The Reluctant Islamophobes: Multimedia Dissensus in the Hollywood Premodern by Elena Furlanetto

“…When the film’s different media pursue diverging politics, I speak of multimedia dissensus. In order to test this hypothesis, I focus on two films which explicitly champion diversity and aim to reverse the logics of Islamophobia by presenting tributes to Muslim culture or denunciations of Eurocentric discriminatory practices: Alejandro Amenábar’s Agora (2009) and Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven (2005). …”

Domain walls in super Yang-Mills: worldvolume TQFTs and deconfinement from semiclassics on ℝ3 × 𝕊1 by Andrew A. Cox

“…We find complete agreement between the two computations, providing thus a dynamical test of the proposed worldvolume TQFTs. We also propose a new worldvolume TQFT for E 6 domain walls, subjecting it to the same tests. …”

Trusted Measurement Model Based on Multitenant Behaviors by Zhen-Hu Ning, Chang-Xiang Shen, Yong Zhao, Peng Liang

“…Here, we first present the related work on multitenant behaviour; secondly, we give the scheme of behaviour measurement where decoupling of multitenants is taken into account; thirdly, we explicitly explain our decoupling algorithm for multitenants; fourthly, we introduce a new way of similarity calculation for deviation control, which fits the coupled multitenants under study well; lastly, we design the experiments to test our scheme.…”

Towards AI Copyright Equilibrium by Dermawan Artha

“…Drawing on Virginia Held’s typology of public interest theory, this article suggests that adjustments to the notion of public interest should include establishing a balance through either a majority of individual interests or empirical data; aligning with the collective interests that receive societal endorsement; and evaluating public interest based on normative content and moral judgment, utilizing the principle of enjoyment and the public perception test in copyright law. While various theoretical frameworks could be used to conceptualize public interest, the article proposes an approach that explicitly defines copyright objectives and harmonizes the rights of authors and performers with the public’s right to access creative works. …”

Evaluating the Negative Impacts of New Technologies on Intellectual Property Law Using Neutrosophic Z Numbers by Sandra Dayanara Correa Solis, Esther Maricela Coello Avilés, Jennifer Andrea Bravo Zapata

“…We introduce and empirically test an assessment methodology using newly formulated Neutrosophic Z-numbers, which explicitly incorporate truth, indeterminacy, and falsity, along with their respective reliabilities. …”

Lutte symbolique, recours à l’étranger et consécration transnationale. Sartre et ses modèles américains by Anna Boschetti

“…Sartre’s effort to assimilate the achievements of American novelists, notably Faulkner, Hemingway and Dos Passos, played a major role in his literary apprenticeship. By explicitly emphasizing this filiation, he distinguished himself from his predecessors and from competitors he faced in his own country. …”

Field Experiments for Wind Loads on a Low-Rise Building with Adjustable Pitch by Peng Huang, Xu Wang, Ming Gu

“…Besides, two pieces of time-histories of ten-minute-length wind pressures are analyzed at 0° and 20° roof pitches respectively to compare with those of a wind tunnel test on a rigid model of 1 : 30 scale. The results show that the tendency for the mean and fluctuating wind pressure distributions between the two kinds of tests is nearly similar.…”

Boosting Software Fault Prediction: Addressing Class Imbalance With Enhanced Ensemble Learning by Hanan Sharif Alsorory, Mohammad Alshraideh

“…The experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of E_BB, ROSBoost, and E_EE over their base models, achieving the highest F-measure, balanced accuracy, and AUC. Statistical tests, such as the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, provide robust support for the enhanced models, highlighting their practical significance through substantial improvements in F-measure and AUC, as indicated by low negative rank sums and large effect sizes.…”

Maximizing expectancy violation and exposure outcomes in patients with PTSD by Marike J. Kooistra, Maartje Schoorl, Danielle A. C. Oprel, Willem van der Does, Rianne A. de Kleine

“…The clinical utility of expectancy violation remains unclear and it has not yet been studied in PTSD.Objective: We aimed to test whether explicitly focusing on expectancy violation leads to superior exposure outcomes.Method: Adult treatment-seeking patients with PTSD (N = 60) were randomly assigned to one 90-minute exposure session focusing on either expectancy violation or a control condition without an expectancy focus. …”

Generalizable and automated classification of TNM stage from pathology reports with external validation by Jenna Kefeli, Jacob Berkowitz, Jose M. Acitores Cortina, Kevin K. Tsang, Nicholas P. Tatonetti

“…Our final model goes beyond term-extraction, inferring TNM stage from context when it is not included in the report text explicitly. As external validation, we test our model on almost 8000 pathology reports from Columbia University Medical Center, finding that our trained model achieved an AU-ROC of 0.815–0.942. …”
