Abstract	This study tests the validity of the club convergence clustering hypothesis in the G20 countries using four measures of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic: total number of confirmed cases per million people, new cases per million people, total deaths per million people, and new deaths per million people. The empirical analysis is based on the daily data from March 1, 2020, to October 10, 2020. The results indicate three clusters for the per capita income, two clusters for total cases per million people, and new cases per million people. Besides, there are only one and two clusters for total deaths per million people and new deaths per million people. Potential policy implications are also discussed in detail.

Abstract	This paper proposes the models of allocating defense and recovery resources for spatially embedded networks, respectively, both of which consider the length of links as the allocation cost. In the defense model, the amount of defense resources required for each zone depends on the total length of the links they contain. It is found that dispersed allocation performs better and that parameters that allow for a uniform distribution of link lengths produce better results. In the recovery model, a shortest link hierarchical recovery (HSR) strategy is proposed and proved to be more effective. In this strategy, the number of repaired links plays a decisive role in the recovery results, while the total length of the links does not seem to matter when the number is constant. In addition, a number of different parameters are adopted to validate the qualitative conclusions. These models might yield insights into studying and protecting spatial infrastructure systems.

Abstract	Aim: Given the current aging population, the demand on medical facilities, facilities for elderly care, and even their high prevalence, it is crucial to investigate the advantages of older people. The purpose of our study was to systematically review the existing literature on the health effects of horticultural therapy as a treatment option for the elderly. Subject and methods: Article searches were conducted through five databases: Web of science, Science Direct, PubMed, EBSCO, and Google Scholar, according to the standard method of systematic evaluation and meta-analysis. Thirty-two published articles were included, and 27 relevant variables were meta-analyzed to assess the benefits of horticultural therapy in terms of physical and psychological functioning in the elderly. Results: Results show that horticultural therapy may be helpful in helping seniors lose weight -0.195 (95% CI -0.507,0.117), reduce their waist circumference -0.327 (95% CI -0.637, -0.017), lower their stress -0.339 (95% CI -0.610, -0.069) and cortisol -0.902 (95% CI -0.728, -0.002) levels, improve their physical flexibility 0.302 (95% CI 0.036, 0.569), social interaction 0.370, (95% CI 0.115, 0.624), and daily vegetables and fruit consumption 0.688 (95% CI: 0.287, 1.089). Conclusion: Horticultural therapy may be a useful tool for enhancing the physical, mental and social aspects of the elderly. However, there is substantial heterogeneity and wide variation in the quality of the included studies. Further high-quality studies, rigorous controls and adjustments for significant confounding variables, and larger populations are needed in the future to further our understanding of the link between horticultural therapy and elder health.

Abstract	The box packing problem can be generalized as placing a batch of cargos with a specified number of different physical characteristics into a specified box. Suppose that a batch of cuboid cargos of different sizes are to be loaded into a batch of boxes of the same type, the cargos have constraints such as orientation and stability. Taking the mean value of the reciprocal of space utilization as the objective function, this paper designs a hybrid genetic algorithm that combines genetic algorithm and tabu search algorithm. Aiming at the information of the packing sequence and the rotating state of the box in the packing scheme, a two-stage real number encoding method and decoding method based on random keys are designed, and a crossover operation based on partial random keys and uniform crossover is designed. In order to convert the solution searched by the optimization algorithm into the actual packing scheme, a heuristic loading algorithm is designed while using the positioning rule of the lower left corner, the space selection rule of the minimum space, and the division and merging rules of the remaining space. In the early stage, the roulette method was used to strengthen the global search ability, and in the later stage, the optimal preservation strategy was used to speed up the algorithm convergence. To make up for the shortcomings of the genetic algorithm’s weak local search ability and slow convergence speed, the tabu search algorithm was used as a mutation operation in the genetic algorithm. The solution in the generation is used as the initial solution of the tabu search algorithm, and the search process is carried out. Finally, this paper tests the proposed hybrid algorithm on 6 groups of weakly heterogeneous and strongly heterogeneous data in the BR dataset. The results prove that the proposed algorithm can reduce the usage of boxes.

Abstract	Multiple enzyme-triggered cascade biocatalytic reactions are vital in vivo or vitro, considering the basic biofunction preservation in living organisms and signals transduction for biosensing platforms. Encapsulation of such enzymes into carrier endows a sheltering effect and can boost catalytic performance, although the selection and preparation of an appropriate carrier is still a concern. Herein, focusing on MAF-7, a category of metal azolate framework (MAF) with superiority against the topologically identical ZIF-8, this enzyme@MAF system can ameliorate the sustainability of encapsulating natural enzymes into carriers. The proposed biocatalyst composite AChE@ChOx@MAF-7/hemin is constructed via one-pot in situ coprecipitation method. Subsequently, MAF-7 is demonstrated to exhibit an excellent capacity of the carrier and protection against external factors in the counterpart of ZIF-8 through encapsulated and free enzymes. In addition, detections for specific substrates or inhibitors with favorable sensitivity are accomplished, indicating that the properties above expectation of different aspects of the established platform are successfully realized. This biofunctional composite based on MAF-7 can definitely provide a potential approach for optimization of cascade reaction and enzyme encapsulation.

Abstract	Objectives: Analyse the effect of varying start times for early exercise interventions on the prevention of intensive care unit-acquired weakness. Research methodology: We conducted a comprehensive search on PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, China Biology Medicine Disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang Database, and reference lists up to May 2023. Setting: We systematically searched the literature for all randomized controlled trials on the effect of early mobilization in patients with critical illness. Main outcome measures: The primary outcome assessed was the incidence of intensive care unit-acquired weakness. The secondary outcomes included: the Medical Research Council Score, the Barthel Index, duration of mechanical ventilation, length of intensive care unit stay, total length of hospital stay, mortality and incidence of intensive care unit-related complications. Results: The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with routine care, less than 24 hours after admission (RR = 0.44, 95 %CI: 0.28-0.68), more than 24 hours (RR = 0.33, 95 %CI: 0.16-0.67), less than 72 hours after admission (RR = 0.33, 95 %CI: 0.20-0.52) may lead to a lower incidence of intensive care unit-acquired weakness. The results of under surface cumulative ranking showed that early mobilization within 72 hours may have the lowest incidence of intensive care unit-acquired weakness (SUCRA = 81.9 %). Conclusions: The current empirical evidence from intensive care unit patients suggests that initiating mobilization protocols within 24-72 hours timeframe following admission to the intensive care unit could potentially be the most beneficial strategy to reduce the incidence of intensive care unit-acquired weakness and the related medical complications. Moreover, this strategy seems to significantly improve rehabilitation and treatment outcomes for these patients. Implications for clinical practice: According to this study, medical and nursing staff in the intensive care unit have the chance to identify the most suitable timing for the implementation of early rehabilitative measures for patients. This can potentially prevent intensive care unit-acquired weakness and enhance various clinical outcomes for patients.

Abstract	Sunlight-driven photocatalytic filters against pathogenic bioaerosols have attracted a lot of interest. However, developing an efficient interception system that shows enhanced visible-light harvesting, controllable charge dynamic, and boosted ROS generation remains a grand challenge. Here, we designed an ionic ZIF-8@iCOF nanocomposite as a sunlight-driven photocatalytic filter through elaborate structural engineering of the heterointerface between ZIF-8 and cationic iCOF layers. The photoactive experiments reveal significant improvements in the visible light absorption and sunlight-driven exciton-enhanced intersystem crossing to boost the generation of singlet oxygen (220%) and also obtain antibacterial efficiency of 99.99999% after 15 min irradiation. After combining with commercial polymer, resultant ZIF-8@iCOF/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibrous membranes exhibited high interception efficiency for both PM
