Artificial Intelligence is Like a Perpetual Stew, 73 AM. U. L. REV. _ (forthcoming 2024)
Authors: Reitinger Nathan
Published: February 2024

Artificial intelligence is inescapable. It is in our phones, fridges, and most of the businesses we engage with use it to “improve” their services. From deciding on what YouTube video to watch next to driving vehicles or firing weapons, artificial intelligence is a lynchpin in our society. But what is artificial intelligence? And, more importantly, why does that matter?It matters because we are currently unprepared to deal with the paradigm-shifting legal issues brought about by artificial intelligence. And without this understanding, we are nearly certainly going make mistakes; mistakes like failing to fully appreciate what copyright infringement means when artificial intelligence expresses the power of creativity or failing to understand how moving vehicle law, in and of itself, is ill-suited to encourage the safety of autonomous vehicles. The bright side, the former question, is that artificial intelligence is not complicated. Artificial intelligence—more accurately machine learning—is built on simple and intuitive concepts revolving around: (1) a particular type of machine known as a neural network; and (2) getting that machine to learn through a process of, or similar to, stochastic gradient descent. What is more, these concepts may be illuminated with a simple analogy: artificial intelligence is like a perpetual stew. All models (i.e., stews) are created by following a recipe (building the machine). The models are then set to live (i.e., a stew may simmer forever, if kept above a certain temperature). And as long as these models are maintained (i.e., re-trained on new data) they will continue pumping out accurate—tasty—results. The aim of this Essay is to provide a low-level, accurate, and easy-to-digest explanation of what artificial intelligence is. In turn, the Essay provides the legal community with an accurate vantage point from which to analyze the many AI-based issues that will not be on the horizon for much longer.
Taiwan's Foreign Policy and the Prisoner's Dilemma
Authors: Scanlan Oliver
Published: February 2024

A holistic accounting of Taiwan’s foreign policy objectives and commitments suggests an approach that is sprawling, under-funded and only partially coherent, despite significant adverse changes in the external environment. A discourse of ‘limited resources’ commonly used to explain lack of funding for government outlays does not stand scrutiny. A combination of substantial fiscal room for maneuver and a vast stock of capital assets under government management would in principle allow a more ambitious approach to external relations. Higher levels of financing could be allocated to dedicated foreign policy instruments like defense, Official Development Assistance (ODA) or the New Southbound Policy (NSP), and domestic programs that have substantial relevance to external relations, such as the 2022 Pathway to Net Zero. The reasons Taiwan has not done so should be a priority research area. One approach would combine Foreign Policy Analysis with diverse International Relations perspectives that can address the interplay between external and domestic factors. A promising hypothesis is that, as in the case of defense spending and priorities, the US policy of strategic ambiguity traps Taiwan in a prisoner’s dilemma, further complicated by domestic political differences, making any strategic, large-scale increase in resources impractical.
Identifying active ingredients of a parent-implemented communication intervention for deaf/hard of hearing toddlers: A randomized clinical trial
Authors: Jones Maranda , Zanzinger Katherine , Sudec Laura , Grauzer Jeffrey , Kaat Aaron J , Roberts Megan
Published: February 2024

Objective: Deaf/hard of hearing toddlers benefit from support early in development to facilitate gains in communication outcomes. Outcomes of a recent randomized clinical trial indicate that parent-implemented communication interventions (PICTs) facilitate communication outcomes for DHH children. In the current study, we implemented a serial mediation analysis to isolate the active ingredients of a PICT for DHH children. Methods: This single-site parallel stratified clinical trial (2x2; hearing device, communication mode) enrolled 96 parent-child dyads. Child inclusion criteria were: (a) between 12-18 months, (b) diagnosed with bilateral hearing loss, (c) no additional diagnoses, (d) had one parent with normal hearing, and (e) exposed to some degree of spoken language by their parents. Dyads were randomized to the control group or the PICT group, which taught parents to use communication support strategies (i.e., engagement strategies, primary language strategies, and supplemental language strategies) weekly via telehealth for 6 months. Parents’ strategy use was measured before, during, and immediately after intervention. Child communication outcomes were measured before and immediately after intervention. Results: Results demonstrated a significant serial mediation of the effect of PICT on child communication outcomes through parents’ use of engagement strategies and primary language strategies.Conclusion: Parents in the PICT condition learned to use engagement strategies, which in turn, facilitated their implementation of primary language strategies, ultimately leading to an improvement in child communication outcomes. Understanding the active ingredients and causal pathway of the PICT is an important consideration for implementation of the PICT in clinical practice.

Published: February 2024

Impaired musical rhythm abilities and developmental speech-language related disorders are biologically and clinically intertwined. Prior work examining their relationship has primarily used small samples; here, we studied associations at population-scale by conducting the largest systematic epidemiological investigation to date (total N = 39,092). Based on existing theoretical frameworks, we predicted that rhythm impairment would be a significant risk factor for speech-language disorders in the general adult population. Findings were consistent across multiple independent datasets and rhythm subskills (including beat synchronization and rhythm discrimination), and aggregate meta-analyzed data showed that rhythm impairment is a modest but consistent risk factor for developmental speech, language, and reading disorders (OR = 1.32 [1.14 – 1.49]; p < .0001). Further, cross-trait polygenic score analyses indicate shared genetic architecture between musical rhythm and reading abilities, providing evidence for genetic pleiotropy between rhythm and language-related phenotypes.

Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat telah dilaksanakan pada Penyediaan Air Minum dan Sanitasi Berbasis Masyarakat (Pamsimas) Bersatu Desa Candirejo yang terletak di Kecamatan Borobudur. Melalui program Pamsimas pemerintah Desa Candirejo membangun jaringan pipa air bersih untuk menjamin ketersediaan pasokan air warga. Dikenal dengan nama Pamsimas Bersatu, program ini disambut baik warga Desa. Namun pengelolaannya masih sangat terbatas, termasuk dalam sistem pembayaran. Semua proses dilakukan secara manual, dan masih dikerjakan oleh staf pemerintah Desa Candirejo. Dalam menjalankan sistem manual saat ini sering terjadi kesalahan seperti, terjadi selisih perhitungan uang yang diperoleh dengan catatan admin. Dari sisi pelanggan juga menunggu petugas memberikan lembar tagihan untuk dapat melakukan pembayaran, padahal saat ini petugas hanya ada 1 orang untuk menangani seluruh pelanggan. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan sistem pembayaran yang lebih efektif dan efisien. Salah satu solusinya adalah dengan memanfaatkan Teknologi Informasi. Sistem dirancang menggunakan metode Scrum, kemudian di aplikasikan pada pengelolaan Pamsimas Bersatu. Aplikasi ini menampung data pelanggan, data tagihan dan data pembayaran. Outputnya berupa tagihan, nota pembayaran, dan laporan. Penggunaan sistem informasi pembayaran air minum ini pengelola lebih mudah dan cepat dalam melakukan pekerjaannya. Terlebih jumlah pelanggan yang terus bertambah, membutuhkan sistem yang dapat meminialisir kesalahan meskipun dengan sumber daya manusia yang terbatas. Hasil pelaksanaan program pengabdian menunjukan bahwa sistem dapat meningkatkan efisiensi dalam pengelolaan Pamsimas seperti input pelanggan, input meter, cetak tagihan, input pembayaran dan cetak laporan.

Beyond Management Challenges: A Demise of a Cash Waqf Foundation
Authors: Mohammed Kabiru Musah  , Muntaka Alhaj Zakari , Hasan Aznan , Abdul Aziz Dawda
Published: February 2024

This study investigates how management challenges have caused the demise of the Ahlussunnah Wal-Jamaah Waqf Foundation (ASWAJWF) in Ghana using human resource theory and the behavioral theory of leadership. Interviews were conducted with 24 participants who were directly involved in the collection of cash waqf and the management of ASWAJWF in ten of the 16 regions of Ghana. The findings attributed ASWAJWF’s demise to leaders’ misunderstanding of waqf as a typical sadaqah, lack of investment initiatives to sustain the fund due to managerial incompetence, and failure to consult and heed voluntary expert advice. This is the first study to examine Ghana's waqf management challenges. It is also the first waqf study to use theories of demise to explain how management challenges caused a waqf institution to ‘die’. Its exploratory nature ignites and invites other researchers to examine the reasons for the demise/closure of cash waqf institutions, thus serving as a reference for researchers. Finally, we expect this study to draw the attention of cash waqf stakeholders, including policymakers, to the need to provide effective management and governance frameworks/tools to revive cash waqf and to safeguard the interests of donors, beneficiaries, and the public at large.

PROPAGANDA NARRATIVES AS A WEAPON OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN THE HYBRID WAR AGAINST UKRAINE
Authors: Lohvynyuk Tetyana
Published: February 2024

The armed aggression of Russia against Ukraine on February 24, 2022, not only violated the territorial integrity of the country but also significantly impacted the media landscape not only in Ukraine but worldwide. Against the backdrop of this new reality, the role of objective information for citizens has become crucial in the fight against information warfare.Contemporary high-quality press, which shapes the opinions of both citizens and politicians, has become an integral component of society. In the conditions of the ongoing hybrid war in Eastern Europe, their task is even more crucial – not only to inform but also to shape the perception of domestic and international policies.The Russian aggression has prompted radical changes not only in the lives of Ukrainians but also in the field of journalism. Journalists working in the conditions of armed conflict face challenges that demand not only professional skill but also patriotism and a high level of responsibility. Their work has become crucial for preserving democratic values and overcoming the misinformation actively spreadingin the network. In particular, the media scene in Ukraine has taken on an important task – not only informing the world about the real events on the front but also countering Russian propaganda, which seeks to influence global opinion and distort facts.The current conflict situation between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in significant losses not only in human and material terms but also in the moral-psychological aspect for Ukraine. In order to overcome adversity, identify mistakes, and address shortcomings, it is necessary to develop an effective strategy for responding to informational influences.Considering the anticipated duration of the war, the positional nature of the conflict, and the escalating informational influence of the aggressor, an increase in the activity of the Russian Federation in the information space and a heightened level of informational threats to our state can be expected. In this new reality, where information has become as crucial a weapon as firearms, citizens and journalistscollaborate to ensure the objectivity and reliability of information. The hybrid nature of the war requires not only military action on the front but also active work in the media space.However, beyond combating internal and external propaganda, internal societal consolidation becomes crucial. Efforts towards enhancing media literacy and critical thinking among citizens play a significant role in shaping a resilient society that upholds its values and remains true to the principles of democracy.
Правовая культура будущих педагогов-психологов
Authors: Темиров К.У.
Published: February 2024

В статье рассмотрено понятие правовой культуры. Проанализирована различная информация по данной теме, были выявлены и обоснованы представления, компоненты и элементы правовой культуры высококвалифицированного педагога-психолога. Общество, частью которого являются педагоги, устанавливает цели образования и организационные рамки, в которых протекает учебный процесс. В самом широком смысле роль педагога-психолога заключается в том, чтобы облегчить процесс обучения. Педагогическая деятельность основана на адаптации преподавательского инструментария к образовательным потребностям учащегося. С темпом развития современного мира и социально-экономическими преобразованиями появляется необходимость в формировании грамотного гражданского общества и правового государства. В различных сферах нашего общества происходит процесс социальной модернизации. В особенности, это касается образовательной сферы, так как она является одним из важнейших социальных институтов, воспитывающих личность, владеющей правовой культурой. Таким образом, в современном мире выдвигаются особые требования к личности будущего педагога-психолога и его профессиональной подготовке. В век информационных технологий от педагога-психолога требуется непрерывное профессиональное обучение на протяжении всей его деятельности. Саморазвитие является ключевым аспектом личности будущего педагога-психолога. Актуальность темы обусловлена тем, что для воспитания личности, владеющей правовой культурой, педагог-психолог должен быть квалифицирован в данном вопросе. В компетенции будущего педагога-психолога входят не только общепонятийные представления о воспитании и обучении детей, но и ориентирование в нормативно-правовых документах, защищающих и устанавливающих права субъектов, участвующих в процессе обучения. Таким образом, педагог-психолог на данный момент – не только человек, осуществляющий педагогическую деятельность, но и личность, которая может защитить свои права, а также интересы подопечных. Отсюда следует, что появляется необходимость расширения границ в области правовой культуры в профессиональной деятельности будущих педагогов-психологов

Authors: Gupta Anuj , Chhabra Harvinder Singh , Singh Vishwajeet , Nagarjuna Daram
Published: February 2024

Study Design: Double-blind randomized controlled pilot study.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes of steroids with autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) administered by lumbar transforaminal injection (LTI) in patients with lumbar radiculopathy. Overview of Literature: Degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine is one of the most common conditions managed by spine surgeons in routine practice. Once conservative management fails, LTI is diagnostic and often therapeutic. Steroids are the gold standard drug used for LTI but have limitations and side effects.Methods: In this single-center double-blind randomized controlled pilot study, 46 patients were recruited and randomized by the lottery method. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for leg pain, modified Oswestry Disability Index (mODI), and Short-Form 12 (SF-12) were assessed at 1 week, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year.Results: Both groups were comparable in terms of demographics, preprocedure VAS scores, mODI, and SF-12 scores (p=0.52). At the 1-week follow-up, the steroid group had significantly better improvement than the PRP group (p=0.0001). At the 3-week follow-up, both groups showed comparable outcomes; however, the PRP group had better symptom improvement. At 6 weeks and 6 months, the PRP group had better outcomes (VAS, p<0.0001; ODI, p=0.02; SF-12, p=0.002). Moreover, 17 and 16 patients in the steroid and PRP groups underwent repeat LTI with steroids or surgery because of pain recurrence during follow-up. At 1 year, no difference in outcomes was observed.Conclusions: PRP may be a useful alternative to steroids for LTI in lumbar radiculopathy. Although improvement was delayed and 1-year outcomes were comparable, the 6-week and 6-month outcomes were better with PRP than with LTI. Multiple PRP injections may be beneficial because of its autologous nature. However, further studies with a larger number of participants, longer follow-up, and repeat LTIs are warranted to draw definite conclusions.

The use of wastewater irrigation may contribute to the metal accumulation, and reduction of nutrient level of vegetables, which would then have an adverse effect on human health. Therefore, in the present study we investigated heavy metals contamination and its impact on nutrient quality of vegetables and health risk. The study was conducted from the agricultural fields of Varanasi distinct during the period from March 2022 to June 2023 and all the laboratory work was carried in the department of Botany, Banaras Hindu University. Heavy metal concentrations in water, soil, and vegetable samples were measured using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The physiochemical property (pH), daily intake of metal, metal pollution index and health quotient were also calculated according to the published protocols. All heavy metal were found in higher concentrations in the wastewater irrigated soil that control site. The Lohta site had the highest concentration of heavy metals in the vegetables, followed by Dinapur, and least at control site (BHU). The highest concentration of metals (Cu, Zn, and Pb) were found in the leafy vegetables (S. oleracea and A. esculentus) whereas lowest in fruity vegetables (P. vulgaris). The rise in the Metal Pollution Index (MPI) also provided evidence for the greater metal content of these vegetables. The S. oleracea was found to have the highest DIM (0.061 g/g) while P. vulgaris had the lowest (0.007 g/g). HQ values of these metals were found greater than one ( greater than 1) for both children and adults on the ingestion of the vegetables of wastewater irrigated sites. Further, nutrient contents (Na, Mg, Ca) were also declined in the vegetables of wastewater irrigated site when compared to control site. These findings suggest that the consumption of such vegetables leads to compromised health and might be associated with severe health risk in the human.
Infeções do trato genito-urinário e inibidores SGLT2: estudo caso-controlo numa USF
Authors:   USF Garcia de Orta, Lopes Nina , Baptista Sofia ,   University of Porto, Teixeira Andreia ,   University of Porto
Published: February 2024

Introdução: Os inibidores do co-transportador de sódio-glicose 2 (iSGLT2) são fármacos cada vez mais utilizados no tratamento da diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) por apresentarem benefícios em doentes com comorbilidades como doença renal crónica e insuficiência cardíaca. Existe evidência que suporta a relação entre a terapêutica com iSGLT2 e o aumento do risco de infeções genitais. Em relação à sua associação com infeções do trato urinário (ITU) existem algumas incongruências na literatura. Objetivos: Avaliar se os utentes com DM2 medicados com iSGLT2 estão em risco aumentado de terem ITU e infeções genitais, numa amostra de doentes com DM2 seguidos numa Unidade de Saúde e Familiar (USF), em comparação com utentes sob terapêutica com outros grupos farmacológicos de antidiabéticos, que não os iSGLT2. Métodos: Estudo caso-controlo, com uma população com DM2 inscritos numa USF do Norte de Portugal. Foram comparados os registos, do ano de 2021, de ocorrência de cistite, pielonefrite/ pielite, balanite, prostatite, vaginite, candidíases e tricomoníase em utentes medicados com iSGLT2 com um grupo não medicado com estes fármacos (variável grupo: caso ou com iSGLT2 vs controlo ou sem iSGLT2). Foram efetuados modelos de regressão logística (simples e múltiplos) de forma a estudar a associação entre a terapêutica com iSGLT2 e as infeções mencionadas. Resultados: Amostra final: 953 utentes. Para a ocorrência de cistite, o grupo iSGLT2 mostrou-se protetor para este outcome, com um OR de 0,47 [0,24; 0,90]. Quando a variável grupo foi ajustada para os fatores de risco potencialmente confundidores perdeu a significância no modelo final 0,54 [0,27; 1,07]. Para o desenvolvimento de pielonefrite, balanite, vaginite e tricomoníase, a variável grupo não se mostrou significativamente associada. Conclusão: Este estudo parece favorecer a segurança a nível de infeções urinárias e genitais na utilização dos iSGLT2 que possam limitar a prescrição destes fármacos.

Characterizations That Help Explain Particle and Cosmic Data
Authors: Buckholtz Thomas J.
Published: February 2024

This paper suggests explanations for otherwise seemingly unexplained data about elementary particles and cosmology. The explanations have bases in coordinate-based modeling and in integer-based characterizations for some catalogs. One catalog features properties - including charge, mass, and spin - of objects. Another catalog features all known and some possible elementary particles. Assumptions include that multipole-expansion mathematics have uses regarding long-range interactions - such as gravity - and that nature includes six isomers of all elementary particles other than long-range-interaction bosons. One isomer associates with ordinary matter. Five isomers associate with dark matter. Multipole notions help explain large-scale aspects such as the rate of expansion of the universe.
Psychoneuroimmunology in SARS-CoV-2 infection: A Molecular Approach
Authors: Altable Marcos
Published: February 2024

The human body is constantly at risk from threats like bacteria, viruses, and pollution. While our immune system, especially macrophages, protects us from these threats, overwhelming negative challenges can weaken it, leading to severe diseases. Everyone's immune response varies, making some more resistant to diseases than others. Immunology studies this defence system. Psychoneuroimmunology delves into the connections between psychology, the nervous system, and immunity. Emotional states such as anxiety or stress can weaken one's immune response. The central nervous system (CNS) is particularly vulnerable to viruses. Historically, influenza pandemics have resulted in increased mental health issues, with some debates linking the Spanish flu to neurological consequences. Several viruses, including the herpes virus and coronavirus, can impact the brain. Research has shown connections between chronic illnesses, such as HIV and tuberculosis, and mental disorders like depression. Epidemics like SARS and Ebola have also been linked to widespread behavioural reactions and mental disorders in survivors and healthcare workers. Neuropsychiatric disorders can arise from various mechanisms, like cerebral hypoxia or direct brain infections.
