Nine historical views of the Phillips curve: eight authentic and one inauthentic by Forder, J

“…There is a widely believed but entirely mythical story to the effect that the discovery of ‘the Phillips curve’ was, in the 1960s and 1970s, an inspiration of inflationist policy. One aspect of the explanation of how that myth came to be widely believed is considered in this paper. …”

Model merging and safety alignment: one bad model spoils the bunch by Hammoud, HAAK, Michieli, U, Pizzati, F, Torr, P, Bibi, A, Ghanem, B, Ozay, M

“…Merging Large Language Models (LLMs) is a cost-effective technique for combining multiple expert LLMs into a single versatile model, retaining the expertise of the original ones. However, current approaches often overlook the importance of safety alignment during merging, leading to highly misaligned models. …”

Poincaré inequality for one forms on four manifolds with bounded Ricci curvature by Honda, S, Mondino, A

“…In this short note, we provide a quantitative global Poincar´e inequality for one forms on a closed Riemannian four manifold, in terms of an upper bound on the diameter, a positive lower bound on the volume, and a two-sided bound on Ricci curvature. …”

Asymmetric allylic alkynylation catalyzed by guanidine copper(I) complex by Cui, Xiyang

“…The main project during my Ph.D. period was devoted to developing the asymmetric allylic alkynylation of racemic chiral substrates in the presence of Cu(I) and chiral guanidinium catalysts. Previously developed guanidine-derived chiral organocatalysts in Prof Tan Choon Hong’s lab were applied into asymmetric transition-metal catalyzed coupling reaction for the first time, showing great efficiency in the stereoconvergent transformation of racemic cyclic allylic bromides. …”

Statistical analysis plan for a cluster randomised controlled trial to compare screening, feedback and intervention for child anxiety problems to usual school practice: identifying Child Anxiety Through Schools-identification to intervention (iCATS-i2i) by Ball, S, Reardon, T, Creswell, C, Taylor, L, Brown, P, Ford, T, Gray, A, Hill, C, Jasper, B, Larkin, M, Macdonald, I, Morgan, F, Pollard, J, Sancho, M, Sniehotta, FF, Spence, SH, Stainer, J, Stallard, P, Violato, M, Ukoumunne, OC

“…<p><strong>Background</strong></p> The Identifying Child Anxiety Through Schools-identification to intervention (iCATS-i2i) trial is being conducted to establish whether ‘screening and intervention’, consisting of usual school practice plus a pathway comprising screening, feedback and a brief parent-led online intervention (OSI: Online Support and Intervention for child anxiety), bring clinical and health economic benefits compared to usual school practice and assessment only — ‘usual school practice’, for children aged 8–9 years in the following: (1) the ‘target population’, who initially screen positive for anxiety problems according to a two-item parent-report child anxiety questionnaire — iCATS-2, and (2) the ‘total population’, comprising all children in participating classes. …”

The knowledge gap hypothesis in Singapore : the roles of socioeconomic status, mass media, and interpersonal discussion on public knowledge of the H1N1 flu pandemic by Ho, Shirley S.

“…This study applies the knowledge gap hypothesis to examine the direct and interactive influence of socioeconomic status, mass media, and interpersonal discussion on public knowledge of the H1N1 flu pandemic in Singapore. Using a nationally representative random digit-dialing telephone survey of 1,055 adult Singaporeans, results show that attention to newspapers was not associated with a widened knowledge gap about the H1N1 pandemic between the high and low socioeconomic status individuals. …”
