In particular, middle-aged may have physical mental health problems, participating increase women's positive subjective well-being decrease negative emotions, which improve over the long term. addition, can promote cohesion. Our study aimed to examine relationship between exercise experience of cohesion whether some variables (e.g., age,...

With the relaxation of China’s birth policies and dual independence gained by Chinese women in both mental economic aspects, maternity wear, as an essential item for pregnant women, has enormous design space a growing consumer market, attracting increasing attention from all quarters [1]. However, due to continuous changes womens body shapes fact that most need continue working socializing during early middle stages pregnancy [2], wear short wearing cycle rapid turnover [3] leading current...

This study examined and compared how unsupportive relationships, perceived stress, authentic self-presentation influence loneliness what differences exist between these relationships across urban rural young adults in Taiwan. In total, 356 (188 168 rural) were investigated, partial least squares structural equation modelling was used this study. The results indicated that directly negatively affects the group, but only indirectly group through stress. Unsupportive stress both groups...

Purpose The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is the most comprehensive substantial international cooperation platform, creating a new market influenced by economic political factors. In this paper, authors aim to examine whether how BRI impacts Chinese enterprises' corporate environmental responsibility (CER). Design/methodology/approach Based on China's listed firms' database from 2011 2018, use PSM-DID method, an econometrics method combined with propensity score matching (PSM)...

Poverty alleviation has always been fundamental for China to achieve the goal of creating a moderately prosperous society. This study conducted content-based spatiotemporal analysis media coverage, regression panel data, and text mining examine how China’s Targeted Alleviation (TPA) Strategy is characterised by online mainstream platform. A total 10,857 articles related TPA in 31 specific provinces mainland were collected analysed Natural Language Processing (NLP) analysis. The results this...

Journalism, which provides the public with reliable information, can be perceived to a social service for interest. Modern journalism might evolve into entrepreneurship, focus on creating value amid institutional pressures. Two studies were conducted investigate effects of various factors entrepreneurial intention (SEI) environmental journalists. Study 1, 287 respondents, confirmed factor structures scales that used. 2, 352 five precursors SEI, namely, prior experience, empathy, moral...

The stock price prediction task holds a significant role in the financial domain and has been studied for long time. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have brought new ways to improve these predictions. While recent (FinLLMs) shown considerable progress NLP tasks compared smaller pre-trained (PLMs), challenges persist forecasting. Firstly, effectively integrating modalities of time series data natural fully leverage capabilities remains complex. Secondly, FinLLMs focus more on analysis...

Climate change is intensifying rainfall extremes, making high-resolution precipitation projections crucial for society to better prepare impacts such as flooding. However, current Global Models (GCMs) operate at spatial resolutions too coarse localized analyses. To address this limitation, deep learning-based statistical downscaling methods offer promising solutions, providing with a moderate computational cost. In work, we introduce bias-informed conditional diffusion model of...

Previous studies have focused on the benefits of adaptation in mitigating negative effect climate change economic production, neglecting that adaptive energy input cannot be directly translated into output, which may a barrier to sustainable development. Based panel data from 280 cities China 2003 2016, we first calculate efficiency as proxy for development by using nonradial directional distance function (NDDF) method. Second, estimate temperature shocks, and use these estimates predict...

To investigate the stress mechanism of zinc on wheat, different concentrations were used to treat and ultrastructure mesophyll cells wheat was observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results showed that at tillering stage, number chloroplast decreased, thylakoid cell disorder L4 (1,000 mg/kg). At jointing volume expanded mature under low L1 (250 mg/kg), some disappeared or broke, mitochondrion increased, wall damaged; seriously fractured, structure not intact, decreased...

This paper modeled the evolution of contagious severity stock markets combing with cross-market correlation coefficients, market capitalizations and functions self-remedy into time-varying coefficients epidemic kinetics model. Then we used data United States, Russia, Australia, Brazil, China, India, Hong Kong Japan during 2007-2009 crisis periods for simulated analysis. The result shows that model is alive can describe markets, give economic meanings important parameters.

This study used 2,623 WeChat article headlines on the Chengdu school food safety event and employed quantitative content analysis to explore dynamic relationship of headline strategy (i.e., style frame) news source with user clicks at distinct phases issue–attention cycle. The results first revealed that various types styles affect number based phase, but no single type dominates public attention any phase. Second, reader could be attracted using information singleton detection mode....
