Freedom of Expression in Distributed Networks by Ejvind Hansen

“…This paper proposes the following question: Is it possible to transfer human rights like the freedom of expression – or at least to preserve the formal protections guarding speech acts from arbitrary suppression – in a post-national setting? The question arises as an urgent matter in the context of our global system of connected markets and distributed telecommunications networks – the Internet – since, as many academics and policy makers have noted, the two tend to undermine nationals boundaries, putting into question the power of individual states to continue function as the traditional legal and identity-generating entities of last resort.   …”

Sleep Fragmentation as a Diagnostic Biomarker of Traumatic Brain Injury by Grant S. Mannino, Christian R. Baumann, Mark R. Opp, Rachel K. Rowe

“…Critically, these metrics can be collected non-invasively, longitudinally, and in real-world settings using actigraphy, making them a practical complement to blood-based diagnostics that require biological sampling and specialized laboratory infrastructure. Our analysis demonstrates that sleep metrics collected over 48 h post-injury—specifically the number of sleep–wake transitions—carry a strong diagnostic signal. …”
