Prediction of Urban Construction Land Carbon Effects (UCLCE) Using BP Neural Network Model: A Case Study of Changxing, Zhejiang Province, China by Qinghua Liao, Xiaoping Zhang, Zixuan Cui, Xunxi Yin

“…The results demonstrate that the BP neural network model effectively predicts the different types of UCLCE, with an average error rate of 30.10%. (1) The total effect and intensity effect exhibit different trends in the study area, and a carbon effect table for different types of UCL is established. (2) The spatial distribution characteristics of UCLCE reveal a distinct reverse-L pattern (“┙”-shaped layout) with positive spatial correlation (Moran’s I = 0.11, <i>p</i> < 0.001). (3) The model’s core practical value lies in enabling forward-looking assessment of carbon effects in urban planning schemes and precise quantification of emissions reduction benefits. …”

Spatio-temporal evolution and driving factors of the coupling and coordinated development of China's digital economy and older adult care services by Hui Liu, Wei Wang, Sha Li

“…The study analyzes the level of coordinated development between the two using the coupling coordination degree model, and measures the main driving factors using the geographical detector model.Results(1) The overall level of coupling and coordinated development between China's digital economy and older adult care services shows an upward trend, but the growth rate is uneven, exhibiting an “M-shaped” pattern, with rapid growth followed by gradual slowdown, a bottoming-out rebound, and then a continuous decline. (2) There are significant spatial differences in the coupling and coordinated development of China's digital economy and older adult care services. …”
