A practice-oriented guide to statistical inference in linear modeling for non-normal or heteroskedastic error distributions
Authors: Weber Hanna , Huber Stefan E. , Arendasy Martin
Published: January 2025

Selecting an appropriate statistical method is a challenge frequently encountered by applied researchers, especially if assumptions for classical, parametric approaches are violated. To provide some guidelines and support, we compared classical hypothesis tests with their typical distributional assumptions of normality and homoskedasticity with common and easily accessible alternative inference methods (HC3, HC4, and six bootstrap methods) in the framework of ordinary least squares (OLS) regression. The method’s performances were assessed for four different regression models with varying levels of non-normality and heteroskedasticity of errors and five different sample sizes ranging from 25 to 500 cases. For each scenario 10,000 samples of observations were generated. Type I error and coverage rates, power, and standard error bias were examined to assess the methods’ performance. No method considered here performed satisfactorily on all accounts. Using HC3 or HC4 standard errors, or a wild bootstrap procedure with percentile confidence intervals, could yield reliable results in many, but not all, scenarios. We suppose that, in the case of assumption violations, researchers might refer to a method that performed best in a scenario most similar to their data situation. To aid selection of an appropriate method we provide tables comparing relative performances in all considered scenarios.
Proving Fermat’s Last Theorem Using Partial Differences of Powers and the Binomial Theorem
Authors: Kusniec Charles
Published: January 2025

Abstract: Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT), proposed in 1637 by Pierre de Fermat, states that no positive integers a, b, and c satisfy the equation a^n + b^n = c^n for any integer n > 2. While Fermat claimed to have discovered a "truly marvelous proof" for this result, his proof was never found, leading to centuries of attempts to verify the theorem. In 1994, Andrew Wiles produced the first rigorous proof using advanced techniques in algebraic geometry and modular forms. This study seeks to revisit FLT through classical and elementary approaches that could have been accessible during Fermat’s era. Our work revisits FLT using classical methods, analyzing integers as differences of squares and oblongs and leveraging tools like partial differences and the Binomial Theorem. While identifying gaps in classical approaches, we propose generalized frameworks to extend the understanding of higher powers and integer sequences. The analysis reformulates the equation c^n = (y + h)^n and b^n = y^n for h > 0, offering a general framework for studying the difference of powers using elementary tools such as the Binomial Theorem and the Method of Common Differences. As a restricted case, we examine c = b + 1 and prove that the difference (b + 1)^n - b^n is never an n-th power for n > 2. This is extended to arbitrary differences h, demonstrating that (y + h)^n - y^n cannot equal a^n for any integer a > 1. The proof involves bounding arguments for large values of y, modular constraints, and telescoping sum representations. Additionally, the function M(n) https://oeis.org/A224996, which marks the transition point where differences of powers change behavior, is introduced as a key analytical tool. While this study relies on principles and methods accessible during Fermat’s time, it provides fresh insights into integer sequences, finite differences, and visual patterns in number theory. Beyond proving FLT for n > 2, the work contributes to a deeper understanding of the relationships between squares, oblong numbers, and higher powers, forming the foundation for future research in both classical and modern mathematics.This study, presented as a preprint, offers preliminary insights that are yet to undergo peer review. Future revisions may further refine the findings and conclusions drawn here.Keywords: Fermat's Last Theorem, number theory, partial differences, method of common differences, Binomial Theorem, polynomial growth, integer sequences, historical proofs.2020 Mathematics Subject Classification: 11D41, 11A05, 11B37, 11Y70, 11B83.
Demography of grandmothering – a case study in Agta foragers
Authors: Page Abigail Emma , Dyble Mark , Migliano Andrea , Chaudhary Nikhil , Viguier Sylvain , Major-Smith Daniel
Published: January 2025

Women who care for multiple highly dependent children require significant support from non-maternal caregivers (allomothers). Theoretically, grandmothers are seen as key allomothers due to low costs and high inclusive fitness returns. Empirically, however, the evidence is inconsistent and the reasons for this variation are not well-understood. Understanding the factors which promote, or hinder, grandmaternal childcare, such as demographic schedules, is an important next step. Here, we explore the demographic predictors of the low levels of grandmothering for 78 Agta children. Due to generational fertility trends (ages of first and last birth) grandmothers still had dependent children until an average age of 52, creating reproductive overlap. Little to no grandmaternal investment after the age of 60 is explained by declining health in older women due to high mortality rates. This means the ‘helping window’ for grandmothering only spans seven years on average, yet the impact of this period is still be limited by multiple dependent grandchildren given high total fertility rates. We suggest then that grandmothering is constrained by 1) generational reproductive overlap and 2) grandchildren competition. Accordingly, we tested how: 1) the number of dependent children and 2) grandchildren associated with grandmothering using Bayesian mixed-effect models. We found moderate to strong evidence that the more children/grandchildren a women had, the lower her investment in each grandchild. Consequently, whether grandmothers help, or not, appears to be a function of demographic schedules, which vary widely. Future formal demographic modelling then will help shed light on the evolution of grandmothering in humans.
The Role of Speciesism and Social Dominance Orientation in the Brachycephalic Dog Breeding Paradox
Authors: Schubert Misty , Cobb Mia L
Published: January 2025

Paradoxically, despite increased recognition of extreme welfare issues, brachycephalic (flat-faced) dog breeding retains a social license to operate. Related psychological research suggests human attitudes consistent with speciesism and social dominance orientation are associated with problematic treatment towards animals. Using an online survey with 545 participants, this study explored the role of these attitudes on the relationship between knowledge of health issues associated with brachycephalic dogs and support for changing brachycephalic dog breeding practices. Unexpectedly, 70% of participants supported changing brachycephalic dog breeding practices. Moderated and mediated multiple regression indicated that speciesism is a stronger predictor of support for change than knowledge and that speciesism attitudes uniquely relate to animal use acceptance, above and beyond social dominance orientation. Results further support the notion that speciesism is a form of prejudice and that these attitudes are likely to perpetuate social acceptance of breeding dogs destined to experience a low quality of life.
What causes the semantic elaboration benefit in long-term memory?
Authors: Dutli Joscha , Oberauer Klaus , Bartsch Lea Maria
Published: January 2025

The semantic elaboration benefit in long-term memory refers to the finding that words are better remembered when processed with semantically congruent rather than incongruent orienting questions. Elaboration is a well-established and widely referenced concept in memory research. Yet, studies investigating the mechanisms underlying its benefit are scarce. Most prominently, elaboration has been assumed to benefit memory by producing distinct representations. In two experiments, we directly manipulated the distinctiveness of semantically processed memory representations. Participants either processed only one feature of a word with three different orienting questions, or they processed three features of a word. Processing three features did not lead to better memory performance than processing only one. Thus, our results provide firm evidence against distinctiveness as an explanation of the elaboration benefit.
Common creativity
Authors: Overmann Karenleigh A.
Published: January 2025

Creativity is often conceived in terms of insight, innovation, and invention realized through technical mastery and skill. Challenging this individualistic model are “inventions” like writing, something that surely gave no clue to the form it would ultimately take—script—or the ways in which it would reorganize behaviors and brains in the cognitive state known as literacy. Here writing is analyzed as a tool used collectively and collaboratively. Collective, collaborative use enabled the tool to become increasingly effective at eliciting specific behavioral and psychological responses. Collective, collaborative use also subjected the tool to the combined force of the individual variability represented by different user and material combinations over time. Combined variability influenced tool form toward features reflecting both the average behavioral, physiological, and psychological capacities of the tool-using community and points of maximal usability. The result offers a new model of creativity, one based not on the individual but on collective, collaborative use and incremental change in behaviors and brains, materially accumulated and redistributed between generations. The model presents aspects of human innovation that escape the individualistic model by focusing on ordinary tool-using behaviors and sustained use within social groups as the critical elements.

Authors: Yadav Santosh Kumar , Mallik Sneha , Khattri Bishal
Published: January 2025

Background: Diabetes mellitus and thyroid disorders are among the two most common endocrine disorders encountered in clinical settings. These two disorders are shown to influence each other, and scholars generally report an association between both conditions. Uncontrolled thyroid disorders can result in abnormal glycemic control in diabetic patients. Thyroid disorder is mainly manifested in patients suffering from diabetes and is associated with increased age, especially in type 2 diabetes. This study aims to establish the prevalence of thyroid disorder in type 2 diabetes mellitus, to estimate fasting blood glucose levels, and to detect glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in euthyroid, hypothyroid, and hyperthyroid subjects.
Material and methods: The present hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 66 subjects aged 21 to 80. The thyroid hormones were evaluated using the ELISA method, and HbA1c was estimated using the High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method.
Results: The present study showed the majority of participants were 41-60 years old and had a higher prevalence of hypothyroidism (21.21%) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but the prevalence of hyperthyroidism was lower, 10.60% in T2DM.
Conclusion: T2DM was found to be more common among older adult groups (41-60 years). Hypothyroidism was more prevalent compared to hyperthyroidism in diabetes mellitus. Therefore, timely diagnosis should be made to prevent complications of thyroid disorders in diabetic individuals.

Published: January 2025

Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, faces significant traffic congestion due to rapid urban growth, impacting residents' daily lives and hindering economic and environmental sustainability. This study investigates the global implementation of IoT in traffic management, drawing lessons for Kathmandu and identifying associated challenges. Using a mixed-methods approach, primary data were collected via surveys and interviews with traffic authorities, urban planners, and residents, while secondary data came from existing traffic reports and studies. The findings reveal positive perceptions of IoT's role in traffic management, with high optimism for its effectiveness (Mean = 2.05) and low standard deviations indicating consensus. Significant correlations were found between IoT, smart infrastructure, public awareness, and traffic management. Regression analysis shows a strong model fit (R-squared = 0.759), highlighting the positive impact of public awareness and infrastructure on traffic management. However, caution is advised in generalizing the findings, and further research is recommended to explore additional factors influencing traffic management in Kathmandu.

Rozważania nad teorią hegemonii. Nowy optymizm i krytyka neoliberalizmu
Authors: Kufliński Mateusz
Published: January 2025

The current theory of hegemony, which has been constituting since the 1950s, is neoliberalism. Although the 2008 crisis has caused it to be criticised, this does not mean that the theory has been thoroughly challenged. The American anthropologist and economist Jason Hickel points to the emergence of a group of new optimists who, although officially critical of neoliberalism, are, in fact, only practising apparent criticism since, in practice, they approve of the status quo or even reinforce this neoliberal hegemony. This article explores the theory of hegemony and the viewpoint of new optimists about the current hegemony, incorporating Hickel's insight into the problem.

Penelitian ini menganalisis poster film Inside Out 2 menggunakan teori semiotika Roland Barthes untuk memahami bagaimana elemen visual dalam poster tersebut mengkomunikasikan makna tentang emosi dan pengalaman manusia. Poster ini menampilkan karakter-karakter emosi seperti Joy dan Sadness, yang direpresentasikan melalui warna dan ekspresi wajah untuk menciptakan makna denotatif dan konotatif. Dengan warna kuning pada Joy dan biru pada Sadness, poster ini menggambarkan kebahagiaan dan kesedihan sebagai emosi yang saling melengkapi dalam keseimbangan emosional. Analisis konotatif menunjukkan bahwa kedekatan fisik antar karakter dan desain visual mereka membentuk mitos tentang pentingnya menerima seluruh spektrum emosi, baik positif maupun negatif, dalam mencapai kesejahteraan mental. Mitos ini mencerminkan nilai budaya modern tentang pentingnya kesehatan mental dan penerimaan diri. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa poster Inside Out 2 bukan hanya alat promosi, tetapi juga menyampaikan pesan yang relevan terkait dengan identitas, hubungan emosional, dan kesehatan mental. Melalui pendekatan semiotika Barthes, penelitian ini memberikan wawasan mendalam tentang bagaimana media visual dapat membangun mitos yang berdampak pada pemahaman masyarakat mengenai emosi.

Published: January 2025

This research is based on the use of "ngalem" or praising oral speech in daily communication. “Ngalem” is an expression to show admiration for other people. Nowadays, the use of this term is rarely use in Javanese society. This research aims to describe and explain the types of metaphors found in Javanese speech when someone "ngalem" or praises another person. Next, provide data using the listen and note method. There are several findings, first, "ngalem" or praise is usually intended to praise the beauty of male and female body parts including the head, body, hands, and feet. Second, the type of metaphor that dominates is anthropomorphic metaphor. "ngalem" tends to match parts of the human body with inanimate objects. Third, the animal metaphor type is used to describe a beautiful neck as if it were coiled like a snake, while the synthetic metaphor is used to "smile" at the beauty of the lips. Some informants still remember this expression but tend not to understand its meaning. Some informants also no longer introduce these expressions to their children or grandchildren. Implicitly, this research also illustrates the phenomenon of the Javanese community's declining interest in maintaining and passing on the language to the generations below.

Currently, drugs containing antivascular endothelial growth factor are the only effective treatment for this chronic and progressive disease. The treatment regimens for this disease in the last two decades have seen a shift from a simple endeavor to stabilize the disease to achieving maximum improvement of visual acuity and its maintenance, with improvement of the patient's quality of life and a minimal treatment burden on patients and their families. Other goals of the alternative dosing regimens that have replaced the original fixed regimens were greater individualization of the dosing regimen, better patient cooperation, saving financial costs and reducing the burden on application centers. Age-related macular degeneration, whether dry form or wet form, represents a serious health and socioeconomic problem, as the disease is one of the most common causes of severe and irreversible central visual acuity disorders up to the degree of practical blindness of one or both eyes in people over 50 years of age in developed industrialized countries. The most important issue is to ensure early diagnosis of this disease, followed by prompt and continuous treatment with an individualized proactive treatment regimen, with the aim of stabilizing and improving anatomical and functional results.
MULTIPLICATION CHALLENGES ON THE DEMOCRACY OF SRI LANKA

Sri Lanka’s democracy faces significant challenges, particularly in the wake of the 2022 economic crisis and political unrest. Since gaining independence in 1948, the country has struggled with issues such as executive overreach, corruption, and economic mismanagement. These problems have weakened democratic institutions and deepened public distrust. The research examines the impact of the concentration of power in the executive branch, especially following constitutional changes like the 20th Amendment, which limited checks and balances. The 2022 economic collapse intensified public dissatisfaction, leading to widespread protests against the ruling class. The study uses both primary and secondary data. Primary data includes interviews with civil society experts, political analysts, and legal professionals, providing insights into socio-political dynamics. Secondary data comprises constitutional amendments, government reports, and legislative documents to trace governance changes. Findings reveal that weak political institutions and corruption undermine democracy, even as external pressure for reform grows. Key issues include a lack of judicial independence, exclusion of marginalized ethnic groups, and poor governance. The study underscores the need for political and civil society collaboration to rebuild public trust and strengthen democratic values. Reforms focusing on reducing corruption, ensuring an independent judiciary, and promoting inclusivity are essential for long-term democratic stability. Without decisive action, the vision of a united, democratic Sri Lanka remains at risk.

Obesity among children and adolescents has become a global problem. In recent years, the number of children with excess body weight has increased. Obesity among children often persists into adulthood, consequently contributing remarkably to an increase in the incidence of many diseases. The aim of this study is to conduct a comprehensive review of literature on obesity among adults and adolescents, focused on identifying the major side effects of childhood obesity on future adult life and importance of prevention. A review of the literature available in the “PubMed” database and books was conducted. Childhood obesity may have a significant impact not only on its side effects in the early age, but may also increase the risk of developing many chronic diseases in the future. It has been shown that childhood obesity may have an important impact on the development of cardiovascular, metabolic, oncological and mental health diseases. These diseases usually do not appear at a young age, but the processes leading to their development may be initiated already in the early years of life. Due to numerous unfortunate implications in both childhood and adult life, it is crucial to prevent obesity from an early age of life, which will subsequently help to avoid many diseases in the future. Teaching children and adolescents appropriate lifestyle habits, such as healthy diet and physical activity, is very important. In order to effectively avoid the complications of obesity, new strategies and solutions should be sought to help and protect children against this serious disease.

Purpose. Study of discontinuous mesostructures in outcrops of volcanogenic formations of the western part of the Vyhorlat-Hutyn Range in the Uzh River basin of the Transcarpathian basin.

Methods. An analysis of geological maps of the territory and the results of previous studies of magmatic formations of the region and their breaking dislocations was carried out. Field studies of deformation structures and their paragenesis were carried out using structural-geological and tectonophysical methods. Special computer programs to process field data and determine the conditions for the formation of breaking structures in paleostress fields were used.

Results. Outcrops of andesites and their tuffs of the Antalivsky complex of volcanic rocks of the Upper Miocene on the southern outskirts of Perechyn city in the Uzh River basin were studied. Field tectonophysical studies of morphological features and kinematic types of breaking structures and their conditions of occurrence have been carried out. A large volume of data on rock occurrence elements and breaking dislocations, grooves and lines on the slip mirrors of fault structures was obtained. Systems of tectonic cracks and faults, their paragenesis and relationships have been established. The reconstruction of paleostress fields, in which rupture dislocations were formed, was carried out. It was established, that in the study area, rupture structures were formed in a shear and strike-slip field. The massif of volcanic rocks was in a state of tension in the northeast direction. The systems of breaking structures of the latitudinal and north-west directions is characterized by dextral shear deformations.

Scientific novelty. Paleostress fields in the youngest volcanic rocks of the Antalivskyi complex (Upper Miocene) for the first time in the region have been established. New data on morphological and kinematic types of rupture dislocations in the andesites of the complex have been obtained.

Practical significance. The young deformation and stress fields, that have been established in the region, allow us to construct a more reliable series of changes in the kinematic types of these fields based on age, which has always been a problem for tectonophysical studies.

Key words: Vyhorlat-Hutyn complex, andesites, breaking dislocations, dextral shift, strike-slip fault, paleostress.
ASSESSMENT OF THE BEARING CAPACITY OF PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES MADE OF ROCKING SHAPES FOR PREPARATORY MINING WORKS

Purpose.To evaluate the load-bearing capacity of protective structures made of crushed stone to ensure the stability of the preparatory production of the excavation site of the coal mine.

Methods. Modeling of the deformation properties of protective structures made of crushed rock was performed on experimental samples during their static loading under the condition of uniaxial compression with the possibility of lateral expansion of the original material or its compression compression. Crushed rock of different granulometric composition was used as the starting material.

Results. The conditions of compression of protective structures made of crushed rock determine their behavior and stress-strain state under static load. Taking into account the granulometric composition of the crushed rock, a difference of 1.8-2.6 times was established between the values ​​of the relative deformation of the embedded material, which was in compression or uniaxial compression (with the possibility of lateral expansion of the crushed rock). The dual nature of the deformation effects, which affect the mechanical characteristics of embedded materials, is substantiated, which expands their ability to limit the movement of side rocks by providing the necessary bearing capacity, which affects the stability of the preparatory mine workings.

Scientific novelty. The functional dependence between the compaction coefficients of the crushed rock and the transverse deformation of the embedded material was established, which makes it possible to evaluate the bearing capacity of protective structures under static load conditions in a stressed-deformed state.

Practical significance. To assess the load-bearing capacity of protective structures of preparatory mining, it is necessary to take into account the granulometric composition of crushed rock, which affects the relative deformation and compaction coefficient of the embedded material.
