Abstract	BackgroundWith the increasing in aging in China, there has been an increase in older adults suffering from chronic diseases. However, little is known about the differences in chronic disease conditions between rural and urban older adults. The objective of this study is to identify chronic disease conditions and investigate the factors that cause differences in chronic disease conditions between urban and rural older adults.MethodsThe data are from the fourth wave of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. The coarsened exact matching (CEM) method was used to reduce the biases for a comparative study. After the CEM method, this study included 5,927 participants aged 60 and above. Chronic disease condition was used as the indicator to measure the health of older adults. Specifically, Fairlie's decomposition analysis was carried out to discover the differences in chronic disease conditions between urban and rural older adults.ResultsThe study showed that the proportion of those suffering from chronic diseases was significantly higher among urban older adults (51.26%) than rural older adults (46.56%). In those suffering from chronic diseases, there were significant differences in gender, education level, minorities, religiosities, duration of sleep, drinking alcohol, social activity, insurance, and socioeconomic status between rural and urban older adults, while in those not suffering from chronic diseases, there were significant differences in age, education level, marital status, drinking alcohol, social activity, insurance, region, and socioeconomic status between rural and urban older adults. For rural older adults, those who were widowers [Odds ratios (OR): 1.267], who drink alcohol (OR: 1.421), and having government medical insurance (OR: 4.869) had higher odds of having chronic diseases. However, those who were in high school and above (OR: 0.802), reporting a duration of sleep of 4–8 h (OR: 0.745) or above 8 h (OR: 0.649), having social activity (OR: 0.778), and having the most affluent ...

Abstract	The overarching goal of this study was to look into the effects of academic self-efficacy and academic motivation on student long-term engagement and academic achievement. This study also sought to investigate the role of learning agility as a mediator in the relationship between academic self-efficacy and academic motivation. This study examined the impact of student sustainable engagement on student academic achievement as part of our model. A questionnaire technique was used to collect data from 325 music education students studying at various music training institutions in China. The data were analyzed using the Smart-PLS software and a structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. Academic self-efficacy and academic motivation were found to have a positive and significant relationship with student long-term engagement. The academic motivation was also found to have a positive relationship with student long-term engagement. Furthermore, learning agility was found to mediate the relationship between academic self-efficacy and student sustainable engagement. Furthermore, learning agility mediated the relationship between academic motivation and long-term student engagement. Furthermore, student sustainable engagement has a significant and positive relationship with student academic achievement. This paper made a valuable theoretical contribution by investigating the impact of academic self-efficacy and academic motivation on student sustainable engagement, as well as the impact of student sustainable engagement on student academic achievement. Furthermore, this study added to the body of knowledge by investigating the relationship through the lens of cognitive learning theory. In terms of practical implications, this paper would undoubtedly assist educational institutions in maintaining a fair and just learning environment that encourages students to be engaged and perform well. Future research can include other constructs to gain a better understanding of the factors that influence students' academic engagement and achievement.

Abstract	The scientific names of organisms are key identifiers of plants and animals. Correctly treating scientific names is a prerequisite for biodiversity research and documentation. Here, we present an R package, ‘U.Taxonstand’, which can standardize and harmonize scientific names in plant and animal species lists at a fast speed and at a high rate of matching success. Unlike most of other similar R packages each of which works with only one taxonomic database, U.Taxonstand can work with all taxonomic databases, as long as they are properly formatted. Multiple databases for plants and animals that can be directly used by U.Taxonstand, which include bryophytes, vascular plants, amphibians, birds, fishes, mammals, and reptiles, are available online. U.Taxonstand can be a very useful tool for botanists, zoologists, ecologists and biogeographers to standardize and harmonize scientific names of organisms.

Abstract	Land use patterns significantly impact urban development by exerting production-living-ecological functions (PLEFs). Scientifically measuring the relationships among PLEFs is essential to support regional high-quality and sustainable development. However, the current identification methods of PLEFs are biased, and researches on the spatial distribution of coordination and conflict and their influencing factors in metropolitan are insufficient. This study proposed an improved PLEFs identification method to analyze the PLEFs in Beijing from 2000 to 2020 at a grid scale. Then, the coupling coordination degree (CCD) of PLEFS was estimated by employing spatiotemporal data and spatial statistical models. Finally, the impacts of the socioeconomic and natural factors on the CCD were quantified by the geographically weighted regression model (GWR). The results showed that from 2000 to 2020, (1) the areas with high CCD gathered in the plain areas with high PF and LF, and the low CCD areas clustered in the mountainous areas with low PF and LF; (2) the EF presented a closer positive relationship with CCD in the plain areas, while the positive impact of PF and LF on CCD was more substantial than EF in the mountainous areas; and (3) the population and GDP factors had high positive effects on CCD in the north and west mountain areas, and the altitude and slope factors negatively affected CCD in most areas of Beijing, except for a few areas in the southeast. Therefore, formulating a regional differentiation strategy to achieve the sustainable development of PLEFs in Beijing was crucial.

Abstract	This paper investigates the exponential consensus problem for a class of nonlinear leader-following multi-agent systems using impulsive control, where impulses are generated by the event-triggered mechanism and are subjected to actuation delays. It is proved that Zeno behavior can be avoided, and by employing the linear matrix inequality technique, some sufficient conditions for realizing exponential consensus of the considered system are derived. Actuation delay is an important factor affecting the consensus of the system, and our results show that increasing the actuation delay can enlarge the lower bound of the triggering interval, while it harms the consensus. To demonstrate the validity of the obtained results, a numerical example is provided.

Abstract	Instrument recognition is a critical task in the field of music information retrieval and deep neural networks have become the dominant models for this task due to their effectiveness. Recently, incorporating data augmentation methods into deep neural networks has been a popular approach to improve instrument recognition performance. However, existing data augmentation processes are always based on simple instrument spectrogram representation and are typically independent of the predominant instrument recognition process. This may result in a lack of coverage for certain required instrument types, leading to inconsistencies between the augmented data and the specific requirements of the recognition model. To build more expressive instrument representation and address this inconsistency, this paper constructs a combined two-channel representation for further capturing the unique rhythm patterns of different types of instruments and proposes a new predominant instrument recognition strategy called Augmentation Embedded Deep Convolutional neural Network (AEDCN). AEDCN adds two fully connected layers into the backbone neural network and integrates data augmentation directly into the recognition process by introducing a proposed Adversarial Embedded Conditional Variational AutoEncoder (ACEVAE) between the added fully connected layers of the backbone network. This embedded module aims to generate augmented data based on designated labels, thereby ensuring its compatibility with the predominant instrument recognition model. The effectiveness of the combined representation and AEDCN is validated through comparative experiments with other commonly used deep neural networks and data augmentation-based predominant instrument recognition methods using a polyphonic music recognition dataset. The results demonstrate the superior performance of AEDCN in predominant instrument recognition tasks.

Abstract	As the common wealth of all mankind, intangible cultural heritage carries the memory of history. The implementation of dragon and lion dance technical grade evaluation can be called pioneering work for the legacy inheritance. The purpose of this study is to analyze the distribution characteristics, trends, types, and driving factors of dragon and lion dance athletes. Athletes who were awarded a grade certificate by Chinese Dragon and Lion Dance Sports Association from 2018 to 2021 were taken as the analysis objects. In ArcGIS10.8, trend surface analysis and standard deviational ellipse are used to study the spatial distribution characteristics. Using the global and local Moran's I in GeoDa, this paper explores the concentration degree and types of dragon and lion dance athletes. The factors driving the distribution difference are analyzed with the help of geographical detectors. Continuous data such as total GDP, sports field areas, permanent populations, and altitude are taken as the software input after preprocessing. The results show that there are significant differences in the distribution of provinces and four geographical regions. For dragon dance athletes, there is a linear growth trend in the west-east direction and an inverted U-shape trend in the south-north direction. For lion dance athletes, there is a trend of log function in the west-east direction and an inverted U shape in the south-north direction. The global Moran's I is 0.2386, and there are obvious characteristics of H–H, L-L, and L-H aggregation types. Nomination of sports intangible cultural heritage, total GDP, permanent resident population, urbanization development level, the number of colleges and universities, and the proportion of tertiary industry are the leading factors, and the explanatory power of interactive factors is significantly enhanced. Therefore, it is suggested to strengthen the cultural heritage protection of dragon and lion dance, increase capital investment, enhance public participation, and raise government attention.

Abstract	Agricultural drainage from catchment greatly impacts water quality in the hilly area due to high nitrogen concentrations in the central basin of Sichuan Province, China. The original ecological ditches have proven effective in removing associated nutrient loads, but their nitrogen removal efficiency is limited by the elevated nitrogen levels of overland flow and subsurface flow. Field experiments were conducted to optimize the drainage network to enhance the performance of ecological ditches and enhance nitrogen removal efficiency in hilly regions. The results suggested that ecologically permeable dam ditches exhibited superior total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) removal efficiencies compared to single dams, multiple dams, and ecological intercept dams. Specifically, in single, multiple, and ecological intercept dams, TN removal was 20.2 %, 12.7 %, and 2.5 % higher, respectively, while TP removal was 18.2 %, 10.3 %, and 3.7 % higher, respectively. The TN removal efficiency by the Hydrocotyle verticillate and Iris pseudacorus L. ditch was 15.8 % and 2.3 % higher than that of the Myriophyllum verticillatum L. and Hydrocotyle verticillata and Hydrocotyle verticillata and Thalia dealbata Fraser, respectively. The TP removal efficiency in Hydrocotyle verticillata and Thalia dealbata Fraser ditch was 11.4 % and 3.5 % higher than that in Myriophyllum verticillatum L. and Hydrocotyle verticillata and Hydrocotyle verticillate and Iris pseudacorus L., respectively. The soil bed ditch demonstrated superior TN and TP removal efficiencies, with rates of 15.2 % and 11.3 %, respectively, compared to the pebble bed and mudstone bed (2.9 % and 3.4 %, respectively). Therefore, the original ecological ditch was reinforced through a combination of fine-textured soil substrates, native emergent plants with large biomass and ecologically permeable dams to enhance the removal efficiencies of TN and TP in agricultural drainage. Following reinforcement and evaluation in 2020, the removal efficiencies of TN, TP, ammonia ...
