Of the most common, hypoxia, overexpressed glutathione (GSH), and insufficient H2O2 concentration in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are the main barriers to the advancment of reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated Xdynamic therapies (X = photo, chemodynamic, chemo). Maximizing Fenton catalytic efficiency is crucial in chemodynamic therapy (CdT), yet endogenous H2O2 levels are not sufficient to attain better anticancer efficacy. Specifically, there is a need to amplify Fenton reactivity within tumors, leveraging the unique attributes of the TME. Herein, for the first time, we design RuxCu1-xO2-Ce6/CPT (RCpCCPT) anticancer nanoagent for TME-mediated synergistic therapy based on heterogeneous Ru-Cu peroxide nanodots (RuxCu1-xO2 Nds) and chlorine e6 (Ce6), loaded with ROS-responsive thioketal (TK) linked-camptothecin (CPT). The Ru-Cu peroxide Nds (RCp Nds, x = 0.50) possess the highest oxygen vacancy (OV) density, which grants them the potential to form massive Lewis’s acid sites for peroxide adsorption, while the dispersibility and targetability of the Nds were improved via surface modification using hyaluronic acid (HA). In TME, RCpCCPT degrades, releasing H2O2, Ru2+/3+, and Cu+/2+ ions, which cooperatively facilitate hydroxyl radical (•OH) formation anddeactivate antioxidant GSH enzymes through a cocatalytic loop, resulting in excellent tumor therapeutic efficacy. Furthermore, when combined with laser treatment, RCpCCPT produces singlet oxygen (1O2) for PdT, which induces cell apoptosis at tumor sites. Following ROS generation, the TK linkage is disrupted, releasing up to 92% of the CPT within 48 h. In vitro investigations showed that laser-treated RCpCCPT caused 81.5% cell death from PdT/CdT and chemotherapy (CT). RCpCCPT in cancer cells produces red-blue emission in images of cells taking them in, which allows for fluorescence image-guided Xdynamic treatment. The overall results show that RCp Nds and RCpCCPT are more biocompatible and have excellent Xdynamic the

The evaluation of enterprise financial performance is of great significance to investors, creditors and managers. Through the performance evaluation, we can judge the comprehensive strength of the enterprise and then take corresponding countermeasures. The study mainly quantifies the three financial performance factors of profitability, operating ability and solvency in segments. At the same time, variables are constructed for the statement subjects other than the performance factors. In addition, an iterative binary tree three-generation algorithm model based on decision coordination degree is introduced to classify and measure the financial performance of enterprises. The study used 528 financial statements from a manufacturing industry and employed a mean imputation strategy and Z-score standardization method for preprocessing. Ultimately, 19 variables were selected for financial performance evaluation. Using the model's construction time, classification accuracy, and area under the curve as evaluation indicators, verify the performance advantages of the proposed model in financial performance evaluation. The results show that when the sample size is 300, the construction time of the improved model is only 120ms, and out of 50 financial statements, only 7 financial statements with "poor" profitability are misclassified as "excellent". The average classification accuracy of the improved model is 87.57% and the average area under the curve is 0.8369. In the solvency test, the average classification accuracy of the improved model in the solvency indicator is 84.21%. In the test of operating capacity indicators, the mean value of classification accuracy of the improved model proposed by the Institute in operating capacity indicators is as high as 85.16%. The results show that the classification model proposed by the Institute has the least construction time and the highest classification accuracy. It provides reliable technical support for the rational allocation of

Amidst the rapidly evolving global economic landscape, the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) have emerged as pivotal players, particularly in the construction sector, which serves as a cornerstone for their continued growth anddevelopment. This sector’s performance not only reflects the economic health of these nations but also their capacity for sustainable urban and infrastructural expansion. This study aims to provide a comprehensive evaluative analysis of the construction industry’s efficiency across the BRICS nations using the Bounded Rationality data Envelopment Analysis (BR-dEA) model, incorporating principles from Prospect Theory. Moreover, this study also investigates the relationship between behavioral economics and operational efficiency within this sector. According to well-known prospect theory, the psychological behavioral coefficients applied in the model include the loss aversion, the gain preference, the gain curvature, and the loss curvature coefficients. Key performance indicators for the model were meticulously chosen, normalized, andderived from reputable global and national databases. The findings revealed that efficiency scores generally increased with higher gain preference coefficients across different loss aversion settings, indicating that valuing gains more positively is associated with greater efficiency. Variations were observed among the BRICS countries, suggesting that efficiency is influenced by country-specific behavioral factors. This study contributes to the literature by integrating behavioral economics into efficiency analysis and offers practical insights for policymakers and industry leaders within the BRICS nations. Limitations are acknowledged, primarily relating to data availability and the inherent complexities of behavioral modeling, which provide avenues for future research to expand upon these initial findings.
