Exposure to air pollution and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)
Creators: name: Farah, Haweya

name: Sabra, Roa
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2016

description: BACKGROUND: Air pollution is known to have many grave impacts on the health of individuals; over 80% of people living in urban areas are exposed to levels of air pollutants that exceed the limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2016). Past studies have examined the association between air pollution exposure and development of gestational diabetes mellitus, but there is limited evidence of this association. OBJECTIVES: To review the literature, in order to explore existing studies that look at the association between exposure to PM2.5 or ozone and the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS: A structured literature review was conducted in the PubMed (Medline) database to investigate the research question. The keywords searched in the final strategy were "(Particulate matter OR ozone) AND gestational diabetes". Quantitative studies were included in the search, while studies with a focus on type 2 diabetes mellitus or smoking were excluded. RESULTS: The initial search strategy returned 18 results, with the final number of articles being narrowed down to 5. Only one study was able to confirm a positive association between the two variables under study. Three other studies showed an association between exposure to ozone or PM2.5 and GDM, but only under very specific conditions. The remaining study did not show an association between the variables under study. CONCLUSIONS: The literature does not show robust evidence of an association between ozone or PM2.5 and the development of GDM. Further research is needed in order to be able to draw more accurate conclusions.

description: As a guiding example, the diffraction measure of a random local mixture of the two classic Fibonacci substitutions is determined and reanalysed via self-similar measures of Hutchinson type, defined by a finite family of contractions. Our revised approach yields explicit formulas for the pure point and the absolutely continuous parts, as well as a proof for the absence of singular continuous components. This approach is then extended to the family of random noble means substitutions and, as an example with an underlying 2-adic structure, to a locally randomised version of the period doubling chain. As a first step towards a more general approach, we interpret our findings in terms of a disintegration over the Kronecker factor, which is the maximal equicontinuous factor of a covering model set.

Far-Red Absorbing Rhodopsins, Insights From Heterodimeric Rhodopsin-Cyclases

subject: 570 Biologie

description: The recently discovered Rhodopsin-cyclases from Chytridiomycota fungi show completely unexpected properties for microbial rhodopsins. These photoreceptors function exclusively as heterodimers, with the two subunits that have very different retinal chromophores. Among them is the bimodal photoswitchable Neorhodopsin (NeoR), which exhibits a near-infrared absorbing, highly fluorescent state. These are features that have never been described for any retinal photoreceptor. Here these properties are discussed in the context of color-tuning approaches of retinal chromophores, which have been extensively studied since the discovery of the first microbial rhodopsin, bacteriorhodopsin, in 1971 (Oesterhelt et al., Nature New Biology, 1971, 233 (39), 149–152). Further a brief review about the concept of heterodimerization is given, which is widely present in class III cyclases but is unknown for rhodopsins. NIR-sensitive retinal chromophores have greatly expanded our understanding of the spectral range of natural retinal photoreceptors and provide a novel perspective for the development of optogenetic tools.
Unsupervised Modeling of Object Categories Using Link Analysis Techniques

description: We propose an approach for learning visual models of object categories in an unsupervised manner in which we first build a large-scale complex network which captures the interactions of all unit visual features across the entire training set and we infer information, such as which fea- tures are in which categories, directly from the graph by using link analysis techniques. The link analysis techniques are based on well-established graphmining techniques used in diverse applications such as WWW, bioinformatics, and social networks. The techniques operate directly on the pat- terns of connections between features in the graph rather than on statistical properties, e.g., from clustering in feature space. We argue that the resulting techniques are simpler, and we show that they perform similarly or better compared to state of the art techniques on common data sets. We also show results on more challenging data sets than those that have been used in prior work on unsupervised modeling.

description: Germline gene editing represents one of the most controversial and fascinating frontiers of current scientific research. Until recently, the very few experiments carried out in this field hadn’t pursued a reproductive goal, as the scientific community agreed on the fact that the technique is still in its infancy, and thus any clinical application would have been unethical and premature. However, the announcement made last November by Chinese researcher Jiankui He at the Second International Summit on Human Genome Editing in Hong Kong – stating that he would have helped making the world’s first genome-edited babies – seems to have turned germline gene editing from a speculative reality into a practical and concrete one. The aim of the present work is to identify and analyze the main ethical, scientific and legal issues raised by this experiment, which triggered great criticism both in the scientific community and in the public. This analysis will be preceded by a brief description of the case, as well as by the examination of the main supranational and international regulations and an overview of the experiments conducted so far in the field under discussion. This will lead to a few conclusive critical remarks on some debated aspects of Jiankui He’s case and on some possible, future perspectives related to the use of germline gene editing techniques for therapeutic purposes.

description: The lack of research that effectively addresses inequity within Canadian society is an indicator of the failure of mainstream research approaches and practices to engage with all populations. This paper describes the development of a collaborative framework defined by a First Nations, Inuit and Métis women’s community members and its research partners as ethical, useful and relevant. There were two essential phases in negotiating a collaborative framework for a community- research partnership and the steps in a community-based participatory approach described: 1) establish guiding features of a collaborative framework by forming an advisory group, developing ethical guidance, agreeing upon underlying theoretical concepts for the research study; and 2) engage in research actions that support co-creation of knowledge throughout study processes. The case study example used to illustrate the collaborative framework was conducted by and with a First Nations, Inuit and Métis women’s community and research partners to culturally adapt a health decision-making strategy. A community-based participatory research approach fostered engagement among community and research participants and directed community-research collaboration. The collaborative framework structured ongoing negotiations within the community-research partnership to ensure that ethical obligations to research participants and the broader community were met and goals of the study achieved.

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper proposes a probabilistic approach for unsupervised modeling and recognition of object categories which combines two types of complementary visual evidence, visual contents and inter-connected links between the images. By doing so, our approach not only increases modeling and recognition performance but also provides possible solutions to several problems including modeling of geometric information, computational complexity, and the inherent ambiguity of visual words. Our approach can be incorporated in any generative models, but here we consider two popular models, pLSA and LDA. Experimental results show that the topic models updated by adding link analysis terms significantly improve the standard pLSA and LDA models. Furthermore, we presented competitive performances on unsupervised modeling, ranking of training images, classification of unseen images, and localization tasks with MSRC and PASCAL2005 datasets.

Unsupervised Learning for Graph Matching

description: Graph matching is an important problem in computer vision. It is used in 2D and 3D object matching and recognition. Despite its importance, there is little literature on learning the parameters that control the graph matching problem, even though learning is important for improving the matching rate, as shown by this and other work. In this paper we show for the first time how to perform parameter learning in an unsupervised fashion, that is when no correct correspondences between graphs are given during training. We show empirically that unsupervised learning is comparable in efficiency and quality with the supervised one, while avoiding the tedious manual labeling of ground truth correspondences. We also verify experimentally that this learning method can improve the performance of several state-of-the art graph matching algorithms.
Co-Clustering via Information-Theoretic Markov Aggregation

description: We present an information-theoretic cost function for co-clustering, i.e., for simultaneous clustering of two sets based on similarities between their elements. By constructing a simple random walk on the corresponding bipartite graph, our cost function is derived from a recently proposed generalized framework for information-theoretic Markov chain aggregation. The goal of our cost function is to minimize relevant information loss, hence it connects to the information bottleneck formalism. Moreover, via the connection to Markov aggregation, our cost function is not ad hoc, but inherits its justification from the operational qualities associated with the corresponding Markov aggregation problem. We furthermore show that, for appropriate parameter settings, our cost function is identical to well-known approaches from the literature, such as Information-Theoretic Co-Clustering of Dhillon et al. Hence, understanding the influence of this parameter admits a deeper understanding of the relationship between previously proposed information-theoretic cost functions. We highlight some strengths and weaknesses of the cost function for different parameters. We also illustrate the performance of our cost function, optimized with a simple sequential heuristic, on several synthetic and real-world data sets, including the Newsgroup20 and the MovieLens100k data sets.

description: After examining the peculiar aspects that characterize the legal regulation of the digital society, the contribution deals with the pervasive impact of technologies on human rights. In the light of the possibilities allowed by technological evolution, the so-called ICT freedom today assumes a broad meaning as the right to the development of one’s own digital existence, which allows and conditions the exercise of individual and social rights. This meta-right, an umbrella under which to give hospitality to the rights invested by technological development, requires protection based on the centrality of the person, on the quality of the data, on the technology and on the responsibility of the subjects, also envisaging new forms of collective protection. The protection of the right to digital existence can find an appropriate landing in an Internet Bill of Rights of supranational level, suitable to dictate common rules and to balance the interests involved.

Policy Lessons and Indigenous Governance: Providing a Basis for a Successful Salmon Reintroduction Framework in the Upper Columbia River
Creators: name: Dufort, Alexandra
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2023

description: Since the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River in the mid 1900s, the passage of anadromous salmon to the Upper Columbia River Basin has been completely hindered. Studies have determined that there remains viable habitat for these species of salmon in the Upper Columbia which could support natural reproduction. The Columbia River Salmon Reintroduction Initiative (CRSRI), an Indigenous-led program, is now working to reintroduce these salmon to their historic habitat for the betterment of the ecosystem and cultural and economic well-being of the local Indigenous communities that once depended on them. A provincial policy – the British Columbia Wild Salmon Policy, and a Canadian law – the federal Species at Risk Act – are examined to assess their potential use to a governance system for reintroduced salmon of the Upper Columbia River Basin. Indigenous rights and land claims also provide support for First Nation’s constitutional rights to manage resources on their traditional territory. In this paper, I argue that First Nations led governance is a must in this reintroduction scenario; First Nations are well placed to lead a management program that equally takes into account Indigenous knowledge, western science, and community input. Necessary considerations for this governance framework are also outlined, citing explicitly defined long-term goals and management plans (such as distribution and abundance objectives, extent of commitment to management, and criteria to determine when salmon have been fully re-established), the consideration of potential consequences (potential implications with protection status of other species, political consequences, etc.), and iterative processes as main focus points. Key recommendations include establishing an advisory board made up of Indigenous groups, researchers, and stakeholders to implement a community-based program that works collaboratively with federal and provincial governments and programs as well as NGOs to implement the necessary biological, socioeconomic, organizational, managerial, and political strategies. Key Terms: Upper Columbia River Basin, salmon reintroduction, First Nations led governance

Je vous serais obligé si vous vouliez bien faire savoir au supérieur de ces pères qu’il y a ici une personne qui voudrait leur remettre une aumône fort honnête, qu’un pieux ecclésiastique a laissée après sa mort pour cette bonne œuvre, mais comme les personnes qui l’ont en main et qui veulent la livrer ne connaissent pas les formalités usitées pour le remettre à ces pères, ni le droit qu’ils ont de la recevoir, ayez la bonté, Monsieur, de les prier de les leur faire connaître. Dès qu’ils auront cette information, ils seront charmés d’exécuter la volonté de la personne qui l’a faite et ils pourront ensuite charger quelqu’un ici de recevoir l’argent si mieux ils n’aimaient qu’on leur fit compter à Montpellier conformémemnt aux informations qu’on aura.
Je me flatte, Monsieur, que vous voudrez bien prendre cette peine et me procurer les informations que je souhaite. J’ai l’honneur d’être,

Unsupervised Discovery of Mid-Level Discriminative Patches

description: The goal of this paper is to discover a set of discriminative patches which can serve as a fully unsupervised mid-level visual representation. The desired patches need to satisfy two requirements: 1) to be representative, they need to occur frequently enough in the visual world; 2) to be discriminative, they need to be different enough from the rest of the visual world. The patches could correspond to parts, objects, “visual phrases”, etc. but are not restricted to be any one of them. We pose this as an unsupervised discriminative clustering problem on a huge dataset of image patches. We use an iterative procedure which alternates between clustering and training discriminative classifiers, while applying careful cross-validation at each step to prevent overfitting. The paper experimentally demonstrates the effectiveness of discriminative patches as an unsupervised mid-level visual representation, suggesting that it could be used in place of visual words for many tasks. Furthermore, discriminative patches can also be used in a supervised regime, such as scene classification, where they demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on the MIT Indoor-67 dataset.

description: 2015 was a tough year for the Canadian economy. After the collapse of oil prices and the Canadian dollar in 2014, the country slipped into a brief recession in the first half of 2015. Faced with the grim economic scenario outlined above, provincial governments took a variety of measures to trim expenses and increase revenues , and this restraint had an impact on the cultural sector. But, at the same time, many provinces and territories also began to seek ways to diversity their economies to boost tax revenues and create jobs. A growing number turned to the cultural and tourism sectors as possible engines of growth and as drivers of a new type of creative economy.

description: We combine the formalisms of Floquet theory and full counting statistics with a Markovian embedding strategy to access the dynamics and thermodynamics of a periodically driven thermal machine beyond the conventional Born-Markov approximation. The working medium is a two-level system and we drive the tunneling as well as the coupling to one bath with the same period. We identify four different operating regimes of our machine which include a heat engine and a refrigerator. As the coupling strength with one bath is increased, the refrigerator regime disappears, the heat engine regime narrows and their efficiency and coefficient of performance decrease. Furthermore, our model can reproduce the setup of laser cooling of trapped ions in a specific parameter limit.

description: In this paper, we investigate the use of overhead high-resolution three-dimensional (3-D) data for enhancing the performances of an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) in vegetated terrains. Data were collected using an airborne laser and provided prior to the robot mission. Through extensive and exhaustive field testing, we demonstrate the significance of such data in two areas: robot localization and global path planning. Absolute localization is achieved by registering 3-D local ground ladar data with the global 3-D aerial data. The same data is used to compute traversability maps that are used by the path planner. Vegetation is filtered both in the ground data and in the aerial data in order to recover the load bearing surface.

description: The Document is the result of a disciplinary discussion that the Authors – legal scholars and professionals with long-standing experience in the related topics – decided to open on the main legal end-of life issues raised by Order no. 207/2018 of the Italian Constitutional Court, which declared the absolute ban on assisted suicide unconstitutional under certain conditions and called upon the Parliament to regulate the subject. Starting from the “personalist” and “pluralist” principles, as well as from the principles of equality and self-determination enshrined in the Italian Constitution, the Document offers a “constitutionally oriented” and scientific grounded understanding of the wider concept of “medical assistance to die”. The Document therefore includes some operational proposals on a huge number of tricky issues, such as the prerequisites and conditions to have access to assisted dying, the healthcare professionals involved, the role of the National Healthcare Service, a clear and well-structured procedure, the regulation of conscientious objection, as well as on issues concerning the source of law to be chosen, the related financial coverage, and the relationships and coordination with other legal rules, including the codes of professional ethics.

Subjects: AI governance; security; accountably; fairness; ethical design

description: As technologies become more and more pervasive in our everyday life new questions arise, for example, about security, accountability, fairness and ethics. These concerns are about all the realities that are involved or committed in designing, implementing, deploying and using the technology. This document addresses such concerns by presenting a set of practical obligations and recommendations for the development of applications and systems based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. These are derived from a definition of rights resulting from principles and ethical values rooted in the foundational charters of our social organization.

Risk as a ‘Permissive Technology’: An Analysis of Canada’s “Robust” Arms Export Risk Assessment Process
Creators: name: O'Neill, Katelyn
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2023

description: The disparity between the actions of the global arms trade and reporting of international human rights groups is well established. In 2018, when the Government of Canada launched a review of all existing arms export permits to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and placed a moratorium on the issuance of new export permits it seemed as if Canada was headed towards a more meaningful consideration of human rights in its arms trading. However, in 2020, when the findings of the review were published, the moratorium lifted, and a reaffirmation of the LAV deal was confirmed, it was clear that this was not the case. This analysis argues that a “permissive technology” embedded into Canada’s arms export risk assessment process enabled the findings of the review that facilitated a resumption of arms transfers to KSA and produced a disparity between related United Nations reporting.

Subjects: Artificial Intelligence; fundamental rights; disruptive technologies; regulation; governance

description: The research aims at exploring the main legal issues triggered by the implementation of Artificial Intelligence systems, with a view to identifying possible solutions for regulators and lawmakers at national and supranational level. The study moves from a comprehensive overview covering the existing soft law instruments, the core areas captured in academic speculation and the latest developments in case law. It then separately addresses selected sensitive issues that should be on public and private policymakers’ agenda, most notably: the governance of AI; the impact of AI systems on public law; the relationship between AI systems and private and criminal law as well as procedural law. For each of these areas, the research analyzes how the rise of AI systems calls into question well established legal categories and which remedies lawmakers and regulators should take into account to reconcile the need to foster technological developments and that of protecting fundamental rights.

Uniform Coverage of Simple Surfaces Embedded in R3 for Auto-Body Painting

description: We develop a procedure for automated trajectory generation for robotic spray painting applications. Painting requires that the spray gun deposit paint at each point on the target surface such that the variation of the resultant paint deposition is within acceptable limits; we term this the uniform coverage problem. To understand the key issues in the uniform coverage problem, we consider surface patches that are geodesically convex and topologically simple to represent realistic automotive surfaces. Our goal is to understand the relationship between the spray gun trajectory and the following output characteristics: deposition uniformity, cycle time, and paint waste. Our planning approach decomposes the coverage trajectory generation problem into three subproblems: selection of the start curve, selection of the speed profiles along each pass, and selection of the spacing between the passes. Using concepts such as area magnification, the Gauss-Bonnet theorem from differential geometry, and standard optimization procedures, we present procedures to solve each subproblem independently of the others. Finally, we demonstrate our trajectory planning procedures in simulation as well as experimentally on simple surfaces that approximate real automobile surfaces.

Decentralization of Ethereum's Builder Market

description: Blockchains protect an ecosystem worth more than $500bn with strong security properties derived from the principle of decentralization. Is today's blockchain decentralized? In this paper, we empirically studied one of the least decentralized parts of Ethereum, its builder market.
 The builder market was introduced to fairly distribute Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) among validators and avoid validator centralization. As of the time of writing, two builders produced more than 85% of blocks in Ethereum, creating a concerning centralization factor. However, a common belief is that such centralization "is okay," arguing that builder centralization will not lead to validator centralization. In this empirical study, we quantify the significant proposer losses within the centralized builder market and challenge the belief that this is acceptable.
 The significant proposer losses, if left uncontrolled, could undermine the goal of PBS. Moreover, MEV mitigation solutions slated for adoption are affected too because they rely on the builder market as an "MEV oracle," which is made inaccurate by centralization. Our investigation reveals the incentive issue within the current MEV supply chain and its implications for builder centralization and proposer losses. Finally, we analyze why the proposed mitigation cannot work and highlight two properties essential for effective solutions.

description: In this work, we present a method for single-view reasoning about 3D surfaces and their relationships. We propose the use of midlevel constraints for 3D scene understanding in the form of convex and concave edges and introduce a generic framework capable of incorporating these and other constraints. Our method takes a variety of cues and uses them to infer a consistent interpretation of the scene. We demonstrate improvements over the state-of-the art and produce interpretations of the scene that link large planar surfaces.

description: A new form Time Crystal has been proposed and some of its consequences have been studied. The model is a generalization of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmology endowed with noncommutative geometry corrections. In the mini-superspace approach the scale factor undergoes the time periodic behavior, or Sisyphus dynamics, which allows us to interpret this Cosmological Time Crystal as a physically motivated toy model to simulate cyclic universe. Analyzing our model purely from Time Crystal perspective reveals many novelties such as a complex singularity structure (more complicated than the previously encountered swallowtail catastrophe) and a richer form of Sisyphus dynamics. In the context of cosmology, the system can serve as a toy model in which, apart from inducing a form of cyclic universe feature, it is possible to generate an arbitrarily small positive effective Cosmological Constant. We stress that the model is purely geometrical without introduction of matter degrees of freedom.
