System And Method For Knowledge Reuse From Infrastructure Interaction Exhaust And Cross-Agent Behavioral Metadata Inference, Eric Zavesky

Defensive Publications Series

A system and method for cross-agent behavioral pattern learning and knowledge reuse from infrastructure interaction exhaust. The system passively captures interaction traces from multiple actors - including autonomous agents, semi-automated processes, and human users - as they interact with databases, APIs, and infrastructure endpoints through heterogeneous surfaces. A semantic inference layer analyzes captured traces to infer properties beyond raw telemetry, including organic field discovery, relevance weighting, prompt-level field alias mining, role frequency and sensitivity determination, and retry-aware intent detection. A pattern sanitization module strips individual actor identity and raw data values while preserving role-scoped organizational tokens, producing parameterized patterns with …


From Welfare To Labour Rights: Shifting Terrains Of Collective Action Among India’S Platform Workers, Gayatri Nair, Eesha Kunduri Sep 2026

From Welfare To Labour Rights: Shifting Terrains Of Collective Action Among India’S Platform Workers, Gayatri Nair, Eesha Kunduri

National Law School Journal

Digital labour platforms worldwide have deepened the shift towards temporary, piecemeal, casual, and non-standard work arrangements. With significant implications for wages, employment relationships, and social security, the rise of platform work has (re)shaped the experiences of work in urban India in profound ways. Our ethnographic engagements in Delhi and Hyderabad are the basis to highlight three labour issues: of wages, safety, and discrimination, which shape the everyday experience of platform workers and which have consequently been raised by unions and through workers’ collective action. These issues, we argue, demonstrate the need for legislative interventions that regulate labour conditions in platform …

Government Censorship In Comedy, Campbell E. Gavin Sep 2026

Government Censorship In Comedy, Campbell E. Gavin

The Dialogue

This paper examines the role of public administration in shaping and restricting comedic expression in the United States, specifically focusing on the FCC’s regulation of broadcast media, targeting stand-up comedians and late-night show hosts. By applying Weber's and Wilson's theories of bureaucracy the paper analyzes how administrative power influences the boundaries of acceptable speech, through legal frameworks and discourse theory. An important court case involving governmental regulation of comedic speech was the FCC v. Pacifica Foundation. This case sets the stage for administrative power to grow in terms of limiting freedom of speech and paving the way for new administrations, …

Age-Dependent Variations In Clinical Presentation, Laboratory Parameters, And Coronary Outcomes In Kawasaki Disease: A 10-Year Retrospective Cohort Study Of 480 Pediatric Patients In Eastern China, Zhuying Zhou, Chen Wang, Aole Li, Saeed Saboor, Xiaoli Li, Xiaowei Li, Xianmei Huang, Chunming Jiang

Journal of Pediatric Infectious Diseases

Objective: This study investigated the age-dependent clinical characteristics of Kawasaki disease (KD) in pediatric patients and assessed the influence of age on disease presentation and outcomes. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 480 children diagnosed with KD who were admitted to Hangzhou First People's Hospital between 2013 and 2022. Subjects were stratified into two cohorts based on age: <2 years and 2-14 years). Demographic data, clinical manifestations, laboratory parameters, comorbidities, and coronary artery abnormalities were comprehensively evaluated across the age groups. Results: Time from symptom onset to diagnosis was significantly prolonged in the older cohort (z=-2.70, P=0.007). The incidence of cervical lymphadenopathy was markedly higher in older children (χ²=15.12, P<0.001), while peripheral extremity changes were significantly less frequent (χ²=5.79, P=0.016). The younger cohort exhibited significantly elevated platelet counts, alanine aminotransferase, and NT-proBNP levels compared to older patients (z=-3.57, P<0.001; z=-2.39, P=0.02; z=-3.59, P<0.001, respectively). Coronary artery dilatation and aneurysm formation occurred more frequently in younger patients (z=7.70, P=0.006; z=14.63, P<0.001). However, coronary artery recovery rates following intravenous immunoglobulin therapy showed no significant inter-group differences (P>0.05). Conclusions: The clinical presentation of KD demonstrates significant age-dependent variation. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for KD in older children presenting with fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. In younger patients with KD, close monitoring of hepatic function, platelet …

Reconfiguring Distribution Networks Using The Aco+Tnc Algorithm, Specifying The Location, Size, And Number Of Added Renewable Energy Sources, Mohammed Falah Hasan, Rana Ali Abttan

Engineering and Technology Journal

Distribution networks face increasing pressure from rising loads and renewable energy integration, making the simultaneous optimization of reconfiguration and distributed generation placement a critical engineering challenge, and conventional single-objective methods are insufficient for simultaneously addressing power losses, voltage profile degradation, and the structural constraints of radial networks. This paper proposes a hybrid framework that combines Ant Colony Optimization with the Truncated Newton Constrained method to jointly solve network reconfiguration alongside the optimal placement, sizing, and type selection of renewable distributed generation—both solar PV and wind—within a single unified model. The approach relies on a four-part weighted objective function covering active …

Involvement Of Melatonin In The Regulation Of Reactive Oxygen Species Levels In Plants, Bariş Uzi̇lday, Oğuzhan Yilmaz, Tolga Yalçinkaya, Zehra Özgecan Tanyolaç, İsmai̇l Türkan, Rengi̇n Özgür Uzi̇lday

Turkish Journal of Botany

Abiotic stress conditions impair plant metabolism partly by inducing the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Melatonin, a multifunctional indoleamine, has emerged as an important regulator of plant responses to oxidative stress. This review highlights recent findings on the interactions among phytomelatonin, ROS homeostasis, antioxidant metabolism, photosynthetic protection, stress priming, and abiotic stress tolerance. We discuss how melatonin modulates the antioxidative response under diverse stress conditions and evaluate its effects on photosynthetic performance, ROS signaling, and membrane stability. Special attention is given to priming studies showing that melatonin pretreatment can improve stress tolerance. Emerging evidence from plant tissue culture …
