    Abstract Though largely ignored by educators and researchers, boredom, an aversive emotion, is the hurdle for many translation learners to be professional. It is all the more important to unpack the boredom factors of Chinese foreign language major students in translation classes, which will serve in promoting students' engagement in L2 classes and translator cultivation. By using a sequential mixed approach, this study conducted a thematic analysis and built a structural equation model. Quantitative data were gleaned from 483 foreign major college students in China and qualitative data were selected from students (

    Abstract Objective: To systematically review the effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) for shoulder pain after stroke.
    Data sources: A systematic review of Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, SinoMed, WanFang Data, VIP, and ClinicalTrials.gov from the establishment of the database to 20 December 2022 was carried out.
    Review methods: The bibliography was screened to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that applied extracorporeal shock waves to shoulder pain after stroke. Two researchers independently searched, screened, and extracted data from each database according to the search strategy and resolved any disagreements through negotiation.
    Results: A total of 18 RCTs were included (1248 individuals). Meta-analysis showed that the ESWT group had better visual analogue scale (VAS) scores (mean difference (MD) =  - 1.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) [ - 1.43, - 0.95],
    Conclusion: The ESWT improves pain levels, motor function, active mobility, comprehensive function of shoulder, and activities of daily living (ADL) better than conventional treatment in patients with shoulder pain after stroke.

    Abstract Arable land is the lifeblood of food production, it is of great significance to promote the protection of arable land and ensure national food security by accurately understanding the change law of cultivated land and its driving mechanism. This study takes the Weibei dry plateau region of China as an example, explores its spatial and temporal change characteristics through the center of gravity shift and land use shift matrix, and couples the geographic probe model to reveal the driving mechanisms affecting arable land change. The results show that in the past 25 years, the total arable land area in the Weibei Dry Plateau Region of China has decreased by 5.58%, and the stability of arable land resources in the whole region has weakened. The center of gravity of arable land shifts to the northeast, and the standard deviation ellipse of arable land mainly undergoes the change process of "increase (1995-2015)-decrease (2015-2020)", and the spatial distribution of arable land tends to be dispersed. In the LISA frequency mapping, the proportion of stable constant and low-frequency areas is as high as 89.58%, and the spatial pattern of cultivated land is relatively stable. Medium and high frequency areas. The transformation mode is mainly "low-low" aggregation, "low-high" aggregation is not significant, and the decline of cultivated land in the study area is more obvious. In the past 25 years, a total of 1017.26 km

    Abstract In recent years, point cloud-based 3D object detection has seen tremendous success. Previous point-based methods use Set Abstraction (SA) to sample the key points and abstract their features, which did not fully take density variation into consideration in point sampling and feature extraction. The SA module can be split into three parts: point sampling, grouping and feature extraction. Previous sampling methods focus more on distances among points in Euclidean space or feature space, ignoring the point density, thus making it more likely to sample points in Ground Truth (GT) containing dense points. Furthermore, the feature extraction module takes the relative coordinates and point features as input, while raw point coordinates can represent more informative attributes, i.e., point density and direction angle. So, this paper proposes Density-aware Semantics-Augmented Set Abstraction (DSASA) for solving the above two issues, which takes a deep look at the point density in the sampling process and enhances point features using onefold raw point coordinates. We conduct the experiments on the KITTI dataset and verify the superiority of DSASA.

    Abstract Network pharmacology (NP) provides a new methodological perspective for understanding traditional medicine from a holistic perspective, giving rise to frontiers such as traditional Chinese medicine network pharmacology (TCM-NP). With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, it is key for NP to develop network-based AI methods to reveal the treatment mechanism of complex diseases from massive omics data. In this review, focusing on the TCM-NP, we summarize involved AI methods into three categories: network relationship mining, network target positioning and network target navigating, and present the typical application of TCM-NP in uncovering biological basis and clinical value of Cold/Hot syndromes. Collectively, our review provides researchers with an innovative overview of the methodological progress of NP and its application in TCM from the AI perspective.

    Abstract The purpose of the present study is to predict and draw up non-grain cultivated land (NCL) susceptibility map based on optimized Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) metaheuristic algorithm. In order to, a total of 184 NCL areas were identified based on historical records, and a total of 16 NCL susceptibility conditioning factors (NCLSCFs) were considered, based on both a systematic literature survey and local environmental conditions. The results showed that the XGBoost model optimized by PSO performed well in comparison to other machine learning algorithms; the values of sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and AUC are 0.93, 0.89, 0.88, 0.93, and 0.96, respectively. Slope, rainfall, fault density, distance from fault and drainage density are most important variables. According to the results of this study, the use of meta-innovative algorithms such as PSO can greatly enhance the ability of machine learning models.

    Abstract Introduction: DNA integration is a key factor limiting the marketing of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene edited crops. Several strategies have been established to obtain transgene-free gene edited plants; however, these strategies are usually time-consuming, technically difficult, providing low mutagenesis efficiency, and/or including a narrow host range.
    Method: To overcome such issues, we established a paraquat resistant 1 (PAR1)-based positive screening (PARS) strategy, which achieved efficient screening of transgene-free gene edited plants.
    Results: With PARS, the screening efficiency of mutant increased by 2.81-fold on average, and approximately 10% of T1 plants selected via PARS were transgenefree. Moreover, heritable transgene-free mutations at target loci were identified in the T1 generation.
    Discussion: Based on the previous reports and our data, we know that paraquat is toxic to all green plants, PAR1 is conserved among all plant species tested, and the transient expression of Cas9 editor can produce transgene-free gene edited plants. Thus, we assume that the PARS strategy established here has the potential to be widely used to screen transgene-free mutants in various crops using diverse CRISPR/Cas9 delivery approaches.

    Abstract Jasmonic acid (JA) is a crucial phytohormone that regulates plant immunity. The endogenous JA level is determined by the rates of its biosynthesis and catabolism in plants. The activation of JA biosynthesis has been well documented; however, how plants repress JA catabolism upon pathogen infection remains elusive. In this study, we identified and characterized Botrytis cinerea-induced F-box protein 1 (BFP1) in Arabidopsis. The expression of BFP1 was induced by B. cinerea in a JA signaling-dependent manner, and BFP1 protein was critical for plant defense against B. cinerea and plant response to JA. In addition, BFP1 overexpression increased plant defenses against broad-spectrum pathogens without fitness costs. Further experiments demonstrated that BFP1 interacts with and mediates the ubiquitination and degradation of jasmonic acid oxidases (JAOs, also known as jasmonate-induced oxygenases, JOXs), the enzymes that hydroxylate JA to 12OH-JA. Consistent with this, BFP1 affects the accumulation of JA and 12OH-JA during B. cinerea infection. Moreover, mutation of JAO2 complemented the phenotypes of the bfp1 mutant. Collectively, our results unveil a new mechanism used by plants to activate immune responses upon pathogen infection: suppressing JA catabolism.

    Abstract To address the problem of serious soil erosion on the Loess Plateau, under the conditions of limited vegetation measures, the runoff erosion characteristics and erosion sediment sorting characteristics of vegetation at different positions on the upper slope of convex hillslopes are investigated, and the optimal vegetation spatial pattern is proposed according to the benefits of water storage and sediment reduction at different vegetation positions. The fluctuation degree of flow discharge per unit area of different vegetation spatial patterns is small, and the variation process of sediment discharge per unit area of each vegetation spatial pattern fluctuated sharply with the increase of runoff time. After planting vegetation on the slope, the total runoff yield and sediment yield were reduced. The runoff yield reduction benefit was 19.65% when the grass belt was 6 m away from the slope top; and the sediment yield reduction benefit was more than 70% when the grass belt was 2 m away from the slope top. Under the condition of hydraulic erosion on the slope covered with vegetation, the erosion particles are mainly fine particles, with high silt content and relatively small sand content. The farther the vegetation is arranged from the slope top, the more easily silt of size 0.002-0.05 mm is eroded. The higher effectiveness in terms of reductions of both runoff and sediment yields were obtained when the vegetation is planted in the proximity of the end of the length of the slope.
