Objective

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of hearing loss and identify associated risk factors in a Chinese population aged 45 years and older.

Study design

This study employed a cross-sectional research design. Data from the 4th wave survey of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) conducted in 2018 were utilized. Participants were assessed using self-reported questionnaires, and various demographic and comorbidity... Читать дальше...

by Juan Pablo Franco, Peter Bossaerts, Carsten Murawski

Many everyday tasks require people to solve computationally complex problems. However, little is known about the effects of computational hardness on the neural processes associated with solving such problems. Here, we draw on computational complexity theory to address this issue. We performed an experiment in which participants solved several instances of the 0-1 knapsack problem, a combinatorial optimization problem, while undergoing... Читать дальше...

A retrospective assessment of forecasting the peak of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 wave in England

We discuss the invasion of the Omicron BA.1 variant into England as a paradigm for real-time model fitting and projection. Here we use a mixture of simple SIR-type models, analysis of the early data and a more complex age-structure model fit to the outbreak to understand the dynamics. In particular, we highlight that early data shows that the invading Omicron variant had a substantial growth advantage over the resident Delta variant. However, early data does... Читать дальше...
