Prediction is an important problem in different science domains. In this paper, we focus on trend prediction in complex networks, i.e. to identify the most popular nodes in the future. Due to the preferential attachment mechanism in real systems, nodes' recent degree and cumulative degree have been successfully applied to design trend prediction methods. Here we took into account more detailed information about the network evolution and proposed a temporal-based predictor (TBP). The TBP predicts the future trend by the node strength in the weighted network with the link weight equal to its exponential aging. Three data sets with time information are used to test the performance of the new method. We find that TBP have high general accuracy in predicting the future most popular nodes. More importantly, it can identify many potential objects with low popularity in the past but high popularity in the future. The effect of the decay speed in the exponential aging on the results is discussed in detail.

Expansion of medical school admission quotas in Korea, is it really necessary?
BMC Public Health
January 2025
Research Institute for Healthcare Policy, Korean Medical Association, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea.
Background: In 2024, the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare enforced a policy to increase the number of medical school students by 2,000 over the next 5 years, despite opposition from doctors. This study aims to predict the trend of excess or shortage of medical personnel in Korea due to the policy of increasing the number of medical school students by 2035.
Methods: Data from multiple sources, including the Ministry of Health and Welfare, National Health Insurance Corporation, and the Korean Medical Association, were used to estimate supply and demand.
Predicting land use and land cover changes for sustainable land management using CA-Markov modelling and GIS techniques.

Department of Wildlife Fisheries and Aquaculture, College of Forest Resources, Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS, 39762-9690, USA.
This study addresses the significant issue of rapid land use and land cover (LULC) changes in Lahore District, which is critical for supporting ecological management and sustainable land-use planning. Understanding these changes is crucial for mitigating adverse environmental impacts and promoting sustainable development. The main goal is to evaluate historical LULC changes from 1994 to 2024 and forecast future trends for 2034 and 2044 utilizing the CA-Markov hybrid model combined with GIS methodologies.

Using the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019) database, the Joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the trend of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) incidence and the standardized disability-adjusted life years (DALY) rate in China. The age, period, and cohort effects were discussed based on the age-period-cohort model. The grey prediction model GM (1, 1) was used to fit the trend of incidence and the standardized DALY rate of RA and predict the incidence and standardized DALY rate of RA in China from 2020 to 2034.

Background: Approximately 40% of individuals with diabetes worldwide are at risk of developing diabetic kidney disease (DKD), which is not only the leading cause of kidney failure, but also significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, causing significant societal health and financial burdens. This study aimed to describe the burden of DKD and explore its cross-country epidemiological status, predict development trends, and assess its risk factors and sociodemographic transitions.
Methods: Based on the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) Study 2021, data on DKD due to type 1 diabetes (DKD-T1DM) and type 2 diabetes (DKD-T2DM) were analyzed by sex, age, year, and location.
The neural basis of the insight memory advantage.

Department of Psychology, Humboldt University Berlin, Berlin, Germany; Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA.
Creative problem solving and memory are inherently intertwined: memory accesses existing knowledge while creativity enhances it. Recent studies show that insights often accompanying creative solutions enhance long-term memory. This insight memory advantage (IMA) is explained by the 'insight as prediction error (PE)' hypothesis which states that insights arise from PEs updating predictive solution models and thereby enhancing memory.
