However, previous research on name bias is fragmented and informed by disjointed theories. Here, we investigate the underlying structure of name biases to provide a unifying theory of the social perception of names. Across two samples collected in separate European countries (UK and Germany; N = 1083 and 972 respectively), male and female names were rated on multiple social traits,...

AI coding agents are black boxes: we cannot inspect how they generate code, but we can inspect what they change. This distinction matters for search-based software engineering (SBSE), where techniques such as genetic improvement depend on mutation operators that reflect how code is actually transformed. Of the 33,596 agent PRs in the AIDev dataset, less than 400 target performance (fewer than 1%), making each successful case a valuable window into otherwise opaque agent behaviour. We classify...

Background Difficulty controlling or emptying the bowel is a common issue with devastating physical and mental health impacts. Digital technologies supporting bowel self-management remain limited. We are exploring a system combining an implanted sensor with a digital interface to support bowel self-management. This paper reports on the digital interface. Objectives To identify the information most valuable to adults living with bowel problems and the best ways to present it on the digital int...
