Abstract: We report on a search for a resonance $X$ decaying to a pair of muons in $e^{ }e^{-}\rightarrow \mu^ \mu^- X$ events in the 0.212-9.000 GeV/$c^{2}$ mass range, using 178 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the BelleII experiment at the SuperKEKB collider at a center of mass energy of 10.58 GeV. The analysis probes two different models of $X$ beyond the standard model: a $Z^{\prime}$ vector boson in the $L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}$ model and a muonphilic scalar. We observe no evidence for a signal and set exclusion limits at the 90\% confidence level on the products of cross section and branching fraction for these processes, ranging from 0.046 fb to 0.97 fb for the $L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}$ model and from 0.055 fb to 1.3 fb for the muonphilic scalar model. For masses below 6 GeV/$c^{2}$, the corresponding constraints on the couplings of these processes to the standard model range from 0.0008 to 0.039 for the $L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}$ model and from 0.0018 to 0.040 for the muonphilic scalar model. These are the first constraints on the muonphilic scalar from a dedicated search.

I'm still learning about health vs body size and this article does a good job addressing the complexities revealed by the popularity of Ozempic and similar drugs.
"By treating obesity as a disease rather than as a moral failing, these drugs and the doctors who champion them do bolster the more righteous aims of fat activists to divorce size from moral judgment. But these drugs also exist for weight loss, and their entire justification is the argument that obesity is a health …

Medical Bill Shock and Imperfect Moral Hazard
Consumers are sensitive to medical prices when consuming care, but delays in price information may distort moral hazard. We study how medical bills affect household spillover spending following utilization, leveraging variation in insurer claim processing times. Households increase spending by 22\% after a scheduled service, but then reduce spending by 11\% after the bill arrives. Observed bill effects are consistent with resolving price uncertainty; bill effects are strongest when pricing info…

How moral injury is impacting the news industry and what you can do about it
Experts define moral injury as the suffering that comes from witnessing, perpetrating or failing to prevent events that violate one’s own deeply held moral beliefs and values.It is not classified as a mental illness. But it can lead to depression, substance abuse or burnout, which is one reason news managers need to understand the phenomenon of moral injury — and ways to address it or head it off.

Hierarchical Indexing for Retrieval-Augmented Opinion Summarization
We propose a method for unsupervised abstractive opinion summarization, that combines the attributability and scalability of extractive approaches with the coherence and fluency of Large Language Models (LLMs). Our method, HIRO, learns an index structure that maps sentences to a path through a semantically organized discrete hierarchy. At inference time, we populate the index and use it to identify and retrieve clusters of sentences containing popular opinions from input reviews. Then, we use a…

> There is a moral imperative to disobey rules when following does not lead to justice.
— Ian Danskin

All people have lots of irrational feelings.
If we want to have a serious discussion about harm, prosecution, and imprisoning people we have a moral obligation to use reason and have a rational discussion.

“Chancellor Diermeier met our students not with dialogue but with security guards. And now the university has responded to a time-honored protest tactic, the sit-in, with punishment and expulsion,” Bjork-James said. “Our students stood up during a moral crisis, and we are failing them.”

Outcomes of the preliminary hearings for the 27 suspended students include three expulsions, one suspension and over 20 disciplinary probations, according to the Vanderbilt Divest Coalition.
