- We studied the associations between personality traits and the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) or stroke in women with diabetes.From the Women's Health Initiative, 15,029 women aged 50 to 79 years at enrollment and with self-reported treated diabetes at baseline or follow-up, were followed for a mean of 10 years. Personality traits measured from validated scales included hostility, optimism, ambivalence over emotional expressiveness, and negative emotional expressiveness. Multivariable Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to examine associations between personality traits and the risk of adjudicated CHD (nonfatal myocardial infarction and CHD death) or stroke outcomes. Progressively adjusted regression approach was used in the multivariable models to adjust for demographics, depression, anthropometric variables, and lifestyle factors.A total of 1,118 incident CHD and 710 incident stroke cases were observed. Women in the highest quartile of hostility had 22% (hazard ratio [HR] 1.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.48) increased risk for CHD compared with women in the lowest quartile of hostility. P values for trend were greater than 0.05. Stratified analysis by prevalent or incident diabetes showed that the highest quartile of hostility had 34% increased risk for CHD (HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.03-1.74) among women with incident diabetes. Other personality traits were not significantly associated with stroke or CHD.Hostility was associated with incidence of CHD among postmenopausal women with diabetes, especially among incident diabetes. These results provide a basis for targeted prevention programs for women with a high level of hostility and diabetes.

Assessment of preprocessing techniques in a model-based automatic target recognition algorithm for the SAMPLE dataset

- This article investigates basic preprocessing techniques to improve classification accuracy in the context of Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) of non-cooperative targets in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. Preprocessing techniques are considered in synthetic data providing different inputs to a model-based classification algorithm. Experiments with preprocessing techniques such as area reduction, morphological transformations, and speckle filtering were run using ten target classes of the SAMPLE dataset. The classification is performed in measure data using scattering centers as features. The results reveal that the original image without any preprocessing techniques reached the best classification performance. However, investigations with other classifiers that use different features may benefit from such preprocessing techniques. © 2022 SPIE.

Housing and children - simultaneous decisions? : a cohort study of young adults' housing and family formation decision

- This study contributes to earlier research on homeownership and childbearing by taking into account the potential simultaneity between these two life events. A dataset comprising three different Swedish birth cohorts suggests that these are events that are indeed simultaneous. Different tests indicate that taking this simultaneity into account gives an overall statistically significant improvement of the model fit. However, this result is most obvious for those young adults who faced increasing problems on the housing market. The childbearing decision of these cohorts also seems to be more sensitive to changes in the user cost.

Individuella inkomstgränser i bostadsbidragssystemet ledde till ökade förvärvsinkomster

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Individuella inkomstgränser i bostadsbidragssystemet infördes den 1 januari 1997. Motivet till regelförändringen var bl.a. att stärka arbetslinje genom att minska den privatekonomiska förlust i form av kraftigt reducerat bostadsbidrag som kan uppkomma om en förälder vill övergå från hemarbete till förvärvsarbete. Huvudsyftet med den här studien är att undersöka om regelförändringen har haft någon effekt på arbetsutbudet. Författaren drar slutsatsen att individuella inkomstgränser verkar vara ett effektivt sätt att stärka arbetslinjen och öka förvärvsinkomsten.Studien i sin helhet finns att beställa som rapport från Inspektionen för socialförsärkingen (ISF 2012:6).
