The Potential Threat of The Sinaloa Cartel to Canada

Since the first police bust of fentanyl in Canada in 2013, fentanyl may have become a more powerful and deadly drug than ever before (Howlett & Woo, n.d.). The Canadian healthcare system is likely impacted, with the likelihood of the situation worsening because of COVID-19. One of the possible reasons for this could be Canada’s role as a consumer in the supply chain of fentanyl. Accessibility to fentanyl is becoming easier with online purchases and delivery services, such as Canada Post (Brownell, 2019; Howlett & Woo, n.d.). This threat may continue as long as there is financial motivation for drug cartels, such as the Sinaloa cartel to transport fentanyl across borders with the assistance of China. Additionally, the success could potentially incite the production of more man-made synthetic drugs. Hence, in order to minimize this potential risk to Canadian communities, the direct impact Canada is facing must be addressed first.

Fake News on Twitter in 2016 U.S. Presidential Election: A Quantitative Approach

The flow of misinformation and disinformation around the 2016 U.S. presidential election put the problem of “fake news” on the agenda all over the world. As a result, news organizations and companies have taken measures to reduce or eliminate the production and dissemination of fake news. Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) software was employed in the current study to examine 1,500 randomly selected tweets that were used to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Results showed fake news are less likely to have analytical thinking. Moreover, both alt-Right troll accounts and alt-Left troll accounts posted fake news on Twitter. Lastly, Cluster analysis revealed that the fake news tweets are more likely to be retweeted and use fewer analytical thinking.

The Role of Non-Cognitive Factors in the SAT Remains Unclear: A Commentary on Hannon (2019).

In the current issue of the Journal of Intelligence, Hannon (2019) reports a novel and intriguing pattern of results that could be interpreted as evidence that the SAT is biased against Hispanic students. Specifically, Hannon’s analyses suggest that non-cognitive factors, such as test anxiety, contribute to SAT performance and the impact of test anxiety on the SAT is stronger among Hispanic students than European-American students. Importantly, this pattern of results was observed after controlling for individual differences in cognitive abilities. We argue that there are multiple issues with Hannon’s investigation and interpretation. For instance, Hannon did not include an adequate number or variety of measures of cognitive ability. In addition, the measure of test anxiety was a retrospective self-report survey on evaluated anxiety rather than a direct measure of situational test anxiety associated with the SAT. Based on these and other observations, we conclude that Hannon’s current results do not provide sufficient evidence to suggest that non-cognitive factors play a significant role in the SAT or that they impact European-American and Hispanic students differently.

Effect Declines Are Systematic, Strong, and Ubiquitous: A Meta-Meta-Analysis of the Decline Effect in Intelligence Research.

Empirical sciences in general and psychological science in particular are plagued by replicability problems and biased published effect sizes. Although dissemination bias-related phenomena such as publication bias, time-lag bias, or visibility bias are well-known and have been intensively studied, another variant of effect distorting mechanisms, so-called decline effects, have not. Conceptually, decline effects are rooted in low initial (exploratory) study power due to strategic researcher behavior and can be expected to yield overproportional effect declines. Although decline effects have been documented in individual meta-analytic investigations, systematic evidence for decline effects in the psychological literature remains to date unavailable. Therefore, we present in this meta-meta-analysis a systematic investigation of the decline effect in intelligence research. In all, data from 22 meta-analyses comprising 36 meta-analytical and 1,391 primary effect sizes (N = 697,000+) that have been published in the journal Intelligence were included in our analyses. Two different analytic approaches showed consistent evidence for a higher prevalence of cross-temporal effect declines compared to effect increases, yielding a ratio of about 2:1. Moreover, effect declines were considerably stronger when referenced to the initial primary study within a meta-analysis, yielding about twice the magnitude of effect increases. Effect misestimations were more substantial when initial studies had smaller sample sizes and reported larger effects, thus indicating suboptimal initial study power as the main driver of effect misestimations in initial studies. Post hoc study power comparisons of initial versus subsequent studies were consistent with this interpretation, showing substantially lower initial study power of declining, than of increasing effects. Our findings add another facet to the ever accumulating evidence about non-trivial effect misestimations in the scientific literature. We therefore stress the necessity for more rigorous protocols when it comes to designing and conducting primary research as well as reporting findings in exploratory and replication studies. Increasing transparency in scientific processes such as data sharing, (exploratory) study preregistration, but also self- (or independent) replication preceding the publication of exploratory findings may be suitable approaches to strengthen the credibility of empirical research in general and psychological science in particular.

A New Liftoff Method for Small and Dense Nanostructures

Introduction Nanostructures have unique properties which attract much attention and have a wide application. For example, metalens could replace the traditional optical components to develop a simple and effective optical system[1]. The key elements of AR and VR smart glasses are based on grating patterns with small dimension[2,3]. Nanostructures are mainly fabricated by electron beam lithography (EBL) which provides excellent patterning solution and flexible pattern variation[4,5]. After the EBL, nanostructures are transferred from the resist to the substrate by etching or liftoff. Because the resist is not a good hard-mask for dry etch and the nanostructures could be distorted during etching, a liftoff process is adopted for the nanostructures transfer[6]. Moreover, small and dense patterns in irregular shape are frequently designed in the nanostructures, so it becomes difficult to fabricate the nanostructures same as the designed-mask by a liftoff process. Therefore, a simple and effective liftoff method should be developed. Experiment A p type silicon wafer is used as the substrate, after the standard cleaning procedure (SC1, SC2, BOE), the wafer is baked at 180℃ for 10 mins. Following by the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) coating, the resist thickness is 230 nm. After coating, the wafer is baked at 150℃for 3 mins. The EBL with 80 KV acceleration voltage and a beam current of 9 nA is used. After the exposure, the sample is developed in a developer (IPA:MIBK=3：1) for 3 minutes. Then the wafer is dried by N2 gas. Results and Discussions The pattern used in the EBL is shown in Fig. 1 to explain the role of dummy pattern. Fig. 1(a) is the original mask pattern and the blue region is for exposure. A line of small square patterns with the dimension of 20 nm is added in the no-exposure region, as shown in Fig. 1(b) and (c). After exposure, a 70 nm Chromium (Cr) film is deposited on the PMMA by ebeam evaporator, as shown Fig. 2(a), following by a liftoff process in acetone for about 5 mins. Then the sample is cleaned in DI water and dried by N2 gas, as shown in Fig. 2(b). With dummy small patterns added on the liftoff region, after exposure and development, the dummy patterns could form a deep and thin valley on the resist but not contact the substrate. Following the metal deposition, the metal film may not fully cover the valley or form a week connection in the valley region. Therefore, the metal film is very easy to break in the valley when the sample is dipped in the acetone, which could results in a successful liftoff. However, the exposure dose for the dummy pattern should be tested to find the optimum value; otherwise, the dummy pattern could appear in the nanostructure, as shown in Fig. 2(c), and destroy the function of the nanostructure. Conclusions A new liftoff method is present. With dummy small patterns added to the original mask pattern, a deep and thin valley on the resist but not contact the substrate is formed. This method leads to a simple and effective liftoff process.

Mapping the structure and evolution of JISIB: A bibliometric analysis of articles published in the Journal of Intelligence Studies in Business between 2011 and 2017

Today, organizations are facing technological, economic and social challenges thatrequire the intelligent use of data, information and knowledge. To this end, organizations aredeveloping capabilities around intelligence. From the organizational point of view, intelligencein business is a relatively new field study, so it is convenient to know and understand what themain themes are and their evolution in order to facilitate their integration. Taking this intoaccount, the current research conducts a conceptual and structural analysis of the Journal ofIntelligence Studies in Business (JISIB). JISIB is one of the few academic journals devotedpurely to publishing articles about business intelligence, collective intelligence, competitiveintelligence, economic intelligence, market intelligence, marketing intelligence, scientific andtechnical intelligence, strategic intelligence, and their equivalent terms in other languages. Thisanalysis is carried out by quantifying the main bibliometric performance indicators, identifyingthe main authors and evaluating the development of the main themes within it using SciMATas a bibliometric analysis software. To this purpose, the documents published in JISIB from2011 to 2017 were retrieved from two different sources: the JISIB official web page and the Webof Science. In this way, the bibliometric performance analysis evaluates the impact of thescientific output based on publications and their citations, while science mapping illustrates theintellectual structure of the journal and the evolution of the main research themes. Bearing inmind that JISIB provides an open platform for the publication of original research articles,opinion articles, book reviews and conference proceedings about the intelligence field, thisresearch allows to understand its structure and evolution and all the themes associated with it.It provides a framework to support intelligence researchers and professionals in thedevelopment and direction of future research by identifying emerging, transversal, core anddeclining themes. Finally, this study includes a performance analysis of JISIB.

Non-g Factors Predict Educational and Occupational Criteria: More than g.

In a prior issue of the Journal of Intelligence, I argued that the most important scientific issue in intelligence research was to identify specific abilities with validity beyond g (i.e., variance common to mental tests) (Coyle, T.R. Predictive validity of non-g residuals of tests: More than g. Journal of Intelligence 2014, 2, 21–25.). In this Special Issue, I review my research on specific abilities related to non-g factors. The non-g factors include specific math and verbal abilities based on standardized tests (SAT, ACT, PSAT, Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery). I focus on two non-g factors: (a) non-g residuals, obtained after removing g from tests, and (b) ability tilt, defined as within-subject differences between math and verbal scores, yielding math tilt (math > verbal) and verbal tilt (verbal > math). In general, math residuals and tilt positively predict STEM criteria (college majors, jobs, GPAs) and negatively predict humanities criteria, whereas verbal residuals and tilt show the opposite pattern. The paper concludes with suggestions for future research, with a focus on theories of non-g factors (e.g., investment theories, Spearman’s Law of Diminishing Returns, Cognitive Differentiation-Integration Effort Model) and a magnification model of non-g factors.
