Georgia judge blocks six-week abortion ban
Creators: name: Cadenasso, Robert

Subjects: classificationCode: 48
subject: Law and legal studies

description: On Tuesday, November 15, Judge Robert McBurney blocked Georgia’s six-week abortion ban, finding that it violated legal precedent when it was passed in 2019, under Roe v. Wade.[1] The law took effect only after Roe was overturned and denied women the right to abortions after a heartbeat was detected. This measure blatantly violates the precedent set in Roe, which allowed for abortion until viability. The law had exceptions for cases of rape and incest, contingent on the filing of a police report.[2] It also allowed for abortions if the pregnancy would threaten the woman’s life or if the fetus became unviable due to a medical condition. In his decision, Judge McBurney stated that the ban “did not become the law of Georgia when it was enacted and it is not the law of Georgia now.”[3] He leaves open the possibility of it eventually becoming law again if a new bill is passed by the state legislature now that Roe has been overturned as he did not rule on whether the law violated the Georgia Constitution and the right to privacy. He acknowledges that any legislative measures to restore the ban would occur “… in the sharp glare of public attention that will undoubtedly and properly attend such an important and consequential debate whether the rights of unborn children justify such a restriction on women’s right to bodily autonomy and privacy.” [4]
This is a debate that is occurring throughout the country as fallout from the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson, with the midterm elections providing voters a voice in the abortion question.[5] Montana voters rejected a measure that would have put increased restrictions on abortion, specifically criminalizing healthcare providers who perform abortions. Kentucky voters voted down a measure that would have added abortion restrictions to the state constitution.[6] Michigan, Vermont, and California voters approved amendments protecting abortion rights, reproductive rights, and bodily autonomy rights in their respective state constitutions.[7] The deprivation of the right to an abortion resonated strongly with the American people as evidenced by this overwhelming support of bodily autonomy and the right to choose.

description: The properties of van der Waals heterostructures are drastically altered by a tunable moiré superlattice arising from periodically varying atomic alignment between the layers. Exciton diffusion represents an important chan- nel of energy transport in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). While early studies performed on TMD hetero- bilayers suggested that carriers and excitons exhibit long diffusion, a rich variety of scenarios can exist. In a moiré crystal with a large supercell and deep potential, interlayer excitons may be completely localized. As the moiré period reduces at a larger twist angle, excitons can tunnel between supercells and diffuse over a longer lifetime. The diffusion should be the longest in commensurate heterostructures where the moiré superlattice is completely absent. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the rich phenomena of interlayer exciton diffusion in WSe2/MoSe2 heterostructures by comparing several samples prepared with chemical vapor deposition and mechanical stack- ing with accurately controlled twist angles.

description: We show how to obtain linear combinations of polynomials in an orthogonal sequence $\{P_n\}_{n\geq 0}$, such as $Q_{n,k}(x)=\sum\limits_{i=0}^k a_{n,i}P_{n-i}(x)$, $a_{n,0}a_{n,k}\neq0$, that characterize quasi-orthogonal polynomials of order $k\le n-1$. The polynomials in the sequence $\{Q_{n,k}\}_{n\geq 0}$ are obtained from $P_{n}$, by making use of parameter shifts. We use an algorithmic approach to find these linear combinations for each family applicable and these equations are used to prove quasi-orthogonality of order $k$. We also determine the location of the extreme zeros of the quasi-orthogonal polynomials with respect to the end points of the interval of orthogonality of the sequence $\{P_n\}_{n\geq 0}$, where possible.

Harvey Weinstein Refuses to Testify in Los Angeles Trial

Subjects: classificationCode: 48
subject: Law and legal studies

description: Introduction:
In 2020, Harvey Weinstein was convicted of third-degree rape and received 23 years in jail in a New York City trial [1]. Since then, he has been charged with five charges of sexual assault involving four women and two counts of forcible rape in Los Angeles. He has entered a not-guilty plea to all seven accusations. There have been over 50 witnesses testifying against the former film producer [2]. Through the emotional testimonies of the women, Weinstein refuses to speak at this and chooses to take the Fifth Amendment. There have been over 90 women accusing him of sexual misconduct [3].
Taking the Fifth:
With Weinstein deciding to take the fifth and stay silent, his lawyers will have to wrap up this case, having the fate of the once famous Hollywood star in the hands of the jury. Weinstein’s decision to take the fifth and remain silent forces his attorneys to end the case, leaving the jury’s decision on the fate of the once-famous Hollywood star. He also took the fifth to stay silent during his NY trial, with the only time of speaking out costing him his career and life, landing him in prison [4]. He is expected to receive a longer prison term because he exercised his right to remain silent throughout his Los Angeles trial, which made him appear more guilty and created the impression that he was trying to hide more.
Fate of Weinstein:
According to Los Angeles County prosecutors, Mr. Weinstein was a “titan of Hollywood” who preyed on weak women who thought he could give them a big break in the business [3]. There is no doubt that Weinstein sexually assaulted these females because numerous witnesses have come forward. Therefore, the only remaining uncertainty is how the court will handle this material and reach its verdict. The verdict is tricky to predict, but hopefully, all these women will be able to share their stories with other survivors, and Weinstein will receive the proper punishment from the LA prosecution.

description: Учитывая масштабы выполненных океанографических и экологических исследований Арктических морей и объем уже существующих отдельных разрозненных данных, очевидно, что комплексное ГИС картографирование Арктических экосистем само по себе уже является задачей весьма трудоемкой как по технике выполнения, так и по фундаментальности постановки. С другой стороны, необходимость комплексного анализа морских акваторий осложняется также выбором объекта исследования: мониторинг акваторий представляет собой задачу гораздо более сложную, чем территорий и наземных геосистем, требуя исследования сложного гидрологического режима, гидроклиматических и гидрохимических особенностей, только при наличии которых возможно изучение морского бассейна как единой гидродинамической экосистемы]. В связи с этим, важным вспомогательным средством при комплексном природоохранном мониторинге морей служит региональное ранжирование, основные принципы которого представлены в настоящей работе.

description: In this talk we discuss the process e^+e^-\to t\bar t near threshold, calculated with NNLO accuracy as well as top quark mass definitions adequate for the threshold. As new definition we suggest the PS-bar mass which allows to calculate recoil corrections to the static PS mass. Using this result we calculate the cross section of e^+e^-\to t\bar t near threshold at NNLO accuracy adopting three alternative approaches, namely (1) fixing the pole mass, (2) fixing the PS mass, and (3) fixing the new mass which we call the PS-bar mass. We demonstrate that perturbative predictions for the cross section become much more stable if we use the PS or the PS-bar mass for the calculations. A careful analysis suggests that the top quark mass can be extracted from a threshold scan at NLC with an accuracy of about 100 MeV.

description: Most previous works on opinion modeling lack the simultaneous study of individual mental activity and group behavior. This paper is motivated to propose an agent-based online opinion formation model based on attitude change theory, group behavior theory and evolutionary game theory in the perspective of sociology and psychology. In this model, there are three factors influencing the persuasion process, including credibility of the leaders, characteristic of the recipient, and group environment. The proposed model is applied to Twitter to analyze the influence of topic type, parameter changing, and opinion leaders on opinion formation. Experimental results show that the opinion evolution of controversial topic shows greater uncertainty and sustainability. The ratio of benefit to cost has a significant impact on opinion formation and a moderate ratio will result in the longest relaxation time or most unified global opinions. Furthermore, celebrities with a large number of followers are more capable of influencing public opinion than experts. This paper enriches the researches on opinion formation modeling, and the results provide managerial insights for business on public relations and market prediction.

Illinois Biometric Privacy Act Trial Awards Plaintiffs $228 Million

Subjects: classificationCode: 48

description: In the first of what is likely to be many class action lawsuit decisions surrounding the collection of biometric information by businesses in Illinois, a jury in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois recently found BNSF Railway Co. in violation of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) [1]. BIPA establishes regulations for collecting biometric identifiers, most notably requiring informed consent [1]. Richard Rogers, an employee at BNSF, filed suit in 2019 on behalf of more than 45,000 truck drivers, alleging that BNSF required biometric identifiers for employees to access buildings without prior informed consent, in violation of BIPA. In response, BNSF argued that the biometrics were collected by a third-party contractor, Remprex, LLC.
The court denied BNSF’s motion to dismiss on the grounds that Remprex was the proper party to sue, suggesting that BNSF was involved, if indirectly [1]. In October 2022, after a five-day trial and one hour of deliberation, the jury found BNSF violated BIPA. Under the provisions of BIPA, an intentional violation requires that BNSF pay $5,000, resulting in total damages of $228 million. However, a separate case, Cothron v. White Castle, Inc., will determine whether each violation will count toward damages calculations.
White Castle argues that only the first violation should be penalized, while Cothron, a former employee, argues that each should count [2]. A decision in this case could cause the damages in Rogers v. BNSF to be lowered. Lena Kent, the spokesperson for BNSF, said in response that “the decision reflects a misunderstanding of key issues” [3]. Nevertheless, this outcome suggests that other upcoming cases may be resolved similarly. The short deliberation and the jury’s emphasis that the violations were reckless or intentional should serve as a warning for other companies accused of violating BIPA [4].

description: Similarity measures play a fundamental role in memory-based nearest neighbors approaches. They recommend items to a user based on the similarity of either items or users in a neighborhood. In this paper we argue that, although it keeps a leading importance in computing recommendations, similarity between users or items should be paired with a value of dissimilarity (computed not just as the complement of the similarity one). We formally modeled and injected this notion in some of the most used similarity measures and evaluated our approach showing its effectiveness in terms of accuracy results.

Conformal Points and Duality of Non-Abelian Thirring Models and Interacting WZNW Models

description: We show that the strong coupling phase of the non-Abelian Thirring model is dual to the weak-coupling phase of a system of two WZNW models coupled to each other through a current-current interaction. This latter system is integrable and is related to a perturbed conformal field theory which, in the large $|k|$ limit, has a nontrivial zero of the perturbation-parameter beta-function. The non-Abelian Thirring model reduces to a free fermion theory plus a topological field theory at this critical point, which should therefore be identified with the isoscalar Dashen-Frishman conformal point. The relationship with the Gross-Neveu model is discussed.

description: Spectral clustering is a celebrated algorithm that partitions objects based on pairwise similarity information. While this approach has been successfully applied to a variety of domains, it comes with limitations. The reason is that there are many other applications in which only \emph{multi}-way similarity measures are available. This motivates us to explore the multi-way measurement setting. In this work, we develop two algorithms intended for such setting: Hypergraph Spectral Clustering (HSC) and Hypergraph Spectral Clustering with Local Refinement (HSCLR). Our main contribution lies in performance analysis of the poly-time algorithms under a random hypergraph model, which we name the weighted stochastic block model, in which objects and multi-way measures are modeled as nodes and weights of hyperedges, respectively. Denoting by $n$ the number of nodes, our analysis reveals the following: (1) HSC outputs a partition which is better than a random guess if the sum of edge weights (to be explained later) is $Ω(n)$; (2) HSC outputs a partition which coincides with the hidden partition except for a vanishing fraction of nodes if the sum of edge weights is $ω(n)$; and (3) HSCLR exactly recovers the hidden partition if the sum of edge weights is on the order of $n \log n$. Our results improve upon the state of the arts recently established under the model and they firstly settle the order-wise optimal results for the binary edge weight case. Moreover, we show that our results lead to efficient sketching algorithms for subspace clustering, a computer vision application. Lastly, we show that HSCLR achieves the information-theoretic limits for a special yet practically relevant model, thereby showing no computational barrier for the case.

The present data favour equal components of \bar uu+ \bar dd and of gg in the wave functions of the low-mass (below 1 GeV) scalar mesons, which make the wide σand the narrow f_0(980) as η'-like particles, which can have strong couplings to meson pairs through OZI violations. A coherent picture of the other I=0 scalar mesons spectra within this mixing scheme is shortly discussed. We also expect the a_0(980) to be the lowest isovector \bar ud state, and the K^*_0(1430) its \bar ds partner.

Modernizing use of regression models in physics education research: a review of hierarchical linear modeling

description: Physics education researchers (PER) often analyze student data with single-level regression models (e.g., linear and logistic regression). However, education datasets can have hierarchical structures, such as students nested within courses, that single-level models fail to account for. The improper use of single-level models to analyze hierarchical datasets can lead to biased findings. Hierarchical models (a.k.a., multi-level models) account for this hierarchical nested structure in the data. In this publication, we outline the theoretical differences between how single-level and multi-level models handle hierarchical datasets. We then present analysis of a dataset from 112 introductory physics courses using both multiple linear regression and hierarchical linear modeling to illustrate the potential impact of using an inappropriate analytical method on PER findings and implications. Research can leverage multi-institutional datasets to improve the field's understanding of how to support student success in physics. There is no post hoc fix, however, if researchers use inappropriate single-level models to analyze multi-level datasets. To continue developing reliable and generalizable knowledge, PER should use hierarchical models when analyzing hierarchical datasets. The supplemental materials include a sample dataset, R code to model the building and analysis presented in the paper, and an HTML output from the R code.

Immigrant Agency Restricts Detainee Access to Lawyers

subject: Law and legal studies

description: Immigrants in detention centers are now facing greater difficulty accessing fair legal representation. Since deportation is classified as a civil rather than a criminal sanction, immigrants facing removal are not afforded the constitutional protections under the Sixth Amendment that are provided to criminal defendants[1]. Very few immigrants can afford an attorney and most immigrants face deportation proceedings by themselves without any legal representation. Recently, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have made it nearly impossible for detainees to be able to reach out and talk to lawyers to take on these cases. Many detainees have difficulty finding representation due to their restricted access to communication with lawyers. Yet, in many of these cases, the government appoints a qualified immigration lawyer to argue for deportation. A lack of appointed counsel for people in detention centers means detainees face a much larger risk of deportation. ICE does not provide the necessary resources and meeting spaces for detainees to confidentially meet with their lawyers. Without proper communication and confidentiality, detainees will not be represented properly. Detainees with lawyers are ten times more likely to win cases than those without representation. There is unequal access to immigrant representation, specifically in Florida, Texas, Arizona, and Louisiana. Within the six-year period, 2007-2012, 56 percent of detainees sat in prisons, jails, or detention centers awaiting a decision from the immigrant judge without lawyer access or representation[2]. While ICE has not completely banned lawyers from talking to their clients, they have instilled complicated barriers. When lawyers are allowed in detention centers, they are prohibited from using laptops, printers, cell phones, and virtually any form of communication that would facilitate the lawyer’s job in representing their client. A complaint has been filed by five major non-profit organizations that help immigrants in legal battles[3]. These five organizations, represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, have accused ICE of obstructing the detainee’s rights to legal process and well as having violated their constitutional right to free speech. The non-profits have brought forth a recent lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security in hopes of removing some of these barriers so lawyers and clients can communicate freely and confidentially.

When lawyers are allowed in detention centers, they are prohibited from using laptops, printers, cell phones, and virtually any form of communication that would facilitate the lawyer’s job in representing their client.
A complaint has been filed by five major non-profit organizations that help immigrants in legal battles[3]. These five organizations, represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, have accused ICE of obstructing the detainee’s rights to legal process and well as having violated their constitutional right to free speech. The non-profits have brought forth a recent lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security in hopes of removing some of these barriers so lawyers and clients can communicate freely and confidentially.

description: Income inequality represents a critical societal challenge worldwide, as the gap between the rich and poor continues to expand each year and this troubling trend is particularly noticeable in many developed countries, including European countries. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of inflation on income inequality across 17 European countries over the period 2004 to 2020. In addition to inflation, the paper included five control variables in the analysis with inlation rate: GDP per capita, unemployment rate, trade openness, and foreign direct investments. Utilizing a robust dataset sourced from the World Bank, this paper employs a dual-methodological approach that combines literature review and panel data analysis. We constructed fixed effect models based on the Hausman test, which aligns with previous findings, and empirically established a positive relationship between the inflation rate and income inequality in Europe. By implementing panel data models, including pooled Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Fixed Effects (FE), and Random Effects (RE) estimators, the research explores how income distribution and inflation interact dynamically. The selection between FE and RE models is guided by the Hausman test, which addresses the correlation between unobserved effects and explanatory variables. Moreover, our findings indicate that the unemployment rate acts as a significant regressive force, worsening income inequality during economic downturns. Contrarily, the research has shown that rises in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) enhance economic inequality. However, trade openness and foreign direct investments do not significantly impact income inequality in these countries. Preliminary findings suggest that inflation significantly affects income inequality, with variations in impact discernible across different economic environments and policy frameworks. This study contributes to the understanding of economic disparities, offering implications for policymakers aiming to mitigate inequality through financial and economic strategies.

description: GANS are powerful generative models that are able to model the manifold of natural images. We leverage this property to perform manifold regularization by approximating the Laplacian norm using a Monte Carlo approximation that is easily computed with the GAN. When incorporated into the feature-matching GAN of Improved GAN, we achieve state-of-the-art results for GAN-based semi-supervised learning on the CIFAR-10 dataset, with a method that is significantly easier to implement than competing methods.

description: Proper symmetries act on fields while pseudo-symmetries act on both fields and coupling constants. We identify the pseudo-duality groups that act as symmetries of the equations of motion of general systems of scalar and vector fields and apply our results to $N=2,4$ and $8$ supergravity theories. We present evidence that the pseudo-duality group for both the heterotic and type II strings toroidally compactified to four dimensions is $Sp(56;\Z)\times D$, where $D$ is a certain subgroup of the diffeomorphism group of the scalar field target space. This contains the conjectured heterotic $S\times T$ or type II $U$ proper duality group as a subgroup.

description: A self-consistent relativistic Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck equation for the $N^{*}$(1440) resonance is developed based on an effective Lagrangian of baryons interacting through mesons. The equation is consistent with that of nucleon's and delta's which we derived before. Thus, we obtain a set of coupled equations for the $N$, $Δ$ and $N^{*}$(1440) distribution functions. All the $N^{*}$(1440)-relevant in-medium two-body scattering cross sections within the $N$, $Δ$ and $N^{*}$(1440) system are derived from the same effective Lagrangian in addition to the mean field and presented analytically. Medium effects on the cross sections are discussed.

description: Jacox briefly discusses: his education; his training in carpentry; his decision to pursue a career in journalism; his early interest in sports and introduction to black newspapers. Jacox traces the successes of the black press and re-imagines the present without the influence of black newspapers. He also discusses the growing problems of the black press at the time of the interview, including recurring personnel shortages, a lack of funding, increasing competition with the white press and daily papers, a loss of readership to television programs, the limits of family-run papers, common misperceptions of black papers, and a reluctance and/or inability to modernize. Still, Jacox also emphasizes the enduring successes of the black press and the continued need for ethnic newspapers.
