Stable biomarker discovery in multi-omics data via canonical correlation analysis

by Taneli Pusa, Juho Rousu

Multi-omics analysis offers a promising avenue to a better understanding of complex biological phenomena. In particular, untangling the pathophysiology of multifactorial health conditions such as the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) could benefit from simultaneous consideration of several omics levels. However, taking full advantage of multi-omics data requires the adoption of suitable new tools. Multi-view learning, a machine learning technique that natively joins together heterogeneous data...

Factors related to the intention of choosing shared E-scooters for metro transfer: A survey study integrating weather perception into satisfaction evaluation from Changsha

by Chenyue Lin, Xingjian Xue, Zhixuan Zhu, Yue Luo, Rui Song

Shared E-scooter (SE) travel is a low-carbon transportation method that can be further enhanced by integrating with metro systems. This study aims to quantify the impact of the built environment, attitude preferences, weather perception, and other factors on the evaluation and intention to use the "SE-metro transfer" travel mode, as well as how to efficiently and concisely measure and model these effects. Empirical analysis was conducted using questionnaire data from Changsha... Читать дальше...

How childhood psychological abuse affects adolescent cyberbullying: The chain mediating role of self-efficacy and psychological resilience

by Haihua Ying, Yang Han

Background

Despite the recognition of the impact of childhood psychological abuse, self-efficacy, and psychological resilience on cyberbullying, there is still a gap in understanding the specific mechanisms through which childhood psychological abuse impacts cyberbullying via self-efficacy and psychological resilience.

Methods

Based on the Social Cognitive Theory, this study aims to investigate the link between childhood psychological abuse and cyberbullying in adolescents... Читать дальше...

Feeling tired versus feeling relaxed: Two faces of low physiological arousal

by Sarah Steghaus, Christian H. Poth

Human well-being and functioning depend on two fundamental mental states: Relaxation and sleepiness. Relaxation and sleepiness are both assumed to be states of low physiological arousal and negatively correlated. However, it is still unclear how consistent this negative relationship is across different settings and whether it changes before and after an intervention. Here we investigated this intricate relationship between subjective momentary sleepiness... Читать дальше...

Backward induction-based deep image search

by Donghwan Lee, Wooju Kim

Conditional image retrieval (CIR), which involves retrieving images by a query image along with user-specified conditions, is essential in computer vision research for efficient image search and automated image analysis. The existing approaches, such as composed image retrieval (CoIR) methods, have been actively studied. However, these methods face challenges as they require either a triplet dataset or richly annotated image-text pairs, which are expensive to obtain. Читать дальше...

Artificial intelligence in human resource development: An umbrella review protocol

by Sangok Yoo, Kim Nimon, Sanket Ramchandra Patole

The recent surge in artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed work dynamics, particularly in human resource development (HRD) and related domains. Scholars, recognizing the significant potential of AI in HRD functions and processes, have contributed to the growing body of literature reviews on AI in HRD and related domains. Despite the valuable insights provided by these individual reviews, the challenge of collectively interpreting... Читать дальше...

Changes in primary metabolism and associated gene expression during host-pathogen interaction in clubroot resistance of Brassica napus

by Aleya Ferdausi, Swati Megha, Nat N. V. Kav, Habibur Rahman

The role of primary metabolism during Brassica napus-Plasmodiophora brassicae interaction leading to clubroot resistance has not yet been investigated thoroughly. In this study, we investigated some of the primary metabolites and their derivatives as well as expression of the genes involved in their biosynthesis to decipher this host-pathogen interaction. For this, two sets (clubroot resistant and susceptible) of canola lines were inoculated with P. Читать дальше...

Opting out of Medicare: Characteristics and differences between optometrists and ophthalmologists

by Michael J. Maywood, Harris Ahmed, Ravi Parikh, Tedi Begaj

Objective

To determine the rate of Medicare opt-out among optometrists and ophthalmologists and to contrast the differences in the characteristics and geographic distribution of these populations.

Design

A retrospective cross-sectional study.

Setting

Using a publicly available Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) data set, we collated data for ophthalmologists and optometrists who opted out in each year between 2005 and 2023. Читать дальше...

Economic evaluation on meningococcal vaccination strategies among children under nine years of age in Zhejiang province, China

by Jianyong Shen, Chai Ji, Xiaofu Luo, Yu Hu

Meningococcal vaccination in Chinese national immunization program (NIP) includes polysaccharide vaccine against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A (MPV-A) and polysaccharide vaccine against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A and C(MPV-AC). This study aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of an alternative strategy using polysaccharide conjugate vaccine against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A,C,W,Y(MCV-ACWY) and polysaccharide vaccine against...

Medically unexplained symptoms and experiences with healthcare among emerging adults exposed to multiple types of potentially traumatic events

by Caterina Obenauf, Gina P. Owens, Sam DeHart

Experiencing multiple types of traumatic events can increase the risk of developing somatic and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). Medically unexplained symptoms (MUS), or somatic symptoms that lack a distinct medical explanation, often coexist with PTSS in emerging adults and may be due to common underlying mechanisms. Coping strategies have been associated with PTSS, but have not been studied in trauma-exposed individuals with MUS. The current... Читать дальше...
