Interferon gamma rebalances immunopathological signatures in chronic granulomat...
Bruno, M.; Kröger, C.; Ferreira, A. V.; Zhang, B.; Röring, R. J.; Liu, R.; van der Made, C. I.; van Rhijn, N.; Groh, L.; Klück, V.; Janssen, N. A. F.Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by recurrent life-threatening infections and hyperinflammatory complications. It is caused by mutations in the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex and the consequent loss of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Recombinant human interferon gamma (rIFN-γ) prophylaxis reduces the risk of se...
High economic inequality is linked to greater moralization
Kirkland, K.; Van Lange, P. A. M.; Gorenz, D.; Blake, K.; Amiot, C. E.; Ausmees, L.; Baguma, P.; Barry, O.; Becker, M.; Bilewicz, M.; Boonyasiriwat, W.Throughout the 21st century, economic inequality is predicted to increase as we face new challenges, from changes in the technological landscape to the growing climate crisis. It is crucial we understand how these changes in inequality may affect how people think and behave. We propose that economic inequality threatens the social fabric of society, in turn increasing moralization—that is, the greater tendency ...
Moral expansiveness around the world: The role of societal factors across 36 co...
Kirkland, K.; Crimston, C. R.; Jetten, J.; Rudnev, M.; Acevedo-Triana, C.; Amiot, C. E.; Ausmees, L.; Baguma, P.; Barry, O.; Becker, M.; Bilewicz, M.What are the things that we think matter morally, and how do societal factors influence this? To date, research has explored several individual-level and historical factors that influence the size of our ‘moral circles.' There has, however, been less attention focused on which societal factors play a role. We present the first multi-national exploration of moral expansiveness—that is, the size of people’s moral...
Raising the value of research studies in psychological science by increasing th...
Kekecs, Z.; Pálfi, B.; Szaszi, B.; Szecsi, P.; Zrubka, M.; Kovacs, M.; Bakos, B.; Cousineau, D.; Tressoldi, P.; Schmidt, K.; Grassi, M.; Evans, T. R.The low reproducibility rate in social sciences has produced hesitation among researchers in accepting published findings at their face value. Despite the advent of initiatives to increase transparency in research reporting, the field is still lacking tools to verify the credibility of research reports. In the present paper, we describe methodologies that let researchers craft highly credible research and allow...
Multinational data show that conspiracy beliefs are associated with the percept...
Hornsey, M. J.; Pearson, S.; Kang, J.; Sassenberg, K.; Jetten, J.; Van Lange, P. A. M.; Medina, L. G.; Amiot, C. E.; Ausmees, L.; Baguma, P.; Barry, O.While a great deal is known about the individual difference factors associated with conspiracy beliefs, much less is known about the country-level factors that shape people's willingness to believe conspiracy theories. In the current article we discuss the possibility that willingness to believe conspiracy theories might be shaped by the perception (and reality) of poor economic performance at the national leve...
Dark energy survey year 3 results: Cosmology with peaks using an emulator approach
Zürcher, D.; Fluri, J.; Sgier, R.; Kacprzak, T.; Gatti, M.; Doux, C.; Whiteway, L.; Réfrégier, A.; Chang, C.; Jeffrey, N.; Jain, B.; Lemos, P.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T08:40:07Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-04-01; We constrain the matter density ωm and the amplitude of density fluctuations σ8 within the ΛCDM cosmological model with shear peak statistics and angular convergence power spectra using mass maps constructed from the first three years of data of the Dark Energy Survey (DES Y3). We use tomographic shear ...
Combined Measurement of the Higgs Boson Mass in pp Collisions at s =7 and 8 TeV...
Aad, G.; Abbott, B.; Abdallah, J.; Abdinov, O.; Aben, R.; Abolins, M.; Abouzeid, O. S.; Abramowicz, H.; Abreu, H.; Abreu, R.; Abulaiti, Y.Made available in DSpace on 2022-05-02T18:42:56Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-05-14; A measurement of the Higgs boson mass is presented based on the combined data samples of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN LHC in the H→γγ and H→ZZ→4 decay channels. The results are obtained from a simultaneous fit to the reconstructed invariant mass peaks in the two channels and for the two exp...

Perceiving societal pressure to be happy is linked to poor well-being, especial...
Dejonckheere, E.; Rhee, J. J.; Baguma, P. K.; Barry, O.; Becker, M.; Bilewicz, M.; Castelain, T.; Costantini, G.; Dimdins, G.; Espinosa, A.Happiness is a valuable experience, and societies want their citizens to be happy. Although this societal commitment seems laudable, overly emphasizing positivity (versus negativity) may create an unattainable emotion norm that ironically compromises individual well-being. In this multi-national study (40 countries; 7443 participants), we investigate how societal pressure to be happy and not sad predicts emotio...
Social mindfulness predicts concern for nature and immigrants across 36 nations
Kirkland, K.; Van Lange, P. A. M.; Van Doesum, N. J.; Acevedo-Triana, C.; Amiot, C. E.; Ausmees, L.; Baguma, P.; Barry, O.; Becker, M.; Bilewicz, M.People cooperate every day in ways that range from largescale contributions that mitigate climate change to simple actions such as leaving another individual with choice – known as social mindfulness. It is not yet clear whether and how these complex and more simple forms of cooperation relate. Prior work has found that countries with individuals who made more socially mindful choices were linked to a higher co...
