Factors influencing role preferences in decision-making of healthy women with BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants: subanalysis from a randomised controlled decision coaching trial by Sibylle Kautz-Freimuth, Arim Shukri, Claudia Stracke, Anna Isselhard, Birte Berger-Höger, Anke Steckelberg, Frank Vitinius, Nicola Dikow, Marion Kiechle, Cornelia Meisel, Achim Wöckel, Marion Tina von Mackelenbergh, Rita Schmutzler, Kerstin Rhiem, Stephanie Stock

“…At T1, high decisional conflict (OR 1.016, 95% CI 1.001–1.023, p = 0.038) and a negative self-concept (OR 1.030, 95% CI 1.008–1.054, p = 0.009) were significant predictors for preferring a more passive role. At T2, high baseline decisional conflict significantly predicted taking a more passive role in the CG, whereas in the IG, baseline decisional conflict showed no influence. …”

Adaptive Sliding Mode Control of Mobile Manipulators with Markovian Switching Joints by Liang Ding, Haibo Gao, Kerui Xia, Zhen Liu, Jianguo Tao, Yiqun Liu

“…The hybrid joints of manipulators can be switched to either active (actuated) or passive (underactuated) mode as needed. Consider the property of hybrid joints, the system switches stochastically between active and passive systems, and the dynamics of the jump system cannot stay on each trajectory errors region of subsystems forever; therefore, it is difficult to determine whether the closed-loop system is stochastically stable. …”
