Societal Impact of Machine Learning on Human Emotions

Modern networking conversations generate annotated metadata, necessitating a method for synthesizing insights from statistics. Emotion detection is crucial for practical conversations, distinguishing joy, grief, and wrath. Corpora are becoming the standard for human–machine interaction, aiming to make interactions feel natural and real. A paradigm that identifies debates and customer views can provide a human touch to these interactions. Researchers developed a machine learning framework for assessing emotions in English phrases, utilizing Long Short Term Memory perspective and real-time emotion recognition in idiomatic speech. Emotion recognition rule is created using ontologies like Word Net and Concept Net, Naive Bayes, and Random Forest. Real-time analysis of written words and facial expressions significantly outperforms current algorithms and commandment classifiers in identifying emotional states.

Social Criticism and Biographical Literature: Nabokov's Early Exile Writings from the Perspective of Cultural Memory

This article examines Nabokov's works, analyzing the novels Mary, The Luzhin Defense, Despair, and The Gift, which he wrote in Europe during the early period of his emigration. Based on the literary activities of Nabokov's characters, the author explores aspects of biographical literature style. The main character expresses his personal attitude toward the surrounding reality through various forms of writing, such as autobiographies, biographies of others, diaries, poetry, and works considered “final pieces.” Through these forms, he conveys criticism of society, history, and reality. This literary activity covers a wide spectrum of Russian life in the past and symbols of Russian culture, which, like cultural memories, intertwine with the reality of life in emigration. The study applies close reading and comparative analysis methods, incorporating the theory of cultural memory as part of the research methodology. The novelty of this work lies in using literary creativity as a construction method to explain the critical attitude of characters and the author himself. Literary creativity is one of the main activities of the protagonists in Nabokov's early novels written in emigration and serves as an important channel for preserving Russian cultural memory. Nabokov skillfully uses literary techniques to convey his social critique and historical views, while simultaneously creating Russian narrative texts within the emigration context. This article examines the characters' literary activities in Nabokov’s novels as an object of study, allowing literature to be viewed as a field of cultural memory, as well as highlighting the generational context of biographical literature in the novels and its cultural connotation of memory. Through the "motifs" and genres in Nabokov's works, the “memory of genre” is explored, reflecting the socially critical attitude of both the main character and the author.

A Memory-Efficient Algorithm for Conservative Cuts in Disjoint Bilinear Programming

This paper presents a memory-efficient approach to the combinatorial challenges associated with the process in search of conservative cuts for degeneracy removal in disjoint bilinear programming. Drawing inspiration from Pascal’s Triangle, the new randomized approach surpasses its predecessor from the perspective of memory, and thereby enables the possibility of its application to disjoint bilinear models with high degrees of degeneracy in imprecise decision analysis on a PC. Numerical reports are provided to validate its computational performance.

MIC: Memory analysis of IndexedDB data on Chromium-based applications

As Chromium-based applications continue to gain popularity, it is necessary for forensic investigators to obtain a comprehensive understanding of how they store and manage browsing artifacts from both filesystem and memory perspectives. In particular, the incognito mode developed in the current version of Chromium uses only physical memory to manage data related to active sessions. Therefore, handling physical memory is essential for tracking a user's browsing behaviour in incognito mode. This paper provides an in-depth examination of LevelDB, a lightweight key-value database utilized as Chromium's implementation for IndexedDB. In particular, we delve into the details of how IndexedDB data is managed through LevelDB, taking into account its low-level database file format. Furthermore, we thoroughly explore the possibility of residual data, both complete and incomplete, being retained as applications create and initialize IndexedDB-related data. Based on our research findings, we propose a systematic methodology for inspecting the internal structures of LevelDB-related C++ classes, carving these structures from binary streams, and interpreting the data for forensic analysis. In addition, we develop a proof-of-concept tool based on our approach and demonstrate its performance and effectiveness through case studies.

Targeting Histamine and Histamine Receptors for Memory Regulation: An Emotional Perspective.

Histamine has long been accepted as a pro-cognitive agent. However, lines of evidence have suggested that the roles of histamine in learning and memory processes are much more complex than previously thought. When explained by the spatial perspectives, there are many contradictory results. However, using emotional memory perspectives, we suspect that the histaminergic system may interplay with stress, reward inhibition, and attention to modulate emotional memory formation. The functional diversity of histamine makes it a viable target for clinical management of neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, we update the current knowledge about the functions of histamine in emotional memory and summarize the underlying molecular and neural circuit mechanisms. Finally, we review the main clinical studies about the impacts of histamine-related compounds on memory and discuss insights into future research on the roles of histamine in emotional memory. Despite the recent progress in histamine research, the histaminergic emotional memory circuits are poorly understood, and it is also worth verifying the functions of histamine receptors in a more spatiotemporally specific manner.

Place and Memory in Commemorating Remembrance of George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site

This paper seeks to delve into the dynamic interplay between place and memory at the George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a focus on how its physical monuments serve as vessels for collective memory and narrators of the city's history. This study engages with theoretical perspectives of memory and place to analyze commemorative processes and evaluates their role in maintaining cultural continuity and identity. The study conducted semi-structured interviews and distribute surveys among a carefully selected cross-section of George Town's populace, thus ensuring a representative narrative mosaic. The inquiry will include an assessment of the site and exploring its significance in the community's social fabric. The study recognizes the complexity of interpreting memories within ever-changing urban landscapes and addresses potential biases. Childhood memories, especially when structures remain, shape a person's image of a place. Their tales demonstrate their love for it. The length of a person's relationship with a place most affects their opinion. Long-term residents like it more. Place and memory are vital to commemorating George Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This relationship must frequently be adapted to urban life. The city acknowledges memory interpretation, resolves prejudices about memorial traditions, and embraces inclusive narratives to preserve cultural memory for future generations. The outcomes will offer new insights into conservation strategies and enrich our understanding of historical urban environments.

Individuals who rarely adopt observer perspectives report richer scene-based autobiographical memories

For most people, the capacity to adopt alternative visual perspectives when remembering emerges spontaneously due to the reconstructive nature of memories. Particularly as memories become more remote and are vulnerable to distortions, there is a shift in the perspective of memories from own eyes to observer-like views. Yet not all individuals report adopting novel perspectives in memories. The current study examines how self-reported differences in adopting an observer-like perspective influences autobiographical memory retrieval. Participants who reported rarely adopting an observer-like perspective had a diminished shift in perspective with memory remoteness and reported richer scene-related aspects of remembering. Additionally, the reduced tendency to use observer-like perspectives during autobiographical memory retrieval was linked to more accurate spatial visualization on a standardized objective test. Together these findings offer insights into individual differences in the malleability of memories, and the central role that maintaining our original perspective plays in preserving the personal past.

The differential illusion memory for high-associated abstract concepts (DIM-HA) effect

A vast body of evidence has shown that concrete concepts are processed faster and more accurately than abstract concepts in a variety of cognitive tasks. This phenomenon is widely known as the concreteness effect, and explanations for its occurrence seem to reflect differences in processing and organization for both types of representations. While there is considerable evidence to support this concreteness effect, the nature of these differences is still controversial. In developing an explanation, we have proposed a relatively different approach from a false memory perspective using the Deese–Roediger–McDermott paradigm. To explore the implications of the association in creating false memories, we explore behavioral and electrophysiologically the false memory effect, where targets were manipulated according to their association strength and their concreteness. Results showed that false recognition rates differed significantly between concrete and abstract critical words when they were associated strongly with their respective lists, which led to a higher proportion of abstract false alarms both in behavioral and electrophysiological experiments. The principal outcome, which was called the DIM-HA effect, was discussed in terms of theories of associative activation and qualitatively different representation.

Proposed Scheme for a Cavity‐Based Quantum Battery

AbstractA scheme for quantum batteries consisting of an atom‐cavity interacting system under a structured reservoir in the non‐Markovian regime is proposed. A multi‐parameter regime for the cavity‐reservoir coupling and reveal how these parameters affect the performance of the quantum battery is investigated. Specifically, how two distinct types of environments impact the charging process of the quantum battery from a memory perspective is examined. The findings indicate that in a memory‐influenced environment, both the stored energy and the extractable work are higher compared to when the cavity interacts with a memory‐less environment. This proposed scheme is simple and may be achievable for realization and implementation.

The role of metabolic memory in diabetic kidney disease: identification of key genes and therapeutic targets.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is characterized by complex pathogenesis and poor prognosis; therefore, an exploration of novel etiological factors may be beneficial. Despite glycemic control, the persistence of transient hyperglycemia still induces vascular complications due to metabolic memory. However, its contribution to DKD remains unclear. Using single-cell RNA sequencing data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, we clustered 12 cell types and employed enrichment analysis and a cell‒cell communication network. Fibrosis, a characteristic of DKD, was found to be associated with metabolic memory. To further identify genes related to metabolic memory and fibrosis in DKD, we combined the above datasets from humans with a rat renal fibrosis model and mouse models of metabolic memory. After overlapping, NDRG1, NR4A1, KCNC4 and ZFP36 were selected. Pharmacology analysis and molecular docking revealed that pioglitazone and resveratrol were possible agents affecting these hub genes. Based on the ex vivo results, NDRG1 was selected for further study. Knockdown of NDRG1 reduced TGF-β expression in human kidney-2 cells (HK-2 cells). Compared to that in patients who had diabetes for more than 10years but not DKD, NDRG1 expression in blood samples was upregulated in DKD patients. In summary, NDRG1 is a key gene involved in regulating fibrosis in DKD from a metabolic memory perspective. Bioinformatics analysis combined with experimental validation provided reliable evidence for identifying metabolic memory in DKD patients.

Radiation effects on multi-channel Forksheet-FET and Nanosheet-FET considering the bottom dielectric isolation scheme

This study analyzes the single-event transient (SET) characteristics of alpha particles on multi-channel Forksheet-FET and Nanosheet-FET at the device and circuit levels through 3D TCAD simulations. The study investigates the differences in SET responses based on the energy and incident position of incoming alpha particles, considering the structural variances between Forksheet-FET and Nanosheet-FET, as well as the presence or absence of bottom dielectric isolation (BDI) in the fabrication process. Specifically, the introduction of BDI is observed to significantly suppress the voltage drop caused by ‘unintended' current, as it can block the substantial electron-hole pairs (EHP) generated by injected alpha particles in the bulk substrate from reaching the FET terminals. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the size of abnormal current decreases as the energy of the injected alpha particle increases. Additionally, evaluating the response to SET based on the fundamental logic circuit, the CMOS inverter, revealed relatively small abnormal voltage drops for both Forksheet and Nanosheet when BDI was applied, confirming high immunity to radiation effects. Moreover, it can be observed that the application of BDI enhances reliability from a memory perspective by effectively suppressing voltage flips in the SRAM's cross-coupled latch circuit.

How Maximizers Estimate Their Decision Time: The Mediating Effect of Memory Reduction

ABSTRACTPrevious studies have divided people into maximizers and satisficers based on their tendency to seek the best in decision‐making. In the present research, we aim to unravel the time estimation process of maximizers in decision‐making through four studies. The results indicate that maximizers tend to underestimate the time spent in decision‐making, which is due to the difference in their memory reduction for decision‐related information compared to that of satisficers. Specifically, maximizers' memories of special information (rather than common information) become worse than those of satisficers, which leads to their underestimation of decision time. These findings provide a deeper understanding of how maximizers estimate their decision time, which offers important insights into how maximizers make their decisions. Overall, this research contributes to the literature by shedding new light on maximization from the perspective of memory.

This abstract presents the countercultural movement in Cariri in the 1970s and outlines the artistic-cultural productions developed by modern marginalized youth. It identifies that such productions are configured as cultural artifacts endowed with information, as well as understood in the dimension of memory records for the Cariri region. It employs the concept of information within the context of culture and memory through the perspective of memory records, under the prism of Information Science, understanding memory collectively. The methodology is constituted as bibliographical, as well as exploratory, and utilizes the Information Regime as an analytical tool for contextual frameworks and artistic productions of youths from the 1970s in the city of Crato, in the Cariri region of Ceará. It considers that the cultural artifacts developed by these youths stem from the cultural order, endowed with information and memory, recorded in various typological artistic-cultural forms. Keywords: cultural information; memory records; counterculture in Cariri in the 1970s.

Heritage and Reinvention: A Cultural Narrative Study of Han and Tang Ceremonial Ceramics from the Perspective of Cultural Memory

Cultural memory is the interactive expression of past historical memory, identity recognition, and cultural continuity. The cultural inheritance of Han and Tang ceremonial ceramics is not only a simple reminiscence and "replication" of the past culture, but also a cultural reinvention rooted in the present and future, aiming to remedy the erosion and dissolution suffered in daily life. Constructing cultural inheritance through cultural memory requires reshaping memory in the context of "living inheritance" combining the cultural connotation of Han and Tang ceremonial ceramics with the conditions of the times, and endowing them with new contemporary significance. Through the living inheritance and modern reinvention of Han dynasty ceremonial ceramics, cultural memory forms a cultural transmission chain, identifying the cultural genes of Han and Tang ceremonial ceramics applicable in contemporary China, and facilitating their creative transformation and innovative development.

Humanize the wounded legacies of the colonial past: the duty of post-memory in Estranha Guerra de Uso Comum

This work seeks to reflect on the wounded legacies of colonialism from a post memory perspective, that is, under the sign of an urgency to understand, humanize, and universalize the evils that resulted from the Portuguese experience in colonized African territories, namely, with regard to the traumas, silences and scars created by this overseas experience. To erase the past is, in the light of this pretense, a mistake. Therefore, the merit of this emerging paradigm of the study of memory highlights the historical will of a generation that, due to family proximity, seeks through processes of recognition and compassion to bring to the place of sorrow a more positive, understanding and fraternal light.

From Historical Memory to Cultural Identity: The Construction of Archetypal Symbols for the Statues and Images of Mazu

The archetypal symbols of Mazu’s statues and pictorial art are the mapping of a religious concept, a way of belief, and some programmed behaviours and rituals. They are also emotional imagery used to arouse the cultural awareness of international Chinese, inspire them to help and trust each other, to encourage and to comfort each other, to share weal and woe, and to always forge ahead. From the perspectives of historical memory, visual signs, and cultural identity, this paper explores the construction of archetypal symbols for the statues and images of Mazu. In addition, this paper generalizes the foundation and methods of this construction by analyzing the artistic forms and characteristics of the surviving Mazu images and statues and comparing the rules and regulations for making statues of other religions. Moreover, we consider the function of artistic signs that refer to and symbolize broader religious concepts and beliefs. The purpose of this work is to make the image of Mazu more visually present and strengthen cultural identity.

Toward a memory perspective on eating psychopathology: An investigation of the types of childhood and adolescence memories that are associated with eating disorder symptoms

The cognitive mechanisms through which specific life events affect the development and maintenance of eating disorders (ED) have received limited attention in the scientific literature. The present research aims to address this gap by adopting a memory perspective to explore the type of life events associated with eating psychopathology and how these events are encoded and reconstructed as memories. Two studies (n = 208 and n = 193) were conducted to investigate the relationship between specific memories and eating disorder psychopathology. Study 1 focused on parent-related memories, while Study 2 examined childhood/adolescence memories. Results from both studies revealed that need thwarting and shame in memories were associated with eating disorder symptoms, but only when individuals drew symbolic connections between these memories and food or eating behavior. Moreover, need thwarting and shame in such memories were associated with other eating and body image outcomes, including uncontrolled eating and body esteem. These results also held after controlling for a host of known predictors of eating disorder psychopathology, such as BMI, perfectionism, or thin ideal internalization. Overall, the present findings suggest that the reprocessing of memories symbolically and idiosyncratically linked to food and eating behavior might be a fruitful clinical intervention.

The Neural Mechanism Underlying Differentiated In-Group Versus Out-Group Face Recognition and Memory, Identification, Empathy and Pro-social Behavior: Evidence from fMRI and ERP Studies.

In the context of perceiving individuals within and outside of social groups, there are distinct cognitive processes and mechanisms in the brain. Extensive research in recent years has delved into the neural mechanisms that underlie differences in how we perceive individuals from different social groups. To gain a deeper understanding of these neural mechanisms, we present a comprehensive review from the perspectives of facial recognition and memory, intergroup identification, empathy, and pro-social behavior. Specifically, we focus on studies that utilize functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and event-related potential (ERP) techniques to explore the relationship between brain regions and behavior. Findings from fMRI studies reveal that the brain regions associated with intergroup differentiation in perception and behavior do not operate independently but instead exhibit dynamic interactions. Similarly, ERP studies indicate that the amplitude of neural responses shows various combinations in relation to perception and behavior.
