Unraveling the effects of a rehabilitation program on the socioeconomic wellbeing of beggars and begging motivation: evidence from an urban area of Bangladesh

Md. Karimul Islam, Nishad Nasrin, Jannatul Naim et al. · 2023 · Humanities & Social Sciences Communications

Abstract Beggars have largely been leading miserable lives in the lower stratum of society since time immemorial. Government or private-led policies are rarely undertaken to improve the lives of this unfortunate societal segment. The local governments in divisional cities of Bangladesh have adopted a series of interventions aimed at improving the socioeconomic wellbeing of beggars and equipping them with alternative livelihood management options. We evaluated the effectiveness of this intervention (the rehabilitation of beggars) in the Khulna City Corporation (KCC) area, Bangladesh; we gathere

Can Large Language Models Reliably Extract Physiology Index Values from Coronary Angiography Reports?

Sofia Morgado, Filipa Valdeira, Niklas Sander et al. · 2026 · arXiv

Coronary angiography (CAG) reports contain clinically relevant physiological measurements, yet this information is typically in the form of unstructured natural language, limiting its use in research. We investigate the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to automatically extract these values, along with their anatomical locations, from Portuguese CAG reports. To our knowledge, this study is the first addressing physiology indexes extraction from a large (1342 reports) corpus of CAG reports, and one of the few focusing on CAG or Portuguese clinical text. We explore local privacy-preserving gen

Fragments in Gaussian Wave-Packet Dynamics with and without correlations

D. Kiderlen, P. Danielewicz · 1996 · arXiv

Generalization of Gaussian trial wave functions in quantum molecular dynamics models is introduced, which allows for long-range correlations characteristic for composite nuclear fragments. We demonstrate a significant improvement in the description of light fragments with correlations. Utilizing either type of Gaussian wave functions, with or without correlations, however, we find that we cannot describe fragment formation in a dynamic situation. Composite fragments are only produced in simulations if they are present as clusters in the substructure of original nuclei. The difficulty is traced
