文摘The Double Take column looks at a single topic from an African and Chinese perspective.This month,we discuss how to understand the growing emphasis on emotional returns among young people.Emotional value has emerged as a central force shaping youth decision-making across work,consumption,relationships and lifestyle choices.Unlike traditional economic rationality that prioritises income and material security,emotional value focuses on how choices make individuals feel and how they align with personal meaning.This shift is particularly evident in rapidly transforming societies such as China and Ghana,where economic restructuring,globalisation and social change have reshaped pathways to adulthood.
文摘AIM:To evaluate the predictive value of pan-immuneinflammation value(PIV)in the diagnosis of proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)and its association with the stage of PDR.METHODS:This observational case-control study included participants who underwent routine complete blood count testing.Inflammation-related indices,including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio,systemic immune-inflammation index(SII),and PIV,were derived and analyzed.Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)analysis was applied to assess the diagnostic performance of these indices in distinguishing patients with PDR,with sensitivity,specificity,area under ROC,and optimal threshold values calculated.In addition,binary logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between inflammatory indices and PDR stage.RESULTS:This study included 205 patients:60 with diabetes without retinopathy(mean age:61.81±10.76y),80 with PDR(mean age:61.63±10.03y)and 65 healthy controls(mean age:59.52±5.88y).The PDR group had significantly higher white blood cell(WBC,P<0.001),monocyte(MONO,P=0.009)and neutrophil(NEU)counts(P<0.001).SII and PIV had the highest sensitivity and area under ROC for predicting patients with PDR(0.822,0.846,respectively).The optimal cut-off values for discriminating patients with PDR were determined to be>527.12 and>299.08 for SII and PIV,respectively.The logistic regression analysis demonstrated that a decrease in lymphocyte(LYM)count and an increase in platelet count(PLT),glycated haemoglobin(HbA1c),SII,and PIV were all significantly associated with the development of high-risk PDR(all P<0.05).PIV was more stable than independent MONO,LYM,PLT and NEU levels in predicting both the diagnosis and stage of PDR.The optimal cut-off value for PIV to discriminate patients with high-risk PDR was found to be>345.87 area under ROC=0.871,with sensitivity of 0.827 and specificity of 0.812.CONCLUSION:PIV is a reliable,valuable,and inexpensive blood index that can be used for early detection and staging of PDR.PIV may therefore be essential to be used for the follow-up of diabetic patients.

文摘With the rapid development of digital culture,a large number of cultural texts are presented in the form of digital and network.These texts have significant characteristics such as sparsity,real-time and non-standard expression,which bring serious challenges to traditional classification methods.In order to cope with the above problems,this paper proposes a new ASSC(ALBERT,SVD,Self-Attention and Cross-Entropy)-TextRCNN digital cultural text classification model.Based on the framework of TextRCNN,the Albert pre-training language model is introduced to improve the depth and accuracy of semantic embedding.Combined with the dual attention mechanism,the model’s ability to capture and model potential key information in short texts is strengthened.The Singular Value Decomposition(SVD)was used to replace the traditional Max pooling operation,which effectively reduced the feature loss rate and retained more key semantic information.The cross-entropy loss function was used to optimize the prediction results,making the model more robust in class distribution learning.The experimental results indicate that,in the digital cultural text classification task,as compared to the baseline model,the proposed ASSC-TextRCNN method achieves an 11.85%relative improvement in accuracy and an 11.97%relative increase in the F1 score.Meanwhile,the relative error rate decreases by 53.18%.This achievement not only validates the effectiveness and advanced nature of the proposed approach but also offers a novel technical route and methodological underpinnings for the intelligent analysis and dissemination of digital cultural texts.It holds great significance for promoting the in-depth exploration and value realization of digital culture.

文摘Amphibious vehicles are more prone to attitude instability compared to ships,making it crucial to develop effective methods for monitoring instability risks.However,large inclination events,which can lead to instability,occur frequently in both experimental and operational data.This infrequency causes events to be overlooked by existing prediction models,which lack the precision to accurately predict inclination attitudes in amphibious vehicles.To address this gap in predicting attitudes near extreme inclination points,this study introduces a novel loss function,termed generalized extreme value loss.Subsequently,a deep learning model for improved waterborne attitude prediction,termed iInformer,was developed using a Transformer-based approach.During the embedding phase,a text prototype is created based on the vehicle’s operation log data is constructed to help the model better understand the vehicle’s operating environment.Data segmentation techniques are used to highlight local data variation features.Furthermore,to mitigate issues related to poor convergence and slow training speeds caused by the extreme value loss function,a teacher forcing mechanism is integrated into the model,enhancing its convergence capabilities.Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method,demonstrating its ability to handle data imbalance challenges.Specifically,the model achieves over a 60%improvement in root mean square error under extreme value conditions,with significant improvements observed across additional metrics.

文摘At present,there is currently a lack of unified standard methods for the determination of antimony content in groundwater in China.The precision and trueness of related detection technologies have not yet been systematically and quantitatively evaluated,which limits the effective implementation of environmental monitoring.In response to this key technical gap,this study aimed to establish a standardized method for determining antimony in groundwater using Hydride Generation–Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry(HG-AFS).Ten laboratories participated in inter-laboratory collaborative tests,and the statistical analysis of the test data was carried out in strict accordance with the technical specifications of GB/T 6379.2—2004 and GB/T 6379.4—2006.The consistency and outliers of the data were tested by Mandel's h and k statistics,the Grubbs test and the Cochran test,and the outliers were removed to optimize the data,thereby significantly improving the reliability and accuracy.Based on the optimized data,parameters such as the repeatability limit(r),reproducibility limit(R),and method bias value(δ)were determined,and the trueness of the method was statistically evaluated.At the same time,precision-function relationships were established,and all results met the requirements.The results show that the lower the antimony content,the lower the repeatability limit(r)and reproducibility limit(R),indicating that the measurement error mainly originates from the detection limit of the method and instrument sensitivity.Therefore,improving the instrument sensitivity and reducing the detection limit are the keys to controlling the analytical error and improving precision.This study provides reliable data support and a solid technical foundation for the establishment and evaluation of standardized methods for the determination of antimony content in groundwater.

文摘The cemented tailings backfill(CTB)with initial defects is more prone to destabilization damage under the influence of various unfavorable factors during the mining process.In order to investigate its influence on the stability of underground mining engineering,this paper simulates the generation of different degrees of initial defects inside the CTB by adding different contents of air-entraining agent(AEA),investigates the acoustic emission RA/AF eigenvalues of CTB with different contents of AEA under uniaxial compression,and adopts various denoising algorithms(e.g.,moving average smoothing,median filtering,and outlier detection)to improve the accuracy of the data.The variance and autocorrelation coefficients of RA/AF parameters were analyzed in conjunction with the critical slowing down(CSD)theory.The results show that the acoustic emission RA/AF values can be used to characterize the progressive damage evolution of CTB.The denoising algorithm processed the AE signals to reduce the effects of extraneous noise and anomalous spikes.Changes in the variance curves provide clear precursor information,while abrupt changes in the autocorrelation coefficient can be used as an auxiliary localization warning signal.The phenomenon of dramatic increase in the variance and autocorrelation coefficient curves during the compression-tightening stage,which is influenced by the initial defects,can lead to false warnings.As the initial defects of the CTB increase,its instability precursor time and instability time are prolonged,the peak stress decreases,and the time difference between the CTB and the instability damage is smaller.The results provide a new method for real-time monitoring and early warning of CTB instability damage.

文摘In the complex architecture of global value-chain(GVC)trade,firms’technological content increasingly reflects external knowledge flows.This study examines how inter-regional technological complementarity shapes firms’GVC advancement,measured by the domestic value-added rate(DVAR)in exports.Using integrated Chinese microdata(2000-2014),we find this complementarity significantly boosts export DVAR,explaining about one-quarter of its observed growth.Two mechanisms drive this effect:increased use of domestic intermediates and gains in firm productivity.The benefits are especially large for firms with lower human capital and for those in accessible,innovation-peripheral regions,helping narrow productivity gaps across firms and space.Affected firms also exhibit broader export scopes,higher product quality,more diversified destinations,and greater markups-firm-level evidence of GVC upgrading.These findings highlight how external technological linkages drive upgrading and underscore the importance of fostering inter-regional synergies for balanced development.
文摘Ming-style furniture represents the pinnacle of Chinese traditional furniture,with the four-head official’s cap chair standing out as a representative category due to its classic form and cultural connotations.This paper takes a specific rosewood four-head official’s cap chair inscribed by Wang Shixiang as the research subject,employing a tripartite approach of form analysis,material examination,and inscription interpretation.The chair strictly adheres to the classic form of Ming-style four-head official’s cap chairs,embodying the Ming Dynasty design philosophy of“the unity of function and aesthetics”.The scarcity and unique grain pattern of the golden-flecked rosewood(Zitan)endow it with the status of“gold among woods”.Wang Shixiang’s inscription binds the furniture to the cultural essence of“the charm of the Ming Dynasty”,transforming it into“heritable cultural heritage”.This paper provides a new perspective for the case study of Ming-style furniture and offers theoretical reference for the contemporary inheritance of traditional craftsmanship.

文摘This study was aimed to prepare landslide susceptibility maps for the Pithoragarh district in Uttarakhand,India,using advanced ensemble models that combined Radial Basis Function Networks(RBFN)with three ensemble learning techniques:DAGGING(DG),MULTIBOOST(MB),and ADABOOST(AB).This combination resulted in three distinct ensemble models:DG-RBFN,MB-RBFN,and AB-RBFN.Additionally,a traditional weighted method,Information Value(IV),and a benchmark machine learning(ML)model,Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network(MLP),were employed for comparison and validation.The models were developed using ten landslide conditioning factors,which included slope,aspect,elevation,curvature,land cover,geomorphology,overburden depth,lithology,distance to rivers and distance to roads.These factors were instrumental in predicting the output variable,which was the probability of landslide occurrence.Statistical analysis of the models’performance indicated that the DG-RBFN model,with an Area Under ROC Curve(AUC)of 0.931,outperformed the other models.The AB-RBFN model achieved an AUC of 0.929,the MB-RBFN model had an AUC of 0.913,and the MLP model recorded an AUC of 0.926.These results suggest that the advanced ensemble ML model DG-RBFN was more accurate than traditional statistical model,single MLP model,and other ensemble models in preparing trustworthy landslide susceptibility maps,thereby enhancing land use planning and decision-making.

文摘The rapid population and land urbanization not only promoted economic development but also affected the ecosystem service value(ESV).In the context of new-type urbanization and green development,it’s essential to investigate the impacts of urbanization on ESV in China.However,a comprehensive and dynamic framework to reveal the relationship between ESV and urbanization processes is lacking.This study adopted multi-source datasets to portray China’s urbanization process by integrating population,land,and economic urbanization,eval-uated the ESV changes of 10 categories by gross ecosystem product(GEP)methods,and explored ESV changes within different urbanization scales and speeds.The results showed rapid urbanization in the population,land,and economic dimensions in China,with a faster process of economic urbanization.The ESV also exhibited an increasing trend,with higher levels in the southeastern coastal regions and lower levels in the northwestern regions.Urbanization had positive impacts on ESV across various research units,but the ESV exhibited heteroge-neous changes across different urbanization scales,speeds,and their interactive effects.The response of ESV to dynamic urbanization processes was influenced by socio-economic,ecological,and policy factors;it is essential to combine targeted measures with general ecological product value realization methods in each unit to maximize social-economic-ecological benefits.
