This work is dedicated to the leaderless/leader-following stochastic scaled consensus issue of second-order stochastic multi-agent systems (SMASs) in a noisy environment. Scaled consensus represents that the ratios among agents asymptotically tend to designated constants rather than the common convergence value. To lessen the influence of communication noise, some stochastic approximation protocols with time-varying gain are designed for our underlying system, where the time-varying gain remove the restriction of nonnegative value. Compared with the existing consensus results with communication noise, the major challenge is that the introduction of time-varying gain results in the inapplicability of Lyapunov-based technique. To cope with it, a state decomposition method is utilized, and a series of sufficient necessary conditions are set up for interacting agents with constant velocity and zero velocity if the topology includes a spanning tree. Furthermore, it is conducted that the consensus and bipartite consensus can be seen as two special cases of our work. Finally, the validity of our results is demonstrated by a simulation example.

Validating quality standards in Palestinian emergency departments: An e-Delphi survey approach.
PLoS One
January 2025
Division of Emergency Medicine, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa.
To validate Palestine's previously derived emergency department quality standards (EDQS) using an e-Delphi survey. A two-round e-Delphi survey validated the EDQS, developed in an earlier study through a literature review and consensus-building among Palestinian emergency medicine and healthcare quality experts. The study purposively sampled 53 emergency department and healthcare quality experts with over 5 years of experience.

Context: An inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) in combination with a long-acting β2-agonist (LABA) is a common treatment approach for asthma patients not controlled on ICS alone, but a significant proportion of patients remain uncontrolled on this combination and treatment adherence can also be a challenge. One of the options for adults whose asthma is uncontrolled in an ICS/LABA is the addition of a long-acting muscarinic receptor antagonist (LAMA), an approach commonly referred to as 'triple therapy'. The use of medium-strength ICS/LABA/LAMA is established in treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease but is less well-established in asthma.

The global burden of uncorrected refractive error demands for adoption of different approaches inclined towards scaling effective refractive error coverage. While innovative approaches such as utilization of telemedicine is being adopted by social enterprises in different parts of the world to scale refractive error service delivery, commercial entrepreneurship still dominates the optical industry in Kenya with minimal focus on accessibility and affordability. However, to achieve effective refractive error coverage across the economic pyramid, integration of enterprises inclined towards fulfilling a social mission through innovative approaches such as telemedicine is desirable.

The methodology of machine learning with multi-omics data has been widely adopted in the discriminative analyses of schizophrenia, but most of these studies ignored the cooperative interactions and topological attributes of multi-omics networks. In this study, we constructed three types of brain graphs (BGs), three types of gut graphs (GGs), and nine types of brain-gut combined graphs (BGCGs) for each individual. We proposed a novel methodology of multi-omics graph convolutional network (MO-GCN) with an attention mechanism to construct a classification model by integrating all BGCGs.

In recent decades, converging evidence has reached a consensus that human speech production is carried out by large-scale hierarchical network comprising both language-selective and domain-general systems. However, it remains unclear how these systems interact during speech production and the specific contributions of their component regions. By utilizing a series of meta-analytic approaches based on various language tasks, we dissociated four major systems in this study: domain-general, high-level language, motor-perception, and speech-control systems in this study.
