Lightweight graph convolutional network with multi-attention mechanisms for intelligent action recognition in online physical education by Yuhao You

“…Existing action recognition models are often computationally intensive and struggle to generalize across diverse skeletal patterns. To address this, we propose a lightweight graph convolutional network (GCN) that integrates an improved Ghost module with multi-attention mechanisms, including a global attention mechanism (GAM) and a channel attention mechanism (CAM), to enhance spatial and temporal feature extraction. …”

Park proximity, housing characteristics, and self-reported health among older adults in China by Haowen Jia

“…Heterogeneity analyses reveal that the health association is stronger among younger older adults (those under age 70), among men, and among urban residents, highlighting the role of mobility, behavior patterns, and infrastructural context. These findings underscore the importance of considering spatial and residential contexts in understanding health disparities in aging populations and offer implications for promoting inclusive and age-friendly urban design.…”

Esterno, interno-esterno, interno. Case villaggio e spazi transizionali by Antonio De Rossi

“… This reflection, starting from the famous phrase from Leon Battista Alberti’s De re ædificatoria, which describes the city as a large house and the house as a small city, suggests a connection between domestic and urban spaces that goes beyond mere analogy, instead resembling a fractal continuity of spatial configurations. This concept is explored through the analysis of historic settlements in the Western Italian Alps, where common patterns are observed between rooms, buildings, and entire settlements. …”

Interpretation of Historic Urban Landscape Genes: A Case Study of Harbin, China by Jianqiao Sun, Long Shao

“…The results indicate that: (1) The historic urban landscape genes are comprised of explicit landscape pattern genes; street and alley texture genes; architectural appearance genes; and implicit human settlement culture genes, industrial culture genes, historical culture genes, and spiritual culture genes. (2) The evolutionary traits of Harbin’s historic urban landscape genes manifest in several ways: the evolution of its landscape pattern genes, featuring “three-tiered terraces, balanced spatial arrangement, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and fan-shaped radial layout”; the evolution of its street and alley texture genes, exhibited through “a blend of Chinese and Western styles, sprawling and interconnected, unit linkage, and multi-dimensional intersections”; the evolution of its architectural style genes, marked by “diverse styles, a harmonious fusion of Chinese and Western elements, grouped interdependence, and adaptation to the times”; the evolution of its human settlement culture genes, highlighted by “a secluded lifestyle, diverse customs, and the coexistence of Chinese and Western cultures”; the evolution of its historical culture genes, distinguished by “unity in diversity and multicultural differentiation”; and the evolution of its spiritual culture genes, characterized by “pluralistic beliefs and inclusiveness”. (3) The essential difference between historic urban landscape genes and other genes lies in their adaptive evolution in response to environmental changes over generations and their ability to reveal the influence mechanisms among genes, between genes and landscape features, and between genes and the environment. …”
