    Abstract This study examines how cultural differences can affect the transmission of COVID-19 in different countries. From a sample of 92 countries, we used cross-country data based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions to investigate the impact of culture on COVID-19 transmission. We found a significant impact of culture on the spread of COVID-19. Specifically, this study reveals that individualism, masculinity, and uncertainty avoidance have a positive impact on confirmed COVID-19 cases. The relationships between cultural differences and the total number of COVID-19 deaths were also positive. This study provides valuable insights into the influences that national culture could have on the effectiveness of responses to a similar global pandemic situation in the future.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has severe impacts on global health and social and economic safety. The present study discusses strategies for turning the COVID-19 crisis into opportunities to use artificial intelligence (AI) and big data in business operations. Based on the shared experience and theoretical ground, researchers identified five major business challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic: production and supply-chain disruption, appropriate business model selection, inventory management, budget planning, and workforce management. These five challenges were outlined with eight business cases as examples of companies that had already utilized AI and big data for their business operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The outcomes of this study provide valuable insights into contemporary social science research and business management with AI and big data applications as a business response to any crisis in the future.

    Abstract The cable-driven exoskeleton can avoid joint misalignment, and is substantial alterations in the pattern of muscle synergy coordination, which arouse more attention in recent years to facilitate exercise for older adults and improve their overall quality of life. This study leverages principles from neuroscience and biomechanical analysis to select attachment points for cable-driven soft exoskeletons. By extracting key features of human movement, the objective is to develop a subject-specific design methodology that provides precise and personalized support in the attachment points optimization of cable-driven exoskeleton to achieve natural gait, energy efficiency, and muscle coordination controllable in the domain of human mobility and rehabilitation. To achieve this, the study first analyzes human walking experimental data and extracts biomechanical features. These features are then used to generate trajectories, allowing better natural movement under complete cable-driven exoskeleton control. Next, a genetic algorithm-based method is employed to minimize energy consumption and optimize the attachment points of the cable-driven system. This process identifies connections that are better suited for the human model, leading to improved efficiency and natural movement. By comparing the calculated elderly human model driven by exoskeleton with experimental subject in terms of joint angles, joint torques and muscle forces, the human model can successfully replicate subject movement and the cable output forces can mimic human muscle coordination. The optimized cable attachment points facilitate more natural and efficient collaboration between humans and the exoskeleton, making significant contributions to the field of assisting the elderly in rehabilitation.

    Abstract The live streaming market is becoming increasingly competitive, and relative performance information regarding broadcasters is available to all participants in the live streaming industry, exacerbating the level of competition. Using data from 42,166 live streams by 293 broadcasters, we investigated two benefits of relative performance information in relation to the live streaming business and how these effects vary when the broadcaster appears competent, trustworthy, likable, or attractive. On the basis of economic and social comparison theory, as well as insights from the herd behavior and beauty premium literature, we predicted and found that relative performance information can improve live streaming performance by either increasing broadcaster effort (the effort-eliciting effect) or encouraging viewer participation (the informational effect), with these effects being stronger when broadcasters look more competent, trustworthy, likable, or attractive. The findings of this study contribute to the live streaming literature by demonstrating that providing relative performance information in the live streaming business can yield both effort-eliciting and informational benefits.

    Abstract Background: Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS; OMIM 154500) is a craniofacial developmental disorder.
    Methods: To investigate the genetic features of a four-generation Chinese family with TCS, clinical examinations, hearing tests, computed tomography, whole-exome sequencing (WES), Sanger sequencing, reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, and the Minigene assay were performed.
    Results: The probands, an 11-year-old male and his cousin exhibited typical clinical manifestations of TCS including conductive hearing loss, downward slanting palpebral fissures, and mandibular hypoplasia. Computed tomography revealed bilateral fusion of the anterior and posterior stapedial crura and malformation of the long crura of the incus. WES of both patients revealed a novel heterozygous intronic variant, i.e., c.4342 + 5_4342 + 8delGTGA (NM_001371623.1) in TCOF1. Minigene expression analysis revealed that the c.4342 + 5_4342 + 8delGTGA variant in TCOF1 caused a partial deletion of exon 24 (c.4115_4342del: p.Gly1373_Arg1448del), which was predicted to yield a truncated protein. The deletion was further confirmed via RT-PCR and sequencing of DNA from proband blood cells. A heterozygous variant in the POLR1C gene (NM_203290; exon6; c.525delG) was found almost co-segregated with the TCOF1 pathogenic variant.
    Conclusions: In conclusion, we identified a heterozygous TCOF1 splicing variant c.4342 + 5_4342 + 8delGTGA (splicing) in a Chinese TSC family with ossicular chain malformations and facial anomalies. Our findings broadened the spectrum of TCS variants and will facilitate diagnostics and prognostic predictions.

    Abstract In order to avoid damage to service satellites and targets during space missions and improve safety and reliability, it is necessary to study how to eliminate or reduce the rotation of targets. This paper focused on a space detumbling robot and studied the space detumbling robot dynamics and robot arm deployment path planning. Firstly, a certain space detumbling robot with a 'platform + manipulator + end effector' configuration is proposed. By considering the end effector as a translational joint, the entire space detumbling robot is equivalent to a link system containing six rotating joints and three translational joints, and the detailed derivation process of the kinematic and dynamic model is presented. Then, ADAMS and MATLAB were used to simulate the model, and the MATLAB results were compared with the ADAMS results to verify the correctness of the model. After that, the robot arm deployment problem was analyzed in detail from the aspects of problem description, constraint analysis and algorithm implementation. An algorithm of robot arm deployment path planning based on the Bi-FMT* algorithm is proposed, and the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified by simulation.
