Article Abstract

Recently, the pandemic caused by COVID-19 is severe in the entire world. The prevention and control of crimes associated with COVID-19 are critical for controlling the pandemic. Therefore, to provide efficient and convenient intelligent legal knowledge services during the pandemic, we develop an intelligent system for legal information retrieval on the WeChat platform in this paper. The data source we used for training our system is "The typical cases of national procuratorial authorities handling crimes against the prevention and control of the new coronary pneumonia pandemic following the law", which is published online by the Supreme People's Procuratorate of the People's Republic of China. We base our system on convolutional neural network and use the semantic matching mechanism to capture inter-sentence relationship information and make a prediction. Moreover, we introduce an auxiliary learning process to help the network better distinguish the relation between two sentences. Finally, the system uses the trained model to identify the information entered by a user and responds to the user with a reference case similar to the query case and gives the reference legal gist applicable to the query case.

Current discussion surrounding the clinical capabilities of generative language models (GLMs) predominantly center around multiple-choice question-answer (MCQA) benchmarks derived from clinical licensing examinations. While accepted for human examinees, characteristics unique to GLMs bring into question the validity of such benchmarks. Here, we validate four benchmarks using eight GLMs, ablating for parameter size and reasoning capabilities, validating via prompt permutation three key assumptions that underpin the generalizability of MCQA-based assessments: that knowledge is applied, not memorized, that semantic consistency will lead to consistent answers, and that situations with no answers can be recognized.

The Apolipoprotein epsilon 4 (APOE ε4) genetic variant is notoriously linked to enhanced risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Several studies have examined how this allele could influence cognitive functioning in healthy adults, and whether ε4 carriers show a subtle cognitive decline that would indicate preclinical AD pathology. Research has predominantly focused on episodic memory, where ε4 carriers are usually impaired, while semantic memory functioning has received less attention.

Purpose: Personal narrative production, or the ability to talk about past events that have been personally experienced, relies on a wide range of linguistic skills and is influenced by memory and socio-emotional traits. This study investigated the predictive role of memory mechanisms and socio-emotional functioning on personal narrative production in children with developmental language disorder (DLD) compared to children with typical language development (TLD).

Method: Fifty 9- to 11-year-old Croatian-speaking children with DLD and 50 gender-matched peers with TLD narrated personal narratives elicited through emotion-based prompts using the Global TALES (Talking About Lived Experiences in Stories) protocol.

Identifying potential research collaborators with aligned expertise and complementary interests remains a persistent challenge, particularly in multidisciplinary and large-scale academic environments. This paper introduces Findme-Scholar, a contextual researcher recommender system aimed at enhancing research collaboration through adaptive topic interest area modelling. The system dynamically captures researchers' evolving thematic interests by analyzing publication metadata and semantic content to provide context-aware recommendations that surpass traditional static profile matching approaches.

Background And Hypothesis: psychotic disorders induced by substances like marijuana, amphetamines and methamphetamines (SIPDs) are a growing mental health problem, yet the question do they represent a separate psychotic class independent from schizophrenia (SZ) still stands. Studies comparing clinical and cognitive performance of SIPD and SZ patients have produced inconsistent results.

Study Design: we performed a cross-sectional analysis of 62 subjects divided into two statistically matched groups ( = 31 each) with SZ and SIPD respectively.
