Individuals communicate to acquire relevant knowledge about an epidemic, which influences their decisions to adopt protective measures.However, whether to disseminate specific information is also a behavioral decision. In light of this understanding, we develop a coupled information–vaccination–epidemic model to depict these co-evolutionary dynamics in a three-layer network. Negative information dissemination and vaccination are treated as separate decision-making processes. We then examine the combined effects of herd and risk motives on information dissemination and vaccination decisions through the lens of game theory. The microscopic Markov chain approach(MMCA) is used to describe the dynamic process and to derive the epidemic threshold. Simulation results indicate that increasing the cost of negative information dissemination and providing timely clarification can effectively control the epidemic. Furthermore, a phenomenon of diminishing marginal utility is observed as the cost of dissemination increases, suggesting that authorities do not need to overinvest in suppressing negative information. Conversely, reducing the cost of vaccination and increasing vaccine efficacy emerge as more effective strategies for outbreak control. In addition, we find that the scale of the epidemic is greater when the herd motive dominates behavioral decision-making. In conclusion, this study provides a new perspective for understanding the complexity of epidemic spreading by starting with the construction of different behavioral decisions.展开更多

文摘Information plays a crucial role in guiding behavioral decisions during public health emergencies. Individuals communicate to acquire relevant knowledge about an epidemic, which influences their decisions to adopt protective measures.However, whether to disseminate specific information is also a behavioral decision. In light of this understanding, we develop a coupled information–vaccination–epidemic model to depict these co-evolutionary dynamics in a three-layer network. Negative information dissemination and vaccination are treated as separate decision-making processes. We then examine the combined effects of herd and risk motives on information dissemination and vaccination decisions through the lens of game theory. The microscopic Markov chain approach(MMCA) is used to describe the dynamic process and to derive the epidemic threshold. Simulation results indicate that increasing the cost of negative information dissemination and providing timely clarification can effectively control the epidemic. Furthermore, a phenomenon of diminishing marginal utility is observed as the cost of dissemination increases, suggesting that authorities do not need to overinvest in suppressing negative information. Conversely, reducing the cost of vaccination and increasing vaccine efficacy emerge as more effective strategies for outbreak control. In addition, we find that the scale of the epidemic is greater when the herd motive dominates behavioral decision-making. In conclusion, this study provides a new perspective for understanding the complexity of epidemic spreading by starting with the construction of different behavioral decisions.

文摘The aim of this article is to present my interpretation of the holistic-phenomenological worldview in practice.This study demonstrates how this approach,as well as the planning process that I followed(a process fundamentally different from conventional ones)was implemented in a residential neighborhood I designed and built in the social,economic,and physical structure of the collective known in Israel as a‘kibbutz’.The intention is to raise a broad public discussion and pose a challenge to 21st-century architecture regarding how to intervene in a moral and human way within an existing environment,urban or natural,which must be respected and preserved,when integrating within it a new contemporary architecture.
文摘Overview of root system architecture.The plant root system is a highly dynamic and multifunctional organ system composed of primary roots,lateral roots,adventitious roots,and root hairs.Based on topological morphology,root systems can be classified as taproot systems or fibrous root systems.Root system architecture(RSA)refers to the spatial distribution and extension patterns of roots within soil,encompassing characteristics such as root length,branching angle,density,and spatial arrangement.RSA not only determines the plant’s capacity to acquire water and nutrients but also influences other root functions,playing a decisive role in overall plant health.

文摘This paper introduces a computational cognitive architecture that serves as a comprehensive computational theory of the human mind,from cognitive science and computational psychology.The cognitive architecture(named Clarion)has been justified by,and validated against,psychological data,findings,and theoretical constructs.One important theoretical background for it is the dual-process theories,which led to its overall two-level structuring in a hybrid neuro-symbolic way.Furthermore,given the recent advances in AI and computing technology,LLMs are being incorporated into the model to better capture human intuition and instinct(and implicit processes in general),in order to further enhance Clarion.Integrating Clarion and LLMs can also help to develop AI systems that are more capable,more reliable,and more human-like.Overall,the paper advocates a multidisciplinary approach towards developing better models for cognitive science and for AI.

文摘Focusing on the digital evaluation of classroom teaching quality in private colleges and universities,an indicator model of“teaching subject-teaching object-teaching effect”for the landscape architecture major of Chongqing College of Humanities,Science&Technology was constructed.By using methods such as Delphi,AHP,Likert and questionnaire survey,the teaching quality of 8 courses of landscape architecture major was evaluated.The results show that the average score of the indicators is 2.8776,indicating that the overall improvement space for the teaching quality of the sample professional courses is relatively large,and the key shortcomings are students’learning interest and initiative,the application and transformation of professional knowledge,as well as the cultivation of innovation and practical ability.The research verified the scientific nature and discrimination of the model,and put forward suggestions for the precise improvement of classroom atmosphere,assignment design and ability cultivation driven by data,thereby providing a replicable model for the digital evaluation and teaching quality improvement of engineering majors in private colleges and universities.
文摘A universal set of mathematical qualities combine complexity with geometry to define“living geometry”.Those properties apply equally to organisms as to inanimate matter.A special type of geometry that merges approximate fractal structure with nested symmetries on all scales describes most biological and natural forms.Christopher Alexander discovered 15 geometrical properties in the context of architecture adapted to human feelings,and those provide a practical toolkit for creating living geometry in artifacts,buildings,and urban spaces.AI can be used to both validate the importance of living geometry for human health,and to evaluate architectural designs before and after they are built.Human beings evolved their neurological system to interpret living geometry defined by the ancestral natural environment,and the same interpretative reference is used to navigate today’s built environment.This knowledge helps to understand how geometry affects cognition,emotions,and health.Asking large-language models about the best learning environments for creative thought produces a list of suggestions for renovating lecture and studio spaces in architecture schools.A severe disconnect between the contemporary urban experience and living geometry has negative effects on human health,intelligence,and the learning process.AI helps to completely rethink design aesthetics and design-making strategies.
文摘The aim of this article is to present a unique interpretation of the holistic worldview,both in theory and in practice.It explores how this approach,along with a planning process fundamentally different from conventional methods,was implemented in the design and construction of the Music Center and Library in the city of Tel Aviv.This process forms a coherent representation of a complete worldview:a humanistic,holistic worldview developed and adopted through more than five decades of architectural practice across all scales of design.In this approach,a building is not regarded as a collection of isolated design elements,but as one hierarchical language,in which the building,its interior,and its ornamented details down to the handle of the door is one continuous system.Within this system,the building,its interior spaces,and even the smallest ornamental details,down to the door handles,are conceived as parts of a single,continuous whole.This worldview aligns with contemporary scientific discourse in fields such as cosmology,neurobiology,psychology,complexity theory,and Buddhist philosophy,disciplines with which this body of work is closely associated.
