Here's What You Need to Know About the Hantavirus While the outbreak aboard a cruise ship in the Atlantic is concerning, the virus isn't easily transmitted through casual contact. Cruises are so closely associated with illness that the highly contagious norovirus is commonly called the "cruise ship virus." But a ship headed for Spain's Canary Islands has attracted global attention due to a rare outbreak of hantavirus that's left three dead. While alarming, health officials and infectious disease experts say the risk to the general public right now is low because hantavirus is less contagious than other respiratory diseases like the coronavirus responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic . "This is not Covid, this is not influenza. It spreads very, very differently," Maria Van Kerkhove, director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention at the World Health Organization, said at a press conference on Thursday.

For all authors... (a) Do the main claims made in the abstract and introduction accurately reflect the paper's contributions and scope? While MARL algorithms may be implemented for potentially harmful applications, we do not believe this work uniquely enables such applications. If you ran experiments... (a) Did you include the code, data, and instructions needed to reproduce the main experimental results (either in the supplemental material or as a URL)? [Yes] In the supplemental material (b) Did you specify all the training details (e.g., data splits, hyperparameters, how they were chosen)? If you used crowdsourcing or conducted research with human subjects... (a) Did you include the full text of instructions given to participants and screenshots, if applicable? [N/A] (b) Did you describe any potential participant risks, with links to Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals, if applicable? [N/A] (c) Did you include the estimated hourly wage paid to participants and the total amount spent on participant compensation? Our allocation proposal network and Q network are illustrated in Figures 7 and 8. Low-level action utility functions and mixing networks are similar to those described in Iqbal et al. [10] with the only 13 difference being a replacement of the RNN layers with standard fully connected layers.

In the natural world, life has found innumerable ways to survive and often thrive. Between and even within species, each individual is in some manner unique, and this diversity lends adaptability and robustness to life. In this work, we aim to learn a space of diverse and high-reward policies in a given environment. To this end, we introduce a generative model of policies for reinforcement learning, which maps a low-dimensional latent space to an agent policy space. Our method enables learning an entire population of agent policies, without requiring the use of separate policy parameters. Just as real world populations can adapt and evolve via natural selection, our method is able to adapt to changes in our environment solely by selecting for policies in latent space. We test our generative model's capabilities in a variety of environments, including an open-ended grid-world and a two-player soccer environment.

A longitudinal study found that loneliness is closely linked to lapses in immediate and delayed recall. Neuroscientists know that there is a link between loneliness and cognitive decline in older adults, although it is still difficult to understand the exact magnitude of the link. A new longitudinal study provides evidence that a proportion of people who feel lonely end up having more memory impairment, though this doesn't necessarily mean that their brains age faster. The report, published in Aging & Mental Health, shows that older adults with higher levels of loneliness scored lower on tests of immediate and delayed recall. Even so, the rate at which their memory declined over six years was virtually identical to those who were not lonely.

Microsoft's Copilot Health can use AI to turn your fitness data and medical records'into a coherent story' The aim is to help users have the right context and questions to take to their doctor. Microsoft has unveiled Copilot Health, an AI-powered tool it claims can help make sense of your medical records, health history and fitness data from wearables, should you grant it access to that information. The company said it will be in a separate, secure space in the Copilot app and that the idea is to help provide you with more context and insights so you can ask your doctor the right questions when you see them. Copilot Health is designed to help you better understand your medical information as a whole, Microsoft says. It is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent diseases or other conditions and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, the company pointed out in a blog post.

Researchers have discovered that romance and sexual intimacy don't decline with age, and finding a'physical connection' remains important for older adults trying to date. The study, carried out by scientists at the University of New Hampshire, challenges common assumptions about ageing and intimacy.
