Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Together with Canada and Australia, Europe is worldwide the safest area where (fatal) road traffic injuries are concerned. However, the number of adolescents involved in traffic accidents with fatal outcome (1 in 3,700 injury deaths in 15–24 yr. adolescents each year) remains a matter of high concern. Needless to say governments try to reduce mortality using all kinds of preventive measures. The question then arises why so many of these preventive activities targeting adolescents seem to have no effect at all. One of the most important reasons for that is that many of these activities pay no heed to the fact that in adolescence, the brain is undergoing massive transformations that greatly influence the way adolescents deal with information concerning their (health) behaviour. One textbook example of a wrong way to try to influence adolescents is to show them the horrific consequences of traffic accidents - pools of blood, severed limbs, disfigured faces and the like. Instead of being frightened into safe driving, adolescents tend to conclude that these victims, although pitiable, are just losers - they themselves would know how to avoid such situations, of course. There are many examples of this kind of rather predictable effects, but as designers of preventive activities are mostly adults and do not take into account the effects of brain development in adolescents, preventive activities will in many cases continue to be useless or even detrimental. In this presentation, the development of the brain in adolescents and its effect on (healthy) behaviour will be discussed.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
