Summary: Improving industrial green competitiveness is crucial in addressing resource scarcity and environmental degradation during the process of ecological civilization development. This study evaluates the green competitiveness of 33 industrial sub-sectors in China from 2002 to 2017 using the direction distance function and the global Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index. It identifies critical factors influencing industrial green competitiveness using the rough set theory and investigates how these factors impact different categories of industrial sub-sectors using the fuzzy artificial neural network. The findings highlight the importance of research and development intensity, environmental regulation, and enterprise scale in achieving industrial green competitiveness.

Summary: There has been a growing interest in the development of lattice-valued rough set theory in recent years. This framework includes various types of rough sets, such as intuitionistic, interval-valued, neutrosophic, and Pythagorean fuzzy rough sets. Additionally, representations of fuzzy rough approximation operators based on a completely distributive lattice are provided, extending the existing results for the case when the lattice is [0,1]. It is shown that the representations of intuitionistic and interval-valued fuzzy rough approximation operators proposed by Zhou and Sun are special cases of the proposed representations.

Summary: This paper summarizes the classic monographs, national industry logistics standards, journals, and papers in the chemical logistics industry. By combining questionnaire surveys, 22 performance evaluation indicators were selected and established from four aspects: service level, financial cost, technical infrastructure and resources, and EHS. The operation performance evaluation system of chemical logistics service suppliers in China was established using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process. The empirical analysis shows that the indicator system is scientific and reasonable.

Summary: This paper introduces a new uncertainty modelling concept called strait fuzzy set, which brings new perspectives to fuzzy mathematics. Strait fuzzy sets allow objects/points to be graded with fuzzy membership intervals instead of exact values. The paper also studies the basic operations and properties of strait fuzzy sets, introduces the concept of strait fuzzy rough set, and proposes similarity approaches for measuring similarity rates of vaccines against influenza viruses.

Summary: In this paper, a new type of L-fuzzy generalized neighborhood system is introduced and L-fuzzy rough sets based on it are defined and discussed. The proposed model is verified to be an extension of Pang's generalized neighborhood system-based pessimistic rough sets. The paper also establishes the axiomatic characterizations of the pessimistic L-fuzzy rough sets and presents a reduction theory preserving L-fuzzy approximation operators.

Summary: As a generalization of equivalent class, fuzzy covering makes descriptions of the objective world more realistic, practical and accurate in some cases. In this paper, we establish four kinds of fuzzy probabilistic covering-based rough set, which combine the fuzzy covering-based neighborhood operator and the fuzzy probabilistic rough set, and then obtain the result of their three-way decision.

Summary: In this article, two new rough set models, optimistic and pessimistic multi-granulation double fuzzy rough sets, based on the concept of double fuzzy relations, are introduced and discussed. The study focuses on the lower and upper approximations, which generalize the conventional rough set model. The development of the multi-granulation double fuzzy rough set model is suggested to be significant for the generalization of the rough set model.

Summary: Fuzzy rough sets combined with the concept of self-information are used to construct four uncertainty measures to evaluate the classification ability of attribute subsets. The fourth measure, relative decision self-information, is proven to be better for attribute reduction. A greedy algorithm is designed for attribute reduction, and the effectiveness of the method is validated through experimental results.

Summary: The study established a hierarchical framework for urban residents' approach-avoidance responses to personal carbon trading, finding that respondents could be classified into five response hierarchies and exhibiting demographic differences and influences of psychological factors. Most of the residents with the most avoidance response were young males, older first-line employees, and those on subsistence incomes. Residents with egoistic values, low senses of social responsibility, little knowledge about carbon reductions, and a preference for comfortable life were more likely to avoid the scheme and participation.

Summary: This study explored the cognitive distance, emotional distance, expected distance, and behavioral distance of the Chinese public in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of psychological distance (PD). The study found that the government was the most appealing subject in pandemic prevention and control, but the public's sense of closeness to the government was lower than that of other subjects. Different pandemic regions showed significant differences in PD, with high-risk regions having higher PD mean scores than medium-risk and low-risk regions. No spatial autocorrelation was found in PD globally, but high-value regions with distant PD were mainly in southern regions and low-value regions with close PD were mainly in North China.

Summary: Phenology monitoring is important for understanding forest functioning and climate impacts. This research compares the phenological behavior of European beech forests using Tree-Talker (TT+) and Sentinel 2 satellite data. The study finds differences in the information derived by the two sensor types, particularly in terms of season length, phenology changepoints, and leaf period variability. TT+ with its higher temporal resolution demonstrates precision in capturing the phenological changepoints, especially when satellite image availability is limited.
