Universal resilience patterns in labor markets by Moro, Esteban, Frank, Morgan R., Pentland, Alex, Rutherford, Alex, Cebrian, Manuel, Rahwan, Iyad

“…Further, cities that increase their job connectivity see increasing wage bills, and workers of embedded occupations enjoy higher wages than their peers elsewhere. Finally, we show how job connectivity may clarify the augmenting and deleterious impact of automation in US cities. …”

Associations between violence in childhood, depression and suicide attempts in adolescence: evidence from a cohort study in Luwero district, Uganda by Akunzirwe, R, Carter, DJ, Hanna, L, Zinke-Allmang, A, Akim, A, Datzberger, S, Parkes, J, Knight, L, Atuhaire, L, Nakuti, J, Mirembe, A, Allen, E, Naker, D, Devries, K, Bhatia, A

“…However, few studies use longitudinal data from low- and middle-income countries with attention to how associations differ by experiencing specific types of violence or alongside different contexts of peer and family support. In this study, we quantify the association between experiences of violence in early adolescence and depression and suicide attempts in late adolescence and explore whether this association is modified by family and peer connectedness. …”

Autism narratives in Singapore by Ho, Melissa Yun Ling

“…Examining Singaporean autism narratives allows us insight into the ways in which dominant global discourses about autism are negotiated in local contexts; narratives are shaped by their socio-cultural contexts and examining those from Singapore, a globalised and multicultural, yet socially conservative city-state, enables us to understand the ways in which such multiple discourses come to bear upon individual narratives. Given that these narratives have, in turn, the potential to shape cultural discourses, and having shown through close literary analysis some effects of existing stereotypes and discourses, I argue for the urgency and importance of attending to narrative ethics in the production of autism narratives in Singapore.…”

Magical realism and representations of the cold war in Southeast Asia by Lye, Kit Ying

“…However, while there are acknowledgements by scholars that religious myths and pre-existing animistic beliefs continue to influence the way that the indigenous people understand their worlds, Southeast Asian authors (unlike many of their postcolonial peers), do not actively employ magical realism in their exploration of history and civil unrest in their writings, and when they do, are not employed to the same degree as postcolonial authors in other regions. …”

Towards Synergistic Understanding of Language Processing in Biological and Artificial Systems by Hosseini Asl, Eghbal

“…Despite decades of research aimed at uncovering the neural mechanisms underlying activity in this network, a computationally precise account has remained elusive. Over the past five years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have achieved capabilities in the comprehension and production of language that are indistinguishable from those of humans, and their internal representations bear similarity to activity within the language network. …”

Blockchain for RegTech: streamlining know your customer (KYC) pipelines by Tan, Valerie Huiying

“…With Decentralised Finance being developed to replace traditional financial services and transactions of virtual land being conducted on the Metaverse, these ecosystems often involve large amounts of money and require regulatory compliance checks. This calls for a solution that can interoperate effectively with these emerging technologies. …”

Prescriptive analytics models for vessel inspection planning in maritime transportation by Yang, Ying, Yan, Ran., Wang, Shuaian

“…The inspection process involves identifying high-risk vessels, allocating surveyors, and conducting onboard checks. This study aims to optimize the selection and assignment process through a two-stage framework, balancing the benefits of identifying deficiencies against the costs of inspection delays. …”

Secure and secret cooperation in robotic swarms by Castelló Ferrer, Eduardo, Hardjono, Thomas, Pentland, Alex 'Sandy', Dorigo, Marco

“…We propose a system where robots in a swarm, to cooperate towards mission completion, have to "prove" their integrity to their peers by exchanging cryptographic proofs. We show the implications of this approach for two different swarm robotics missions: foraging and maze formation. …”

The Importance of Bystanders in Threat Assessment and Management by Borum, Randy, Rowe, Mary

“…Numerous studies of targeted violence (e.g., mass shootings and school shootings), have demonstrated that peers and bystanders often have knowledge of an attacker’s intentions, concerning communication, and troubling behavior before the attack occurs. …”

Flexible optical fiber probe for surface roughness evaluation of internal channels in additively manufactured components by Subbarao, Guru Prasad Arudi, Haridas, Aswin, Patinharekandy, Prabhathan, Kapur, Pulkit, Chan, Kelvin, Matham, Murukeshan Vadakke

“…However, being a stochastic process, there is minimal control over the surface quality and thus require adequate quality checks before implementation. In this context, this paper investigates a flexible optical fiber probe and speckle correlation measurements to quantitatively estimate the average surface roughness, Ra, of areas within internal channels. …”
