Dynamic cross-lagged effects between healthy lifestyles and multimorbidity among middle-aged and older adults in China by Xuan Zhu, He Ma, Hangjing Zhang, Yuting Zhang, Shangfeng Tang, Juyang Xiong

“…Abstract Background While healthy lifestyles mitigate the risk of multimorbidity (≥ 2 chronic diseases), their temporal dynamics in aging populations, particularly in low- and middle-income countries undergoing rapid demographic structure transition, remain understudied. Methods Using longitudinal data (2014–2020) from 6,852 Chinese adults (aged ≥ 45 years) in the China Family Panel Studies, we used the subgroup analysis to investigate high risk groups in the chronic diseases status, employed alluvial diagrams to visualize diseases status transition and random intercept cross-lagged panel model to quantify the lagged effect between healthy lifestyles (sleep, physical exercise, smoking, drinking) and chronic diseases status (without diseases, single, multimorbidity). …”

Fine-Tuning Retrieval-Augmented Generation with an Auto-Regressive Language Model for Sentiment Analysis in Financial Reviews by Miehleketo Mathebula, Abiodun Modupe, Vukosi Marivate

“…Additionally, the pre-training of a larger language model (PTLM) struggles to capture bidirectional contextual knowledge learnt through word dependency because the sentence-level representation fails to take broad features into account. We develop a novel structure called language feature extraction and adaptation for reviews (LFEAR), an advanced natural language model that amalgamates retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with a conversation format for an auto-regressive fine-tuning model (ARFT). …”
