‘Not many events like this left’ — A Ukrainian literary festival in a city falsely claimed by Russia: https://benborges.xyz/2025/07/03/not-many-events-like-this.html

In 2022, Oregonians narrowly passed Measure 111,
⭐️amending their constitution and guaranteeing affordable health care as a fundamental right to every resident of the state.
Through years of organizing, coalition building and planning,
💥Oregon may enact its Universal Health Plan as early as fall 2027. 
In the face of extreme Medicaid cuts from the Trump administration
-- which will leave roughly 16 million people without health coverage by 2034

Could Oregon chart the course for universal health care in the US?
Oregon is on the verge of enacting a single-payer health care plan, but continued organizing is needed to secure this historic victory.

The Revolution Has Arrived: What the Current State of Large Language Models in Education Implies for the Future
Large language Models have only been widely available since 2022 and yet in less than three years have had a significant impact on approaches to education and educational technology. Here we review the domains in which they have been used, and discuss a variety of use cases, their successes and failures. We then progress to discussing how this is changing the dynamic for learners and educators, consider the main design challenges facing LLMs if they are to become truly helpful and effective as …

Loser: U.S. factories
When Democrats in 2022 created and expanded a slew of federal tax breaks for electric vehicles, solar panels, wind turbines, batteries,
they designed them to encourage companies to use components made in the United States.
That spurred a manufacturing boom, including solar-panel glass recyclers in Georgia and electric-vehicle assembly lines in Kentucky.
The new law could derail many of those factories.

Lazy B-Trees
Lazy search trees (Sandlund & Wild FOCS 2020, Sandlund & Zhang SODA 2022) are sorted dictionaries whose update and query performance smoothly interpolates between that of efficient priority queues and binary search trees - automatically, depending on actual use; no adjustments are necessary to the data structure to realize the cost savings. In this paper, we design lazy B-trees, a variant of lazy search trees suitable for external memory that generalizes the speedup of B-trees over binary searc…

Semantic Network Analysis of Achievement Standards in Physics of 2022 Revised Curriculum
We investigate semantic networks of achievement standards for physics subjects in the 2022 revised curriculum to derive information embedded in the curriculum. We extract each subject's keywords with node strength and random-walk betweenness, detect communities of physics terms by the optimized greedy algorithm, and find the connectivity of physics subjects using bipartite networks. The network analysis reveals three remarkable results: First, keywords are about scientific thinking and practice…

Its clear that Trump is effectively if not literally a Russian agent hell bent on destroying the USA...
"As president of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO Chrissy Lynch said in July after the Republicans passed the budget reconciliation bill cutting clean energy tax credits: “Working families shouldn’t have to purchase energy from billionaire oil tycoons and foreign governments or let them set the price of our energy bills.”
Her observation hit home earlier this week, when Joe Wallace, Costas Paris, Alex Leary, and Collin Eaton of the Wall Street Journal reported that the comments of Russian president Vladimir Putin and Trump at their meeting in Alaska on August 15 in which they talked about doing more business together were not vague goodwill. ExxonMobil and Russia’s biggest energy company, Rosneft, have been in secret talks to resume a partnership to extract Russian oil, including in the Arctic, that had been severed by Russia’s attack on Ukraine in 2022."

Large maximal subgroups of almost simple classical groups
A proper subgroup $H$ in a finite group $G$ is said to be large if $|H|^3\geq |G|$. In this paper, we determined all large maximal subgroups of almost simple classical groups. Combined with the work of Alavi and Burness (J. Algebra 421 (2015) 187--233) and Alavi, Bayat, and Daneshkhah (J. Algebraic Combin. 55 (2022) 729--779), this completes the classification of all large maximal subgroups of almost simple groups.

We discuss intermediate survey diagnostics, including calibration of the known RV zero point offset introduced following the Contreras fire in 2022 and the identification of an undiagno…

A Data-Driven Model Predictive Controller to manage epidemics: The case of SARS-CoV-2 in Mauritius
This work investigates the benefits of implementing a systematic approach to social isolation policies during epidemics. We develop a mixed integer data-driven model predictive control (MPC) scheme based on an SIHRD model which is identified from available data. The case of the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (also known as COVID-19) in Mauritius is used as a reference point with data obtained during the period December 2021 to May 2022. The isolation scheme is designed with the control decision…

Due to precedents, e.g., Tello (2022) and Winkler (2022), the exponent $α= \frac{N}{N-1}$ is the threshold for finite-time blow-up …

Evidence of Time-Dependent Diffusive Shock Acceleration in the 2022 September 5 Solar Energetic Particle Event
On 2022 September 5, a large solar energetic particle (SEP) event was detected by Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and Solar Orbiter (SolO), at heliocentric distances of 0.07 and 0.71 au, respectively. PSP observed an unusual velocity-dispersion signature: particles below $\sim$1 MeV exhibited a normal velocity dispersion, while higher-energy particles displayed an inverse velocity arrival feature, with the most energetic particles arriving later than those at lower energies.

Characterizing Online Activities Contributing to Suicide Mortality among Youth
The recent rise in youth suicide highlights the urgent need to understand how online experiences contribute to this public health issue. Our mixed-methods approach responds to this challenge by developing a set of themes focused on risk factors for suicide mortality in online spaces among youth ages 10-24, and a framework to model these themes at scale. Using 29,124 open text summaries of death investigations between 2013-2022, we conducted a thematic analysis to identify 12 types of online act…

Animal dominance interaction data published over a century of research. The archive contains 434 agonistic interaction datasets, totaling over 241,000 interactions. A directed edge (i,j) corresponds to an antagonist interaction between i (winner) and j (loser). If a 'weight' edge property map exists, it counts the number of such interactions.
This network has 6 nodes and 16 edges.

Leveraging Minute-by-Minute Soccer Match Event Data to Adjust Team's Offensive Production for Game Context
In soccer, game context can result in skewing offensive statistics in ways that might misrepresent how well a team has played. For instance, in England's 1-2 loss to France in the 2022 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal, England attempted considerably more shots (16 to France's 8) and more corners (5 to 2), potentially suggesting they played better despite the loss. However, these statistics were largely accumulated when France was ahead and more willing to concede offensive initiative to England. To …
