Abstract	Sustainable entrepreneurship is an economic activity that integrates entrepreneurial activities with environmental and social sustainability, which is a frontier research field that integrates the triple bottom line of economy, environment, and society. A comprehensive survey was conducted in this study by collecting data from 203 potential entrepreneurs in China, such as employees with work experience, freelancers, and college students, by means of a questionnaire in March 2022. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to investigate the research hypotheses considered, testing the impact of entrepreneurial intention on sustainable entrepreneurial behavior from the perspective of risk perception and institutional environment. The reliability and validity of the measurements are demonstrated. The outcomes from the conducted analyses show that entrepreneurial intention and risk perception do not directly affect sustainable entrepreneurial behavior, while entrepreneurial intention significantly affects risk perception. Moreover, risk perception serves a mediating role in the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and sustainable entrepreneurship. The institutional environment positively predicts sustainable entrepreneurship behavior and could even have a greater effect by reducing risk perception. Hence, this study suggests that the government should provide policy and financial support to create an open, stable, and inclusive institutional environment, to reduce the cost and risk of innovation and entrepreneurship. At the same time, it also provides theoretical and practical references for potential entrepreneurs to improve their entrepreneurial intention and carry out sustainable entrepreneurial behavior.

Abstract	Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are serious public health issues and are responsible for nearly one-third of global deaths. Mitochondrial dysfunction is accountable for the development of most CVDs. Mitochondria produce adenosine triphosphate through oxidative phosphorylation and inevitably generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excessive ROS causes mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death. Mitochondria can protect against these damages via the regulation of mitochondrial homeostasis. In recent years, mitochondria-targeted therapy for CVDs has attracted increasing attention. Various studies have confirmed that clinical drugs (β-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor-II blockers) against CVDs have mitochondrial protective functions. An increasing number of cardiac mitochondrial targets have shown their cardioprotective effects in experimental and clinical studies. Here, we briefly introduce the mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction and summarize the progression of mitochondrial targets against CVDs, which may provide ideas for experimental studies and clinical trials.

Abstract	Landforms are a fundamental component of the natural environment, and digital terrain mapping on a large spatial scale is important when studying landforms. In this study, we adopted a semantic segmentation model in computer vision to classify elementary landform types using AW3D30 digital elevation model (DEM) data. We built a semantic segmentation model with an FCN-ResNet architecture that extracts features using a residual network (ResNet) and obtains pixel-level segmentation of the DEM using a fully convolutional network (FCN). A lightweight decoder based on skip connections was adopted to maintain detailed information at different scales. We used the 1:1,000,000 Chinese landform map as the label and tested different combinations of terrain factors. The experiments indicate that increasing the terrain factors has no significant influence on the model, and the semantic information can be learned using only DEM data. The model has strong feature extraction capability and is tolerant to noise and error. The results of landform category prediction confirm that deep learning methods have strong potential for landform classification and will have great application prospects in the field of geomorphological research.

Abstract	Aiming at the problem of high inventory control costs of shipbuilding enterprises under uncertain conditions, this paper constructs and optimizes a dynamic collaborative replenishment model of shipbuilding enterprises inventory control. This model adopts integrated supply chain management theory and collaborative theory to analyze the inventory control principle in shipbuilding enterprises, and its goal is to minimize the cost and maximize the service level. The dynamic replenishment strategy from two types of suppliers is given by using mathematical knowledge, such as optimization theory, probability theory, and mathematical statistics to solve the model. Finally, shipbuilding enterprises take paint inventory control as an example to test and verify the validity and correctness of the model by using numerical simulation and sensitivity analysis. The results show that the dynamic collaborative replenishment model of shipbuilding enterprises inventory control can make full use of the advantages of two types of suppliers. Additionally, it cannot only quickly respond to demand changes, but can also maintain low operating costs. Therefore, the dynamic collaborative replenishment model could effectively solve the problem of high inventory control costs of shipbuilding enterprises under uncertain conditions and has great application value and practical significance.

Abstract	In the past few years, reverse logistics practices have successfully managed to gain more attention in various industries and among supply chain researchers and experts. This is due to globalization, environmental concerns, and customer requirements, which have asserted industries’ concerns for reverse logistics management. In E-commerce, the process of reverse logistics originates with parcel refusal, undelivered goods, and exchanges. In developing countries like Pakistan, the adoption and implications of reverse logistics are still at their early stages. E-commerce companies give more attention to forward logistics and ignore logistics’ upstream flow in the supply chain. This study aims to identify, as well as list, the barriers and obtain the solutions to those identified barriers, and rank the barriers and their solutions so that logisticians and experts can solve them as per their priority. From the extensive literature review and experts’ opinions, we have found 14 barriers in implementing effective reverse logistics. Eight solutions to those barriers were also found from the literature review. This paper proposed the methodology based on fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (fuzzy-AHP), which used to get the weights of each barrier by using pairwise comparison, and fuzzy technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (fuzzy-TOPSIS) method, which was adopted for the final ranking of solutions to reverse logistics. The case of the Pakistan E-commerce industry is used in the proposed method.

Abstract	Background and Objectives : The stable stand structure of mixed plantations is the basis of giving full play to forest ecological function and benefit. However, the monocultural Eucalyptus plantations with large-scale and successive planting that caused ecological problems such as reduced species diversity and loss of soil nutrients have presented to be unstable and vulnerable, especially in typhoon-prone areas. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nonspatial structure difference and the stand stability of pure and mixed- Eucalyptus forests, to find out the best mixed pattern of Eucalyptus forests with the most stability in typhoon-prone areas. Materials and Methods : In this study, we randomly investigated eight plots of 30 m × 30 m in pure and mixed- Eucalyptus ( Eucalyptus urophylla S. T. Blake × E. grandis W. Hill) plantations of different tree species ( Neolamarckia cadamba (Roxb.) Bosser, Acacia mangium Willd., and Pinus elliottii var. Elliottii Engelm. × P. caribaea Morelet) on growth status, characterized and compared the distribution of nonspatial structure of the monoculture and mixtures, and evaluated the stand quality and stability from eight indexes of the nonspatial structure, including preservation rate, stand density, height, diameter, stem form, degree of stem inclination, tree-species composition, and age structure. Results : Eucalyptus surviving in the mixed plantation of Eucalyptus and A. mangium (EA) and in the mixed plantation of Eucalyptus and P. elliottii × P. caribaea (EP) were 5.0% and 7.6% greater than those in pure Eucalyptus plantation (EE), respectively, while only the stand preservation rate of EA was greater (+2.9%) than that of the pure Eucalyptus plantation. The proportions of all mixtures in the height class greater than 7 m were fewer than that of EE. The proportions of EA and mixed plantation of Eucalyptus and N. cadamba (EN) in the diameter class greater than 7 m were 10.6% and 7.8%, respectively, more than that of EE. EN had the highest ratio of branching visibly ...

Abstract	Pallets are an important transportation tool in modern shipbuilding. With shipbuilding now trending towards larger ships, empty pallet allocation needs to meet the demands of having low costs and being sustainable for green shipbuilding. Thus, with the development of a pallet pool system, a new shipbuilding empty pallet pool allocation (SEPPA) pattern is proposed in this study. An integrated framework is developed that combines a mathematical planning model for a SEPPA pattern with a green allocation strategy. For the base case, the operation costs of the traditional shipbuilding empty pallet allocation (TSEPA) pattern and the SEPPA pattern are solved by applying an improved genetic algorithm for different pallet supply and demand situations. The results show that the SEPPA pattern is more cost-efficient than the TSEPA pattern. With increasing imbalances between supply and demand, the operation costs of the SEPPA pattern are lower than that of the TSEPA pattern. In general, the distribution of supply and demand will affect operation costs. Reasonable safety inventory intervals can reduce the operation costs of empty pallet allocation. This research may support decision making by shipbuilding pallet managers as they seek to minimize the costs of their pallet operations, by adopting practices and adapting strategies for their specific conditions.

Abstract	Clarifying service demands is a necessary prerequisite for promoting high-quality service development and sustainable supply. According to the charm quality theory and the logical system and basic viewpoints of the Kano model, a questionnaire survey was conducted on the needs of 241 elderly people (aged 60 and above) in the Dabei Quhou community, Chengyang District, Qingdao City, to understand the needs and willingness of elderly people in the community to integrate health promotion services. Statistical survey results on the division of the service demand level attribution, the level of satisfaction coefficient and dissatisfaction coefficient, the priority sequence of community sports, and medical integration health promotion service projects were addressed. Among the nineteen service demand items, there are four essential elements (M), three expected elements (O), eleven attractive elements (A), and one irrelevant element (I). Its service demand as a whole presents low dependence. On the basis of the hierarchical division of the health promotion service needs of physical and medical integration, based on the safety and convenience of maintaining a daily healthy life, the composition of each demand level presents the demand tendency that spans from basic function demand satisfaction to service function development and content-rich expansion. Secondly, given the convenience of service supply, there is a tendency for social public health promotion services to reach the community level.

Abstract	With increasing interest in basic income (BI) in recent years around the world, a precise understanding of public attitudes toward this policy can provide valuable evidence for discussions on its feasibility among scholars and policymakers. This study quantitatively investigates what factors influence public attitudes toward implementing BI, taking the Hokuriku region of Japan as an example. The hypothesis and variables were designed based on the theories of retrenchment and social innovation, and a detailed consideration of the theoretical impacts of BI on human society, and of the social, economic and cultural characteristics of Japan. A questionnaire containing a BI proposal for Japan was developed, then a survey was conducted of 1028 local residents in the Hokuriku region. The logistic regression model was employed for the empirical analysis. The results showed that age, individual income level, family structure and interest in participating in non-market activities tend to influence respondents’ attitudes toward BI, due to concerns about the gains and losses from a trade-off selection between BI and the existing policies that it would replace. From the perspective of individual value, it was also found that the perception of the future vision of a society reshaped by BI also significantly influences public attitudes toward the policy. This research emphasized that the retrenchment of the existing policies accompanied by the implementation of BI lead potential beneficiaries of the current welfare system to weigh the change to their benefits, which consequently forms their attitudes toward BI.
