As expensive therapeutics rise to the fore of heart failure management, out-of-pocket (OOP) medication costs have become increasingly relevant to patient care. Prescription medication costs influence medical decision-making and affect adherence. Yet, individualized cost estimates are seldom available during clinical encounters when prescription decisions are made.

Youths with ASD/DD are prone to sensory overload and frequently exhibit agitation and/or aggression, necessitating specialized interventions. However, PEDs lack standardized protocols for managing behavioral dysregulation in this vulnerable population, often relying on anecdotal treatment approaches that hinder the provision of safe, effective and individualized care.

To address the difficulty in detecting workers' violation behaviors in electric power construction scenarios, this paper proposes an innovative method that integrates knowledge reasoning and progressive multi-level distillation techniques. First, standards, norms, and guidelines in the field of electric power construction are collected to build a comprehensive knowledge graph, aiming to provide accurate knowledge representation and normative analysis. Then, the knowledge graph is combined with the object-detection model in the form of triplets, where detected objects and their interactions are represented as subject-predicate-object relationship.
