Cyberbullying Detection via Aggression-Enhanced Prompting
Detecting cyberbullying on social media remains a critical challenge due to its subtle and varied expressions. This study investigates whether integrating aggression detection as an auxiliary task within a unified training framework can enhance the generalisation and performance of large language models (LLMs) in cyberbullying detection. Experiments are conducted on five aggression datasets and one cyberbullying dataset using instruction-tuned LLMs. We evaluated multiple strategies: zero-shot, …

Today, power speaks in the seductive language of images laced with bigotry, seeded with cruelty, and driven by the logic of exclusion and ethnic cleansing.
Culture is no longer merely a reflection of the past;
it has become its erasure.
It functions as pedagogy — through what Ariella Aïsha Azoulay names as “imperial technologies,” and what I have called “disimagination machines.”
It is designed to strip the colonized not only of their futures but of their historie…

The Interview: Ariella Aïsha Azoulay
“The most intimate aspects of our life continue to be shaped by imperialism, which means that some of the most intimate patterns of experience are shared”

Mind the Gap: From Resolving Theoretical Foundations of Chiral(ity)-Induced Spin Selectivity to Pioneering Implementations in Quantum Sensing
The chiral(ity)-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect, where electrons passing through a chiral medium acquire significant spin-polarization at ambient temperatures, has been widely observed experimentally, yet its theoretical foundations remain actively debated. Open questions persist regarding whether CISS originates from helical geometry or more general chirality, and whether a unified mechanism can account for phenomena across solid-state and soft-matter systems, mesoscopic films, and sing…

A New Lifetime Distribution: Exponentiated Exponential-Pareto-HalfNormal Mixture Model for Biomedical Applications
This study introduces the Exponentiated-Exponential-Pareto-Half Normal Mixture Distribution (EEPHND), a novel hybrid model developed to overcome the limitations of classical distributions in modeling complex real-world data. By compounding the Exponentiated-Exponential-Pareto (EEP) and Half-Normal distributions through a mixture mechanism, EEPHND effectively captures both early-time symmetry and long-tail behavior, features which are commonly observed in survival and reliability data. The model…
