Deep reinforcement learning for time series: playing idealized trading games

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Deep Q-learning is investigated as an end-to-end solution to estimate the optimal strategies for acting on time series input. Experiments are conducted on two idealized trading games. 1) Univariate: the only input is a wave-like price time series, and 2) Bivariate: the input includes a random stepwise price time series and a noisy signal time series, which is positively correlated with future price changes. The Univariate game tests whether the agent can capture the underlying dynamics, and the Bivariate game tests whether the agent can utilize the hidden relation among the inputs. Stacked Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) are used to model Q values. For both games, all agents successfully find a profitable strategy. The GRU-based agents show best overall performance in the Univariate game, while the MLP-based agents outperform others in the Bivariate game.

マサバを原料とするへしことなれずしの製造過程における脂質酸化の進行を検討した。20% 加塩したマサバ魚肉を 4 ヶ月間自然環境温度で貯蔵すると,脂質酸化が大きく進行したが,塩漬けマサバを 6 ヶ月間糠漬けしたへしこでは魚肉と米糠中の脂質はほとんど酸化しなかった。一方,4 ヶ月間米飯漬けしたなれずしの魚肉中の脂質酸化の進行は,5% 加塩したマサバ魚肉のそれと同程度だった。へしこ及びなれずしの製造過程における脂質酸化の進行には,魚肉,米糠及び米飯中に含まれる各種抗酸化成分が影響を及ぼすことが示唆された。
Multivariate evaluation of prognostic markers in synovial sarcoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Aims Synovial sarcoma (SS) is an aggressive neoplasm but with varied clinical outcomes despite standard treatment protocols. Several clinicopathological features and immunohistochemical stains have been proposed as prognostic markers in SS. The aim of this study was to evaluate SS from a single institution for prognostically relevant clinicopathological and immunohistochemical factors. Methods We identified a single-institution cohort of SS with follow-up. Clinical and pathological factors examined included age, sex, tumour location, AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer) stage, tumour size, grade and status of surgical margins. Immunohistochemical staining for p16, p53, RB1, MYC, PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue), β-catenin, MDM2 and Ki67 proliferative index was performed on tissue microarray. Cox proportional hazard model was used for multivariate assessment of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Results 133 patients with SS met the inclusion criteria for our cohort, with 100 having complete dataset for all study covariates. On Cox regression multivariate analysis, location (axial vs extremity, p < 0.001), AJCC stage (p<0.001), p16 expression (≥75%, p=0.021) were significantly associated with worse OS, whereas PTEN intensity (score 2, p < 0.001) and p53 expression (null/≥75%, p=0.013) were correlated with improved OS. For DFS analysis, location (axial vs extremity, p=0.030), tumour size (≥5 cm, p=0.009) and MYC expression (≥33%, p = 0.013) were associated with inferior outcome. Only PTEN intensity (score 2, p<0.001) correlated with improved DFS. Conclusions In reviewing numerous clinicopathological and immunohistochemical markers, this study shows that location, AJCC stage, p16, p53 and PTEN expression were prognostically significant in multivariate analysis for OS in a uniformly treated SS cohort. Location, tumour size, MYC and PTEN expression were significantly associated with DFS.

Antibacterial sulfonamides: accumulation and effects in barley plants.

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract: The application of manure to fertilize arable lands is one of the major means through which veterinary sulfonamides (SAs) enter the environment. Little is known about the capacity of woody plants to phytoremediate this class of antibiotics. To this purpose we performed preliminary studies to evaluate Salix Fragilis L. response to sulfadimethoxine (SDM) by investigating both its ability to absorb and tolerate doses of SDM found in fresh faeces of treated calves. Forty cuttings were exposed to either 0, 0.5, 1, or 2 mM of SDM for one month. Decreases in photosynthetic electron transport rate and net CO2 assimilation after 25 days for the higher SDM concentrations were noticed. Moreover, alterations in root morphology of treated plants were observed and further investigated through electron microscopy. However, collected data revealed high root accumulation potential. These preliminary results are promising as they demonstrate that Salix Fragilis L. can both absorb and tolerate high concentrations of SAs.
by ʿAḍūd al-Dīn al-Ījī (d. 1355), and Its Commentaries

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

ʿAḍud al-dīn al-Ījī’s Mawāqif fī ‘ilm al-kalām and its commentaries were the most studied kalām texts of the Sunnī madrasa curriculum after the fourteenth century CE. On one level, the Mawāqif exemplifies what has been termed the “Avicennization of kalām.” On a deeper level, it reaffirms a commitment to the principles of classical Ashʿarī kalām and contests central falsafa positions, even as it utilizes falsafa terminology and concepts. This chapter examines this aspect of the Mawāqif through its discussion of key questions in Islamic intellectual history.
Detection of Putative Functional Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Blood Pressure Loci and Validation of Association Between Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in WBP1L and Hypertension in the Chinese Han Population

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Abstract: We have performed a gene-based association study and detected several important blood pressure (BP)-associated genes. In this study, we explored functional variants in these genes by bioinformatics analysis and validated the associations between the functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and hypertension with public data and our in-house data of 857 cases and 927 controls. We found various functional variants in the BP-associated genes, including missense mutations and phosphorylation-related SNPs. Most of these SNPs were associated with expressions of the local genes. Some of these SNPs were associated with coronary artery disease or ischemic stroke. The associations between 12 functional SNPs in 7 genes and BP were validated ( P < 5 × 10 −7 ). The intronic SNP rs176185, which may influence promoter histone, enhancer histone, DNase and regulatory motifs and showed cis -eQTL effect on WBP1L , was associated with hypertension in the Chinese Han population ( P = 0.0119). Our study detected plenty of potential functional SNPs in the BP-associated genes and demonstrated that rs176185 may be associated with hypertension in the Chinese Han population.
Studies on the Induction, Specificity, Prevention and Breaking of Immunologic Paralysis and Immunity to Pneumococcal Polysaccharide

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Summary Immunologic paralysis against the soluble specific substance of type III Diplococcus pneumoniae (SIII) has been studied using an in vitro technique for determining antibodies and a specific depolymerase (D3) for removing persistent antigen from the circulation. When mice were injected with small quantities of SIII, circulating antibodies were detectable 48 hr later and the titers persisted for several months. Subsequent injection of the homologous antigen gave a booster response. Mice could be paralyzed after the onset of immunity by the injection of relatively large quantities of antigen. On the other hand, once paralysis is induced it is long-lasting, and paralyzed mice cannot be immunized by subsequent injections of immunogenic doses of the homologous antigen. Paralysis is type specific: mice paralyzed against SIII can be immunized against SVIII and mice paralyzed against SVIII can be immunized against SIII. Attempts to prevent paralysis by the injection of spleen cells or peritoneal exudates from mice of the same strain, together with the antigen, were unsuccessful. Attempts to break paralysis by injection of the homologous vaccine in Freund’s adjuvant, by vaccine alone or by irradiation were also unsuccessful.
The Baryon Census in a Multiphase Intergalactic Medium: 30% of the Baryons May Still Be Missing

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

For low-redshift cosmology and galaxy formation rates, it is important to account for all the baryons synthesized in the Big Bang. Although galaxies and clusters contain 10% of the baryons, many more reside in the photoionized Lyman-alpha forest and shocked-heated warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) at T = 10^5 to 10^7 K. Current tracers of WHIM at 10^5 to 10^6 K include the O VI 1032, 1038 absorption lines, together with broad Lyman-alpha absorbers (BLAs) and EUV/X-ray absorption lines from Ne VIII, O VII, and O VIII. We improve the O VI baryon surveys with corrections for oxygen metallicity (Z/Zsun) and O VI ionization fraction (f_OVI) using cosmological simulations of heating, cooling, and metal transport in a density-temperature structured medium. Statistically, their product correlates with column density, (Z/Zsun)(f_OVI) = (0.015)(N_OVI/10^{14} cm^-2)^0.70. The N_OVI-weighted mean is 0.01, which doubles previous estimates of WHIM baryon content. We also reanalyze H I data from the Hubble Space Telescope, applying redshift corrections for absorber density, photoionizing background, and proper length, dl/dz. We find substantial baryon fractions in the photoionized Lya forest (28 +/- 11%), O VI/BLA-traced WHIM (25 +/- 8%), and collapsed phase (18 +/- 4%) in galaxies, groups, clusters, and circumgalactic gas. The baryon shortfall is 29 +/- 13%, which may be detected in X-ray absorbers from hotter WHIM or in weaker Lya and O VI absorbers. Further progress will require higher-precision baryon surveys of weak absorbers at column densities N_HI > 10^{12.0} cm^-2, N_OVI > 10^{12.5} cm^-2, and N_OVII > 10^{14.5} cm^-2, with moderate-resolution UV and X-ray spectrographs.
Financial Self-Sufficiency of Territorial Communities and Provision Mechanisms in Conditions of Decentralization

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The article is paid to the issues of substantiating the expediency of improving the mechanisms for strengthening the financial self-sufficiency of territorial communities and specifying ways to intensify such processes. The thesis proves that extending the powers of local governments to administer local taxes and fees, as well as strengthening the control over their revenues, will help to mobilize additional revenues for local budgets, which are not used for certain reasons. Updating the mechanism of horizontal equalization of the tax capacity of local budgets will minimize the gaps between delegated powers and financial resources. Improving the mechanism of municipal borrowing will help to expand the rights of communities to access investment resources, and normalizing the institutional framework will help to complete the decentralization reform.
Anti-Osteoporosis Activity of Naringin in the Retinoic Acid-Induced Osteoporosis Model

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Isoflavonoids isolated from plants have been confirmed to fight osteoporosis and promote bone health. However, few studies have been conducted to describe the anti-osteoporosis activity of botanical flavonone. Based on the experimental outcomes, we demonstrated the ability of naringin to fight osteoporosis in vitro. We developed a retinoic acid-induced osteoporosis model of rats to assess whether naringin has similar bioactivity against osteoporosis in vitro. After a 14-day supplement of retinoic acid to induce osteoporosis, SD rats were administered naringin. A blood test showed that naringin-treated rats experienced significantly lower activity of serum alkaline phosphatase and had higher femur bone mineral density, compared to untreated rats. All three dosages of naringin improved the decrease in bone weight coefficient, the length and the diameter of the bone, the content of bone ash, calcium, and phosphorus content induced by retinoic acid. The data of histomorphological metrology of naringin groups showed no difference as compared to normal control rats. These outcomes suggest that naringin offer a potential in the management of osteoporosis in vitro.
Integrating environmentally sustainable design principles into livable neighborhood

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper therefore looks at a strategic framework that provides us insight into environment-friendly techniques, for neighborhood pattern and design in particular.Another important point worth considering is the land-use planning in terms of "livability" (Godschalk, 2004) that is increasingly used to refer to quality-of-life issues important to the long-term well-being of people and communities (Wheeler, 2001). Livability is also best defined at the neighborhood scale and is keenly aware of its character. A livable community identity can be embodied in its physical features (from highly recognizable topography and climate-specific vegetation to public plazas and architectural styles) and in the actions of its residents (from public events to social programs). Traffic, health, safety, the environment, economic development, a sense of community all these and many other factors are important to quality of life, and all are influenced in some way by the built environment (AIA, 2005).

Black Skin, White Coats: Nigerian Psychiatrists, Decolonization, and the Globalization of Psychiatry

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The book's greatest achievement may be its demonstration that the rise and fall of social medicine in the second half of the twentieth century is not merely a story about Europeans and Americans attempting to impose their visions on the rest of the world, but also the story of a collaboration - albeit a tense, tenuous, and limited collaboration - in which Africans actively participated. -Canadian Journal of History Black Skin, White Coats is a history of psychiatry in Nigeria from the 1950s to the 1980s. Working in the contexts of decolonization and anticolonial nationalism, Nigerian psychiatrists sought to replace racist colonial psychiatric theories about the psychological inferiority of Africans with a universal and egalitarian model focusing on broad psychological similarities across cultural and racial boundaries. Particular emphasis is placed on Dr. T. Adeoye Lambo, the first indigenous Nigerian to earn a specialty degree in psychiatry in the United Kingdom in 1954. Lambo returned to Nigeria to become the medical superintendent of the newly founded Aro Mental Hospital in Abeokuta, Nigeria's first modern mental hospital. At Aro, Lambo began to revolutionize psychiatric research and clinical practice in Nigeria, working to integrate modern western medical theory and technologies with traditional cultural understandings of mental illness. Lambo's research focused on deracializing psychiatric thinking and redefining mental illness in terms of a model of universal human similarities that crossed racial and cultural divides.Black Skin, White Coats is the first work to focus primarily on black Africans as producers of psychiatric knowledge and as definers of mental illness in their own right. By examining the ways that Nigerian psychiatrists worked to integrate their psychiatric training with their indigenous backgrounds and cultural and civic nationalisms, Black Skin, White Coats provides a foil to Frantz Fanon's widely publicized reactionary articulations of the relationship between colonialism and psychiatry. Black Skin, White Coats is also on the cutting edge of histories of psychiatry that are increasingly drawing connections between local and national developments in late-colonial and postcolonial settings and international scientific networks. Heaton argues that Nigerian psychiatrists were intimately aware of the need to engage in international discourses as part and parcel of the transformation of psychiatry at home.
ENDOR and EPR studies of highly isotopically 13C-enriched ubiquinone radicals

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

ENDOR and EPR measurements of anionic, neutral and diprotonated radical cations of 13C-1-labelled ubiquinone 0 in solution are presented. The 13C-carbonyl hyperfine coupling constant in protic solvents is roughly half of that in aprotic solvents. Preferred conformers of diprotonated ubiquinone and neutral radicals exist as a result of intramolecular H-bonding interactions. The variation of spin densities on the ubiquinone ring carbon atoms correlates with the calculated out-of-plane twist angles of the methoxy groups.
Reduced exercise time in competitive simulations consequent to low level ozone exposure

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Ten highly trained endurance athletes were studied to determine the effects of exposure to low ozone (O3) concentrations on simulated competitive endurance performance and associated physiological and subjective symptom responses. Each subject was randomly exposed to filtered air (FA), and to 0.12, 0.18, and 0.24 ppm O3 while performing a 1 h competitive simulation protocol on a bicycle ergometer. Endurance performance was evaluated by the number of subjects unable to complete rides (last 30 min at an intense work load of approximately 86% VO2max). All subjects completed the FA exposure, whereas one, five, and seven subjects did not complete the 0.12, 0.18, and 0.24 ppm O3 exposures, respectively. Statistical analysis indicated a significant (P less than 0.05) increase in the inability of subjects to complete the competitive simulations with increasing O3 concentration, including a significant difference between the 0.24 ppm O3 and FA exposure. Significant decreases (P less than 0.05) were also observed following the 0.18 and 0.24 ppm O3 exposures, respectively, in forced vital capacity (-7.8 and -9.9%), and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (-5.8 and -10.5%). No significant O3 effect was observed for exercise respiratory metabolism or ventilatory pattern responses. However, the number of reported subjective symptoms increased significantly following the 0.18 and 0.24 ppm O3 protocols. These data demonstrate significant decrements in simulated competitive endurance performance and in pulmonary function, with accompanying enhanced subjective symptoms, following exposure to low O3 levels commonly observed in numerous metropolitan environments during the summer months.

Artificial intelligence in Nursing: A scoping review (Preprint)

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND

The use of artificial intelligence in nursing is gaining speed, with increasing interest in the potential benefits to improve patient care and optimize nursing operations. In nursing the practical use of AI in direct patient care is limited, this study mapped out existing knowledge on AI in nursing.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this review will be to identify, review, and synthesize current scientific research about artificial intelligence in nursing.

METHODS

A detailed database search using CINAHL Complete, Academic Search Complete, PUBMED, Medline and ScienceDirect was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, and relevant studies were identified. Inclusion criteria: Scholarly, peer-reviewed articles written in English within the last 2 years (2023 –2025). Exclusion criteria: Unpublished scholarly articles, reports, opinion papers, non-peer-reviewed articles, articles published before 2023, and articles published in any other language than English. Selected articles were screened, data extracted, analyzed and findings presented.

RESULTS

39 eligible articles were retrieved for the research question about what is known about artificial intelligence in nursing. The results indicated 7 themes or categories: perceived benefits, perceived barriers, general concerns, ethical considerations, acceptance & AI readiness, Knowledge, Familiarity, Attitudes and AI perception, and perceived facilitators.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings of this scoping review indicate that artificial intelligence has potential benefits in nursing. There are also concerns generally about ethical issues such as privacy. For successful implementation of AI in nursing, potential barriers should be mitigated and facilitators such as training nurses are necessary.
Assessing the Value of Existing Recovery Measures for Routine Use in Australian mental Health Services

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Object: The concept of recovery has been recognized as important in the treatment of mental illness. A number of specific instruments exist which are designed to: (i) measure recovery at an individual level; and (ii) assess the recovery orientation of services. The current review aimed to identify these and evaluate their potential for routine use in Australian public sector mental health services. Method: We identified potential instruments by drawing on existing reviews, searching MEDLINE and PsycINFO, and consulting with experts. We used a hierarchical criterion-based approach to assess whether given instruments might be candidates for measuring recovery in the Australian context. Results: We identified 33 instruments: 22 designed to measure individuals’ recovery and 11 designed to assess the recovery orientation of services (or providers). Four of the former (Recovery Assessment Scale; Illness Management and Recovery Scales; Stages of Recovery Instrument; Recovery Process Inventory) and four of the latter (Recovery Oriented Systems Indicators Measure; Recovery Self Assessment; Recovery Oriented Practices Index; Recovery Promotion Fidelity Scale) were identified as promising candidates for routine use in Australian public sector mental health services. Conclusions: Further work is required, however, to determine which, if any, might best be used for this purpose; the possibility that modifications to existing instruments or the development of new instruments might be required should not be ruled out. It might be desirable to invest in two instruments: one designed to measure individuals’ recovery and one designed to measure the recovery orientation of services. If Australia were to go down this path, it would make sense to align indicators in each as far as possible, and to ensure that they were consistent with existing endeavours aimed at monitoring and improving recovery-focused aspects of service quality.
