    Abstract Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogenic disease characterized by persistent mucosal inflammation of the upper airway. Researches of CRS have progressed from phenotype-based to endotype-based, looking more deeply into molecular biomarkers, signaling pathways, and immune microenvironment. Single-cell RNA sequencing is an effective tool in analyzing composition, function, and interaction of cells in disease microenvironment at transcriptome level, showing great advantage in analyzing potential biomarkers, pathogenesis, and heterogeneity of chronic airway inflammation in an unbiased manner. In this article, we will review the latest advances in scRNA-seq studies of CRS to provide new perspectives for the diagnosis and treatment of this heterogeneous disease.

    Abstract This paper proposes an online target speaker voice activity detection system for speaker diarization tasks, which does not require a priori knowledge from the clustering-based diarization system to obtain the target speaker embeddings. By adapting the conventional target speaker voice activity detection for real-time operation, this framework can identify speaker activities using self-generated embeddings, resulting in consistent performance without permutation inconsistencies in the inference phase. During the inference process, we employ a front-end model to extract the frame-level speaker embeddings for each coming block of a signal. Next, we predict the detection state of each speaker based on these frame-level speaker embeddings and the previously estimated target speaker embedding. Then, the target speaker embeddings are updated by aggregating these frame-level speaker embeddings according to the predictions in the current block. Our model predicts the results for each block and updates the target speakers' embeddings until reaching the end of the signal. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the offline clustering-based diarization system on the DIHARD III and AliMeeting datasets. The proposed method is further extended to multi-channel data, which achieves similar performance with the state-of-the-art offline diarization systems.

    Abstract Objective: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were used to assess the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and hearing impairment (HI).
    Methods: We used eight survey cycles from NHANES 2001-2012 and 2015-2018 to conduct this cross-sectional study. HI was designed as an dependent variable, and the TyG index was selected as an exposure factor (independent variable). The correlation between the two variables was assessed using multiple logistic regression. In order to assess whether there was a non-linear relationship between the TyG index and HI, the TyG index was distributed and a test for trend was conducted (P for trend), followed by smooth curve fitting (penalized spline) and generalized additive model (GAM) regression. We also performed a subgroup analysis to identify sensitive groups whose responses were clearly associated with independent variables.
    Results: 10,906 participants were finally included in the study, and those with a higher TyG index had a higher frequency of hearing impairment. There was a linear positive correlation between the TyG index and HI. For the low-frequency HI, however, this positive correlation was not statistically significant (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.98, 1.14); however, it was more stable for the high-frequency HI (OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.22). Additionally, as the TyG index increased, this positive association increased as well (P for trend = 0.05). The HPTA test showed a positive association with more severe HI (simultaneous) as the independent variable increased (OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.05-1.24), and this association was even more significant with increasing severity (P for trend 0.05). According to the subgroup analysis, the positive association between TyG index and high-frequency HI was more significant in females, 40-69 years old, without hypertension or diabetes, and when strict high-frequency HI was significant in males, females, 40-69 years old, with hypertension and diabetes.
    Conclusion: Participants with a higher TyG index may have a higher risk of HI. TyG index and HI risk showed a linear relationship, which became even more significant when HPTA was included.

    Abstract With the increase in the variety of market players in cross-regional trading, the interaction of interests among multiple participants is complicated, resulting in unbalanced interests in the cross-regional trading market. Therefore, a robust trading model with joint multi-market mechanisms is proposed in this paper to cope with the intricate interactions among market players. The proposed model builds a joint trading market framework of carbon emission rights and green certificates to incentivize more market players to participate in cross-region trading. To better balance the interests among the market players, a multi-market player alliance based on the cooperative game theory is established, and a profit distribution method based on the contribution degree of system power balance is proposed. To ensure the balance of energy supply and demand for cross-regional trading, the distributed robust optimization method based on the Wasserstein metric is proposed considering the uncertainty of renewable energy generation. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed dispatching model is demonstrated with the modified IEEE 39 bus system and the Hami power grid as an example. The results show that the proposed model can obtain a conservative and economical operating scheme with fast operation time, and the joint trading mechanism can further save the operating cost.

    Abstract Most existing medication recommendation models learn representations for medical concepts based on electronic health records (EHRs) and make recommendations with learnt representations. However, most medications appear in the dataset for limited times, resulting in insufficient learning of their representations. Medical ontologies are the hierarchical classification systems for medical terms where similar terms are in the same class on a certain level. In this paper, we propose OntoMedRec, the logically-pretrained and model-agnostic medical Ontology Encoders for Medication Recommendation that addresses data sparsity problem with medical ontologies. We conduct comprehensive experiments on benchmark datasets to evaluate the effectiveness of OntoMedRec, and the result shows the integration of OntoMedRec improves the performance of various models in both the entire EHR datasets and the admissions with few-shot medications.

    Abstract Grid-connection of new energy is highly important in promoting the use of clean and renewable energy. However, it will bring huge risks to the power grid operation security, such as frequency stability, voltage stability, small signal stability, and transient stability, etc.,. In the study, SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis has been employed to construct 24 kinds of internal and external evaluation factors and 8 kinds of improvement strategies, for assessing operation security prospective with new energy power system of HM in China. The weights of SWOT factors are determined with the fuzzy-AHP method. Moreover, the fuzzy-MARCOS approach is used to select the most suitable strategies for power system operation security effective implementation. The reported research reveals that new energy in HM area not only has an ample potential for full development and generating electricity, but also brings operation security problems due to large-scale grid connection. Therefore, 8 kinds of improvement strategies are suggested to encourage the government to exploit and develop new resources, improve the investment pay, power generation and transmission technologies to mitigate the current energy crisis, and increase the energy security for sustainable development of the country. The methodology proposed herein is applicable with a case study concerning the operation security prospective of HM power grid, and all phases of the comparative analysis and sensitivity analysis illustrate the validity of MARCOS method. Furthermore, the ranked order of strategies is obtained as A

    Abstract This paper proposes a sustainable management and decision-making model for COVID-19 control in schools, which makes improvements to current policies and strategies. It is not a case study of any specific school or country. The term one-size-fits-all has two meanings: being blind to the pandemic, and conducting inflexible and harsh policies. The former strategy leads to more casualties and does potential harm to children. Conversely, under long-lasting strict policies, people feel exhausted. Therefore, some administrators pretend that they are working hard for COVID-19 control, and people pretend to follow pandemic control rules. The proposed model helps to alleviate these problems and improve management efficiency. A customized queue model is introduced to control social gatherings. An indoor-outdoor tracking system is established. Based on tracing data, we can assess people's infection risk, and allocate medical resources more effectively in case of emergency. We consider both social and technical feasibility. Test results demonstrate the improvements and effectiveness of the model. In conclusion, the model has patched up certain one-size-fits-all strategies to balance pandemic control and normal life.
