Psychometric Network Analysis of the Hungarian WAIS
J. Intell. 2019, 7, 21; doi:10.3390/jintelligence7030021Christopher J. Schmank, Sara Anne Goring, Kristof Kovacs and Andrew R. A. ConwayReceived: 1 June 2019; Accepted: 24 August 2019; Published: 9 September 2019Abstract: The positive manifold —the finding that cognitive ability measures demonstrate positive correlations with one another—has led to models of intelligence that include a general cognitive ability or general intelligence (g). This view has been reinforced using factor analysis and reflective, higher-order latent variable models. However, a new theory of intelligence, Process Overlap Theory (POT), posits t...

A Slumbering European Crisis Awakens: Catalonia
Ted Galen CarpenterA troubling development that has largely fallen through the cracks while media and public attention is focused on Syria ’s turmoil, is the revival of serious political tensions in Spain’s Catalonia region.Pro-independence Catalans pressed their agenda in 2017, attempting to hold a referendum on secession from Spain.In doing so, they badlyoverreached.The national government in Madrid barred the referendum, and Spanish security forces sent to prevent the ballotingbrutallyattacked mostly peaceful demonstrators in Catalonia ’s largest city, Barcelona.Spanish authorities then arrested the referendum ’...

Box-tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis
The Box-tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis, is an Asian species of moth (usually seen in (Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, the Russian Far East, and India), that is gradually spreading, presumably with the advent of box hedges on new housing estates, across the South East of England.
Box-tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis (Walker, 1859), to actinic light Jul 2019, VC29
It would’ve arrived as eggs/larvae on imported box (Buxus), first recorded here in 2007. Its larvae can destroy a box hedge. Another reason to go native when it comes to planting…probably too late for native box now though. I saw my first one in the trap...

Breathtaking: The Future Of Respiratory Care And Pulmonology
Smoke-measuring smart shirts, breath sound analyzing
algorithms, and smart inhalers pave the way of pulmonology and respiratory care
into the future. As the number of patients suffering from asthma, COPD, or lung
cancer due to rising air pollution and steady smoker-levels will unfortunately
not decrease any time soon, we looked around what technology can do to help
both patients and caregivers. The results are breathtaking.
Attacks of
breathlessness are too common
The diseases which pulmonologists and respiratory care
specialists attempt to fight are among the most common conditions in the modern
world – and the n...

Capital Gains Taxes: Already Too High
Chris EdwardsDemocrats are proposing to raise capital gains taxes. Ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, Ron Wyden, wants to tax capital gains on an annual basis, not the current realization basis. He also wants to hike the top capital gains tax rate for high earners to match the top rate on ordinary income. CNBCreports“Almost every major Democratic presidential candidate supports taxing capital gains as ordinary income . . .Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Thursday outlined an even more aggressive planthat would impose a new 14.8 percent tax on investment income to help finance Social Security.”These are radical and...

When Technology Remembers: Digital Health And Alzheimer ’s Disease
Gradual memory loss, cognitive decline, wandering off
to unknown places, being unable to dress in the morning: to live with dementia
and Alzheimer’s disease might be a heart-wrenching burden for both patients and
their loved ones. As the global population ages, and the number of individuals
suffering from these conditions rises, digital technologies must step forward
and offer some solutions for early detection and disease management. That’s
what we examined in detail here, so let’s see the intersections of digital
health and Alzheimer’s disease.

What Happens To Your Medical Data After You Die?
How familiar are you with your digital health data footprint? Do you even know what kind of health data is generated about you and where it is stored? And what happens with this ever-growing pile of information after you die? Who owns this data and who can get access to it? Why could this even be interesting and for whom? We have dived into the mainly overlooked area of posthumous medical data and almost got lost. Here are our findings but just a heads up: it’s messy and complicated.

How Large Is American Government?
America ’s strong economic growth and high living standards were built on our relatively smaller government. U.S. per capita income is higher than nearly all major countries and our government spending is still somewhat less.However, America ’s lower-spending advantage has diminished. TheOECD publishes data on total federal-state-local government spending as a percentage of GDP for its member countries. The chart shows spending for the United States and for the simple average of 30 OECD countries which have data back to 1995. These are high-income countries such as Canada, Germany, and Japan.The chart shows that the Un...

Understanding Machine Learning And Deep Learning In Medicine
Algorithms, datasets, machine learning, deep learning, cognitive computing, big data, and artificial intelligence: IT expressions that took over the language of 21st-century healthcare with surprising force. If medical professionals want to get ahead of the curve, they rather get familiarized with the basics of A.I. and have an idea of what medical problems they aim to solve. So, let’s take a closer look at machine learning and deep learning in medicine.

ante-room of artificial intelligence

It ’s Time For The Rise of E-Physicians
Patient empowerment, the spread of digital technologies and the widening access to medical information coupled with global doctor shortages, rising life expectancy and the ever-higher numbers of chronic diseases call for a change in the practice of medicine. The centuries-old approach to the medical profession cannot deal with the waves of the 21st century. Physicians should experience a shift from the lone wolf to the curious team player, from the rule follower to the creative and from the demigod to the guide in the jungle of digital health. That’s the main argument of the latest publication of The Medical Futurist Ins...

Nanotechnology Will Break The Curse Running Through Generations
A fictional tale about the healing power of technology
The mutation of the CDH1 gene determines the fate of
generations of men in a Czech small town. The great-grandfather
dies unexpectedly upon returning home from the trenches of the first World War
– he survives the bullets of the Italian front
but gives in after a pint of beer and schnitzel. The grandfather was already diagnosed
with an illness, gastric cancer, which required the removal of his entire
stomach – but his life couldn’t be saved either. His son was luckier, he was
diagnosed in time with an early stage hereditary diffuse gastric cancer and had
e...

Does Digital Health Technology Know Women?
The majority of period tracker apps fail women, fitness trackers, and wearables fail pregnant women terribly. They were most probably designed and developed by men, and most likely not consulted by future users. We looked around at the women’s health and “femtech” market and found that digital health technology has yet to live up to female expectations. So far, the area is under-researched, underfunded and not understood.
Technology – Still a man’s
world
In spite of the slogan
of diversity pinned on the flag of many tech companies, the field is highly
dominated by men. It is easy to imagine Silicon Val...
