Exploring the effect of automation failure on the human's trustworthiness in human-agent teamwork.

Collaboration in teams composed of both humans and automation has an interdependent nature, which demands calibrated trust among all the team members. For building suitable autonomous teammates, we need to study how trust and trustworthiness function in such teams. In particular, automation occasionally fails to do its job, which leads to a decrease in a human's trust.

The neonate with major malformations: experiences in a university children's hospital in the Netherlands.

Advancements in medical technology over the last decades have greatly benefited perioperative care of newborns undergoing major surgical interventions. Yet, a proportion of these babies will not survive, and doctors are forced to face the difficult ethical question of whether, in cases of severe congenital malformations or acquired diseases, the expected quality of life justifies the decision to continue, withhold, or withdraw treatment. In a tripartite approach, the authors present their relevant experiences with these newborns in the pediatric surgical department of the Sophia Children's Hospital (SCH).

Children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia are at risk for lower levels of cognitive functioning and increased emotional and behavioral problems.

The physical, psychological, and social functioning of 11 children aged 8 to 12 years with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) was assessed with several standardized assessment procedures. Physically, most children functioned well at follow-up with half of the children showing minor physical problems such as bronchial hyperreactivity. The mean IQ of the children was 15 points (1 SD) below the norm of 100.

Long-term physical, psychological, and social functioning of children with esophageal atresia.

Background/purpose: Little is known about the long-term psychosocial functioning of children with esophageal atresia (EA). The physical, psychological, and social functioning of children with EA was studied using standardized assessment procedures, and relations between medical and social background variables and outcome were investigated.

Methods: Subjects were 36 children (20 boys, 16 girls; mean age 10.

Potential uses for quality-of-life measures in childhood inflammatory bowel disease.

Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children with inflammatory bowel disease is clearly reduced in the physical as well as in the psychological and social functioning domains. However, very few studies of these children have been performed from a quality-of-life perspective. Multicenter studies on HRQOL are needed to answer questions about the impact of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and their treatment and complications on HRQOL in children and adolescents and their association with outcome.
