Artificial Intelligence-Powered Criminal Sentencing in Malaysia: A conflict with the rule of law
Authors: Mohd Shith Putera Nurus Sakinatul Fikriah , Saripan Hartini , A. Bajury Mimi Sintia , Ya’cob Syazni Nadzirah
Published: October 2022

Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to heighten human decision-making, including in court. AI sentencing would be better at detecting, organizing, and calibrating all of the variables correlated to sentencing, such as prior criminal records, educational background, substance abuse history, and employment history, resulting in consistencies that traditional sentencing may not be able to provide. AI pervades the Malaysian judiciary system when AI criminal sentencing was launched for the first time to augment the process of meting out sentences in Sabah courts. Despite its promising benefits, AI sentencing may infringe the fundamental principle of due process, presents unacceptable risks of error and implicit bias, and reliance on AI to predict recidivism which forms significant components of the rule of law. The rule of law guarantees that all entities are subject to and accountable to a clear and known law. It enables the judicial branch of the government to be independent and to resolve dispute in a fair manner while upholding the presumption of innocence and preventing the exercise of arbitrary powers. The present research, therefore, examines the use of AI in supporting court processes and human judges, discovering its technical characteristics, practical constraints, and legal theoretical consequences for decision-making processes. Employing jurisprudential analysis as the method of research, this research explores an adjudicatory paradigm that prefers standardisation over discretion, leading in the waning of the notion of rule of law pertinent to the justice system. The metamorphosis to AI adjudication will undoubtedly promote the growth of digitalized dispute resolution by providing efficiency and at least a semblance of impartiality, but it is also poised to birth concerns by making the legal system data-driven, alienating, and disillusioning.

Published: October 2022

It is no doubt that corruption has enormous effects on the efficiency of the healthcare sector. Henceforth, the healthcare sector is a very complex and challenging sector for preventing corruption. Unpacking this issue leads us to the efforts made by the Malaysian government through the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and Cabinet Special Committee on Anti-Corruption (JKKMAR) by attempting to control corruption in a variety of ways, such as through general accountability frameworks and broader inclusion of transparency in its operations. Therefore, this research aims to present a legal framework, policy and good practice to guide policymakers in examining corruption in the health sector and to identify possible ways to intervene towards achieving a corrupt-free nation as echoed in the National Anti-Corruption Plan (NACP) 2019-2023.

Приводятся результаты экспериментальных и теоретических исследований магнитокалорических свойств ленточного образца сплава Ni45Co5Mn31Al19 в интервале T=80-350 K в магнитных полях до 8 Т. Данный сплав демонстрирует магнитоструктурный фазовый переход (МСФП) 1-го рода в области температур 270 K, а также переход II рода --- при температуре Кюри 294 K. Магнитокалорический эффект (МКЭ) исследовался как прямым методом модуляции магнитного поля в циклических полях до 8 T, так и классическим экстракционным методом. Полевые зависимости МКЭ имеют различный характер для фазовых переходов I и II родa. Вблизи МСФП обратный МКЭ необратим, т. е. конечная температура образца ниже начальной на 0.75 K. Теоретические исследования магнитных свойств и МКЭ исследуемого образца выполнено с помощью ab initio расчетов и моделирования методом Монте-Карло. Теоретические температурные зависимости МКЭ характеризуются схожим интервалом проявления эффекта в области мартенситного превращения и более узким интервалом в области температуры Кюри аустенита по сравнению с экспериментом, что обусловлено наличием неоднородного смешанного состояния аустенита в экспериментальном образце. В целом, теоретические данные качественно и количественно воспроизводят экспериментальные зависимости. Ключевые слова: магнитокалорический эффект, циклические поля, сплав Гейслера, метод Монте-Карло.

Human–robot interactions require the ability of the system to determine if the user is paying attention. However, to train such systems, massive amounts of data are required. In this study, we addressed the issue of data scarcity by constructing a large dataset (containing ~120,000 photographs) for the attention detection task. Then, by using this dataset, we established a powerful baseline system. In addition, we extended the proposed system by adding an auxiliary face detection module and introducing a unique GAN-based data augmentation technique. Experimental results revealed that the proposed system yields superior performance compared to baseline models and achieves an accuracy of 88% on the test set. Finally, we created a web application for testing the proposed model in real time.

The great diversity of quinoa allows variations in physiological, production, and compositional performance. This study aimed to evaluate six quinoa cultivars through the physiological and nutritional responses of their seeds. Different dynamics were identified in the plant height, and the number of leaves was adjusted to sigmoidal models with R2 greater than 0.97 and 0.77, respectively. The chlorophyll concentration varied through the phenological phases, as did the maximum quantum yield of photosystem II. Differences in the quinoa grains were found between CIEL*a*b* colorimetric coordinates and protein, carbohydrate, and fat contents. In this sense, quinoa cultivars manifest different biological behaviors associated with their genetic nature. Besides, a relationship between cultivars and seed composition was recognized. These results will allow researchers to study other significant differences between the precocity expressed by the Puno, Nariño, and Titicaca cultivars and those with a longer phenological cycle such as the Soracá cultivar.
Removing Dust From the German Health Care System by Introducing Health Apps Into Standard Care: Semistructured Interview Study
Authors: Heidel Alexandra , Hagist Christian , Spinler Stefan , Schoeneberger Michael
Published: October 2022

Background

In 2019, Germany launched the Digital Healthcare Act. The reform enables physicians to prescribe health apps as treatments to their statutory-insured patients.

Objective

We aimed to determine the extent to which the integration of health apps into standard care could be considered beneficial and which aspects of the regulation could still be improved.

Methods

We conducted a semistructured interview study with 23 stakeholders in Germany and analyzed them thematically. We used descriptive coding for the first-order codes and pattern coding for the second-order codes.

Results

We created 79 first-order codes and 9 second-order codes following the interview study. Most stakeholders argued that the option of prescribing health apps could improve treatment quality.

Conclusions

The inclusion of health apps into German standard care could improve the quality of treatment by expanding treatment portfolios. The educational elements of the apps might additionally lead to more patient emancipation through a better understanding of personal conditions. Location and time flexibility are the biggest advantages of the new technologies, but they also raise the most significant concerns for stakeholders because app use requires personal initiative and self-motivation. Overall, stakeholders agree that the Digital Healthcare Act has the potential to remove dust from the German health care system.
Social Media are Addictive and Influence Behavior: Should They be Regulated as a Digital Therapeutic? (Preprint)
Authors: Perakslis Eric , Quintana Yuri
Published: October 2022

UNSTRUCTURED

Recently we were deeply saddened by the findings of the coroner investigating the death of 14-year-old Molly Russell [1]. Deeply saddened and angry but not surprised. Just as the gun lobby and our struggling political system have failed to enact adequate protections against mass shootings in the United States, especially at schools, social media companies continue to spawn extensive mental health and physical harm, offering little more than #thoughtsandprayers in response [2],[3]. This case should be seen as a sentinel event, given that this is the first time social media was directly implicated as a cause of death. We should use this opportunity to advance proposals for the regulations of the health effects of social media.
Actual Use Behavior Assessment of a Novel Puff Recording Electronic Nicotine Delivery System: An Observation Study (Preprint)
Authors: Gao Xiang , Humberstone Liam , Liu Yatao
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND

Given the high prevalence of e-cigarette use across the globe and potential health concerns, it is important to conduct e-cigarette actual use behavior assessments to better understand how these products are being consumed in real-world conditions. However, there is a lack of noninvasive, non-interventional, and convenient instruments for the real-time and real-world use behavior monitoring during e-cigarette usage. Novel technology-based systems that do not primarily rely on self-report or intrusive laboratory measurements to monitor e-cigarette use behaviors are highly desired.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to investigate real-world actual use behaviors of e-cigarette with data collected from a novel puff recording electronic nicotine delivery system (PR-ENDS).

METHODS

In real-world conditions, 61 UK e-cigarette users enrolled during a product trial were instructed to use PR-ENDS as the primary source of nicotine with their selected e-liquids for at least three weeks (21 days). A baseline survey was conducted to collect information about participants’ demographics and nicotine use history (cigarette and ENDS). The puff data (i.e., puff number, puff duration for each puff, device power, e-liquid nicotine concentrations, etc.) was directly recorded by PR-ENDS and uploaded to the cloud. The nicotine emission and nicotine consumption were estimated based on recorded puff data.

RESULTS

Middle-aged adults with a nicotine history represented the major user profile during PR-ENDS trial. A wide range of device power and e-liquid nicotine concentration was applied and their combinations during actual use were found to be rather complex. Various puff parameters (i.e., puff duration, puff number, nicotine emission, etc.) were assessed with contributing factors from device, e-liquid, and user nicotine history in different effect sizes. The real-time observation revealed significant intra- and inter-individual variabilities in PR-ENDS use behaviors. A use pattern of quick adaptation followed by consistent product use was recognized for at least 3 weeks during actual use.

CONCLUSIONS

The actual use behavior assessment of PR-ENDS was conducted as a proof-of-concept application. The complex interactions of product attributes and significant intra- and inter-individual variabilities in e-cigarette use behaviors provided new insights of compensatory behaviour, which can inspire future studies in the field of nicotine addiction and abuse liability behavior assessment.
Las oraciones de complemento en K'iche'
Authors:   CIMSUR - UNAM, Can Pixabaj Telma Angelina
Published: October 2022

Este estudio muestra que sintéticamente hay tres tipos de oraciones de complemento en k'iche': complementos finitos con complementante, complementos finitos sin complementante y complementos no finitos. Los complementos finitos con complementante son oraciones completas que pueden tener todos los elementos de una oración independiente. Los complementos finitos sin complementante tienen una estructura oracional menos elaborada, no permiten negación ni tópico. Los complementos no finitos tienen una estructura más reducida que los finitos; además, carecen de marcas de sujeto y tiempo/aspecto/modo. Estos rasgos los asemejan más a las frases nominales y menos a las verbales.

The medium-high and high technological intensity sectors in Mexico and Brazil: a structural decomposition analysis between 2000-2014
Authors: Alves-Passoni Patieene
Published: October 2022

We develop a structural decomposition analysis (SDA) to identify the importance of mid-high and high technological intensity (MH&HT) manufacturing and services to the changes in gross output for Brazil and Mexico between 2000 and 2014. We break down the output changes in the composition and level of final demand, the production technique (technical coefficients), and the trade pattern (share of imports in the total supply of inputs and final goods). The results show that the MH&HT importance tends to be pro-cyclical in the two economies, increasing during periods of more remarkable economic growth (2000-2008 for Brazil and 2010-2014 for Mexico). This relation tends to be perceived for manufacturing and less so for services.
Los límites de la política monetaria: de la trampa de la liquidez al zero lower bound
Authors: Duarte Rivera César
Published: October 2022

El presente artículo analiza los límites de la política monetaria desde una perspectiva teórica. Parte de la teoría de Keynes presentada en la Teoría general en la que se resalta la idea de la trampa de liquidez, pero también se reconocen otros límites que enfrentan las autoridades monetarias, siendo fundamentales el análisis de la incertidumbre y las expectativas. Ello se contrapone al concepto del zero lower bound (ZLB), que se utiliza para señalar los límites actuales de la política monetaria. Concluye en que la falta de reconocimiento actual de las expectativas impide que la política monetaria supere los límites que enfrenta, rescatando el importante papel que juega la política fiscal como alternativa para influir en el ciclo económico.

Published: October 2022

The spoilage of muskmelons was rapid due to early maturity of the fruits after immediate harvest before consumption. To minimise the postharvest losses, especially in horticultural crops, food processing and value addition to the produce plays lot of role and the losses can be minimised. Keeping in view, the experiment was planned to prepare muskmelon fruit juice fortified with four different species of lactic acid bacteria viz., Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum MTCC 9511, Lactobacillus acidophilus MTCC 10307, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis and Lactobacillus casei MTCC 1423. The survivability of lactobacilli and physicochemical parameters were studied during fermentation of the fruit juice. Drop in pH levels from initial pH was recorded in all muskmelon fruit juice samples incubated at two different temperatures (30°C and 37°C) more than 72 hours. But titratable acidity was increased in all muskmelon fruit juice samples incubated at two different temperatures (30°C and 37°C). The fruit juice containing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum MTCC 9511 (T4) recorded lower pH levels and maximum titratable acidity, total phenolic content and more viable cells compared to other species of lactobacilli. Sensory evaluation was conducted randomly for all the samples and no significant difference was observed.

Published: October 2022

In developing countries due to lack of sanitary practices, poor socioeconomic conditions and huge population burden, intestinal parasitic infections continue to be a major public health problem. The present study was done to determine the prevalence of Intestinal parasitic infections (IPI) among patients attending our tertiary care rural hospital. The study was conducted for a duration of 3 years at R L Jalappa Hospital and Research Centre, Kolar. Retrospective data of samples sent for stool microscopy were collected from laboratory records and were analyzed. During the study period, 62 out of 892 patients were screened positive for intestinal parasitic infections. The most common parasite observed was Entamoeba histolytica (5.3%) followed by Hookworm (1.2%), Ascaris lumbricoides (0.4%), Strongyloides stercoralis (0.1%), and Taenia species (0.1%). Findings of our study show that intestinal parasitic infections continue to be a burden, hence regular screening is essential to know the common parasites causing infections. Improved sanitation, safe drinking water practices, and health education are essential for prevention.
