description: Background and Objectives Corticosteroids are prescribed for refractory headache in patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) despite limited supporting evidence. We hypothesized that a short course of corticosteroids would reduce pain.Methods We reviewed all patients who received corticosteroids for refractory headache following spontaneous SAH within our institutional database. Pain was measured by a numeric rating scale (NRS) every two hours. The primary outcome was maximum daily NRS; secondary outcomes were the mean daily NRS and daily opioid consumption. Propensity scores were developed using potential predictors of corticosteroid use, including age, sex, pre-treatment 24-hour pain burden, and the number of analgesics being used to control pain. Inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to balance baseline covariate distributions between patients receiving corticosteroids and control patients. Generalized estimating equations were used to analyze longitudinal NRS and oral morphine equivalents based on the weighted cohort.Results A total of 213 patients were included; mean (SD) age was 55 (13) years, 141/213 (66%) were female. 195/213 (92%) had a low clinical grade (i.e., Hunt-Hess 1-3). Seventy patients received corticosteroids prescribed on average on post-bleed day 5 (SD 3.3) with an average of 26 (SD 10) mg of dexamethasone over 48 hours. Patients receiving corticosteroids and controls were well balanced on baseline predictors of treatment status. After IPTW, we found that corticosteroid therapy reduced daily maximum pain NRS by 0.59 (SE=0.39, p=.12), 0.96 (SE =0.42, p=.02) and 0.91 (SE=0.46, p=.048) on days 1-3, respectively, after adjusting for control effects. The mean daily pain NRS and daily opioid use were non-significantly reduced in the three days following corticosteroid initiation after adjusting for control effects.Conclusion Short term corticosteroids only slightly reduced maximum pain severity after spontaneous SAH. Other analgesic strategies are required to manage refractory pain in this population.

description: Working memory plays a key role in a person’s ability for interactions, reasoning and decision making. People who suffer from working memory deficiencies can struggle in their day to day life. In order to develop treatment options that target the regions of the brain responsible for the deficiency, functional brain networks that respond to task difficulty in working memory must be found. In this investigation, an extension to the Constrained Principal Component Analysis for fMRI (fMRI-CPCA) program was explored, to include information about the difficulty of a task before extracting relevant networks. A linear load dependence hypothesis was applied. Two working memory studies were analysed, and the functional brain networks, as well as load dependence over time, are reported. Both studies showed finer network decomposition than using task timing information alone. Specifically, the Internal Attention Network was separated out in this analysis, where previously task-merging was required to extract it. In the future, nonlinear load dependence hypotheses, as well as networks that respond to task timing but not to difficulty, should be investigated.

description: The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed how our day to day lives by implementing and evolving technology that allows data to be exchanged between interconnected devices without the need for human involvement. This paper investigates the implications of IoT expansion and development in corporate organizations, focusing on both the opportunities and challenges it brings. IoT encompasses a wide range of data kinds, from sensor readings to user interactions, across industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and retail. However, greater connection raises ethical and legal challenges, especially over data privacy, ownership, and control. Potential breaches of privacy and illegal data access by IoT devices raise ethical concerns, necessitating the implementation of comprehensive data governance structures. Compliance with data protection standards, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), is critical, but it also presents obstacles due to their complexity and substantial operating expenses. While GDPR and CCPA improve privacy protections and responsibility, their strict penalties for noncompliance may burden businesses.

description: ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule 1) and MPZ (myelin protein zero) are thought to be a factor in the integrity of nerve tissues. In this report, we attempted to trace the expression of ICAM-1, responsible for cell-to-cell adhesion, and of MPZ, the main constituent of myelin sheath, in malignant tissues of the sciatic nerve (SN) in inbred male Copenhagen rats. AT-1 Cells (anaplastic tumor 1) were injected in the perineurial sheath, and tissues of the SNs were collected after 7, 14 and 21 days and compared to a sham-operated group of rats (n = 6 each). Tissues were sectioned and histologically examined, under light microscope, and stained for measuring the immunoreactivity of ICAM-1 and MPZ under laser scanning microscope. The cancer model was established, and the tumor growth was confirmed. ICAM-1 showed severe decreases, proportional to the growing anaplastic cells, as compared to the sham group. MPZ revealed, however, a distinct defensive pattern before substantially decreasing in a comparison with sham. These results support the notion that malignancies damage peripheral nerves and cause severe axonal injury and loss of neuronal integrity, and clearly define the role of ICAM-1 and MPZ in safeguarding the nerve tissues.

Constrained Horizon Expansion Fractal (HEF) as a Mathematical Framework for Space-Time
Creators: name: Scott Monroe, Scott
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Abstract

This research presents the Quantum Constrained Horizon Expansion Fractal (HEF), which integrates a quantum-inspired energy threshold into its recursive fractal expansion. Using zero-point energy En = (1/2) hf, only fractal points satisfying the quantum escape condition En > E_escape = (hf c) / 2 continue expanding. The fractal demonstrates discrete quantum-like growth, where expansion occurs in localized bursts rather than a continuous process.

This model preserves recursive growth, introduces spatial randomness to mimic quantum uncertainty, and connects to Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) through its structured expansion constraints.

1. Introduction

The Horizon Expansion Fractal (HEF) was initially developed as a recursive fractal model tied to cosmic expansion. This modified version introduces a quantum-inspired constraint where the escape condition is determined by Planck energy principles. Unlike traditional fractals, which expand continuously, the Quantum-Constrained HEF exhibits discrete growth zones, aligning with quantum mechanics and potential space-time quantization effects.

2. Mathematical Formulation

The fractal expansion is governed by the energy threshold:

En = (1/2) h f

where h is Plancks constant, and f is a frequency term linked to cosmic evolution:

f(t) = H(t) / (2)

where H(t) is the time-dependent Hubble parameter. The quantum escape condition is:

E_escape = (h f c) / 2

A fractal node expands only if En > E_escape. This introduces quantum discreteness into the expansion model.

3. Algorithmic Implementation

The fractal's recursive expansion follows these steps:

1. Initialize a fractal grid with complex-numbered coordinates.

2. Compute the local quantum energy En = (1/2) h f at each iteration.

3. Compute the escape threshold E_escape, incorporating a dynamic scaling function.

4. Apply regional variations to introduce stochastic behavior mimicking quantum fluctuations.

5. Nodes satisfying En > E_escape continue expanding in the next recursion step.

6. Iterate recursively, preserving structured expansion patterns within quantum constraints.

The Quantum Constrained HEF is governed by:

1. Quantum energy constraint:

En = (1/2) h f

2. Escape energy threshold:

E_escape = (h f c) / 2

3. Frequency evolution linked to the Hubble parameter:

f(t) = H(t) / (2)

4. Escape scaling function to adjust probability:

S(t) = 0.2 + 0.8 * sin(0.1 t)

5. Regional variability to simulate quantum fluctuations:V(x, y) ~ N(1.0, 0.3)

6. Escape probability condition:

If En * V(x, y) > E_escape * V(x, y), then expand

7. Recursive weighting:

Iterations are weighted as (time_steps - t + 1) to maintain hierarchical expansion.

4. Results & Visualization

The quantum-constrained HEF exhibits:

- Discrete quantum-like fractal growth.

- Localized expansion zones following wavefunction-like probability distributions.

- Recursive self-organization consistent with quantum space-time discretization.

The visualization below demonstrates this behavior.

Anthropocene

description: Following the recent rejection of a formal Anthropocene series/epoch by the Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy (SQS) of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), and its subsequent confirmation by the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS), the opportunity arises to reset the definition of the Anthropocene. The case for informally recognizing the Anthropocene to be a major planetary event of Earth system transformation offers a promising way forward, but this has been criticized by proponents of an Anthropocene series/epoch. In order to move on from the assumption that it must be a time interval, and to foster a more transdisciplinary and inclusive approach, the main points of the critique must be directly addressed.

description: In the era of Smart Cities, video surveillance stands as a pivotal tool for enhancing urban security, optimizing resource management, and improving the quality of urban life. When video surveillance is seamlessly integrated with image analysis systems, raw visual data are transformed into actionable insights, significantly enhancing the capability of Smart Cities to ensure public safety and optimize urban operations. Image analysis systems mainly rely on the cloud: images are offloaded to a cloud infrastructure to be processed, analyzed and segmented for inference. The analysis of images in external systems, however, is not always recommended, due to privacy/security concerns, e.g., human action recognition. In this paper, we investigate the opportunity to adopt edge computing to implement such systems, where images are analyzed directly on-premises. To investigate the suitability of this approach, we carried out an extensive experimentation using two large-scale Fed4Fire+ testbeds, namely, Grid’5000 and Virtual Wall. Specifically, we considered different cloud-edge configurations using different inference models, and evaluated the impact of those models on performance and resource utilization. Based on these results, we provide a set of guidelines for the adoption of different models depending on the requirements of the specific application.

description: In May 2024, the scientific community observed intense solar eruptions that resulted in an extreme geomagnetic storm and auroral extension, highlighting the need to document and quantify these events. This study mainly focuses on their quantification. The source active region (AR 13664) evolved from 113 to 2761 millionths of the solar hemisphere between 4 May and 14 May 2024. AR 13664's magnetic free energy surpassed 1033 erg on 7 May 2024, triggering 12 X-class flares. Multiple interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) came out from this AR, accelerating solar energetic particles toward Earth. At least four ICMEs seemingly piled up to disturb the interplanetary space, according to the satellite data and interplanetary scintillation data. The shock arrival at 17:05 UT on 10 May 2024 significantly compressed the magnetosphere down to ? ? 5.04 RE, and triggered a deep Forbush decrease. GOES satellite data and ground-based neutron monitors confirmed a ground-level enhancement from 2 UT to 10 UT on 11 May 2024. The ICMEs induced extreme geomagnetic storms, peaking at a Dst index of ?412 nT at 2 UT on 11 May 2024, marking the sixth-largest storm since 1957. The AE and AL indices showed extreme auroral extensions that located the AE/AL stations into the polar cap. We gathered auroral records at that time and reconstructed the equatorward boundary of the visual auroral oval to 29.8° invariant latitude. We compared naked-eye and camera auroral visibility, providing critical caveats on their difference. We also confirmed global enhancements of storm-enhanced density of the ionosphere.
To Shame or to Hide? : Print Media Reporting of Sexualised Hazing in Taiwanese and Singaporean Conscript Institutions, 1990s-2000s
Creators: name: Chong, Shao Yuan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: During the 2010s, sexualised hazing was increasingly discussed in Taiwan and Singapore as investigations were launched regarding conscript deaths resulting from hazing. While this phenomenon was being reported in print media, it was often treated as a contemporary phenomenon with no historical basis. By analysing major English, Simplified, and Traditional Chinese newspapers from Singapore and Taiwan in the 1990s and 2000s, this thesis looks into how sexualised hazing was reported in the media; and when reported, whether the sexual nature of the activities were acknowledged or discussed in the context of conscript institutions. By conducting this analysis, this thesis contributes to existing literature by establishing the historical origins of sexualised hazing. My analysis reveals that in the 1990s, despite evidence of sexualised hazing in civilian society and conscript institutions, Taiwanese and Singaporean newspapers only focused on sexualised hazing taking place in civilian society and not in conscript institutions. However, by the 2000s, the Taiwanese media became more willing to report of such activities, framing them as a source of embarrassment for the military and as an important phenomenon within collective memory for Taiwanese men. In Singapore, while reports of hazing increased, they tended to focus on broader social issues, such as associated acts of illegality and bullying. Local factors such as national security concerns, the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997, the rise of the Internet era, and polarising attitudes towards the Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transsexual-Queer (LGBTQ) community in these countries also influenced divergence between the two societies.

Foi utilizada a metodologia PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). O descritor “autocontrole infantil” ou “Self-Control in Children” focado em crianças pequenas foi aplicado nas seis bases de dados e a partir dos critérios de inclusão/exclusão e elegibilidade foram selecionados 11 artigos para a análise. Na literatura disponível nos últimos cinco anos sobre o autocontrole infantil percebeu-se que o termo é citado com outros correlatos por alguns autores, como autorregulação, entre outros, no entanto, na percepção destes registros, os autores os usaram como sinônimo. Foi identificado que o autocontrole é um importante fator na redução de condutas de risco, vícios, evasão escolar e violência. Somado a isso, outro elemento destacado nos artigos foram os fatores pessoais positivos que o autocontrole provê sobre as emoções, uma vez que ajuda a manter relações positivas permitindo conter reações potencialmente agressivas, especialmente em situações mais desafiadoras. Foram apresentadas lacunas quanto à formação do autocontrole em crianças, com lacunas na literatura sobre esse tema.

description: Hand gestures are a natural and intuitive form of communication, and integrating this communication method into robotic systems presents significant potential to improve human-robot collaboration. Recent advances in motor neuroscience have focused on replicating human hand movements from synergies also known as movement primitives. Synergies, fundamental building blocks of movement, serve as a potential strategy adapted by the central nervous system to generate and control movements. Identifying how synergies contribute to movement can help in dexterous control of robotics, exoskeletons, prosthetics and extend its applications to rehabilitation. In this paper, 33 static hand gestures were recorded through a single RGB camera and identified in real-time through the MediaPipe framework as participants made various postures with their dominant hand. Assuming an open palm as initial posture, uniform joint angular velocities were obtained from all these gestures. By applying a dimensionality reduction method, kinematic synergies were obtained from these joint angular velocities. Kinematic synergies that explain 98% of variance of movements were utilized to reconstruct new hand gestures using convex optimization. Reconstructed hand gestures and selected kinematic synergies were translated onto a humanoid robot, Mitra, in real-time, as the participants demonstrated various hand gestures. The results showed that by using only few kinematic synergies it is possible to generate various hand gestures, with 95.7% accuracy. Furthermore, utilizing low-dimensional synergies in control of high dimensional end effectors holds promise to enable near-natural human-robot collaboration.

Seja ela pública ou privada, tem o dever de preparar os alunos para exercerem seus papéis como estudantes, cidadãos ativos e participantes na família, no trabalho, na vida cultural e política, pois elas (escolas públicas e privadas) estão sob a mesma legislação educacional brasileira. No que diz respeito às escolas privadas, entende-se que diversos fatores podem influenciar o processo de escolha dos progenitores e responsáveis no momento de decidir onde seus dependentes irão estudar. Nesta realidade, os métodos adotados para captação de novos alunos são importantes, mas torna-se ainda maior a necessidade de manutenção dos alunos que já  estudam na instituição, uma vez que a partir da fidelização desse público torna-se menor a necessidade de captação de novos alunos e a escola tem a oportunidade de completar seu objetivo formativo com os estudantes. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo conduzir uma revisão integrativa da literatura em busca de estudos que abordem o tema proposto, e para isso foram acessadas as bases de dados Periódicos Capes, Scielo e Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), utilizando método integrado com os seguintes descritores: Qualidade da Educação, Educação Básica, Educação Privada, Gestão de Permanência e Evasão, no período de 2014 a 2023, nos idiomas: inglês, português e espanhol. Na coleta de dados foram encontrados 237 artigos, sendo 7 utilizados para análise qualitativa. Conclui-se que os estudos na temática são diversos, especialmente no que diz respeito à preocupação com a evasão escolar e qualidade do ensino.

description: When collaborating relative to a shared 3D virtual object in mixed reality (MR), users may experience communication issues arising from differences in perspective. These issues include occlusion (e.g., one user not being able to see what the other is referring to) and inefficient spatial references (e.g., "to the left of this" may be confusing when users are positioned opposite to each other). This paper presents a novel technique for automatic perspective alignment in collaborative MR involving co-located interaction centered around a shared virtual object. To align one user's perspective on the object with a collaborator's, a local copy of the object and any other virtual elements that reference it (e.g., the collaborator's hands) are dynamically transformed. The technique does not require virtual travel and preserves face-to-face interaction. We created a prototype application to demonstrate our technique and present an evaluation methodology for related MR collaboration and perspective alignment scenarios.

description: For personal and socioeconomic development, education is a fundamental element. However, despite its relevance and importance, there is no inclusive education that allows access to the entire population. This is especially noticeable in contexts where students are at risk of exclusion. This paper presents a project that aims to reduce the technological gap in the most disadvantaged social classes by promoting the use of Augmented Reality technology. To this end, an experience with children at risk of social exclusion is presented, in which they participated in two training workshops over two weeks, organized into two groups, where one group used Augmented Reality with Tablets and the other did not. The objective of the experience was to assess the impact of using this technology on the emotional state of the students, as well as on the development of computational thinking competence. The results show that students who used Augmented Reality significantly improved their academic results in block programming compared to those who did not use it. Additionally, it was found that the emotional state of the former was generally more pleasant compared to the latter.

description: Sometimes the information provided on the 2030 Agenda is quite fragmented and dispersed and there is a lack of systematic explanation about the link between the SDGs and human rights. The lack of criteria that easily explain the content of the 2030 Agenda and the impact of human rights in the international order is one of the reasons why a visual and sound document is necessary. The problem that is detected regarding 2030 Agenda knowledge and its relationship with human rights will be a systematic and orderly absence of the meaning and scope of this Agenda and its impact on one of the critical areas: people. This innovation Project, while covering the conceptual and normative gaps that exist on the 2030 Agenda, delves into the central components that, from an innovation perspective, are necessary to study and understanding the SDGs content. There is a need for virtual and audiovisual tools that address sustainable development content and the aspects that define human rights. The main goal of this publication is letting know the results of the project carried out by four
professors, and led by Prof.  (...), within the framework of the URJC Educational Innovation Projects, 2022-23. The main result of the project was the development of an audiovisual on the 2030 Agenda and human rights that develops new teaching methodologies for learning these contents by undergraduate students.

Diversity and Inclusion through Technology in the Teaching of Antitrust Law
Creators: name: Jiménez-Gómez, Briseida Sofía
Publisher: name: Journal of Digital Media & Interaction
Year: 2024

description: Sustainable Development Goals try to foster several targets for a better planet. Universities play a key role in providing access to tertiary education. Our teaching experience focuses on two SDGs: number 4 on quality education and number 10 on reduction of inequalities with the objective to build an inclusive and effective learning environment for students within quality education. Antitrust law was selected as part of the legal course to be taught with an innovative methodology.  Our methodology consists of using the SCORM package due to the benefits it brings to the learning process and its management. Exe-Learning has been used as a tool to create the SCORM package. Social inclusion of people with some type of disability is enhanced with the content editor, contributing to the University's goal of reducing inequalities in diversity. One of the ways to eliminate disparities for the most vulnerable people, including people with disabilities, has been achieved by implementing accessibility elements, for integration of students from other cultures through a script that includes a language translator. Finally, from the material perspective of the subject, the horizontal guidelines on sustainability agreements are taught, which clarify that antitrust regulations do not hinder agreements between competitors that pursue a sustainability objective

description: In today's modern world, digital skills have become crucial and recognized as an essential tool for citizens’ personal fulfilment, employability, active citizenship, and social inclusion. To address this topic, several initiatives have arisen. This study focused on developing an audiovisual strategy to be disseminated in social media, to raise higher education students’ awareness about digital skills development.


In the first stage, the study analysed the social media platforms used by higher education students and their preferences for audiovisual content consumption. The findings revealed that students gravitate towards short, impactful videos that evoke emotions and tell compelling stories. Based on these insights, five short videos were created incorporating these elements and disseminated on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Despite some challenges, such as the absence of paid video promotion in a saturated digital landscape, the videos demonstrated a degree of effectiveness in raising awareness among academic students about the digital skills sought by the labour market.

Renegotiating the United States Military Academy’s Position in Gilded Age America
Creators: name: Rousseau, Alexander
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Scholars such as Stephen Ambrose, Theodore Crackel and Ernest Dupuy argue that The United States Military Academy at West Point (West Point) is central to nineteenth-century American history. Still, discussions in the aftermath of the American Civil War indicate a time of internal strife and pedagogic stagnation. With the rise of scientific education in America in schools such as the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale, the Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard and Columbia’s School of Mines, West Point’s military engineering program, by comparison, was less applicable for post-war economic developments which demanded a distinct knowledge of machinery and movement. An examination of the role of West Point graduates in American society, however, demonstrates that West Point’s influence in the United States as an educational institution continued to be significant after the American Civil War.
Accessing the ALPs : Reconstructing merged two-photon decays in the Belle II detector
Creators: name: Whiteaker, Kate
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: Axion-like particles (ALPs) are spin 0 bosons proposed to mediate interactions between dark matter and the Standard Model. The Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB e+e− accelerator in Japan is well-suited to search for an ALP to twophoton decay; however, a large fraction of possible two-photon ALP decays, and a large fraction of Standard Model two-photon decays, remain unresolvable in the detector due to the small opening angle between their daughter photons. This small opening angle makes the Belle II photon detector software interpret the pair of photons as a single photon: this is called a merge. This project will explore various methods of classification, including a machine learning algorithm, to enable Belle II users to manually distinguish between a single photon and two merged photons. The machine learning algorithm presented is able to distinguish the two cases to a high degree of accuracy, but even without its implementation, tools already available at Belle II that can help with this problem are identified.

description: The evolution of spatial representation in architecture has been transformed by the advent of computing. Digital platforms have enabled designers to accurately represent space in 2D and 3D dimensions, integrating visual and temporal elements. In education, physical-digital models have become effective pedagogical tools to represent and manipulate architectural spaces. In this context, it immerses students in design through technological environments, facilitating graphic exploration and mastery of digital tools. Students acquire skills to build 2D and 3D models, optimising spatial production and communication with digital systems. This work highlights the pedagogical advantages of physical-digital models in spatial education. They allow a synchronic and diachronic investigation of space, facilitating the comparison of scales and variables, and the drawing of conclusions. The methodology is structured in three blocks: CAD systems and construction of 2D objects, 3D modelling and printing, and concepts of infoarchitecture and post-production. The teaching combines theory and practice in workshops, promoting autonomous development. These models become research tools that enrich the understanding of architectural space, contributing to collective knowledge for generations to come.
