    This thesis aims to investigate possible gender and ethnic biases in state-of-the-art deep learning methods in first impression analysis. Analysing a person with some software, businesses want to find the best candidate, without the person being judged by their gender or ethnicity. To achieve this, a first impression dataset about the big five personality traits, with additional information about the person’s gender and ethnic background, was used. Biases were both investigated with models trained on balanced and imbalanced data, where balanced here refers to the number of frames used from people classified as Asian, African-American, or Caucasian in the dataset. The results with both the balanced and imbalanced datasets were similar. With all the models the accuracy for Asians was much higher compared to others, which may come from the fact that the dataset did not include enough variance in the Asian data, so when evaluating, all Asians were seen similarly

    Neonatal screening: identification of children with 11β-hydroxylase deficiency by second-tier testing

    Get PDF
    21-Hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) is the target disease of newborn screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). We describe the additional detection of patients suffering from 11β-hydroxylase deficiency (11-OHD) by second-tier testing.Over a period of 5 years, screening for CAH was done in a total of 986,098 newborns by time-resolved immunoassay (DELFIA®) for 17α-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP). Positive samples were subsequently analyzed in an LC-MS/MS second-tier test including 17-OHP, cortisol, 11-deoxycortisol, 4-androstenedione and 21-deoxycortisol.In addition to 78 cases of 21-OHD, 5 patients with 11-OHD were identified. Diagnostic parameters were a markedly elevated concentration of 11-deoxycortisol in the presence of a low level of cortisol. Androstenedione was also increased. In contrast to 21-OHD, concentrations of 21-deoxycortisol were normal.Steroid profiling in newborn blood samples showing positive results in immunoassays for 17-OHP allows for differentiating 21-OHD from 11-OHD. This procedure may not detect all cases of 11-OHD in the newborn population because there may be samples of affected newborns with negative results for 17-OHP in the immunoassay
