Entropy-Dominated Temporal Vocal Dynamics as Digital Biomarkers for Depression Detection

Automated depression detection often relies on static aggregation of conversational signals, potentially obscuring clinically meaningful behavioral dynamics. We investigated whether entropy-driven temporal biomarkers improve depression detection beyond standard pooled features using the DAIC-WOZ corpus.

Driver Behavior Modeling with Subjective Risk‐Driven Inverse Reinforcement Learning

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A subjective risk‐driven inverse reinforcement learning framework is proposed to model driver decision‐making. It infers drivers' risk perception and risk tolerance from driving data. A learnable risk threshold is used to regulate decisions, enabling interpretable and human‐like driving behavior decisions.

The role of venture‐financed startups in innovation for US agriculture

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract To evaluate the role played by startup companies in the innovation ecosystem of US agriculture, we compile a unique dataset of 6024 new entrants founded 1987–2019 that details their financing lifecycles, annual economic performance, and patenting activities.

The specificity of the formation of style dominants in vocal performance (based on N. Stutzmann’s creativity)

Problems of Interaction Between Arts, Pedagogy and the Theory and Practice of Education
Statement of the problem. In the article, using the example of the famous representative of vocal and conducting art, N. Schutzmann, the concept of “stylistic dominant” is tested as a parameter that determines the specificity of the performance statement (or a complex of musical and speech resources) and the axiological aspect of the interpreter’s ...

B/ordering and healthcare access for migrants with precarious status: The role of healthcare workers in counteracting restrictive policies

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In Canada, precarious migration is largely invisibilized. Nonetheless, b/ordering greatly affects people's realities by limiting access to social rights. In Quebec, migrants with precarious status (MPS) do not have access to healthcare, although Quebec has a “universal” healthcare coverage.

Negotiating contested spaces and places: Narratives of social suffering and resistance in racialized Cape Town communities

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study employs a schizocartographic approach to explore community narratives of space, memory, and violence in Kraaifontein, Cape Town. Through participants' accounts, ordinary places—gardens, shops, blocks, sports grounds, and streets—emerge as ambivalent geographies where trauma, resilience, and belonging intersect.
