Comparison of CNN-Based Models in Facial Micro-Expression Classification
type: item
description: With the rapid development of deep learning, especially the application of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), significant progress has been made in the identification and recognition of facial micro-expressions. This paper explores and compares three widely used models in this field: VGG, DenseNet, and ResNet, across seven expression labels—Anger, Disgust, Fear, Happiness, Neutral, Sadness, and Surprise. The comparison is based on several key evaluation metrics commonly used in deep learning classification tasks. To ensure consistency, critical training parameters such as epochs, learning rate, and data preprocessing steps are kept the same across all models. Additionally, a dropout layer is incorporated to address issues such as overfitting and improve generalization in each model. These works indicate that VGG has the highest performance in RAFDB dataset because it as an F1-score of 0.76, an AUC value of 0.95, and a 75% accuracy rate. Additionally, VGG uses only 1243.31MB of memory, making it the most efficient model compared to the other two models. This shows that VGG excels not only in performance but also in memory efficiency.

Integrating Multimodal Data for Deep Learning-Based Facial Emotion Recognition
type: item
description: With the rapid development of neural networks, emotion recognition has become a research area of great concern. It has important applications not only in marketing and human-computer interaction but also holds significant importance for improving emotional computing and user experience. This paper studies various methods for emotion recognition in images and videos, utilizing convolutional neural networks (CNN), multi-layer perceptron (MLP), and fusion models. The Facial Expression Recognition 2013 (FER2013) image dataset and the Ryerson Audio-Visual Database of Emotional Speech and Song (RAVDESS) audio and video dataset serve as the basis for this study. The experimental results indicate that ResNet18 outperforms others in image emotion recognition, attributed to its residual block design and the incorporation of regularization techniques. In the realm of video emotion recognition, the audio model based on MLP demonstrates a superior ability to identify emotional information. Although the fusion of image and audio models theoretically could enhance accuracy, the randomness of video frames prevents the fusion model from achieving the desired effect. Future research might further explore the application of time series models in video emotion recognition to capture continuous emotional changes within videos.

Based on the fact that female thyroid cancer has become the eighth most common tumor in women, this study first conducted an extensive search and collation of relevant theories, and then used literature research methods, case study methods, survey methods, empirical methods, and other research methods to study the problems of lifestyle and the disease, intraoperative, and prognosis of thyroid nodules in women. Large changes in estrogen levels, large mood swings, and easy malnutrition are the three major factors that women are prone to disease. Lifestyle changes do not directly cure thyroid nodules, but can help improve overall health and may help slow the development of nodules or the effects of associated symptoms. A healthy diet, psychological adjustment, and routine can help patients maintain or restore a normal quality of life after surgery. We need to work together at different levels to reduce the prevalence of thyroid nodules in women and improve the treatment outcomes.

Mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance
type: item
description: Antimicrobial resistance or AMR is a phenomenon that is characterized by a resistance towards antibiotics found in bacteria. It has become especially prevalent in the last 5 decades due along with development of antibiotics which are often misused. Bacteria obtain these resistant characteristics from mutation and all other mechanisms of acquiring new genes. A variety of resistant mechanisms are present in bacteria, each of which are better suited for certain antibiotics which include: Inactivation of the drug, alteration of target sites, alteration of cell permeability, and efflux pumps. There are two main ways which drugs are inactivated. Firstly, the drug is completely degraded and second, the drug is inactivated by binding to a chemical group. Both are done by enzymes within the bacteria. Alteration of drug sites involves the mutation of potential targets within the cell for antibiotics. This often takes the form of changing its chemical structure, inhibiting the target, or increasing in potential target sites. Alteration of permeability are often mutations in the cell membrane so that antibiotics are unable to enter the cell. This often involves the alteration of porins which are channels that allow foreign substance into the cell. The mechanism of efflux pumps involves the action of removing antibitics that are already in the cell. Efflux pumps are believed to be an innate factor of bacteria originally being used to remove potentially harmful but natural substances.

Micronutrient Supplementation as an Alternative Therapy for Managing ADHD Symptoms
type: item
description: The neurodevelopmental disorder known as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a long-term condition marked by impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattention, affecting both children and adults. Although amphetamines and methylphenidate are prominent stimulant drugs used to treat similar symptoms, there are concerns about adverse effects, including potential reliance, appetite suppression, and disturbed sleep—have driven interest in alternative or complementary therapies. One emerging area of research focuses on micronutrient supplementation, which involves providing vitamins and minerals at higher doses than those typically consumed in a regular diet. Although the precise causal relationship between these deficiencies and ADHD symptoms remains unclear, it is hypothesized that correcting these imbalances might alleviate some of the condition's cognitive and behavioral challenges. Early findings suggest that micronutrient supplementation could be a valuable adjunct to traditional treatments, potentially offering a more holistic approach to managing ADHD symptoms. However, further research is needed to fully understand the therapeutic potential and establish clear guidelines for its use in clinical practice. Mendelian randomization studies have found no significant links between most micronutrients and ADHD, with some suggesting a potential connection to copper levels. Furthermore, the possibility of using omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to reduce the main symptoms of ADHD has been investigated. Ongoing studies indicate that consistent micronutrient therapy could yield results comparable to those of stimulants, often enhancing mood and reducing anxiety. Future research should prioritize personalized treatment approaches that integrate genetic, environmental, and dietary factors to optimize ADHD management.

Research Progress on Stem Cell Regulation of Macrophage Polarization in Promoting Spinal Cord Injury Recovery in Stem Cell Transplantation
type: item
description: With the advancement of spinal cord injury (SCI) research, stem cell therapy has garnered increasing attention. However, the field encompasses numerous research topics and branches, necessitating further organization and focus. This review aims to provide a coherent summary of the mechanisms and roles of stem cells in SCI treatment, addressing three key aspects: the role of macrophage polarization in SCI, the regulatory mechanisms by which stem cells, specifically mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and neural stem cells (NSCs), influence macrophage polarization, and the signaling pathways involved in stem cell-regulated macrophage polarization. Correct macrophage polarization is crucial for effective SCI treatment, with MSCs and NSCs contributing through chemical mediators, modulation of macrophage polarization, and interactions with signaling pathways. Ultimately, the review will explore how these signaling pathways enhance SCI treatment through diverse forms of signal transduction and regulation. In conclusion, this review will summarize current insights into stem cell therapy for SCI, integrating the three interconnected aspects discussed.

Research on Computer Model of Seismic Performance and Shear Bearing Capacity of Prefabricated Building Wall Structure Based on BIM
type: item
description: The Markov model limited maximum likelihood algorithm is used to analyze the image. Then, the original image block and the image block affected by noise are estimated respectively. Local adaptive regression kernel and principal component analysis were used to extract feature and cluster the image block structure. The original image block's mean value and covariance matrix were computed. Subsequently, by applying weighted averaging techniques to these matrices, the noise reduction estimates for each individual image block could be achieved. The maximum likelihood method is used to make the completely confocal non-correlation, and the Markov random field model is used to limit it. This method can recover the high frequency component of the image well. The seismic response characteristics of fabricated building steel frames are studied. The results show that each group of tests follows the structural system of "block-rib-frame column triple seismic defense system", and its failure mode is one of overall shear failure. The combination of SRC frame and inclined ribbed composite shear wall can not only significantly improve its shear performance, but also obtain better damping effect.

Combating false information in Emergencies: Leveraging LLMs for Targeted False Information and Clarification Generation
type: item
description: The rapid dissemination of false information during emergencies has become a significant challenge in managing online public opinion. While large language models (LLMs) have enhanced the speed and efficiency of information generation, they have also exacerbated the complexity of public sentiment by facilitating the spread of both false and clarifying information. This paper addresses the critical need for targeted clarification information to counteract false narratives during emergencies. We propose a novel approach by fine-tuning open-source LLMs to generate both false information and corresponding clarification texts, tailored to specific emergency scenarios and public opinion dynamics. By constructing a high-quality dataset of 1,715 paired false and clarification information samples from authoritative platforms, we employ a task-separated fine-tuning strategy using LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) to optimize model performance. Our evaluation metrics, including text fluency (BLEU), novelty (NOV), and diversity (DIV), demonstrate that fine-tuned models, particularly LLaMA3.1, excel in generating coherent and relevant texts. The results highlight the potential of LLMs in both generating and debunking false information, offering a robust framework for improving public opinion management during emergencies. This research contributes to the growing body of work on false information mitigation and provides practical insights for leveraging LLMs in crisis communication.

Impacts of Dietary Patterns on Cardiovascular Disease
type: item
description: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), one of the world's leading causes of mortality, has diet as a significant modifiable risk factor. Studies show that following healthy eating guidelines including the Mediterranean Diet (MD), Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2015), Healthy Plant-based Diet Index (HPDI), and Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) significantly lowers the risk of CVD. These benefits are brought about by some mechanisms such as better lipid profiles, reduced inflammation, improved glucose metabolism, and gut microbiota modification. Thus, there is currently study in a number of areas, including cross-cultural applicability, long-term survivability, and several customized intervention strategies. In order to improve the human CVD prevention, this review can address some effects and mechanisms of healthy eating on CVD and also highlight the need for more research on precision nutrition, cross-cultural adaptation, and technology-based individualized dietary treatments.

Relationship between capsule formation and drug resistance of Cryptococcus
type: item
description: The polysaccharide capsule of Cryptococcus plays a pivotal role in both its pathogenicity and resistance to antifungal therapies. This capsule acts as a physical barrier, impeding the penetration of antifungal drugs and thereby reducing their efficacy in killing fungal cells. Moreover, chemical modifications of the capsule, including acetylation and xylosylation, further enhance its resistance to drugs, particularly azole antifungals. Beyond its role in drug resistance, the capsule also facilitates immune evasion, enabling Cryptococcus to survive and persist within the host by interfering with the host's immune defenses. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of glucuronoxylomannan (GXM) and its modified sugar derivatives in the structure and function of the capsule. However, the precise mechanisms governing the transport and interactions involved in the assembly of the capsule’s fibrillar network remain poorly understood. Furthermore, alterations in capsule composition, density, and modification significantly influence the pathogen's resistance to antibiotics. Future research is needed to elucidate the synthesis, modification, and assembly processes of the capsule, as well as its specific contributions to drug resistance and immune evasion. Such insights could provide new therapeutic targets and strategies for combating Cryptococcus infections.
