Metacognitive function in young adults is impacted by physical activity, diet, and sleep patterns

Plos.org 

by G. Kyle Gooderham, Todd C. Handy

Our cognitive capacities like working memory and attention are known to systematically vary over time with our physical activity levels, dietary choices, and sleep patterns. However, whether our metacognitive capacities––such as our strategic use and optimization of cognitive resources––show a similar relationship with these key lifestyle factors remains unknown. Here we addressed this question in healthy young adults by examining if physical activity, diet... Читать дальше...

Mammography screening: Eliciting the voices of informed citizens

Plos.org 

by Manja D. Jensen, Kasper M. Hansen, Volkert Siersma, John Brodersen

Background

Many medical organisations recommend continuing with existing mammography screening programmes but some recommend stopping or de-intensifying them. In Denmark women aged 50–69 are offered biennial mammograms free-of-charge.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to determine whether or not an informed public would recommend continuation of the Danish mammography screening programme, and to determine whether... Читать дальше...

English major students’ satisfaction with ELSA Speak in English pronunciation courses

Plos.org 

by Vi Thi Tuong Pham, Anh Tuan Pham

Clear and accurate pronunciation plays an essential role in communicating effectively and significantly affects English learners’ proficiency. ELSA Speak has been used in some schools due to its benefits to help learners improve English pronunciation. However, to optimize the application, a better understanding of EFL learners’ satisfaction with ELSA Speak is essential. The novelty of this study is assessing how English major students were satisfied with... Читать дальше...

Refining fine-mapping: Effect sizes and regional heritability

Plos.org 

by Christian Benner, Mahajan Anubha, Matti Pirinen

Recent statistical approaches have shown that the set of all available genetic variants explains considerably more phenotypic variance of complex traits and diseases than the individual variants that are robustly associated with these phenotypes. However, rapidly increasing sample sizes constantly improve detection and prioritization of individual variants driving the associations between genomic regions and phenotypes. Therefore, it is useful... Читать дальше...

Eight quick tips for biologically and medically informed machine learning

Plos.org 

by Luca Oneto, Davide Chicco

Machine learning has become a powerful tool for computational analysis in the biomedical sciences, with its effectiveness significantly enhanced by integrating domain-specific knowledge. This integration has give rise to informed machine learning, in contrast to studies that lack domain knowledge and treat all variables equally (uninformed machine learning). While the application of informed machine learning to bioinformatics and health informatics datasets has become more seamless... Читать дальше...

Multi-region infectious disease prediction modeling based on spatio-temporal graph neural network and the dynamic model

Plos.org 

by Xiaoyi Wang, Zhen Jin

Human mobility between different regions is a major factor in large-scale outbreaks of infectious diseases. Deep learning models incorporating infectious disease transmission dynamics for predicting the spread of multi-regional outbreaks due to human mobility have become a hot research topic. In this study, we incorporate the Graph Transformer Neural Network and graph learning mechanisms into a metapopulation SIR model to build a hybrid framework, Metapopulation Graph Transformer Neural Network (M-Graphormer)...
