Microblog sentiment analysis based on deep memory network with structural attention
Authors: Zhou Lixin , Zhang Zhenyu , Zhao Laijun , Yang Pingle 
Published: November 2022

AbstractMicroblog sentiment analysis has important applications in many fields, such as social media analysis and online product reviews. However, the traditional methods may be challenging to compute the long dependencies between them and easy to lose some semantic information due to low standardization of text and emojis in microblogs. In this paper, we propose a novel deep memory network with structural self-attention, storing long-term contextual information and extracting richer text and emojis information from microblogs, which aims to improve the performance of sentiment analysis. Specifically, the model first utilizes a bidirectional long short-term memory network to extract the semantic information in the microblogs, and considers the extraction results as the memory component of the deep memory network, storing the long dependencies and free of syntactic parser, sentiment lexicon and feature engineering. Then, we consider multi-step structural self-attention operations as the generalization and output components. Furthermore, this study also employs a penalty mechanism to the loss function to promote the diversity across different hops of attention in the model. This study conducted extensive comprehensive experiments with eight baseline methods on real datasets. Results show that our model outperforms those state-of-the-art models, which validates the effectiveness of the proposed model.
A node selection algorithm with a genetic method based on PBFT in consortium blockchains
Authors: Zhang Jinyu , Yang Yumeng , Zhao Deyu , Wang Yue 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIndustry and research communities have widely studied Blockchain technology, and the consortium blockchain is currently the most used category with a wide range of applications. However, issues, such as the performance of consensus mechanisms, have become essential constraints on promoting and applying the consortium blockchain. To improve the performance of the consortium blockchain consensus, we use the practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) consensus widely used in consortium blockchains to reduce the number of consensus nodes to optimize performance. Using the PBFT consensus, we screen high-performance nodes and obtain a reliable and limited number of consensus nodes. We propose a genetic algorithm-based blockchain consensus algorithm improvement scheme, design the fitness function of blockchain nodes and the genetic algorithm to iterate out consensus node groups with excellent indicators continuously, and finally iterate the nodes participating in the consensus. This algorithm can increase the speed and efficiency of the consensus, block generation, and computation. The algorithm in this article is tested on the FISCO BCOS (i.e., a consortium blockchain platform built by the FISCO open-source working group), and controlled experiments and the experimental results illustrate the safety and practicability of the method.

Published: November 2022

AbstractThe vulnerability of the current network has become an urgent problem to be solved. The focus of network protection should be shifted from traditional network protection to the direction of effective recovery even after being attacked and damaged, and then, the concept of resilience came into being. This paper selects physical explosion attacks to establish damaged network. An improved system resilience recovery strategy is established which considers task importance and time efficiency. Aiming at the initial population is too random, easy to mature and with poor solution, this paper improves genetic algorithm by new greedy model in population initialization and head-to-head mutation operator. Simulation shows that the improved genetic algorithm is better and more stable, the improved quotient model is more effective in system resilience recovery measured by index-E proposed in this paper.

AbstractThe band structure in a kagome lattice can naturally exhibit flat band, Dirac cones, and van Hove singularity, enabling rich interplays between correlation and topology. However, the flat band is rarely detected just at the Fermi level in kagome materials, which would be crucial to realize emergent flat band physics. Here, combining angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, transport measurements and first-principles calculation, we observe a striking Fermi-level flat band in paramagnetic YCr6Ge6 as a typical signature of electronic kagome lattice. We explicitly unveil that orbital character plays an essential role to realize electronic kagome lattice in crystals with transition-metal kagome layers. We further engineer this material with magnetic rare earth elements to break the time-reversal symmetry of the Fermi-level kagome flat band. Our work establishes a Fermi-level flat band in a kagome magnet as an exciting quantum platform.
Feminism Cannot be Single Because Women are Diverse: Contributions to a Decolonial Black Feminism Stemming from the Experience of Black Women of the Colombian Pacific
Authors: Lozano Betty Ruth , Paredes Grijalva Daniela 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis article asserts that European and North American feminisms are colonial discursive elaborations that defined what it was to be a woman and a feminist. The categories of gender and patriarchy established both what the subordination of women was as well as the possibilities for their emancipation. They're colonial discourses in the sense that they have construed women of the third world, or of the global South, as “other.” The specific case examined in this article questions the Euro-US-centric feminist construction of women and Afro-descendant feminists. In resignifying the categories of analysis proposed by feminism, such as gender and patriarchy, Afro-descendant feminists assert themselves as diverse Black women who build proposals subverting the social order that oppresses them, without needing to resort to feminism's central categories. Women belonging to ethnic communities elaborate a new type of feminism constructed in relation to the community's collective actions in vindicating their rights. Finally, Black or Afro-Colombian women, based on the legacy of their maroon or runaway slave ancestors, construct feminism otherwise, challenging universalist claims by Eurocentric and Andean-centric feminism, transforming and enriching it.
Joining the fight: the Italian foreign fighters contingent of the Kurdish People's Protection Units
Authors: Corradi Edoardo 
Published: November 2022

AbstractSince the emergence of the Islamic State (ISIS) as one of the leading insurgent forces in Syria and Iraq in the 2010s, the academic literature has increasingly focused on the phenomenon of foreign fighters. Most studies have analyzed transnational insurgents joining the ISIS; however, research on non-jihadi foreign fighters remains underdeveloped. The article sheds much-needed light on the factors motivating non-jihadi fighters to join conflicts abroad. Specifically, it presents the findings of an in-depth analysis of the factors leading Italian nationals to join the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG/YPJ)1 after 2011, their military contribution on the battlefield, and their reasons for returning to Italy. The contributions of the paper are twofold. First, it enriches our general understanding of the motivations of non-jihadi foreign fighters through detailed qualitative analysis, including first-hand accounts and an analysis of fighters' biographies. Second, it offers a more complete picture of the specific factors informing the Italian experience of transnational non-jihadi fighters in recent years. The qualitative data highlight the role of non-material factors in triggering the armed mobilization of foreign fighters. The findings indicate that the Italian foreign fighters contingent within the YPG/YPJ and the SDF has been highly committed, made up mostly of young males with no military experience, and had little to no impact on the battlefield.
Occult Ecumenism: Maḥmūd Dihdār Shīrāzī's Unveiling Secrets as Exemplar of Timurid-Safavid Sunni-Shiʿi Science
Authors: Melvin-Koushki Matthew 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThat Safavid Iran was scene to a boom in the occult sciences (ʿulum-i gharība) is now beginning to be acknowledged by specialists; what has yet to be appreciated is the extent to which that boom represented a smooth and conscious continuation of Mamluk, Aqquyunlu, Ottoman and especially Timurid Sunni precedent. In particular, lettrism (ʿilm-i ḥurūf), developed by the Pythagoreanizing, imamophile New Brethren of Purity as universal imperial science, was embraced by leading Safavid thinkers and doers as a primary Sunni means of Shiʿizing Iran. This occult continuity is epitomized by the oeuvre of Maḥmūd Dihdār Shīrāzī “ʿIyānī” (fl. 1576), the most prolific Persian author on lettrism of the sixteenth century and teacher to Shaykh Bahāʾī (d. 1621) himself. His Unveiling Secrets (Kashf al-asrār)—a passionate prosimetric paean to Imam ʿAlī as cosmic principle in strictly Akbarian-Būnian terms, like Rajab al-Bursī’s (d. after 1410) work before it—is contextualized and translated here as a case in point.
A Global Health Law Trilogy: Transformational Reforms to Strengthen Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness, and Response
Authors: Meier Benjamin Mason , Habibi Roojin , Gostin Lawrence O. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis is a pivotal moment in the global governance response to pandemic threats, with crucial global health law reforms being undertaken simultaneously in the coming years: the revision of the International Health Regulations, the implementation of the GHSA Legal Preparedness Action Package, and the negotiation of a new Pandemic Treaty. Rather than looking at these reforms in isolation, it will be necessary to examine how they fit together, considering: how these reforms can complement each other to support pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response; what financing mechanisms are necessary to ensure sustainable health governance; and why vital norms of equity, social justice, and human rights must underpin this new global health system.
Utilization and Costs of Gender-Affirming Care in a Commercially Insured Transgender Population
Authors: Baker Kellan , Restar Arjee 
Published: November 2022

AbstractMany transgender people need specific medical services to affirm their gender. Gender-affirming health care services may include mental health support, hormone therapy, and reconstructive surgeries. Scant information is available about the utilization or costs of these services among transgender people, which hinders the ability of insurance regulators, health plans, and other health care organizations to plan and budget for the health care needs of this population and to ensure that transgender people can access medically necessary gender-affirming care. This study used almost three decades of commercial insurance claims from a proprietary database containing data on more than 200 million people to identify temporal trends in the provision of gender-affirming hormone therapy and surgeries and to quantify the costs of these services.
The Woman Who Cried Pain: Do Sex-Based Disparities Still Exist in the Experience and Treatment of Pain?

Published: November 2022

AbstractOver twenty years have passed since JLME published “The Girl Who Cried Pain: A Bias Against Women in the Treatment of Pain.” This article revisits the conclusions drawn in that piece and explores what we have learned in the last two decades regarding the experience of men and women who have chronic pain and whether women continue to be treated less aggressively for their pain than men.
Food Marketing to — and Research on — Children: New Directions for Regulation in the United States
Authors: Pomeranz Jennifer L. , Mozaffarian Dariush 
Published: November 2022

AbstractAs countries around the world work to restrict unhealthy food and beverage marketing to children, the U.S. remains reliant on industry-self regulation. The First Amendment’s protection for commercial speech and previous gutting of the Federal Trade Commission’s authority pose barriers to restricting food marketing to children. However, false, unfair, and deceptive acts and practices remain subject to regulation and provide an avenue to address marketing to young children, modern practices that have evaded regulation, and gaps in the food and beverage industry’s self-regulatory approach.
Expanding the Role of Bioethics in Translational Science
Authors: Rothstein Mark A. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractTranslational science attempts to accelerate and increase the significance of research progressing from bench to bedside. Support from the NIH through its institutional grant program has increased the prominence and importance of translational science. The inclusion of a broadly based bioethics component to translational science presents an opportunity for bioethics scholars to address fundamental social issues, including the effects of translational science on public health, health equity, and human flourishing. Large-scale bioethical inquiries could examine research priorities, unintended consequences of research, and access to and uptake of research discoveries.
A Double Standard? Gender Bias in Voters' Perceptions of Political Arguments
Authors: Hargrave Lotte 
Published: November 2022

AbstractDo the styles politicians use influence how voters evaluate them, and does this matter more for women than for men? Politicians regularly use anecdotal arguments, emotional appeals and aggressive attacks when communicating with voters. However, that women politicians have been branded as ‘nasty’, ‘inhuman’ and ‘unfeminine’ suggests that these strategies may come at a price for some. I report on a novel survey experiment assessing whether voters are biased in their perceptions and evaluations of politicians' communication styles. By manipulating politician gender and argument style, I assess, first, whether politicians incur backlash when violating gender-based stereotypes and, secondly, whether differential perceptions of the styles themselves explain this backlash. I find that style usage has important consequences for how voters evaluate politicians but that this is not gendered. These results have important implications, as they suggest that women politicians may not need to conform to stereotype-expected behaviours in order to receive positive voter evaluations.
Characterization of the lesser known Korean seerfishScomberomorus koreanus(Kishinouye, 1915) (Scombriformes: Scombridae) in Indian waters
Authors: Roul Subal Kumar , Jeena N. S. , Rohit Prathibha 
Published: November 2022

AbstractScomberomorus koreanuswas originally described from a single specimen from the west coast of Korea. In 1964 the species was synonymized withS. guttatusduring the systematic review of the scombroid fishes of India. Subsequently,S. koreanuswas discovered in Palk Bay in 1976, confirming its first record from India and the Indian Ocean. Since then, no such detailed taxonomic studies have been undertaken for the species along the Indian coast. Although the species is distributed in the Indo-West Pacific region and forms a commercially important fishery in part of its range,S. koreanusis poorly known and very limited taxonomic studies have been carried out in detail which usually results in misidentifications at field level. The present morpho-genetic investigation and previous molecular study by the authors confirmed the occurrence of the species in the coastal waters of both the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. The exact characteristics ofS. koreanusare detailed here, and their comparison was made here with the related speciesS. guttatusfound in the northern part of the east coast of India, based on a thorough morphological study, including the radiographs of 13 fresh specimens (334–588 mm FL), colour photographs ofS. koreanuscollected in 2019–2021 and DNA barcoding.
Why imaginary worlds? The role of self-exploration within online gaming worlds
Authors: Szolin Kim , Griffiths Mark D. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Dubourg and Baumard posited that preferences for exploration are the key to the popularity in imaginary worlds. This commentary argues that other forms of exploration may also account for the success and appeal of specific types of imaginary worlds, namely self-exploration within interactive imaginary worlds such as videogames.
Am I present in imaginary worlds? Intentions, actions, and flow in mediated experiences and fiction
Authors: Pianzola Federico , Riva Giuseppe , Kukkonen Karin , Mantovani Fabrizia 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
We support the idea of applying cultural evolution theory to the study of storytelling, and fiction in particular. However, we suggest that a more plausible link between real and imaginary worlds is the feeling of “presence” we can experience in both of them: we feel present when we are able to correctly and intuitively enact our embodied predictions.
Imaginary worlds pervade forager oral tradition
Authors: Sugiyama Michelle Scalise 
Published: November 2022

AbstractImaginary worlds recur across hunter-gatherer narrative, suggesting that they are an ancient part of human life: to understand their popularity, we must examine their origins. Hunter-gatherer fictional narratives use various devices to encode factual information. Thus, participation in these invented worlds, born of our evolved ability to engage in pretense, may provide adaptations with information inputs that scaffold their development.

Abstract
Following the report of the first COVID-19 case in Nepal on 23 January 2020, three major waves were documented between 2020 and 2021. By the end of July 2022, 986 596 cases of confirmed COVID-19 and 11 967 deaths had been reported and 70.5% of the population had received at least two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine. Prior to the pandemic, a large dengue virus (DENV) epidemic affected 68 out of 77 districts, with 17 932 cases and six deaths recorded in 2019. In contrast, the country's Epidemiology and Disease Control Division reported 530 and 540 dengue cases in the pandemic period (2020 and 2021), respectively. Furthermore, Kathmandu reported just 63 dengue cases during 2020 and 2021, significantly lower than the 1463 cases reported in 2019. Serological assay showed 3.2% positivity rates for anti-dengue immunoglobulin M antibodies during the pandemic period, contrasting with 26.9–40% prior to it. Real-time polymerase chain reaction for DENV showed a 0.5% positive rate during the COVID-19 pandemic which is far lower than the 57.0% recorded in 2019. Continuing analyses of dengue incidence and further strengthening of surveillance and collaboration at the regional and international levels are required to fully understand whether the reduction in dengue incidence/transmission were caused by movement restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Teachers’ perceived corpus literacy and their intention to integrate corpora into classroom teaching: A survey study
Authors: Ma Qing , Chiu Ming Ming , Lin Shanru , Mendoza Norman B. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractGiven the importance of corpus linguistics in language learning, there have been calls for the integration of corpus training into teacher education programmes. However, the question of what knowledge and skills the training should target remains unclear. Hence, we advance our understanding of measures and outcomes of teacher corpus training by proposing and testing a five-component theoretical framework for measuring teachers’ perceived corpus literacy (CL) and its subskills: understanding, search, analysis, and the advantages and limitations of corpora. Also, we hypothesised that teacher CL is linked to their intention to use corpora in classroom teaching. Specifically, 183 teachers and student teachers received corpus training to develop their CL and then completed a survey to measure their CL and intention to use corpora in teaching in Likert-scale items together with open-ended questions. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that a hierarchical factor structure for CL using the aforementioned five subfactors best fitted the data. Moreover, structural equation modelling indicated that CL is positively linked to the participants’ intention to integrate corpora into classroom teaching. While all five subskills are important for teachers, greater effort should be made to develop their corpus search and analysis skills, which can be viewed as the “bread and butter” of corpus training.
Brain-State Transitions, Responsibility, and Personal Identity
Authors: Rainey Stephen , Dague Karmele Olaciregui , Crisp Roger 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis article examines the emerging possibility of “brain-state transitioning,” in which one brain state is prompted through manipulating the dynamics of the active brain. The technique, still in its infancy, is intended to provide the basis for novel treatments for brain-based disorders. Although a detailed literature exists covering topics around brain-machine interfaces, where targets of brain-based activity include artificial limbs, hardware, and software, there is less concentration on the brain itself as a target for instrumental intervention. This article examines some of the science behind brain-state transitioning, before extending beyond current possibilities in order to explore philosophical and ethical questions about how transitions could be seen to impact on assessment of responsibility and personal identity. It concludes with some thoughts on how best to pursue this nascent approach while accounting for the philosophical and ethical issues.
Animal Models in Neuropsychiatry: Do the Benefits Outweigh the Moral Costs?
Authors: Figdor Carrie 
Published: November 2022

AbstractAnimal models have long been used to investigate human mental disorders, including depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. This practice is usually justified in terms of the benefits (to humans) outweighing the costs (to the animals). The author argues on utility maximization grounds that we should phase out animal models in neuropsychiatric research. The leading theories of how human minds and behavior evolved invoke sociocultural factors whose relation to nonhuman minds, societies, and behavior has not been homologized. Thus, it is not at all clear that we are gaining the epistemic or clinical benefits we want from this animal-based research.
