文摘With the rapid popularization of artificial intelligence technology in the field of higher education,college students are increasingly dependent on AI tools such as ChatGPT,automatic writing assistants,and intelligent translators.Behind the convenience and efficiency,a decline trend in students’core learning abilities such as autonomous learning ability,critical thinking ability,and knowledge construction ability has gradually emerged.This study aims to explore the interactive logical mechanism between college students’reliance on AI tools and the weakening of their learning abilities,and on this basis,propose practical and feasible educational intervention strategies.Research has found that while AI tools lower the learning threshold,they also weaken students’cognitive investment and independent thinking abilities,further intensifying their reliance on technology.In this regard,this paper proposes a three-dimensional intervention path based on guided usage,ability compensation,and value reconstruction to achieve the collaborative improvement of students’technical usage ability and learning ability.This research has certain theoretical value and practical enlightenment significance for solving the structural predicament of higher education in the intelligent era.

文摘BACKGROUND Motoric cognitive risk(MCR)syndrome represents an“ultra-early”stage of dementia prevention,highlighting the need for effective screening tools.AIM To develop and validate a novel tool for MCR identification,comparing its effectiveness with existing methods.METHODS As part of a community study on healthy aging,a cross-sectional study recruited 1189 Chinese participants aged 50 years and older between May 1,2022,and March 15,2023.The cohort was randomly split into training(70%)and testing(30%)datasets.Relevant features were selected for logistic regression(LR)and decision tree(DT)models using the training dataset,and their performance was subsequently assessed using the testing dataset to validate reliability and generalizability.RESULTS The prevalence of MCR was 13.12%among 1189 participants.DT models had the area under the curves(AUCs)of 0.834 and 0.821 for training and testing datasets,respectively,while LR models indicated AUCs of 0.840 and 0.859.Non-inferiority tests confirmed the DT model’s comparable effectiveness to the LR models in predicting MCR.Both models demonstrated good calibration and clinical utility.Seven modifiable risk factors were identified:Age,education level,social engagement,physical activity,nutritional status,depressive symptoms,and purpose in life.Notably,social engagement emerged as a novel factor compared to those previously identified.Both models are integrated into an easy-to-use,interpretable web-based user interface.CONCLUSION The interactive,web-based user interface of both models effectively identifies MCR,with the DT model recommended for its simplicity and interpretability,supporting community nurses and clinicians in triaging MCR.
文摘BACKGROUND Nosocomial fever of unknown origin(nFUO)is a frequent and challenging diagnostic entity,encompassing diverse infectious and non-infectious etiologies.Timely identification is crucial,yet evidence on the diagnostic accuracy of commonly employed sepsis screening tools and biomarkers remains sparse.We hypothesized that these tools and biomarkers measured at fever onset could distinguish infectious from non-infectious causes of nFUO in critically ill adults.AIM To evaluate the diagnostic utility of sepsis tools and biomarkers in identifying infectious causes of nFUO.METHODS This prospective observational study included patients admitted to the Acute Care Emergency Medicine Unit,Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research,Chandigarh,India(July 2023 to December 2024).nFUO was defined by Durack and Street criteria.Diagnostic performance of sepsis screening tools(systemic inflammatory response syndrome,Sequential Organ Failure Assessment,quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment,National Early Warning Score,and Modified Early Warning Score)and biomarkers[procalcitonin(PCT),C-reactive protein(CRP)]at fever onset was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.RESULTS Of 80 cases(mean age 42.9±16.5 years;80% male),42.5% had infectious causes,38.7% non-infectious,and 18.8% remained undiagnosed.Pneumonia(26.2%)and bloodstream infections(11.2%)were the most common infectious etiologies,while central fever and thrombophlebitis(each 7.5%)were predominant among non-infectious causes.Sepsis tools showed poor diagnostic accuracy,with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)values close to 0.5.PCT demonstrated modest performance(AUC=0.61;optimal cut-off:0.85μg/L),while CRP was paradoxically higher in non-infectious cases(AUC=0.45).Overall mortality was 20% and was highest among undiagnosed patients(33.3%).Fever duration and hospitalization length were significantly greater in infectious cases.CONCLUSION Sepsis tools,PCT,and CRP have limited utility in identifying infectious causes of nFUO in critically ill adults and should not solely guide initial decision-making.
文摘Employee selection is a critical process that directly impacts organizational performance,productivity,and strategic success.This comprehensive article explores the multifaceted landscape of contemporary employee selection tools,examining their theoretical foundations,practical applications,psychological underpinnings,and empirical effectiveness.By systematically analyzing various selection methodologies,this research provides insights into the complex decision-making processes that organizations employ to identify,evaluate,and recruit top talent.The article critically evaluates the reliability,validity,advantages,and limitations of each selection tool,offering a nuanced perspective on their implementation and potential organizational impact.
