The Great Disruption: How Machine Intelligence Will Transform the Role of Lawyers in the Delivery of Legal Services by J. O. Mcginnis, R. G. Pearce

“…Objective: to analyze the influence of machine intelligence on legal practice and services.Methods: dialectical approach to cognition of social phenomena, allowing to analyze them in the historical development and functioning in the context of a set of objective and subjective factors, which determined the choice of the following research methods: formal-logical, comparative-legal, state and legal modeling.Results: The market for electronic legal services is at a relatively early, yet significant, stage in terms of the disruptive effect of machine intelligence in undermining lawyers' monopoly. …”

Errors in hypothesis as a methodological reflection subject of a teacher-researcher by A. F. Zakirova

“…In addition to the existing ones, unconventional - special - requirements for scientific hypotheses are justified, aimed at updating their prognostic and diagnostic functions. The systematisation of hypothesis errors was carried out, which makes it possible to regulate reflexive scientific and pedagogical search, to carry out feedback in the process of methodological preparation and self-education, and to stimulate the development of scientifically justified heuristic pedagogical solutions. …”

Spring–neap tidal cycles modulate the strength of the carbon source at the estuary–coast interface by V. A. Macovei, L. C. V. Rewrie, R. Röttgers, Y. G. Voynova

“…Surprisingly, while the two example outer estuaries in this study differ with respect to the timing of the variability, the metabolic state progression, and the observed phytoplankton species distribution, an increase in the strength of the potential carbon source to the atmosphere occurs at both outer estuaries on roughly 14 d cycles, suggesting that this is an underlying characteristic essential for the correct estimation of carbon budgets in tidally driven estuaries and the nearby coastal regions. Understanding the functioning of estuarine systems and quantifying their effect on coastal seas should improve our current biogeochemical models and, therefore, future carbon exchange and budget predictability.…”

Impact and effect mechanisms of mass campaigns in resource-constrained health systems: quasi-experimental evidence from polio eradication in Nigeria by Olakunle Alonge, Svea Closser, Marco J Haenssgen

“…In contrast, regions with relatively strong health systems and few campaigns experienced beneficial effects on maternal healthcare service utilisation.Conclusions As we provide evidence that well-functioning health systems can benefit from mass campaigns under Global Health Initiatives, our work also challenges the established wisdom to intensify mass campaigns in weaker health systems to bypass service provision bottlenecks. …”
