    Abstract As part of a larger study, this paper presents findings from my exploration of discourses about China-US geopolitics through popular discussions on Chinese international students (CIS) who are attending American universities during the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic. The study seeks to advance scholarship for international students attending American colleges, with particular implications for Chinese students, as agents of geopolitical relations. In doing so, it investigates (a) how these students are represented in American media and (b) the criticality of international geopolitics in the mobility of international students. The findings reveal that American popular media sources assume a tone when writing about CIS that may stem from a deeper anti-Chinese sentiment that exists in the US. They also suggest that American institutions of higher education, and American companies that employ CIS after graduation, treat these students as imported subjects/objects that support America's intellectual and economic advancement. In doing so, the media perpetuates narratives of geopolitical tensions between the United States and China, while representing CIS as unwitting agents of those tensions. The study seeks to advance scholarship on international students attending US colleges, particularly those from China, during an era of rising populism and right-wing movements in the US coupled with rapidly deteriorating US-China relations.

    Abstract The xenobiotic nuclear receptors pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) were discovered or characterized in 1998. PXR and CAR have since been defined as master regulators of xenobiotic responses through their transcriptional regulation of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters. This article aims to provide an overview on the discovery of PXR and CAR as xenobiotic receptors.

  5. Book ; Online: Analysis of the Reasoning with Redundant Information Provided Ability of Large Language Models

    Abstract Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities across a range of natural language processing tasks, especially in reasoning, a cornerstone for achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). However, commonly used benchmarks may not fully encapsulate the inferential abilities of these models in real-world scenarios. To address this gap, a new form of Question-Answering (QA) task, termed Reasoning with Redundant Information Provided (RRIP), is introduced. The study designed a modified version of the grade school math 8K (GSM-8K) dataset which has several variants focusing on different attributes of redundant information. This investigation evaluates two popular LLMs, LlaMA2-13B-chat and generative pre-trained transformer 3.5 (GPT-3.5), contrasting their performance on traditional QA tasks against the RRIP tasks. Findings indicate that while these models achieved moderate success on standard QA benchmarks, their performance notably declines when assessed on RRIP tasks. The study not only highlights the limitations of current LLMs in handling redundant information but also suggests that future training of these models should focus on incorporating redundant information into the training data to increase the performance on RRIP tasks.

    Abstract The present research sheds light on how ESM (Enterprise Social media) usage (social, work) affects employee creativity through primary psychological standards (perceived relatedness, autonomy, and competence). Drawing on self-determination theory (SDT), current research also examines the mediating mechanism of basic psychological needs. Applying structural equation modeling (SEM), 415 samples were analyzed on AMSO 24.0 version. The results illustrated that social, and work-related ESM usage has a significant impact on basic psychological needs. Further, results revealed that perceived relatedness and competence are significant predictors of employee creativity. However, perceived autonomy has an insignificant effect on individual creativity. The present research also analyzed the mediating mechanism of basic psychological needs. Findings confirmed that perceived relatedness and competence mediate the connection between social, work-oriented ESM usage and individual creativity; whereas perceived autonomy did not mediate the link between social, work-oriented ESM usage and employee creativity. This study also has several implications in theory and practice.

    Abstract Objective: To explore the inhibitory effect of saikosonin a (SSa) on pentylenetetrazol-induced acute epilepsy seizures in a mouse model of depression and explore the mechanism mediating this effect.
    Methods: Male C57BL/6J mouse models of depression was established by oral administration of corticosterone
    Results: The mouse model of corticosterone-induced depression showed body weight loss and obvious depressive behaviors with significantly increased serum corticosterone level (all
    Conclusion: Depressive state aggravates epileptic seizures, increases microglia activation, and elevates inflammation levels. SSA treatment can alleviate acute epileptic seizures in mouse models of depression possibly by suppressing microglia activation-mediated inflammation.
