"An investigation led by The Associated Press found at least 94 people died after they were given sedatives and restrained by police from 2012 through 2021. About half of the 94 who died were Black."

Dozens of deaths reveal risks of sedating people restrained by police
An investigation led by The Associated Press has found that the practice of giving sedatives to people detained by police has spread quietly across the nation over the last 15 years, built on questionable science and backed by police-aligned experts. The injections are given by medical personnel during police encounters. The investigation shows how a strategy intended to reduce violence and save lives has resulted in some avoidable deaths. While sedatives were mentioned as a cause or contributi…

The sandpile model on the complete split graph: $q,t$-Schröder polynomials, sawtooth polyominoes, and a cyclic lemma
This paper builds on work initiated in Dukes (2021) that considered the classification of recurrent configurations of the Abelian sandpile model on the complete split graph. We introduce two statistics, wtopple$_{CTI}$ and wtopple$_{ITC}$, on sorted recurrent configurations. These statistics arise from two natural but different toppling conventions, CTI and ITC, for Dhar's burning algorithm as it is applied to the complete split graph. In addition, we introduce the bivariate $q,t$-CTI and $q,t$…

Algorithmic Changes Are Not Enough: Evaluating the Removal of Race Adjustment from the eGFR Equation
Changing clinical algorithms to remove race adjustment has been proposed and implemented for multiple health conditions. Removing race adjustment from estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations may reduce disparities in chronic kidney disease (CKD), but has not been studied in clinical practice after implementation. Here, we assessed whether implementing an eGFR equation (CKD-EPI 2021) without adjustment for Black or African American race modified quarterly rates of nephrology referr…

Platforms for Efficient and Incentive-Aware Collaboration
Collaboration is crucial for reaching collective goals. However, its effectiveness is often undermined by the strategic behavior of individual agents -- a fact that is captured by a high Price of Stability (PoS) in recent literature [Blum et al., 2021]. Implicit in the traditional PoS analysis is the assumption that agents have full knowledge of how their tasks relate to one another. We offer a new perspective on bringing about efficient collaboration among strategic agents using information de…

Selon les données les plus récentes, il y a environ 5000 autobus urbains dans la province sur près de 7 millions de véhicules enregistrés. Ils s'agit donc de 0,07 % de tous les véhicules sur les routes.
La part des déplacements effectués en auto solo a aussi augmenté dans les dernières années. Elle est passée de 68,5 % en 2017 Š 73,7 % en 2021.

13 G$ pour électrifier le transport collectif : Québec fait fausse route, dit une experte
L’électrification des autobus urbains souhaitée par le gouvernement du Québec coûtera très cher. En additionnant les montants prévus par les principales sociétés de transport collectif de la province, la facture s’élève à environ 13,1 milliards de dollars dans les dix prochaines années. Des investissements importants qui ne permettront pas de maximiser les bienfaits environnementaux et l'amélioration du service, selon une experte.

On balanceable and simply balanceable regular graphs
We continue the study of balanceable graphs, defined by Caro, Hansberg, and Montejano in 2021 as graphs $G$ such that any $2$-coloring of the edges of a sufficiently large complete graph containing sufficiently many edges of each color contains a balanced copy of $G$. While the problem of recognizing balanceable graphs was conjectured to be NP-complete by Dailly, Hansberg, and Ventura in 2021, balanceable graphs admit an elegant combinatorial characterization: a graph is balanceable if and only…

Moderate Deviation and Berry-Esseen Bounds in the $p$-Spin Curie-Weiss Model
Limit theorems for the magnetization in the $p$-spin Curie-Weiss model, for $p \geq 3$, has been derived recently by Mukherjee et al. (2021). In this paper, we strengthen these results by proving Cramér-type moderate deviation theorems and Berry-Esseen bounds for the magnetization (suitably centered and scaled). In particular, we show that the rate of convergence is $O(N^{-\frac{1}{2}})$ when the magnetization has asymptotically Gaussian fluctuations, and it is $O(N^{-\frac{1}{4}})$ when the f…

Understanding the impact of different social interactions is key to improving epidemic models.

Counting lattice points that appear as algebraic invariants of Cameron-Walker graphs
In 2021, Hibi et. al. studied lattice points in $\mathbb{N}^2$ that appear as $(\depth R/I,\dim R/I)$ when $I$ is the edge ideal of a graph on $n$ vertices, and showed these points lie between two convex polytopes. When restricting to the class of Cameron--Walker graphs, they showed that these pairs do not form a convex lattice polytope. In this paper, for the edge ideal $I$ of a Cameron--Walker graph on $n$ vertices, we find how many points in $\mathbb{N}^2$ appear as $(\depth(R/I),\dim(R/I))$…
