Published: February 2025

The Tocantins River is crucial for the sustenance of the population in Maranhão; however, despite its significance, the region grapples with environmental degradation due to rapid urban growth. Issues such as deforestation of slopes, intense exploitation of fishery resources, air and water pollution, siltation, dredging, and lack of sanitation contribute to this concern. The study aimed to investigate the environmental perception of riverside dwellers regarding the water quality in the middle Tocantins River through structured questionnaire surveys. Conducted between August and December 2023, the research involved 50 respondents, employing a multimethod approach to integrate quantitative and qualitative data. The affected population comprised riverside families in four questionnaire application points along the middle Tocantins River (P1: Beira Rio – urban area, P2: Bananal village, P3: Embiral village, and P4: Cidelândia village). Notably, 88% of the participants had resided in the area for over 10 years. Additionally, 34% consumed and traded native fish, 62% used them solely for personal consumption, and 4% did not consume them. Furthermore, 84% of participants reported a lack of sewage systems in their residences, underscoring the importance of fishery resources and river water for this population.
Regulação Fundiária na Implantação de Parques Eólicos em Comunidades Tradicionais do Semiárido Baiano
Authors: Rossi Renata Alvarez , Reis Paulo Ricardo da Costa
Published: February 2025

O artigo reflete sobre o recente processo de implantação de parques eólicos em territórios tradicionalmente ocupados por comunidades de fundos de pasto no semiárido baiano com o objetivo de subsidiar a atuação de governos e movimentos sociais no processo de regulação fundiária. Como premissa, o trabalho considera que apesar do suposto consenso que envolve a produção de energias renováveis no atual contexto de crise climática, o que se observa é a abertura de espaços para a acumulação capitalista com efeitos sobre modos de uso da terra e sobre a regulação fundiária. Estruturam essa reflexão os conceitos de acumulação por espoliação e chantagem locacional de investimentos, com ênfase na discussão sobre a perda de controle sobre a terra e o território, a partir de movimentos realizados pelas corporações no contexto da crise climática, particularmente, na direção de países da periferia do capitalismo. A pesquisa se fundamentou em documentos oficiais e dados secundários para produzir uma reflexão crítica sobre a regulação fundiária, particularmente, a partir do reconhecimento da necessidade de atenção à dinâmica política e aprendizados que podem advir dos ideais de solidariedade e da propriedade comunal da terra das comunidades tradicionais, no sentido da produção de novos modos de relação com a natureza.
Planalto Santareno: Autodemarcação do território indígenas dos Munduruku
Authors: Barros da Silva Dayanny , Sousa monteiro junior Randerson
Published: February 2025

A região do Planalto Santareno é dominada pelo agronegócio e consequentemente influencia no desmatamento, impactando diretamente na vida dos indígenas. Diante disso, o presente trabalho busca analisar as lutas pela r-existências dos indígenas Munduruku, localizado no município de Santarém-Pará. O território indígena é composto por quatro aldeias em processo de demarcação, a qual foi reivindicada em 2008 e atendida em 2018. As constantes ameaças e o desmatamento predatório, resultaram na autodemarcação do seu território, que para geografia esse processo é uma alternativa de luta e resistência desses povos. Além disso, a visão de território para os indígenas é além de uma extensão de terra, ou seja, ela envolve ancestralidade, histórias e geosimbologias. Neste sentido, o ato de autodemarcação para esses povos é baseado nos seus conhecimentos tradicionais, como por exemplo, locais de caça e árvores. Portanto, a autodemarcação é a esperança dos Munduruku em proteger sua identidade, seus recursos naturais e principalmente, seu território.

This study explored the strategies, challenges, and adaptabilities of Filipino language teachers in improving the pragmatic competence of ESL students. Using purposive sampling, there were five teachers who participated in the Key Informants Interview and another five for the Focus Group Discussion. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings of the study revealed that teachers enhanced the pragmatic competence of ESL students by imposing the English Only Policy, Integrating Differentiated Tasks, Translating of Words to English, and Addressing Linguistic Diversity. Teachers strategized to effectively address the distinct linguistic background of the students by incorporating localized perspectives, allowing students to use their mother tongue, contextualizing lessons by connecting students’ experiences, and by encouraging students to express themselves in the English language. Expressing thoughts in English, fearing of judgement and inferiority, and upbringing and community influence were the challenges they faced in applying pragmatic competence instruction for ESL students. In order to navigate pedagogical challenges, the language teachers practised the giving of rewards, encouraged students to constantly learn, positioned oneself as a parent, and gave everyone the chance to speak.
A Rule-Generative Predictive Clustering Model For Thyroid Prediction Using Learning Approaches
Authors: Amutha C.
Published: February 2025

Around the world, thyroid disease is considered one of the most highly detected endocrinopathies; for the overall health of a human, thyroid illness is regarded as a significant concern since the thyroid gland controls the human body's metabolism. A dependable, automatic and precise machine-learning (ML) system for thyroid detection is necessary to save time and lower mistake rates. The proposed strategy seeks to overcome previous work's constraints, such as improper comprehensive feature analysis, prediction accuracy improvement, dependability and visualization. Here, 29 clinical factors from a public dataset on thyroid disorders from the California University, Irvine ML repository were employed. By examining symptoms in the early stages and displacing the manual examination of these characteristics, the medical features enabled us to develop a Machine Learning (ML) model that may forecast thyroid-related diseases. Understanding the purpose of features in the prediction tasks of the thyroid is made more accessible with visualization and feature analysis. Furthermore, data balancing and 5-fold CV with using the synthetic minority oversampling technique, intend to solve the over-fitting issue. Because numerous classifiers are involved in the prediction task, learning maintains the trustworthiness of the thyroid forecasting system. Using the proposed Rule-based-Generative Clustering (RGC) with the k-CV method, the suggested model achieved a specificity of 99%, an accuracy of 99.1% and a sensitivity of 99%. This makes it suitable for real-time diagnostic schemes to facilitate disease identification and encourage early-stage treatment.

The pass-through to inflation of gas price shocks
Authors: López Lucía , Odendahl Florens , Párraga Susana , Silgado-Gómez Edgar
Published: February 2025

This paper uses a Bayesian Structural Vector Autoregressive (BSVAR) framework to estimate the pass-through of unexpected gas price supply shocks to HICP inflation in the euro area and its four largest economies. Compared with oil price shocks, gas price shocks have an approximately one-third smaller pass-through to headline inflation. Country-specific results indicate that gas price increases matter more for German, Spanish and Italian inflation than for French inflation, hinging on the reliance on energy commodities in consumption, production and different electricity price regulations. Consistent with gas becoming a prominent energy commodity in the euro area, including time-variation through a time-varying parameter BVAR demonstrates a substantially larger impact of gas price shocks on HICP inflation in recent years. The empirical estimates are then rationalised using a New Keynesian Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (NK-DSGE) model augmented with energy. In the model, the elasticity of substitution between gas and non-energy inputs plays a critical role in explaining the inflationary effects of gas shocks. A decomposition of the recent inflation dynamics into the model’s structural shocks reveals a larger contribution of gas shocks compared with oil shocks.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Platinum-based chemotherapy is the standard treatment for advanced testicular germ cell tumors. However, selecting third-line and further regimens is difficult in refractory cases. We report a case of testicular mixed germ cell tumor treated with a salvage regimen for high-risk gestational trophoblastic tumor.

Case Report: A 48-year-old male was diagnosed with an advanced mixed germ cell tumor of the right testis with markedly elevated human chorionic gonadotropin levels. Induction and second-line chemotherapy with platinum-based regimens did not achieve normalization of the tumor marker. As salvage chemotherapy, a regimen of 5-fluorouracil and actinomycin D was applied, which led to remission of the tumor marker. However, additional consolidation courses were discontinued due to cumulative adverse events and the patient’s wishes. Ultimately the patient died of tumor recurrence.

Conclusion: We report the first case of testicular germ cell tumor in which a regimen of 5-fluorouracil and actinomycin D showed effectiveness. This regimen for high-risk gestational trophoblastic tumor is also considered a promising treatment option for testicular germ cell tumors with a choriocarcinoma element.

Authors: El-Reshaid Kamel , Al-Bader Abdulmohsen , Abou-deeb Samer
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Semaglutide (S) is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist that is approved by Food and Drug Administration for treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Moreover, it reduced the risk of renal failure, cardiovascular death rates, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke. Initially, adverse effects (AE) were mainly gastrointestinal. However, there is growing concern about rarer and more serious AE, such as higher risk of pancreatitis, bowel obstruction, gastroparesis, and venous thrombosis. Arterial disease, leading to renal infarction, has not been reported following its use.

Case Report: A 51-years-old man presented with sudden left loin pain for two days. Computed tomography with contrast showed wedge-shaped avascular anterior aspect of left kidney. Arteriogram showed abrupt loss of flow in a corresponding 1 of the 2 feeding arteries to left kidney without focal abnormalities in its proximal portion, second left renal artery, right one, aorta, and its branches. The patient did not have family history or laboratory evidence of hypercoagulable disorder. Echocardiogram did not show mural and valvular disease. 24-hour Holter-monitoring did not show arrhythmia. S was the only medication he had received in the previous six weeks for moderate obesity. The drug was discontinued, and the patient was treated with heparin for three days then Rivaroxaban 20 mg daily for six months. On follow-up, he did not have subsequent thrombotic events up to 1 year of follow-up.

Conclusion: In selected population, S can induce arterial thrombosis-in-situ.
Student's experiences in an interdisciplinary module: “It's like travelling to a foreign country”
Authors: Schijf Jennifer , Van der Werf Margaretha , Jansen Ellen
Published: February 2025

This exploratory qualitative study examines the experiences of Bachelor's students in an extracurricular interdisciplinary module alongside their disciplinary Bachelor’s programme. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 second-year Bachelor’s students from a large research university to systematically analyse 1) the challenging and motivational factors they experience during their participation in the module, and 2) the learning outcomes they perceive to have attained in the module. The analyses of the interview data reveal that students are motivated by acquiring new theories and skills from other academic disciplines. However, they face difficulties in mastering the new academic jargon. Making connections with prior knowledge is stimulating. Repetition and lack of connection to pre-existing disciplinary knowledge hinder motivation. The perceived attained learning outcomes include gaining insights into other academic disciplines, engaging with different terminology and theories of disciplines, and understanding different disciplinary perspectives. Students report to have improved communication skills and recognised the value of interdisciplinary collaboration. As a practical implication, we suggest three guidelines for interdisciplinary teaching: establishing a common ground, actively contrasting disciplines, and adopting a gradual integration approach. It is recommended that future research includes lecturer experiences and curricular interdisciplinary programmes.

Nexus of organizational Culture and Work Performance
Authors: Ortega Lederle , Acero Jed P.
Published: February 2025

This study explores the relationship between organizational culture, organizational politics, and work performance in local government units (LGUs) in the Philippines, focusing on the mediating role of organizational politics. Data was collected from 263 LGU employees with at least three years of experience. Mediation analysis was conducted using validated instruments to measure organizational culture, politics, and work performance. Statistical methods, including the Sobel-Z test, were applied to examine mediation effects. The results show that organizational politics partially mediates the relationship between organizational culture and work performance. A positive culture significantly enhances employee performance, but internal politics mediate this effect. The Sobel-Z test confirmed the significance of the mediation (z = 3.403, p < 0.05), with organizational politics accounting for 15.1% of the total effect. This study advances organizational behavior research by highlighting the mediating role of politics in LGUs. It offers practical insights, recommending that LGUs promote strong organizational cultures and transparent governance to reduce the adverse effects of internal politics, thereby improving employee performance and public service delivery
Interface Between Metaphysics and Science
Authors: Lawal Ademola Lukman
Published: February 2025

The interface between metaphysics and science refers to the close-knit relationship between Metaphysics as First Philosophy and science. The first conception of metaphysics by Aristotle makes its appearance after Physics. The issue at hand borders on the lacuna between metaphysics and science, on the first hand, and on the interconnectedness of the metaphysics, and by extension the whole of philosophy, and the sciences of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Engineering. We must underscore the view that Metaphysics investigates into the ground and foundation of all regularities and irregularities in nature. It is the first philosophy and the first science. We shall, therefore, probe into the development of modern science from classical antiquity and state the mistake of rejecting metaphysics by the logical positivists as a fundamental injury to science. Our attempt to recover and rediscover the metaphysical foundations of science shall reestablish an enabling interface between metaphysics and science. Our discussion shall first be on metaphysics as the first philosophy and the first science. After examining how science has dovetailed from metaphysics, we would reestablish the interface between metaphysics and science.

Results reveal that participants primarily consume online news for informational needs, entertainment, and fostering social interaction. Based on findings, the study recommends that online newspaper publishers enhance mobile-friendly accessibility, leverage social media integration, and offer localized content to boost engagement among Apata residents. Findings from the study contribute to understanding online newspaper readership in Nigeria and inform media development in the digital age.
Sprezzatura: The Performer's Secrets and the Aesthetics of Social Behavior
Authors: MacTaggart Eric
Published: February 2025

The Italian term sprezzatura refers to making what one does appear nonchalant and effortless when it in fact involves calculation and effort. This notion, which comes from Baldassare Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier, captures a practice that permeates many areas of our aesthetic lives, from the performing arts to everyday social interactions, and is useful for criticism and appreciation. However, this concept has received little attention in philosophical aesthetics. By filling out and making more precise Castiglione's casual and indirect remarks about sprezzatura, I show how this concept both points to heretofore underappreciated aesthetic values and helps us see important aesthetic and moral differences between cases that otherwise seem alike.
Construction of Social Aesthetic Education Digital Art Museum in the Postepidemic Era
Authors: Nanling Zhang
Published: February 2025

As an essential institution of social public aesthetic education, the art museum has always undertaken the primary function of social aesthetic education. The digital art museum expands the role it is not able to play based on the space constructed by the physical art museum. Although the digital construction of domestic art galleries has been carried out for many years, its special significance and unique advantages are difficult to show under the usual operation and exhibition mode. The sudden epidemic has changed people's life track and way of thinking to a certain extent, which will undoubtedly provide a significant development opportunity for the digital art museum. Based on the broad background that the country adheres to building morality and cultivating people, attaches great importance to aesthetic education, and vigorously carries forward the spirit of aesthetic education, this article compares and combs the current digital development achievements of art museums at home and abroad, and it considers the construction and potential problems of the cloud model of digital art museums in China's postepidemic era. This article attempts to provide a theoretical basis for accelerating the renewal of the educational model and ways of contemporary social aesthetic education.
The Role of Public Administration and Economic Policy in Preventing Bankruptcies: A Macroeconomic Perspective
Authors: Zhang Shengchen
Published: February 2025

The paper assesses the important issue of whether bankruptcies could be prevented by public administration and economic policy, using the experience of the European Union during the COVID-19 pandemic. The fiscal and monetary interventions discussed in the study include some significant drivers: an increase in the survival rate of firms in the short run, stabilization of employment, and resilience of the economy over the long term. Due to the fact that some of these economies are not developed, over time, various challenges set in, such as the piling up of long-term debt, abuse of funding provided to SMEs, and market distortion. The paper emphasizes specific strategies aimed at overcoming the problem: economic growth through high-productivity investment, access to finance for SMEs, and efficiency in the market through innovation. These, thus, constitute strategies toward the establishment of a more robust economy that would be able to weather future crisis situations while promoting sustainable growth. It also underlines the need for coordinated economic policies that can provide a number of lessons that are useful both for policymakers and enterprises while trying to minimize the risk of bankruptcy associated with downturns in the economic cycle.
Power Distribution and Policy Shift: How the Japanese Military Accelerated the Invasion of China by Further Suppressing the Civilian Government After the February 26 Incident
Authors: Jiang Haowen
Published: February 2025

This study aims to investigate how the shift in the balance of power between the Japanese military and the civilian government (independent variable) following the 1936 February 26 Incident influenced the radicalization of Japan’s policy toward China (dependent variable). The February 26 Incident marked a pivotal turning point in the power struggle between the military and the civilian government. In its aftermath, the military gradually secured dominance over national decision-making by reinstating the active-duty officer system and taking control of key government positions. This shift in the power dynamic directly led to the radicalization of Japan’s foreign policy, transitioning from a strategy of incremental encroachment to one of full-scale invasion and expansion. By applying Graham Allison’s governmental politics model, this research analyzes how changes in the domestic power structure facilitated the radicalization of Japan’s policy toward China through decision-making mechanisms. By examining the evolution of domestic power struggles following the February 26 Incident, this paper elucidates the close relationship between power struggles and the degree of policy radicalization, providing a deeper understanding of Japan's policy shift toward China.

Authors: Le Liwei
Published: February 2025

There is no doubt about the importance of classical reading, but because there are often many difficult and obscure contents in the classics, there is a certain threshold to understand the classics. Classical education aims to build a dialogue bridge between classic works and ordinary families. Through the combination of school education, community education and family education, online education and offline education, through carrying out reading activities such as "inheriting classic good books and reading together -- Encounter classics", it opens up a new channel for the inheritance of classics, so that the excellent culture in ancient and modern classics at home and abroad will no longer be put on the shelf. It can truly "fly into the homes of ordinary people". This article will start from the classical education policy guidance and social requirements, on the basis of sorting out the relevant research, the reform path and research objectives of the future classical education are prospected.
AI, Job Displacement, and Support for Workers
Authors: Yang Zhuorui
Published: February 2025

AI develops at an extraordinary pace and would be capable of outrace human worker in a wide variety of fields. Those affected by this are not limited to workers who hold middle class jobs. If fact, high-salaried professionals would also be impacted by AI considerably despite their education and training. This prompted policymakers to formulate relevant policies to support the affected workers. In the United States, the federal government and some state governments have passed acts to support workers, while union organizations have protected their members through self-regulation and collective bargaining, among other means. What some unions have achieved so far with collective bargaining could serve as a paradigm for safeguarding workers against the impacts of AI.

The Promotion of Digital Feminism on Chinese Social Media
Authors: Ni Yifei
Published: February 2025

Since fourth-wave feminism rose in the early 2010s, digital feminist activism has attracted increasing scholarly attention, bringing a new perspective to feminist research and practices. Drawing on the analytic framework of digital feminist activism, this paper primarily investigates how Chinese feminists use social media platforms, especially Weibo, to speak up, facilitate feminist awareness, and resist patriarchal oppression. Through analysis of two online activities in China since 2018, namely the #MeToo movement and the protest the Korean deepfake crisis, this paper closely studies media discourses of Chinese Internet users in support of feminism. The main objective is to highlight how Chinese feminists challenge deeply ingrained patriarchal values and contribute to the development of feminism under China’s online censorship and restrictions. Ultimately, this research sheds light on the role of Chinese feminists in online activities and their efforts to promote the values of feminism.
Impact of Social Stereotypes on Women's Identity
Authors: Yu Jiongcen
Published: February 2025

This study focuses on the profound impact of social stereotypes, especially traditional gender stereotypes and feminist stereotypes, on women's identity, and explores how to construct a new feminist identity based on them. Traditional gender stereotypes limit women's roles to the domestic and emotional spheres, emphasizing their tender, dependent qualities. This solidified perception not only limits women's career development and social participation but also profoundly affects their self-perception and identity. Feminist stereotypes, on the other hand, may overemphasize women's independence and antagonism, ignoring the diversity and differences within women, also posing a complex impact on women's identity. On the one hand, traditional gender stereotypes have led to many obstacles for women in pursuing their values and dreams, such as limited career choices and low social recognition. Feminist stereotypes, on the other hand, may cause women to feel confused and pressured about their identity when pursuing feminist goals. On this basis, this study proposes strategies for constructing a new feminist identity. Feminist identity should transcend the limitations of traditional gender stereotypes and feminist stereotypes, advocate gender equality and individual freedom, and respect women's diversity and differences. The significance of this study is that it provides theoretical support and practical guidance for the construction of a more egalitarian, inclusive, and pluralistic feminist identity through an in-depth exploration of the impact of social stereotypes on women's identity.
The Influence of Power Structures in Modern Central Asian Steppe States on Foreign Policy — A Case Study of the Diplomatic Activities of Kalmyk Khanate and the Junior jüz of Kazakh Khanate in the 18th Century
Authors: Ji Yanyi
Published: February 2025

The social structure, division of political power, and operational mechanisms of modern Central Asian steppe states, dominated by nomadic peoples, are closely related to their foreign policy concepts and the formulation of diplomatic strategies. This paper uses a comparative case study method, focusing on Kalmyk Khanate and the Junior jüz of Kazakh Khanate in the 17th and 18th centuries. Through a comparative analysis of the power structures of these two states and their transformations, the study explores the causal relationship between the characteristics of state power structures and the formulation of foreign policy. The study finds that the internal cohesion formed by the social power structure of steppe states affects their military strength, the legitimacy of the ruler’s power, and the orientation of social demands, which represent the balance between “interest” and “independence” —important conditions for the stable operation of a nomadic society—thus exert practical influence on diplomatic concepts and policies.
Building Beyond Earth: Creating a Scientific Facility on the Moon
Authors: Huang Yuetong
Published: February 2025

The Earth’s resources are now being further complicated to an engineer by climate change and population growth. As such, the quest for alternative habitats is more than ever before necessary. In this paper, we discuss the plausibility of a sustainable human habitat on the Moon with special reference to Moon Village Project for a collaborative effort toward lunar colonization. We go on to describe, in detail, the enormous challenges that would be met in erecting a structure on the Moon with respect to the highly laminar environmental situation, the scarcity of resources, as well as the plight of energy generation during prolonged lunar darkness. In the spirit of an answer to that problem, we suggest designing a scientific Moon campus with artificial intelligence help, which must present an entire underground structure for optimized space utilization and energy preservation. Our proposition includes advanced life support systems and possible ways to do certain types of scientific research such as lunar geology, space medicine, and astrobiology. Through the utilization of local resources together with cutting-edge technology, this investigation is geared to finally identifying a blueprint for sustainable lunar habitation and helping achieve the grander aspiration of human expansion beyond Earth.
The Evaluation of Integration of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for the Treatment of Hyperlipidemia
Authors: Liu Xuyang
Published: February 2025

This study explores the effectiveness and clinical application of combining traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine (WM) in treating hyperlipidemia. Hyperlipidemia refers to elevated total cholesterol, triglycerides, or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the blood, or decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, leading to increased risks of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Western medical treatment primarily relies on statins, cholesterol absorption inhibitors, and PCSK9 inhibitors, but these therapies have limited efficacy and cause various side effects. In TCM, hyperlipidemia is categorized as conditions such as "phlegm syndrome," "deficiency damage," and "chest obstruction," with different prescriptions used based on syndrome differentiation. Research has shown that combining TCM and WM produces better clinical outcomes than using WM alone, enhancing lipid-lowering effects while reducing side effects and improving patient satisfaction. However, the potential side effects of TCM and the optimal combination treatment plans for different patient types remain unclear. Future research will focus on identifying the most suitable combination of TCM and WM for different patients, aiming to optimize personalized treatment for hyperlipidemia. This study provides a theoretical basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of hyperlipidemia and promotes the further integration of TCM and WM in medical practice.
Accessibility Analysis and Site Selection Suggestions for Cultural Complexes in Nanjing
Authors: Guo Jiangrui , Xu Jingyang
Published: February 2025

In recent years, with the increase of urban cultural consumption demand, cultural complexes, the role of cultural complexes, notably bookstores, have become increasingly significant. In this study, we took the 11th district of Nanjing as the research object and selected the cultural complex represented by bookstores in Nanjing to study and analyze their distribution and accessibility. First, the study collected data on the location, transportation network, and population density of bookstores in Nanjing. Then, a comprehensive evaluation system was constructed to evaluate the impact of different modes of transportation on the accessibility of bookstores. By using the spatial analysis method, this study quantitatively evaluated the spatial distribution pattern, service scope and service equity of Nanjing bookstores. The results show that the distribution of bookstores in Nanjing shows a similar imbalance with the distribution of population density, in which the accessibility of the central area of the city is relatively high, while the peripheral area is low. In particular, the issue of accessibility equity for children is particularly prominent. Based on the above findings, this paper proposes targeted suggestions and improvement strategies for bookstore site selection, aiming to provide a scientific basis and practical guidance for government decision-makers, urban planners and bookstore operators.

Published: February 2025

Since China entered an aging society in 2000, the population has been gradually becoming older and aging faster. The accelerating and deepening of population aging poses a severe challenge to elderly care resources. This study addresses the challenges of an aging population and the uneven distribution of elderly care resources in Beijing by integrating data on the city's road network, elderly population, and care centers, Utilized QGIS software and the 2SFCA method to assess spatial accessibility and social equity of elderly care centers in Beijing at the township and street levels. There is a roughly consistent spatial density layout between the elderly care centers in Beijing and the elderly population. A spatial distribution pattern of elderly care centers in Beijing shows an uneven spatial accessibility level, A small number of northeastern and southwestern regions and the central urban area have high accessibility. In general, the spatial equity of spatial accessibility to elderly care centers in Beijing is very good, and the Gini coefficient of spatial accessibility is only 0.17. The results can provide theoretical support for the Beijing government to further improve the layout of elderly care resources in the future.
An In-Depth Economic Analysis of Xiangjiang River Water Pollution Control: Introducing New Variables
Authors: Shen Zhenghao
Published: February 2025

This study provides a significant economic analysis of pollution control methodologies applied to the Xiangjiang River, advancing the understanding of how economic development and environmental preservation intersect. By integrating previously overlooked variables, the research offers a nuanced perspective on the costs and benefits of safeguarding the river's economic and ecological roles. The hypothesis posits that including additional factors—such as cross-regional economic collaboration and long-term ecological resilience—can reshape traditional cost-benefit analyses of pollution control. Findings suggest that these factors substantially transform the landscape of pollution control, highlighting the need for a broader evaluative framework that encompasses economic, ecological, and social dimensions. The research underscores the importance of regional cooperation and ecological sustainability, offering insights with implications not only for the Xiangjiang River but for other similarly impacted water bodies. This study encourages policymakers and researchers to adopt a more comprehensive approach to pollution control, paving the way for future research and the development of sustainable, cost-effective environmental policies.
