Effect of Community Interventions on Intelligence Development of Infants

Objective To assess the interventions effect on intelligence of the infants through the community. Methods A total of 309 newborns and their families were recruited in Xuhui district, Shanghai. They were asked to fill out the baseline questionnaires. The newborns＇ intelligence quotients were measured by Developmental Screening Test for Child Under Six, and physical examinations were conducted at the same time. The newborns were randomly assigned to intervention group （156 cases） and control group （153 cases）. The infants and their families were followed up every 6 months. A questionnaire of follow-up was completed by face-to-face interview at the communities and infant intelligence quotients were measured and had their physical check-ups again at the end of the 6th month. Results After 6 months＇ intervention, the means of MI and DQ in the intervention group were respectively 5.96 and 9.80 higher than those in control group after adjustment of the baseline scores. Conclusion Early intelligence education in the community may promote the intelligence development of infants.

The association between folic acid supplementation,maternal folate during pregnancy and intelligence development in infants:a prospective cohort study

Objective The study aimed to explore the association between folic acid supplementation,maternal nutritional levels during pregnancy and intelligence development of infants.Method This was a prospective cohort study,mothers and their offspring in Jurong Maternal and Child Health Hospital were followed up through pregnancy up to 1 year.The basic information of pregnant women was obtained through questionnaire survey,including pregnancy lifestyle,marital status,vitamin and mineral supplements during pregnancy.Blood samples of pregnant women were collected on admission,serum folate,vitamin B12 and homocysteine concentrations were determined.Maternal postpartum colostrum was collected and the concentrations of folate and vitamin B12 in colostrum were determined.Pregnant women(n=478)and their corresponding infants were followed up and the Developmental Screen Test scores were recorded at 1,3,6,8 and 12 months of age.Results Compared with the normal group,infants in the low serum folate group had a score of 0.12 points lower in the intellectual energy zone(95%CI:-0.23–-0.01,P=0.04),and infants with the high homocysteine level scored 1.30 points lower than the lower-level group(95%CI:-2.52–-0.08,P=0.04).In the colostrum low-vitamin B12 level group,infants scored 0.10 points lower(95%CI:-1.84–-0.02,P=0.02)in the social adaptation zone compared to the normal group.Conclusion In conclusion,folic acid supplementation in the pre-pregnancy supplementation group and the post-pregnancy supplementation group may be not associated with infant mental development.In addition,maternal folate and homocysteine may be related to the intellectual development of infants.The level of vitamin B_(12)in colostrum may be associated with infants’social adaptive capacity.This result may be caused by individual differences in folate and homocysteine metabolism in pregnant women.

Standards Expected to Boost Development of Artificial Intelligence

The State Council,China's Cabinet issued the Development Plan for the New Generation of Artificial Intelligence(Plan for short)on July 20,2017.The Plan vows to reach the advanced world level in overall technology and application of AI and initially build AI technical standards and service system by 2020.

International Papers Contribution on Artificial Intelligence Promotes the Application and Development of Big Data in the Petroleum Industry

Artificial intelligence is a new technological science that researches and develops theories,methods,technologies and application systems for simulating,extending and expanding human intelligence.It simulates certain human thought processes and intelligent behaviors(such as learning,reasoning,thinking,planning,etc.),and produces a new type of intelligent machine that can respond in a similar way to human intelligence.In the past 30 years,it has achieved rapid development in various industries and related disciplines such as manufacturing,medical care,finance,and transportation.

Intelligent Development Environment and Software Knowledge Graph

Software intelligent development has become one of the most important research trends in software engineering. In this paper, we put forward two key concepts -- intelligent development environment （IntelliDE） and software knowledge graph -- for the first time. IntelliDE is an ecosystem in which software big data are aggregated, mined and analyzed to provide intelligent assistance in the life cycle of software development. We present its architecture and discuss its key research issues and challenges. Software knowledge graph is a software knowledge representation and management framework, which plays an important role in IntelliDE. We study its concept and introduce some concrete details and examples to show how it could be constructed and leveraged.
