description: In this article I examine the unintentional production of ignorance following from the hegemony of the English language in international law scholarship and its impact on legal outcomes. In doing so, I am influenced by critical discourse analysis (CDA), specifically following Fairclough and Van Dijk and their focus on the relationship between language and power – specifically their focus on how language contributes to the domination of some people over others. In developing this I start with arguing that the dominance of English in the expert discourse in international law means that priority is given to certain narratives (e.g., the canon of Western philosophy) and epistemologies (of ignorance) over others. This is because the use of English appears to be symptomatic of the dominance of Western (Euro-American) legalism, and the use of English may reinforce this dominance. Illustrating these points, I use the dissenting opinion of Judge Weeramantry in the Nuclear Weapons case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and international criminal law. I conclude with some reflections on law and language more generally and propose themes for further research and offer practical suggestions for a more pluralistic knowledge production in international law.

description: The Interactive Information Dissemination System (IIDS), a unique mobile-based agro advisory system (MBAS), was put under study in the Design Science Research approach with 2820 farmers in Garo Hills of Meghalaya, India. The study aims to design and develop a user-centric MBAS (m4AgriNEI) for augmenting sustainable smallholder farming systems in hilly regions. The outcomes are critically analysed in the form of learning and experiences to make some necessary modifications to the design. The deployment of the initiative helped to make the m4AgriNEI more user-centric to satisfy the information demand of the resource-poor, smallholder tribal farming communities of the eastern Himalayas. A majority of beneficiaries (70.32%) provided positive responses on advisories through the IIDS generated feedback system. The study suggests the future scaling of MBAS initiative by adding a better knowledge management system, a robust feedback system, a way to track farmer-to-farmer (F2F) communication, and a public-private-community partnership (PPCP) approach.

description: Supply chain finance (SCF) releases participants' capital constraints and facilitates their operations. SCF and transactional contracts can have synchronised effects on participants' performance. This research analyses how credit financing and bank loans with revenue-sharing contracts can help capital-constrained suppliers and retailers improve their financial and risk management performance in the push and pull supply chains. Results suggest that SCF generates greater profits than capital-constrained supply chains without SCF and well-capitalised supply chains, demonstrating a leverage effect. In a push scenario, SCF enhances the wholesale price effect and risk-sharing effect of the revenue-sharing contract, resulting in increased order quantity and profits for participants, albeit with an amplified default risk transmission effect. Conversely, in a pull scenario, SCF boosts participant profitability by strengthening the order quantity effect of the wholesale price contract, although its risk-sharing effect is weakened by the revenue-sharing contract, thereby mitigating the default risk transmission effect. When the revenue-sharing rate is low, the push model performs better in terms of profit enhancement but exhibits higher default risk transmission levels compared to the pull model, and vice versa. The findings guide participants in leveraging SCF and revenue-sharing contracts to enhance their benefits and control the default risk transmission level.

N-K Model and Pulse of Planet Earth
Creators: name: Malik, Muhammad Usman
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Title: Planet Earth's Pulse: Predicting Natural Disasters Using the N-K Framework (8th Edition Model)

 

Description:

This research introduces a groundbreaking model—the N-K Framework—to decode Earth's rhythmic 26-second pulse, a low-frequency geophysical signal long observed but poorly understood. Based on the 8th edition of Planet Earth, the model accurately predicts this pulse using a structural parameter (N = 10⁴) and a field coupling constant (K = 1.19 × 10⁻³⁸), aligning precisely with observed ultra-low frequency waves (~0.0385 Hz). These waves influence tectonic stress, magnetospheric behavior, atmospheric dynamics, and even animal instincts.

 

A slight shift in the pulse—such as an increase of 0.001 Hz—indicates internal compression, increased earthquake risk, accelerated magnetic pole drift, and weather instability. By capturing Earth's resonance in real time, the N-K Model offers a new standard for forecasting earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and space-weather disruptions with unprecedented accuracy.

 

This work not only supports the view of Earth as a dynamic resonant system but also opens doors to integrating physical models with metaphysical understanding. It lays the foundation for a universal framework in which celestial bodies interact like a massive computer—calculating, resonating, and adapting.

 

Importance:

This model serves as a predictive tool for geophysical disasters, a method to assess planetary health, and a bridge between classical physics and a higher-order N-field cosmology. It is a major step toward integrating physics, consciousness, and metaphysics in disaster prediction and planetary science.

description: Background: From many empirical and theoretical points of view, the implementation of shared decision making (SDM) in work rehabilitation for pain due to a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) is justified but typically the SDM model applies to a one on one encounter between a healthcare provider and a patient and not to an interdisciplinary team. Objectives: To adapt and implement an SDM program adapted to the realities of work rehabilitation for pain associated with a MSD. More specific objectives are to adapt an SDM program applicable to existing rehabilitation programs, and to evaluate the extent of implementation of the SDM program in four rehabilitation centres. Method: For objective one, we will use a mixed perspective combining a theory-based development program/intervention and a user-based perspective. The users are the occupational therapists (OTs) and clinical coordinators. The strategies for developing an SDM program will include consulting the scientific literature and group consensus with clinicians-experts. A sample of convenience of eight OTs, four clinical coordinators and four psychologists all of whom have been working full-time in MSD rehabilitation for more than two years will be recruited from four collaborating rehabilitation centres. For objective two, using the same criteria as for objective one, we will first train eight OTs in SDM. Second, using a descriptive design, the extent to which the SDM program has been implemented will be assessed through observations of the SDM process. The observation data will be triangulated with the dyadic working alliance questionnaire, and findings from a final individual interview with each OT. A total of five patients per trained OT will be recruited, for a total of 40 patients. Patients will be eligible if they have a work-related disability for more than 12 weeks due to musculoskeletal pain and plan to start their work rehabilitation programs. Discussion: This study will be the first evaluation of the program and it is expected that improvements will be made prior to a broader-scale implementation. The ultimate aim is to improve the quality of decision making, patients' quality of life, and reduce the duration of their work-related disability by improving the services offered during the rehabilitation process.

This work at the Univeristy of Bologna (UNIBO) is intended as a systematic literature review and a benchmark on the main cloud-based services with environment and system specifications for code reproducibility, mostly cloud notebooks, up to March 2023.  We first screened the available tools for supported languages, costs, collaboration, set-up modes, version control allowance, PID (Persistent Identifier) attribution, licensing, accessibility, privacy, metadata, if Open Source, and long-term preservation strategy. We conducted this evaluation to identify a tool compliant with the FAIR principles (particularly those declined for Research Software from FAIR4RS) while facilitating code reproducibility. A tailored focus was on Code Ocean, a computational workbench used to associate code with scientific publications. The study highlighted that the landscape of tools facilitating computational reproducibility is varied, and it is still challenging to find a single solution presenting all the features making it both usable and adherent to the FAIR principles to ensure seamless sharing of code that is reproducible. 

 

Background information:

In the era of data-driven research, software has become an essential tool for data generation and analysis. However, it cannot just be considered instrumental: initiatives such as the Software Sustainability Institute advocate recognizing software as a research output and clearly stating how its management can benefit research, especially if shared and referenced in scientific publications.

The emphasis on improving research reproducibility, which led to the conceptualization of the FAIR principles for research data in 2016, is also becoming relevant for research software (e.g., FAIR4RS – FAIR  Principles for Research Software). 

Development strategies are already consolidated in the community, yet the discussion on methods, tools, and guidelines concerning the computational reproducibility of published results is still open. The main barriers to overcome are connected not only to software’s sharing and preservation strategies (lack of source code, also along with raw data and protocols) but also to the need to consider its specific features, e.g., executability, composite nature, and continuous evolution and versioning (by recording relevant information about versions, parameters, and runtime environments). 

Various tools, such as workflow management systems, digital protocols systems, packaging, and containerization platforms, can facilitate code sharing and reduce barriers to computational reproducibility. Some publishers endorse adopting some of these tools to improve peer reviewing of research code.

description: This paper addresses the ‘Digital Divide' concerning disparities in adopting information and communication technologies (ICTs) at the regional level in Türkiye. Acknowledging the multiscale dimension of the digital divide, two main research questions are addressed: (1) Is there a digital divide between regions in Türkiye? If so, (2) How does the digital divide affect the development disparities in Türkiye? The ICT Development Index (IDI) and Socio-Economic Development Index (SEDI) are utilized together to answer these questions. Results reveal a positive correlation between them and significant discrepancies between Türkiye‘s eastern and western regions. Remarkably, the digitalization gap is narrower than the socio-economic development gap. The findings suggest that while digital technologies have diffused rapidly in Türkiye, their socio-economic benefits have been absorbed more slowly. This study aims to contribute to the literature on the digital divide and information and communication technology for development (ICT4D) at the regional level, providing insights for policymakers to address regional digital inequalities in Türkiye.

description: Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed non-skin cancer in adult males in North America and is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality. For locally advanced or metastatic disease, androgen deprivation, through medical or surgical castration, is the primary treatment to induce prostate cancer cell death and extend patient survival. However, the vast majority of cancers progress to a castration-resistant/androgen-independent state where the cell death processes are no longer active. This review describes the main cell death processes, apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis and necroptosis, which may be activated in prostate cancers after androgen deprivation therapy as well as the molecular mechanisms through which the cancers progress to become castration resistant. In particular, the central role of persistent androgen receptor (AR)-mediated signaling and AR crosstalk with other critical cell signaling pathways, including (i) the PI3K/Akt pathway, (ii) receptor tyrosine kinases, (iii) the p38 MAPK pathway, and (iv) the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, as well as reactivation of AR by de novo synthesized androgen are discussed in this context. Understanding the molecular changes that subvert normal cell death mechanisms and thereby compromise the survival of prostate cancer patients continues to be a major challenge.

description: Taking into account the local dependence structure in large-scale multiple testing is expected to improve both the efficiency of the testing procedure and the interpretability of scientific findings. The hidden Markov model (HMM), as an effective model to describe the sequential dependence, has been successfully applied to large-scale multiple testing with local correlations. However, in many applications, the first-order Markov chain is not flexible enough to capture the complexity of local correlations. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel multiple testing procedure that uses a higher-order Markov chain to better characterize local correlations among tests. The proposed procedure is validated by theoretical results and simulation studies, which show that it outperforms its competitors in terms of power. Finally, a real data analysis is presented to demonstrate the favorable performance of the proposed procedure.

description: Background: Clinical laboratories are adopting array genomic hybridization as a standard clinical test. A number of whole genome array genomic hybridization platforms are available, but little is known about their comparative performance in a clinical context. Methods: We studied 30 children with idiopathic MR and both unaffected parents of each child using Affymetrix 500 K GeneChip SNP arrays, Agilent Human Genome 244 K oligonucleotide arrays and NimbleGen 385 K Whole-Genome oligonucleotide arrays. We also determined whether CNVs called on these platforms were detected by Illumina Hap550 beadchips or SMRT 32 K BAC whole genome tiling arrays and tested 15 of the 30 trios on Affymetrix 6.0 SNP arrays. Results: The Affymetrix 500 K, Agilent and NimbleGen platforms identified 3061 autosomal and 117 X chromosomal CNVs in the 30 trios. 147 of these CNVs appeared to be de novo, but only 34 (22%) were found on more than one platform. Performing genotype-phenotype correlations, we identified 7 most likely pathogenic and 2 possibly pathogenic CNVs for MR. All 9 of these putatively pathogenic CNVs were detected by the Affymetrix 500 K, Agilent, NimbleGen and the Illumina arrays, and 5 were found by the SMRT BAC array. Both putatively pathogenic CNVs identified in the 15 trios tested with the Affymetrix 6.0 were identified by this platform. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that different results are obtained with different platforms and illustrate the trade-off that exists between sensitivity and specificity. The large number of apparently false positive CNV calls on each of the platforms supports the need for validating clinically important findings with a different technology.

description: The defect chemistry in the mid-band gap semiconductor SrTiO3 (STO) plays a crucial role for its properties. These can be tuned by temperature, doping, p(O2), and UV irradiation. Since UV exposure leads to the formation of photoelectrons and –holes the oxygen chemical potential of oxygen is changed. This results in an enhanced incorporation of oxygen into Fe-doped STO at elevated temperatures. In this work different approaches to investigate this phenomena are introduced. i) Oxygen compositional changes can be probed by measuring the light induced weight change using GaPO4 microbalances. ii) UV exposure and oxygen incorporation also cause a photo and a battery voltage, which can be measured in-situ. iii) Inplane conductivity measurements reveal an increase of the electron hole conductivity, as the result of Fe3+ oxidation to Fe4+. iv) This change of the Fe oxidation state additionally leads to a change in the color of Fe-doped STO from brownish/transparent to black. Two broad additional absorption bands in the region of 440 nm and 590 nm occur.

description: Background: The association between lower socioeconomic status and poorer health outcomes has been observed using both individual-level and aggregate-level measures of income and education. While both are predictive of health outcomes, previous research indicates poor agreement between individual-level and aggregate-level measures. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of agreement between aggregate-level and individual-level measures of income and education among three distinct patient groups, specifically asthma, diabetes, and rheumatoid patients. Methods: Individual-level measures of annual household income and education were derived from three separate surveys conducted among patients with asthma (n = 359), diabetes (n = 281) and rheumatoid arthritis (n = 275). Aggregate-level measures of income and education were derived from the 2001 Canadian census, including both census tract-and dissemination area-level measures. Cross-tabulations of individual-level income by aggregate-level income were used to determine the percentage of income classifications in agreement. The kappa statistic (simple and weighted), Spearman's rank correlations, and intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) were also calculated. Individual-level and aggregate-level education was compared using Chi-Square tests within patient groups. Point biserial correlation coefficients between individual-level and aggregate-level education were computed. Results: Individual-level income was poorly correlated with aggregate-level measures, which provided the worst estimations of income among patients in the lowest income category at the individual-level. Both aggregate-level measures were best at approximating individual-level income in patients with diabetes, in whom aggregate-level estimates were only significantly different from individual-level measures for patients in the lowest income category. Among asthma patients, the proportion of patients classified by aggregate-level measures as having a university degree was significantly lower than that classified by individual-level measures. Among diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis patients, differences between aggregate and individual-level measures of education were not significant. Conclusions: Agreement between individual-level and aggregate-level measures of socioeconomic status may depend on the patient group as well as patient income. Research is needed to characterize differences between patient groups and help guide the choice of measures of socioeconomic status.

description: Objectives To quantify the effect of demographic variables and socioeconomic status (SES) on surgical consultation and total joint arthroplasty (TJA) rates among osteoarthritis (OA) patients, using population-based administrative data. Research Design A cohort study was conducted in British Columbia using population data from 1991 to 2004. From April 1996 to March 1998, we have documented 34,420 new OA patients and these patients were followed to March 2004 for their first surgical consultation and TJA. Effects of age, sex, and SES were evaluated by Cox proportional hazards models after adjusting for co-morbidities and pain medication used. Results During a mean 5.5 year follow up period, 7,475 OA patients had their first surgical consultations and 2,814 patients received TJA within a 6 years mean follow up period. Crude hazards ratio (HR) for men compared to women was 1.25 (95% CI, 1.20-1.31) for surgical consultation and was 1.14 (95% CI, 1.06-1.23) for TJA. The interaction between sex and SES was significant. Stratified analysis showed among men, HR of 1.42 (95% CI, 1.27-1.58) and 1.52 (95% CI, 1.26-1.83) for surgical consultations and TJA respectively for the highest SES compared with the lowest SES quintiles. Similar significant results were observed among women. Conclusions Differential access to the health care system exists among patients with OA. Women with OA were less likely than men to see an orthopedic surgeon as well as to obtain a TJA. Patients with higher SES consulted orthopedic surgeons more frequently and received more TJA than those with the lowest SES.

description: Word alignments are useful for tasks like statistical and neural machine translation (NMT) and annotation projection. Statistical word aligners perform well, as do methods that extract alignments jointly with translations in NMT. However, most approaches require parallel training data and quality decreases as less training data is available. We propose word alignment methods that require no parallel data. The key idea is to leverage multilingual word embeddings, both static and contextualized, for word alignment. Our multilingual embeddings are created from monolingual data only without relying on any parallel data or dictionaries. We find that alignments created from embeddings are competitive and mostly superior to traditional statistical aligners, even in scenarios with abundant parallel data. For example, for a set of 100k parallel sentences, contextualized embeddings achieve a word alignment F1 for English-German that is more than 5% higher (absolute) than eflomal, a high quality alignment model.
Dabigatran for atrial fibrillation : Why we can not rely on RE-LY
Creators: name: Therapeutics Initiative (University Of British Columbia)
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Therapeutics Letter 80 provides a detailed analysis of the RE-LY trial, which compared dabigatran to warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation. Conclusions: Licensing of dabigatran 150 mg BID for atrial fibrillation is premature, pharmacologically irrational and unsafe for many patients. The optimal dose of dabigatran for non-valvular atrial fibrillation is not yet clear. An independent audit of RE-LY is needed to check for irregularities in conduct, sources of bias and the cause of the unusually high incidence of intracranial hemorrhage in the warfarin arm. An independently conducted double-blind RCT comparing dabigatran with warfarin in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation is required. Taking antiplatelet drugs in combination with oral anticoagulants doubles the incidence of major bleeding events.

description: Fueled by technological and conceptual advancements over the past two decades, research in cancer metabolism has begun to answer questions dating back to the time of Otto Warburg. But, as with most fields, new discoveries lead to new questions. This review outlines the emerging challenges that we predict will drive the next few decades of cancer metabolism research. These include developing a more realistic understanding of how metabolic activities are compartmentalized within cells, tissues, and organs; how metabolic preferences in tumors evolve during cancer progression from nascent, premalignant lesions to advanced, metastatic disease; and, most importantly, how we can best translate basic observations from preclinical models into novel therapies that benefit patients with cancer. With modern tools and an incredible amount of talent focusing on these problems, the upcoming decades should bring transformative discoveries.

description: This study describes the successful delivery of helper-dependent adenoviral vectors to the mouse retina with long term and robust levels of reporter expression in the retina without apparent adverse effects. Since these vectors have a large cloning capacity, they have great potential to extend the success of gene therapy achieved using the adeno-associated viral vector.

description: Background: The effects of variations in exercise training on Left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients shortly after Myocardial Infarction (MI) are important but poorly understood. Methods: Systematic review incorporating meta-analysis using meta-regression. Studies were identified via systematic searches of: OVID MEDLINE (1950 to 2009), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (1991 to 2009), AMED (1985 to 2009), EMBASE (1988 to 2009), PUBMED (1966 to 2009), SPORT DISCUS (1975 to 2009), SCOPUS (1950 to 2009) and WEB OF SCIENCE (1950 to 2009) using the medical subject headings: myocardial infarction, post myocardial infarction, post infarction, heart attack, ventricular remodeling, ventricular volumes, ejection fraction, left ventricular function, exercise, exercise therapy, kinesiotherapy, exercise training. Reference lists of all identified studies were also manually searched for further relevant studies. Studies selected were randomized controlled trials of exercise training interventions reporting ejection fraction (EF) and/or ventricular volumes in patients following recent MI (≤ 3 months) post-MI patients involving control groups. Studies were excluded if they were not randomized, did not have a 'usual-care' control (involving no exercise), evaluated a non-exercise intervention, or did not involve human subjects. Non-English studies were also excluded. Results: After screening of 1029 trials, trials were identified that reported EF (12 trials, n = 647), End Systolic Volumes (ESV) (9 trials, n = 475) and End Diastolic Volumes (EDV) (10 trials, n = 512). Meta-regression identified that changes in EF effect size difference decreased as the time between MI and initiation of the exercise program lengthened, and increased as the duration of the program increased (Q = 25.48, df = 2, p < 0.01, R2 = 0.76). Greater reductions in ESV and EDV (as indicated by effect size decreases) occurred with earlier initiation of exercise training and with longer training durations (ESV: Q = 23.89, df = 2, p < 0.05, R2 = 0.79; EDV: Q = 27.42, df = 2, p < 0.01, R2 = 0.83). Differences remained following sensitivity analysis. Each week that exercise was delayed required an additional month of training to achieve the same level of benefit on LV remodeling. Conclusions: Exercise training has beneficial effects on LV remodeling in clinically stable post-MI patients with greatest benefits occurring when training starts earlier following MI (from one week) and lasts longer than 3 months.

Diagnosis: Males of Z. atlanticum can be distinguished from other relatives in the rubidum group by the embolus and its subterminal tooth, both with truncated tips (Fig. 14B). Females, on the other hand, can be identified by a combination of characters, including the convergent postero-lateral margins of the epigyne (Figs 15H, 17B), and the short septum (Figs 15H, 17B).
Description: For a detailed description of the habitus and male palp, refer to Pekár & Cardoso (2005). Epigyne (Fig. 17B): Epigynal plate sub-trapezoidal, anteriorly limited by an antero-median chitinous ridge. The ridge anteriorly accompanied by a wedge-shaped structure. Epigynal plate posteriorly widened, laterally S-shaped. Epigyne with a short longitudinal septum, posteriorly elongated toward the epigynal plate. Epigyne accompanied by a pair of copulatory openings on antero-lateral sides of the septum. These copulatory openings linked to a pair of lateral pits by connecting grooves.

description: Coping or adaptation following large-scale disturbance may depend on the political system and its preparedness and policy development in relation to risks. Adaptive or foresight planning is necessary in order to account and plan for potential risks that may increase or take place concurrently with climate change. Forests constitute relevant examples of large-scale renewable resource systems that have been directly affected by recent environmental and social changes, and where different levels of management may influence each other. This article views disturbances in the forest sectors of Sweden and Canada, two large forest nations with comparable forestry experiences, in order to elucidate the preparedness and existing responses to multiple potential stresses. The article concludes that the two countries are exposed to stresses that indicate the importance of the governing and institutional system particularly with regard to multi-level systems including federal and EU levels. While economic change largely results in privatization of risk onto individual companies and their economic resources (in Canada coupled with a contestation of institutional systems and equity in these), storm and pest outbreaks in particular challenge institutional capacities at administrative levels, within the context provided by governance and tenure systems.
