Inverse least squares (ILS) regression is an advancement of classical least squares (CLS) regression, enabling the calculation of concentrations without requiring prior knowledge of the number of components in a mixture. Complex-valued ILS further enhances the performance of ILS by incorporating the complex refractive index function, as demonstrated in the thermodynamically ideal mixtures of benzene-toluene and benzene-cyclohexane. In both systems, the mean absolute error can be reduced by over 50% using the leave-one-out cross-validation (LVOOCV) scheme with complex-valued ILS. Additional error reduction is achievable by leveraging correlations between the errors and the imaginary components of the concentrations or volume fractions. Since the complex refractive index function can be conveniently determined using conventional infrared spectroscopy through the Kramers-Kronig relations, we believe that complex-valued machine learning has the potential to significantly advance analytical applications.

Background: The transition to motherhood is a women's life event that, while often joyful, can present challenges leading to postpartum depression. Understanding the roles of sense of coherence, self-efficacy, and social support in mitigating postpartum depression is crucial, particularly among Ethiopian mothers, where cultural practices may influence these dynamics.
Objectives: The objective of this study to evaluate the effect of sense of coherence, self-efficacy, social support, and stress on postpartum depression during the transition to motherhood.

Background: Parental vaccine hesitancy (VH) remains a public health concern in Georgia, where misinformation and distrust continue to hinder routine childhood immunization. VH is shaped by psychological, sociocultural, and informational factors, including trust in science, public authorities, and religious institutions. This study examined whether trust-related variables were stronger predictors of VH than traditional sociodemographic characteristics.

Background: Financial stability plays a crucial role in individuals' mental well-being, with emerging evidence suggesting a complex relationship between financial factors and depression. This study addresses three fundamental questions: (1) what is the relationship between financial stability and depression? and (2) To what extent is the relationship mediated by financial hardship? and (3) do these possible relationships differ by adolescents' age and gender?
Methods: A structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to examine the relationship between finance and depression using four variables: family income, diversified savings, financial hardship, and depression. The measurement of variables and structural models χ/df ratio < 1; root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) ≤ 0.

This study evaluates the accuracy of single camera markerless motion capture (SCMoCap) using Microsoft's Azure Kinect, enhanced with inverse kinematics (IK) via OpenSim, for upper limb movement analysis. Twelve healthy adults performed ten upper-limb tasks, recorded simultaneously by OptiTrack (marker-based) and Azure Kinect (markerless) from frontal and sagittal views. Joint angles were calculated using two methods: (1) direct kinematics based on body coordinate frames and (2) inverse kinematics using OpenSim's IK tool with anatomical keypoints.

Background And Objectives: Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) is an indicator of cerebrovascular health, and its signature in familial frontotemporal dementia (FTD) remains unknown. The primary aim was to investigate CVR in genetic FTD using an fMRI index of vascular contractility termed resting-state fluctuation amplitudes (RSFAs) and to assess whether RSFA differences are moderated by age. A secondary aim was to study the relationship between RSFA and cognition.
