Adaptive Dual-Inference Framework for Self-Training in Large Language Models to Enhance Cognitive Task Performance
Authors: Valiv Thomas , Langley Daniel , Navarro Abigail , Perera Matthew
Published: September 2024

The need for improved task performance and adaptability in models designed to handle complex reasoning tasks has driven significant efforts toward more efficient learning mechanisms. The introduction of a dual-inference self-training framework presents a novel approach to enhancing cognitive task performance through iterative self-assessment and refinement without external supervision. This framework, applied to the Llama model, demonstrated the ability to improve accuracy, generalization, and reasoning efficiency across tasks of varying complexity. The dual-inference mechanism allowed the model to engage in recursive refinement cycles, enabling it to reduce errors and optimize output coherence in a manner that traditional fine-tuning techniques do not achieve. Experiments conducted across a range of cognitive challenges revealed substantial improvements in task complexity resolution, reasoning speed, and multi-domain generalization, further showing the framework’s efficacy. The findings suggest that autonomous learning frameworks, such as the one presented here, offer significant advantages in terms of scalability, cost-efficiency, and performance, providing new avenues for the development of intelligent systems capable of handling real-world cognitive tasks.
Light-matter interactions under inverted Schwarzschild space-time conditions
Authors: Avramenko Aleksandr
Published: September 2024

Perhaps one of the most intriguing pursuits in the physical sciences is the search for a way to unify the predictions of quantum mechanics with that of general relativity. Nowhere is this need more evident than when a massive body occupies an increasingly small volume, forming a singularity surrounded by an event horizon. The singularity warps space-time requiring the need to rely on relativistic equations, while at the same time its size requires a quantum treatment. This essay attempts to go through a thought experiment which analyzes how the electrons of a small molecule would react if such a moiety tunneled through the event horizon of a non-rotating Schwarzschild black hole. We find that beyond the Schwarzschild radius an inversion of space-time occurs. This results in the need to rethink how we see the Hilbert space vectors of a quantum wavefunction.
A Visual Recall Paradigm to Assess Implicit Statistical Learning Poster
Authors: Jenkins Holly Elizabeth , Riches Nicholas Greatorex , Smith Faye , de Graaf Ysanne , Wilson Benjamin
Published: September 2024

Implicit statistical learning is, by definition, learning that occurs without conscious awareness. However, measures that putatively assess implicit statistical learning often require explicit reflection. ‘Processing-based’ tasks can measure learning without requiring conscious reflection, by measuring processes that are facilitated by implicit statistical learning. In three experiments, we used visual serial recall tasks to demonstrate implicit statistical learning of two different artificial grammars. When stimuli consistently co-occur, it is efficient to ‘chunk’ them into a single cognitive unit, thus reducing working memory demands. Experiments 1 and 2 used a novel artificial grammar designed to facilitate this chunking effect. In these experiments participants showed better recall for predictable sequences than random sequences, demonstrating implicit learning. In experiment 3, we extend this finding to a more traditional artificial grammar, previously used to assess statistical learning in infants, adults and even nonhuman animals, and found strong learning effects. These experiments demonstrate that serial recall tasks are a valuable approach to measure implicit statistical learning, without reliance on conscious decision making or explicit processing.
War-related empathy towards Ukrainians is positively related to RWA and negatively related to SDO
Authors: Wypych Michał
Published: September 2024

Ideological attitudes, such as Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) and Right Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) shape the emotions people feel towards various groups. However, how exactly this relation looks like remains unclear. Previous studies have shown that SDO is negatively related to empathy. However, the relation between RWA and empathy is less clear and could be more context-dependent. We hypothesized that in the context of Russian invasion on Ukraine SDO would be negatively related to empathy towards Ukrainians while RWA would be positively related to empathy. We conducted a longitudinal study in 6 Central European countries (total N in t2 = 6128). The first wave was conducted shortly before the invasion and the second wave was conducted in December 2022. The results show that in all countries apart from the Czech Republic SDO was negatively related to empathy. In all countries apart from Czech Republic and Hungary RWA was positively related to empathy.

Authors: Risal Ajay
Published: September 2024

Grief is a natural reaction to the loss; mainly due to the death of a loved one. Sometimes, such reactions may be problematic or complicated. Culture serves as a buffer to deal with such losses, and supports the mature way of coping. Nepali cultural practices or the death rituals favor the restoration-oriented grieving process and are prophylactic approach in order to prevent any form of grief-related psychological reactions. This paper provides a narrative approach in which the writer shares his experiences as a Psychiatrist in dealing with grief-related problems of the clients in his own clinical practice. In addition, he also shares his own personal experience of losing his father and illustrates how the traditional practices followed by himself and his family during that time facilitated the grief-resolution process. He is very much convinced that the Nepali cultural approach during death rituals is very much scientific and psychotherapeutic.

Syaikh Ahmad Khatib Minangkabau dan Kontekstualisasi Syair Arab dalam Isbāt Al-Zain li Sulh Al-Jamā’atain
Authors: Ilyas Ahmad Fauzi
Published: September 2024

This article focuses on the authority of Shaikh Ahmad bin Abdul Lat}i>f al-Khati>b al-Jawi> al-Minkabawi> or Shaikh Ahmad Khatib Minangkabau (1860-1916) - abbreviated as Shaikh Ahmad Khatib - in the field of Arabic poetry in his work, Is}ba>t al-Zain li S}ulh al-Jama'atain bi Jawa>z Ta'addud al-Jumu'atain between pages 21-71. This work, although it discusses fiqh and his debate with Sayyid Usman Betawi over Friday prayers in Palembang at the end of the 19th century, contains many verses used in the context of making his argument. In fact, so far, he is only known as a figure in the fields of fiqh, tawhid, and tasawwuf. In this article, the side that has never been studied is from the side of his authority in Arabic poetry and then contextualizing the poetry in an argumentative debate with Sayyid Usman. Through a historical approach and Arabic literature, the results show that Syaikh Ahmad Khatib is an authoritative scholar in this field. This is because he is able to use it in the context of argumentation. However, his authority in this field is in the stage of quoting Arabic poetry from the compiler; not yet in the stage of creating. This article recommends that further research be conducted on Shaykh Ahmad Khatib's authority in this field in terms of his ability to create poetry in accordance with the rules and knowledge of Arabic literature.

Global Surge in Adolescent Obesity: A Growing Crisis
Authors: Salvi Rupali
Published: September 2024

Obesity is a rapidly growing global epidemic, marked by the excessive accumulation of body fat that significantly increases the risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers. Far from being merely the result of poor lifestyle choices, obesity is now understood as a complex, multifactorial disease influenced by a combination of genetic predispositions, environmental factors, and physiological processes.[1] The condition is primarily driven by a prolonged imbalance between caloric intake and energy expenditure, leading to sustained weight gain. The rising prevalence of obesity underscores the urgent need for comprehensive prevention and management strategies that not only address the biological underpinnings of the disease but also the broader social and environmental factors contributing to this public health crisis. Early intervention and the use of practical diagnostic tools such as body mass index and waist circumference are crucial in identifying at-risk individuals and implementing effective treatment plans to mitigate the severe health impacts of obesity.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Quality of care reflects how health-care services improve health outcomes. Nurses, as the largest health-care workforce, play a critical role. This study analyzed nurses’ perceptions of quality patient care and identified factors influencing it at MGM Hospital, Kamothe, India.Materials and Methods: Aquantitative, descriptive survey was conducted with 106 nurses using convenient sampling. The study included nurses aged 20 or above working directly with patients and willing to participate administrative permission was obtained from the MS of MGM hospital. Data were collected through Google Forms from June 09, 2021 to June 19, 2021, with links distributed through WhatsApp to the nursing superintendent and ward incharge.Results: The majority (65%) of nurses held a neutral perception of quality patient care, followed by negative (25%) and positive (16%) perceptions. The highest mean perception score (61.9%) with the lowest standard deviation (SD 2) was observed for communication between nurses, patients, and relatives among factors promoting quality care. Conversely, equipment and consumables had the highest mean perception score (55.4%) with the highest SD (3) as factors hindering quality care.Conclusion: While communication is perceived positively by nurses, a significant portion holds neutral or negative views on quality patient care. Equipment and resources are areas needing improvement. Further research with a larger, representative sample and qualitative methods is recommended to inform targeted interventions for enhancing care quality at the hospital. This study encourages beginning researchers to explore similar topics with different variables on a larger scale.

Published: September 2024

The organization of elections is a complex undertaking for any society. It requires the broadest social mobilization and implementation of various electoral activities, while complying with strict procedures and deadlines. Therefore, many things can—and often do—go wrong due to deficient laws, logistical hurdles, technical and human errors, or unethical actions taken by key electoral actors, to mention a few. When risks materialize, they can generate stresses, shocks or crises that can undermine the integrity of the electoral process. The Guide outlines key context-related (exogenous or external) risk factors that can undermine electoral integrity, either as a cause or contributing cause. When these risks factors materialize, they can generate stresses, shocks or crises in the electoral process. Combined with the partner Guide on internal (process) risk factors, it provides a more complete overview of electoral integrity risk factors.

Los leiomiosarcomas se evidencian como extensas áreas de heterogeneidad y realce heterogéneo, ocasionado por la presencia de necrosis y focos hemorrágicos.Normalmente no hay presencia de calcificaciones y hay ausencia de tejido adiposo, de esta manera que una gran masa retroperitoneal mayor a 10 cm sin contenido graso y necrosis interna variable debe sugerir la posibilidad de un leiomiosarcoma.La eliminación quirúrgica completa es el tratamiento de elección, ésta se debe realizar con márgenes negativos amplios, factor que repercute en el pronóstico, ya que estos tumores tienden a alcanzar un tamaño muy grande y, a menudo, la extirpación amplia es imposible, lo que afecta la supervivencia del paciente. Este tipo de neoplasias tienen un mal pronóstico, pues se sabe que la supervivencia a los 5 años es de aproximadamente 15%, debido a su alta tendencia a la invasión local, metástasis o diagnóstico tardío.

Published: September 2024

This study explores the pastoral experience during live-in activities for Catholic Religious Education Program students and its impact on their self-efficacy as future religious teachers and pastoral practitioners. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with students involved in pastoral activities at St. Michael Elopada. The results show that students' self-efficacy increases through social support from the congregation, success in organizing and guiding pastoral activities, inspiration from community leaders who are experienced and respected figures, and belief in their potential. The live-in experience becomes a significant source of self-efficacy, boosting students' confidence in their duties as religious teachers and pastoral practitioners. This study's novelty lies in its focus on the pastoral field and using a phenomenological approach, demonstrating that social support and successful experiences can enhance self-efficacy. The contribution to the study is that social support and experiences of success can increase a person’s self-efficacy.

This paper is devoted to a classical NP-hard problem, known as the three-index axial assignment problem. Within the corresponding framework, the problem of combining feasible solutions is posed as an assignment problem on the set of solutions containing only the components of selected feasible solutions. The issues of combining solutions for the multicriteria problem with different criteria convolutions are studied. In the general case, the combination problem turns out to be NP-hard. Polynomial solvability conditions are obtained for the combination problem.
