of slowing aging and preventing age-related diseases are considered and actions proposed.
The Role of Erythropoietin in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage: From Bench to Bedside
2014
Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) caused by a ruptured aneurysm accounts for only 5 % of strokes, but occurs at a fairly young age and carries a poor prognosis. Delayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI) is an important cause of death and dependence after aneurysmal SAH. The current mainstay of preventing DCI is nimodipine and maintenance of normovolemia, but even with this strategy DCI occurs in a considerable proportion of patients.
Brev fra Norge : Hvordan opplever høyutdannete arbeidsinnvandrere nordmenn, og især når de forsøker å skape vennskap utenom jobb med dem
2017
Masteroppgave velferdsstudier ME509 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Formålet med denne oppgaven er å få en forståelse for de som kommer til Norge, samtidig å tilby norske lesere å se hvordan «de andre» ser dem som vert og hvordan det er å velge å være gjest på et sted som de har valgt å kalle «et hjem». Fokuset er å belyse både hvordan de opplever og hvordan de håndterer ulike situasjoner de kommer opp i. Hvor lett eller vanskelig er å tilpasse seg til nye rammer og nytt liv her? I oppgaven har jeg valgt å anvende teoriene til Erving Goffman og Berger & Luckmann for å få frem ulike momenter fra kommunikasjonen i møter mellom nordmenn og denne gruppen slik sistnevnte gruppe ser det. Dette vil o…
Stymulacja pęczka Hisa u osoby starszej z proksymalnym blokiem przedsionkowo-komorowym po zawale mięśnia sercowego
2018
Stymulacja pęczka Hisa (HBP) umożliwia synchronizację przedsionkowo-komorową i międzykomorową. W opisanym przypadku zwrócono uwagę na związek między poziomem bloku, synchronią komorową oraz funkcją rozkurczową u chorego z umiarkowaną dysfunkcją skurczową lewej komory świeżo po zawale serca. HBP jest korzystna w leczeniu zaburzeń przewodzenia i zapobieganiu dalszym zaburzeniom funkcji skurczowej i rozkurczowej. W artykule przedstawiono przypadek 92-letniego mężczyzny w bardzo dobrym stanie psychofizycznym z napadowym blokiem przedsionkowo-komorowym II stopnia i utrwalonym długim odstępem PR w przebiegu zawału mięśnia sercowego bez uniesienia odcinka ST-T, leczonego angioplastyką gałęzi okala…
Indricas apbūve 15.-18.gadsimtā: pāreja no nocietinātas muižas uz mūra rezidenci
2020
Maģistra darba mērķis ir raksturot pārejas procesus Indricā no 15.–16.gs. vasaļa nocietinātās muižas uz 16.–18.gs. Plāteru dzimtai piederošu mūra rezidenci. Pētījuma ietvaros tiek analizēti divi hronoloģiski atšķirīgi nocietinātās muižas un rezidences būvperiodi Dorotpoles ezera R krastā. Tēma ir aktuāla, jo izvērsta Indricas būvkompleksa izpēte sniegs salīdzinošo materiālu par pārejas posma analoģijām un savstarpējām līdzībām daudz plašākā reģionā. Pēdējo gadu laikā ir veikti plaši pētījumi Ziemeļeiropas muižu būvvēstures izpētē. Indricas nocietinātā muiža ir būvēta pēc t.s. “franku stila” būvtipa parauga, savukārt Plāteru dzimtas īpašumā esošā rezidence bijusi mūra celtne. Plāteru reziden…
Antīkās reminiscences latīņu okazionālajā dzejā Rīgā
2019
Līdz ar protestantu reformāciju 16. gadsimta pirmajā pusē arī Livonijā sāka ienākt Eiropas humānisma strāvojumi, kas mijiedarbībā ar vēsturiskiem un reliģiskiem notikumiem aktivizēja intelektuālo dzīvi un radīja labvēlīgu vidi literatūras attīstībai: dzejnieki humānisti Rīgā sāka sacerēt dzejas darbus latīņu valodā, kuru vidū ievērojama vieta ir 17. gadsimtā radītajai okazionālajai dzejai. Rakstā „Antīkās reminiscences latīņu okazionālajā dzejā Rīgā” aplūkota 17. gadsimtā Rīgā sacerētā kāzu (epithalamium, hymenaeus, carmen nuptialis, u. c.) un piemiņas dzeja (epicedium, epitaphium, carmen funebris, carmen lugubris) pievēršot uzmanību tajā ietverto antīko sižetu un tēlu poētikai. Rakstā īsi …
