    Abstract In rural areas, the aging of households is becoming increasingly severe, and the issue of dietary imbalance among the elderly is becoming increasingly prominent. Using data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), the negative binomial regression method was used to investigate the impact of household income level on dietary imbalance among rural elderly people, and to explore the heterogeneity of household income structure and its role in the relationship between the two. Research has found that an increase in total household income significantly improves the dietary quality of rural elderly people, and the income structure variable enhances its negative pulling effect on dietary imbalance. For elderly people with moderate dietary imbalance, the effect of increased family income is most significant. In different income groups, the impact of total household income on dietary imbalance in the high-income group is greater than that in the low-income group, and there is also a significant difference in the role played by the proportion of net income from agricultural operations. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the non working income of the elderly, strengthen social responsibility for elderly care, and alleviate the problem of dietary imbalance among rural elderly people.

    Abstract China's rural residents have basically solved the problem of subsistence, but due to aging, the prevalence of sarcopenia (abbreviated as sarcopenia) has been increasing year by year, especially the skeletal muscle health of the rural older residents has not been sufficiently paid attention to, so analyses of the impact of income level on the skeletal muscle health of the older people in rural areas of China are of great practical significance. Based on the annual data of the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) in 2006, 2009, and 2011, we introduced the mediator variable of dietary knowledge and used the Probit model regression, mediation effect model, and instrumental variable regression to assess the skeletal muscle health status of the rural older people in China and explore the mechanism of the influence of the income level on the skeletal muscle health of the rural older residents in China. The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact of income level on the skeletal muscle health status of older adults living in rural areas of China and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. By analyzing the findings of this study, our aim is to establish a correlation between the economic status and skeletal muscle health of older adults in rural communities, as well as elucidate the influence of income level and dietary knowledge on their skeletal muscle health. Through the attainment of these objectives, we hope to provide valuable insights and recommendations for enhancing skeletal muscle health among the rural older population in China. Based on our research findings, it can be inferred that there was a significant association between the financial status of rural older adults and their skeletal muscle health. Additionally, the prevalence of sarcopenia was lower among individuals with higher income levels, and there was a negative correlation between the prevalence of sarcopenia and the level of dietary knowledge among rural older individuals. The knowledge of dietary knowledge level of rural older people plays a mediating role in the income level and the prevalence of sarcopenia. Moreover, with the change in income level and the increase in age, the change in skeletal muscle health status showed obvious heterogeneity, in which the effect on the relatively younger (65-70 years old) samples was greater. Therefore, sustained income growth remains an effective way to improve the skeletal muscle health of older rural residents. At the same time, improving dietary knowledge and dietary quality among the older people is important in preventing a decline in muscle strength and physical function and in preventing the onset of sarcopenia.

    Abstract Vertical integration is conducive to the realization of complementary interests and sustainable development of pig industry. The outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) in 2018 has disrupted many activities along pig industry chain in China. The production capacity of breeding pigs has dropped rapidly, and the supply of pig is tight. The vertical integration of pig industry chain is the main driving force to ensure food supply. Based on the data of 12 listed pig companies from 2012 to 2019, we examine the ways and reasons for vertical integration of pig companies when external shocks increase by taking ASF as an example, breakpoint regression and Tobit model are used to analyze differences and determinants of the forward and backward integration of pig industry chain under ASF. The empirical results showed that the forward integration of the feed processing link and slaughter circulation link is higher than the backward integration. ASF had different effects on the vertical integration degree of each link. ASF promoted forward integration. The main factors have different influences on the vertical integration of pig industry in China. Forward integration increased mainly depending on previous asset specificity, legal system environment, market demand, and transaction frequency. The findings of the study imply that pig industry chain is taking the forward integration to cope with the ASF shock. The combination of feed link and breeding link reduces feed cost and ensures pig supply. Pig companies tend to reduce transaction costs by strengthening the control of downstream supply.

    Abstract This study explores the relationship between capability reconfiguration and firm innovation performance by analyzing a sample of 375 manufacturing firms in China. The results suggest that the relationship between capability reconfiguration and innovation performance is affected by both the catch-up stage and the mode of capability reconfiguration (evolution or substitution). The catch-up stage of enterprises significantly impacts the moderating effects of innovation magnitude on the relationship between capability substitution and firm innovation performance, however, it has no obvious effects on the moderation of innovation magnitude on the relationship between capability evolution and innovation performance. This study contributes to the theory of dynamic capability and catch-up by revealing how innovation magnitude affects capability reconfiguration and subsequent innovation performance in different catch-up stages. The implication of this study is to remind managers to take full account of the innovation magnitude and catch-up stage in their decision-making.

    Abstract The pig industry is primarily a domestic industry in China is focused on ensuring the domestic pork supply. This paper analyzed changes in Chinese pork imports following the outbreaks of African Swine Fever (ASF) and COVID-19 between January 2017 to November 2020 and evaluated the impact of imported pork on the development of the swine industry in China. The results demonstrated that the shortage of domestic pork supply changed the import volume. ASF transformed imported pork from a complementary product to meet the diversified needs of domestic consumers into a critical substitute required to fill the supply gap. Following the COVID-19 outbreak, the substitution effect of imported pork decreased. ASF, has caused the supply capacity of pork in China to decrease, the price of pork to increase, leading to increased pork import in January 2019. At the end of 2019, pig slaughter decreased, while China cut tariffs on imported pork. The COVID-19 outbreak did not reduce China's pork imports in China, which declined after the global COVID-19 outbreak. Imported pork has made up for the supply gap during COVID-19, not impacting the level of production of the swine industry in China.

    Abstract With the development of aerospace technology, the increasing population of space debris has posed a great threat to the safety of spacecraft. However, the low intensity of reflected light and high angular velocity of space debris impede the extraction. Besides, due to the limitations of the ground observation methods, small space debris can hardly be detected, making it necessary to enhance the spacecraft's capacity for space situational awareness (SSA). Considering that traditional methods have some defects in low-SNR target detection, such as low effectiveness and large time consumption, this paper proposes a method for low-SNR streak extraction based on local contrast and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), which can detect space objects with SNR 2.0 efficiently. In the proposed algorithm, local contrast will be applied for crude classifications, which will return connected components as preliminary results, and then MLE will be performed to reconstruct the connected components of targets via orientated growth, further improving the precision. The algorithm has been verified with both simulated streaks and real star tracker images, and the average centroid error of the proposed algorithm is close to the state-of-the-art method like ODCC. At the same time, the algorithm in this paper has significant advantages in efficiency compared with ODCC. In conclusion, the algorithm in this paper is of high speed and precision, which guarantees its promising applications in the extraction of high dynamic targets.

    Abstract As the star sensor works under high dynamic conditions, the spot formed by the star on the imaging plane will become a tail, which directly reduces the accuracy of centroid positioning. In addition, the imaging quality of the star sensor is seriously hit by the rolling shutter effect in the rolling shutter exposure mode, which further increases positioning error. Considering the diffusion radius and the dynamic tailing of the star spot, the imaging trajectory and the energy distribution models of the star spot under the rolling shutter exposure mode are established in this paper. Furthermore, based on the purposed models, the influence of the starting positions of stars and the dispersion of star spots to the centroid positioning error are analyzed by numerical simulation respectively, from which the variation laws of the two kinds of errors are obtained. Then, the laboratory experiments are implemented to evaluate the latter error; it indicates from the experimental results that the variation of the latter error is consistent with the simulation results, which is simultaneously proved that it cannot be ignored in practical engineering application. These results can be a valuable reference for developing a high precision star sensor. The models proposed in this paper can describe the star imaging process and evaluate the centroid positioning accuracy under the roller shutter exposure mode effectively, which lays a foundation for further eliminating the rolling shutter effect in the following research and improving the dynamic performance of star sensors.

    Abstract The calibration method based on integrated modeling with intrinsic and extrinsic parameters is widely used for star sensors. However, the unified optimization of parameters results in the coupling between intrinsic and extrinsic parameters in this method, further influencing the calibration accuracy of the intrinsic parameters and causing certain limitations for the practical applications involving precise extrinsic parameters. A novel calibration method for star sensors with separation of intrinsic and extrinsic parameters is proposed in this paper to solve the issue. Firstly, the coupling form of intrinsic and extrinsic parameters in the integrated calibration model is analyzed, and the coupling degree is analyzed through the partial correlation coefficient (PCC). Then, on the basis of the analysis results, combined with the applications of star sensors in satellites and missiles, the extrinsic parameters coupled with the intrinsic parameters are separated individually, and the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters without coupling are optimized nonlinearly as a whole. The experimental results verify the validity of the proposed method.

    Abstract The hog industry is the core industry in the field of agriculture and animal husbandry in China, which development is related to the improvement of people's quality of life. The production of the hog industry has been restricted by environmental regulations, which needs to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Based on the data of 29 provinces from 2008 to 2019, this paper aims to use the stochastic frontier analysis method to calculate the cost efficiency of fattening pigs, sows, and piglets in three stages of pig production and focuses on the impact of environmental regulation policies on cost efficiency. The study found that the cost efficiency of fattening pigs, sows, and piglets in China were 0.77, 0.79, and 0.53, respectively, and the efficiency losses were 23%, 21%, and 47%, respectively. The impact of environmental regulation policies on the cost efficiency of fattening pigs showed an ' N ' trend, and the impact on the cost efficiency of sows and piglets showed an inverted ' N ' trend. For fattening pigs, increasing the intensity of environmental regulation, and exceeding the second inflection point of the ' N ' curve can achieve the dual goals of environmental governance and cost reduction and efficiency increase. For sows, reducing the intensity of environmental regulation appropriately can avoid cost-efficiency loss. For piglets, environmental regulation policies have not effectively incentives the cost efficiency of piglets. In addition, raising the level of technology investment in fattening pigs and sows can achieve cost efficiency gains, and can farmers use emerging financial product tools such as ' insurance + futures ' to avoid market risks and efficiency losses.

    Abstract To explore the epidemic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of dengue patients in Zhejiang and the possible mechanism. Epidemic, clinical and laboratory data of 231 dengue patients admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Traditional Chinese Medicine University between August 2017 and December 2019 were collected. GSE43777 dataset was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and was used for the immune cell infiltration analysis, logistic regression analysis, and nomogram construction. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to explore the possible regulatory pathways in dengue infection. Further, the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and decision curve analysis were conducted to evaluate the value of related immune cells in predicting dengue severity. Among the 231 patients, the gender ratio was 1:1.1 (male/female). The patients in the <60 years age group, 60 to 80 years age group, and >80 years age group were 47.2%, 45.5%, and 7.3%, respectively. The major symptoms were fever (100%), weak (98.3%), anorexia (76.6%), muscle and joint pain (62.3%), and nausea (46.8%). In dengue patients, 98.7% of serum samples had decreased platelet levels, 96.5% of them had decreased white blood cell (WBC) levels, 97.8% had elevated aspartate aminotransferase levels, 82.3% had elevated lactate dehydrogenase levels, 49.4% had increased creatinine levels, and 35.5% had increased creatine kinase levels. Pneumonia, pleural effusion, and bilateral pleural reaction were observed in 16.5%, 8.2%, and 4.8%, respectively of dengue patients. Gallbladder wall roughness and splenomegaly accounted for 6.1% and 4.3% of all cases. Moreover, the levels of T cell, B cell, and dendritic cells were significantly higher in the convalescent group and they were involved in immune- and metabolism-related pathways. Of note, low levels of these 3 immune cells correlated with high dengue infection risk, while only dendritic cells exhibited satisfactory performance in predicting dengue severity. Dengue fever patients often onset with fever, accompanied by mild abnormalities of the blood system and other organ functions. Moreover, T cells, B cells, and dendritic cells might be involved in dengue infection and development.
