The Bibliometric Analysis of Possibilistic Portfolio Selection Models

Possibility theory is one of the most used uncertainty theories in decision-making. This study aims to examine possibilistic portfolio selection models. In this context, we perform their bibliometric analysis with the Web of Science (WOS) data, using the Bibliometrix, without limiting the timespan. We get many results by analyzing the data of 303 documents, of which timespan is from 1995 to 2023. We see that W. G. Zhang is the most influential author in this field. The paper introducing the possibilistic mean-variance (MV) model is the most influential document in this field. The paper introducing Markowitz’s MV model is the most influential reference. China is the most productive country in this field, whereas The South China University of Technology is the most productive institution in this field. Fuzzy Sets and Systems is the most influential journal in this field. Variance originated from Markowitz’s MV model is the most critical keyword plus in this field. It has also maintained its trend topic position for a long time. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper making a bibliometric analysis of possibilistic portfolio selection models.

Is a soft tissue reinforcing mesh necessary in immediate prosthetic breast reconstruction for early breast cancer in patients with low-volume breast? A single-center, retrospective Chinese clinical study.

It is controversial as to whether soft tissue reinforcement mesh should be used for immediate prosthetic breast reconstruction after nipple-sparing mastectomy for low-volume breast early breast cancer (LVBEBC) in Chinese adult women. We collected data on 89 patients with LVBEBC who underwent such a surgery and divided them into two groups: 39 patients in the totally subpectoral prosthesis-only breast reconstruction group (simple group) and 50 patients in the prosthesis-combined titanium-coated polypropylene mesh (TCPM) group (or the so-called "dual plane" or "mesh-assisted partially subpectoral breast reconstruction group") (combined group). The results demonstrated no difference in operative time, intraoperative bleeding, and postoperative complications between the two groups; however, total drainage volume and extubation time were less and shorter, respectively, in the combined group. The median follow-up time was 18.6months without local recurrence or distant metastasis in both groups. At 24months after surgery, the excellent and good rates of breast reconstruction were higher in the combined group. However, patients' BMI, breast morphology, and breast volume of 300mL or more had an effect on the shape of the reconstructed breast; in addition, in patients with higher BMI, conical breast morphology, and breast volume over 300mL, the shape of the breast was more perfect with the prosthesis combined with TCPM reconstruction.Trial registration: This retrospective study was "retrospectively registered" in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of South China University of Technology of China on March 15, 2022 (No. 2022018) and in the National Medical Research Registry filing system of China ( https://www.medicalresearch.org.cn ) (No. MR-44-22-003618).

Wi-CL: Low-Cost WiFi-Based Detection System for Nonmotorized Traffic Travel Mode Classification

Traffic travel mode identification and classification are crucial for the development of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs). At present, scholars have investigated the classification of motorized and nonmotorized traffic travel in various road environments; however, the classification of walking and bicycle modes in nonmotorized travel has been largely ignored. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate nonmotorized traffic travel and propose a new low-cost nonmotorized traffic travel mode classification system, known as the Wi-Fi classification (Wi-CL) system that uses Wi-Fi signal detectors and the refined characteristics of nonmotorized travel modes. The Wi-CL system includes four modules: data acquisition module, data processing module, feature extraction module, and mode classification module. In the data acquisition module, the proposed system detects the Wi-Fi signals of traffic participants in road environments. In addition, we propose a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) filtering algorithm for hybrid traffic networks that effectively addresses surrounding obstacles and environmental noise. In the feature extraction module, we extract relevant traffic features to construct a mode classification model. Finally, a recurrent neural network (RNN) framework based on the long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm is successfully implemented in the mode classification module for traffic travel mode identification. To validate the effectiveness of the Wi-CL system, extensive experiments were conducted using field data collected by Wi-Fi detectors installed at the South China University of Technology (SCUT). The experimental results show that the proposed RSSI filtering algorithm achieves excellent signal filtering results in real road traffic environments. In addition, the constructed travel speed estimation algorithm outperforms other baseline models in four different scenarios (flat-peak walking, midday peak walking, flat-peak cycling, and midday peak cycling), achieving an overall classification accuracy of 97.92%. In summary, our Wi-CL system is a feasible approach for nonmotorized traffic travel mode classification.

Research on the psychologically restorative effects of campus common spaces from the perspective of health.

Contemporary college students are suffering from increasingly serious psychological health problems, such as attention fatigue, psychological stress and negative emotions. A growing body of evidence has revealed that restorative environment design is conducive to psychological health. As the main choice of venue for students' daily activities, campus common spaces are supposed to be restorative to some extent. Given the above, the author studied 22 common spaces in the South China University of Technology (SCUT) Wushan Campus from the perspective of college students' behavioral patterns based on theories pertaining to restorative environments, then constructed a structural equation model (SEM) analyzing the psychologically restorative effects exerted by the characteristics of campus common spaces upon college students through a scale design and questionnaire survey. With the analysis of 478 valid questionnaires, the research found that the characteristics of campus common spaces with psychologically restorative effects mainly comprise the architectural environment, landscape environment, rest facilities and activity facilities. Among them, the characteristics of activity facilities and the landscape environment have the greatest impact on psychologically restorative effects, accounting for 33 and 30% of the total effects, respectively; they are followed by those of the architectural environment, which accounts for 21% of the total effects; those of the rest facilities have the least impact, accounting for 16% of the total effects. The research also found that the characteristics of campus common spaces can both directly influence college students' psychological recovery and produce psychologically restorative effects mediated by college students' behavioral patterns. The mediation effect of college students' behavioral patterns accounts for approximately 41% of the total effect of psychological restoration, in which the psychologically restorative effect of dynamic exercise behaviors is 2.5 times that of static leisure behaviors. The research reveals how the characteristics of campus common spaces promote the psychological restoration of college students, and it provides inspiration for healthy environment design in campus common spaces.

Preliminary research on the effect of spatial layout on peer academic support relationships in first-year university students: a case study of the school of architecture at SCUT

ABSTRACT Contemporary university curricula increasingly encourage students to develop peer academic support relationships, especially first-year students who are facing the transition from teacher-oriented to self-directed learning. Previous studies have identified spatial layout as a factor impacting peer relationships by comparing the effects of different spatial layout categories. More insights into the quantitative correlation between spatial layout and peer academic support relationships will meaningfully complement the existing findings. This paper therefore uses spatial configuration and spatial proximity as quantitative measures and adopts a quasi-experimental approach to investigate the effects of spatial layout on peer academic support relationships in first-year university students. Data were collected from a sample of first-year students enrolled in the School of Architecture at South China University of Technology. We use longitudinal data to measure and compare the peer academic support relationships as well as the corresponding spatial layout. The results support the importance of the spatial layout of the learning space for the development of peer academic support relationships. In addition, suggestions for university administrators and architects are proposed.

Comparison of single-pore non-liposuction near-infrared laparoscopy with conventional open surgery for axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with early breast cancer: a single-center, small-sample retrospective study

BackgroundThis study aimed to compare the effects of single-pore non-liposuction near-infrared (NIR) endoscopic surgery and traditional open surgery for axillary sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with early breast cancer (EBC).MethodsThe clinical pathological data of 61 patients with EBC who underwent axillary SLNB using indocyanine green (ICG) combined with carbon nanoparticle suspension (CNS) were retrospectively collected. Thirty patients received SLNB through single-pore non-liposuction NIR endoscopic surgery (endoscopic group), and the remaining 31 received SLNB through open-incision surgery (open group). The success rate, operation time, volume of intraoperative bleeding, postoperative axillary drainage, axillary extubation time, and the occurrence of postoperative complications were compared between the groups along with the total number of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs), luminous SLNs, stained SLNs, and the pathological positivity rate of the SLNs.ResultsAll patients underwent SLNB with a 100% success rate. SLNB operation times of the endoscopic group were longer than those of the open group (t = 3.963, P = 0.000), and the volume of axillary drainage was inferior (t = 3.035, P = 0.004). However, there were no differences in the intraoperative bleeding volumes, axillary extubation times, and postoperative complications (P > 0.05). In the Open group, the mean number of SLNs was 5.12 ± 2.16, and the pathological positivity rate was 13.53%; in the Endoscopic group, these numbers were 4.89 ± 1.73 and 12.39%. The mean number of SLNs detected (t = 0.458, P = 0.649) and the pathological positivity rates (χ2 = 0.058, P = 0.810) did not differ between the two groups. All 61 patients were followed for a median of 14.6 months. There were no local recurrences or distant metastases.ConclusionsOur single-center results reveal that single-hole non-liposuction NIR endoscopic axillary SLNB is not inferior to open SLNB and may be an appropriate option for patients with early breast cancer who desire breast preservation with fewer incisions.Trial registrationThis retrospective study was “retrospectively registered” at the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of South China University of Technology (no. 2020105) and in National Medical Research Registration and Archival Information System (https://www.medicalresearch.org.cn, number: MR-44-21-004727).

By investigating the layout and structural design of the library on the Wushan campus of South China University of Technology, distributing questionnaires to users and conducting on-site monitoring, fiunally found out the problems of the library, such as the sound of the upper and lower floors was connected, noise of friction with the ground when walking, keyboard tapping, moving seats, flipping and rummaging books, air conditioning and ventilation equipments and the low voice of speech had a greater impact on users, moreovernear the toilet and the elevator was noisy, the actual measurement of the sound level meter showed that the intermittent noise exceeded 55dB (GB 37488-2019 Hygienic indicators and limits for public places stipulates that the noise limit of the library is 55dB). Based on the above problems, the corresponding renovation measures are put forward, in order to provide technical references for the design and transformation of the acoustic environment of other domestic university libraries.

Preface

The 2022 International Conference on Intelligent Equipment and Data Processing (IEDP 2022) was successfully held on October 21st-23rd, 2022 in Guangzhou, China (virtual conference). IEDP 2022 encouraged exchange of information on frontiers of research in different areas, connected the most advanced academic resources in China and the world, and turned research results into industrial solutions.We had the honor of having invited Prof. Guixiong Liu from South China University of Technology, China to serve as our Conference General Chair. 90 individuals participated in the conference. Divided into three parts, the conference agenda covered keynote speeches, oral presentations, and online Q&A discussion. Firstly, keynote speakers were each allocated 30-45 minutes to hold their speeches. Then in the oral presentations, the excellent papers we had selected were presented by their authors one by one.During the conference, we were honored to invite four sophisticated keynote speakers to address their speeches. Among them, Prof. Wenbing Zhao from Cleveland State University, America delivered a speech on Video-Based Baseball Pitch Type Recognition. During the speech, he reported a preliminary study on video-based pitch type recognition using deep learning. A semi-automated way of building datasets based on publicly available video and pitch information for MLB games was proposed to facilitate the study and the two-stream inflated 3D convolutional neural network (I3D) was used for pitch type recognition. Next, Prof. Ming Jiang from Sun Yat-sen University, China addressed a presentation on Massive MIMO Beam Vector Assignment Based on Deep Learning and Location/Handover Information. In this paper, he proposed to apply the Gaussian anomaly detection (GAD) to improve the system performance, particularly in the handover zone, by exploiting the information of sea lane and locations of the user equipment (UE) and used convolutional deep belief networks (CDBN) and GAD in the further analysis. Their insightful speeches had triggered heated discussion in the third part of the conference. Besides, every participant praised this conference for disseminating useful and insightful knowledge.The proceedings of IEDP 2022 are a compilation of the accepted papers and represent an interesting outcome of the conference. These papers feature but are not limited to the following topics: Intelligent Inspection Technology, Hybrid Intelligent Systems, Integrated Data Terminals, Data Science and Big Data Technology, etc. All the papers have been checked through a rigorous review and process to meet the requirements of publication.We would like to acknowledge all of those who supported IEDP 2022 and made it a great success.
