A Thought on Strengthening Value Education in the Ideological and Political Course to College Students: Taking the “Ideological and Moral Cultivation and Law Basis” Course as an Example
The course of ideological and moral cultivation and law basis is the main channel of college students’ value education. We should give full play to the guide function, practice function and development function of the ideological and moral cultivation and legal basis course in college students’ value education, actively explore the new way of the ideological and moral cultivation and legal basic course in college students’ value education, and improve the effectiveness of college students’ value education

The Influence of Public Opinion on the Growth of Young Talents
The growth of young talents is influenced by the natural environment and the social environment. Public opinion is an important part of the social environment. In recent years, with the development of a variety of public opinion tools, the public opinion becomes more diverse and complex. The public opinion plays a crucial role in the growth of young talents. This paper intends to analyze the influence of the public opinion on the growth of young talents so that to improve the public opinion and promote the growth of young talents
Beyond Worst-case Attacks: Robust RL with Adaptive Defense via Non-dominated Policies
In light of the burgeoning success of reinforcement learning (RL) in diverse
real-world applications, considerable focus has been directed towards ensuring
RL policies are robust to adversarial attacks during test time. Current
approaches largely revolve around solving a minimax problem to prepare for
potential worst-case scenarios. While effective against strong attacks, these
methods often compromise performance in the absence of attacks or the presence
of only weak attacks. To address this, we study policy robustness under the
well-accepted state-adversarial attack model, extending our focus beyond only
worst-case attacks. We first formalize this task at test time as a regret
minimization problem and establish its intrinsic hardness in achieving
sublinear regret when the baseline policy is from a general continuous policy
class, . This finding prompts us to \textit{refine} the baseline policy
class prior to test time, aiming for efficient adaptation within a finite
policy class \Tilde{\Pi}, which can resort to an adversarial bandit
subroutine. In light of the importance of a small, finite \Tilde{\Pi}, we
propose a novel training-time algorithm to iteratively discover
\textit{non-dominated policies}, forming a near-optimal and minimal
\Tilde{\Pi}, thereby ensuring both robustness and test-time efficiency.
Empirical validation on the Mujoco corroborates the superiority of our approach
in terms of natural and robust performance, as well as adaptability to various
attack scenarios.Comment: International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) 2024,

Association of Heart Rate Variability in Taxi Drivers with Marked Changes in Particulate Air Pollution in Beijing in 2008
BACKGROUND: Heart rate variability (HRV), a marker of cardiac autonomic function, has been associated with particulate matter (PM) air pollution, especially in older patients and those with cardiovascular diseases. However, the effect of PM exposure on cardiac autonomic function in young, healthy adults has received less attention. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the relationship between exposure to traffic-related PM with an aerodynamic diameters <= 2.5 mu m (PM(2.5)) and HRV in a highly exposed panel of taxi drivers. METHODS: Continuous measurements of personal exposure to PM(2.5) and ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring were conducted on I I young healthy taxi drivers for a 12-hr work shift during their work time (0900-2100 hr) before, during, and after the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Mixed-effects regression models were used to estimate associations between PM(2.5) exposure and percent changes in 5-min HRV indices after combining data from the three time periods and controlling for potentially confounding variables. RESULTS: Personal exposures of taxi drivers to PM(2.5) changed markedly across the three time periods. The standard deviation of normal-to-normal (SDNN) intervals decreased by 2.2% [95% confidence interval (0), -3.8% to -0.6%] with an interquartile range (IQR; 69.5 mu g/m(3)) increase in the 30-min PM(2.5) moving average, whereas the low-frequency and high-frequency powers decreased by 4.2% (95% CI, -9.0% to 0.8%) and 6.2% (95% CI, -10.7% to -1.5%), respectively, in association with an IQR increase in the 2-hr PM(2.5) moving average. CONCLUSIONS: Marked changes in traffic-related PM(2.5) exposure were associated with altered cardiac autonomic function in young healthy adults.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000273292800029&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Environmental SciencesPublic, Environmental & Occupational HealthToxicologySCI(E)PubMed65ARTICLE187-9111
Airborne Bacterial Communities in Three East Asian Cities of China, South Korea, and Japan
The global diversity of airborne bacteria has not yet been studied, despite its importance in human health and climate change. Here, we focused on the diversity of airborne bacteria and their correlations with meteorological/environmental conditions in China, South Korea, and Japan. Beijing (China) had more diverse airborne bacteria, followed by Seoul (South Korea) and Nagasaki (Japan), and seasonal variations were observed. Beijing and Seoul had more diverse airborne bacteria during the winter, whereas Nagasaki showed greater diversity during the summer. According to principal component analysis and Bray-Curtis similarity, higher similarity was observed between Beijing and Seoul than between Seoul and Nagasaki during all seasons except summer. Among meteorological/environmental variables, temperature and humidity were highly correlated with the diversity of airborne bacteria on the measurement day, whereas wind speeds and the frequency of northwest winds were highly correlated for 2–3-day moving averages. Thus, proximity and resuspension could enhance bacterial diversity in East Asian cities

Positive Relationship between Total Antioxidant Status and Chemokines Observed in Adults
Objective. Human evidence is limited regarding the interaction between oxidative stress biomarkers and chemokines, especially in a population of adults without overt clinical disease. The current study aims to examine the possible relationships of antioxidant and lipid peroxidation markers with several chemokines in adults. Methods. We assessed cross-sectional associations of total antioxidant status (TAS) and two lipid peroxidation markers malondialdehyde (MDA) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) with a suite of serum chemokines, including CXCL-1 (GRO-α), CXCL-8 (IL-8), CXCL-10 (IP-10), CCL-2 (MCP-1), CCL-5 (RANTES), CCL-8 (MCP-2), CCL-11 (Eotaxin-1), and CCL-17 (TARC), among 104 Chinese adults without serious preexisting clinical conditions in Beijing before 2008 Olympics. Results. TAS showed significantly positive correlations with MCP-1 (r=0.15751, P=0.0014), MCP-2 (r=0.3721, P=0.0001), Eotaxin-1 (r=0.39598, P<0.0001), and TARC (r=0.27149, P=0.0053). The positive correlations remained unchanged after controlling for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, and alcohol drinking status. No associations were found between any of the chemokines measured in this study and MDA or TBARS. Similar patterns were observed when the analyses were limited to nonsmokers. Conclusion. Total antioxidant status is positively associated with several chemokines in this adult population
