    Abstract Real-world robot applications usually require navigating agents to face multiple destinations. Besides, the real-world crowded environments usually contain dynamic and static crowds that implicitly interact with each other during navigation. To address this challenging task, a novel modular hierarchical reinforcement learning (MHRL) method is developed in this paper. MHRL is composed of three modules, i.e., destination evaluation, policy switch, and motion network, which are designed exactly according to the three phases of solving the original navigation problem. First, the destination evaluation module rates all destinations and selects the one with the lowest cost. Subsequently, the policy switch module decides which motion network to be used according to the selected destination and the obstacle state. Finally, the selected motion network outputs the robot action. Owing to the complementary strengths of a variety of motion networks and the cooperation of modules in each layer, MHRL is able to deal with hybrid crowds effectively. Extensive simulation experiments demonstrate that MHRL achieves better performance than state-of-the-art methods.

    Abstract In this article, a neural network (NN)-based robust guaranteed cost control design is proposed for image-based visual servoing (IBVS) control of quadrotors. According to the dynamics of three subsystems (yaw, height, and lateral subsystems) derived from the quadrotor IBVS dynamic model, the main control design is to solve the robust control problem for the time-varying lateral subsystem with angle constraints and uncertain disturbances. Considering the system dynamics, a two-loop structure is conducted. The outer loop uses the linear quadratic regulator to solve the Riccati equation for the lateral image feature system, and the inner loop adopts the optimal robust guaranteed cost control to solve the lateral velocity system. For the lateral velocity system, the optimal robust control problem is transformed to solve the modified Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation of the corresponding optimal control problem utilizing adaptive dynamic programming. The implementation is accomplished with the time-varying NN and the designed estimated weight update law. In addition, the stability and effectiveness are proved by the theoretic proof and simulations.

    Abstract The presence of information asymmetry can hinder the public's ability to make well-informed decisions, resulting in unwarranted suspicion and the widespread dissemination of rumors. Therefore, it is crucial to provide individuals with consistent and dependable scientific education. Regular popular science education is considered a periodic impulsive intervention to mitigate the impact of information asymmetry and promote a more informed and discerning public. Drawing on these findings, this paper proposes a susceptible-hesitant-infected-refuting-recovered (SHIDR) rumor-spreading model to explain the spread of rumors. The model incorporates elements such as time delay, nonlinear incidence, and refuting individuals. Firstly, by applying the comparison theorem of an impulsive differential equation, we calculate two thresholds for rumor propagation. Additionally, we analyze the conditions of global attractiveness of the rumor-free periodic solution. Furthermore, we consider the condition for the rumor's permanence. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to validate the accuracy of our findings. The results suggest that increasing the proportion of impulsive vaccination, reducing the impulsive period, or prolonging the delay time can effectively suppress rumors.

  7. Article ; Online: Can newborn infants with positive HIV soon after birth be diagnosed with intrauterine infection?

    Abstract Background: Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can occur intrauterine, intrapartum, and postpartum. Currently, infants with confirmed positive results in virological tests before 48 h of age are defined as having intrauterine infection.
    Aim: We herein review the literature that identifies emerging challenges in diagnosing intrauterine HIV infection to rethink the current diagnostic criteria.
    Findings: A number of reports have shown that some infants who were diagnosed with intrauterine HIV infection after birth became negative for HIV in the subsequent follow-ups, including negative HIV antibodies at the age of 12-18 months. Such "clearance" of HIV was attributed to various reasons: neonatal antiretroviral treatment (ART), false positivity, strong host immune response, or unknown factors in maternal breast milk.
    Discussions: Positive HIV tests in newborn infants shortly after birth do not necessarily indicate HIV infection, because maternal HIV can enter fetal circulation intrapartum due to the repetitive, strong uterine contractions. The infants are therefore exposed to, but may not yet be infected with HIV at that time. The current diagnostic criteria cannot differentiate HIV exposure from HIV infection, leading to so-called "challenges in diagnosing intrauterine HIV infection". Those infants diagnosed with intrauterine infection who cleared HIV later were less likely to have been truly infected with HIV, but more likely to have been exposed to HIV. Moreover, we suggest that the determination of HIV antibody titers in infants' serial serum samples can provide valuable information to distinguish intrapartum exposure from intrauterine infection.

    Abstract Aims: We aimed to explore the role of personality traits between fall and loneliness.
    Methods: A questionnaire survey was used to investigate falls, the big five personality traits, and loneliness among older people (≥ 60 years old) in China mainland.
    Results: A total of 4,289 older people participated in the survey. There are significant differences in age, marital status, education level, residence, solitariness, and fall in relation to loneliness among older people. Falls, especially when they occurred one time increase the loneliness of older people. Agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism were significant mediating effects between falls and loneliness.
    Conclusion: This study implied that agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism were meditating factors between falls and loneliness. In the future, we should consider the big five personality traits more to understand loneliness and offer older people interventions for reducing their loneliness. The study design was cross-sectional, so the temporal precedence of mediators and causality could not be tested. Because the data were collected retrospectively, current loneliness is likely to have confounding effects on retrospective recall.

    Abstract It is well established that the retina provides insights beyond the eye. Through observation of retinal microvascular changes, studies have shown that the retina contains information related to cardiovascular disease. Despite the tremendous efforts toward reducing the effects of cardiovascular diseases, they remain a global challenge and a significant public health concern. Conventionally, predicting the risk of cardiovascular disease involves the assessment of preclinical features, risk factors, or biomarkers. However, they are associated with cost implications, and tests to acquire predictive parameters are invasive. Artificial intelligence systems, particularly deep learning (DL) methods applied to fundus images have been generating significant interest as an adjunct assessment tool with the potential of enhancing efforts to prevent cardiovascular disease mortality. Risk factors such as age, gender, smoking status, hypertension, and diabetes can be predicted from fundus images using DL applications with comparable performance to human beings. A clinical change to incorporate DL systems for the analysis of fundus images as an equally good test over more expensive and invasive procedures may require conducting prospective clinical trials to mitigate all the possible ethical challenges and medicolegal implications. This review presents current evidence regarding the use of DL applications on fundus images to predict cardiovascular disease.

    Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. Via analysis using The Cancer Genome Atlas database, the present study identified 1,835 genes that were differentially expressed in CRC, including 811 upregulated and 1,024 downregulated genes. Enrichment analyses using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery tool revealed that these differentially expressed genes were associated with the regulation of CRC progression by modulating multiple pathways, such as 'Cell Cycle, Mitotic', 'DNA Replication', 'Mitotic M-M/G1 phases' and 'ATM pathway'. To identify the key genes in CRC, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis was performed and the hub modules in upregulated and downregulated PPI networks were identified. Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 T (UBE2T), a member of the E2 family, was identified to be a key regulator in CRC. To the best of our knowledge, the present study was the first to demonstrate that UBE2T expression was upregulated in CRC samples compared with normal tissues. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that higher expression levels of UBE2T were associated with worse prognosis compared with lower UBE2T expression levels in CRC. Additionally, the present study demonstrated that knockdown of UBE2T inhibited CRC cell proliferation. Flow cytometry assays revealed that UBE2T knockdown induced cell cycle arrest at G
