AbstractHenry Ford once said, “For most purposes, a man with a machine is better than a man without a machine.” To this, engineers today propose an addendum – “and a man that is a machine is best of all” – which they have made their goal. The world over, engineers are working to make the ultimate machine, “the holy grail of artificial intelligence,” a conscious humanoid. On the one hand, such a “machine” will be capable of relieving us of all our burdens.

Repeatedly monitored quantum walks with a rate 1/τ yield discrete-time trajectories which are inherently random. With these paths the first-hitting time with sharp restart is studied. We find an instability in the optimal mean hitting time, which is not found in the corresponding classical random-walk process. This instability implies that a small change in parameters can lead to a rather large change of the optimal restart time.

AbstractDemocracy is backsliding in Europe and around the world as citizens’ trust in elected representatives and institutions wanes. Representation theories and studies have mostly centred on the representatives, rather than the represented. But how do citizens perceive political representation? Are their perceptions of any consequence at all?

AbstractBackground and Objectives The aging process is characterized by encountering challenging situations and losses that may influence the subjective wellbeing of older adults. This study investigates the influence of the political-social crisis that unfolded in Israel in 2023 on the wellbeing of senior citizens. Additionally, it explores whether their participation in protests has contributed to their wellbeing.

Ageism is defined as stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination based on age. Perceived age discrimination (e.g., the behavioral component of ageism) is highly prevalent in society, reported by one in three people in Europe. The present study examined variations in perceived age discrimination in the second half of life.

T-cell receptor beta chain (TCRB) repertoires are crucial for understanding immune responses. However, their high diversity and complexity present significant challenges in representation and analysis. The main motivation of this study is to develop a unified and compact representation of a TCRB repertoire that can efficiently capture its inherent complexity and diversity and allow for direct inference.

AbstractThe well-known “cocktail party effect” refers to incidental detection of salient words, such as one's own name, in supposedly-unattended speech. However, empirical investigation of the prevalence of this phenomenon and the underlying mechanisms has been limited to extremely artificial contexts and has yielded conflicting results.
