The deflated-Welch statistic: a closed-form, guaranteed-level test for heteroscedastic one-way ANOVA William J. Dwyer, MD, MPH, FAAP — Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Massachusetts Lowell. ORCID 0009-0004-0855-7222. Concept DOI (always resolves to the latest version): 10.5281/zenodo.21908169. What this is The reproducibility deposit for the deflated-Welch statistic T_BB, a closed-form, guaranteed-level test for heteroscedastic one-way ANOVA (the Behrens–Fisher problem for k ≥ 3 groups). Welch's test becomes liberal under skew and unstable variance weights at small samples; T_BB = Q(s²)·exp(−R) keeps the ordinary group means and buys a guaranteed level by deflating the Welch quadratic by a Berger–Boos scale-inflation radius R. Three operating points are provided: a fixedcalibrated radius (κ_s), a design-adaptive near-guarantee radius (closed-form polygamma Cornish–Fisher with a finite-nkurtosis guard), and a fully proved smallest-eigenvalue radius R_eig (Gaussian, extended under bounded kurtosis). What the deposit contains Manuscript (author + anonymized) and a derivations supplement (DA1–DA13) plus a long-form derivations companion, covering: why Welch fails under skew in closed form; the Berger–Boos deflation and its exact worst-case radius; the polygamma-cumulant Cornish–Fisher radius with saddlepoint-exact normal backbone; the excess-kurtosis tail term with its finite-n upper-confidence guard; the imbalance correction; the fully proved smallest-eigenvalue radius (with the k-group multiplicity fix, free-β optimization, and the proved-under-bounded-kurtosis widening); and the k-sample Behrens–Fisher null distribution. Interactive demonstrator rerun_cochran/honest_anova.html — computes raw-mean Welch, the fixed / adaptive / proved T_BB radii, the estimand-changing transform routes, and the full routing receipt in the browser, reproducing the deposited Python. Its engine is extracted as a standalone Node module (m01A_anova_engine.js) and checked cell-by-cell against Python across an 84-design taxonomy (verify_anova_engine_taxonomy.py/.js, max |Δp| = 0.00000). Reproducibility scripts (rerun_cochran/, rerun/) — every reported number traces to a named, deterministically-seeded script (size/power/surface, the calibration and information-limit decompositions, the proved-radius verification, the imbalance calibration, the skew-router branch, and the figures). Real-data evidence — anova_flip_scan.py scans 2,783 public one-way layouts (254 datasets): guaranteed T_BBwithholds ~41% of Welch-significant calls, concentrated where the weight-instability screen fires, and never manufactures significance (Table 7 / Figure 15). Figures and the deterministic deposit builder (fixed timestamps → stable md5). All evaluation is simulation-based; the one empirical component is the public-dataset scan, which uses only openly distributed data.

Creators, freelancers, and small businesses in emerging markets are among the earliest and most intensive users of generative image and video tools, yet the academic evidence on their adoption remains fragmented across disciplines. This article contributes a two-part evidence base. The first part is a verified corpus of 850 unique academic works on generative AI adoption, assembled through 190 audited queries across OpenAlex, Crossref, and arXiv; every record is deduplicated, 838 carry a resolvable DOI, and 762 are confirmed by two or more independent bibliographic sources. Coverage analysis of the corpus quantifies a specific gap: only nine works simultaneously address emerging markets, image or video generation, and creator or small-business populations, and the intersection of video generation with small and medium-sized enterprises remains empty. The second part supplies behavioral evidence from a 45-day production window of Geramaker, a Brazilian pay-per-use platform for AI image, video, narration, and music generation, covering 2,605 accounts, 7,005 model calls, and 62 paid transactions. Adoption proves near-instant under free entry (median of one minute from signup to first output), purchase decisions compress to minutes on local instant-payment rails, and image-to-video animation of existing photographs dominates video demand. Retention, rather than activation, emerges as the binding constraint: 96% of users generate on a single calendar day. The article maps the observed drivers and inhibitors onto established adoption constructs and derives a research agenda for the under-studied intersection the corpus reveals.

Abstract This paper examines the challenges posed by Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) to cyber law and legal responsibility in India. It argues that the rapid generation and dissemination of synthetic text, images, audio and video complicate traditional approaches to responsibility, particularly where developers, deployers, users and intermediaries exercise different degrees of control over AI-related risks. The study analyses the interaction of the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, while considering data governance, intermediary liability, AI-generated digital evidence, cybersecurity, transparency and professional responsibility. It proposes a risk-sensitive, lifecycle-based framework in which legal duties correspond to the degree of control, foreseeable harm and institutional responsibility. Particular emphasis is placed on human oversight in AI-assisted adjudication, verification of AI-generated legal material, provenance of synthetic content, privacy and security by design, effective remedies, and institutional documentation through AI-use registers for high-impact applications. The paper concludes that India should promote responsible AI adoption through a human-centred cyber-law framework that balances technological innovation with privacy, authenticity, security and the integrity of legal institutions.

Abstract The rapid convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), data science, and legal frameworks has created a profound crisis within global and domestic Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) regimes. Traditionally, copyright and patent laws were constructed around the central premise of human agency, recognizing intellectual labor as an extension of human dignity and personality. However, the rise of Generative AI platforms, machine learning models, and autonomous algorithmic systems disrupts foundational legal principles including authorship, inventiveness, originality, and infringement. This paper examines the multidisciplinary intersection of law, computer science, and social sciences regarding IPR. It deconstructs three critical dilemmas: (1) the legal status of AI-generated works and the "human author" requirement under copyright law; (2) the patentability of AI-invented subject matter and the doctrine of the "Person Having Ordinary Skill in the Art" (PHOSITA); and (3) the socio-economic implications of training data scraping, digital commons, and data sovereignty. By analyzing statutory provisions, recent judicial precedents across jurisdictions, and socio-legal frameworks, this study highlights the inadequacy of existing legal doctrines to address non-human innovation. The paper proposes a balanced normative framework incorporating a sui generis legal model for AI outputs, compulsory licensing for dataset training, and transparent algorithmic disclosure to foster technological innovation while protecting human creators and public domain integrity.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools have become embedded in the everyday academic practice of undergraduate engineering students, yet most large language models remain optimised for standard English rather than the code-mixed, multilingual registers through which students in linguistically plural regions actually think and communicate. This study examines technology acceptance of vernacular and code-mixed AI interaction among 84 undergraduate engineering students enrolled in APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU)-affiliated institutions in Kasaragod district, Kerala, a region historically described as Saptha Bhasha Sangama Bhoomi, the confluence land of seven languages. Using a structured questionnaire grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989), the study measured Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), Output Accuracy, and Linguistic Inclusion across five research hypotheses. Findings indicate that students from regional-medium secondary schooling backgrounds report significantly higher vernacular or code-mixed AI prompting than English-medium peers, chi-square(3, N = 84) = 22.91, p < .001. Perceived Usefulness correlates strongly with Perceived Ease of Use, r = .64, p < .001. Students who habitually use vernacular or code-mixed prompts report significantly higher ease of use than strictly English prompters, t(82) = 2.01, p = .048. Perceived terminological distortion is positively associated with reported reliance on AI-translated academic content, r = .27, p = .012, and native speakers of the unscripted Tulu dialect report markedly higher AI comprehension failure than speakers of scripted regional languages, t(79) = 11.60, p < .001. The results support all five hypotheses and highlight a persistent linguistic-inclusion gap in generative AI systems used within multilingual engineering classrooms. Implications for dialect-aware AI design and inclusive digital pedagogy in polyglot regions such as Kasaragod are discussed.

Background. Large language models (LLMs) have been rapidly adopted in medicine since late 2022, yet their role in the time-critical acute stroke pathway—from symptom recognition and prehospital triage to emergency diagnosis, imaging-related text tasks, reperfusion decision support, and acute-phase documentation and communication—has not been systematically mapped. Existing reviews cover the whole stroke-care continuum or mix LLMs with traditional NLP, leaving the acute phase under-characterized. Objective. To map the applications, evidence maturity, and implementation readiness of LLMs across the acute stroke pathway. Methods. This scoping review follows the PRISMA-ScR guideline. We search PubMed/MEDLINE, Europe PMC (including preprints), and Google Scholar for studies published from November 2022 onward. Eligible studies center on LLMs/generative AI applied to any stage of the acute stroke pathway. Two reviewers independently screen records and chart data using a piloted form. Evidence is synthesized along two dimensions: five pathway stages (prehospital recognition/dispatch; emergency triage and differential diagnosis; imaging-related text tasks; reperfusion decision support; acute documentation and communication) and three evidence-maturity tiers (simulation/benchmark; retrospective real-world data; prospective deployment). Implementation barriers (hallucination, bias, privacy, regulation, liability, integration, cost) are thematically summarized. Registration note. This review is registered on OSF; the full protocol is available in the attached files.
This research paper advances a novel constructive theological argument regarding the intersection of biblical eschatology and generative artificial intelligence (AI). Moving beyond traditional inquiries into the identity or chronology of the Antichrist, the author investigates the mechanism of deception described in New Testament corpora (Matthew 7, 2 Thessalonians 2, 2 Corinthians 11, and Revelation 13). Core ThesisThe paper identifies "Counterfeit Sanctity"—the weaponized mimesis of sacred language and divine invocation—as the central structural weapon of the eschatological deceiver. It argues that the final deception functions not through overt blasphemy or opposition to God, but through the sophisticated capture and impersonation of the Holy Spirit’s linguistic and phenomenological register. Technological SynthesisThe author identifies Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative heuristics as the first historical apparatus capable of realizing this mechanism at civilizational scale. By decoupling religiously fluent, spiritually authoritative speech from ontological character and pneumatic presence, generative AI allows for the manufacturing of "ownerless" sanctity. Key Contributions Exegetical Analysis: A synthesis of the "Lord, Lord" rejection in Matthew 7 with the "lying signs" of 2 Thessalonians 2. Patristic Grounding: Confirmation of the mimesis-of-the-sacred theory in the works of Irenaeus, Cyril of Jerusalem, and John Chrysostom. AI Epistemology: A structural comparison between the "disguise of light" (2 Cor. 11:14) and the output mechanics of generative systems. Practical Theology: A proposed "Pneumatological Epistemology" for the digital age, focusing on communal discernment (diakrisis), relational accountability, and the "Fruit Test" (Galatians 5).
