Summary: Using reanalysis and observation data, this study investigates the impact of sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events on air quality in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The study finds that SSW events, especially split SSWs, have a significant impact on atmospheric particulate concentration in the region. The concentration is low before the SSW onset, increases around the SSW onset, and decreases during the SSW decay period. The study also discusses the meteorological conditions during SSWs and their influence on air pollutant levels.

Summary: This study uses high-precision microbarograph data and radar data to analyze the gravity fluctuation characteristics of four convective processes in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The results show that convective cases are accompanied by gravity fluctuations of different time scales. The stronger the convective process, the larger the fluctuation amplitude. The study also found that the gravity wave characteristics can be separated from the background field through wavelet transform, with wave periods mainly concentrated in the range of 15-250 minutes.

Summary: The study found that the cooperation dilemma in air pollution control in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is mainly caused by a lack of willingness for collaborative governance, and the inconsistency in the strength of central government constraints among prefectures. To overcome this dilemma, the central government's best strategy is to apply strict and consistent constraints on city clusters.

Summary: The study analyzes the relationship between the hawk/dove tendency of the U.S. presidents' remarks on North Korea and North Korea's grain production data. It finds that the presidents' attitudes are influenced by North Korea's grain production and fluctuation rate, with increasing production leading to tougher stances and decreasing production leading to more moderate attitudes. The fluctuation rate of grain production in North Korea also affects the moderation of the presidents' statements.

Summary: This paper examines the carbon embodied in China's export trade using multi-region input-output models and international input-output data. It finds that the majority of embodied carbon comes from the secondary industry, with the manufacturing and power sectors playing significant roles. Additionally, the crop and animal production sector has a significant share of embodied carbon in the primary industry, while the transport and storage sector dominates the tertiary industry.

Summary: The study found that the change in export scale is the most influential factor affecting the embodied carbon of China's export trade, followed by carbon emission intensity, and the least impact is from changes in the export structure. The expansion of export scale has caused the growth of trade embodied carbon, while the decline in carbon intensity would slow down the growth of trade embodied carbon.

Summary: This paper studies the multiattribute decision-making problem of the hesitant triangular fuzzy power average (HTFPA) operator. First, the hesitant triangular fuzzy power-weighted average operator (HTFPWA) and the hesitant triangular fuzzy power-weighted geometric (HTFPWG) operator are introduced, their properties analyzed, and special cases discussed. Then, a MADM method based on the HTFPWA operator and the HTFPWG operator is developed, and the results of applying the proposed method to practical problems are illustrated through an example of selecting futures products. Finally, the effectiveness and feasibility of the HTFPA operator are verified through comparative analysis with existing methods.

Summary: As a bridge between enterprises and the government, the logistics association promotes logistics management and resource allocation. However, the association is facing difficulties in effectively uniting the government and enterprises to address market monopolies and incomplete systems. To develop a sustainable governance mechanism for the logistics industry, an evolutionary game model is constructed among the government, associations, and enterprises. The results show that enhancing the association's independence, increasing the government's support, and highlighting the positive social effects of industry independence are crucial for the healthy development of the logistics industry.
