    Abstract Cultural context shapes the way that emotions are expressed and socially interpreted. Building on previous research looking at cultural differences in judgements of facial expressions, we examined how listeners recognize speech-embedded emotional expressions and make inferences about a speaker's feelings in relation to their vocal display. Canadian and Chinese participants categorized vocal expressions of emotions (anger, fear, happiness, sadness) expressed at different intensity levels in three languages (English, Mandarin, Hindi). In two additional tasks, participants rated the intensity of each emotional expression and the intensity of the speaker's feelings from the same stimuli. Each group was more accurate at recognizing emotions produced in their native language (in-group advantage). However, Canadian and Chinese participants both judged the speaker's feelings to be equivalent or more intense than their actual display (especially for highly aroused, negative emotions), suggesting that similar inference rules were applied to vocal expressions by the two cultures in this task. Our results provide new insights on how people categorize and interpret speech-embedded vocal expressions versus facial expressions and what cultural factors are at play.

    Abstract Recent advances in neuroimaging research on vocal emotion perception have revealed voice-sensitive areas specialized in processing affect. Experimental data on this subject is varied, investigating a wide range of emotions through different vocal signals and task demands. The present meta-analysis was designed to disentangle this diversity of results by summarizing neuroimaging data in the vocal emotion perception literature. Data from 44 experiments contrasting emotional and neutral voices was analyzed to assess brain areas involved in vocal affect perception in general, as well as depending on the type of voice signal (speech prosody or vocalizations), the task demands (implicit or explicit attention to emotions), and the specific emotion perceived. Results reassessed a consistent bilateral network of Emotional Voices Areas consisting of the superior temporal cortex and primary auditory regions. Specific activations and lateralization of these regions, as well as additional areas (insula, middle temporal gyrus) were further modulated by signal type and task demands. Exploring the sparser data on single emotions also suggested the recruitment of other regions (insula, inferior frontal gyrus, frontal operculum) for specific aspects of each emotion. These novel meta-analytic results suggest that while the bulk of vocal affect processing is localized in the STC, the complexity and variety of such vocal signals entails functional specificities in complex and varied cortical (and potentially subcortical) response pathways.

    Abstract Sleeping habits of brown capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) were studied during 19 months in French Guiana. High forest, covering 89% of the 355 ha home range of the studied group, was the only vegetal formation used for sleeping. The sleeping-focused area of 94 ha, located in the center of the home range, was more frequently used for daily activities. Twenty-six percent of the individuals spent the night in patawa palms, which account for only 0.62% of the plants of diameter at breast height ≥ 16.1 in the 43 1 ha quadrats used for sleeping. Three major factors seem to affect the preference of patawas as sleeping trees: security, comfort, and social contact. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Abstract Sensor-based human activity recognition aims to classify human activities or behaviors according to the data from wearable or embedded sensors, leading to a new direction in the field of Artificial Intelligence. When the activities become high-level and sophisticated, such as in the multiple technical skills of playing badminton, it is usually a challenging task due to the difficulty of feature extraction from the sensor data. As a kind of end-to-end approach, deep neural networks have the capacity of automatic feature learning and extracting. However, most current studies on sensor-based badminton activity recognition adopt CNN-based architectures, which lack the ability of capturing temporal information and global signal comprehension. To overcome these shortcomings, we propose a deep learning framework which combines the convolutional layers, LSTM structure, and self-attention mechanism together. Specifically, this framework can automatically extract the local features of the sensor signals in time domain, take the LSTM structure for processing the badminton activity data, and focus attention on the information that is essential to the badminton activity recognition task. It is demonstrated by the experimental results on an actual badminton single sensor dataset that our proposed framework has obtained a badminton activity recognition (37 classes) accuracy of 97.83%, which outperforms the existing methods, and also has the advantages of lower training time and faster convergence.

    Abstract Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common worldwide disease with high mortality. Timely diagnosis and management of PE could significantly improve clinical outcomes. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a novel noninvasive technique to monitor lung perfusion and help detect PE at the bedside. Here we present a case of clinical management of subsegmental PE with the help of the bilateral ventilation and perfusion(V/Q) asymmetry EIT image.
    Case presentation: A 72-year-old cancer patient with respiratory failure and acute kidney injury in the intensive care unit was suspected of PE based on his clinical manifestation. The contraindication of computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) for PE diagnosis prevented escalating anticoagulation therapy. Besides EIT ventilation and perfusion monitoring showed an abnormal asymmetry V/Q match between the bilateral lungs which promoted our decision to start systemic continuous anticoagulation therapy and improved the patient clinically. The following CTPA which clarified the diagnosis of PE suggests that the patient has benefited from our decision.
    Conclusion: For critically ill patients with suspected PE, the asymmetry of the EIT V/Q image may provide crucial objective information for clinical management.

    Abstract Background: The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has struck globally. Whether the related proteins of retinoic acid (RA) signaling pathway are causally associated with the risk of COVID-19 remains unestablished. We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to assess the associations of retinol, retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), retinol dehydrogenase 16 (RDH16) and cellular retinoic acid binding protein 1 (CRABP1) with COVID-19 in European population.
    Methods: The outcome utilized the summary statistics of COVID-19 from the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative. The exposure data were obtained from public genome wide association study (GWAS) database. We extracted SNPs from exposure data and outcome data. The inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger and Wald ratio methods were employed to assess the causal relationship between exposure and outcome. Sensitivity analyses were performed to ensure the validity of the results.
    Results: The MR estimates showed that retinol was associated with lower COVID-19 susceptibility using IVW (OR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.53-0.90, P: 0.0065), whereas the associations between retinol and COVID-19 hospitalization or severity were not significant. RBP4 was associated with lower COVID-19 susceptibility using the Wald ratio (OR: 0.83, 95% CI: 0.72-0.95, P: 0.0072). IVW analysis showed RDH16 was associated with increased COVID-19 hospitalization (OR: 1.10, 95% CI: 1.01-1.18, P: 0.0199). CRABP1 was association with lower COVID-19 susceptibility (OR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.91-0.99, P: 0.0290) using the IVW.
    Conclusions: We found evidence of possible causal association of retinol, RBP4, RDH16 and CRABP1 with the susceptibility, hospitalization and severity of COVID-19. Our study defines that retinol is significantly associated with lower COVID-19 susceptibility, which provides a reference for the prevention of COVID-19 with vitamin A supplementation.

    Abstract Two new free-living marine nematode species of the genus Sabatieria de Rouville, 1903 are described from the Southern Ocean using morphological and molecular data. Sabatieria brevicaudata sp. nov. is characterized by body length 14761740 m, short cephalic setae, 1324% corresponding body diameter long, lateral differentiation of body cuticle with only slightly coarser punctations, spiral amphidial fovea with 3 turns, spicules arcuated and 1.31.6 cloacal body diameter long, slightly arcuated gubernacular apophyses, and twelve precloacal supplements, in the form of small pores. Sabatieria multipora sp. nov. is characterized by body length 21392324 m, short cephalic setae (47 m long, 3040% corresponding body diameter long), cuticle with lateral differentiation of distinctly coarser punctations extending from anterior edge of amphidial fovea to anterior of intestine and in the tail region, spiral amphidial fovea with 3 turns, males with spicules 1.92.0 cloacal body diameter long, seventeen fine tubular precloacal supplements with distance between adjacent supplements increasing towards anterior, and with curved gubernacular apophyses. We obtained 18S rDNA and 28S rDNA sequences from the two new species, which are both closely related to other species of Sabatieria. Our analyses also show that several genera of Comesomatidae Filipjev, 1918 do not form monophyletic clades.
