Protocol for the development of a reporting guideline for causal and counterfactual prediction models in biomedicine by Yi Guo, Hua Xu, Fei Wang, Jie Xu, Jiang Bian, Robert Lucero, Mattia Prosperi

“…Introduction While there are guidelines for reporting on observational studies (eg, Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology, Reporting of Studies Conducted Using Observational Routinely Collected Health Data Statement), estimation of causal effects from both observational data and randomised experiments (eg, A Guideline for Reporting Mediation Analyses of Randomised Trials and Observational Studies, Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials, PATH) and on prediction modelling (eg, Transparent Reporting of a multivariable prediction model for Individual Prognosis or Diagnosis), none is purposely made for deriving and validating models from observational data to predict counterfactuals for individuals on one or more possible interventions, on the basis of given (or inferred) causal structures. …”

Effectiveness of Voytik-Harbin Protocol in Fabrication of Ram’s Testicular-Derived Hydrogel and Its Impact on Mouse In Vitro Spermatogenesis by Leila Rashki Ghaleno, Tohid Rezaei Topraggaleh, Leila Montazeri, Abdolhossein Shahverdi, Mojtaba Rezazadeh Valojerdi

“…Subsequently, mouse testicular cells were cultivated on collagen hydrogel as the control and the moreeffective testicular-derived hydrogel (TDH) to evaluate the early stages of in vitro spermatogenesis.Results: While the Freytes protocol produced a homogeneous pre-gel solution with both HCl concentrations; elevatingthe pH to 7.4 loosened the hydrogel and made gelation problematic. In contrast, the VH protocol solidifiedthe hydrogel and produced a strong hydrogel due to its gelation consistency. …”

MP-LLAVRec: an agricultural product recommendation algorithm based on LLAVA and user modal preference by Peishan Li, Peishan Li, Peishan Li, Lutao Gao, Lutao Gao, Lutao Gao, Lilian Zhang, Lilian Zhang, Lilian Zhang, Lin Peng, Lin Peng, Lin Peng, Chunhui Bai, Chunhui Bai, Chunhui Bai, Linnan Yang, Linnan Yang, Linnan Yang

“…However, the following three problems still exist in the traditional agricultural product recommendation domain: (1) the problem of missing modalities made it difficult for consumers to intuitively and comprehensively understood the product information; (2) most of them relied on shallow information about the basic attributes of agricultural products and ignored the deeper associations among the products; (3) they ignored the deeper connections among individual users and the intrinsic associations between the user embedding and the localized user representation in different modalities, which affected the accuracy of user modeling and hindered the final recommendation effect.MethodsTo address these problems, this paper innovatively proposed an agricultural product recommendation algorithm based on LLAVA and user behavioral characteristics, MP-LLaVRec(Modal Preference - Large Language and Vision Recommendation). …”
