    Abstract Implementing a rural revitalization strategy requires exploring a sustainable rural development path. Promoting sustainable rural construction has become an important issue that urgently needs to be solved. Sustainable countryside is a rural system that can continuously provide high-quality employment, housing, travel, medical care, education, pensions, communication, and other services for local rural residents. It can also continuously provide healthy agricultural products, good ecological products, and cultural tourism experiences for surrounding residents, including sustainable rural industry, sustainable rural environment, and sustainable farmers' lives. Sustainable rural construction is the goal and vision of the implementation for the rural revitalization strategy. This is conducive to solving the issues related to agriculture, rural areas, and rural people, narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas, and promoting the integration of urban and rural development. In recent years, rural revitalization work in Changsha (the capital city of Hunan Province) has been at the forefront of Hunan Province. In 2020, the total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery in the city was 72,219.25 million yuan; the per capita disposable income of rural areas was 34,754.3 yuan, which is 18,169.7 yuan higher than the average level of the whole province; and the income ratio of urban and rural residents was 1.7, which is 0.8 lower than the average level of Hunan Province. Rural infrastructure and public services have been significantly improved, but at the same time, there are also many problems. Based on this, guided by the theory of sustainable development and the theory of the hierarchy of needs, this paper explains the connotation and system composition of sustainable villages in detail. Beginning with the elements of a sustainable rural system, this paper analyzes the common problems and individual characteristics faced by the sustainable development of rural areas in Changsha by means ...

    Abstract This study was performed to explore the association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the risk of overweight/obesity in both children and adolescents. The PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant studies published before July 12, 2022. Studies with data for calculating the odds ratio (OR) of childhood overweight/obesity and ADHD were included. The literature value was assessed by the cross-sectional evaluation criteria proposed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). All analyses were conducted using StataSE 11 and RevMan 5.3 software with random-effects models. This review included a total of 16 studies covering 14,981 cases and 128,916 controls.According to the meta-analysis, children with ADHD had a significant risk for co-occurring overweight and obesity [OR 1.56; 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.32-1.85], especially boys (OR 1.45; 95% CI 1.10-1.90), people in Asia (OR 3.25; 95% CI 1.70-6.21) and Europe (OR 1.85; 95% CI 1.61-2.12), and patients not using medication (OR 1.54; 95% CI 1.22-1.94).ADHD has a significant association with overweight and obesity in both children and adolescents, which may be altered by factors such as geography, gender, and medication use. Timely treatment should be provided to children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD to inhibit the emergence of overweight and obesity.

    Abstract [Objective] The classification of rural settlement development types is crucial for comprehensive and effective village planning. By examining the characteristics of rural resident travel behaviors, this study aimed to categorize rural settlement development types and subsequently propose tailored strategies for rural revitalization. This approach can significantly contribute to the sustainable and holistic development of rural areas. [Methods] This study applied social network analysis to examine the spatial linkage patterns of rural resident travel behaviors in Kekeyiligeng (Ke Town) of Wuchuan County. It also incorporated expert scoring to obtain the weights of various travel frequencies. Subsequently, it used kernel density estimation to study the spatial distribution characteristics of rural settlements within the research area. By measuring the intensity and degree of centrality of these rural settlements, the study was able to identify their development types using the general matrix model. Finally, this study proposed paths of rural revitalization tailored to the specific development types, to foster sustainable growth and development in the region. [Results] The research results show that: (1) Among the daily travel activities of Ke Town residents, socializing comprises the largest share (52%), followed by shopping (26%) and studying (13%), while medical care and work account for similar proportions (4%), and tourism has the smallest share (1%). (2) The connection strength between settlements within Ke Town forms a network structure emanating from the central node represented by the central town. Key factors influencing connection strength include transportation infrastructure, resource endowment, and population size. Settlements with high degree centrality are typically located along transportation routes or in close proximity to the central town. (3) Ke Town’s rural settlements are categorized into five types: suburban integration (20), characteristic protection (9), agglomeration promotion (44), ...

    Abstract Budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has become a model eukaryotic microorganism for targeted genomic manipulation due to its efficient homologous recombination. A few genomic loci, including rDNA, Delta, and Ty1, can be utilized to introduce variable copies of genetic elements into the yeast genome. Here we describe a method that combines in vitro Golden Gate Assembly to assemble one or a complex genetic element in an orderly manner and then integrate it into predetermined multi-copy loci through homologous recombination. Different transformants may contain different copy numbers, which allows the selection of desired levels of target gene expression.

    Abstract A key task in clinical EEG interpretation is to classify a recording or session as normal or abnormal. In machine learning approaches to this task, recordings are typically divided into shorter windows for practical reasons, and these windows inherit the label of their parent recording. We hypothesised that window labels derived in this manner can be misleading for example, windows without evident abnormalities can be labelled `abnormal' disrupting the learning process and degrading performance. We explored two separable approaches to mitigate this problem: increasing the window length and introducing a second-stage model to arbitrate between the window-specific predictions within a recording. Evaluating these methods on the Temple University Hospital Abnormal EEG Corpus, we significantly improved state-of-the-art average accuracy from 89.8 percent to 93.3 percent. This result defies previous estimates of the upper limit for performance on this dataset and represents a major step towards clinical translation of machine learning approaches to this problem.

    Abstract To elucidate the effect of pore structure on bioclogging and seepage flow in bioreactors, we used X-ray computed tomography (X-CT) to investigate the changes in seepage flow of porous media in zeolite, gravel and ceramsite bioreactors with biofilm growth by injecting a non-ionic contrast medium iohexol. Based on the X-CT images using a ball-and-stick model, the highest average pore radius (R‾) and the average pore throat radius (r‾) in the ceramsite column were found under the initial conditions, which facilitated its permeability. The pore and throat of the gravel column were small and homogeneous relatively. Biofilm growth decreased the pore and pore throat in the columns. The total throat area of zeolite, gravel and ceramsite columns declined by 74%, 73% and 79% respectively. The zeolite column had the highest average pore throat, which contributed to its maximum conductivity subsequently after biofilm growth. Further, the fractal dimensions of the pore structure increased with biofilm growth, especially in the zeolite and ceramsite columns. The heterogeneity of the porous media was reinforced by the biofilm growth in the zeolite and ceramsite columns due to their higher heterogeneity initially. We also observed that an increase in heterogeneity of porous medium amplified the preferential flow and flow heterogeneities, especially in the zeolite and ceramsite columns.

    Abstract The fabrication and characterization of single-molecule junctions provide a unique platform to study the physical phenomena of a single molecule, and the electrical characterization enables us to understand the electrical transport properties of a single molecule and guide the fabrication of molecular electronic devices. However, the electrical characterization of single-molecule junctions is sometimes insufficient to extract the structural information on single-molecule junctions, and an alternate method to address this problem is to characterize the mechanical properties of single-molecule junctions. Simultaneous measurement of mechanical and electrical properties can provide complementary information on single molecules to analyze the correlations of their electrical and mechanical properties in the evolution of single-molecule junctions. In this mini-review, we summarize the progress on the simultaneous characterizations of mechanical and electrical properties for single-molecule junctions, and discuss the challenges and perspectives of this research area.

    Abstract Bisphenol A (BPA) is a common environmental endocrine disruptor, and overexposure is a threat to male reproduction. Although studies have confirmed that BPA exposure causes a decrease in sperm quality in offspring, the dosage used, and the underlying mechanism is not clear. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Cuscuta chinensis flavonoids (CCFs) can antagonize or alleviate BPA-induced reproductive injury by analyzing the processes associated with BPA's impairment of sperm quality. BPA and 40 mg/kg bw/day of CCFs were administered to the dams at gestation day (GD) 0.5-17.5. Testicles and serum of male mice are collected on postnatal day 56 (PND56), and spermatozoa are collected to detect relevant indicators. Our results showed that compared with the BPA group, CCFs could significantly increase the serum contents of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and testosterone (T) in males at PND 56, as well as the transcription levels of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) and Cytochrome P450 family 11, subfamily A, and member 1 (CYP11A1). CCFs also significantly inhibit the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reduce oxidative stress, increase mitochondrial membrane potential, and reduce sperm apoptosis. It also has a certain regulatory effect on sperm telomere length and mitochondrial DNA copy number. These results suggest that CCFs can increase reproductive hormone and receptor levels in adult males by regulating the expression of oxidative stress correlated factors, and ultimately mitigate the negative effects of BPA on sperm quality in male mice.

    Abstract Alpha taxonomy is fundamental for many biological fields. Delineation of the species boundary, however, can be challenging in a species complex, where different species share a similar morphology and diagnostic characters may not be available. In this context, integrative approaches that incorporate molecular and morphological data sets, and account for speciation history can be helpful to alpha taxonomy. Different approaches to species delimitation based on different assumptions are complementary and by integrating the results from multiple approaches we can generate a more reliable and objective taxonomic decision. In this study, we applied three molecular approaches to species delimitation and inferred the demographic history based on an isolation with migration model to test a morphologically based taxonomic hypothesis for the Cylindera pseudocylindriformis complex. We discuss the association between genetic divergence and microhabitat specialisation, and further corroborate that C. subtilis sp. nov. is a valid new species by integrating the results from model-based species delimitation and the genealogical divergence index. We argue that genetic endemism can occur at a small geographic scale, even in a winged insect like tiger beetles. Our results also indicated that there may still be undocumented species diversity of Taiwanese Cylindera remaining to be discovered.
