Comparison of Brain-Behavioral Systems, Decision Making Styles and Cognitive Emotion Regulation in Adults with and without ADHD by Asiyeh Vakia, Reza Soltani Shal, Abbas Abolghasemi

“…However, a significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding the rational, intuitive, dependent, impulsive, and avoidant components of cognitive decision-making.Additionally, maladaptive emotion regulation strategies were more prevalent in adults with ADHD compared to those without the condition; however, adaptive emotion regulation strategies were found to be equally utilized by both groups.Discussion and conclusion: The findings of this study provide evidence for the psychopathology of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults and highlight the role of cognitive variables in this disorder.These findings indicate that decision-making styles and cognitive emotion regulation are among the variables that influence adult ADHD. …”

Cost–consequence analysis of COPD treatment according to NICE and GOLD recommendations compared with current clinical practice in the UK by Jennifer K Quint, Helene Vioix, Toby Capstick, Sue Langham, Jennifer Cook, Antony Wright, Shamika de Silva

“…Objectives The objective of this study was to model the clinical and economic impact of adapting current clinical practice in the management of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to treatment according to national and international guideline recommendations.Design Treatment mapping was undertaken to hypothetically redistribute patients from current clinical practice, representing actual prescribing patterns in the UK, to an alternative recommendation-based treatment scenario, representing prescribing in accordance with either National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance [NG115] or Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2020 strategy.Setting Primary care practices in the UK (1-year time horizon).Participants Adults with COPD undergoing long-acting inhaler maintenance therapy in the UK (N=1 067,531).Interventions Inhaler maintenance therapy.Outcome measures Costs and clinical outcomes (type of treatment, rates of moderate and/or severe exacerbations, and mild-to-moderate and/or severe pneumonia events) were modelled for the two alternative pathways.Results Compared with current clinical practice, treating patients according to NICE guidance resulted in an estimated annual reduction in expenditure of £46.9 million, and an estimated annual reduction in expenditure of over £43.7 million when patients were treated according to GOLD 2020 strategy. …”

Assessing the impact on mode competitiveness of improvements of the Trans-Eurasian railway network by Seyed Mohseni, Edwin van Hassel, Thierry Vanelslander

“…The third and main question of the paper is on whether the land bridge by rail would cost-wise be competitive enough to favour a large shift from sea to land. An adapted version of a chain cost model applied to seven city pairs shows that the cost of the maritime solution is notably higher the further away from the coast origin and/or destination are located. …”

Multi-type low-rate DDoS attack detection method based on hybrid deep learning by Lijuan LI, Man LI, Hongjun BI, Huachun ZHOU

“…Low-Rate distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack attacks the vulnerabilities in the adaptive mechanism of network protocols, posing a huge threat to the quality of network services.Low-Rate DDoS attack was characterized by high secrecy, low attack rate, and periodicity.Existing detection methods have the problems of single detection type and low identification accuracy.In order to solve them, a multi-type low-rate DDoS attack detection method based on hybrid deep learning was proposed.Different types of low-rate DDoS attacks and normal traffic in different scenarios under 5G environment were simulated.Traffic was collected at the network entrance and its traffic characteristic information was extracted to obtain multiple types of low-rate DDoS attack data sets.From the perspective of statistical threshold and feature engineering, the characteristics of different types of low-rate DDoS attacks were analyzed respectively, and the effective feature set of 40-dimension low-rate DDoS attacks was obtained.CNN-RF hybrid deep learning algorithm was used for offline training based on the effective feature set, and the performance of this algorithm was compared with LSTM-Light GBM and LSTM-RF algorithms.The CNN-RF detection model was deployed on the gateway to realize the online detection of multiple types of low-rate DDoS attacks, and the performance was evaluated by using the newly defined error interception rate and malicious traffic detection rate indexes.The results show that the proposed method can detect four types of low-rate DDoS attacks online, including Slow Headers attack, Slow Body attack, Slow Read attack and Shrew attack, and the error interception rate reaches 11.03% in 120 s time window.The detection rate of malicious traffic reaches 96.22%.It can be judged by the results that the proposed method can significantly reduce the intensity of low-rate DDoS attack traffic at the network entrance, and can be deployed and applied in the actual environment.…”
