Bus services in Galloway have been catastrophically cut. This is because local government is broke, which is in turn because #SNP #ScotGov lacks the courage to reform local taxation.
I hadn't appreciated how bad the situation is because I've been ill since July and consequently haven't lef…

How Effectively Can Large Language Models Connect SNP Variants and ECG Phenotypes for Cardiovascular Risk Prediction?
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prediction remains a tremendous challenge due to its multifactorial etiology and global burden of morbidity and mortality. Despite the growing availability of genomic and electrophysiological data, extracting biologically meaningful insights from such high-dimensional, noisy, and sparsely annotated datasets remains a non-trivial task. Recently, LLMs has been applied effectively to predict structural variations in biological sequences. In this work, we explore the po…

"An SNP victory in May’s Holyrood contest would hardly be an earthquake, after 18 continuous years of nationalist government. It would, though, signal a remarkable comeback from a period of eclipse, and from an often dismal record on public services. For Labour, which did so well in Scotland in the 2024 general election, it would signal a crisis moment, imperilling Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership"

Ahh ...
De verkiezingen in Schotland gaan volgend jaar weer ergens over.

SNP MSP Claire Haughey at conference in Aberdeen: - Due to Westminster policies, there's been an 81% drop in Health and Care worker visas in one year, devastating Scotland's health and care sector.
MSP Emma Harper adds that Labour must allow foreign healthcare workers to bring their families with them when they come to Scotland.
Both are nurses, as well as MSPs.

Supersymmetric Schur polynomials have saturated Newton polytopes

Supersymmetric Schur polynomials have saturated Newton polytopes
We prove that every supersymmetric Schur polynomial has a saturated Newton polytope (SNP). Our approach begins with a tableau-theoretic description of the suport, which we encode as a polyhedron with a totally unimodular constraint matrix. The integrality of this polyhedron follows from the Hoffman-Kruskal criterion, thereby establishing the SNP property. To our knowledge, this is the first application of total unimodularity to the SNP problem.

"Labour has also won every time the Senedd has been contested, as it will be again in May. Yet, if the most recent Wales-wide poll holds good, that is set to change. Plaid will instead be the largest party, just ahead of Reform UK, with Labour third. Though still a minority, Plaid would be in government. In Welsh terms, that would be a political earthquake. Perhaps in Britain-wide terms too"

🟡 Five progressive motions passed this morning at the SNP conference without a single voice against, passed by acclaim. (is that a record?)
🟡 Fantastic & inspiring speech from STUC head Roz Foyer, I feel all tingly with hope now
🟡 Susan Aitken (leader of Glasgow city council) spoke of an international conference for city mayors that she recently chaired and how the housing crisis is an international phenomenon, and how Scotland needs homes for all residents, including refuge…

Decoding Positive Selection in Mycobacterium tuberculosis with Phylogeny-Guided Graph Attention Models
Positive selection drives the emergence of adaptive mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, shaping drug resistance, transmissibility, and virulence. Phylogenetic trees capture evolutionary relationships among isolates and provide a natural framework for detecting such adaptive signals. We present a phylogeny-guided graph attention network (GAT) approach, introducing a method for converting SNP-annotated phylogenetic trees into graph structures suitable for neural network analysis. Using 500 M…

Good for Mhairi Black!
“To be honest, I’m looking around thinking, ‘There are better organisations that I could be giving a membership to than this one that I don’t feel has been making the right decisions for quite some time.’”
Her reasons for leaving the #SNP now (Trans rights, Palestine) are at least as good as mine were (the Monarchy) in 2008. She's still a person who I'd vote…

🎉 I feel such happiness that the SNP and the Scottish Greens are campaigning on tolerance, respect & caring.
Unlike the UK/US, where politicians use hate to get votes, let us be that nation that uses love.
⏭️ Forward for a compassionate independent Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
