Pareto in Prison

open access: yesBehavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pareto principle is based on the concept that roughly 80% of outcomes are generated by 20% of inputs, efforts, or contributors within a group. Using a national sample of U.S. prison inmates, we examined various percentile rankings of self‐reported institutional misconduct to determine how much disorder is created behind bars by the most ...

Beyond Legal Rights: Understanding Mental Health and Autonomy in Criminal Self‐Representation

open access: yesBehavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This qualitative study examines criminal defendants who waived legal representation to self‐represent in court. Through interviews with 16 participants and courtroom observations, findings reveal intersecting factors driving this decision: mental health challenges, desire for autonomy, attorney mistrust, dissatisfaction with past legal ...

Unveiling the Relationship Between Cultural Values and Public (Dis)Value: The Mediation Role of Corruption Perception and Citizen Trust

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, much emphasis has been placed in the literature on understanding the dynamics by which public value is created and destroyed, by analyzing how cultural values contribute to these dynamics. This paper aims to explore the mediation role of corruption perception and citizen trust in explaining the relationship between cultural ...

Fleeting joy, divergent expectations and reconfigured intimacies: The visits home of Filipino migrant care workers in Singapore

open access: yesGlobal Networks, Volume 23, Issue 1, Page 203-217, January 2023., 2023
Abstract For Filipino migrant care workers in Singapore, visits home are highly anticipated and longed for, but only as long as they remain brief. Drawing on long‐term ethnographic research, this paper examines such visits as emotionally complex events that bring intense joy as migrants reunite with dispersed family members, but also reveal divergent ...

Post‐dialysis fatigue: Comparison of bicarbonate hemodialysis and online hemodiafiltration

open access: yesHemodialysis International, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 55-61, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Introduction The present cross‐sectional study aimed to compare the prevalence, the characteristics of post‐dialysis fatigue and the length of recovery time after hemodialysis in prevalent end‐stage renal disease patients (ESRD) receiving bicarbonate hemodialysis (HD) or hemodiafiltration (HDF).

One cannot hear the winding number [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2006
We construct an example of two continuous maps f and g of the circle to itself with the same absolute value of the Fourier transform but with different winding numbers, answering a question of Brezis.

Evaluation of Software‐Optimized Protocols for Acoustic Noise Reduction During Brain MRI at 7 Tesla

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background MR‐generated acoustic noise may be particularly concerning at 7‐Tesla (T) systems. Noise levels can be reduced by altering gradient output using software optimization. However, such alterations might influence image quality or prolong scan times, and these optimizations have not been well characterized.

Electrophysiological Evaluation of the Auditory Nerve in Normal Hearing Patients with Absence of Stapedial Reflex

open access: yesInternational Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2009
Introduction: The stapedial reflex is a stapedial muscle contraction located in the middle ear, induced by an intense acoustic stimulus. It is expected that individuals with auditory thresholds within the normality standards have stapedial reflexes once ...

A Bayesian binary classification approach to pure tone audiometry [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
The pure tone hearing threshold is usually estimated from responses to stimuli at a set of standard frequencies. This paper describes a probabilistic approach to the estimation problem in which the hearing threshold is modelled as a smooth continuous function of frequency using a Gaussian process.

Personalization of Hearing Aid Compression by Human-In-Loop Deep Reinforcement Learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Existing prescriptive compression strategies used in hearing aid fitting are designed based on gain averages from a group of users which are not necessarily optimal for a specific user. Nearly half of hearing aid users prefer settings that differ from the commonly prescribed settings.
