Risk of developing drug abuse in administration of a new hexaazaisowurtzitane derivative-based analgesic (experimental study) by S. G. Krylova, T. N. Pove’teva, K. A. Lopatina, Yu. V. Nesterova, E. P. Zueva, O. G. Afanas’eva, P. V. Kulpin, E. A. Kiseleva, N. I. Suslov, D. A. Kulagina, S. V. Sysolyatin, V. V. Zhdanov

“…Previous in vivo and in silico studies (docking, molecular modeling, molecular dynamics simulation) on the multi-target mechanism of thiowurtzine explain the absence of its morphine-like effect by the fact that the major targets of the analgesic are TRPA1 receptors and voltage-gated Ca 2+ channels. With a high degree of probability, the conclusions made herein predict no drug abuse development when thiowurtzine is used in the clinical setting. …”

The Ethical Significance of Brain-Computer Interfaces as Enablers of Communication by Toma Gruica

“…Intracortical BCIs, by contrast, can restore communicative capacity by directly decoding neural signals associated with intended speech or movement.[5] One landmark study documented an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patient who, after entering CLIS, learned to use an implanted BCI speller to construct sentences at a rate of approximately one character per minute. The patient’s communications ranged from the mundane, such as requesting music, to expressions of existential significance involving care preferences.[6] Importantly, when researchers were asked how they would respond if the patient spelled “unplug my ventilator,” they emphatically stated that BCI output would not determine decisions regarding life support withdrawal. …”

Time-Series Forecasting Method Based on Hierarchical Spatio-Temporal Attention Mechanism by Zhiguo Xiao, Junli Liu, Xinyao Cao, Ke Wang, Dongni Li, Qian Liu

“…Breaking through traditional structural designs, the model employs a Squeeze-and-Excitation Network (SENet) to reconstruct the convolutional layers of the Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN), strengthening the feature expression of key time steps through dynamic channel weight allocation to address the redundancy issue of traditional causal convolutions in local pattern capture. A Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU) variant based on a global attention mechanism is designed, leveraging the collaboration between gating units and attention weights to mine cross-period long-distance dependencies and effectively alleviate the gradient disappearance problem of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN-like) models in multi-scale time-series analysis. …”
