World totals for the five core Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP1–SSP5) of the Wittgenstein Centre Human Capital Projections 2023 (WIC2023, version V15, 2020 base; 10.5281/zenodo.20447835), converted from the model's native five-year age groups and five-year steps to single years of age and single calendar years, 2020–2100. The data include population by sex and single age (0–99, 100+), age-specific fertility rates (ages 15–49), death rates and survival ratios by sex and single age, births by sex, deaths, TFR and life expectancy at birth, as annual series. The WIC2023 model runs at five-year resolution throughout, and its mortality and fertility inputs are five-year schedules, so no single-year version exists inside the model. This series is derived from an annual single-age world projection whose death rates and fertility were calibrated (688 parameters, solved jointly) so that it reproduces exactly the published WIC2023 world population by sex and five-year age group at every five-year point and the published births in every period (relative differences below 1e-14). Population, births and deaths are consistent with the rates every year: running the cohort-component equations given in the README with the supplied rates reproduces the full single-age population (script included). Single ages were obtained with the penalised composite link model (fertility) and with UN WPP2022 single-age patterns within each five-year group and period (mortality, starting population), rescaled to WIC2023 levels. The README documents the method, equations, checks and caveats; among them, 2020–2023 includes the COVID-19 mortality dip and recovery. Prepared at the request of Jeff Greenspan (PhD student, University of Florida), who needed WIC2023 SSP baselines at single-year resolution for a Monte Carlo cohort-component population model. It is shared publicly so others can use and cite the same series. Use of AI assistance. This dataset was produced with Claude (Anthropic; model Claude Opus 5.5, used through Claude Code), an AI assistant, working under the author's direction. Claude wrote and ran the R code (aggregation, calibrated projection, diagnostics, export, reproduction script), checked the results, and drafted the README and this description. The author set the task, chose the method, reviewed the results and is responsible for the content. All numbers come from the WIC2023 V15 model runs and the documented code; the checks can be rerun with the scripts provided.

Spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) remains the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide, yet its accurate prediction continues to challenge obstetric care. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool to address this gap, but the clinical translation of AI models hindered by limited interpretability and insufficient external validation. This systematic review evaluated explainable AI (XAI) approaches for predicting sPTB, focusing on model performance, clinical utility, and external validation. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus identified 42 eligible studies published between 2018 and 2025. Studies assessed using the PROBAST risk-of-bias tool, and performance metrics extracted for narrative synthesis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) across models ranged from 0.65 to 0.93, with XGBoost and ensemble methods demonstrating superior discrimination. Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) emerged as the dominant interpretability technique, revealing key predictors including maternal age, body mass index, prior preterm birth, cervical length, and biochemical markers such as alkaline phosphatase and albumin. External validation performed in only 38% of studies, with AUCs typically declining by 0.05-0.12 from internal validation. Clinical utility assessment via decision curve analysis reported in 29% of studies. Substantial heterogeneity in outcome definitions, predictor sets, and validation strategies limited meta-analytic pooling. This review highlights the need for standardized reporting of XAI methods, prospective external validation, and integration of clinical utility metrics before these models reliably deployed in obstetric practice.

This preprint studies a failure mode in stochastic decision systems in which a transformation defect decreases monotonically toward zero while its decision-relative significance increases and eventually reverses a decision. For a pairwise linear decision functional, the paper separates absolute task-visible transformation defect from decision-normalized vulnerability. A general asymptotic proposition identifies the rate mechanism by which an adverse vanishing defect can outlast a more rapidly vanishing decision margin. An exact rational three-state construction then realizes the phenomenon using a fixed strictly positive doubly stochastic transformation and a trajectory entirely within the simplex interior. In this construction, the task-visible defect decreases to zero while normalized vulnerability increases without bound, with an exact transformed decision crossing at t* = ln(90). A block embedding with uniform positive regularization extends the construction to every finite simplex dimension n >= 3, preserving strict positivity and the crossing time. The contribution is intentionally narrow: margin-based robustness and small-perturbation decision changes are established ideas. The candidate contribution is the combined dimension-general stochastic construction demonstrating that vanishing task-visible transformation defect does not imply eventual decision agreement.

This study examines how prestige is socially produced and how recognition acquires value through institutional associations and digital circulation. Drawing on anthropological and sociological approaches to symbolic capital, merit and the economy of prestige, it explores the relationship between the organisations that confer awards, the settings in which ceremonies are advertised and the audiences that interpret them. The empirical case follows a recognition scheme promoted by World Leaders Summit and Global Empire, with an event advertised at Keble College, Oxford. The research combines documentary analysis and digital ethnographic observation with the author’s participation through a genuine application submitted for research purposes. It reconstructs the application, selection notification and subsequent invitation to purchase a conference pass, while distinguishing observed events from aspects of the evaluation process that could not be verified. The observation ended before payment for the conference pass and attendance at the ceremony. The study proposes “prestige by contiguity” as a provisional analytical concept to describe how proximity to a recognised institution may contribute symbolic value without a formal transfer of institutional authority. Particular attention is paid to the difference between recognition awarded “in Oxford” and recognition awarded “by Oxford”, and to the potential role of photographs, news coverage and professional profiles in reshaping that distinction.
