Relationship between Internet use and offline leisure activities among Chinese older adult people: a moderated mediation model by Shuai Xiang, Qinwen Deng, Boli Chen

“…This study employs the most recent China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS) 2020 cross-sectional data, and the valid sample comprises 8,180 Chinese older adult individuals aged 60 years or older.Results(1) Internet use and offline leisure activities among older adults exhibited a significant positive correlation. (2) Self-perception of aging played a significant positive mediating role between Internet use and offline leisure activities. (3) CBLP significantly and positively moderated the relationship between Internet use and offline leisure activities.ConclusionThe Internet can be an effective tool for addressing the challenges of aging. Active Internet use may lead to more positive age perception and more active offline leisure activities, and efforts should be made to increase the digitization of the aging society. …”

RESEARCH ON ROLLING BEARING FAULT DIAGNOSIS BASED ON MA OPTIMIZATION OF CNN by TIAN LiYong, ZHAO JianJun, YU Ning

“…Aiming at the high dependence of super parameter selection on artificial experience in rolling bearing state identification based on convolution neural network(CNN),a fault diagnosis model(CNN⁃MA)based on mayfly algorithm(MA)was proposed.Firstly,the model used the powerful optimization ability of MA,took the diagnostic accuracy of CNN as the optimization objective,and adaptively adjusted the super parameters in CNN.Secondly,the normalized original signal image set was used to preserve the characteristics of the signal as much as possible.Finally,in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the parameters in the optimization model,compared with the CNN model optimized by particle swarm optimization(PSO)algorithm.The results show that the proposed model has more stable performance,higher recognition accuracy and good anti⁃noise ability.It fully shows the feasibility and reliability of CNN⁃MA model in fault diagnosis of rolling bearings.…”
