Overcoming the Potential Drawbacks of Artificial Intelligence in Psychotherapy: Literature Updates

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has progressively impacted healthcare around the world. The increasing need for readily available mental health services, coupled with the swift advancement of novel technologies, prompts conversations over the viability of psychotherapy approaches using engagements with AI. Despite the positive impacts, there are recognizable drawbacks associated with the application of AI in psychotherapy. Establishing a therapeutic alliance is difficult for non-human entities. Psychotherapy is a task too complex for limited artificial intelligence. AI appears capable of handling jobs that are clearly defined and relatively straightforward. Besides, AI malfunctions, data confidentiality, informed consent, and risk of bias are potential concerns. We present a literature update of possible solutions to overcome these concerns.

The political economy of infant and young child feeding: confronting corporate power,overcoming structural barriers, and accelerating progress

Despite increasing evidence about the value and importance of breastfeeding, less than half of the world's infants and youngchildren (aged 0-36 months) are breastfed as recommended. This Series paper examines the social, political, and economic reasonsfor this problem. First, this paper highlights the power of the commercial milk formula (CMF) industry to commodify the feedingof infants and young children;influence policy at both national and international levels in ways that grow and sustain CMF markets;and externalise the social, environmental, and economic costs of CMF. Second, this paper examines how breastfeeding isundermined by economic policies and systems that ignore the value of care work by women, including breastfeeding, and by theinadequacy of maternity rights protection across the world, especially for poorer women. Third, this paper presents three reasonswhy health systems often do not provide adequate breastfeeding protection, promotion, and support. These reasons are thegendered and biomedical power systems that deny women-centred and culturally appropriate care;the economic and ideologicalfactors that accept, and even encourage, commercial influence and conflicts of interest;and the fiscal and economic policies thatleave governments with insufficient funds to adequately protect, promote, and support breastfeeding. We outline six sets of widerangingsocial, political, and economic reforms required to overcome these deeply embedded commercial and structural barriersto breastfeeding.

Introduction on the Emotion-Will Overcoming Therapy (EWOT): A Novel Alternative Approach of Psychological Treatment from Chinese Medicine

Emotional disorders and mental illnesses constitute a significant part of diseases. In Chinese medicine, emotional disorders and mental illnesses are classified as emotion-will (Qing Zhi) disorders. Emotion-will, i.e. seven emotions (Qi Qing: happiness, anger, anxiety, pensiveness, sorrow, fear, and fright) and five wills (Wu Zhi: happiness, anger, thinking, sorrow, and fear), play a basic role in the onset, progress and prognosis of almost all diseases, not only the mental illnesses. The emotion-will overcoming therapy (EWOT) is defined as a psychological approach that a therapist employs single or multiple emotions to overcome and eliminate patients’ abnormal morbid emotions and to heal mind-body disorders derived from the abnormality. EWOT lays a foundation for the philosophical foundation of Chinese medicine, i.e. Yin and Yang, and five elements, which is believed to be the most commonly utilized and effective modality in dealing with mental illnesses. This essay covers the origin and development, underlying mechanism, clinical application, basic researches of emotion-will system and EWOT and the comparison with conventional therapies. Thus, EWOT could draw more attention in the field of psychology and spread in clinical practice.

Quantum Continual Learning Overcoming Catastrophic Forgetting

Catastrophic forgetting describes the fact that machine learning models will likely forget the knowledge of previously learned tasks after the learning process of a new one.It is a vital problem in the continual learning scenario and recently has attracted tremendous concern across different communities.We explore the catastrophic forgetting phenomena in the context of quantum machine learning.It is found that,similar to those classical learning models based on neural networks,quantum learning systems likewise suffer from such forgetting problem in classification tasks emerging from various application scenes.We show that based on the local geometrical information in the loss function landscape of the trained model,a uniform strategy can be adapted to overcome the forgetting problem in the incremental learning setting.Our results uncover the catastrophic forgetting phenomena in quantum machine learning and offer a practical method to overcome this problem,which opens a new avenue for exploring potential quantum advantages towards continual learning.

Microscale tissue-engineered models:overcoming barriers to adoption for neural regeneration research

The last decade has seen a steady proliferation in the use of tissue-engineered cell culture systems（Deforest and Anseth,2012）,and these have been put to good use for studying neural axon growth and guidance（Li and Hoffman-Kim,2008;Roy et al.,2013）.These systems have been designed to more closely mimic the natural microenvironment of the developing or repairing nervous system and to enable spatiotemporal control over certain aspects of the microenvironment.

Overcoming the “reverse transmission mechanism” for sustainable growth

"Reverse transmission mechanism" is a deep-seated problem in China's economy.Understanding it is the key to unraveling the interaction among China's growth mechanism,cycles and policy options.In the new millennium,great changes have occurred in the economic environment and the "reverse transmission mechanism" has shown that it works in different ways.From this approach,this paper concludes that "welfare and administrative spending rigidity" after 2000 has a stronger feature of "reverse transmission," which forces China's economy onto a path of unsustainable expansion.To seek sustainable growth,new reverse transmissions of welfare and administrative spending must be broken.In light of the present phase of development,only by adjusting administrative costs and welfare spending can we balance development,transform the growth pattern,and embark on a sustainable path.

集群对草鱼、鲢幼鱼克流上溯行为的影响

为修复河湖中鱼类的洄游通道和栖息生境,国内外已建设各型护鱼措施并开展大量水力学与生态学相关研究。集群作为一种广泛存在的生物种群行为,解析其在鱼类洄游过程中的作用机制意义重大。本研究营造低湍动能、非均匀流场,针对我国重要淡水经济鱼种草鱼(Ctenopharyngodon idella)和鲢(Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)展开研究。本研究通过在3种流速工况(0.25~0.50m/s、0.30~0.60 m/s、0.35~0.70 m/s)下,考察5尾处理组和单尾处理组的实验鱼持久上溯能力及上溯行为特征,量化集群对其克流能力的影响并解析原因。研究显示,集群对草鱼持久上溯能力的影响因流速而异,当流速为0.30~0.60m/s和0.35~0.70m/s时,5尾组持久上溯能力分别显著高于(P=0.030)和低于(P=0.048)单尾组;而集群能够普遍提高鲢的持久上溯能力,当流速为0.25~0.50 m/s(P=0.004)和0.35~0.70 m/s(P<0.001)时,5尾组持久上溯能力提升显著。集群多数情况会增加2种鱼的上溯耗时,只有当流速为0.35~0.70m/s时,鲢的首次上溯时长在集群时显著下降(P<0.001)。集群能够帮助草鱼节能上溯,却会增加鲢的上溯累积耗能。综上所述,集群既可提高也可抑制鱼类上溯能力,其对上溯行为的影响主要体现在能耗、视觉反应及克流能力等方面,研究结果可为鱼类保护设施的设计、运行进一步提供可靠支持。

全链路数字化转型过程中的组织惯性克服机制

数字经济时代,涵盖全场域的全链路数字化转型往往面临更广范围的历史束缚,使得传统企业深陷历史惯性囹圄,克服组织惯性成为传统企业实现数字化发展的首要任务。本文对飞鹤乳业的数字化转型实践过程进行探索性案例分析,探究传统企业全链路数字化转型过程中面临的组织惯性及其克服机制。研究发现:全链路数字化转型过程中,(1)组织惯性显现范围被扩大,企业面临跨功能认知惯性与跨功能结构惯性的变革阻力;(2)传统企业通过由外而内的资源编排方式来克服跨功能组织惯性阻力,且不同类别跨功能组织惯性克服的内在机理存在异质性。对于跨功能认知惯性克服,企业采用“外源型结构化-传承型能力化-置换型杠杆化”的资源编排策略;对于跨功能结构惯性克服,企业采用“外源型结构化-开拓型能力化-组合型杠杆化”的资源编排策略。本文不仅扩展了数字化转型情境下组织惯性的相关理论,还为传统企业成功推进数字化转型提供了实践指引。

Insights and implications of sexual dimorphism in osteoporosis

Osteoporosis,a metabolic bone disease characterized by low bone mineral density and deterioration of bone microarchitecture,has led to a high risk of fatal osteoporotic fractures worldwide.Accumulating evidence has revealed that sexual dimorphism is a notable feature of osteoporosis,with sex-specific differences in epidemiology and pathogenesis.Specifically,females are more susceptible than males to osteoporosis,while males are more prone to disability or death from the disease.To date,sex chromosome abnormalities and steroid hormones have been proven to contribute greatly to sexual dimorphism in osteoporosis by regulating the functions of bone cells.Understanding the sex-specific differences in osteoporosis and its related complications is essential for improving treatment strategies tailored to women and men.This literature review focuses on the mechanisms underlying sexual dimorphism in osteoporosis,mainly in a population of aging patients,chronic glucocorticoid administration,and diabetes.Moreover,we highlight the implications of sexual dimorphism for developing therapeutics and preventive strategies and screening approaches tailored to women and men.Additionally,the challenges in translating bench research to bedside treatments and future directions to overcome these obstacles will be discussed.
