description: Despite the wide array of frameworks proposed for the formal speci fication and analysis of privacy
laws, there has been comparatively little work on expressing large fragments of actual privacy laws
in these frameworks. We attempt to bridge this gap by presenting what we believe to be the most
complete logical formalizations of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to date.

Speci fically, we formalize §§6802 and 6803 of GLBA and §§164.502, 164.506, 164.508, 164.510,
164.512, 164.514, and 164.524 of HIPAA. The remaining sections of both laws are not stated in
terms of operational requirements, and therefore cannot be formalized in our model.

Along the way, we also give a novel extension of an existing privacy logic with real-time features
and fixed point operators; these provide the expressive power necessary to capture legal clauses
found in GLBA and HIPAA involving bounded-time obligations and reuse of information.

description: Background: Concerns about youth alcohol and drug use have risen since the declaration of the global COVID-19 pandemic due to the pandemic’s impact on known risk and protective factors for substance use. However, the pandemic’s immediate and long-term impact on youths’ substance use patterns has been less clear. Thus, this study sought to determine how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted alcohol or drug use and its risk and protective factors among youth accessing integrated youth services. Methods We conducted a repeated cross-sectional study of patient-reported outcomes data collected between May 2018 and February 2022 among youth (n = 6022) ages 10–24 accessing a provincial network of integrated youth services in Canada. The main exposure of interest was the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020 – February 2022) compared with a pre-pandemic period (May 2018 – February 2020). As measured by the Global Appraisal of Individual Needs – Short Screener, outcomes included the average number of past month alcohol or drug use symptoms and past month likelihood of service need for alcohol/drug use (moderate/high vs. low need). Interrupted time series (ITS) examined change in average monthly alcohol/drug use symptoms between the pre- and pandemic periods. Stratified multivariable logistic regression investigated how the pandemic modified the effects of established risk/protective factors on likelihood of alcohol/drug use service need. Results Fifty-percent of youth met the criteria for moderate/high likelihood of alcohol/drug use service need, with the odds being 2.39 times (95% confidence interval = 2.04, 2.80) greater during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period. Results from the ITS indicated significant immediate effects of the pandemic on monthly substance use symptoms (p = 0.01). Significant risk/protective factors for service need included exposure to violence, engagement in meaningful activities, and self-rated physical and mental health; and the direction of their effects remained consistent across pandemic and pre-pandemic periods. Conclusions This study demonstrated that the COVID-19 pandemic corresponded with increased alcohol or drug use among youth accessing integrated services. This signals an urgent need for increased clinical capacity in existing youth services and policies that can respond to risk/protective factors for substance use earlier.

description: In the recent years, automated speech recognition has been the main drive behind the advent of spoken language interfaces, but at the same time a severe limiting factor in the development of these systems. We believe that increased robustness in the face of recognition errors can be achieved by making the systems aware of their own misunderstandings, and employing appropriate recovery techniques when breakdowns in interaction occur. In
this paper we address the rst problem: the development of an utterance-level con dence annotator for a spoken dialog system. After a brief introduction to the CMU Communicator spoken dialog system (which provided the target platform for the developed annotator), we cast the con dence annotation problem as a machine learning classi cation task, and focus on selecting relevant features and on empirically identifying the best classi cation techniques for this task. The results indicate that signi cant reductions in classi cation error rate can be obtained using several di erent classi ers. Furthermore, we propose a data driven approach to assessing the impact of the errors committed by the con dence annotator on dialog performance, with a view to optimally ne-tuning the annotator. Several models were constructed, and the resulting error costs were in accordance with our intuition. We found, surprisingly, that, at least for a mixed-initiative spoken dialog system as
the CMU Communicator, these errors trade-o equally over a wide operating characteristic range.

description: Nell’estate del 2009 ha preso il via la campagna di scavo nella zona delle terme Pallottino di Turris Libisonis, la colonia romana di fondazione cesariana, collocata nell’area urbana di Porto Torres (SS). Il complesso prende il nome dall’archeologo M. Pallottino che mise in luce i primi ambienti di natura termale negli anni 1941-42. Le nuove indagini hanno permesso di ampliare le conoscenze relative alla struttura che, come si può desumere dalle emergenze venute alla luce nel corso dello scavo, doveva costituire presumibilmente una struttura a carattere pubblico.

In the summer of 2009 the excavations are started in the zone of the thermae Pallottino of Turris Libisonis, the Roman colony of caesarian foundation, situated in the urban area of Porto Torres (SS). The complex takes the name from the archaeolo­gist M. Pallottino who discovered the first environments of thermal nature in the years 1941-42. The new investigations have been allowed to increase the knowledges related to the structure that, as you can be inferred by the ruins emerged during the last excava­tions, was presumably to be a structure with a public character.

description: Le ricerche avviate nel 2005 nella laguna di Santa Giusta (OR) stanno rivelando la presenza di contesti archeologici di età fenicio-punica di eccezionale rilevanza. In uno di questi, localizzato a circa 800 m dall’attuale linea di riva, è stato condotto, a partire dal 2006, uno scavo subacqueo, ancora in corso. Sono stati recuperati numerosi materiali ceramici, in larga parte rappresentati da anfore commerciali, ma anche da ceramica domestica e, più raramente, di carattere funerario e cultuale (VI-III/II sec. a.C.). In vari casi le anfore contenevano resti ossei animali, più spesso di ovicaprini, con evidenti tracce di macellazione; le condizioni anossiche garantite dal substrato limoso hanno favorito la conservazione di materiali organici, tra i quali pigne, semi di diverse specie e legni, prevalentemente lavorati, alcuni ancora in connessione.

Research undertaken in 2005 in the lagoon of Santa Giusta (OR) is revealing the presence of archaeological contexts of Phoenician-Punic date of exceptional importance. In one of these, located about 800 m from the current shoreline, an underwa­ter excavation was conducted since 2006; it is still in progress. Much pottery has been recovered, mostly represented by transport amphoras, but also by domestic pottery and, more rarely, ceramics associated with funerary and cultic use (6th-2nd century BC). In several cases the amphoras contained animal remains, most often of ovicaprines, with clear traces of slaughter; the anaerobic condi­tions guaranteed by the silty substrate have favoured the preservation of organic materials, including pine cones, seeds of different species and wood, mostly worked and some still joined together.

description: Effective antimicrobial exposure is essential to treat infections and prevent antimicrobial resistance, both being major public health problems in low and middle income countries (LMIC). Delivery of drug concentrations to the target site is governed by dose and pharmacokinetic processes (absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion). However, specific data on the pharmacokinetics of antimicrobials in children living in LMIC settings are scarce. Additionally, there are significant logistical constraints to therapeutic drug monitoring that further emphasize the importance of understanding pharmacokinetics and dosing in LMIC. Both malnutrition and diarrheal disease reduce the extent of enteral absorption. Multiple antiretrovirals and antimycobacterial agents, commonly used by children in low resource settings, have potential interactions with other antimicrobials. Hypoalbuminemia, which may be the result of malnutrition, nephrotic syndrome or liver failure, increases the unbound concentrations of protein bound drugs that may therefore be eliminated faster. Kidney function develops rapidly during the first years of life and different inflammatory processes commonly augment renal clearance in febrile children, potentially resulting in subtherapeutic drug concentrations if doses are not adapted. Using a narrative review approach, we outline the effects of growth, maturation and comorbidities on maturational and disease specific effects on pharmacokinetics in children in LMIC.

Sociological and psychoanalytic analyses emerged within the compass of el Hiperión and then took on a distinctive life of their own. The present article, an exercise in the history of ideas, anatomizes the force field of lo mexicano in the 1950s-1960s. As it charts developments in lo mexicano and locates Hiperión in their circuitry, my essay outlines some ways in which a genealogical approach may enhance understanding of mid-twentieth century Mexican philosophy.
Residual Voltage in Biphasic Electrical Stimulation: Cause, Clues, and Control

Subjects: classificationCode: 400899
subject: Electrical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Electrical stimulation of neural tissue has been known to evoke functional responses in animals. Stimulation is primarily performed by passing controlled, symmetric biphasic current pulses to an electrode placed near the neural tissue. The biphasic current pulse consists of a negative pulse, followed by a positive pulse to maintain charge neutrality. A theoretical analysis on a first order electrode-electrolyte (tissue) interface model has shown that perfectly balanced input current signals do not ensure net neutrality at the interface, due to an unrecoverable loss of charge via the faradaic impedance. In chronically implanted devices, there is currently no practical way to quickly identify changes that occur at the electrode-tissue interface, especially in high-density electrode arrays. This work explores the extent to which the residual voltage can act as a preliminary indicator of electrode degradation, because residual voltage is essentially a characteristic of the interface. While residual voltage provides timely feedback when sampled at regular intervals, it can accumulate and a DC voltage on a stimulation electrode can be potentially unsafe in a chronically implanted device. The method of delivering current signals has traditionally been implemented as an open loop system. This work also demonstrates that one can control the residual voltage by correcting the positive pulse of the biphasic signal based on the existing state of the electrode-electrolyte/tissue interface. While the resulting biphasic stimulation waveform is imbalanced, the interface is electrochemically neutral. The updated value of the imbalanced anodic pulse width can provide us meta-data about the interface, in case there is any degradation. By controlling the residual voltage at the electrode actively with feedback, the proposed closed loop system will improve the safety of neural stimulator systems.

description: Coronary artery disease, a leading cause of death in the United States, is commonly treated with arterial stents. Common issues with cobalt chromium (CoCr) and stainless-steel cardiac stents are thrombosis and in-stent restenosis from the growth of neointimal hyperplasia. To address these issues, researchers have investigated alternative stents, such as bioresorbable stents, which could open the artery upon implantation and degrade after re-endothelization of the lumen.

description: As rates of total mastectomy rise, the relationships between surgery modality with domains of health-related quality of life is not well understood. This study reports differences in depression, anxiety, pain, and health status among a cohort of women scheduled to receive total mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery. Patient-reported outcomes measured preoperative differences between patients receiving total mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery in a cross-sectional design. Regression analyses was used to model health outcomes and adjust for patient demographics on patient measures. Participants scheduled for total mastectomy were more likely to report more severe symptoms of depression and anxiety. This association was non-significant after adjusting for demographic differences. Younger participants were more likely to be scheduled for total mastectomy. Age was negatively associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety. Screening patients for mental health symptoms may be particularly important among younger patients who were more likely to report depression and anxiety before their surgery and were more likely to receive total mastectomy.

description: Background: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) outcomes remain suboptimal for early-stage disease despite emerging advances in systemic therapy for the peri-operative period. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) identifies driver mutations for which targeted therapies have been developed that improve survival. The BC lung cancer screening program, which was initiated in May 2022, is expected to identify people with early and late stages of NSCLC. It is crucial to first understand the molecular epidemiology and patterns of time to initiate treatment across its five health authorities (HA) to optimize the delivery of care for NSCLC in BC. In this way, we may harness the benefits of targeted therapy for more people with NSCLC as novel advances in therapy continue to emerge. Objective: to compare (a) the frequency of actionable NSCLC molecular alterations among HAs and (b) the time to treatment initiation. Methods: a retrospective observational study was conducted with prospectively collected data from the BC CGL Database. Adults with late stage NSCLC who underwent targeted NGS were included for the time period from May 2020 to June 2021. Demographics, actionable molecular alterations, PDL-1 expression, and time to treatment across HAs were examined. Using appropriate statistical tests for comparison among HAs, p>0.05 was deemed significant. Results: 582 patients underwent NGS/IHC and analysis during the study period. The mean age was 71 (10.1), and 326 (56%) patients were female. A significantly higher proportion of all EGFRm+ were identified within Vancouver Coastal Health (VCHA) and Fraser Health Authority (FHA) compared to the other health authorities (p < 0.001). This also holds true for common sensitizing EGFRm+ alone (p < 0.001) and for sensitizing EGFRm+ when adjusted for females and smoker status (OR 0.75; 95% CI 0.62, 0.92; p = 0.005). Patients residing within the Northern, Interior, and Island HAs were less likely to receive treatment at the same rate as those in VCHA and FHA HAs. Conclusion: actionable NSCLC driver mutations are present in all regional HAs, with disparity noted in time to initiate treatment between HAs. This provides evidence for the importance of molecular testing for patients in all BC HAs to guide personalized and timely NSCLC treatment.

description: First Nations (FN) communities have traditionally used smoke to preserve fish for food security purposes. In this study, an assessment of chemical and microbiological food safety, together with nutritional quality, was conducted on fish preserved using traditional smoke processing. High-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) residues accounted for only 0.6% of the total PAH in traditionally fully smoked salmon, and Benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) was not detected in the FN smoked or commercial smoked fish, respectively. The antimicrobial activity of the solvent extracts derived from smoked fish towards Listeria innocua was very low but detectable. The practice of using full and half-smoked processing for fish reduced all of the fatty acid concentrations and also minimized the further loss of essential omega-3 fatty acids to a greater extent than non-smoked fish during storage (p < 0.05). This finding corresponded to lower (p < 0.05) lipid oxidation in smoked fish. We conclude that the benefits of reducing lipid oxidation and retaining essential fatty acids during storage, together with a potentially significant reduction in Listeria contamination, are notable benefits of traditional smoke processing. Although B(a)P was not detected in FN smoked fish, attention should be given to controlling the temperature and smoking period applied during this processing to minimize potential long-term risks associated with PAH exposure.

description: Cannabis is the most commonly used psychoactive substance in the world and is commonly used to cope with stress. Given that the endogenous endocannabinoid system influences physiological responses to stress, frequent cannabis consumption may alter stress reactivity. Indeed, frequent cannabis use is associated with elevated basal cortisol levels and a blunted cortisol response to stressful stimuli. However, how frequent cannabis use influences cardiovascular reactivity to an acute stress is unclear. We hypothesized that individuals that use cannabis would have blunted cardiovascular reactivity to an acute stress compared to individuals who do not use cannabis.

description: The Resonator: A Quantum-Transcendental Interface for Climate Restoration

This landmark paper introduces a novel, first-principles framework for restoring planetary climate balance using quantum-resonant carbon capture technologies inspired by photosynthesis. By reframing carbon as “frozen light,” we develop a theoretical and applied system architecture that merges quantum coherence, biomimicry, and energy system design. The proposed CLIS (Carbon-Light Interface System) demonstrates the possibility of scalable, distributed devices capable of real-time carbon capture and transformation, powered by solar input and quantum catalytic geometries.

description: Over Vladimir Putin’s twenty-four years in office, he has increasingly promoted a united national mythology in the name of authoritarian regime security. His national mythology seems to have both strengthened his regime and entrenched anti-Ukrainian sentiments within the Russian Federation. Following the full-scale invasion in 2022, the reframing of history deepened, infiltrating university courses and school textbooks as well as state media. The existence of a national mythology is not in itself remarkable: all states need a national mythology because a founding narrative is a cornerstone of national identity. The question, however, is why has Russia’s mythology changed so much under Putin’s regime, and why has the mythology become so deeply state controlled? By analyzing changes over time in Putin’s public speeches and articles, it becomes clear that the national mythology currently present within Russia is not necessarily native but rather intentionally crafted by the Kremlin.  This is evident in the Kremlin’s consolidation of national identity and memory within Russia paired with increasing restrictions on civil liberties. Additionally, education has increasingly played a role in presenting the state’s historical narrative to youth populations. The fact that Putin is able to enact these reforms and yet maintain reportedly high approval ratings proves the efficacy of his slow-burn authoritarian consolidation. As the policies of past authoritarians have inspired Putin, so, too, will the success of his policies serve as an example for future authoritarians. In a time when far-right politics are on the rise globally, this is cause for great concern and should be watched carefully, and attempts to emulate Putin must be called out and resisted.

Figs. 2–8
Holotype — UCMP 114990, UCMP loc. V74122, left upper molar (M1 or M2).
Revised diagnosis— Postcanines are smaller than those of Prodiacodon puercensis. Differing from P. puercensis, upper molars of P. crustulum have relatively wider stylar shelves, variable presence of a small stylocone, smaller hypocones, shorter and smaller (in basal dimensions) metacones relative to paracones. Also, the paraconule and smaller metaconule are well developed and situated on the pre- and postprotocrista closer to the apex of the protocone than to the bases of the paracone and metacone. Differing from the type and paratype of P. puercensis, on only a few upper molars a small cuspule is present anterolabial to the paraconule. In both species, on P5 and the upper molars the precingulum is crenulated by series of folds and/or cuspules as is the transversely longer postcingulum. Unlike P. puercensis, in which it is salient, the mesial end of the crown of p5 is blunt with a small cusp present lingual to the paraconid. Talonids of m1 and m2 differ from those of the paratype of P.puercensis in usually having only three cusps; the majority lacks an entoconulid. An entoconulid is present on the talonids of most m3s.
Hypodigm— Other than a fragment of a dentary with p2, a fragment of p4 and p5, UCMP 224048, the hypodigm consists of isolated teeth (Table 1). Identification of the positions of the isolated teeth in the dentition has been based primarily on comparisons with the paratype of P. puercensis (Novacek 1977, fig. 8; 1986, fig. 4; Matthew 1918, figs. 6-9; 1937, plate 55, figs. 1-8) and more recent leptictids. Dimensions of the postcanines are given in Table 2.
Description
Dentary, p2, p4, and p5 — A right dentary (UCMP 224048, Fig. 2) preserves p2, a fragment of p4, and p5. The p2 has a single central cusp (protoconid). A crest extends mesially from the protoconid to a miniscule cusp

title: Nonparametric Identification of Incomplete Information Discrete Games with Non-equilibrium Behaviors
Creators: name: Xie, Erhao
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada

description: In the literature that estimates discrete games with incomplete information, researchers usually
impose two assumptions. First, either the payoff function or the distribution of private
information or both are restricted to follow some parametric functional forms. Second, players’
behaviors are assumed to be consistent with the Bayesian Nash equilibrium. This paper jointly
relaxes both assumptions. The framework non-parametrically specifies both the payoff function
and the distribution of private information. In addition, each player’s belief about other players’
behaviors is also modeled as a nonparametric function. I allow this belief function to be any
probability distribution over other players’ action sets. This specification nests the equilibrium
assumption when each player’s belief corresponds to other players’ actual choice probabilities.
It also allows non-equilibrium behaviors when some players’ beliefs are biased or incorrect.
Under the above framework, this paper first derives a testable implication of the equilibrium
condition. It then obtains the identification results for the payoff function, the belief function
and the distribution of private information.
description: Dans les travaux d’estimation des jeux discrets en information incomplète, les chercheurs
formulent généralement deux hypothèses. D’abord, des contraintes sont imposées à la fonction
de gains ou à la fonction de distribution des informations privées, ou aux deux à la fois, pour
que celles-ci suivent des formes paramétriques. Ensuite, les comportements des joueurs sont
considérés comme étant conformes au modèle d’équilibre de Nash bayésien. Dans cette étude,
ces deux hypothèses sont écartées conjointement. Le cadre définit la fonction de gains et la
fonction de distribution des informations privées de façon non paramétrique. De plus, la
croyance de chaque joueur à l’égard des comportements des autres joueurs est modélisée sous
la forme d’une fonction non paramétrique. La fonction des croyances peut correspondre à
n’importe laquelle des distributions de probabilités qui représentent les ensembles d’actions
des autres joueurs. Cette spécification intègre l’hypothèse d’équilibre lorsque la croyance de
chaque joueur correspond aux probabilités réelles des choix des autres joueurs. Elle autorise
aussi des comportements hors équilibre lorsque les croyances de certains joueurs sont biaisées
ou erronées. De ce cadre, notre étude déduit d’abord l’implication vérifiable de la condition
d’équilibre. Elle obtient ensuite les résultats d’identification pour la fonction de gains, la
fonction des croyances et la fonction de distribution des informations privées.

description: This thesis presents the results of a preliminary archaeological investigation of shell mound at Booral, a coastal site in the Great Sandy Strait Region. Evidence of fish remains in this site dating back to 3000 b.p. has led to a revision of a model posited by Walters (1987, 1989) which advocated the establishment of a fishery in the Moreton Region after 2000 b.p. The active procurement of fish by at least 3000 b.p. in southeast Queensland suggests that perhaps people have been maritime hunter-gathers for much longer than was previously though. Although the use of certain coastal sites may have been influenced by environmental dynamics such as sea level fluctuation, it is likely that these sites.were utilised by a people who were preadapted to coastal living.

description: This dissertation describes analyses and contextualises the results of archaeological investigations carried out between 1998 and 2000 on Mer and Dauar in Torres Strait. Along with Waier these small volcanic islands are commonly known as the Murray Islands, and form the most eastern group of the formation of islands scattered between northeastern Australia and southern Papua New Guinea. Unlike the research into human occupation and subsistence in Australia and New Guinea, the archaeology of the Torres Strait Islands is by contrast a relatively recent academic pursuit. Over the last 30 years various researchers have postulated the timing of first human occupation of Torres Strait, the development of maritime and horticultural subsistence systems and the emergence of ethnohistorically documented trade networks. A lack of archaeological data, however, has prevented informed consideration of these issues. ...
