Case law citation prediction, i.e., predicting what historical cases are relevant for your current case, can assist legal discovery and decision-making, but legal documents are long, and often only parts of them are relevant for a particular use case. We therefore reframe case law citation prediction as a paragraph-to-paragraph citation task, introduce a new dataset, and train and evaluate new models. We also evaluate our models qualitatively. Our resources provide a first step toward discovering citation patterns and modeling legal rules in EU law from precedent documents.

We applied semi-structured and in-depth interviews to explore the perceptions and experiences of 60 practitioners/policymakers and 25 Syrian participants involved in mental health services for refugees in Lebanon. Refugees were found to view their distress as a normal shared reaction to adversity while professionals perceived it as symptomatic of mental illness. Practitioners viewed Syrian culture as an obstacle to providing care and prioritized educating refugees about mental health conditions. Policymakers invoked the state of crisis to justify short-term interventions, while Syrian refugees requested community interventions and considered resettlement in a third country the only solution to their adverse living conditions. The therapeutic relationship seems threatened by mistrust, since refugees change their narratives as an adaptive mechanism in response to the humanitarian system, which professionals consider manipulative. We discuss the implications of our findings for mental health practice in humanitarian settings.

The study explored the psychological links that may exist between the feeling of being threatened and the perceived risk of sports situations, the interest for television sports programs, and the interest for conversations about these television sports reports. One hundred ninety-nine participants were presented with a series of questionnaires to assess: a) the degree of threat, the perceived risk as well as the amount of personal experience associated with certain sports situations, b) the degree of interest and the viewing habits associated with the same sports situations, c) the degree of interest shown for participating in conversations about these sports programs. The more the sports were considered threatening and perceived as risky, the more the participants were interested in watching these sports on television and to talk about these television programs. The concept of protective frame explained this finding.

The study aimed to map different ethical positions regarding the way in which 107 adolescent athletes (Mage = 13.64, SD = 1.64) and 157 adults including 44 non-athletes (Mage = 20.56, SD = 2.98), 94 amateur athletes (Mage = 20.61, SD = 2.77), and 19 professional athletes (Mage = 20.52, SD = 2.52) used different informational cues (the consequences for health, the level of detectability, the short-term outcome, and the Coach’s attitude (CA)) for judging how acceptable it is to use a nutritional supplement in sport. The participants indicated their judgment of acceptability in 36 scenarios constructed from the combination of these information cues. Cluster analyses, ANOVAs, and chi-square tests were done. From the total number of participants, two different ethical positions were found according to the age. The adolescents (61%) judged that using a nutritional supplement is acceptable when the negative consequences for health are low, the coach’s attitude is favourable, and the expectation of short-term success is high. The adults (70%) judged that the use of a nutritional supplement is acceptable only when the negative consequences for health are low. Among the adults, different ethical positions were found but they were not linked with the involvement in sport.

In this work, we present the results of the characterization of 20 lime plaster samples taken from the Sacred Precinct of Tenochtitlan (Mexico City), the ancient capital of the Aztec empire. The samples come from different buildings of this precinct (A, B and D) and from the west façade of phase VI of the Templo Mayor pyramid. The objective of the work is to characterize the plaster samples, to understand the raw materials used, and to evaluate the presence of similarities and differences among the samples in the building techniques and raw materials employed. All the samples were studied with OM, SEM–EDS and LA–ICP–MS. The study provided evidence of the plastering and replastering practice in the same constructive phases. The results of the analyses showed the existence of important similarities and differences among buildings and constructive phases in the Sacred Precinct. In order to understand the provenance of the limestone used in the plasters, the lumps and the binder of the samples were analysed. The results were compared with those of the limestone outcrops located in central Mexico. The provenance study showed that all the limestone used in the construction of the analysed buildings of Tenochtitlan's Sacred Precinct comes from the Tula region.
