Transhumanism Without Transindividuation in the Age Without Epochality: Stiegler, Vice, and Radical Human Enhancement

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT At its core, transhumanism is utopic and apocalyptic: it tells us we will be saved through an imminent radical change of our being wrought by radical human enhancement (RHE) technologies. We are rushing, its supporters claim, towards a technological utopia so long as assorted techno‐phobes do not stand in the way.

VSED Should Not Be a Pathway to MAiD (Though Both Are Ethically Permissible)

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent changes in aid in dying laws have led some to argue for a pathway from Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED) to Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD). Proponents point to the Sontag case as demonstrating the efficacy of the practice. This article first provides an overview of the development of the practice of VSED and MAiD and provides

Multidimensional unipolar IRT and applications to the measurement of print exposure

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Item response theory (IRT) has been a prominent modelling framework in educational and psychological measurement. Traditional IRT models are bipolar, commonly assuming symmetric measurement link functions and symmetric trait distributions over a latent continuum unbounded at both ends. However, many measured constructs, such as print exposure,

Ischaemic stroke and 5‐fluorouracil or capecitabine: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of harms and a retrospective study of the WHO pharmacovigilance database

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Fluoropyrimidines, including 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) and capecitabine, are cornerstone antineoplastic agents for cancer. Case reports suggest that these drugs may be associated with an under‐recognised risk of ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA).

Perioperative Durvalumab for Resectable NSCLC: Updated Outcomes for Japanese Patients in AEGEAN

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
In prespecified exploratory analyses of Japanese patients with resectable NSCLC enrolled in the AEGEAN trial, perioperative durvalumab plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in the primary endpoints of EFS and pCR versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone.

Adaptive Sampling for BRDF Acquisition

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We propose a data‐driven adaptive sampling strategy that predicts the optimal sampling pattern and count for BRDF acquisition from a single image, reducing capture time while preserving quality. Abstract The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) describes the ratio of incoming radiance to outgoing radiance for all possible pairs of ...

A Survey of Methods for Constructing 3D Urban Models From Point Clouds

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
The survey outlines a general process for constructing 3D models from point clouds and categorizes the methods based on their use of templates, basic surface primitives, hybrid approaches, or linear primitives. Additionally, the survey reviews the datasets and benchmarks that are essential for testing and training the developed methods.

Establishing Shape Correspondences: A Survey

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Shape correspondence between surfaces in 3D is a central problem in geometry processing, concerned with establishing meaningful relations between surfaces. While all correspondence problems share this goal, specific formulations can differ significantly: Downstream applications require certain properties that correspondences must satisfy ...

UrbanClipAtlas: A Visual Analytics Framework for Event and Scene Retrieval in Urban Videos

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Extracting actionable insights from long‐duration urban videos is often labor‐intensive: analysts must manually sift through raw footage to pinpoint target events or uncover broader behavioral trends. In this work, we present UrbanClipAtlas, a visual analytics system for exploring long urban videos recorded at street intersections ...

Survey on Visualization of Information Diffusion over Networks

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Information Diffusion (ID) describes how a value (e.g., a pathogen, a rumor, a packet) spreads through an underlying “medium” network of elements (e.g., a social or computer network). Understanding the information diffusion process is essential to predicting trends, controlling misinformation, and enhancing decision‐making as well as ...
