In the Light: Procedural Legitimacy, the Shadow Docket, and Support for the U.S. Supreme Court

This article examines the impact of procedural regularity on public perceptions of the U.S. Supreme Court. I argue that substantive legitimacy can stem from procedural regularity. Using a novel 2 × 2 × 2 experimental design I develop and test multiple hypotheses base on a procedural regularity and fairness model. The study analyzes how decisions made via the emergency docket affect both diffuse and specific support for the Court, drawing on a multi-wave survey of 3793 nationally representative respondents. Results reveal that procedural irregularities significantly reduce specific support for the Court, while diffuse support remains largely unaffected. This pattern holds even when controlling for factors such as democratic values, policy agreement, and perceived ideological distance. These findings suggest that the Court’s procedural choices can influence public perceptions, particularly specific support. This research offers important insights into the complex relationship between judicial procedures and public opinion, indicating that at least some of the Court's legitimacy is in its own hands. As debates intensify over the Court's use of expedited procedures, this study provides timely, empirical evidence of their potential consequences.

A Spatially Restricted Distribution of Thermophilic Endospores in Laptev Sea Shelf Sediments Suggests a Limited Dispersal by Local Geofluids.

Thermospores, the dormant resting stages of thermophilic bacteria, have been shown to be frequent but enigmatic components of cold marine sediments around the world. Multiple hypotheses have been proposed to explain their distribution, emphasizing their potential as model organisms for studying microbial dispersal via ocean currents. In the Arctic Ocean, the abundance and diversity of thermospores have previously been assumed to be low. However, this assessment has been based on data mainly from the western fjords of Svalbard, thus leaving most of the Arctic unexplored. Here, we expand the knowledge about the distribution of thermospores in the Arctic Ocean by investigating the abundance and diversity of thermospores in heated shelf sediments from three sites in the outer Laptev Sea. Two of the sites are located in an area with methane-emitting cold seeps with a thermogenic source signature suggestive of an origin in a deep hydrocarbon reservoir, while the third site is a reference site not known to be impacted by seepage. We found that activity of viable thermospore populations was more prominent at one of the investigated seep sites. This finding is supported by both radiotracer growth experiments showing thermophilic, sulfate-reducing activity triggered by heating, as well as 16S gene sequence analyses showing significantly enriched ASVs affiliated to the phylum Firmicutes following high-temperature incubations. An enrichment of the sulfate-reducing, endospore-forming class Desulfotomaculia in heated samples compared to unheated samples was also observed. Furthermore, several ASVs identified at the seep site are closely related to thermospore-producing bacteria associated with the deep biosphere, including hydrocarbon and hydrothermal systems. Based on the combined information from induced activity, estimated abundance, and phylogenetic composition using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we propose likely source environments and dispersal vectors for thermospores in the Arctic Ocean.

Larger colony sizes favoured the evolution of more worker castes in ants.

The size-complexity hypothesis is a leading explanation for the evolution of complex life on earth. It predicts that in lineages that have undergone a major transition in organismality, larger numbers of lower-level subunits select for increased division of labour. Current data from multicellular organisms and social insects support a positive correlation between the number of cells and number of cell types and between colony size and the number of castes. However, the implication of these results is unclear, because colony size and number of cells are correlated with other variables which may also influence selection for division of labour, and causality could be in either direction. Here, to resolve this problem, we tested multiple causal hypotheses using data from 794 ant species. We found that larger colony sizes favoured the evolution of increased division of labour, resulting in more worker castes and greater variation in worker size. By contrast, our results did not provide consistent support for alternative hypotheses regarding either queen mating frequency or number of queens per colony explaining variation in division of labour. Overall, our results provide strong support for the size-complexity hypothesis.

Socioeconomic Gender Variables Impact the Association between Hypertension and Chronic Health Issues: Cross-Sectional Study.

Our aim is to investigate if sex and gender influence the association of hypertension and their comorbidities. We investigated how gender differences in five socioeconomic factors impact the relation between hypertension and ten comorbidities including diabetes mellitus, renal disease, and chronic pulmonary disease in European countries grouped by their gender inequality index using representative survey data from the European Health Interview Survey. Using logistic regressions, we compute the ratio of odds ratios in females versus males. Therefore, an ORR > 1 is associated with a higher odds ratio for females than for males while an ORR < 1 means the opposite. To account for multiple hypothesis testing, we applied the Bonferroni correction. Hypertension in both sexes was associated with lower educational level, being unemployed, and lower income. In males, being divorced/widowed (OR1.12, p < 0.001) had an association to hypertension, whereas in females, being common-law/married (OR1.30, p < 0.001) and being divorced/widowed (OR1.17, p < 0.001) was associated with a higher risk for hypertension. Moreover, in hypertension, females who worked had an association with myocardial infarction (OR1.39, p < 0.001) and having post-secondary education had an association with arthrosis (OR 1.35, p < 0.001) compared to males. Our findings show that gender variables influence the association of hypertension and comorbidities, especially in females. These results can be used to inform targeted prevention measures taking gender-specific contextual factors into account.

Enhanced human motion detection with hybrid RDA-WOA-based RNN and multiple hypothesis tracking for occlusion handling

Human motion detection in complex scenarios poses challenges due to occlusions. This paper presents an integrated approach for accurate human motion detections by combining Adapted Canny Edge detection as a preprocessing step, backbone-modified Mask R-CNN for precise segmentation, Hybrid RDA-WOA-based RNN as a classification, and a Multiple-hypothesis model for effective occlusion handling. Adapted Canny Edge detection is utilized as an initial preprocessing step to highlight significant edges in the input image. The resulting edge map enhances object boundaries and highlights structural features, simplifying subsequent processing steps. The improved image is then passed through backbone-modified Mask R-CNN for the pixel-level segmentation of humans. Backbone-modified Mask R-CNN along with IoU, Euclidean Distance, and Z-Score recognizes moving objects in complex scenes exactly. After recognizing moving objects, the optimized Hybrid RDA-WOA-based RNN classifies humans. To handle the self-occlusion, Multiple Hypothesis Tracking (MHT) is used. Real-world situations frequently include occlusions where humans can be partially or completely hidden by objects. The proposed approach integrates a Multiple-hypothesis model into the detection pipeline to address this challenge. Moreover, the proposed human motion detection approach includes an optimized Hybrid RDA-WOA-based RNN trained with 2D representations of 3D skeletal motion. The proposed work was evaluated using the IXMAS, KTH, Weizmann, NTU RGB + D, and UCF101 Datasets. It achieved an accuracy of 98% on the IXMAS, KTH, Weizmann, and UCF101 Datasets and 97.1% on the NTU RGB + D Dataset. The simulation results unveil the superiority of the proposed methodology over the existing approaches.
