    Abstract Pre-service physical education teachers (PSPTs) have long been an important area of specific development in physical education and have become a significant force in the field of physical education and research over the past two decades. However, exploratory research on pre-service teachers remains relatively scarce, and lack a comprehensive scientific exploration of the scope of their role. Therefore, this study provides a comprehensive overview of pre-service physical education teacher education (PETE) from both a broad and specific perspective. Specifically, it includes the current state of PETE, the most influential authors, countries, journals, and literature, as well as specific research topics and future directions within PETE. Following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a total of 340 articles were included, with 84 of them being empirical studies. The findings reveal that teacher training, diversity, equity, and inclusion in education, educational attitudes and beliefs, educational quality, educational methods and technology, career motivation, teaching models and strategies, and teacher assessment and reflection are major research themes. Visual analysis of the application of pre-service physical education teacher research highlights teacher training, diversity, equity, and inclusion in education, as well as instructional technology, as key areas of future focus. These insights contribute to the reasonable application of bibliometrics in the field of pre-service physical education teacher research.

    Abstract Splenic tissue outside the normal anatomical site can be collectively referred to as ectopic spleen. Clinically, the commonest causes of ectopic spleen include accessory spleen, splenic tissue implantation, and splenogonadal fusion (SGF). Accessory spleen is mostly caused by congenital dysplasia, is mostly located near the spleen, and may be supplied by the splenic artery. Splenic implantation is mostly caused by autologous spleen tissue transplantation caused by trauma or surgery. SGF is the abnormal fusion of the spleen with the gonad or with the mesonephric derivatives. As a rare developmental malformation, it is difficult to make a correct diagnosis preoperatively, and easily misdiagnosed as a testicular tumor cause lifelong harm to patients. An 18-year-old male student who developed left testicular pain without obvious cause that radiated to the perineum 4 months prior to presentation. He was diagnosed with cryptorchidism 12 years ago and underwent orchiopexy without intraoperative frozen section examination. An ultrasound was performed, identifying hypoechoic nodules in the left testis, suggestive of seminoma. During surgery, the testicular tumor revealed a dark red tissue and the diagnosis of a pathological ectopic splenic tissue was made. Because the clinical manifestations of SGF are not specific, misdiagnosis and unnecessary orchiectomy may occur. If a complete preoperative examination which includes biopsy or intraoperative frozen section is performed, unnecessary orchiectomy can be effectively avoided and bilateral fertility can be preserved.

    Abstract Objective: The Food and Drug Administration guidance recommended that for the indication of vasomotor symptoms (VMS), studies should enroll participants with minimum of seven to eight moderate to severe VMS per day at baseline, and coprimary endpoints should be the mean change in frequency/severity at weeks 4 and 12. This study aimed to estimate placebo effects in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) fulfilling this guidance.
    Methods: PubMed was searched using the following terms: "vasomotor symptom or hot flash or hot flashes or hot flash or hot flashes [title/abstract]," "menopause or climacteric," "RCT or randomized controlled or randomized controlled," "placebo [title/abstract]," and "frequency or severity." Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) placebo controlled RCTs, (2) enrolling women with moderate or severe VMS with a minimal frequency more than seven to eight times per day or 50 times per week, and (3) efficacy measurements including mean change in VMS frequency from baseline at week 12. A random-effects model was used in the meta-analysis.
    Results: Seventeen studies were included for the estimation of VMS frequency reduction and 13 studies for severity. Estimated change of VMS frequency in placebo arms was -5.44 times per day (95% CI, -5.81 to -5.07 times per day) at week 12. For VMS severity, the estimated change at week 12 was -0.36 (95% CI, -0.46 to -0.27).
    Conclusion: Substantial and consistent placebo effects were observed in RCTs for VMS treatment. These data suggest a reduction of 5.44 times per day in frequency and 0.36 in severity might be observed as a placebo effect.

    Abstract Objective: To analyze the relationship between effective distance and epidemic spread trajectory and between arrival time and scale based on the COVID-19 data outbreak in Wuhan and thus to improve the prediction ability of the spread of infectious disease.
    Methods: Up to January 28, 2020, the reporting date, the onset date, and the cumulative number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in each province and city were collected. Baidu migration data was used to calculate the effective distance from Wuhan city to other regions. The reporting date and onset date of the first diagnosed patient were taken as the arrival time, respectively, to establish a linear regression model of effective distance and arrival time. In different provinces and cities, the logarithm of the cumulative number of confirmed cases with a base of 5 was taken as the criteria to determine the level of the cumulative confirmed cases. Based on this, the linear regression model of effective distance and the level of cumulative confirmed cases in the provincial and municipal units was established.
    Results: The linear correlation between the reporting date of the first confirmed patient and the effective distance was not strong. The coefficients of determination (
    Conclusion: The effective distance has a good fit with the model of the onset date of the first confirmed patient and the level of cumulative confirmed cases, which can predict the trajectory, time, and transmission range of the epidemic. It can be taken as the reference for the early warning, prevention, and control of sudden acute infectious diseases from a macro perspective.

    Abstract In this paper, we present a transformer architecture for predicting student performance on standardized tests. Specifically, we leverage students historical data, including their past test scores, study habits, and other relevant information, to create a personalized model for each student. We then use these models to predict their future performance on a given test. Applying this model to the RIIID dataset, we demonstrate that using multiple granularities for temporal features as the decoder input significantly improve model performance. Our results also show the effectiveness of our approach, with substantial improvements over the LightGBM method. Our work contributes to the growing field of AI in education, providing a scalable and accurate tool for predicting student outcomes.

    Abstract This paper presents a hidden Markov model designed to investigate the complex nature of earnings persistence. The proposed model assumes that the residuals of log-earnings consist of a persistent component and a transitory component, both following general Markov processes. Nonparametric identification is achieved through spectral decomposition of linear operators, and a modified stochastic EM algorithm is introduced for model estimation. Applying the framework to the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) dataset, we find that the earnings process displays nonlinear persistence, conditional skewness, and conditional kurtosis. Additionally, the transitory component is found to possess non-Gaussian properties, resulting in a significantly asymmetric distributional impact when high-earning households face negative shocks or low-earning households encounter positive shocks. Our empirical findings also reveal the presence of ARCH effects in earnings at horizons ranging from 2 to 8 years, further highlighting the complex dynamics of earnings persistence.

    Abstract Retail sales forecasting presents a significant challenge for large retailers such as Walmart and Amazon, due to the vast assortment of products, geographical location heterogeneity, seasonality, and external factors including weather, local economic conditions, and geopolitical events. Various methods have been employed to tackle this challenge, including traditional time series models, machine learning models, and neural network mechanisms, but the difficulty persists. Categorizing data into relevant groups has been shown to improve sales forecast accuracy as time series from different categories may exhibit distinct patterns. In this paper, we propose a new measure to indicate the unique impacts of the trend and seasonality components on a time series and suggest grouping time series based on this measure. We apply this approach to Walmart sales data from 01/29/2011 to 05/22/2016 and generate sales forecasts from 05/23/2016 to 06/19/2016. Our experiments show that the proposed strategy can achieve improved accuracy. Furthermore, we present a robust pipeline for conducting retail sales forecasting.
