A swarming behavior problem is investigated in this article for heterogeneous uncertain agents with cooperation-competition interactions. In such a problem, the agents are described by second-order continuous systems with different intrinsic nonlinear terms, which satisfies the "linearity-in-parameters" condition, and the agents' models are coupled together through a distributed protocol containing the information of competitive neighbors. Then, for four different types of cooperation-competition networks, a distributed Lyapunov-based redesign approach is proposed for the heterogeneous uncertain agents, where the distributed controller and the estimation laws of unknown parameters are obtained. Under their joint actions, the heterogeneous uncertain multiagent system can achieve distributed stabilization for structurally unbalanced networks and output bipartite consensus for structurally balanced networks. In particular, the concept of coherent networks is proposed for structurally unbalanced directed networks, which is beneficial to the design of distributed controllers. Finally, four illustrative examples are given to show the effectiveness of the designed distributed controller.

Background: The symptoms of Long coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) are heterogeneous, creating uncertainty for employers regarding the diagnosis. The prevalence of Long Covid-19 in the workforce is also unknown. Furthermore, workers affected by Long Covid-19 encounter considerable difficulties in ensuring work safety and returning to their jobs due to this condition.

Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is a body composition phenotype derived from the simultaneous presence in the same individual of an increase in fat mass and a decrease in skeletal muscle mass and/or function. Several protocols for the diagnosis of SO have been proposed in the last two decades making prevalence and disease risk estimates of SO heterogeneous and challenging to interpret. Dementia is a complex neurological disorder that significantly impacts patients, carers and healthcare systems.

Background: It remains uncertain whether the utilization of methylprednisolone during surgery effectively mitigates the occurrence of adverse outcomes. To examine the association between perioperative methylprednisolone administration and postoperative pleural effusion and pneumonia in older patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study included non-small cell lung cancer patients aged 65 years or older undergoing thoracic surgery between January 2012 and December 2019 in China.

Objective: Observational studies suggest CSF metabolites may be linked to Parkinson's disease (PD) onset, but causality is uncertain. This study uses a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization approach to investigate the causal relationship between CSF metabolites and PD.

Methods: Data on 338 CSF metabolites and PD-related traits were obtained from genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

Despite the significant benefits of aquatic passive sampling (low detection limits and time-weighted average concentrations), the use of passive samplers is impeded by uncertainties, particularly concerning the accuracy of sampling rates. This study employed a systematic evaluation approach based on the combination of meta-analysis and quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPR) models to address these issues. A comprehensive meta-analysis based on extensive data from 298 studies on the Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Sampler (POCIS) identified essential configuration parameters, including the receiving phase (type, mass) and the diffusion-limiting membrane (type, thickness, pore size), as key factors influencing uptake kinetic parameters.
