by Krzysztof Kaniasty, Erik van der Meulen

This longitudinal study examined a sample of adult Poles (N = 1245), who were interviewed three times from July 2021 to August 2022, during the later stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study had two primary objectives. The first was to assess the impact of the pandemic on psychological distress, measured through symptoms of depression and anxiety. The pandemic’s effects were evaluated using three predictors: direct exposure to COVID-19, COVID-19 related stressors... Читать дальше...

Deep learning for blood glucose level prediction: How well do models generalize across different data sets?

Deep learning-based models for predicting blood glucose levels in diabetic patients can facilitate proactive measures to prevent critical events and are essential for closed-loop control therapy systems. However, selecting appropriate models from the literature may not always yield conclusive results, as the choice could be influenced by biases or misleading evaluations stemming from different methodologies, datasets, and preprocessing techniques.

by Obidimma Ezezika, Tiana Stephanie Kotsaftis, Alanna Marson

Background

Upstream factors have been found to affect COVID-19 vaccination rates and coverage globally. However, there are inadequate details within the African context. This systematic review aims to close this research gap by investigating upstream factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination rates in Africa.

Methods

A literature search will be systematically conducted utilizing various databases including: MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, CINAHL, Web of Science, and PsycINFO.

Adaptive QP algorithm for depth range prediction and encoding output in virtual reality video encoding process

by Hui Yang, Qiuming Liu, Chao Song

In order to reduce the encoding complexity and stream size, improve the encoding performance and further improve the compression performance, the depth prediction partition encoding is studied in this paper. In terms of pattern selection strategy, optimization analysis is carried out based on fast strategic decision-making methods to ensure the comprehensiveness of data processing. In the design of adaptive strategies, different adaptive quantization parameter... Читать дальше...

The increase in mental health issues and awareness among individuals, compared to previous times, has contributed to recognizing this as a significant public health issue. The necessity to explore potential factors behind mental health problems has become paramount and served as the primary impetus for the current research endeavor. This study aims to explore if there is a relationship between attitudes toward seeking psychological and psychiatric support. Читать дальше...

Ultrastructural changes in cardiac and skeletal myoblasts following in vitro exposure to monensin, salinomycin, and lasalocid

by Danielle Henn, Antonia V. Lensink, Christo J. Botha

Carboxylic ionophores are polyether antibiotics used in production animals as feed additives, with a wide range of benefits. However, ionophore toxicosis often occurs as a result of food mixing errors or extra-label use and primarily targets the cardiac and skeletal muscles of livestock. The ultrastructural changes induced by 48 hours of exposure to 0.1 μM monensin, salinomycin, and lasalocid in cardiac (H9c2) and skeletal (L6) myoblasts... Читать дальше...

Language models outperform cloze predictability in a cognitive model of reading

Plos.org 
En

by Adrielli Tina Lopes Rego, Joshua Snell, Martijn Meeter

Although word predictability is commonly considered an important factor in reading, sophisticated accounts of predictability in theories of reading are lacking. Computational models of reading traditionally use cloze norming as a proxy of word predictability, but what cloze norms precisely capture remains unclear. This study investigates whether large language models (LLMs) can fill this gap. Contextual predictions are implemented via a novel parallel-graded mechanism... Читать дальше...

Placebo effects beyond dopamine

by Karin B. Jensen

The role of dopamine in reward expectancy has led to the hypothesis that it is crucial for forming treatment expectations and placebo effects. However, a new study in PLOS Biology presents robust evidence against the causal role of dopamine in these processes.
