Dementia and its Relations Between the Late 20th and 21st Century
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study was conducted to examine changes in the beliefs and contents of articles on dementia from the 20th century. Factors analyzed included the form of dementia, pharmaceutical drugs, source country and income of the first author, diagnostics, and the year of publication. All articles (N=202) analyzed were published between January 1st, 1984, and December 31st, 2022. Inter-rater reliability was assessed and there was an 89.4 percent agreement amongst raters. All articles were analyzed through both PubMed and PsycInfo. Our results proved that a significant number of articles discussed Alzheimer’s disease. Scientific perspectives on the cause of dementia have not changed significantly between the 20th and 21st century. Additionally, there were no significant differences between high-, middle- and low-income countries discussing pharmaceutical drugs in literature.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
