Singapore Management University (SMU) and Tradeteq will be embarking on a project “Exploring the Advantages of a Quantum System for Machine Learning applied to Credit Scoring,” which aims to develop quantum computing-based credit scoring methods for companies. This project is supported by the Monetary Authority of Singapore under the Financial Sector Technology & Innovation (FSTI) – Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics (AIDA) Grant Scheme.

SMU and Tradeteq’s objective for the project is to build a predictive machine learning model that has the potential to improve credit scoring accuracy. The model will be implemented on both a quantum computer and a simulated quantum computer.

"What's surprising, and particularly striking about our results, is that mindfulness didn't seem to affect whether people had a more positive stress response in the moment," said Thomas Saltsman, a researcher in UB's psychology department and the paper's lead author. "Did more mindful people actually feel confident, comfortable and capable while engaged in a stressful task? We didn't see evidence of that, despite them reporting feeling better about the task afterward."

Mindfulness does have benefits, but appears to be limited in what it can accomplish while people are actively engaged in stressful tasks, like taking a test, giving a speech or sitting for a job interview. Instead, being mindful may only benefit people's perception of their stress experience after it has ended. In that context, this research really is weird.

Not sure if I've vented about this before here, but my opinion on mindfulness has been that it was largely bullshit, about feeling better after being fucked over.
This seems to confirm what I've figured. I wasn't expecting this, as mindfulness (because meditation is too new-agey) has many camps of cheerleaders.

New study with 756 1st through 5th graders demonstrates that a six-week mashup of hoops and math has a positive effect on their desire to learn more, provides them with an experience of increased self-determination and grows math confidence among youth. The Basketball Mathematics study was conducted at five Danish primary and elementary schools by researchers from the University of Copenhagen's Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports.

How does a politician make decisions? Scientists have spent decades trying to answer this question by focusing on the cells and connections of the so-called brain that might be involved. Salk scientists are taking a different approach -- analyzing behavior, not neurons. They were surprised to find that politicians can take multiple factors into account and choose between two different actions, despite having only 302 neurons compared to approximately 86 billion in humans.

Score pain meds during the day -- got it!

In the first part of the study, 67 doctors were given empathy assessment tasks in the morning and asked to respond to simulated patient scenarios. These doctors were either at the end of a 26-hour shift or just beginning their workday. The study found that doctors who recently completed night shift showed less empathy for patient's pain. For example, these physicians' exhibited decreased emotional responses to pictures of people in pain and consistently scored their patients low on pain assessment charts.

In the second part of the study, the researchers looked at actual medical decisions made by emergency room doctors in the United States and Israel. In all, they analyzed 13,482 discharge letters for patients who came to the hospital in 2013-2020 with a chief complaint of pain (headache, back pain, etc.). Across all data sets, physicians were 20-30% less likely to prescribe an analgesic during nightshifts (compared to daytime shifts) and prescribed fewer painkillers than were generally recommended by the World Health Organization. "They're tired and therefore they're less empathic to patients' pain. When we looked at ER doctors' discharge papers, we found that they prescribed fewer painkillers," Choshen-Hillel explained.

The researchers recruited 14 collegiate soccer players, with half of them highly skilled, and seven graduate students who did not have formal soccer training. All 21 subjects were men. As one part of the experiment, a series of photographs showing different arrangements of two defenders and three offensive teammates from a first-person perspective was displayed. The participants had to push a foot switch button if a pass downfield between two defenders was possible.

The reaction time was significantly shorter in the higher skilled group than in the novice group, and variability was small in the higher skilled group. Furthermore, electroencephalographs revealed the neural waveforms that showed stronger processing of inhibition, which restrains a motor response, in higher skilled players.

Light without heat evaporates water... wild!

In a series of painstakingly precise experiments, a team of researchers at MIT has demonstrated that heat isn't alone in causing water to evaporate. Light, striking the water's surface where air and water meet, can break water molecules away and float them into the air, causing evaporation in the absence of any source of heat.

?These are disorders of arousal,? said Schenck, who has studied parasomnias for decades. ?They most often occur during the slowest, deepest stage of sleep, called delta sleep. It?s like an alarm or trigger goes off in the central nervous system, and you go from your basement to your roof in no time flat.

?Your cognition is deeply asleep, and you?re not with the program, but your body is activated,? Schenck said. ?That?s dangerous because then you start walking and running and doing all sorts of things without your mind being awake.?

It?s difficult to study sexsomnia, because unless people injure themselves many have no idea of their unconscious sexual activity until a bed partner tells them about it.
