Reducing stress of university students using music therapy by Wang, Xiao Heng

“…As for the timbre, there does not exist significant differences, as long as the listener is familiar with the music, the stress level is likely to decrease. This project has significant implications for the practice of music therapy in clinics, as it provides convincing evidence for the usage of certain music in reducing stress of university students. …”

We do not select, nor are we choosy: reproductive biology of Strepsiptera (Insecta) by Kathirithamby, J, Hrabar, M, Delgado, JA, Collantes, F, Dötterl, S, Windsor, D, Gries, G

“…Inferring from similarity between aedeagi of males either between congeners, heterogeners, or between species within the same taxonomic family, the same of which is true of the cephalothoraces of females, we predict that male–female conflict and a co-evolutionary morphological arms race between sexes is not likely to exist in most species of Strepsiptera. We then review the non-genitalic structures that play a role during sexual communication, and present details of copulatory behaviour. …”

Do we need economic inequality? by Dorling, D

“…What if, he asks, widespread economic inequality is actually just a passing phase, a feature of the capitalist transition from a settled rural way of life to our next highly urban steady-state? Is it really likely that we face a Blade Runner-style dystopian future divided between a tiny elite and an impoverished mass? …”

Descriptor learning for efficient retrieval by Philbin, J, Isard, M, Sivic, J, Zisserman, A

“…This paper aims to reduce these quantization errors at source, by learning a projection from descriptor space to a new Euclidean space in which standard clustering techniques are more likely to assign matching descriptors to the same cluster, and non-matching descriptors to different clusters.…”

The zinc-finger transcription factor Blimp1/Prdm1 is required for uterine remodelling and repair in the mouse by Xypolita, M, Goolam, M, Bikoff, EK, Robertson, EJ, Mould, AW

“…RNA-seq together with immunostaining experiments strongly suggest that the failure to up-regulate expression of the matrix metalloprotease Mmp10 in combination with insufficient suppression of BMP signalling, likely explain Blimp1-dependent phenotypic changes. …”

Compute North vs. Compute South: the uneven possibilities of compute-based AI governance around the globe by Lehdonvirta, V, Wú, B, Hawkins, Z

“…In this governance model, states that host AI compute capacity within their territorial jurisdictions are likely to be better placed to impose their rules on AI systems than states that do not. …”

Developing a framework for tracking antimicrobial resistance gene movement in a persistent environmental reservoir by Mathers, AJ, Li, TJX, He, Q, Narendra, S, Stoesser, N, Eyre, DW, Walker, AS, Barry, KE, Castañeda-Barba, S, Huang, FW, Parikh, H, Kotay, S, Crook, DW, Reidys, C

“…The Composite Sample Complex accounts for the co-occurrence of both plasmids and chromosomes within an isolate, and highlights likely gene donors and recipients. From the validated model, we demonstrate frequent transposition events of blaKPC from plasmids to other plasmids, as well as integration into the bacterial chromosome within specific drains. …”

Policies in parallel? A comparative study of journalistic AI policies in 52 global news organisations by Becker, KB, Simon, FM, Crum, C

“…Drawing from neo-institutional theory and institutional isomorphism, we argue that the policies show signs of homogeneity, likely explained by isomorphic dynamics arising as a response to the uncertainty created by the rise of generative AI after the release of ChatGPT in November 2022. …”

Naturalistic multimodal emotion data with deep learning can advance the theoretical understanding of emotion by Angkasirisan, T

“…This enduring fragmentation likely stems from the limitations of traditional research methods, which often adopt narrow methodological approaches. …”

Highlighting the role of biota in feedback loops from tundra ecosystems to the atmosphere by Schmidt, NM, Barrio, IC, Kristensen, JA, López-Blanco, E, van Beest, FM

“…However, biota may still play important roles in modulating ecosystem feedback loops, and by including these dynamics into ecosystem models, magnitude, accuracy and credibility of model projections are likely to improve.…”

Between personalized and racialized precision medicine : a relative resources perspective by Sun, Shirley

“…The author elaborates on the ‘heterogeneity of resources’ and suggests that the extent to which precision medicine will be personalized or racialized/ethnicized in the clinic will most likely be a function of the relative availability of resources – including but not limited to financial, human and computer informatics, and legal and infrastructural resources – at individual and collective levels in healthcare contexts.…”
