A Systematic Review on Calibration Transfer and Maintenance by Université de Sherbrooke, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Chemical and Biotechnological Engineering
No full textThis registered project documents a systematic review of calibration transfer (CT) and calibration maintenance (CM) methods, with a focus on near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and multivariate calibration models used in regulated, real-world analytical settings. The review consolidates and critically analyzes published evidence on how CT/CM approaches are applied, validated, and reported, with the aim of clarifying best practices, identifying gaps, and supporting robust model lifecycle management consistent with Quality by Design (QbD) and Process Analytical Technology (PAT) principles.
The project includes structured screening and data-extraction workflows and provides transparent, reusable datasets derived from the review process. The file “SR_pharma” contains the full extraction table for the articles included in the published pharmaceutical-focused systematic review, enabling reproducibility, secondary analyses, and future updates of the evidence base. The file “SR_AFS” contains extracted information from relevant studies and publicly available datasets in agriculture, food, and soil domains that were excluded from the pharmaceutical review by scope; this companion dataset remains valuable for cross-domain comparison, benchmarking, and future calibration transfer research in related application areas.
By making both the systematic synthesis and the underlying extraction tables openly accessible, this OSF registration is intended to promote methodological transparency, encourage consistent evaluation practices, and accelerate the development of reliable, implementable calibration transfer and maintenance strategies by both expert chemometricians and non-expert practitioners

Is this real? Susceptibility to deepfakes in machines and humans
No full textDeepfakes are synthetic media created by deep-generative methods to fake a person’s audio-
visual representation. Growing sophistication of deepfake technology poses significant
challenges for both machine learning (ML) algorithms and humans. Here we used real and
deepfake static face images (Study 1) and dynamic videos (Study 2) (i) to investigate sources of
misclassification errors in machines, (ii) to identify psychological mechanisms underlying
detection performance in humans, and (iii) to compare humans and machines in their
classification decision accuracy and confidence. Study 1 found that machines achieved
excellent performance in classifying real and deepfake images, with good accuracy in feature
classification. Humans, in contrast, experienced challenges in distinguishing between real and
deepfake images. Their classification accuracy was at chance level, and this underperformance
relative to machines was accompanied by a truth bias and low confidence for the detection of
deepfake images. Using video stimuli, Study 2 found that performance of machines was near
chance level, with poor feature classification. Further, the machines showed greater truth bias
and low reduced decision confidence relative to humans who outperformed machines in the
detection of video deepfakes. Finally, the study revealed that higher analytical thinking, lower
positive affect, and greater internet skills were associated with better video deepfake detection
in humans. Combined, findings across these two studies advance understanding of factors
contributing to deepfake detection in both machines and humans and could inform intervention
toward tackling the growing threat from deepfakes by identifying areas of particular benefit from
human-AI collaboration to optimize deepfake detection
Auditory Kappa Effects Can Be Explained by Perceptual Grouping Based on Feature Similarity
No full textPitch, timing, and space in auditory perception interact, causing changes in one dimension to distort judgments of others (Boltz, 1998; Henry et al., 2009; Jones et al., 2006). The auditory kappa effect exemplifies this, as larger pitch changes between sequential tones create an illusion of longer time intervals (Cohen et al., 1954). Traditionally studied with three-tone sequences (‘A-X-B’), this effect shows that varying the middle tone’s pitch relative to the first and third tones skews time interval perception. The prevailing auditory motion hypothesis (Henry & McAuley, 2009) proposes that a “pitch velocity” is inferred from a consistent pitch trajectory. We tested this against the auditory grouping hypothesis, which proposes that feature similarity affects perceived timing. Experiment 1 tested the kappa effect under varying pitch separations, revealing slower pitch velocities produced larger effects, contradicting the motion hypothesis. Experiment 2 examined inconsistent pitch trajectories to challenge the stability of pitch velocity referents, and still found kappa effects, further supporting the auditory grouping hypothesis. Experiment 3 investigated the kappa effect in auditory space, confirming that sounds presented closer in space are judged as occurring closer in time. These findings suggest that the kappa effect results from the grouping of auditory events by feature similarity, opposing the auditory motion hypothesis
A Commentary on Anna Komnene’s “the Alexiad”, Books X and XI
No full textThis commentary explores Books X and XI of Anna Komnene's The Alexiad, which recounts the events surrounding the First Crusade from a Byzantine perspective. Written over forty years after the events by the daughter of Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, Anna's narrative aims to defend her father's actions while critiquing the Latin crusaders, particularly Bohemund. The commentary identifies two central themes: the portrayal of Bohemund as deceitful and the exoneration of Alexios from accusations of oath-breaking. Anna’s depiction of the Latins, particularly their barbarity and breach of trust, serves to absolve her father of responsibility while framing the Crusade as a betrayal of Byzantium. Despite its valuable insights into Byzantine geopolitics and imperial strategy, the historical reliability of The Alexiad is undermined by omissions, contradictions, and an anti-Latin bias, reflecting Anna’s partiality and the challenges of interpreting events through a retrospective lens. Ultimately, the text serves more as a politically motivated narrative than a straightforward historical account, illustrating the complex interplay of power, loyalty, and identity in the context of the Crusades
The unity and diversity of executive functions across adulthood in a diverse Brazilian sample with varying educational attainment
No full textExecutive functions (EFs) are a set of cognitive abilities associated with many social and clinical outcomes which are believed to be sensitive to culture, age and educational attainment. Yet, theoretical models of EF and tasks used to measure them were developed mainly for highly educated young adults from developed countries. Here we assessed EFs in a diverse cohort from a rural town in Brazil (Baependi Heart Study: N=1253; 753 females), in which age (18-88 year) and schooling (0-23 years) varied widely. Based on a popular theoretical model of EF (the unity diversity EF framework), which describes the pattern of inter-associations of three specific types of EFs (inhibitions, shifting and updating), we developed a short, nonautomated, open-access EF test battery adapted for use in samples with varying schooling and age that included EF indicators obtained from three tasks (Plus-Minus, Trail Making and Random Number Generation tasks). Using Confirmatory Factor Analyses we found a good fitting three-correlated factor solution confirming the fractionation and inter-association of the three EF domains that was invariant (except for one of eight indicators) to age, schooling and sex. More years of schooling was related to higher latent traits in all domains, older age to worse shifting and women scored lower in latent shifting and inhibition. We conclude that the unity-diversity EF framework can be determined across adulthood in diverse samples with tasks adapted for these populations, allowing the theory-oriented investigation of sociocultural and demographic factors that influence EFs
