Heritage value is a prerequisite for protecting and utilising traditional villages. In response to the unclear definition of heritage value, this study develops a conceptual model and an indicator system of traditional village heritage value based on cultural ecology. Additionally, the study analyses heritage value using a three-dimensional matrix model and cluster analysis. The results show significant differences in the heritage value of Huizhou traditional villages. High heritage values are mainly distributed in Yi County and She County, while low heritage values are mainly distributed at the edges of the region. Among the diversity, continuity and integrity differences, the integrity difference is the highest, and is reflected in the quality of heritage ontology and the relationship between heritage ontology and the surrounding environment. In addition, four types of Huizhou traditional villages are identified: resource single type, inheritance dilemma type, quality dilemma type, and heritage vitality type. Utilisation strategies are proposed for the four types to guide the classified management of traditional villages.

The preservation of Chinese traditional villages plays a crucial role in promoting the sustainable development of rural natural, cultural, and ecological environments. It is also a key strategy for achieving rural revitalization. Current research on traditional villages predominantly focuses on the realm of cultural landscapes, with an emphasis on preserving the cultural ecological value of these communities.

Invasive breast cancer diagnosis and treatment planning require an accurate assessment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression levels. While immunohistochemical techniques (IHC) are the gold standard for HER2 evaluation, their implementation can be resource-intensive and costly. To reduce these obstacles and expedite the procedure, we present an efficient deep-learning model that generates high-quality IHC-stained images directly from Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained images.

Background: Snakebite is one of the neglected tropical diseases in Uganda affecting rural areas, especially during the rainy season. Households mainly rely on traditional remedies for management, which are not always effective, leading to disability and sometimes death. We explored the knowledge, perceptions and healthcare practices related to snakebites in Kamuli District.

Vernacular architecture, optimized over centuries to create comfortable thermal environments using sustainable design strategies and local materials, can offer valuable insights for contemporary eco-friendly architectural design. This research investigates the sustainable design strategies of vernacular architecture in southwest Hubei, focusing on the First Granary of Xuan'en County as a representative case study. Through field investigations of indoor environments, this study explores how traditional architectural practices have addressed the region's complex mountainous terrain and hot, humid climate.

Background: Ethnobotanical knowledge about plant roles in fisheries is crucial for sustainable resource management. Local ecological knowledge helps understand dynamics of the lake ecosystem. Fishers use plants based on availability and characteristics while adapting to the changes in the environment.
