Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

South Asian (SA) immigrant women in Canada are at greater risk of contracting and dying from heart disease than their white Canadian counterparts. Low levels of physical activity (PA), a modifiable risk factor for heart disease, have been reported in the SA community. This study investigated the acceptability of culturally specific dance in enhancing SA women's engagement in PA. Two focus group sessions were held, involving a total of 16 SA women. Participants reported limited knowledge about the overall health benefits of PA. Chief barriers to PA were lack of time and motivation. Dancing was considered the most enjoyable PA, which could burn calories and act as a social outlet. Participants indicated that despite their community's diversity, a “women-only dance class” led by a community female dance instructor, combined with childcare services, would be acceptable.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
