To prospectively assess the diagnostic performance of simple ultrasound rules to predict benignity/malignancy in an adnexal mass and test risk malignancy index, two logistic regression models, subjective assessment ultrasonic findings by experienced examiner masses for which yield inconclusive result.Prospective temporal external validation distinguish benign from malignant masses. The comprised five features (including shape, size, solidity, results colour Doppler examination) a tumour (M...
Abstract Despite equal rights, minority groups such as ethnic minorities, LGBTQ + people, and people with mental or physical disabilities face discrimination on a day‐to‐day basis in subtle hard‐to‐recognize forms. As slips beneath the surface, it becomes difficult to fight stigma using collective social identity coping mechanisms. Instead, individual mobility responses distancing self from stigmatized (“self‐group distancing”) become more viable way improve one's standing. In this overview...
To determine the diagnostic performance of ultrasound-based simple rules, risk malignancy index (RMI), two logistic regression models (LR1 and LR2) real-time subjective assessment by experienced ultrasound examiners following exclusion masses likely to be judged as easy 'instant' diagnose an examiner, develop a new strategy for adnexal pathology based on this.3511 patients with at least one persistent mass preoperatively underwent transvaginal ultrasonography assess tumor morphology...
The current paper examines antecedents and consequences of perceiving conflict between gender work identities in male-dominated professions. In a study among 657 employees working 85 teams the police force, we investigated effect being different from team members terms on employees' perception that their see identity as conflicting with identity. As expected force field, results showed gender-dissimilarity was related to perceived gender-work for women, not men. turn, lower identification...
The current study investigates how descriptive and prescriptive gender norms that communicate work family identities to be (in)compatible with limit or enhance young men women's career aspirations. Results show adults (N = 445) perceived assign greater compatibility between female male than vice versa, women mirror their aspirations this traditional division of tasks. Spill-over effects across life domains cross-over gender-groups indicated women, more men, aimed 'have it all': mirroring...
First-generation students show lower academic performance at university compared to continuing-generation students. Previous research established the value in taking a social identity perspective on this social-class achievement gap, and showed that gap can partly be explained by compatibility between background identities first- experience. The present paper aimed increase insight into processes through which low leads examining first-year students’ adjustment two key domains: domain. These...
We examine the degree to which women in a male-dominated field cope with daily experiences of social identity threat by distancing themselves from other women. A experience-sampling study among female soldiers ( N = 345 data points nested 61 participants) showed self-group distance more on days they experienced threat. This was mediated concerns about belonging but not achievement military, supporting explanation that as way fit masculine domain. However, basis, did appear protect women’s...
Diversity in engineering, and STEM general, is essential to address societal challenges, yet women individuals from ethnic minority backgrounds remain underrepresented. Belonging has shown promise for recruiting retaining these groups, prompting further exploration. This review investigates the impact of (anticipated) belonging on pursuit persistence engineering education among underrepresented groups. Through a systematic literature review, 480 articles Scopus database were screened, with...
ABSTRACT A clear and stable notion of one's abilities in a field is an important predictor interest motivation. The present study examines whether the development this ability self‐concept undermined for people facing negative stereotyping because exposure to daily evaluation threats. As such, novel explanation leaky pipeline phenomenon that members negatively stereotyped groups disproportionally opt out fields. diary among 205 female psychology students ( N = 1390 data points) showed...
Collective action is a powerful force driving social change but often sparks contention about what actions are acceptable means to effect change. We investigated double standards in judging collective action—that is, whether observers judge the same protest be more depending on who protesters and they protesting. In two studies, we used item response theory develop an instrument of 25 controversial measure where people draw line between unacceptable forms action. three preregistered...
Hyperreactio luteinalis is a rare condition in pregnancy that caused by high β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels or abnormal sensitivity of the β-hCG receptor. It mostly seen patients with trophoblastic disease, multiple after fertility treatment. We describe our imaging findings and management case hyperreactio diagnosed singleton spontaneously conceived pregnancy. A 28-year-old primigravida was referred to gynecological ultrasound department University Hospitals, Leuven, for...

Although higher education has become more accessible to people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, the transition university is difficult for first- compared continuing-generation students. Previous research showed that social identity processes are key understand differences between and students’ experiences at university.
