description:
People view AI as possessing expertise across various fields, but the perceived quality of AI-generated moral expertise remains uncertain. Recent work suggests that large language models (LLMs) perform well on tasks designed to assess moral alignment, reflecting moral judgments with relatively high accuracy. As LLMs are increasingly employed in decision-making roles, there is a growing expectation for them to offer not just aligned judgments but also demonstrate sound moral reasoning. Here, we advance work on the Moral Turing Test and find that Americans rate ethical advice from GPT-4o as slightly more moral, trustworthy, thoughtful, and correct than that of the popular New York Times advice column, The Ethicist. Participants perceived GPT models as surpassing both a representative sample of Americans and a renowned ethicist in delivering moral justifications and advice, suggesting that people may increasingly view LLM outputs as viable sources of moral expertise. This work suggests that people might see LLMs as valuable complements to human expertise in moral guidance and decision-making. It also underscores the importance of carefully programming ethical guidelines in LLMs, considering their potential to influence users’ moral reasoning.

description: Traditionally, the way one evaluates the performance of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system is via a comparison to human performance in specific tasks, treating humans as a reference for high-level cognition. However, these comparisons leave out important features of human intelligence: the capability to transfer knowledge and make complex decisions based on emotional and rational reasoning. These decisions are influenced by current inferences as well as prior experiences, making the decision process strongly subjective and apparently biased. In this context, a definition of compositional intelligence is necessary to incorporate these features in future AI tests. Here, a concrete implementation of this will be suggested, using recent developments in quantum cognition, natural language and compositional meaning of sentences, thanks to categorical compositional models of meaning.

description: A simple model of harmonic vibrations in topologically disordered systems, such as glasses and supercooled liquids, is studied analytically by extending Euclidean Random Matrix Theory to include vector vibrations. Rather generally, it is found that i) the dynamic structure factor shows sound-like Brillouin peaks whose longitudinal/transverse character can only be distinguished for small transferred momentum, p, ii) the model presents a mechanical instability transition at small densities, for which scaling laws are analytically predicted and confirmed numerically, iii) the Brillouin peaks persist deep into the unstable phase, the phase transition being noticeable mostly in their linewidth, iv) the Brillouin linewidth scales like p square in the stable phase, and like p in the unstable one. The analytical results are checked numerically for a simple potential. The main features of glassy vibrations previously deduced from scalar ERMT are not substantially altered by these new results.

description:
Background: Millions of people in the United States live near Superfund sites and may be exposed to hazardous chemicals from those sites. However, there is limited research on chemicals present at sites and the demographics of nearby communities. We aimed to identify subgroups of Superfund sites with similar contaminant profiles and evaluate whether sociodemographic characteristics vary by type of site. Methods: We used US Environmental Protection Agency Superfund data to identify sites active in the year 2000. Census tract centroids located within 3 miles of every Superfund site were identified and a weighted average of census tract-level sociodemographics using the 2000 US Census was calculated. Superfund sites with similar contaminant profiles were identified using latent class analysis. We compared the median sociodemographic characteristics, overall and by contaminant latent class, with those of the overall 2000 US Census. Results: We identified seven latent classes based on 12 contaminant categories from 1332 Superfund sites active in 2000. Overall, there were few differences in sociodemographics observed by the presence of any Superfund site compared with the overall US Census. After stratifying by contaminant profile, we observed evidence of disparities for two classes of sites, defined by (1) high diversity of chemical exposure and lumber industry and (2) batteries and metals, which were more likely to have higher hazard scores and to be near communities with higher proportions of non-White individuals, lower socioeconomic status, and higher social vulnerability. Conclusion: Disadvantaged communities, with higher social vulnerability, were more likely to be near certain Superfund sites with higher hazard scores.

description:
OBJECTIVE: To assess the utility of using discrete primary care electronic health record (EHR) data to identify social risk referrals in a national network of community-based clinics. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY SETTING: Primary data were abstracted from the OCHIN network EHR (June 2016 to February 2022) of 1459 community-based clinics across the United States. STUDY DESIGN: Structured data elements included 913 commonly used smartphrases and 53 procedure codes that were considered potential indicators of social risk referrals. Using stratified purposive sampling, we compared these discrete data with clinical notes to assess concordance of social risk referral documentation, and of the prevalence, types, and outcomes of such referrals. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION METHODS: Smartphrases were classified into three categories (likely, possible, or unlikely to indicate a social risk referral); 50 chart notes were sampled for each of the 25 most frequently used smartphrases in each category, and for 53 of the most frequently used procedure codes. A total of 6104 chart notes were reviewed. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: In 59% of chart notes where discrete data suggested a social risk referral occurred, there was no documentation of this in the note. Primary domains addressed were food insecurity (38%), financial stress (18%) and housing needs (18%). Common referral activities included providing contact information (26%), help with assistance applications (17%), and direct provision of resources (16%). Documentation indicated the patient received resources in 29% of notes. CONCLUSIONS: EHR documentation of social risk referrals in structured data fields is inconsistent. Further work should establish best practices, especially given emerging policies that tie payments to documentation of social risk screening and intervention provision. Community health centers may struggle to use data elements such as smartphrases and procedure codes to monitor and report on their social risk referrals until standardized coding practices are established and effectively implemented.

description: We consider, in five dimensions, the effective action from heterotic string which includes quantum gravity corrections up to (a')^2. The expansion, in the string frame, is in terms of |a'R|, where R is the scalar curvature and uses the third order Euler density, next to the Gauss-Bonnet term. For a positive tension brane and infinite extra dimension, the logarithmic class of solutions is less dependent from fine-tuning problems than in previous formulations. More importantly, the model suggests that in the full non-perturbative formulation, the string scale can be much lower than the effective Planck mass, without the string coupling to be vanishingly small. Also a less severe fine-tuning of the brane tension in needed.

 Collecting data. Ecuador: Pichincha Province, Estación Experimental Santo Domingo, La Concordia, 20–VI–2006, R.W. Flowers, M. Martínez, M. Navarrete. The habitat comprised plantations of rubber, soybean and palms. Adults (Fig. 14) feed on both fruits and the newly emerged rachis of young palms, but larvae were found exclusively on the fruits (L. Maldonado, pers. comm.) and did significant damage (Fig. 15–16). The larva and pupa are free-living, slug-like in shape and light tan in color.
 Host plant. Arecaceae: Elaeis guineensis Jacq. (Aslam 1965). This is the first record of a cassidine feeding on fruits. Oil palm has been cultivated in Ecuador since 1953, and studied by INIAP since the 1960’s (L. Maldonado, pers. comm.). Damage by D. elaeicola causes a 2% reduction in oil extracted from palm fruits, according to some palm oil extractors (Ortega et al. 2006), and a 5-year study is planned to examine the agricultural problem posed by this cassidine species.
 Seasonality. This species is present year around but is more numerous at the beginning of the rainy season (December) (A. Romero, pers. comm.).

description: Hippocampus segmentation on magnetic resonance imaging is of key importance for the diagnosis, treatment decision and investigation of neuropsychiatric disorders. Automatic segmentation is an active research field, with many recent models using deep learning. Most current state-of-the art hippocampus segmentation methods train their methods on healthy or Alzheimer's disease patients from public datasets. This raises the question whether these methods are capable of recognizing the hippocampus on a different domain, that of epilepsy patients with hippocampus resection. In this paper we present a state-of-the-art, open source, ready-to-use, deep learning based hippocampus segmentation method. It uses an extended 2D multi-orientation approach, with automatic pre-processing and orientation alignment. The methodology was developed and validated using HarP, a public Alzheimer's disease hippocampus segmentation dataset. We test this methodology alongside other recent deep learning methods, in two domains: The HarP test set and an in-house epilepsy dataset, containing hippocampus resections, named HCUnicamp. We show that our method, while trained only in HarP, surpasses others from the literature in both the HarP test set and HCUnicamp in Dice. Additionally, Results from training and testing in HCUnicamp volumes are also reported separately, alongside comparisons between training and testing in epilepsy and Alzheimer's data and vice versa. Although current state-of-the-art methods, including our own, achieve upwards of 0.9 Dice in HarP, all tested methods, including our own, produced false positives in HCUnicamp resection regions, showing that there is still room for improvement for hippocampus segmentation methods when resection is involved.

Pattern Recognition for Complex Heterogeneous Time-Series Data: An Analysis of Microbial Community Dynamics
Creators: name: Vidanaarachchi, Rajith
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: Microbial life is the most wide-spread and the most abundant life form on earth. They exist in complex and diverse communities in environments from the deep ocean trenches to Himalayan snowfields. Microbial life is essential for other forms of life as well. Scientific studies of microbial activity include diverse communities such as plant root microbiome, insect gut microbiome and human skin microbiome. In the human body alone, the number of microbial life forms supersedes the number of human body cells. Hence it is essential to understand microbial community dynamics. With the advent of 16S rRNA sequencing, we have access to a plethora of data on the microbiome, warrantying a shift from in-vitro analysis to in-silico analysis. This thesis focuses on challenges in analysing microbial community dynamics through complex, heterogeneous and temporal data. Firstly, we look at the mathematical modelling of microbial community dynamics and inference of microbial interaction networks by analysing longitudinal sequencing data. We look at the problem with the aims of minimising the assumptions involved and improving the accuracy of the inferred interaction networks. Secondly, we explore the temporally dynamic nature of microbial interaction networks. We look at the fallacies of static microbial interaction networks and approaches suitable for modelling temporally dynamic microbial interaction networks. Thirdly, we study multiple temporal microbial datasets from similar environments to understand macro and micro patterns apparent in these communities. We explore the individuality and conformity of microbial communities through visualisation techniques. Finally, we explore the possibility and challenges in representing heterogeneous microbial temporal activity in unique signatures. In summary, in this work, we have explored various aspects of complex, heterogeneous and time-series data through microbial temporal abundance datasets and have enhanced the knowledge about these complex and diverse communities through a pattern recognition approach.

description: We have performed spectroscopy measurements on two coupled flux qubits. The qubits are coupled inductively, which results in a $σ_1^zσ_2^z$ interaction. By applying microwave radiation, we observe resonances due to transitions from the ground state to the first two excited states. From the position of these resonances as a function of the magnetic field applied we observe the coupling of the qubits. The coupling strength agrees well with calculations of the mutual inductance.

description: Local-susceptibility measurements via the NMR shifts of $^{31}$P and $^{51}$V nuclei in the high-pressure phase of (VO)$_{2}$P$_{2}$O$_{7}$ confirmed the existence of a unique alternating antiferromagnetic chain with a zero-field spin gap of 34 K. The $^{31}$P nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate scales with the uniform spin susceptibility below about 15 K which shows that the temperature dependence of both the static and dynamical spin susceptibilities becomes identical at temperatures not far below the spin-gap energy.

description: We review two analytical approaches in Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT) based on a perturbation theory expansion over the electron hopping to and from the self consistent environment. In the first approach the effective single impurity Anderson model (SIAM) is formulated in terms of the auxiliary Fermi-fields and the projection (irreducible Green's function) technique is used for its solution. A system of the DMFT equations is obtained that includes as simple specific cases a number of known approximations (Hubbard-III, AA, MAA, ...). The second approach is based on the diagrammatic technique (Wick's theorem) for Hubbard operators that allows to construct a thermodynamically consistent theory when SIAM exactly splits into four components (subspaces): two Fermi liquid and two non-Fermi liquid. The results for the density of states, concentration dependences of the band energies, chemical potential and magnetic order parameters are presented for different self-consistent approximations (AA, strong coupling Hartree--Fock and further).

description: We collect new and archival optical observations of nine "black-widow" millisecond pulsar binaries. New measurements include direct imaging with the Keck, Gemini-S, MDM, and LCO 2~m telescopes. This is supplemented by synthesized colors from Keck long-slit spectra. Four black-widow optical companions are presented here for the first time. Together these data provide multicolor photometry covering a large fraction of the orbital phase. We fit these light curves with a direct (photon) heating model using a version of the ICARUS light-curve modeling code. The fits provide distance and fill-factor estimates, inclinations, and heating powers. We compare the heating powers with the observed GeV luminosities, noting that the ratio is sensitive to pulsar distance and to the gamma-ray beaming. We make a specific correction for "outer-gap" model beams, but even then some sources are substantially discrepant, suggesting imperfect beaming corrections and/or errors in the fit distance. The fits prefer large metal abundance for half of the targets, a reasonable result for these wind-stripped secondaries. The companion radii indicate substantial Roche-lobe filling, $f_c \approx 0.7-1$ except for PSR J0952$-$0607, which with $f_c< 0.5$ has a companion density $ρ\approx 10\,{\rm g\,cm^{-3}}$, suggesting unusual evolution. We note that the direct-heating fits imply large heating powers and rather small inclinations, and we speculate that unmodeled effects can introduce such bias.

description: Various screening tools, ranging in complexity, have been developed to predict large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke in the prehospital setting. Our objective was to determine whether newly-developed LVO stroke scales offer a clinically-meaningful advantage over the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale (CPSS). We retrospectively analyzed prehospital patient care records linked with hospital data from 151 EMS agencies in the United States, between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018. We compared the CPSS to the Rapid Arterial Occlusion Evaluation (RACE), Los Angeles Motor Scale (LAMS), and the Vision, Aphasia, Neglect (VAN) assessment for LVO prediction. For each stroke scale, we used the intersection of sensitivity and specificity curves to determine optimal prediction cut-points. We used area under the ROC curve and 95% confidence intervals to assess for differences in discriminative ability between scales. We identified 13,596 prehospital records with one or more documented stroke scales of interest. Among these, 4,228 patients were diagnosed with stroke. Over half (57%, n = 2,415) of patients diagnosed with stroke experienced an acute ischemic stroke. Of patients with ischemic stroke, 26% (n = 628) were diagnosed with LVO. A CPSS score of 2 or higher demonstrated sensitivity = 69% and specificity = 78% for LVO. A RACE score of 4 or higher demonstrated sensitivity = 63%, specificity = 73%. A LAMS score of 3 or higher demonstrated sensitivity = 63%, specificity = 72% and a positive VAN score demonstrated sensitivity = 86%, specificity = 65%. Comparing the area under the ROC curve for each scale revealed no statistically significant differences in discriminative ability for LVO stroke. In this large sample of real-world prehospital patient encounters, the CPSS demonstrated similar predictive performance characteristics compared to the RACE, LAMS, and VAN for detecting LVO stroke. Prior to implementing a specific screening tool, EMS agencies should evaluate ease of use and associated implementation costs. Scored 0–3, the simple, widely-used CPSS may serve as a favorable prehospital screening instrument for LVO detection with a cut-point of 2 or higher maximizing the tradeoff between sensitivity and specificity.

description:
Background: Health insurance education could mitigate financial toxicity experienced by young adult (YA) cancer survivors by increasing confidence when navigating cancer care costs. This paper describes the protocol in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test a virtual patient navigation program designed to help YA cancer survivors understand their health insurance. Methods: This is a two-arm, multi-site (Huntsman Cancer Institute, Intermountain Health) RCT wherein intervention participants receive four sessions with a patient navigator and a booklet on insurance; usual care receives the booklet. We will enroll 300 YA cancer survivors (n = 200 intervention; n = 100 usual care) diagnosed with breast, testicular, lymphoma, sarcoma, colorectal, melanoma, or thyroid cancer between the ages of 26 and 39, who have completed treatment in the past two years. All participants will complete three surveys: enrollment, 6 months, and 12 months; medical records/insurance claims data will be collected out to 18-month follow-up. The primary outcomes include improvement in health insurance literacy and financial toxicity at 6 months. Secondary outcomes include adherence to cancer surveillance guidelines at 18 months. We will also conduct cost-effectiveness and budget impact analyses. Discussion: Anticipated results from this trial could identify key information that YA cancer survivors need to improve health insurance literacy and survivorship care.

description: A scheme for characterizing entanglement using the statistical measure of correlation given by the Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) was recently suggested that has remained unexplored beyond the qubit case. Towards the application of this scheme for the high dimensional states, a key step has been taken in a very recent work by experimentally determining PCC and analytically relating it to Negativity for quantifying entanglement of the empirically produced bipartite pure state of spatially correlated photonic qutrits. Motivated by this work, we present here a comprehensive study of the efficacy of such an entanglement characterizing scheme for a range of bipartite qutrit states by considering suitable combinations of PCCs based on a limited number of measurements. For this purpose, we investigate the issue of necessary and sufficient certification together with quantification of entanglement for the two-qutrit states comprising maximally entangled state mixed with white noise and coloured noise in two different forms respectively. Further, by considering these classes of states for d=4 and 5, extension of this PCC based approach for higher dimensions d is discussed.

description: Re-Articulation: Retrieval, Renewal and Beyond: Translating a visual aesthetic within the fold of postmemory This practice-led research examines how painting facilitates the retrieval and renewal of a displaced cultural aesthetic from one context and idiom to another. In this project, the relationship between retrieval and renewal is addressed as a visual translation. Within art history and theory, the approach to painting as a visual translation is primarily considered as a metaphor. This approach can be traced back to Charles Baudelaire, who suggested that a visual translation was reliant on the skill, vision, ability and temperament of the artist. This research is set in relation to the impact of the Armenian Genocide 1914-1918, and to my receiving a gift of a catalogue of Armenian manuscript paintings from the 13th and 14th centuries. This context brings together a complex set of interrelated issues that include denial, loss and fragmentation. Set in relation to these issues and contextual framework, visual translation as a metaphor presents as a point of departure in this investigation. Drawing on the images contained within the catalogue and taking into account Marianne Hirsch's concept of postmemory, this research re-examines the relationship between painting and translation. This re-examination takes the form of a series of investigations that involve a critique of the materials, methodologies and formal elements, such as line, structure and colour, that facilitate the process of retrieval and renewal. Through this research, my intention is to create a body of paintings that facilitates the rearticulation of a displaced cultural aesthetic into this current space and time, and that also contributes to broadening our approach regarding what a visual translation entails.

Searching for Young Exoplanets with High Contrast Imaging in an Effort to Constrain Models of Planet Formation
Creators: name: Wallace, Alexander

description: Planets are expected to form by accreting material from a protoplanetary disc, with gas giant planets forming at large orbital radii where the gas is sufficiently cool. However, questions still remain regarding the dominant formation model of typical giant planets. These questions can be addressed by observing planets in the process of formation. Due to the wide separations, this is best observed through direct imaging but this presents many challenges. In this project, I bring theory and observations together to determine how likely we are to detect accreting planets and how we might constrain formation models. I analysed data taken with the near infrared camera (NIRC2) on Keck-II in 2015-16 of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC). This region is one of the closest star-forming regions to Earth and is a prime target for exoplanet searches. Although my analysis didn't detect any new substellar companions, I was able to place improved limits on NIRC2's sensitivity and place an upper limit on the frequency of giant planets in the TMC. I found that no more than 20% of stars in the TMC host a planet greater than 2MJ at separations beyond 70AU for a given assumption of planet occurrence rates. In a more theoretical project, I investigated the current models of giant planet formation by core accretion to determine the expected brightness of accreting and young planets. Combining this with a suitable distribution of exoplanets and instrumental detection limits, I found that current instruments are insufficient to detect accreting planets, but future interferometers show great promise. I also investigated the possible future detection and characterisation of exoplanets in nearby young moving groups combining direct imaging with Gaia astrometry. Using a model for planet magnitude as a function of initial entropy and mass, I investigated how well the initial entropy can be constrained by current and future instruments. I determined that the E-ELT and future interferometry with VLTI should be able to distinguish between different formation models.

description: This thesis develops and evaluates effective techniques for visualisation of flows (e.g. of people, trade, knowledge) between places on geographic maps. This geographically-embedded flow data contains information about geographic locations, and flows from origin locations to destination locations. We explored the design space of OD flow visualisation in both 2D and immersive environments. We do so by creating novel OD flow visualisations in both environments, and then conducting controlled user studies to evaluate different designs.

Topological spin transport of photons: the optical Magnus Effect and Berry Phase

description: The paper develops a modified geometrical optics (GO) of smoothly inhomogeneous isotropic medium, which takes into account two topological phenomena: Berry phase and the optical Magnus effect. By using the analogy between a quasi-classical motion of a quantum particle with a spin and GO of an electromagnetic wave in smoothly inhomogeneous media, we have introduced the standard gauge potential associated with the degeneracy in the wave momentum space. This potential corresponds to the Dirac-monopole-like field (Berry curvature), which causes the topological spin (polarization) transport of photons. The deviations of waves of right-hand and left-hand helicity occur in the opposite directions and orthogonally to the principal direction of motion. This produces a spin current directed across the principal motion. The situation is similar to the anomalous Hall effect for electrons. In addition, a simple scheme of the experiment allowing one to observe the topological spin splitting of photons has been suggested.

Defining public attitudes and understanding of human gene therapy in Australia

description: Since the mid-1900s, breakthroughs in the accuracy and efficiency of gene altering technologies have rapidly advanced the field of human gene therapy (HGT). HGT as a treatment modifies specific genes to eliminate common illnesses and improve the quality of life of many individuals, previously not thought possible. However, HGT does not come without risk. Medical risks range from an ineffective treatment to one that could either disable or kill the patient. There are also ethical and moral issues pertaining to informed consent and the effect of these modifications on future generations. With the advent of HGT, the implications are now extremely broad, ranging from personal to societal. The complexity of this technology is such that its mere existence brings into play complex ethical questions that are often reflected in public discourse. In order to answer key ethical and risk-assessment questions, representative data on public beliefs, attitudes and opinions towards HGT and gene editing is required. This is the first Australian study that provides a snapshot of Australian's attitudes of HGT and their willingness to accept the wide variety of procedural applications and implications of this technology. To achieve this goal, two surveys using different collection methods were published. The first was a national online survey which used chain-sampling via major social media platforms in 2017, with 553 completed responses returned. The second survey was based on a mail-out of households in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) in 2019, this received 170 completed responses. A central finding of this study was a general positivity in Australians' acceptance towards all human gene-editing applications, with a strong preference towards procedures to treat a severe medical condition, as opposed to procedures for personal enhancement or prevention of potential adverse conditions. This acceptability diminished with declining severity of the medical condition. In each case, enhancement and prevention procedures were viewed as less acceptable than therapeutic applications. Demographic associations were also identified in both surveys, with females in both surveys significantly less likely to find HGT acceptable across all Likert questions. Using two different sampling methods also allowed for a comparative assessment of the survey population demographic profile and response rates received using each data collection strategy. Little difference was observed between the two demographic profiles and response rates. These results build on and reflect findings of similar national and international public opinion studies and provide a more complete picture of current Australian sentiment.

description: We evaluate the localization length of the wave solution of a random potential characterized by an arbitrary autocorrelation function. We go beyond the Born approximation to evaluate the localization length using a non-linear approximation and calculate all the correlators needed for the localization length expression. We compare our results with numerical results for the special case, where the autocorrelation decays quadratically with distance. We look at disorder ranging from weak to strong disorder, which shows excellent agreement. For the numerical simulation, we introduce a generic method to obtain a random potential with an arbitrary autocorrelation function. The correlated potential is obtained in terms of the convolution between a Wiener stochastic potential and a function of the correlation.
