Cognition, Volume 212, 27 4 2021, Pages 104666 Autonomous vehicles: How perspective-taking accessibility alters moral judgments and consumer purchasing behavior. Martin R, Kusev P, van Schaik P
In preparation for unavoidable collisions, autonomous vehicle (AV) manufacturers could program their cars with utilitarian ethical algorithms that maximize the number of lives saved during a crash. However, recent research employing hypothetical AV crash scenarios reveals that people are not willing to purchase a utilitarian AV despite judging them to be morally appropriate (Bonnefon, Shariff, & Rahwan, 2016). This important result, indicating evidence for a social dilemma, has not yet been... Abstract

Frontiers in veterinary science, Volume 8, 26 4 2021, Pages 656336 Key Learnings During the Development of a Generic Data Collection Tool to Support Assessment of Freedom of Infection in Cattle Herds. van Roon AM, Rapaliute E, Koleci X, Muñoz V, Mercat M, Faverjon C, Santman-Berends IMGA, Nielen M, More SJ, Graham D, Guelbenzu-Gonzalo M, Madouasse A, Fourichon C, van Schaik G
Various European Member States have implemented control or eradication programmes for endemic infectious diseases in cattle. The design of these programmes varies between countries and therefore comparison of the outputs of different control programmes is complex. Although output-based methods to estimate the confidence of freedom resulting from these programmes are under development, as yet there is no practical modeling framework applicable to a variety of infectious diseases. Therefore, a dat... Abstract

Claassens DMF, Gimbel ME, Bergmeijer TO, Vos GJA, Hermanides RS, van der Harst P, Barbato E, Morisco C, Tjon Joe Gin RM, de Vrey EA, Heestermans TACM, Jukema JW, von Birgelen C, Waalewijn RA, Hofma SH, den Hartog FR, Voskuil M, Van't Hof AWJ, Asselbergs FW, Mosterd A, Herrman JR, Dewilde W, Mahmoodi BK, Deneer VHM, Ten Berg JM
Background: Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who are carrying CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles derive less benefit from clopidogrel treatment. Despite this, in elderly patients, clopidogrel might be preferred over more potent P2Y12 inhibitors due to a lower bleeding risk. Whether CYP2C19 genotype-guided antiplatelet treatment in the elderly could be of benefit has not been studied specifically. Methods: Patients aged 70 years and older with known CYP2C19*2 and *3 genotype were identif... Abstract
