Preliminary Validation Of The Thai Version Of The Brief Assessment Of Social Skills In Dementia (Bass-D Th), Pornsinee Laisathit, Chavit Tunvirachaisakul

Journal of Health Research

Background: The Brief Assessment of Social Skills – Dementia (BASS-D) was developed to provide a concise and effective measure of social cognition across four domains. This study aimed to validate the Thai version of BASS-D (BASS-D TH) by examining its psychometric properties and the associated factors.

Method: BASS-D was forward and back-translated between Thai and English language. Minor modifications were made to enhance cultural replicability. The BASS-D TH was administered to 28 older adults without dementia and 13 dementia patients.

Results: Mean age (t=-3.67, p < 0.001), education years (t=2.70, p=0.01) and TMSE score (t=7.49, p< 0.001). The control non-dementia group and dementia group showed mean BASS-D TH total scores of 76.43 (SD = 9.1) and 45.85 (SD = 15.1). The findings demonstrated construct validity of BASS-D TH (group difference t = 8.093, p < 0.001). Correlation with established concurrent tests exhibited concurrent validity, particularly with the face emotion perception and memory of new faces tests, and lower correlations with Theory of Mind. Reliability analyses indicated strong internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.807). Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis yielded an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.974.

Conclusion: While limited by sample size and the availability of concurrent tests in the Thai …

Orbital Magnetic Coil System And Global Wireless Power Grid For Planetary Energy And Protection, Michael W. Terzi

Defensive Publications Series

Abstract

This paper presents a visionary concept for a global energy generation and distribution network utilizing an orbital array of magnetic coils to harvest electricity directly from Earth’s magnetic field. Leveraging Faraday induction, kilometer-scale conducting loops in low Earth orbit generate electrical power as they cut through geomagnetic lines, transforming orbital kinetic energy into usable electrical energy. This power is wirelessly transmitted to Earth via microwave, laser, or resonant Earth-ionosphere coupling—drawing inspiration from Nikola Tesla’s Wardenclyffe design—to a distributed network of ground-based receiver towers. Beyond energy supply, the system offers speculative planetary defense benefits by reinforcing Earth's magnetic field and …

A Machine Learning-Driven Framework For Real Time Detection And Prevention Of Replica Node Attacks In Wireless Sensor Networks, Maram Pavani, Tanguturi Sharani, Amutha Jeevakumari S A

Northeast Journal of Complex Systems (NEJCS)

Mobile devices and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are increasingly vulnerable to security threats such as unauthorized access and replica node attacks. Mobile devices face risks from replication and anomalous behavior, while attackers compromise WSNs by cloning legitimate nodes, thus threatening network integrity. Traditional security mechanisms often fall short in detecting such sophisticated threats, especially in resource-constrained environments. This research proposes a dual-component security system. A Machine Learning-Based Intrusion Detection System (IDS) for WSNs leverages Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to detect replica nodes through structural network analysis and applies Federated Learning to preserve data privacy. The Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT) …

The Current 'Ban-Demic': School Book Bans In The U.S., Barbara Perez, Jane Caputi

Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy

This essay examines the alarming rise of U.S book. Our stance is grounded in our experiences as educators and academics in Florida, the state with the highest number of book bans and legislation that has significantly impacted education. Book bans infringe on freedom of expression, right to access information, = students’ right to education, and real harm to targeted communities (i.e., LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities), as the bans contribute to the ongoing marginalization and stigmatization of these communities. Diverse representation is key in literature and education. Banning popular culture texts from the classroom stifles critical thinking, social dialogue, and, ultimately, …
