    Abstract Abstract In order to accurately extract the fault features of arc high impedance grounding of low‐voltage distribution lines and judge the fault feature types of arc high impedance grounding of low‐voltage distribution lines, a fault feature extraction method for arc high impedance grounding of low‐voltage distribution lines based on Bayesian network optimisation algorithm is proposed. According to the model of arc high impedance grounding fault based on Thomson’s principle, the parameter information of each transmission signal in arc high impedance grounding fault is extracted. Through the denoising method of arc high impedance grounding signal based on combined filter, the noise information of transmission signal in case of arc high impedance grounding fault is removed and the signal purity is improved. The detection and recognition method for fault characteristics of arc high impedance grounding of low‐voltage distribution lines based on Bayesian network optimisation algorithm is used to detect and judge the fault characteristics of the abnormal characteristics of the denoised transmission signal, and complete the fault feature extraction. After testing, this method can accurately and real‐time extract the fault characteristics of arc high impedance grounding of low‐voltage distribution lines, and has application value.

    Abstract Abstract Background People with lifestyle behaviors, such as current smoking, regular drinking, and physical inactivity, may experience a lack of or delayed health care, leading to severe sickness and higher health care expenditures in the future. Hence, the current study aims to ascertain the effects of current smoking, regular drinking, and physical inactivity on health care-seeking behavior among adults who report physical discomfort in China. Methods The data used in this study were obtained from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS). The final sample consisted of 44,362 individuals who participated in all five waves of data collection. Logistic regression models were used for the analysis. Results The results of fixed effects logistic regression showed that among those who reported physical discomfort, adults who currently smoked cigarettes were 0.65 times less likely to seek health care than those who formerly smoked. Compared to nondrinkers, adults who regularly drank alcohol had a decreased likelihood of seeking health care. Adults who never engaged in physical exercise had 24% lower odds of seeking health care than those who engaged in physical exercise. Conclusions Current smoking, regular drinking, and physical inactivity decreased the probability of seeking health care among adults who reported physical discomfort. Therefore, screening and brief advice programs should be delivered by primary-level care and should pay more attention to individuals who engage in lifestyle behaviors such as current smoking, regular drinking, and physical inactivity, thus avoiding missed opportunities to treat chronic conditions and detect new diseases early.

    Abstract Peri-urban ecosystems are strongly influenced by their natural environmental conditions and surrounding landscape. However, landscape patterns and landscape-related variables driving pharmaceutical pollution in peri-urban watersheds with rapid urbanization remain poorly understood. Herein, we investigated the occurrence and spatiotemporal distribution of 28 pharmaceuticals and their potential influencing factors in a peri-urban watershed (Zhangxi River Watershed) in Zhejiang province, Eastern China. Paraxanthine (detection frequency 97 %, mean concentration 223.07 ng/L) and anhydro-erythromycin (95 %, 4.01 ng/L) were the most prevalent compounds. Total pharmaceutical concentrations (sum of all target compounds) were significantly higher in the wet season (summer and autumn) than in the dry season (spring and winter; P < 0.05). Information theoretic-based analysis revealed that landscape pattern and dissolve organic matter were the main drivers of watershed-scale pharmaceutical pollution rather than water quality parameters and topographic characteristics. Correlation analysis showed that total pharmaceutical concentrations were more highly correlated with landscape pattern during the dry season than the wet season. The importance analysis and indicator interaction analysis revealed that interspersion and juxtaposition index (IJI), mean patch size (AREA-MN), patch density (PD), terrestrial humic-like substances C2, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) played a vital role in the occurrence and distribution of pharmaceutical in the watershed. Maintaining natural landscape is conducive to reduce antibiotic concentration in Zhangxi River. These results suggest that landscape patterns and dissolved organic matter strongly influence pharmaceutical pollution in the peri-urban ecosystem at a watershed scale.

    Abstract Background: DNA damage response (DDR) confer resistance to chemoradiotherapy in cancer cells. However, the role of DDR-related lncRNAs (DRLs) in uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to identify a DRL-related prognostic signature that could guide the clinical treatment of UCEC. Methods: We extracted transcriptome and clinical data of patients with UCEC from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and identified DRLs using Spearman correlation analysis. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were used to determine candidate prognostic DRLs. The samples were randomly divided into training and test cohorts in a 1:1 ratio. A DRL-related risk signature was constructed from the training cohort data using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm, and validated using the test and entire cohorts. Subsequently, a prognostic nomogram was developed using a multivariate Cox regression analysis. The functional annotation, immune microenvironment, tumor mutation burden (TMB), immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) efficacy, and drug sensitivity were also comprehensively analyzed between different risk groups. Finally, the function of AC019069.1 was validated in vitro. Results: A novel risk signature was developed based on nine DRLs. The risk score efficiently predicted the prognosis of patients with UCEC. Based on the median risk score, two subgroups were identified. The DDR-related pathways were upregulated in the high-risk group. Additionally, high-risk patients have low immune activity, poor response to ICB, and weak sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents, possibly because of the proficient DDR system. Finally, we demonstrated AC019069.1 could promote cell proliferation, decrease apoptosis and maintain genome stability of UCEC cells. Conclusions: The developed DRL-related signature can predict the prognosis, immune microenvironment, immunotherapy, and chemoradiotherapy responsiveness of UCEC. Our study also revealed the potential value of ...

    Abstract Land surface temperature (LST) is an essential parameter in the climate system whose dynamics indicate climate change. This study aimed to assess the impact of multitemporal land use and land cover (LULC) change on LST due to urbanization in Hefei City, Anhui Province, China. The research methodology consisted of four main components: Landsat data collection and preparation; multitemporal LULC classification; time-series LST dataset reconstruction; and impact of multitemporal LULC change on LST. The results revealed that urban and built-up land continuously increased from 2.05% in 2001 to 13.25% in 2020. Regarding the impact of LULC change on LST, the spatial analysis demonstrated that the LST difference between urban and non-urban areas had been 1.52 K, 3.38 K, 2.88 K and 3.57 K in 2001, 2006, 2014 and 2020, respectively. Meanwhile, according to decomposition analysis, regarding the influence of LULC change on LST, the urban and built-up land had an intra-annual amplitude of 20.42 K higher than other types. Thus, it can be reconfirmed that land use and land cover changes due to urbanization in Hefei City impact the land surface temperature.

    Abstract Objectives: To analyse the pathogenic genes in a patient with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) and explore the relationship between pathogenic genes and the oligodontia phenotype. Methods: Clinical data and peripheral blood were collected from a patient with HED. Pathogenic genes were analysed by whole-exon sequencing (WES) and verified by Singer sequencing. The secondary and tertiary structures of the variant proteins were predicted to analyse their toxicity. Results: The patient exhibited a severe oligodontia phenotype, wherein only two deciduous canines were left in the upper jaw. WES revealed a hemizygous EDA variant c.466C > T p.(Arg156Cys) and a novel heterozygous EVC2 variant c.1772T > C p.(Leu591Ser). Prediction of the secondary and tertiary structures of the EDA variant p.(Arg156Cys) and EVC2 variant p.(Leu591Ser) indicated impaired function of both molecules. Conclusion: The patient demonstrated a more severe oligodontia phenotype when compared with the other patients caused by the EDA variant c.466C > T. Since Evc2 is a positive regulator of the Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signal pathway, we speculated that the EVC2 variant p.(Leu591Ser) may play a synergistic role in the oligodontia phenotype of HED, thereby exacerbating the oligodontia phenotype. Knowledge of oligodontia caused by multiple gene variants is of great significance for understanding individual differences in oligodontia phenotypes.

    Abstract A land-use simulation model oriented toward ecological constraints is effective for evaluating the ecological impact of urban spatial planning. However, few studies have incorporated dynamically nested ecological spatial constraints into the model or fully considered the urban development, agricultural production, and ecological function among the ecological spatial constraints. Therefore, this study developed an improved land-use simulation model with dynamically nested ecological spatial constraints (LSDNE). We fully considered the multilevel ecological spatial constraints from the perspectives of ecological (ecological protection red line, EPRL), production (capital farmland, CF), and living (urban development land-use suitability, UDLS). Five scenarios in terms of future land-use distribution in 2030 were set, namely, inertial development (S1), considering EPRL (S2), considering CF (S3), considering EPRL and CF (S4), and considering EPRL, CF, and UDLS (S5). This new approach was implemented in the rapidly developing provincial capital city of Changchun, China. The results show that, due to the occupation of arable land, Changchun had the largest increase in built-up land (2019.75 km 2 to 3036.36 km 2 ) from 2010 to 2020. Terrain elevation was the most significant factor in all kinds of land expansion. According to future land spatial distribution results in 2030, under S4, Changchun’s built-up land will be more compact compared with S1–S3 and S5, which showed more scattered built-up land. These predicted results show that Changchun’s spatial planning put forward high requirements for the efficient use of land and constraints in red-line areas. Due to a clear evaluation of the impact of ecological spatial constraints on future land expansion, the LSDNE model provides more accurate support for the efficient use of land resources and future territorial spatial planning.

    Abstract Saline–alkali soil seriously inhibits crop growth and yields and threatens the sustainable development of agriculture. Corn straw compost can alleviate saline–alkali stress and improve crop growth and development. In this study, we demonstrate that corn straw compost (CSC) improved soil physicochemical properties, e.g., decreased pH and electrical conductivity (EC), but increased soil nutrients, e.g., available nitrogen and phosphorus, and soluble organic carbon, as well as activities of sucrase and urease in saline–alkali soil. CSC affected the structure of water-stable aggregates (WSA) and the composition of soil microflora in saline–alkali soil. With the increase in the content of CSC, the abundances of some genera, e.g., Thermobacillus , Thermopolyspora , and Thermobispora , were significantly increased, suggesting that they play an important role in improving soil nutrient components and physicochemical properties, which subsequently improved plant growth and development. Consequently, the biomass and yields of rice grown in saline–alkali soil were greatly improved. In conclusion, CSC can improve saline–alkali soil activities and microbial communities, thus improving crop growth and yields. Our findings provide a theoretical basis for the sustainable development of modern agriculture.

    Abstract The Beijing–Hangzhou Grand Canal is renowned for being one of the longest and largest canals in the world. Running from Beijing to Hangzhou (north to south), it connects China’s five major water systems and has an important impact on the ecological environment and economy of northern and southern China. It also boasts a large quantity of intangible cultural heritage (ICH). Clarifying the spatio-temporal distribution pattern of ICH in the Beijing–Hangzhou Grand Canal Basin and its influencing factors is essential for the protection and utilization of heritage resources and the formulation of management policies. In this study, 977 national ICH items in the Beijing–Hangzhou Grand Canal Basin are analyzed with the help of ArcGIS spatial analysis technology, SPSS regression analysis, and human geography research methods. The results show that the national ICH in the Beijing–Hangzhou Grand Canal Basin has complete categories but varies in provincial scale, particularly between the north and south parts. According to the analysis using tools such as kernel density estimation, standard deviation ellipse, and the center-of-gravity model, it is clear that the ICH in the Beijing–Hangzhou Grand Canal Basin shows different degrees of sub-type aggregation, varying directional characteristics of each batch of ICH, and a centre of gravity of ICH with a tendency to shift in multiple directions. The main factors affecting the spatio-temporal distribution pattern of ICH in the Beijing–Hangzhou Grand Canal Basin are natural geographical factors, socioeconomic factors, and policy environment factors. Moreover, there is a significant positive correlation between ICH resources and the tourism industry that cannot be ignored. This study provides an important reference for planning the reuse of ICH resource systems in northern and southern China.

    Abstract BackgroundOwing to the complexity of and changes associated with modern public health emergencies, cross-departmental collaborative governance is an inevitable choice for ensuring effective emergency management. In the context of emergency management research, the way in which taking full advantage of synergy can be used to enhance the effectiveness of emergency prevention and control approaches is an important issue that must be addressed urgently.MethodsCombined with China's responses to the management of public health emergencies, in this study, we construct a theoretical analysis framework involving three dimensions: information, organization, and environment. Our proposed framework relies on the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method to analyze the mechanisms behind the prevention and control of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases across 15 cities located in typical provinces throughout China and explore the roles of cross-departmental collaboration in the processing of various elements as well as the effects of their combination on the action mechanisms for ensuring the effectiveness of emergency management approaches.FindingsThe results show a significant conditional correlation between the effectiveness of emergency management and the factors affecting cross-departmental coordination. Based on the characteristics of multiple concurrent paths, the driving paths can be classified into four categories: organizational, environmental, environment-balanced, and organization environment-based dual-core categories.ConclusionsThe effectiveness of public health emergency management is the result of multiple factors. Local governments should strengthen the coordination and integration of information, organization, and environment, improve the coordinated system associated with emergency management, promote the “two-wheel drive” of high-quality development as well as accurate prevention and control, explore and perfect the adaptive combinatorial optimization path, and effectively transform ...
