YOLOV9-CBM: An Improved Fire Detection Algorithm Based on YOLOV9 by Xin Geng, Xiao Han, Xianghong Cao, Yixuan Su, Dongxue Shu

“…Besides, we transformed the multi-scale fusion network PANet in the baseline algorithm into a bidirectional feature network pyramid BiFPN to facilitate the bidirectional flow of features, enabling the algorithm to fuse information at different scales more effectively. Finally, instead of CIoU losses, we adopted MPDIoU losses in bounding box regression, which improved the accuracy of model regression and classification. …”

The Algorithm for Predicting the Numerical Value of Salivary Cortisol Based on Heart Rate Variations in the Healthy Men by Mohammad Reza Noruzi, Marzieh Barzegar, Mahdi Alizadeh, Boshra Hatef

“…Conclusion: In this study, it was found that a set of linear and non-linear indicators of HRV with high power can predict the amount of salivary cortisol in the best case with a low error percentage of 7.43 by the RBF algorithm, and instead of stress self-report that does not cover the physiological part. …”

Long Noncoding RNAs, Chromatin, and Development by Daniel P. Caley, Ryan C. Pink, Daniel Trujillano, David R. F. Carter

“…In this review, we will describe recent work suggesting that lncRNAs are more than transcriptional "noise", but instead play a functional role by acting as tethers and guides to bind proteins responsible for modifying chromatin and mediating their deposition at specific genomic locations. …”

Frequency of Different Types of Diagnostic Errors in Patients with Central Nervous System Infections: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study by HamidReza Naderi, Fereshte Sheybani, Omid Khosravi, Mehdi Jabbari Nooghabi

“…Although diagnosis and management of CNS infection in some patients are straightforward, clinical decision making in facing patients with complex scenarios often requires clinical reasoning instead of relying only on intuitive diagnosis. Justification in requesting diagnostic measures and interpretation of their results based on clinical findings and patient information could be a critical factor in preventing a substantial number of diagnostic errors in patients with CNS infection.…”

New Insights into the PPARγ Agonists for the Treatment of Diabetic Nephropathy by Zhanjun Jia, Ying Sun, Guangrui Yang, Aihua Zhang, Songming Huang, Kristina Marie Heiney, Yue Zhang

“…Recently, numerous novel PPARγ agonists involving the endogenous PPARγ ligands and selective PPARγ modulators (SPPARMs) are emerging as the promising candidates of the next generation of antidiabetic drugs instead of TZDs. Due to the higher selectivity of these novel PPARγ agonists on the regulation of the antidiabetes-associated genes than that of the side effect-associated genes, they present fewer adverse effects than TZDs. …”

Communication Culture as a Matrix for Graduate's “Soft Skills” Development by N. G. Chevtaeva, A. S. Nikitina, A. V. Vishnevskaya

“…At the same time, an expert survey of recruiting specialists who assessed the level of communication skills of graduates majoring in economics and management showed a vivid disparity between free use of digital technologies (digital skills) and poor communication skills (soft skills).An analysis of the online questionnaire survey of teachers and students in the field of economics and management of nine Russian universities revealed barriers to the formation of “soft skills” of future graduates: inability to see the interests of the “Other”, the habit of pointing fingers instead of solving problems, the lack of client-oriented skills as well as willingness to take personal responsibility for the results of work. …”
