description: With a large number of baseline covariates, we propose a new semi-parametric modeling strategy for heterogeneous treatment effect estimation and individualized treatment selection, which are two major goals in personalized medicine. We achieve the first goal through estimating a covariate-specific treatment effect (CSTE) curve modeled as an unknown function of a weighted linear combination of all baseline covariates. The weight or the coefficient for each covariate is estimated by fitting a sparse semi-parametric logistic single-index coefficient model. The CSTE curve is estimated by a spline-backfitted kernel procedure, which enables us to further construct a simultaneous confidence band (SCB) for the CSTE curve under a desired confidence level. Based on the SCB, we find the subgroups of patients that benefit from each treatment, so that we can make individualized treatment selection. The innovations of the proposed method are three-fold. First, the proposed method can quantify variability associated with the estimated optimal individualized treatment rule with high-dimensional covariates. Second, the proposed method is very flexible to depict both local and global associations between the treatment and baseline covariates in the presence of high-dimensional covariates, and thus it enjoys flexibility while achieving dimensionality reduction. Third, the SCB achieves the nominal confidence level asymptotically, and it provides a uniform inferential tool in making individualized treatment decisions.

description: Due to the recent advancements in wearables and sensing technology, health scientists are increasingly developing mobile health (mHealth) interventions. In mHealth interventions, mobile devices are used to deliver treatment to individuals as they go about their daily lives. These treatments are generally designed to impact a near time, proximal outcome such as stress or physical activity. The mHealth intervention policies, often called just-in-time adaptive interventions, are decision rules that map an individual’s current state (e.g., individual’s past behaviors as well as current observations of time, location, social activity, stress, and urges to smoke) to a particular treatment at each of many time points. The vast majority of current mHealth interventions deploy expert-derived policies. In this article, we provide an approach for conducting inference about the performance of one or more such policies using historical data collected under a possibly different policy. Our measure of performance is the average of proximal outcomes over a long time period should the particular mHealth policy be followed. We provide an estimator as well as confidence intervals. This work is motivated by HeartSteps, an mHealth physical activity intervention. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: The topic of mental health has become relevant worldwide and also has had specific implications in Armenia. It concerns all aspects related to human life, without exception, as well as all ages of a person, considering their characteristics. The attitude towards mental health in Armenia changed dramatically in 2014 when the development and adoption of a strategy based on new ideas and principles were launched. Lamentably, these processes were accompanied by disasters at the global and local levels: the COVID pandemic, war, and security and existential problems. Given the impact of all this on children, the role of schools in maintaining and developing children’s mental health has become a priority. There are new amendments in the law for funding allocated in a school’s budget for the position of a school psychologist, thus allowing all schools to have one. The present study attempts to look at the described situation, the role of the school, and the functions of a psychologist through the eyes of children as direct beneficiaries.

description: While sample sizes in randomized clinical trials are large enough to estimate the average treatment effect well, they are often insufficient for estimation of treatment-covariate interactions critical to studying data-driven precision medicine. Observational data from real world practice may play an important role in alleviating this problem. One common approach in trials is to predict the outcome of interest with separate regression models in each treatment arm, and estimate the treatment effect based on the contrast of the predictions. Unfortunately, this simple approach may induce spurious treatment-covariate interaction in observational studies when the regression model is misspecified. Motivated by the need of modeling the number of relapses in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, where the ratio of relapse rates is a natural choice of the treatment effect, we propose to estimate the conditional average treatment effect (CATE) as the ratio of expected potential outcomes, and derive a doubly robust estimator of this CATE in a semiparametric model of treatment-covariate interactions. We also provide a validation procedure to check the quality of the estimator on an independent sample. We conduct simulations to demonstrate the finite sample performance of the proposed methods, and illustrate their advantages on real data by examining the treatment effect of dimethyl fumarate compared to teriflunomide in MS patients. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

title: Characterisation of rice grains using digital imaging techniques
Creators: name: Mark Hobson, David
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: Visual characteristics of rice grains can be quantified through image acquisition and processing. In this research image capture hardware and dedicated image processing algorithms are developed as part of a system for rice grain characterisation. A series of experimental work was undertaken to test the effectiveness of the image processing algorithms. The imaging technique is non-intrusive and non-destructive of sample grains, and can be implemented at a low cost compared to other more established techniques. In this thesis a review of techniques for the characterisation of rice grains is presented, with the main focus upon digital imaging approaches to understand the role it can play in isolation and in conjunction with other techniques. Following the review a physical rice grain image capture setup is designed, implemented and tested extensively with a range of cameras. A number of established image processing techniques are used with the custom built image capture setup to complete a novel system for the characterisation of rice grains. Extraction of features from the processed images is undertaken in order to test the features as being suitable to return descriptive characteristics of individual rice grains. In the course of these activity novel features, methodologies and feature analysis are created and implemented with wider potential applications beyond rice imaging. Results of these tests are given within this thesis. These tests take several forms in multiple sets of rice grain images, which were created, processed, and subject to different kinds of analysis to find different features. Findings show that digital imaging can return a range of valid rice characteristics which are connectable to fraud and grading issues, identification of rice types, and assisting the physical measurement of rice grain properties. The performance of the system is discussed and suggestions given for the future development of the methodology.

We asked ALIUS member and NDE expert Charlotte Martial (neuropsychologist and post-doctoral researcher at the Coma Science Group) to share her perspective about this episode. She watched it with great interest and shares her enthusiasm that popular media addresses this fascinating and growing area of research, which has not received the scientific and medical attention it deserves. She would like to raise several concerns about some statements and comments and address further points to move the debate about NDEs forward.

description: ALIUS recently invited Dr. David E. Olson and Dr. David B. Yaden to discuss whether or not the subjective effects of psychedelics are necessary for their enduring therapeutic benefit in an interactive online discussion. The aim of this discussion is to examine their most recent back-to-back publication wherein Yaden & Griffiths (2021) emphasized the subjective effects of psychedelics, such as mystical experiences, in relation to their long-lasting therapeutic effects, whereas Olson (2021) emphasized that there are certain therapeutic benefits related to the psychoplastogenic properties of these substances that are unrelated to their subjective effects. We invited the authors to clarify the fine points of their arguments and to tease out any point of disagreement between these two perspectives. What follows is an edited transcript of their discussion.

Creators: name: Taves, Ann

Publisher: name: ALIUS Bulletin
Year: 2018

description: Cognitive Sciences of Religion scholar Ann Taves is the proponent of a ground-breaking building block approach (BBA) to religious experience. According to Taves, religious experience can be disaggregated into fundamental, constitutive components. Philosopher Martin Fortier and anthropologist Maddalena Canna
explore the conceptual, anthropological and cognitive aspects of the foundations of religion, as disaggregated by Taves. In her analyses of the cognitive underpinnings of religion, Taves adopts a Predictive Coding Framework (PCF). The compatibility between PCF and BBA is discussed at the light of the debate opposing inherentist and attributionist theories of religion. Particular attention is given to the role of
paradox and non-ordinary experiences (NOE) in the emergence of belief. Finally, other fundamental components of religion are explored, such as the relation between perception (e.g. the vividness of a spiritual vision) and attribution of reality, as well as the interplay between religious processes (e.g. spiritual paths, trajectories) and events (e.g. enlightenment, epiphanies, mystical insights). Empirical examples include case studies from Tantric Buddhism, Kashmir Shivaism, Caribbean Spirit Possession, Amazonian Animism and Ayahuasca ritual.

εφαρμόστηκε στο σύστημα μεταφοράς ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας της Κρήτης.
Στην πορεία της εργασίας παρουσιάζονται συνοπτικά ιστορικά γεγονότα για την
αγορά και το σύστημα ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας. Στη συνέχεια γίνεται αναφορά στο
πρόβλημα της επέκτασης του δικτύου και στους αλγορίθμους βελτιστοποίησης που
χρησιμοποιούνται στην παρούσα εργασία. Τέλος γίνεται η παρουσίαση των δικτύων
και η εφαρμογή του προγράμματος στα πειραματικά δίκτυα της εργασίας αυτής.
Οι μέθοδοι που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν, για την λύση του προβλήματος της
επέκτασης των δικτύων μεταφοράς, είναι ο Γενετικός Αλγόριθμος και ο Αλγόριθμος
Σμήνους Σωματιδίων. Για τη μοντελοποίηση της στοχαστικής παραγωγής των Α.Π.Ε.
και της τυχαίας μελλοντικής αύξησης του φορτίου στα πειραματικά δίκτυα της
εργασίας αυτής χρησιμοποιήθηκε πιθανοτική ροή φορτίου με προσομοίωση Monte
Carlo. Αυτή εφαρμόζεται για την επίλυση προβλημάτων βελτιστοποίησης υπό
πιθανοτικούς περιορισμούς.
Το δίκτυο που εξετάστηκε και μοντελοποιήθηκε σε αυτή την εργασία είναι το
υπάρχον σύστημα μεταφοράς ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας της Κρήτης. Τα σενάρια που
εξετάστηκαν ήταν σύμφωνα με αυτά που παρουσιάστηκαν στη μελέτη ανάπτυξης
της Ρ.Α.Ε. και του Δ.Ε.Σ.Μ.Η.Ε. για διασύνδεση του δικτύου της Κρήτης με το
ηπειρωτικό σύστημα της Ελλάδος.
Ο αναπτυχθείς αλγόριθμος υλοποιήθηκε σε περιβάλλον Matlab και
χρησιμοποιήθηκε η ενσωματωμένη συνάρτηση του για το γενετικό αλγόριθμο. Ο
αλγόριθμος του σμήνους σωματιδίων προήλθε από το πακέτο Psopt Toolbox και για
την επίλυση του προβλήματος ροής φορτίου χρησιμοποιήθηκε το πακέτο MatPower.
Η σύγκριση των αποτελεσμάτων της εργασίας αυτής βοήθησε στην αξιολόγηση
των μεθόδων καθώς και στη διατύπωση ορισμένων προτάσεων για την επέκταση

description: Throughout his long career, Professor Daniel Dennett has been notable for bringing together the ideas of academic philosophy, workbench scientists, artificial intelligence pioneers, and even “cultish” intellectual figures like Julian Jaynes and J.J. Gibson. In this interview, Dennett discusses his philosophical roots, as well as his thoughts on Freud, predictive processing, psychedelics, consciousness, and ancient Athens. Dennett believes that philosophers have the ability to criticize and contribute to the science of the mind, and speaks to the virtues of cross-disciplinary glances and “hybrid vigor.” He believes that psychoactive drugs have potential scientific and therapeutic value. Experimenting with psychoactive substances, however, should be done within the proper settings, and not left to rogue agents.

proclivity (in particular the trait of absorption) within religious practice and experience.
Finally, the interview tackles the question of cognitive penetrability: can folk models of the
mind influence what kinds of mental events are likely to take place, how they unfold, and how
they are subjectively perceived?

Bezieht man Schüler/innen, Studierende und Rentner/innen mit ein, waren gut 7,9 Millionen abhängig Beschäftigte von Niedriglöhnen betroffen.

Die Zunahme der Zahl der Niedriglohnbeschäftigten seit 1995 geht fast ausschließlich auf Westdeutschland zurück.

Die Durchschnittslöhne im Niedriglohnsektor lagen im Jahr 2010 mit 6,68 € in West- und 6,52 € pro Stunde in Ostdeutschland weit unter der Niedriglohnschwelle.

Gut 4,1 Millionen Beschäftigte (12%) verdienen weniger als 7 € brutto pro Stunde und davon 1,4 Millionen sogar weniger als 5 €. Ostdeutsche, Frauen und Minijobber/innen sind von solchen Niedrigstlöhnen überproportional betroffen.

Bei Einführung eines gesetzliches Mindestlohnes von 8,50 € hätte jede/r fünfte Beschäftigte Anspruch auf eine Lohnerhöhung (gut 25% der Frauen und knapp 15% der Männer).

description: This thesis presents three pieces of work. Within the first two thirds of the thesis, we study Arens regularity of Banach algebras. We first study Arens regularity of weighted semigroup algebras that arise from totally ordered semilattices. This is a natural continuation of [24], where they focus on studying Arens regularity of the unweighted case. We provide a sufficient condition for when a weighted semigroup algebra is not strongly Arens irregular and a characterization of Arens regularity of the weighted semigroup algebra. We then focus on three specific totally ordered semilattices, $\N_\wedge$, $\N_\vee$ and $\Z_\vee$ to obtain stronger results than those obtained for a generic totally ordered semilattice. Later on, we focus on two different Banach sequence algebras, the James $p^{th}$ algebra and the Feinstein algebra. Amongst other properties, we prove that the Feinstein algebra is Arens regular, which provides a second example of an Arens regular natural Banach sequence algebra that is not an ideal in its bidual, the first one being the remarkable example obtained in [7]. We study whether $J_p$ is a BSE algebra with a BSE norm, for $1 In the final part of the thesis, we focus on Blaschke products. We study the decomposability of a finite Blaschke product $B$ of degree $2^n$ into $n$ degree-$2$ Blaschke products, examining the connections between Blaschke products, the elliptical range theorem, Poncelet theorem, and the monodromy group. We show that if the numerical range of the compression of the shift operator, $W(S_B)$, with $B$ a Blaschke product of degree $n$, is an ellipse, then $B$ can be written as a composition of lower-degree Blaschke products that correspond to a factorization of the integer $n$. We also show that a Blaschke product of degree $2^n$ with an elliptical Blaschke curve has at most $n$ distinct critical values, and we use this to examine the monodromy group associated with a regularized Blaschke product $B$. We prove that if $B$ can be decomposed into $n$ degree-$2$ Blaschke products, then the monodromy group associated with $B$ is the wreath product of $n$ cyclic groups of order $2$. Lastly, we study the group of invariants of a Blaschke product $B$ of order $2^n$ when $B$ is a composition of $n$ Blaschke products of order $2$.

description: Examine the diagnostic role of serum exosomal RAB27A mRNA in lung cancer and evaluate the relation of LncRNAs to lung cancer in association to RAB27A mRNA in Egyptian population. Exosomal RNA-based biomarkers RAB27A mRNA and Lnc-RNA-RP11-510M2.10 were selected based on bioinformatic methods, followed by RT-qPCR validation of their expression in serum of 20 patients with lung cancer, 10 patients with COPD and 10 healthy volunteers. we examined their expression in 10 bronchoalveolar lavage samples and assessed correlation with the serum levels. There was an inverse relationship between expression of serum exosomal RAB27A mRNA and Lnc-RNA-RP11-510M2.10 (r = −0.62, p = .00). Both serum exosomal RAB27A mRNA and Lnc-RNA-RP11-510M2.10 showed a significant positive and negative association with lung cancer patients respectively in comparison to patients with COPD and healthy persons (p < .001). RAB27A mRNA and Lnc-RNA-RP11-510M2.10 could be used as diagnostic and prognostic biomarker tools for lung cancer.
title: Psychedelics and Sociality : probing the diversity of cognition beyond individuals. An interview with Katrin Preller.

description: In this interview, we discuss how beyond the tremendous therapeutic opportunities offered by psychedelics, they also provide a unique opportunity to investigate social cognition in a causal way and thus increase our mechanistic understanding of it. We argue this basic research is necessary to understand the underlying mechanisms and assure their clinical efficacy. However, revealing this potential requires a great deal of education for clinicians and researchers. This includes scientific rigor both in terms of how administration of psychedelic substances is completed and how psychedelic-assisted therapy is conducted. We also argue that important synergies of recent tools (VR, hyperscanning) in lab experiments can bring more naturalistic settings and thus increase relevance for real world applications. We finally review recent results demonstrating how altered state of consciousness induced by psychedelics can result from thalamic gating deficits and alterations in information processing of internal and external stimuli within cortico-striatothalamo-cortical (CSTC) feedback loops. We finish the exchange on the most important challenges for future research, including funding, sample size, and ethics.

description: In this interview, Professor Tim Hanks discusses topics related to neuroscience, decision making, philosophy, and science as a career. Hanks explores how ideas from computational neuroscience have helped him set his own research agenda and also navigate everyday situations. The way the brain makes decisions is deeply intertwined with topics such as free will, conscious awareness, and mental health. In order to productively study such diverse topics related to decision making, Hanks recommends an integrative approach that draws on multiple types of experiments and model systems, with an eye towards clinical deployment. His approach builds on various scientific frameworks, while also reminding us to stay open-minded about what the future of neuroscience may look like or bring.

description: Is consciousness an all-or-none or graded phenomenon? Much research has been devoted to investigate this question for contents of consciousness (e.g. ‘I see a red rose’), but far less for global states of consciousness (e.g. being awake or asleep). Philosopher and experimentalist Jabob Hohwy argues that global states of consciousness do not come in degrees or ‘levels’, but rather in modes, i.e., as different ways of being conscious. Capturing the diversity of conscious states requires thus multi-dimensional modelling to identify the relevant dimensions (e.g., attention) and their variations across conscious states.

description: If the philosophical tradition of phenomenological psychopathology has been renewed these last years, the topic of hallucinations has been often neglected for the benefits of syndromes such as schizophrenia or autism. This omission has been corrected by Matthew Ratcliffe who, after studying depression in his previous work, not only opened the field of phenomenological psychology to hallucinations, but also put forward how hallucinatory experiences can enlighten the structure of human experience as being intrinsically vulnerable and interpersonal.

title: DMT in the Mammalian Brain: A Critical Appraisal
Creators: name: Nicholas, Charles D.

Publisher: name: ALIUS Bulletin
Year: 2020

description: Recently, a publication from Dean et al. reported that N,N-dimethyl tryptamine (DMT) is synthesized in the rat brain cortex, present at levels similar to other monoamine neurotransmitters, and significantly increases in concentration at death. They further promoted the theory that DMT may serve as the causative agent for “near death experiences”, which have been compared to peak psychedelic experiences. The publication certainly is interesting and suggests additional directions to explore scientifically but does not meet the bar for either claim that DMT is at functional levels in the cortex comparable to serotonin or is the “near death” neurotransmitter.

title: Βιώσιμη ενεργειακή διαχείριση σε αντλιοστάσια με αξιοποίηση ηλιακής ενέργειας
Creators: name: Λιβανιου Αργυρω
Publisher: name: Technical University of Crete
Year: 2015

description: Τα αντλιοστάσια αποτελούν σημαντικό παράγοντα στο τομέα της ηλεκτρικής
ενέργειας καθώς καταναλώνουν μεγάλες ποσότητες για την λειτουργία των
ηλεκτροκίνητων αντλιών τους. Λαμβάνοντας παράλληλα υπόψη το σύγχρονο
παγκόσμιο ενεργειακό πρόβλημα, που συνίσταται από τα μειούμενα αποθέματα
των παραδοσιακών πηγών ενέργειας, σε συνδυασμό με την παγκόσμια κλιματική
αλλαγή, θα μπορούσε να εξεταστεί ένας πιο βιώσιμος και πιο φιλικός προς το
περιβάλλον τρόπος λειτουργίας των αντλιοστασίων.

Ορμώμενοι από τα παραπάνω, αναπτύσσεται η ανάγκη να καταφύγουμε στην
αξιοποίηση των ΑΠΕ οι οποίες καταναλώνουν λιγότερη ενέργεια και είναι φιλικές
προς το περιβάλλον. Ο σκοπός της παρούσας Μεταπτυχιακής Διατριβής είναι να
εξεταστεί η βιωσιμότητα της ενσωμάτωσης της ηλιακής ενέργειας σε αντλιοστάσια
με σκοπό την εξοικονόμηση τόσο ενέργειας όσο και χρημάτων αλλά και την
συμβολή στη προστασία του περιβάλλοντος. Σε αυτή την εργασία παρουσιάζεται
μια μελέτη περίπτωσης ενός αντλιοστασίου του ΟΑΚ ΑΕ ώστε να αποδειχθεί η
ανταγωνιστικότητα της μερικής ή της πλήρους υποκατάστασης της ενέργειας από το ηλεκτρικό δίκτυο με την ηλιακή. Παράλληλα, υπολογίζεται το περιβαλλοντικό όφελος που συνδέεται με την αξιοποίηση της ηλιακής ενέργειας για την λειτουργία του αντλιοστασίου ενώ γίνεται και μια οικονομική αξιολόγηση του Φ/Β συστήματος άντλησης ώστε να βγουν συμπεράσματα για το αν μια τέτοια επένδυση είναι συμφέρουσα ή όχι για τα ενδιαφερόμενα μέρη. Τέλος, ένα άλλο γεγονός που συζητείται σε αυτή την εργασία είναι οι προοπτικές που ανοίγονται για την βιώσιμη ενεργειακή διαχείριση των αντλιοστασίων με την αξιοποίηση της ηλιακής ενέργειας μέσω της πρόσφατης νομοθετικής κατοχύρωσης του συμψηφισμού παραγόμενης-καταναλισκόμενης ενέργειας από Φ/Β.

Από τα αποτελέσματα της εργασίας αυτής προκύπτει ότι η χρήση των Φ/Β
συστημάτων ως πηγή ενέργειας για την τροφοδοσία των αντλιοστασίων είναι πολύ ελκυστική, καθώς υπάρχει μια φυσική σχέση μεταξύ της διαθεσιμότητας της
ηλιακής ενέργειας και της ζήτησης ενέργειας για άντληση νερού. Γίνεται φανερό ότι με την εγκατάστασή τους ένα μεγάλος μέρος της ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας που
απαιτείται για την λειτουργία των αντλιοστασίων μπορεί να καλυφθεί από αυτά,
ενώ μετά την αποπληρωμή του αρχικού επενδυτικού κόστους η εξοικονόμηση
χρημάτων είναι σημαντική. Τέλος, δεν μπορούμε να αγνοήσουμε το
περιβαλλοντικό όφελος από την χρήση μιας “πράσινης” τεχνολογίας όπως είναι η
Φ/Β τεχνολογία.

description: Martin Fortier has been a wonderful friend and a brilliant colleague, gone far too soon to realize his extraordinary potential despite his many precocious achievements. More than anyone, he embodied the spirit of interdisciplinarity. His passion for the scientific study of consciousness was inspiring, altering the trajectory of many researchers in our network and beyond. This text is intended to provide a faithful, up-to-date, and accurate representation of Martin's wide- ranging research by adapting in large part from Martin's own summary of his work written about a year before his passing.
