Cognitive and Spontaneous Brain Activity in Nonaddictive Smartphone Users Among Older Adults in China: Cross-Sectional Study by Zhenyu Wan, Xucong Qin, Qirong Wan, Baohua Xu, Hong Lin, Fangcheng Ouyang, Gaohua Wang

“… Abstract BackgroundThe effects of smartphone use on mental health and brain activity in adolescents have received much attention; however, the effects on older adults have received little attention. As more and more older adults begin to use smartphones, exploring the effects of nonaddictive smartphone use on mental health, cognitive function, and brain activity in older adults is imperative. …”

The role of epistemic trust and epistemic disruption in vaccine hesitancy, conspiracy thinking and the capacity to identify fake news. by Michal Tanzer, Chloe Campbell, Rob Saunders, Thomas Booker, Patrick Luyten, Peter Fonagy

“…The work described here sought to investigate how the vulnerability engendered by disruptions in epistemic trust may not only impact psychological resilience and interpersonal processes but also aspects of more general social functioning. We undertook two studies to examine the role of epistemic trust in determining capacity to recognise fake/real news, and susceptibility to conspiracy thinking-both in general and in relation to COVID-19. …”

Improved Hermite–Hadamard Inequality Bounds for Riemann–Liouville Fractional Integrals via Jensen’s Inequality by Muhammad Aamir Ali, Wei Liu, Shigeru Furuichi, Michal Fečkan

“…This paper derives the sharp bounds for Hermite–Hadamard inequalities in the context of Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals. A generalization of Jensen’s inequality called the Jensen–Mercer inequality is used for general points to find the new and refined bounds of fractional Hermite–Hadamard inequalities. …”

A data-driven group retrosynthesis planning model inspired by neurosymbolic programming by Xuefeng Zhang, Haowei Lin, Muhan Zhang, Yuan Zhou, Jianzhu Ma

“…Retrosynthetic planning, a part of computer-assisted synthesis planning, addresses this challenge by recursively decomposing molecules using symbolic rules and machine-trained scoring functions. However, current methods often treat each molecule independently, missing the opportunity to utilize shared synthesis patterns and repeat pathways, which may contribute from known synthesis routes to newly emerging, similar molecules, a notable challenge with AI-generated small molecules. …”
