Compassionate Care with Autonomous AI Humanoid Robots in Future Healthcare Delivery: A Multisensory Simulation of Next-Generation Models by Joannes Paulus Tolentino Hernandez

“…Multisensory simulations (visual and audio) demonstrate the significance of “dynamic communication”, (relational) “entanglement”, and (healthcare system and robot’s function) “superpositioning” in HRIs. Quantum and neuromorphic computing may enable humanoid robots to empathetically respond to human emotions, based on Jean Watson’s ten caritas processes for creating transpersonal states. …”

The impact of digital payments on the financial vulnerability of rural households: empirical evidence from China by Fan Xu, Lezhu Zhang

“…Further heterogeneity analyses reveal that digital payment plays a more substantial role in mitigating the financial vulnerability of rural households in the western region, which have low financial assets and high health risks, compared to those in the central and eastern regions, which have high financial assets and low health risks.DiscussionTherefore, this paper suggests that the government should continue to promote the in-depth integration of digital technology and financial services, strengthen the construction of rural digital infrastructure in areas lagging behind in traditional finance, enhance the comprehensive service function of digital payments, and enrich the coping strategies of farmers to mitigate financial vulnerability, while remaining vigilant about the potential consequences of digital payment.…”

Perineuronal Nets in Syrian Hamsters: Anatomical Localization, Sex Differences, Diurnal Variation, and Response to Social Stress by Emma K. Shaughnessy, Benjamin W. Horne, Kim L. Huhman

“…Finally, we also demonstrated that there are sex differences in PNN expression in the somatosensory cortex and the basolateral amygdala in hamsters, suggesting that sex as a biological variable should be considered in studies of PNN function. Conclusion Together, the data from the current study suggest that a comparative approach will be necessary to fully elucidate the functional role of PNNs and, further, that Syrian hamsters are a valuable model in this endeavor.…”
