Background. Despite the growing recognition of adolescent suicide as a pressing concern, traditional methods for identifying suicide risk often fail to capture the complex interplay of socio-ecological and psychological factors. The advent of machine learning (ML) offers a transformative opportunity to improve suicide risk prediction and intervention strategies. Objective. This study aims to utilize ML techniques to analyze socio-ecological and psychological risk factors to predict suicide ideation, plans and attempts among a nationally representative sample of Ghanaian adolescents. Methods. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 1,703 adolescents aged 12–18 years across Ghana measuring psychological factors (depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms etc) and socio-ecological factors (bullying, parental support etc) using validated measures. Descriptive statistics were conducted and random forest and logistic regression models were employed for suicide risk prediction, i.e., ‘ideation, plans and attempts’. Model performance was evaluated using accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and feature importance analysis. Results. Psychological factors such as depression symptoms (r = .42, p < .01), anxiety (r = .38, p < .01) and perceived stress (r = .35, p < .01) were the strongest predictors of suicide ideation, plans and attempts, while parental support emerged as a significant protective factor (r = −.34, p < .01). The random forest model demonstrated good predictive performance (accuracy = 78.3%, AUC = 0.81). Gender differences were observed. Conclusions. This study is the first to apply ML techniques to a nationally representative dataset of Ghanaian adolescents for suicide risk prediction, i.e., ‘ideation, plans and attempts’. The findings highlight the potential of ML to provide precise tools for early identification of at-risk individuals.

In 1911, Italy invaded the region now known as Libya, then part of the Ottoman Empire, as part of a larger Italian colonizing foray into northern Africa. Many scholars have pointed out in recent years how intense the sonic environments of war can be, and the Italo-Turkish War of 1911–12 was no exception. Not only was the war itself full of sound and sonic media such as gramophones and telephones, the narration of the war, including most (in)famously that of Futurist author F.T. Marinetti, focused from the outset on the sonic intensities of the conflict. In addition, the war became a site for the cultivation of sonic media: Guglielmo Marconi not only deployed his radio technology for the Italian cause, he personally travelled to Libya to test and refine radio in the unique geographies there. In this article, I consider these Italian-centric narratives of war alongside accounts of the sonic experiences of the Arab and Ottoman Turkish forces in their resistance to the Italian occupation, considering the sonic techniques deployed both for and against Italian colonialism. I focus on three particular sonic techniques of that resistance: first, ‘counterlistening’, or ways of listening that subvert empire’s auralities; second, ululation (mostly by women) on the battlefield and beyond; and third, jihad, especially its sonic articulations as a set of declarations, battle cries, religious chanting, and even poetry. For both sides, sound played a much greater role in the war than just being a by-product of activity; these sonic techniques both shaped the war and were shaped by it, producing new forms of sonic experience that played important roles in constituting the colonial and anticolonial in Libya.

Both skill-biased and routine-biased technological changes risk disrupting employment in Australia, particularly through persistent effects after an economic downturn. Soft skills are considered valuable for employees to reduce unemployment risk from these technological biases, as these skills contribute to employment in skilled and non-routine jobs that are difficult to automate. We investigate how soft skills affected the risk of unemployment from the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) using the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) longitudinal dataset to understand whether these skills could reduce unemployment risk and similar negative employment outcomes for workers during economic disruptions, including the following years during the recovery. We find that the soft skill measures of social capital and low task repetitiveness are associated with lower unemployment, overskilling, and underutilisation risk. The association between social capital and underemployment also strengthened after the downturn. This did not begin immediately after the GFC but instead from 2013 onwards, after the end of the mining boom that had supported Australia during the GFC.

This study examines the ramifications engendered by the personalisation welfare initiative, denominated as ‘Individualised Budgeting’, upon the welfare service framework in Israel. Adopting a supply-side perspective, the study employed qualitative, in-depth interviews with service providers to scrutinise potential successes and failures in service systems. The study’s methodology employed a multi-criteria policy analysis based upon the analytical theoretical framework of Gilbert and Terrell’s welfare service delivery system analysis. Results revealed that while service integration and systematic function distribution align well with the programme, accessibility and accountability only partially fit, suggesting a need for improved regulatory frameworks. New criteria, including economic viability for private suppliers and investment in innovative services, also emerged. Addressing these market inadequacies requires State investment in technological innovations to ensure an effective service delivery system.

Frank Samperi is a neglected twentieth-century American poet who produced a large body of poetry. Affiliated closely with Objectivist poetics through the mentorship of Louis Zukofsky, Samperi’s work is significantly influenced by the Catholic writings of Aquinas and Dante. With a commitment to linguistic self-reflexivity, an ethics of otherness, and a resistance to abstraction and identity thinking, Samperi’s work enhances and expands our understanding of the key traits of Objectivist poetics, often regarded as relying heavily on Judaic ideas and philosophies. As an Italian American Catholic, his poetry also demonstrates an immigrant’s compromise with Americanization, but an equally clear alignment with the emerging American poetic counterculture in the 1960s.

In discussions on European Neogene continental chronology, the Kastellios Hill section has played an important role because of the presence of strata with planktonic foraminifers and strata with mammalian remains. With the primary papers written in the 1970s and 1980s, the time is ripe for an update on age and taxonomy of the murid rodents from Kastellios Hill by comparing the fauna with time-equivalent southern and central European faunas. This comparison results in a partly revised faunal list consisting of the dominant Progonomys mixtus n. sp., the less common Cricetulodon cf. C. hartenbergeri Freudenthal, 1967 and P. cathalai Schaub, 1938, and the rare P. hispanicus Michaux, 1971 and cf. Hansdebruijnia neutra (de Bruijn, 1976). Based on the updated species list and magnetic polarity data, the most probable age of the Kastellios Hill mammal localities is 9.3–9.1 Ma (Chron C4Ar.1r, late Vallesian, MN10). The genus Hansdebruijnia is narrowed down to two species in an ancestor–descendant relationship: the ancestral type species H. neutra, which is restricted to southeastern Europe and Anatolia, and the descendant species H. magna (Sen, 1977), representing a new combination and including ‘Occitanomys alcalai’ Adrover et al., 1988 and ‘O. debruijni’ (Hordijk and de Bruijn, 2009). H. magna colonized both southeastern and southwestern Europe.

Post-asymptotic giant branch (Post-AGB) and post-red giant branch (post-RGB) binaries with stable circumbinary discs provide key insights into late stellar and disc evolution, revealing how binary interactions shape disc structure and stellar surface composition. A defining trait of such systems is the observed underabundance of refractory elements in the stellar photosphere relative to volatile elements – photospheric chemical depletion – resulting from the star accreting volatile-rich circumstellar gas. In this study, we investigated the link between photospheric depletion and disc evolution by focusing on post-AGB/post-RGB binaries with low infrared excess (hereafter ‘faint disc’ targets). We analysed high-resolution optical spectra from HERMES/Mercator and UVES/VLT for 6 Galactic and 2 LMC targets. Using E-iSpec, we homogeneously derived atmospheric parameters and chemical abundances of 29 elements from carbon to europium, and included NLTE corrections for 15 elements from carbon to barium that we calculated using pySME and pre-computed grids of departure coefficients. All targets exhibit ‘saturated’ depletion patterns, which we characterised using two-piece linear fits defined by three parameters: initial metallicity ([M/H]$_0$), turn-off temperature ($T_\textrm{turn-off}$), and depletion scale ($\nabla_\textrm{ 100 K}$). Among several findings, we highlight the bimodal distribution of $T_\textrm{turn-off}$ in faint disc targets, which allows classification into two subgroups analogous to full discs with continuous, optically thick dust ($T_\textrm{turn-off} \gt 1 100$ K), and transition discs with inner clearing ($T_\textrm{turn-off} \lt 1 100$ K). Our results imply that faint disc targets likely represent the final stages of disc dissipation, highlighting the diversity of depletion profiles, the complexity of disc-binary interactions, and the need to understand the rarity and evolution of faint disc systems.

This article is the publication of the first bilingual inscription from Hatra, combining Greek with Hatran Aramaic. It is known only from a slide in the archives of the Italian Archaeological Mission to Hatra and, as the first bilingual document from the city itself, it deserves special attention from a multidisciplinary perspective. The inscription is discussed here in its wider context, first with regard to what it can contribute to our understanding of codeswitching between Greek and Aramaic, at Hatra itself and within the wider Near East, and second concerning our knowledge of the development of the city’s local religious life. It is argued that the new inscription casts light on the way in which the goddess ʾAllāt, under influence of the royal house, came to join the Sun god Šmeš (Šamaš) at the heart of Hatrene religion.

We implemented an electronic health record-integrated order set to standardize direct antibiotic challenges for patients with reported antibiotic allergies across nine healthcare facilities. In the first year, 104 patients were challenged (79% oral; 39% two-step). Embedded antibiotic selection, dosage, monitoring parameters, reaction guidance, and rescue medications facilitated uptake by hospitalists and subspecialists.

Why do incumbent governments carry out harsher repression against some opposition groups than others? Drawing on research on the coalitional nature of revolutions, we contend that governments target repression at segments of the challenger group they perceive as most threatening in order to fragment the challenger coalition. We illustrate this argument by analyzing protest repression during the 2011 Syrian uprising. We find that protestors in majority-Kurdish towns in Syria’s northeast region were significantly less likely to face lethal repression than those in nearby Sunni Arab towns protesting at the same rate. Qualitative evidence from interviews and the Arabic-language secondary literature demonstrate that the Syrian regime shaped its strategy of repression around diverting Kurdish protests from the regime-focused demands of the revolution, thereby separating Kurds from the primarily Sunni Arab opposition. These findings have implications for how ethnic and other identities can be used by incumbents and how incumbent regimes communicate with their populations through the selective deployment of violence.

Existing research analyzes government-recognized Indigenous autonomy as a late twentieth-century phenomenon. Yet even in the unlikely case of nineteenth-century Latin America, where central states systematically targeted Indigenous groups for exploitation, discrimination, and assimilation, governments sometimes adopted policies to recognize Indigenous communal landholding and self-government rights. This paper explores when and why this surprising recognition of Indigenous autonomy occurred. It argues that incumbents were most likely to recognize autonomy when (1) they viewed Indigenous leaders as valuable allies and (2) rural elites were sufficiently weak and could not block government policies they disliked. The former condition incentivized incumbents to recognize autonomy, while the latter gave them the capacity to do so. I test this argument using within-case comparisons across several nineteenth and early twentieth-century cases, which include Guatemala, El Salvador, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, and Mexico. The findings offer important insights into historical autonomy and the more recent expansion of Indigenous rights in Latin America.

Normal modal logics extending the logic $\mathsf {K4.3}$ of linear transitive frames are known to lack the Craig interpolation property (CIP), except some logics of bounded depth such as $\mathsf {S5}$. We turn this ‘negative’ fact into a research question and pursue a non-uniform approach to Craig interpolation by investigating the following interpolant existence problem: decide whether there exists a Craig interpolant between two given formulas in any fixed logic above $\mathsf {K4.3}$. Using a bisimulation-based characterisation of interpolant existence for descriptive frames, we show that this problem is decidable and coNP-complete for all finitely axiomatisable normal modal logics containing $\mathsf {K4.3}$. It is thus not harder than entailment in these logics, which is in sharp contrast to other recent non-uniform interpolation results. We also extend our approach to Priorean temporal logics (with both past and future modalities) over the standard time flows—the integers, rationals, reals, and finite strict linear orders—none of which is blessed with the CIP.

We study the transfer of (co)silting objects in derived categories of module categories via the extension functors induced by a morphism of commutative rings. It is proved that the extension functors preserve (co)silting objects of (co)finite type. In many cases the bounded silting property descends along faithfully flat ring extensions. In particular, the notion of bounded silting complex is Zariski local.
