Abstract	Background: Creativity is an essential cognitive ability that plays a crucial role in advanced thinking. While previous research has demonstrated the impact of insomnia on cognitive function, its effects on creativity in Chinese adolescents remain unclear. This study explored the relationship between insomnia (specifically, daytime and nighttime disturbances) and creativity in adolescents. Additionally, it examined the potential mediating effect of the need for cognition on this relationship. Methods: Questionnaires were administered to 302 adolescents to measure their creativity, need for cognition, and insomnia levels using the Williams Creative Tendencies Scale, Need for Cognition Scale, and Bergen Insomnia Scale, respectively. Regression analysis was conducted to examine the direct impact of insomnia on creativity. Furthermore, a mediation model was constructed to investigate the role of the need for cognition in mediating the relationship between insomnia and creativity. Results: The findings of the present study indicated that insomnia had a direct impact on the creativity of adolescents, demonstrating a time-of-day effect. Daytime disturbances were found to have a positive correlation with overall creativity and imagination, whereas no significant direct effect was found between nighttime disturbances and creativity. Further analysis revealed that insomnia, specifically daytime disturbances, might influence creativity by affecting the individual's need for cognition. However, no similar indirect effects were observed for the relationship between nighttime disturbances and creativity. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that adolescents might experience improved creativity as a result of daytime disruptions, and the level of need for cognition could play a crucial role in understanding the link between insomnia and creativity in adolescents.

Abstract	Fast and accurate fire severity mapping can provide an essential resource for fire management and studying fire-related ecological and climate change. Currently, mainstream fire severity mapping approaches are based only on pixel-wise spectral features. However, the landscape pattern of fire severity originates from variations in spatial dependence, which should be described by spatial features combined with spectral features. In this paper, we propose a morphological attribute profiles-based spectral–spatial approach, named Burn Attribute Profiles (BAP), to improve fire severity classification and mapping accuracy. Specifically, the BAP method uses principal component transformation and attributes with automatically determined thresholds to extract spatial features, which are integrated with spectral features to form spectral–spatial features for fire severity. We systematically tested and compared the BAP-based spectral–spatial features and spectral index features in the extremely randomized trees machine learning framework. Sentinel-2 imagery was used for seven fires in the Mediterranean region, while Landsat-8 imagery was used for another seven fires in the northwestern continental United States region. The results showed that, except for 2 fires (overall accuracy (OA) for EMSR213_P: 59.6%, EL: 59.5%), BAP performed well for the other 12 fires (OA for the 2 fires: 60–70%, 6 fires: 70–80%, 4 fires: >80%). Furthermore, compared with the spectral indices-based method, the BAP method showed OA improvement in all 14 fires (OA improvement in Mediterranean: 0.2–14.3%, US: 4.7–12.9%). Recall and Precision were also improved for each fire severity level in most fire events. Moreover, the BAP method improved the “salt-and-pepper” phenomenon in the homogeneous area, where the results are visually closest to the reference data. The above results suggest that the spectral–spatial method based on morphological attribute profiles can map fire severity more accurately.

Abstract	Background: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) has high disability and mortality rate. Oxidative stress and ferroptosis are important pathophysiological characteristics after TBI. Orexin-A (OXA) can alleviate neuronal damage in diverse neurological disorders. Nevertheless, the role and mechanism of OXA in TBI stay unknown. Objectives: The research investigated protection influence of OXA on TBI and its potential mechanisms. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly grouped into: sham, TBI, TBI + normal saline (NS) and TBI+OXA groups. TBI model was constructed in rat via modified Feeney's approach, and OXA treatment was administered following construction of TBI model. Results: Relative to TBI+NS group, TBI+OXA group displayed greatly recovered tissue damage and neurological deficits. Additionally, OXA eased oxidative stress as well as ferroptosis in cerebral cortex of rats following TBI. Furthermore, OXA increased Nrf2 expression and regulating factors HO-1 and NQO1 in cerebral cortex of TBI rats. Conclusions: Our research found OXA may restrain ferroptosis via Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway activation, thereby reducing brain injury after TBI.

Abstract	Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the difference in abdominal fat distribution between different metabolic groups and find the ectopic fat with the most risk significance. Methods: A total of 98 subjects were enrolled; there were 53 cases in the normal glucose metabolism group and 45 cases in the abnormal glucose metabolism group. Chemical shift-encoded magnetic resonance imaging was applied for quantification of pancreatic fat fraction (PFF) and hepatic fat fraction (HFF), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). The correlation and the difference of fat distribution between different metabolism groups were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the suggestive effect of different body fat fraction. Results: Correlation analysis showed that body mass index (BMI) had the strongest correlation with fasting insulin (r = 0.473, p < 0.001), HOMA-IR (r = 0.363, p < 0.001), and C-reactive protein (r = 0.245, p < 0.05). Pancreatic fat has a good correlation with fasting blood glucose (r = 0.247, p < 0.05) and HbA1c (r = 0.363, p < 0.001). With the increase of BMI, PFF, VAT, and SAT showed a clear upward trend, but liver fat was distributed relatively more randomly. The pancreatic fat content in the abnormal glucose metabolism group is significantly higher than that in the normal group, and pancreatic fat is also a reliable indicator of abnormal glucose metabolism, especially in the normal and overweight groups (the area under the curve was 0.859 and 0.864, respectively). Conclusion: MR-based fat quantification techniques can provide additional information on fat distribution. There are differences in fat distribution among people with different metabolic status. People with more severe pancreatic fat deposition have a higher risk of glucose metabolism disorders.

Abstract	Background: With the development of medical technology and change of life habits, early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has become more common. This study aimed to systematically analyzed clinicopathological factors associated to the overall survival (OS) of patients with Stage IA LUAD. Methods: A total of 5942 Stage IA LUAD patients were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Kaplan-Meier methods and log-rank tests were used to compare the differences in OS. A nomogram constructed based on the Cox regression was evaluated by Concordance index (C index), calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA) and area under curve (AUC). And 136 patients were recruited from Shandong Province Hospital for external validation. Results: Cox analysis regression indicated that 12 factors, such as Diagnosis to Treatment Interval (DTI) and Income Level, were independent prognostic factors and were included to establish the nomogram. The C-index of our novel model was 0.702, 0.724 and 0.872 in the training, internal and external validation cohorts, respectively. The 3-year and 5-year survival AUCs and calibration curves showed excellent agreement in each cohort. Some new factors in the SEER database, including DTI and Income Level, were firstly confirmed as independent prognostic factors of Stage IA LUAD patients. The distribution of these factors in the T1a, T1b, and T1c subgroups differed and had different effects on survival. Conclusion: We summarized 12 factors that affect prognosis and constructed a nomogram to predict OS of Stage IA LUAD patients who underwent operation. For the first time, new SEER database parameters, including DTI and Income Level, were proved to be survival-related.

Abstract	Road lighting is one of the largest consumers of electric energy in cities. Research into energy-saving street lighting is of great significance to city sustainable development and economies, especially given that many countries are now in a period of energy shortage. The control system is critical for energy-saving street lighting, due to its capability to directly change output power. Here, we propose a control system with high intelligence and efficiency, by incorporating improved YOLOv5s with terminal embedded devices and designing a new dimming method. The improved YOLOv5s has more balanced performance in both detection accuracy and detection speed compared to other state-of-the-art detection models, and achieved the highest cognition recall of 67.94%, precision of 81.28%, 74.53%AP <semantics> 50 </semantics> , and frames per second (FPS) of 59 in the DAIR-V2X dataset. The proposed method achieves highly complete and intelligent dimming control based on the prediction labels of the improved YOLOv5s, and a high energy-saving efficiency was achieved during a two week-long lighting experiment. Furthermore, this system can also contribute to the construction of the Internet of Things, smart cities, and urban security. The proposed control system here offered a novel, high-performance, adaptable, and economical solution to road lighting.

Abstract	As a sensitive indicator for climate change, the spring phenology of alpine grassland on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) has received extensive concern over past decade. It has been demonstrated that temperature and precipitation/snowfall play an important role in driving the green-up in alpine grassland. However, the spatial differences in the temperature and snowfall driven mechanism of alpine grassland green-up onset are still not clear. This manuscript establishes a set of process-based models to investigate the climate variables driving spring phenology and their spatial differences. Specifically, using 500 m three-day composite MODIS NDVI datasets from 2000 to 2015, we first estimated the land surface green-up onset (LSGO) of alpine grassland in the QTP. Further, combining with daily air temperature and precipitation datasets from 2000 to 2015, we built up process-based models for LSGO in 86 meteorological stations in the QTP. The optimum models of the stations separating climate drivers spatially suggest that LSGO in grassland is: (1) controlled by temperature in the north, west and south of the QTP, where the precipitation during late winter and spring is less than 20 mm; (2) driven by the combination of temperature and precipitation in the middle, east and southwest regions with higher precipitation and (3) more likely controlled by both temperature and precipitation in snowfall dominant regions, since the snow-melting process has negative effects on the air temperature. The result dictates that snowfall and rainfall should be concerned separately in the improvement of the spring phenology model of the alpine grassland ecosystem.

Abstract	Degradable biomedical elastomers (DBE), characterized by controlled biodegradability, excellent biocompatibility, tailored elasticity, and favorable network design and processability, have become indispensable in tissue repair. This review critically examines the recent advances of biodegradable elastomers for tissue repair, focusing mainly on degradation mechanisms and evaluation, synthesis and crosslinking methods, microstructure design, processing techniques, and tissue repair applications. The review explores the material composition and cross-linking methods of elastomers used in tissue repair, addressing chemistry-related challenges and structural design considerations. In addition, this review focuses on the processing methods of two- and three-dimensional structures of elastomers, and systematically discusses the contribution of processing methods such as solvent casting, electrostatic spinning, and three-/four-dimensional printing of DBE. Furthermore, we describe recent advances in tissue repair using DBE, and include advances achieved in regenerating different tissues, including nerves, tendons, muscle, cardiac, and bone, highlighting their efficacy and versatility. The review concludes by discussing the current challenges in material selection, biodegradation, bioactivation, and manufacturing in tissue repair, and suggests future research directions. This concise yet comprehensive analysis aims to provide valuable insights and technical guidance for advances in DBE for tissue engineering.
