[1] Kelso claimed that in a truly free market wages would tend to fall over time, with all the benefits of technological progress accruing to capital owners.[ citation needed ]\n\nOverview[edit]\nBinary economics rejects the claim that neoclassical economics alone promotes a 'free market' which is free, fair and efficient. (e.g., as an interpretation of the classical First Fundamental Theorem of Welfare Economics). Binary economists believe freedom is only truly achieved if all individuals are able to acquire an independent economic base from capital holdings, and that the distribution of ownership rights can \"deepen democracy\". [2] \n Binary economics argues financial savings prior to investment are not required on the basis that the present money supply is mostly created credit anyway. [3] It argues that newly minted money invested on behalf of those without access to existing cash savings or collateral can be adequately repaid through the returns on those investments, which need not be inflationary if the economy is operating below capacity. The theory asserts that what matters is whether the newly created money is interest-free, whether it can be repaid, whether there is effective collateral and whether it goes towards the development and spreading of various forms of productive (and the associated consuming) capacity.[ citation needed ]\n Another contrast is that, in ev", "model_trace": "Yes, this web page is useful for the query \"finance theories challenging existing models\".

Interest rates may go negative and may remain in negative territory. Under these conditions this money may improve the economy and transform the global financial system. There is reason to believe that this can happen and this research aims to explain why and how. Silvio Gesell was the first to propose a holding fee on money in his work The Natural Economic Order. For that reason this money is called Natural Money. \nInterest-free means that the maximum nominal interest rate on loans is zero. There is a fee on holding central bank currency that may range from 0.5% to 1% per month. The holding fee doesn't apply on money lent and investments. This can make it attractive to invest or to lend out money at interest rates below zero. Cash will become a separate currency backed by loans to the government so that the holding fee doesn't apply on cash ant cash is not attractive to hoard at the same time. \nWhy may interest rates remain negative? The graph to the right shows how total income and interest income develop with an economic growth rate of 2% and an interest rate of 5% when interest income starts out as 10% of total income and all interest income is reinvested. After 25 years the economic pie has grown faster than interest income so that wages have risen. At some point interest income starts to increase faster than total income, and wages go down. After 80 years there's nothing left for wages. \nThe example is insightful because returns on capital have mostly exceeded economic growth and capitalists tend to save and invest while ordinary people tend to borrow and spend. It shows how wealth and income inequality can increase and why this could harm the economy in the end. Wages have lagged in recent decades and business profits have been propped up by allowing ordinary people to go deeper into debt.

Although this is a fundamental split, many other theories attempt to explain and influence the market,\u00a0as well as the actions of investors in the markets.\n Key Takeaways\n Financial markets have been described by formal economic models that draw from several theoretical frameworks, The most ubiquitous model, the efficient markets hypothesis, remains subject to debate since reality doesn't always conform to the theoretical assumptions.

The EMH states that the market price for shares incorporates all the known information about that stock. This means that the stock is accurately valued until a future event changes that valuation. Because the future is uncertain, an adherent to EMH is far better off owning a wide swath of stocks and profiting from the general rise of the market. You either believe in it and adhere to passive, broad market investing strategies, or you detest it and focus on picking stocks based on growth potential, undervalued assets, and so on.\n Opponents of EMH point to Warren Buffett and other investors who have consistently beaten the market by finding irrational prices within the overall market. \n 2.\u00a0Fifty-Percent Principle \n The fifty-percent principle predicts that (before continuing)\u00a0an observed trend will undergo a price correction of one-half to two-thirds of the change in price.

Modern Portfolio Theory: A Paradigm Shift in Investment Strategy \nModern Portfolio Theory (MPT), introduced by Harry Markowitz in his 1952 paper and later refined in his 1959 book \u201cPortfolio Selection: Efficient Diversification of Investments,\u201d represents a significant shift in the approach to investment portfolio construction. Central to MPT is the concept of diversification as a tool to manage investment risk and improve returns. Markowitz\u2019s theory postulates that it is not sufficient to look at the expected risk and return of individual securities in isolation. Instead, what matters most is how each security interacts with others in the context of the entire portfolio. This interaction is quantified through correlations between asset returns.\nThe cornerstone of MPT is the efficient frontier, a graph that plots the best possible expected return for a given level of risk, based on historical returns. This frontier is constructed by mathematically calculating the risk (standard deviation) and return (mean) for every possible combination of assets in a given portfolio. The portfolios that form the efficient frontier represent the optimal mix of risk and return. This means for each level of risk, there is a portfolio that offers the highest expected return, and for each level of return, there is a portfolio that offers the lowest risk.\nMPT encourages investors to consider the entire spectrum of their investments collectively, rather than in isolation. By integrating assets that have low or negative correlations with one another, investors can reduce the overall volatility of the portfolio. The rationale is that when some investments are underperforming, others will compensate with better performance, thereby reducing the impact of market volatility. This concept led to the widespread adoption of asset allocation strategies that balance holdings across various asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and cash.\nHowever, MPT is not without its criticisms and limitations.

In many ways, the Asian region is now regarded undeniably of strong global interest for its pioneering developments across various aspects of Internet and associated digital technologies and cultures, especially mobile technology (It\u014d et al., 2005). In recent years, this has spanned: the rise and rise of smartphones and apps, including the emergence of Asian \u2018super apps\u2019 (Goggin, 2021); the post-mobile society phenomena in countries such as Japan; the imaginaries of Internet, digital societies and economies in many countries, encapsulated in phases like Singapore\u2019s \u2018Smart Nation\u2019, \u2018Digital India\u2019, \u2018China 2035\u2019 and South Korea\u2019s \u2018Digital New Deal\u2019; not to mention, Asian digital capitalism, economies, and platforms (Hong, 2017; Jin, 2015; Steinberg, 2019).

Users can change both their opinions and social connections based on the information to which they are exposed through sharing.

It remains elusive how exactly public discourse is driven by the intricate interplay between individual socio-cognitive biases, dueling campaign efforts, and social media platforms. We examine this complex sociopolitical process by integrating observed retweet networks from the 2016 political networks with an agentbased model of political opinion formation and network structure. Here we show that the range of political viewpoints individuals are willing to consider is a key determinant in the formation of polarized networks and the emergence of echo chambers. We also find that winning majority support in public discourse is determined by both the effort exerted by campaigns and the relative ideological positioning of opposing campaigns. Our results demonstrate how public discourse and political polarization can be modeled as an interactive process of shifting individual opinions, evolving social networks, and political campaigns.\n\nIntroduction\n\nPeople are more likely to accept claims that are coherent with their pre-existing beliefs [1].

Digital communication is ever so pervasive in our societies, as the online and offline worlds become increasingly entangled. In online social platforms, similar-minded users tend to gather, and form strongly opinionated communities. These so-called echo chambers are particularly salient in polarised debates regarding politics, societal issues or conspiracy theories, and tend to foster animosity between opposite sides and fuel reinforcement of pre-existing beliefs. The political and informational landscapes are significantly affected, turning the regulation of echo chambers into a crucial matter of cybersecurity.

In the last few years, echo chambers have become a primary focus of research on opinion dynamics and in- formation diffusion, with a plethora of models amenable to shed light on empirical studies. There is however a lack of principled methods to efficiently steer the echo chamber effect.\nIn this PhD thesis I develop two mathematical models to describe, quantify and control the echo chamber effect: a macroscopic one based on group-level dynamics, and a microscopic one incorporating user-level features.

Despite increasing efforts, the dynamics leading to the emergence of these phenomena stay unclear. We propose a model that introduces the dynamics of radicalization, as a reinforcing mechanism driving the evolution to extreme opinions from moderate initial conditions. Inspired by empirical findings on social interaction dynamics, we consider agents characterized by heterogeneous activities and homophily. We show that the transition between a global consensus and emerging radicalized states is mostly governed by social influence and by the controversialness of the topic discussed. Compared with empirical data of polarized debates on Twitter, the model qualitatively reproduces the observed relation between users' engagement and opinions, as well as opinion segregation in the interaction network.

Abstract Since the beginning of the 21st Century, synthetic biology has established itself as an effective technological approach to design and engineer biological systems. Whilst research and investment continues to develop the understanding, control and engineering infrastructural platforms necessary to tackle ever more challenging systems \u2014 and to increase the precision, robustness, speed and affordability of existing solutions \u2014 hundreds of start-up companies, predominantly in the US and UK, are already translating learnings and potential applications into commercially viable tools, services and products. Start-ups and SMEs have been the predominant channel for synthetic biology commercialisation to date, facilitating rapid response to changing societal interests and market pull arising from increasing awareness of health and global sustainability issues. Private investment in start-ups across the US and UK is increasing rapidly and now totals over $12bn. Health-related biotechnology applications have dominated the commercialisation of products to date, but significant opportunities for the production of bio-derived materials and chemicals, including consumer products, are now being developed. Synthetic biology start-ups developing tools and services account for between 10% (in the UK) and \u223c25% (in the US) of private investment activity. Around 20% of synthetic biology start-ups address industrial biotechnology targets, but currently, only attract \u223c11% private investment. Adopting a more networked approach \u2014 linking specialists, infrastructure and ongoing research to de-risk the economic challenges of scale-up and supported by an effective long-term funding strategy \u2014 is set to transform the impact of synthetic biology and industrial biotechnology in the bioeconomy.

Abstract In synthetic biology, biological cells and processes are dismantled and reassembled to make novel systems that do useful things. Designs are encoded by deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA); DNA makes biological (bio-)parts; bioparts are combined to make devices; devices are built into biological systems. Computers are used at all stages of the Design\u2013Build\u2013Test\u2013Learn cycle, from mathematical modelling through to the use of robots for the automation of assembly and experimentation. Synthetic biology applies engineering principles of standardisation, modularity, and abstraction, enabling fast prototyping and the ready exchange of designs between synthetic biologists working around the world. Like toy building blocks, compatible modular designs enable bioparts to be combined and optimised easily; biopart specifications are shared in open registries. Synthetic biology is made possible due to major advances in DNA sequencing and synthesis technologies, and through knowledge gleaned in the field of systems biology.

Monitoring Editor: Alexander Muacevic and John R Adler Abstract Adolescents increasingly find it difficult to picture their lives without social media. Practitioners need to be able to assess risk, and social media may be a new component to consider. Although there is limited empirical evidence to support the claim, the perception of the link between social media and mental health is heavily influenced by teenage and professional perspectives. Privacy concerns, cyberbullying, and bad effects on schooling and mental health are all risks associated with this population's usage of social media. However, ethical social media use can expand opportunities for connection and conversation, as well as boost self-esteem, promote health, and gain access to critical medical information. Despite mounting evidence of social media's negative effects on adolescent mental health, there is still a scarcity of empirical research on how teens comprehend social media, particularly as a body of wisdom, or how they might employ wider modern media discourses to express themselves. Youth use cell phones and other forms of media in large numbers, resulting in chronic sleep loss, which has a negative influence on cognitive ability, school performance, and socio-emotional functioning. According to data from several cross-sectional, longitudinal, and empirical research, smartphone and social media use among teenagers relates to an increase in mental distress, self-harming behaviors, and suicidality. Clinicians can work with young people and their families to reduce the hazards of social media and smartphone usage by using open, nonjudgmental, and developmentally appropriate tactics, including education and practical problem-solving.

The dynamics of preoccupation and craving, loss of alternative interests, social retreat, tolerance, withdrawal and loss of control causing negative consequences that some (vulnerable) individuals experience in relation to the overuse of specific online contents have led many researchers and clinicians to view this phenomenon as being related to an addiction syndrome. Indeed, several studies have reported similarities with substance-use disorders regarding its phenomenology and underlying neurobiological mechanisms (Duven et al., 2014, Ko et al., 2013, Kuss and Griffiths, 2012). Likewise, the concept of non-substance related addictions has become popular (Frascella, Potenza, Brown, & Childress, 2010). Therefore, the term Internet Addiction (IA) has been proposed to describe the phenomenon of excessive, uncontrolled usage of specific online-applications (e.g. online-gaming, use of online-pornography or social networking sites). In their decision in 2013, the APA (2013) included Internet Gaming Disorder as one common sub-type from the umbrella-term IA into the appendix of the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition; APA (2013); cf. (Petry & O'Brien, 2013)). While this decision was generally appreciated, it has also been criticized that types of IA not related to gaming were ignored. The APA explained their decision by pointing out that scientific evidence regarding online-gaming by far exceeds other types of IA and stressed the need for more research in order to allow for an estimation of their health-related impact. Indeed, empirical investigations on specific sub-types of IA are scarce.

This week, 33 US states sued Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, for knowingly using psychologically manipulative\u00a0features to keep teens scrolling on the platforms.\nThe lawsuits come on the heels of growing research indicating a troubling link between social networking and mental health challenges, ranging from distress to major depression. Research has also been zeroing in on the effects of teen social media consumption on the adolescent brain. Social media addiction appears to be a type of\u00a0behavioral addiction, and adolescents are at the highest risk.\n\u201cAdolescence is second only to infancy when it comes to growth. Therefore, the impact of social media on a developing teen\u2019s mind and body can be huge,\u201d says Kristin Wilson, MA, LPC, Newport\u2019s Chief Experience Officer.\nAccording to a\u00a0Common Sense Media report, the latest teen social media stats indicate that adolescents\u2019 use of social media is increasing. But they\u2019re getting less enjoyment out of it. \nAddiction could play a role in their scrolling behaviors. Here are some of the latest statistics from the new report:\n84 percent of teens use social media, and 62 percent of teens use it every day.\nOn average, teens spend 1 hour and 27 minutes a day scrolling social media, an increase of 17 minutes from 2019.\nOnly one-third of teens say they enjoy social media \u201ca lot,\u201d down from 40 percent in 2019.\n42 percent of teen girls say they enjoy social media, compared with 27 percent of teen boys.\nGirls are also more likely than boys to use social media every day (68 percent vs. 57 percent).\nInstagram, TikTok, and Snapchat are the most popular social media sites for teens.\nUse of social media among tweens went up by 7 percentage points between 2019 and 2021, from 31 to 38 percent.\n Research\u00a0shows that teenagers\u2019 use of social media goes hand in hand with increased\u00a0teen depression\u00a0and\u00a0lower levels of life satisfaction.

Because teens\u2019 brains and social skills are rapidly developing, they are particularly susceptible to the addictiveness of social media.\n\u201cThe overuse of social media can actually rewire a young child or teen\u2019s brain to constantly seek out immediate gratification, leading to obsessive, compulsive and addictive behaviors,\u201d says DeAngelis. \u201cThis is what can make mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, ADHD and body dysmorphia worse.\u201d\nAdolescents who use social media from a very young age are more in danger of developing these disorders and future addictive behaviors. DeAngelis says, \u201cIt\u2019s extremely important that parents and guardians of young children and teens pay attention to the symptoms of these mental health disorders and take note if their child is spending too much time on their screen or begins to lie about their internet use.\u201d\n How Parents and Guardians Can Help \nFortunately, parents and guardians who notice these effects on their children can take several measures to help them develop a healthy relationship with social media instead. Try these strategies:\nHelp your teen develop effective coping mechanisms and strategies to manage their stress, anxiety, frustration or sadness. This can include exercise, team sports or talk therapy. Try to get them outside to experience nature, if possible.\nWork with your teen to manage their screen time. Communicate with them and agree on healthy boundaries to help them reorient their relationship with social media from escapism and distraction to a tool for enjoyment or information. Encourage and empower them to practice these boundaries on their own with your support.\nAgree on long-term goals and strategies to help your teen sustain a healthy relationship with social media.

A cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of secondary school students (N = 258); participants were asked to complete an online survey, investigating social media addiction (BSMAS), self-esteem (RSES), feelings of isolation (CSIQ-A) and anxiety (STAI-Y). Data analysis (descriptive statistics, correlational and regression analyses) was conducted through XLSTAT software \u00a9. An additional ad hoc questionnaire was administrated. Findings showed that the 11% of the participants were significantly addicted to social media, mostly females (59%).

The latest in a series of duels announced by the European Commission is with Bing, Microsoft\u2019s search engine. Brussels suspects that the giant based in Redmond, Washington, has failed to properly moderate content produced by the generative AI systems on Bing, Copilot, and Image Creator, and that as a result, it may have violated the Digital Services Act (DSA), one of Europe\u2019s latest digital regulations. On May 17, the EU summit requested company documents to understand how Microsoft handled the spread of hallucinations (inaccurate or nonsensical answers produced by AI), deepfakes, and attempts to improperly influence the upcoming European Parliament elections. At the beginning of June, voters in the 27 states of the European Union will choose their representatives to the European Parliament, in a campaign over which looms the ominous shadow of technology with its potential to manipulate the outcome. The commission has given Microsoft until May 27 to respond, only days before voters go to the polls. If there is a need to correct course, it may likely be too late.

But privately his administration has leaned on the company to help craft a new policy to allow electric vehicles (EVs) to benefit from the nation's lucrative renewable fuel subsidies, according to emails reviewed by Reuters. The Biden administration contacted Tesla on its first day in office, marking the start of a series of meetings on the topic between federal officials and companies linked to the EV industry over the months that followed, according to the emails. The administration's early and extensive outreach reflects that expanding the scope of the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) to make it a tool for electrifying the nation's automobile fleet is one of Biden's priorities in the fight against climate change. The RFS, which dates back to 2005, is a federal program that requires transportation fuel sold in the United States to contain a minimum volume of renewable fuels. Until now, it has been primarily a subsidy for corn-based ethanol. Latest Updates View 2 more stories The White House's outreach to Tesla also shows that, despite a public grudge match between Biden and Tesla founder Elon Musk, the Biden team tried early on to involve the carmaker in one of its key policy pushes. Biden has set a target to make half of all new vehicles sold in 2030 zero-emissions vehicles. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which administers the RFS, is expected to unveil proposed changes to the policy sometime this year, defining new winners and losers in a multibillion-dollar market for credits, known as RINs, that has supported corn growers and biofuels producers for more than a decade. Early signs are that the administration is leaning toward a rule that benefits carmakers like Tesla, giving them the greatest access to so-called e-RINS, or electric RINs.

Besides the safety of these flashlights, it's probably much more important to choose the right 'type'. We are talking about Throw, EDC, Tactical, Keychain, or a hybrid of them.\n18650 EDC flashlights are some of the most common and most popular flashlights because of their compact size and still amazing power. They also are significantly more powerful than other rechargeable types of flashlight batteries, including AA and AAA batteries. An 18650 flashlight allows you to increase the brightness by 3 times, when compared to NiMH-based (D, C, AA, and AAA) flashlights with the same number of batteries. And because of this, 18650 batteries are also some of the most cost-effective batteries to own. 18650 flashlights are also very affordable these days, so you can get one for a pretty good price.\nSome of the most popular brands are Acebeam, Astrolux, Convoy, Fenix, Olight, Lumintop, Nitecore, and Sofirn.\nHow do I choose a 18650 flashlight?\nAs I mentioned above, it is important to know why and how you want to use a flashlight. Do you want to store it in your car, keep it for around the house, or have it with you the whole time (EDC)? Do you want to have long battery life, shine far, blind an intruder, or just have something powerful in your pocket? Do you want 3 modes, 10 modes, ramping mode, a lock-out feature, warm white, cold white beam, strobe, tactical? There are just so many variables.\nThere is not 1 answer to all these questions. Read the reviews of the flashlights that look the most interesting to you, and then decide what is essential for you, in your situation.\nWhen you know what type of flashlight you are after, check out our buyer's guides: https://1lumen.com/flashlight-guide/ .

If not, it gets stashed away until some holiday or spring-cleaning project. Cuisinart's line of air fryer toaster oven combos gets a lot of attention, but all are not created equal.

The TOA-60 model is a completely manual interface with four knobs that toggle temperature, time, presets and function. The TOA-65 is a digital interface with buttons that allow you to set the temperature, toggle the presets and functions and set the timer.\n\nWhen it comes to functionality, the TOA-65 allows for more precise cooking than the TOA-60. We prefer having the ability to set an exact temperature in five-degree incriments on the TOA-65, rather than using the TOA-60 knob that can only toggle in 50-degree incriments.\n\nPlus, when we tested the cooking functionality, the TOA-65 outperformed the TOA-60 on practically every single test. The TOA-65 made golden-brown toast, perfectly cooked chicken, well-baked cookies and easily air fried frozen fries. The TOA-60, on the other hand, we found cooked on the hotter side. Fries, cookies and chicken all experienced some burning before the cooking times completed. And we found the toast settings did not churn out well-cooked toast as we would have expected.\n\nThe TOA-65 is a more expensive model than the TOA-60, but we feel that the higher price is worth the better performance.

Over time, these small but mighty appliances have evolved to go far beyond making a great piece of toast. They can roast vegetables, bake cookies, broil burgers, and reheat leftovers. Newer models even have features like air-frying and slow cooking; they can also work as a convection oven or dehydrator.\nThat means a good toaster oven can now \u201creheat casseroles, turn out a whole chicken, and bake a pizza with a crispy crust,\u201d says Kenneth Sutton, the CR test engineer who oversees our toaster oven tests. And with the right technique, you can even cook an impressive meal (like these Caribbean dishes) and bring leftovers back to their original glory.\nBecause of its small capacity, a toaster oven heats up quickly, so it can replace the daily use of a conventional oven for smaller families and singles. Toaster ovens also come in handy when your kitchen stove is maxed out while entertaining.\nBut some work better than others.

Toaster ovens with an air fryer function (or with convection) typically cost more than conventional toaster ovens. We looked for models that let you adjust the convection fan\u2019s strength or turn it off completely, for more control when you cook. Air fryer toaster ovens can fit more than most pod-shaped air fryers\u2014everything from whole chickens to 9-inch cakes. \nIf you want to save counter space, spend less, or cook smaller portions of food at a time, you may still want to consider getting a pod-shaped air fryer.

The combination of killer shots and powerful narration can transport us around the world without ever having to leave our comfy couches.\n Some of these stories wordlessly follow conflicts in the animal kingdom, while others have a lot to say about the mechanizations of Earth, the state of our climate, and how humans are inextricably connected to the world around us.\u00a0\n Here is EW\u2019s list of the 15 best nature documentaries and docuseries.\n \n \u201cPlanet Earth\u201d (2006) \n \n BBC/Youtube \n \n For nature documentary lovers, Planet Earth is an important part of television history. It was the BBC\u2019s first high-definition doc, and it still looks gorgeous all these years later. The dulcet tones of David Attenborough guide us through a different part of the planet in each episode, treating our home with the majestic reverence (and huge budget) typically reserved for blockbuster films. Planet Earth went on to spawn multiple sequels that are amazing in their own right, but for our money, nothing beats the epic scope and sheer creativity of the original.\n Where to watch Planet Earth: Max\n \n \u201cHome\u201d (2009) \n \n BBC/Youtube \n \n Planet Earth walked so that Home could run \u2014 or should we say fly. Director Yann Arthus-Bertrand\u2019s documentary consists largely of aerial shots that help us see the Earth from an angle typically reserved for birds. Of course, this film will also inspire worry for said birds and other wildlife; much of the narrative focuses on the potentially irrevocable ecological harm human activity is doing to the world and its many living creatures. That makes for a sobering watch, but these breathtaking views help the medicine of the message go down a bit easier.\n Where to watch Home: Amazon Prime Video (to rent)\n \n \u201cMy Octopus Teacher\u201d (2020) \n \n Netflix \n \n Winner of the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, My Octopus Teacher is a story about connection told by a free-diving film", "model_trace": "Yes, this web page is useful for the query \"the most beautiful and visually stunning nature documentary on Amazon Prime\".

A stunning television experience that captures rare action, impossible locations and intimate moments with our planet's best-loved, wildest and most elusive creatures.

Planet Earth takes you to places you have never seen before, to experience sights and sounds you may never experience anywhere else. ]]> Amazon.com As of its release in early 2007, Planet Earth is quite simply the greatest nature/wildlife series ever produced. Following the similarly monumental achievement of The Blue Planet: Seas of Life , this astonishing 11-part BBC series is brilliantly narrated by Sir David Attenborough and sensibly organized so that each 50-minute episode covers a specific geographical region and/or wildlife habitat (mountains, caves, deserts, shallow seas, seasonal forests, etc.) until the entire planet has been magnificently represented by the most astonishing sights and sounds you'll ever experience from the comforts of home. The premiere episode, "From Pole to Pole," serves as a primer for things to come, placing the entire series in proper context and giving a general overview of what to expect from each individual episode.

These models work well enough to make climate projections that guide global policy. But the models rely on powerful supercomputers, take weeks to run and are energy-intensive. A typical model consumes up to 10 megawatt hours of energy to simulate a century of climate, says Schneider. On average, that is about the amount of electricity used annually by a US household.

Despite the maturity of ensemble numerical weather prediction (NWP), the resulting forecasts are still, more often than not, under-dispersed. As such, forecast calibration tools have become popular. Among those tools, quantile regression (QR) is highly competitive in terms of both flexibility and predictive performance. Nevertheless, a QR long-standing problem is quantile crossing, which greatly limits the interpretability of QR-calibrated forecasts. On this point, this study proposes a non-crossing quantile regression neural network (NCQRNN), for calibrating ensemble NWP forecasts into a set of reliable quantile forecasts without crossing. According to the study, the NCQRNN model modifies the traditional QRNN structure by adding a new layer that preserves the rank order of output nodes, such that the lower quantiles are constrained to be perpetually smaller than higher ones without losing accuracy. \"Our NCQRNN model maintains the natural order of forecast values, ensuring lower quantiles stay smaller than higher ones. This boosts accuracy and significantly improves forecast interpretability,\" said Yang Dazhi, a professor at Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT).

Population vulnerability also matters, but increasing incomes seem to be associated first with greater and then lesser vulnerability.

Post-quantum cryptography, also known as quantum-proof cryptography, aims to create encryption methods that cannot be broken by algorithms, or calculations, that run on future quantum computers. Today's encryption methods will not necessarily remain secure if and when quantum computers become a reality. Take RSA cryptography: RSA is a widely used secure data-transmission system on which things like internet browsers and digital signature software are built. It creates sets of public and private codes, or keys. The process happens in the background when you use an internet browser or sign a document using a digital signature, for example. In RSA, the private key, which is kept secret, consists of two large prime numbers generated by an algorithm. The product of those two numbers then is used, along with an exponent, to create the public key, also using an algorithm. Anyone can encrypt information using the public key, but once they have, the information can only be decrypted using the private key. The encryption system relies on the fact that it is prohibitively time consuming and computationally intensive to factor the large integer in the public key to determine the two prime numbers that make up the private key.

This fundamental distinction empowers quantum computers to tackle complex problems exponentially faster than their classical counterparts.\n Current State of Data Encryption \n Data encryption serves as the cornerstone of digital security, safeguarding sensitive information from unauthorized access. Widely adopted encryption methods like RSA (Rivest\u2013Shamir\u2013Adleman) and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) have played pivotal roles in securing communication channels, financial transactions, and sensitive data storage. The importance of encryption in today\u2019s interconnected world cannot be overstated, as it forms the backbone of secure communication and data integrity.\n Quantum Computing\u2019s Potential Impact \nWhile quantum computing heralds a new era of computational capabilities, its advent also poses a formidable challenge to traditional encryption schemes. Quantum algorithms such as Shor\u2019s algorithm have the potential to unravel the cryptographic foundations upon which modern security protocols rely. Shor\u2019s algorithm, for instance, can efficiently factorize large integers, rendering widely used encryption methods like RSA vulnerable to exploitation.\nThe concept of quantum supremacy further accentuates the transformative power of quantum computing. Quantum supremacy refers to the point at which a quantum computer can outperform the most powerful classical supercomputers in specific computational tasks.

Abstract It is critical to ensure the safe disposal of organic residues, especially because the accumulation of organic wastes contributes to environmental contamination; spread of diseases, unpleasant odors; and the release of ammonia and other dangerous gases in the environment. Consequently, researchers are considering various direct organic waste applications, including biotechnological applications with ecological and economical benefits such as the limitation of fossil fuel usage, lowering harmful emissions, boosting the synthesis of cost-effective raw materials, and establishing a suitable platform for a diversity of microorganisms. Biotechnology has produced sustainable bioenergy (biogas, biodiesel, bioethanol, and biobutanol), which is an appealing solution for the disposal of organic materials. Carbohydrates are the main component of the organic fraction, and the bulk of these polymers are easily degradable by microorganisms. Taking random samples from soils exposed to organic wastes, purifying the microbial isolates, and evaluating the microbes\u2019 capabilities to identify the most useful strain are all part of the isolation process. As a result, this current review focuses on isolated strains of various microorganisms that may use one or more types of organic wastes as the sole carbon source, and to manufacture biofuel as a product from various residues.

Simultaneously, the usage of digital health technologies is rising, there has been an expansion of data in all healthcare settings. If properly harnessed, healthcare practitioners could focus on the causes of illness and keep track of the success of preventative measures and interventions. As a result, policymakers, legislators, and other decision-makers should be aware of this. For this to happen, computer and data scientists and clinical entrepreneurs argue that one of the most critical aspects of healthcare reform will be artificial intelligence (AI), especially machine learning (1). Artificial intelligence (AI) is a term used in computing to describe a computer program's capacity to execute tasks associated with human intelligence, such as reasoning and learning. It also includes processes such as adaptation, sensory understanding, and interaction. Traditional computational algorithms, simply expressed, are software programmes that follow a set of rules and consistently do the same task, such as an electronic calculator: \u201cif this is the input, then this is the output.\u201d On the other hand, an AI system learns the rules (function) through training data (input) exposure. AI has the potential to change healthcare by producing new and essential insights from the vast amount of digital data created during healthcare delivery (2).\nAI is typically implemented as a system comprised of both software and hardware. From a software standpoint, AI is mainly concerned with algorithms. An artificial neural network (ANN) is a conceptual framework for developing AI algorithms. It's a human brain model made up of an interconnected network of neurons connected by weighted communication channels.

Introduction Artificial intelligence (AI) is a term applied to a machine or software and refers to its capability of simulating intelligent human behavior, instantaneous calculations, problem-solving, and evaluation of new data based on previously assessed data (1). AI heavily influences many industries and fields, including agriculture and farming, manufacturing and production, autonomous vehicles, fashion, sports analytics and activities, healthcare, and the medical system. This technology has the power to impact the future of the industry and human beings, but it is a double-edged sword. AI applications in healthcare have literally changed the medical field, including imaging and electronic medical records (EMR), laboratory diagnosis, treatment, augmenting the intelligence of the physicians, new drug discovery, providing preventive and precision medicine, biological extensive data analysis, speeding up processes, data storage and access for health organizations. However, this field of science faces various ethical and legal challenges. Despite tremendous strides made in the field of AI in communities, and its role in improving the treatment process, it is not accessible to all societies. Many low-income and developing countries still do not have access to the latest technologies.

A technical advance based on an edible salt used in the manufacture of tofu could revolutionise the production of future solar panels to make them less expensive, more flexible and easier to use than the current models seen on millions of roofs across Britain. Researchers believe they have found a way of overcoming one of the most serious limitations of the next generation of solar panels, which are based on toxic cadmium chloride, by simply adding magnesium chloride, an abundant salt found in seawater. A study has shown that the solar cells produced with magnesium chloride \u2013 which is also found in bath salts as well as used to coagulate soya milk into tofu \u2013 work just as efficiently as conventional cadmium cells but at a fraction of the cost and with much lower toxicity. \u201cWe certainly believe it\u2019s going to make a big change to the costs of these devices.

This astonishing acceleration in efficiency gains comes from a special breed of next-generation solar technology: perovskite tandem solar cells. These cells layer the traditional silicon with materials that share a unique crystal structure. In the decade that scientists have been toying with perovskite solar technology, it has continued to best its own efficiency records, which measure how much of the sunlight that hits the cell is converted into electricity.

Today\u2019s solar panels use silicon-based cells but are rapidly approaching their maximum conversion of sunlight to electricity of 29%. At the same time, the installation rate of solar power needs to increase tenfold in order to tackle the climate crisis, according to scientists. The breakthrough is adding a layer of perovskite, another semiconductor, on top of the silicon layer.

Abstract This paper places the COVID-19 pandemic into perspective by comparing it to other recent disasters in terms of impacts on the macroeconomy of the U.S. We present a short summary of advances in the state-of-the-art of economic consequence analysis, as well as estimates this approach yields on economic impacts of 9/11, a variety of natural disasters, the Great Recession, and COVID-19. The prevention of these negative impacts represents the benefits of various types of risk management tactics and strategies. In light of the enormously greater economic impact of COVID-19 as compared to natural and man-made disasters, it is reasonable to question whether adequate investments are being made to prevent future pandemics. Keywords: COVID-19, September 11, Macroeconomic impacts, Natural disasters, Comparative analysis 1.\u2003Introduction The U.S. economy has been struck by several major shocks during the first two decades of this century. In addition to typical types of natural disasters, it has suffered the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Great Recession, and COVID-19. The pandemic has felt overwhelming in many ways, including hospitalizations and deaths, major slowdowns in economic activity, and dramatic lifestyle changes. It is useful to place the pandemic into perspective by comparing it to other recent disasters in terms of impacts on the macroeconomy, as typically measured by GDP, and on material well-being of the population, as typically measured by economic welfare. This brief paper provides this comparison. It also serves as a bounding exercise for estimates of potential future economic shocks.

This has been attributed mainly to population and economic growth in disaster-prone areas. Future natural disaster losses are expected to increase due to a continued increase in economic exposure and climate change.

A rapidly expanding literature has estimated the direct (e.g., property damage) and indirect (e.g., gross domestic product growth, trade) economic impacts of natural disasters. This article reviews this emerging literature.

The issue helps to clarify the ways in which people of low SES may be at greater risk than other groups in disasters, as well as barriers to disaster preparedness and other adverse situations or experiences they may face during the phases of disaster impact, response, and recovery. The issue also includes suggestions for policies to support better outcomes for people of low SES in and after disasters.\nIn selecting research to review for this Bulletin, we took a broad approach to the topics of wealth and poverty, income, and SES. SAMHSA (2014) defines SES in the United States as \"related to many factors, including occupational prestige and education, yet . . . primarily associated with income level.\" Because SES encompasses occupation and education as well as income, we use it as a general term in this issue.\nHowever, because studies cited in this issue look at multiple factors (for example, income level, poverty, and years of education), we also indicate the exact ways related to SES that researchers identify groups of people affected by disasters.\nIn this issue, we also use the term \"vulnerability\" broadly, to refer to greater risk of negative experiences, effects, and reactions before, during, and after a disaster. For example, vulnerability for people of low SES may refer to greater likelihood of living in fragile housing, having difficulty accessing resources after a disaster, and experiencing trauma during and after a disaster. It also may refer to lower likelihood of receiving warnings of disasters, having the ability to evacuate in response to disaster warnings, and being able to access post-disaster aid.

The regular version is now officially launched, but there is no trace for the Pro variant. The company may launch Bip 3 Pro later with some additional functions in major markets. Now talking about Bip 3, it comes with a 1.69-inch square display with a super TFT color touchscreen and 2.5D tempered glass. It offers 60+ workout modes with GPS & GLONASS functions. Along with it, users can track their blood oxygen level with SpO2 function. With the BioTracker PPG sensor, you can continuously measure your heart rate. It tracks sleep in various patterns like light sleep, deep sleep, and awake time. Further, it has stress, breathing, and menstrual cycle features. \n It offers over 50 watch faces. All the faces support custom widgets that you can change. Also, with custom watch faces, you can set your own background. It is packed with a 280mAh battery, which is capable to run for 14 days in normal mode. It is 5ATM water resistance up to 50 meters deep. \n The Amazfit Bip 3 is available in Black, Pink, and Blue color options. It is available for BRL 269 or USD 58 in brazil. There is no official confirmation on when it will launch in other countries. The Pro version of the Amazfit Bip smartwatch always gets extra features.

While it\u2019s a little annoying to need to equalize headphones instead of having them sound perfect out of the box, at least it\u2019s easy enough to navigate.

And you\u2019ve got a slew of great options to pick from; it\u2019s hard to make a bad choice. No matter how you\u2019re using them, the criteria for picking the best noise-canceling headphones haven\u2019t changed: the most important measures are comfort, how well they can eliminate outside noise, sound quality, battery life, and whether they support multipoint pairing so you can connect to two audio sources at once. The right headphones for you will differ based on which of those things you prioritize, but our overall pick for the best noise-canceling headphones is Sony\u2019s WH-1000XM5 . They offer a combination of sound quality, comfort, and great noise cancellation that\u2019s hard to beat. But if you\u2019re looking for something a bit different, there are still plenty of options. If you want sublime comfort during those long-haul flights, Bose\u2019s QuietComfort 45s are the answer. If you\u2019re an iPhone owner and will only settle for the best, the AirPods Max live up to their price. But Bowers & Wilkins and Sennheiser also sell some tremendous ANC headphones if sound quality is your main focus. Trying to find the best headphones for Zoom life? Bose has a strong contender. And if you\u2019re after something a little more stylish, Marshall\u2019s headphones just might surprise you.

The result is that you just hear the music, not your apartment's TV, your colleagues' lunch conversation or the dull buzz of an airplane. You can buy noise-canceling headphones in a wireless earbud design, but over-ear designs do a better job at passively blocking out noise. The combination of great active and passive noise-cancellation, plus the fact that over-ear headphones are able to have bigger and more powerful drivers, make over-ear headphones the best type of active noise-canceling headphones bar none.\n\nBest All-Around\n Sony WH-1000XM5\n Read More\n\nBest Upgrade\n Apple AirPods Max\n Read More\n\nBest Budget\n Sennheiser HD 450BT\n Read More\n\nMaster & Dynamic MW75\n Read More\n\nBose QuietComfort 45\n Read More\n\nAnd there are a ton to choose from.

Most of the best noise-canceling headphones hover somewhere near $300 or above; if you don\u2019t want to spend as much you can find older, wired models of the Bose QC25 or Sony 1000XM that are both excellent and significantly more affordable. You can snag an even better deal with manufacturer-refurbished models on eBay, Amazon or the company\u2019s own website; you can get a really good deal and all of those reliable websites have fairly lenient return policies in case the headphones don\u2019t meet your expectations.

PSB good Sony better. I know, looked at those as well, but just have the feeling they are much \"plastic-like\" ... maybe not ..\u00a0 I like the Sonys. Fidelity will depend on what you're using them with. Android devices support LDAC, the bluetooth codec with highest data transfer rate. Apple devices do not, nor does Windows. But, the headphones can be used wired. Would be using them with an iPhone 11 or on an iMac.\u00a0 I asked a similar question a few years ago and was convinced by the responses that instead of looking for headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC) that sounded better than my Bose over-ear I was looking to upgrade from that I\u2019d be better off with the passive noise cancellation from a good set of IEMs. IEMs will be much smaller for your carry-on or to tote around town and Shure (for example) advertise 46dB reduction in outside noise levels.The noise reduction is definitely different from ANC in that it is across the spectrum and all frequencies with good IEMs as opposed to ANC that often works best only with constant background noise (like airplane engines or the lawnmower) but works less for sudden sounds that aren\u2019t constant which instead sound muffled/wrong but definitely get through.\u00a0I ended up with a pair from Campfire Audio and love them, but there are lots of IEMs that will blow away the best ANC headphones for sound quality at the same price.\u00a0 If you\u2019re committed to ANC, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 are often said to be the best of the ANC IEMs for sound quality if the small and travel-friendly form factor of in-ear is important...haven\u2019t heard them myself.

Some Filmmakers have successfully utilized colour and exploited the full meaning through their films, but out of the filmmakers for instance Jean Luc Gogard, Zhang Yimou and many more one is also known for being a modern day example of auteur. Wes Anderson the creator of Isle of dogs and Fantastic Mr Fox known for his quirky and usual style through elements such as colour and symmetry of frame, is one of the best directors in terms of his world building, \u2018Anderson\u2019s colour palettes are integral to his cinematic world building\u201d 2 \u00a0 said by artist Hamish Robertson. \u201cHis eye for art direction and fantastic attention to detail creates the appropriate space and tone for his characters to exist in-and for the viewer to lose themselves in\u201d 3 . \u00a0 \n \u00a0 \n The 2012 film Moonrise Kingdom directed by Wes Anderson is a great example of this, the story of a boy running away from his scout group alongside a girl being symbolic for how they are running away from their troubles is considered one of Wes Anderson\u2019s greatest films.

One of these filmmakers is Wes Anderson. Most people know a Wes Anderson movie when they see it; the distinguishing color palette, signature camera moves, the many, many overhead shots, but there is much, much more to be said about his visual themes. Nelson Carvajal peeks inside the director's imaginative world in this excellent video that showcases some of Anderson's best films, as well as voiceovers from interviews with the director in which he talks about his artistic sensibilities. I know that it may not be super en vogue to admit, but Wes Anderson inspires the crap out of me (classy, I know), probably because Anderson himself seems to be\u00a0inspired by early European cinema. Homages from the films of directors like Godard (the color palette from\u00a0 Pierott le Fou), Truffaut (the 3-way race scene in Jules et Jim ), and Fellini (the Christ statue to that in\u00a0 La Dolce Vita\u00a0is similar to the one in his Prada commercial\u00a0Castello Cavalcanti)\u00a0can be seen all over Anderson's work. However,\u00a0though he's never worked in theater, much of his inspiration comes from it, like the long takes his films are known for. But Anderson has become an auteur in his own right with a style that is one of the most recognizable in the industry. As you'll see in the video, he is relentlessly attentive to detail -- every blocking decision, set design, and camera movement carefully mapped out ahead of time (though, as Anderson explains, can never be fully imagined and calculated before you shoot). Check out Carvajal's video, which was shared via Way Too Indie: For more thoughts on Wes Anderson's stylistic approach, be sure to read Carvajal's Way Too Indie article. He shares plenty of great inside into the sensibilities of the director. Some say Anderson's work has become repetitive. Do you think he should stay true to his style, or branch out?

He is recognised for his quirky, offbeat style, comically dysfunctional characters and dark, deadpan humour, Anderson is one of the most beloved American directors working today. With visually stunning compositions and heartfelt stories, it is easy to be seduced by his works.\nAnderson\u2019s films somehow always manage to capture the magic of childhood, in part due to the meticulous mise-en-scene he sets up where everything holds a sense of whimsy. Watching his films puts you in a slightly off-kilter world where everything feels possible.\u00a0\nYet somehow, watching his films makes me feel hollow as if something is missing. When you peel back the charming facade, you start to realise the glaringly obvious truth: Wes Anderson\u2019s movies only care for white characters and stories.\nLooking through his repertoire of films, you may notice a pattern. It is no secret that certain actors always crop up in Anderson\u2019s films, most of whom are white Americans such as Willem Dafoe, Edward Norton and Owen Wilson. That in itself should not be a mark of insensitivity.\nHowever, it is with Anderson\u2019s filmic ventures into Asia where we can also see a lack of care or attention to non-White cultures and characters. Perhaps the starkest example is with Isle of Dogs (2018).\n Image Credit: Fox Searchlight Pictures \nWhen Isle of Dogs was announced, I remember the excitement that came with Anderson\u2019s return to stop motion. As someone who loved Fantastic Mr. Fox, I was excited about the possibilities. I mean, adorable dogs, a great cast and the culturally-rich background of Japan!

I looked on as she lost her fianc\u00e9e and then her job, committed an outrageous act in a church, and got arrested and later convicted, all because of, as Joan\u2019s attorney described it, \u201csome super-advanced, deep-fake quantum computer mumbo-jumbo.\u201d All this I witnessed from my couch, with a beverage and some snacks, viewing an episode of the Netflix science fiction show Black Mirror called \u201cJoan is Awful.\u201d Joan isn\u2019t a real person but rather the main character \u2014 and one of the chief victims \u2014 in a disturbing portrayal of a too-close-for-comfort near future where the power of artificial intelligence, wielded by the wicked, sociopathic head of a seemingly omniscient media corporation called Streamberry, wrecks lives effortlessly and without conscience. I\u2019d wanted to watch \u201cJoan is Awful\u201d in large part because I\u2019d heard it confronts issues that have lately taken on great urgency, not only in my business, which resides at the intersection of digital technology and media + entertainment, but in all the industries and organizations that AI touches, which nowadays is most. Black Mirror, I knew, could be provocative. After seeing this episode, I was indeed provoked, or at least motivated, to engage in the dialogue about the ethical considerations surrounding AI in the media + entertainment business of which I\u2019m part. I\u2019d watched \u201cJoan is Awful\u201d against the backdrop of two labor disputes, one involving the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the other SAG-AFTRA (the Screen Actors Guild \u2013 American Federation of Television and Radio Artists). As I write this, both unions are striking as they demand new guidelines and assurances from their employers around, among other issues, the use of AI in a range of applications that impact how content is produced, how likenesses are used in that content, and how compensation should work when companies use AI-generated likenesses instead of the real thing.\n Generative AI can profoundly change the", "model_trace": "Yes, this web page is useful for the query.

After watching the Black Mirror episode \u201c The Entire History of You ,\u201d a student in my information ethics and policy class asked if, in a world in which every action we take is recorded and every memory can be accessed, we would see an end to crime entirely. Or wait, she reflected after a moment, maybe the police wouldn\u2019t have access to that information at all \u2014 wouldn\u2019t it be an invasion of privacy? Actually, how might the Fourth Amendment apply, if it protects against unreasonable search? Another student jumped in and suggested that using your own memories against you would be a case of self-incrimination. A violation of the Fifth Amendment. Though, he added, he didn\u2019t think that the characters in the show would be acting the way they did, either. We would obviously have to develop social norms to keep people from just playing their memories for each other willy-nilly. The class was quickly divided, some taking the stance that privacy was of paramount importance, others suggesting that there might be some ways to take advantage of the technology to make people safer, if we were careful about how we did it. I reminded them that we\u2019d had a similar conversation about whether the FBI should be able to compel Apple to unlock iPhones. Then I told them about the Supreme Court\u2019s 1967 ruling in Katz v. United States, which established reasonable expectations of privacy with respect to phone calls. These precise regulatory and ethical issues didn\u2019t come up in that Black Mirror episode \u2014 but the mere idea of that futuristic implant proved a valuable catalyst for discussing the very same complexities we grapple with now. We might never see memory-sharing technology come to be, but we do have to decide whether someone\u2019s biometric data via an Apple Watch or pacemaker can be used to incriminate them.
