Lethality level casualty assessment method for earthquake landslide hazards based on the expansion effect of the mortality rate by Xia Chaoxu, Qi Wenhua, Li Huayue, Nie Gaozhong

“…Through analysis of historical earthquake records, we determined the proportions of fatalities attributed to different causes, integrating seismic intensity data, population distribution information, to establish intensity-dependent mortality rates for earthquake-triggered landslides. We systematically compiled the spatial distribution patterns, occurrence frequency, and density characteristics of landslides induced by historical earthquakes through field surveys and literature analysis. …”

Subthreshold depression is associated with altered facial expression and impression formation via subjective ratings and action unit analysis by Eriko Sugimori, Mayu Yamaguchi

“…Automated analysis with OpenFace 2.0 showed higher presence/intensity of AU01 (Inner Brow Raiser), AU05 (Upper Lid Raiser), AU20 (Lip Stretcher), AU25/26/28 (mouth‑opening AUs) in StD faces; five of these AUs correlated with BDI‑II after false‑discovery‑rate correction (q < 0.05). Subthreshold depression was associated with muted positive expressivity and distinct eye‑ and mouth‑movement patterns, but did not bias observers’ first‑impression judgements. …”
