Legitimate power, illegitimate automation: the problem of ignoring legitimacy in automated decision systems by Stone, J, Mittelstadt, BD

“…This paper shows that when such questions are raised theorists often incorrectly conflate legitimacy with either public acceptance or other substantive values such as fairness, accuracy, expertise or efficiency. …”

Hypersensitivity to contingent behavior in paranoia: a new virtual reality paradigm by Fornells-Ambrojo, M, Elenbaas, M, Barker, C, Swapp, D, Navarro, X, Rovira, A, Sanahuja, JMT, Slater, M

“…Extreme paranoia is associated with hypersensitivity to noncontingent behavior, which might explain experiences of mistrust when others are not highly responsive in everyday social situations.…”

The rise and fall of Britain’s golden cohort: how the remarkable generation of 1925-1934 had their lives cut short by austerity by Hiam, L, Dorling, D

“…However, using the latest data from the Human Mortality Database, we show how the Golden Cohort’s luck changed in 2012 when their outstanding health record was reversed, cutting short most of their remarkable lives. …”

Rule Britannia: Brexit and the end of empire by Dorling, D, Tomlinson, S

“…Fuelled by a misplaced nostalgia, the result was driven by a lack of knowledge of our imperial history, by a profound anxiety about Britain’s status today, and by a deeply unrealistic vision of our future. <br> At a time when close relationships with our near neighbours are more crucial than ever before, Britain has opted to surrender its remaining influence and squander international goodwill. …”

Cerebellar-driven cortical dynamics can enable task acquisition, switching and consolidation by Pemberton, J, Chadderton, P, Costa, RP

“…Next, we demonstrate that, when trained in working memory tasks, the cerebellum can also underlie the maintenance of cognitive-specific dynamics in the cortex, explaining a range of optogenetic and behavioural observations. …”

Authenticity and other textual problems in Heroides 16 by Heyworth, S

“…Above all, weighty arguments have been used to question Ovid's authorship not just of some of these poems, as is the case with the single epistles (Heroides 1–15), but all of them; and if they are by Ovid, when do they belong in his career as a poet, and how might answers to these questions affect our interpretation of what we read? …”

Autonomised harming by Eggert, L

“…By illuminating what happens when we extend normative theory beyond its traditional boundaries, this discussion offers a starting point for assessing the moral permissibility of delegating consequential decisions to non-human, artificial agents.…”

An undue emphasis on rural older adults in the Chief Medical Officer's annual report 2023? by Cheetham, NJ, Dhesi, J, Hopper, A, Dowd, JB, Steves, CJ

“…Policy-makers need to consider both absolute and relative demographic trends as well as making use of direct measures of health when planning how healthcare services for older adults are distributed geographically in England.…”

Landmark−based screening: femoral head coverage and Graf Classification in infant developmental dysplasia of the hip by Clement, A, Singh, A, Voiculescu, I

“…In this method, Recall (Precision) improved when combining methods compared to FHC and Graf methods alone. …”

Reactive synthesis of dominant strategies by Aminof, B, De Giacomo, G, Rubin, S

“…We show that dominant strategies may exist when enforcing ones do not, while still sharing with the latter many desirable properties such as being interchangeable with each other, and being monotone with respect to tightening of environment specifications. …”

Collective reflective equilibrium, algorithmic bioethics and complex ethics by Savulescu, J

“…Resources should be provided to ensure people have a fair innings—when Harris first wrote this, around 70 years of life, but perhaps now 80. …”

CoTracker: it is better to track together by Karaev, N, Rocco, I, Graham, B, Neverova, N, Vedaldi, A, Rupprecht, C

“…However, it is trained utilizing unrolled windows as a recurrent network, maintaining tracks for long periods of time even when points are occluded or leave the field of view. …”

SimSC: a simple framework for semantic correspondence with temperature learning by Li, X, Han, K, Wan, X, Prisacariu, VA

“…We propose SimSC, a remarkably simple framework, to address the problem of semantic matching only based on the feature backbone. We discover that when fine-tuning ImageNet pre-trained backbone on the semantic matching task, L2 normalization of the feature map, a standard procedure in feature matching, produces an overly smooth matching distribution and significantly hinders the fine-tuning process. …”

Why renewable energy could be a chance for the GCC economies by El-Katiri, L

“…The GCC economies have come a long way since the onset of the age of oil. When the first oil well was struck in Jebel Dukhan in Bahrain in 1931, few would have forecast that the fortunes of the sheikhdoms along the Gulf would be so fundamentally shaped by a single energy commodity as has turned out to be the case. …”

Algebraic identifiability of partial differential equation models by Byrne, HM, Harrington, HA, Ovchinnikov, A, Pogudin, G, Rahkooy, H, Soto, P

“…Checking the global identifiability of model parameters is a useful tool when exploring the well-posedness of a given model. …”

Information structure and syntactic choices in Kelabit by Hemmings, CL

“…In each case, information structure is shown to be relevant: word order can be used to place focus before background information, nominative case is used for the uv actor when the actor is focused/contrasted and the undergoer is topic, and an unusual mapping between arguments and information structure roles (e.g. a focused actor or an undergoer topic) can trigger the choice of the respective voice construction. …”

Neural mechanisms of communicative innovation by Stolk, A, Verhagen, L, Schoffelen, J-M, Oostenveld, R, Blokpoel, M, Hagoort, P, Van Rooij, I, Toni, I

“…Using magnetoencephalography, we assess spectral, temporal, and spatial characteristics of neural activity evoked when people generate and understand novel shared symbols during live communicative interactions. …”

Vertex model with internal dissipation enables sustained flows by Rozman, J, Chaithanya, K, Yeomans, JM, Sknepnek, R

“…Here we extend an active nematic vertex model by replacing substrate friction with internal viscous dissipation, dominant in epithelia not supported by a substrate or the extracellular matrix, which are found in many early-stage embryos. When coupled to cell shape anisotropy, the internal viscous dissipation allows for long-range velocity correlations and thus enables the spontaneous emergence of flows with a large degree of spatiotemporal organisation. …”

Which special measure? A guide for adults giving evidence in cases of rape or sexual assault [Video] by Kyneswood, N

“…The video was made for education and training purposes, and as an aid for police, Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVAs) and legal professionals to use when guiding special measures conversations with adult victim-survivors. …”

A two sample size estimator for large data sets by O'Connell, M, Smith, HW, Thomassen, Ø
