The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of three hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) POC-RDTs (Healgen®, Advanced Quality™ and Determine™) in an area with high prevalence of HBV in eastern Ethiopia. Results were compared with a commercial enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as gold standard. Quantification of HBsAg was performed in false negative samples. A total of 511 subjects were screened, of whom 81 (15.9 %) were HBsAg-positive with the gold standard. All three POC-RDTs were positive in 65 of the 81 positive samples, yielding a sensitivity (95 % confidence interval) of 80.2 % (70.3-87.5) and a specificity of 99.8 % (98.7-100 for Healgen® and Determine™; 98.6-100 for Advanced Quality™). False negatives were observed in 16 patients associated with low levels of HBsAg (median 1.5 IU/mL). All three POC-RDTs had reasonably high sensitivity and excellent specificity, but false negative results were observed in patients with low titres of HBsAg. Thus, these POC-RDTs might be useful to identify patients in need of HBV treatment, but cannot be recommended as blood donor screening tests. For visual perspective taking (VPT) using the avatar task, examinations of neural processes using event related potentials (ERP) indicate a distinction between an early posterior perspective calculation process (P3) and a later frontal process (LFSW) managing perspective conflict. While it is unknown if these neural processes are affected in clinical populations, it is unclear if the avatar task can be applied to this group, due to the long duration and sensitivity to data loss. Thus, we performed a methodological study of the avatar task, testing the feasibility of a shortened experimental paradigm. To investigate whether
