In Sickness and in Wealth:Psychological and Sexual Costs of Income Comparison in Marriage
As the percentage of wives outearning their husbands grows, the traditional social norm of the male breadwinner is challenged. The upward income comparison of the husband may cause psychological distress that affects partners’ mental and physical health in ways that affect decisions on marriage, divorce, and careers. This article studies this impact through sexual and mental health problems. Using wage and prescription medication data from Denmark, we implement a regression discontinuity design to show that men outearned by their wives are more likely to use erectile dysfunction medication than their male breadwinner counterparts, even when this inequality is small. Breadwinner wives suffer increased insomnia/anxiety medication usage, with similar effects for men. We find no effects for unmarried couples or for men who earned less than their fiancée prior to marriage. Our results suggest that social norms play important roles in dictating how individuals respond to upward social comparisons. </jats:p
Performance Factors and Sulfur Tolerance of Metal Supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cells with Nanostructured Ni:GDC Infiltrated Anodes
Computationally Efficient Labeling of Cancer Related Forum Posts by Non-Clinical Text Information Retrieval
An abundance of information about cancer exists online, but categorizing and
extracting useful information from it is difficult. Almost all research within
healthcare data processing is concerned with formal clinical data, but there is
valuable information in non-clinical data too. The present study combines
methods within distributed computing, text retrieval, clustering, and
classification into a coherent and computationally efficient system, that can
clarify cancer patient trajectories based on non-clinical and freely available
information. We produce a fully-functional prototype that can retrieve, cluster
and present information about cancer trajectories from non-clinical forum
posts. We evaluate three clustering algorithms (MR-DBSCAN, DBSCAN, and HDBSCAN)
and compare them in terms of Adjusted Rand Index and total run time as a
function of the number of posts retrieved and the neighborhood radius.
Clustering results show that neighborhood radius has the most significant
impact on clustering performance. For small values, the data set is split
accordingly, but high values produce a large number of possible partitions and
searching for the best partition is hereby time-consuming. With a proper
estimated radius, MR-DBSCAN can cluster 50000 forum posts in 46.1 seconds,
compared to DBSCAN (143.4) and HDBSCAN (282.3). We conduct an interview with
the Danish Cancer Society and present our software prototype. The organization
sees a potential in software that can democratize online information about
cancer and foresee that such systems will be required in the future
