Coupling relationship between land use transition and rural transformation development: A case study of county-level regions in Jiangsu Province by GE Dazhuan, WANG Rumin, LU Xiaoxue

“…[Methods] This paper took the county-level administrative regions in Jiangsu Province as an example from 2000 to 2020, analyzed the theoretical framework of the coupling relationship between land use transition and rural transformation development, and applied the coupling coordination and VAR model to explore their spatial and temporal evolution characteristics and interaction mechanism. [Results] (1) During the study period (2000-2020), the land use transition and rural transformation development development in counties of Jiangsu Province presented a pattern of evolving from low-speed heterogeneity to high-speed homogeneity, characterized by the macroscopic features of leading in some local areas and an orderly gradient improvement. (2) The coupling relationship of land use transition and rural transformation development in Jiangsu Province had undergone two stages: Transition from the province’s imbalance to partial low coupling, then from low coupling to high coupling. …”

Predicting Financial Distress through Ranking Working Capital Management Components Using Random Forest Algorithm by Pouya Sadeghi, Daryush Farid, Hamid Reza Mirzaei, Abolfazl Dehghani

“…Subsequently, the predictive power of 7 key working capital management components in forecasting financial distress was tested using Python software and the random forest algorithm.The random forest method is based on ensemble learning, wherein the data are split into training and testing sets. During the learning phase, the model attempts to identify the inherent pattern or the relationship between the dependent variable (financial distress) and each explanatory variable (working capital management components) with the validity of this learning measured by the testing data. …”
