AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the distribution of 1432 beautiful leisure villages in China using various spatial analysis methods, revealing significant regional differences.
- Findings showed that the average commuting time to these villages was 197.24 minutes, with over 42% of trips exceeding 2 hours, particularly challenging in areas like the Qinghai Tibet Plateau.
- The research highlighted a strong correlation between the accessibility of the leisure villages and their surrounding areas, indicating a clear west-to-east gradient in service availability, influenced by factors like topography and economic conditions.
Article Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the spatial distribution characteristics of 1432 beautiful leisure villages in China using econometric geography and spatial geographic information system analysis methods, such as nearest distance index, K index, and nuclear density. We also used the grid cost weighted distance algorithm to determine the spatial accessibility of beautiful leisure villages and the overall accessibility of county units. In addition, our evaluations determined the spatial differences in county accessibility using exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA). Our results showed that the spatial distribution of the beautiful leisure villages in China could be best described using the cohesion type classification and that there were large differences in their distribution between provinces and economic regions. The average accessibility time of beautiful leisure villages was 197.24 min with only 57.19% of these commutes being less than 2 h, and only 17.88% being less than 30 min. The area with the longest accessibility time was located on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, at up to 1510.03 min. The spatial distribution of accessibility showed obvious traffic directivity producing a positive Moran I value for most counties. There was also a significant positive correlation between the accessibility of beautiful leisure villages and their adjacent areas, and clear patterns of hot spots-sub-hot spots-sub-cold spots-cold spots from east to west. The overall service scope of beautiful leisure villages was characterized by west > east > middle, with topography, population, economy, and location acting as the major factors in the spatial distribution of these beautiful leisure villages in China.

The scientific establishment of the Ecological Security Pattern (ESP) is crucial for fostering the synergistic development of ecological and recreational functions, thereby enhancing urban ecological protection, recreational development, and sustainable growth. This study aimed to propose a novel method of constructing ESP considering both ecological and recreational functions, and to reconstruct ESP by weighing the relationship between ecological protection and recreational development. Utilizing Fuzhou City as a case study, a comprehensive application of methodologies including Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA), landscape connectivity analysis, ArcGIS spatial analysis, social network analysis (SNA), and circuit theory is employed to develop both the ESP and the Recreational Spatial Pattern (RSP).

Background: Obesity could compromise people's health and elevate the risk of numerous severe chronic conditions and premature mortality. Young adults are at high risk of adopting unhealthy lifestyles related to overweight and obesity, as they are at a phase marked by several significant life milestones that have been linked to weight gain. They gain weight rapidly and excess adiposity mostly accrues, compared with middle-aged and older adults when weight stabilizes or even decreases.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how steel slag can be used as a substrate for rooting cuttings, aiming to create a mixed substrate that utilizes solid waste effectively while replacing traditional cutting substrates.
- Various substrates with 10% to 40% steel slag were analyzed for their physical and chemical properties, and their effects on rooting 'Red Beauty' cuttings were compared to conventional substrates (peat and perlite).
- Results indicated that the 20% steel slag substrate (T) yielded superior root growth and development, having the highest performance in several metrics, while also showing better properties such as higher pH and conductivity compared to traditional substrates.

Article Synopsis
- Orthorexia Nervosa (ON) is characterized by an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating, but it lacks formal diagnostic criteria, prompting this study to examine its prevalence among female football players in Poland, Turkey, and India.* -
- The research involved 142 participants and utilized various statistical methods to assess the relationship between socio-cultural attitudes, social media usage, and the risk of ON, finding nearly 50% of athletes at risk, particularly among Indian players.* -
- The study concluded that while socio-cultural factors and media influence ON risk, psychological aspects and individual behaviors may be more significant, emphasizing the need for targeted educational interventions.*
