DualFraud: Dual-Target Fraud Detection and Explanation in Supply Chain Finance Across Heterogeneous Graphs
In supply chain finance, detecting fraudulent enterprises and transactions is crucial to minimize financial loss. Enterprises and transactions have heterogeneous information and fraud labels, thus, leveraging such information well can simultaneously improve fraud detection performance in enterprise and transaction domains. This paper describes our newly proposed multitask learning framework, DualFraud, which detects fraudulent enterprises and transactions with explainability based on heterogeneous graphs in supply chain finance. The main contributions of this work are the proposed framework that can facilitate these two domains to share and enhance learning and modelling capabilities to improve fraud projection. The explainer component is attached to generate rich and meaningful explanations for risk controllers across enterprise and transaction graphs. Experiments on datasets prove the effectiveness of fraud detection and explainability in both enterprises and transactions. The proposed DualFraud outperforms the other methods in the selected criteria
Social Deprivation and Ethnicity Are Associated with More Problematic Sleep in Middle-Aged and Older Adults
The mismatch negativity as an index of cognitive abilities in adults with Down syndrome
Down syndrome (DS) is associated with an ultra-high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). Understanding variability in pre-AD cognitive abilities may help understand cognitive decline in this population. The mismatch negativity (MMN) is an event-related potential component reflecting the detection of deviant stimuli that is thought to represent underlying memory processes, with reduced MMN amplitudes being associated with cognitive decline. To further understand the MMN in adults with DS without AD, we explored the relationships between MMN, age, and cognitive abilities (memory, language, and attention) in 27 individuals (aged 17-51) using a passive auditory oddball task. Statistically significant MMN was present only in 18 individuals up to 41 years of age and the latency were longer than canonical parameters reported in the literature. Reduced MMN amplitude was associated with lower memory scores, while longer MMN latencies were associated with poorer memory, verbal abilities, and attention. Therefore, the MMN may represent a valuable index of cognitive abilities in DS. In combination with previous findings, we hypothesize that while MMN response and amplitude may be associated with AD-related memory loss, MMN latency may be associated with speech signal processing. Future studies may explore the potential impact of AD on MMN in people with DS.</p

With Commonwealth Comes Common Responsibility:Business, human rights and sustainable development
Responsible business is a cornerstone of sustainable development and must be based on the rule of law, human rights and environmental protection. This is recognised in Goal 16 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Business is a driver of economic growth but, for this to be sustainable, it must operate within a framework of sound regulation, procedural standards, impact assessment and accountability. The Responsible Business programme at the Institute for Commonwealth Studies (ICwS) is based on promoting international cooperation, the rule of law and international human rights, and meaningful participation by civil society. The Institute sees these values reflected in - and takes inspiration from – both the Commonwealth Charter, which marks its 10th anniversary this year, and the Commonwealth Latimer House Principles on the separation of powers, celebrating its 20th anniversary.The modern Commonwealth can be a model of responsible trade and investment for the world when it recognises that Commonwealth brings common responsibility. All States and Territories have established duties in human rights law to protect human rights and ensure that trade and investment does not come at the expense of human rights and the environment but fulfils and protects them over time. The commitment of the Commonwealth to these duties and the link to the business context was laid out in the foreword to the Commonwealth Latimer House Principles by the then Commonwealth Secretary-General, Mr Kamalesh Sharma, noting that ‘the rule of law sits alongside democracy and human rights as the key beliefs of this organisation – just as another threesome - governments, business and civil society - are its main actors.’ The Commonwealth Secretariat can support States to fulfil international legal obligations, businesses to operate responsibly and civil society to coordinate across its member States
Shakespeare and the New Palace of Westminster (1834–1927)
This article explores how the art and architecture of the New Palace of Westminster (home to the UK’s Houses of Parliament) evoke a theatrical experience underpinned by ‘Shakespearean’ aesthetics. Over a series of artistic commissions from the 1840s to the 1920s, artists instrumentalised Shakespeare both explicitly and implicitly as part of the wider schemes within which they worked. Doing so, they visualised and even theatricalised the political and artistic aims of their commissioners and sought to project a unified sense of national history and contemporary aesthetic taste. The three case studies from within the Palace discussed here therefore offer a concentrated reception history of Shakespeare. This reading of the Palace’s visual arts thereby sharpens our understanding of Shakespeare’s developing roles in British national conception. It brings together print, theatrical, and art history with attention to architecture and design, as well as archival details, to offer an interdisciplinary analysis of Shakespeare’s role in constitutional expressions of British identity – not least during a major period of imperial activity and at the very seat of parliamentary power.<br/
Engagement in Computing
This edition of Sapienta leads with an article by Miles Berry, Professor of Computing Education at the University of Roehampton. Berry considers the problems of engaging students in computing. He suggests making computing lessons more enjoyable, which will, in turn, help students learn more and perhaps carry on studying the subject to gain qualifications.But how can this be done? Berry proposes a broad interpretation of the national curriculum progammes of study, and a creative approach to computing that could include working a across a range of digital media. Critical digital literacy helps students contribute positively to the increasingly digital world, and making the content of the curriculum more relevant helps them develop valuable skills across new technologies such as generative AI, virtual reality and robotics. He concludes, GCSE and A Level specifications are about what gets tested, not what can or should be taught
