Maternal effects on the advertisement signals and mate preferences of adult offspring in Enchenopa treehoppers (Hemiptera: Membracidae)

We tested for maternal effects on the mating signals and mate preferences of adult offspring in a plant-feeding insect that communicates via plant-borne vibrational signals. We experimentally manipulated an aspect of the social environment experienced by egg-laying mothers: aggregation density. We detected a strong maternal effect in a male signal trait, with sons of mothers that experienced low aggregation density signaling more. We also detected a weak maternal effect on female mate preferences, with daughters of mothers that experienced low aggregation density being less selective. We discuss the evolutionary consequences of these maternal effects in terms of the signal-preference relationship; the maintenance of variation under selection; whether they may be beneficial for offspring; and potential mechanisms that may be involved in their expression.

Evaluation Tools for Human-AI Interactions Involving Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairments

<h1>Abstract</h1> As artificial intelligence (AI) systems have already proven useful in human lives generally, there is an opportunity for specialized human-AI interaction (HAI) systems to support and provide care for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, the integration of this technology in this population must be thoughtfully designed to accommodate specific needs and limitations. This includes careful measurement of both humans and systems. We developed an evolving dataset categorizing relevant measurement tools into five groups: cognitive ability, demographics & personality, activity level, state of mind, and perceptions of the AI system. Each instance of the tool being used in the literature cataloged in the dataset is qualified in terms of how likely we would recommend using it in the domain of HAI for older adults with MCI based on contextual factors and internal reliability measures. This dataset will serve as a valuable resource for future research, aiding in the identification of promising areas and trends in AI systems for older adults with MCI as well as providing essential tools for future studies. <h1>Methodology</h1> This dataset was not derived through a typical literature review or survey process, but rather followed a more flexible research method. To collect resources for the dataset, we searched numerous databases to identify studies and review types of publications in journals and conferences between the dates of 2000 to 2022. For the papers that contained extensive reviews of literature or cited original tools, we would further look into the citations of those papers, taking us beyond our limited date range. The tools used were categorized into five groups to broadly distinguish their usage in a study, measuring: <ol> <li>Cognitive ability</li> <li>Demographics, personality, and experiences</li> <li>Activity level</li> <li>State of mind</li> <li>Perceptions of the AI system</li> </ol> Subsequently, we conducted an examination of their Cronbach’s 𝛼 scores to assess internal reliability. We created tiers based on how likely we would be to recommend using each tool in the domain of human-AI (HAI) with older adults with MCI, as follows: <ul> <li>Tier 1 included tools with Cronbach’s 𝛼 ≥ 0.7 when used with older adults with MCI in experimental settings interacting with AI</li> <li>Tier 2 included tools with Cronbach’s 𝛼 ≥ 0.7 when used with older adults, with or without MCI, in experimental settings with or without AI interaction</li> <li>Tier * included tools that satisfy the criteria for Tier 1, but, to the best of our knowledge, lack reported Cronbach’s 𝛼 scores</li> <li>Tier 3 included all remaining tools that do not meet the criteria for Tier 1, 2, or *</li> </ul> It should be emphasized that a tool may be found in one or more tiers because multiple studies used the same tool yet resulted in varying reliability scores, contexts, etc. <h1>Contribute</h1> Readers are encouraged to reach out to Adam Norton (adam[underscore]norton[at]uml.edu) to recommend additional tools and entries to the dataset. <h1>Publication</h1> This dataset is published as a short contribution to the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) 2024 conference.

The prevalence and correlates of depression and anxiety symptoms among older adults in Shenzhen, China

Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms among older adults in an urban district in China, as well as their associated factors. Participants: A total of 5,372 community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years or older were initially recruited. Ultimately, 5,331 participants met the inclusion criteria and were included in this study. Methods: Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, along with assessments including the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Scale-7, UCLA Loneliness Simplification Scale, Insomnia Severity Index Scale, Community Dementia Brief Screening Scale, and the 8-item Dementia Screening Questionnaire. Statistical analyses included the Shapiro‒Wilk test, independent t-test, Wilcoxon rank test, c2 test, and univariate and multivariate linear regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms among older adults in Shenzhen communities was 10.4% and 11.3%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, age (B=-0.01, P<0.05), relatively poor health status in the past year (B=1.00, P<0.01), poor health status in the past year (B=2.40, P<0.01), ISI score (B=0.21, P<0.01), AD8 score (B=0.22, P<0.01), ULS score (B=0.24, P<0.01) were significantly associated with the severity of depression symptom, Compared to their respective reference categories, relatively poor health status in the past year (B=0.50, P<0.01), poor health status in the past year (B=1.32, P<0.01), ISI score (B=0.23, P<0.01), sleep duration (B=0.05, P<0.01), AD8 score (B=0.21, P<0.01), CSID score (B=0.13, P<0.01), ULS score (B=0.22, P<0.01) were significantly associated with the severity of anxiety symptom. Conclusions: We observed a high prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms among older adults in this study. The existing welfare system and infrastructure should remain and targeted mental health programs addressing the identified risk factors should be proposed.
