Authors: Zhang Shixia
Published: July 2023

China has been undergoing rapid urbanization, which in turn greatly affects the watershed geomorphology and surface runoff. Estimation of surface runoff is essential for the assessment of runoff potential of a watershed, planning of water conservation measures and reducing the flooding hazards of downstream by utilizing appropriate hydrologic model. Qiantang Estuary, well-known for its giant tidal, has few observed and experimental runoff data. Therefore, Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) model was used to determinate surface runoff in this study watershed, integrating Geographic Information System (GIS) based on this field’s the long-term data owing to its few data requirements and clearly stated assumptions.Results indicated that rapid urbanization really altered watershed geomorphic features and surface runoff. Simulated data demonstrated that the average annual runoff depth has been increased by 35.85mm from 1975 to 2010, an increase of 1.37×108m3 of total annual runoff volume. It is revealed that the Geomorphic features of watershed is one of the important factors influencing runoff.This study provided significant hydrologic parameters for city flood measures and watershed environment protection.
Study of the Effects of Direct Focused Versus Direct Unfocused Written Corrective Feedback on the Accuracy of Prepositions in English Writing of High School Students
Authors: Ding Yue
Published: July 2023

This paper focuses on the effects of direct focused written feedback and direct unfocused written feedback on preposition acquisition in high school students' writing. Preposition acquisition can be difficult for second language learners, so it is important to improve students' acquisition in this area. At the same time, the effects of different forms of feedback vary for different levels of students. This study aims to answer three questions: (1) What is the effect of direct focused feedback on high school students' acquisition of prepositions in English writing? (2) What is the effect of direct unfocused feedback on high school students' acquisition of English writing prepositions? (3) What is the most effective feedback for students of different levels (high, medium, and low subgroups)? This experimental study included a pre-test, two tasks, an immediate post-test, a delayed post-test, and an interview. In this process, meta-linguistic variables were also added to the direct focused feedback and direct unfocused feedback types because some previous studies claim that meta-linguistic explanations have no positive effect on acquisition.

An Exploration of Grammar Teaching Strategies based on New Curriculum Standards
Authors: Xu Qingfang
Published: July 2023

As an important part of English ability, grammar plays an important role in teaching and learning. The National English Curriculum Standards (NECS) points out that in language use, grammar knowledge is a unity of "form-meaning-use", which is closely related to phonetics, vocabulary, discourse and pragmatic knowledge, which directly affects the accuracy and appropriateness of language understanding and expression. The learning of English grammar knowledge in high school is an extension and continuation of grammar learning in the compulsory education stage, and the grammar knowledge learned in the compulsory education stage should be further consolidated and appropriately used through various English learning and practical activities in a richer context, learn to understand and use new grammar knowledge in the context, and further develop English grammar awareness. However, in actual classroom teaching, there are still many problems, such as teaching grammar in isolation and lack of context and discourse. The failure to change their teaching views, makes teacher gives too much exercise to students to practise and neglects the process, leading to students' lack of interest, even let them have an aversion to learning grammar. In the face of these problems, teachers should make more use of resources such as modern educational technology, create situations, use game activities, carry out task-based activities and other ways to help students improve their grammar ability.

Authors: Yuan Hejin
Published: July 2023

With the continuous promotion of the reform of higher education system, as well as the continuous deepening of the popularity of higher education, our country's postgraduate education has entered a new development stage. In the past ten years, the enrollment of various majors has been expanding, and the number of students has also achieved substantial growth. Among them, the proportion of postgraduates of English education is also expanding. For a postgraduate student majoring in English Education, whether he has the correct admission motivation, whether he agrees with the chosen major and whether he is interested in the major he is learning are very important for his professional learning and his own development. In the study of second language acquisition, motivation and learning engagement are both important factors that influence learners' individual differences in second language learning. However, as an important part of learning motivation, the motivation of admission has not been paid enough attention in the previous research field of motivation. In addition, there are few researches on the correlation between enrollment motivation and learning engagement at home and abroad, and few take master of English education as the research object. Therefore, based on relevant theories and researches, this paper takes the full-time postgraduates of English Education of Class 2021 of University X as the research subjects, explores their enrollment motivation and learning engagement through questionnaire, and analyzes the correlation between them. In order to make full use of the motivation to improve the academic input of master of subject English education to provide some feasible suggestions. The research focuses on the following three questions: (1) What is the enrollment motivation of postgraduates of English Education? (2) How do the postgraduates of English Education engage in learning? (3) What are the reasons that influence the learning engagement of postgraduates of English Education? It is found that students’ enrollment motivation is diversified and the degree of learning engagement is insufficient. Besides, most students are  lack of scientific planning during postgraduate period. Moreover, most of students are lack of educational belief and practice. The study makes some suggestions to address these problems.

The Silent Way(SW), introduced by Celeb Gattegno, is well known for the use of Cuisenaire rods to the teaching of sounds of foreign language by different colors. And it is also known for its tenet that teachers should be as silent as possible in class and that learners should speak as much as possible. As one of the famous eight teaching methods in western academy, it used to be an important foreign language teaching theory. This unique teaching method has significant benefits and defects, which is the main reason why it has disappeared from its popularity. The purpose of this paper is to briefly introduce the features and explore the two aspects of the silent way.Also it will combine the flipped classroom with the silent way to explore the further application of it.
A Judicial Empirical Study on the Protection of Voice Rights and Portrait Rights
Authors: Zhang Hui
Published: July 2023

As an important personality marker, how to protect the voice of a natural person has always been a focus of academic discussion. The second paragraph of Article 1023 of the Civil Code of China stipulates that the protection of the voice of a natural person shall refer to the provisions of the right of portrait, and clearly incorporates this new type of personality rights into the protection system of the Personality rights law. However, there is still no clear basis on how to protect the voice of a natural person. Through empirical research on 101 judicial judgment documents related to voice rights disputes in China, it was found that there are unclear definitions of legal relationship elements for reference and application of voice rights protection in judicial practice; There are a series of issues such as unclear scope of reasonable use and unclear liability determination and bearing methods after damage to sound rights and interests. The protection of voice rights and interests is a systematic project. The application of this protection rule not only needs the support of Article 1023 of the Civil code, but also needs coordination and cooperation with other similar personality rights protection rules, reference to the application of subject and object, responsibility bearing form innovation and other aspects, so as to build a perfect judicial application system of voice rights and interests protection.

Published: July 2023

O estuário de Itamambuca se localiza em Ubatuba na região norte do estado de São Paulo. O estuário apresenta regime de micromarés semidiurnas e as análises e coletas de dados no local foram efetuadas sob maré de sizígia. É importante mensurar e caracterizar as variáveis físico-químicas presentes no local, a fim de observar-se o comportamento e a influência de fatores multiparamétricos relacionados às marés em toda a estrutura presente em um estuário como componentes biológicas, minerais e até mesmo sua relação e interferência em processos atmosféricos locais. As amostras de água foram coletadas horariamente, por 13 horas consecutivas, em uma seção transversal, composta por oito pontos, em frente ao camping Tio Gato e foram determinadas seis variáveis: nível da água, pH, oxigênio dissolvido, temperatura, salinidade e condutividade elétrica. A partir dos resultados, nota-se claramente a influência da maré atuando sobre o rio durante o período de sizígia com padrões de variações oscilatórias ao longo do tempo amostral. Os resultados comprovam a presença de inversão térmica, com maiores temperaturas associadas às águas marinhas, enquanto a água continental é mais fria, provavelmente explicada pelos seguintes fatores: i) distância relativamente curta entre a nascente e a desembocadura; ii) ampla cobertura vegetal ao longo do curso do rio, de modo a minimizar o aquecimento dessas águas pela radiação solar e iii) altitude da nascente, sobre a Serra do Mar, em altitudes consideráveis. Apesar disso, a densidade da água aumenta em direção ao fundo, uma vez que a maior salinidade das águas marinhas compensa a inversão térmica.
CARACTERIZAÇÃO DO PEUAMM OBTIDO ATRAVÉS DE MOAGEM DE ALTA ENERGIA CRIOGÊNICA
Authors: Sowek Adriane Bassani , Oliveira Leticia Waleska
Published: July 2023

O polietileno de ultra alta massa molar (PEUAMM) é um polímero extremamente resistente ao impacto e a abrasão e possui um baixíssimo coeficiente de atrito que o torna autolubrificante. Porém, devido sua alta massa molar, que proporciona a ele uma alta viscosidade no estado fundido, este polímero não pode ser processado através de métodos convencionais como injeção, sopro ou extrusão. Por este motivo, o presente trabalho visa caracterizar o PEUAMM obtido através da moagem de alta energia criogênica a fim de analisar as modificações causadas por essa técnica na estrutura do polímero e avaliar sua contribuição como técnica intermediária de modificação do PEUAMM. A utilização de nitrogênio líquido em sistemas de moagem de alta energia propicia um aumento na eficiência energética global do sistema resultando em partículas mais finas. O moinho utilizado foi do tipo Attritor, a escolha do mesmo deve-se à produção em escala industrial e ao fato de que este permite uma grande variação nas condições de moagem, tais quais, temperaturas, modificação na atmosfera dentro do jarro, bem como moagem a seco e a úmido. Através da análise dos resultados obtidos por MEV, observou-se que tanto em temperatura ambiente, quanto em temperatura criogênica, a moagem de alta energia promoveu a fragmentação e achatamento das partículas, formando os chamados flakes. Este achatamento provocou um aumento de volume e como consequência, a diminuição da densidade aparente do polímero. Uma redução da densidade aparente mais acentuada foi observada para a moagem à temperatura ambiente, devido a maior formação de flakes. A moagem criogênica causa além do achatamento uma quebra nas partículas, provocando uma diminuição do tamanho das partículas e consequentemente, uma menor redução na densidade aparente.  Estudos indicam que a formação dos flakes está relacionada com a transformação de cristais estáveis ortorrômbicos em cristais metaestáveis monoclínicos, esta constatação foi confirmada através do difratograma de DRX, onde foi observado o aparecimento do pico característico da fase monoclínica, centrado em 19,5°. Através da análise térmica por DSC, pode-se observar que a moagem de alta energia, em ambas as condições, não alterou significativamente a temperatura de fusão e de cristalização do PEUAMM, porém provocou uma diminuição na porcentagem de cristalinidade com a moagem criogênica. Em relação à análise reológica, observou-se que tanto a moagem criogênica, quanto a moagem em temperatura ambiente, promoveram um aumento na viscosidade complexa e nos módulos (perda e armazenamento).

De novo urethral stricture disease in renal transplant recipients
Authors: Wong Julie , Keyes Sarah , Harriman David , Nguan Christopher
Published: July 2023

Introduction: With routine catheterization and low urine output pre-transplant, renal transplant recipients (RTRs) may be at risk of urethral stricture disease post-transplant. The objective of this study was to characterize new urethral stricture disease in males following renal transplant.
Methods: Retrospective chart review was carried out on all male RTRs at Vancouver General Hospital who developed urethral strictures from October 2009–2019. Descriptive analyses were conducted on patient characteristics. Comparative analyses against non-stricture RTRs were carried out.
Results: Of 636 RTRs, 18 (2.8%) developed a postoperative urethral stricture. Median time from transplant to stricture discovery was 56 days (range 8–618 days). One-third of stricture patients had prior risk factors for stricture formation. Post-transplant, 77.8% presented symptomatically, with 61.1% requiring intervention. Overall graft survival rate was 88.9% among the RTR stricture group; 16.7% experienced acute rejection and 22.2% had delayed graft function (DGF). There was no significant association between developing postoperative urethral stricture and urinary tract infection (Chi-squared [X2]=0.04, p=0.84; odds ratio [OR] 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.1–6.21), DGF (X2=0.14, p=0.70; OR 0.8, CI 0.26–2.48), or acute rejection (X2=2.02, p=0.14; OR 2.55, CI 0.71–9.12).
Conclusions: De novo post-transplant urethral stricture rates appear to occur at a higher rate than the general population and contribute to patient morbidity. Stricture disease should be considered post-transplantation in patients with voiding dysfunction, even if they don’t have prior risk factors. Multicenter studies should be considered to elucidate any relationship between urethral stricture and graft survival.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: Despite its minimally invasive nature, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) may be associated with significant pain. Challenges in pain control may prevent timely discharge (and expose patients to adverse effects of opioid use). We sought to evaluate whether our patients who underwent erector spinae plane (ESP) regional blocks experienced improved postoperative pain control and decreased opioid use after PCNL (compared with those who did not receive blocks).
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed consecutive PCNL cases on patients admitted for greater than 24 hours without pre-existing opioid regimens for chronic pain. Cases were completed by a single high-volume surgeon. Patients who accepted an ESP block were compared to those who did not receive a block. Patients received either a single injection or a disposable pump delivering intermittent boluses of ropivacaine 0.2%. Demographic and perioperative data were analyzed. The primary outcomes were opioid use measured in morphine milligram equivalent (MME) and patient-reported pain scores during the first 24 hours of hospitalization.
Results: From March 2019 to August 2021, 44 patients were identified meeting criteria — 28 of which received an ESP block (including 14 continuous blocks). The patients who received blocks had significantly decreased opioid use (18.3 vs. 81.3 MME, p=0.004) and a longer mean time to first non-zero pain score (p=0.004). Continuous blocks had similar opioid use to single shot blocks (21.0 vs. 15.6 MME, p=0.952).
Conclusions: ESP regional blocks appear to offer an effective adjunct method for pain control after PCNL and may reduce post-PCNL opioid use while maintaining adequate patient analgesia.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia surgical re-treatment after prostatic urethral lift
Authors: Dean Nicholas S. , Assmus Mark A. , Lee Matthew S. , Guo Jenny N. , Krambeck Amy E.
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Prostatic urethral lift (PUL) accounts for approximately one-quarter of all surgical benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) procedures performed in the U.S.1 Within five years of a patient’s PUL procedure, approximately 1/7 patients will require surgical BPH re-treatment.2 We aimed to highlight the evidence of surgical BPH re-treatment modalities after PUL, with a focus on safety, short-term efficacy, durability, and relative costs.
Methods: A literature review was performed using PubMed, and an exhaustive review of miscellaneous online resources was completed. The search was limited to English, human studies. Citations of relevant studies were reviewed.
Results: No study has examined the efficacy, safety, or durability of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or repeat PUL in the post-PUL setting. Recently, groups have examined laser enucleation (n=81), water vapor thermal therapy (WVTT) (n=5), robotic simple prostatectomy (SP) (n=2), and prostatic artery embolization (PAE) (n=1) in the post-PUL setting. Holmium enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) after PUL appears to be safe and has similar functional outcomes to HoLEP controls. Other treatment modalities examined appear safe but have limited efficacy evidence supporting their use. Photo-selective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) and robotic waterjet treatment (RWT) have no safety or efficacy studies to support their use in the post-PUL setting.
Conclusions: Despite increasing numbers of patients expected to require surgical re-treatment after PUL in North America, there is currently limited evidence and a lack of recommendations guiding the evaluation and management of these patients. HoLEP is associated with the strongest evidence to support its use in the post-PUL setting.

Authors: Calvo Ignacio , Bekkema Jordan , Rourke Keith F.
Published: July 2023

Introduction: The incidence and associations of postvoid dribbling (PVD) after urethroplasty remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of urethroplasty on PVD and factors associated with de novo PVD.
Methods: From 2011–2018, patients were offered enrollment in a prospective study assessing PVD after urethroplasty. PVD was assessed preoperatively and six months post-surgery with the question, “After urinating, do you have post-urination dribbling or leakage of urine?” Choices included, “Never” (1), “Occasionally” (2), “Sometimes” (3), “Most of the time” (4), or “All of the time” (5). A response of 3–5 was considered clinically significant. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare pre- and postoperative PVD, while logistic regression was used to determine the association between new onset PVD and clinical variables.
Results: A total of 384 patients completed the study, with 46.9% (180) reporting PVD preoperatively compared to 39.8% (153) postoperatively (p=0.01); 18.0% (67) of patients experienced de novo PVD, 57.0% (219) no change and 25.0% (96) reported improvement. On multivariable logistic regression, patients undergoing anastomotic urethroplasty were less likely to report de novo PVD (odds ratio [OR] 0.33, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.13–0.83, p=0.02). No other factor was associated with de novo PVD, including age (p=0.59), stricture length (p=0.71), location (p=0.50), etiology (p=0.59), failed endoscopic treatment (p=0.18), previous urethroplasty (p=0.55), or recurrence (p=0.78). De novo PVD was not associated with patient dissatisfaction (10.1% vs. 7.6%, p=0.49).
Conclusions: Postvoid dribbling is common in patients with urethral stricture. While there is an overall improvement after urethroplasty, 18.0% of patients will experience de novo PVD, with a reduced incidence in those undergoing anastomotic urethroplasty.

The results of this study can be the solution for the Cauchy’s problem for particular Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE). This is also related to study of the complete monotone function and the divided differences theory. The proof is based on the empty product convention notion and the Beppo Levi theorem of Monotone convergence. This study is also extended to multivariate generalization of the simultaneous inequalities. Key Words: ODEs, Inequalities, Population Dynamics, Simultaneous Inequalities, Divided differences.
METHOD OF SPACE BASED SOLAR POWER EXTRACTION USING MICROWAVES
Authors: Chowdhury Aniruddha
Published: July 2023

Space-based solar power (SBSP) presents a promising solution to meet the increasing global demandfor clean and sustainable energy. This abstract outline a novel method for extracting solar power fromspace through the utilization of microwaves. By leveraging advances in wireless power transmission and space-based infrastructure, this method aims to overcome the limitations of terrestrial solar power generation, such as intermittent sunlight and land constraints. The proposed method involves the deployment of a network of solar power satellites (SPS) in geostationary orbit, equipped with highly efficient solar panels to capture sunlight. The collected solar energy is then converted into microwave radiation using specialized rectifying antennas and microwave transmitters aboard the SPS. These microwaves are beamed towards a receiving station on Earth, which consists of a large rectifying antenna array. At the receiving station, the microwave energy is converted back into electrical energyusing high- efficiency rectifiers. The electricity can then be integrated into the existing power grid for immediate distribution and consumption. The use of microwaves allows for long-range wireless power transmission, overcoming the limitations of traditional power transmission methods. This proposed method offers several advantages. Firstly, by capturing solar energy in space, it eliminates many of the limitations faced by ground-based solar power, such as weather conditions and daylight fluctuations. Moreover, the large surface area available on solar power satellites allows for efficient energy collection. Additionally, the wireless transmission of power minimizes energy losses during distribution, making it a highly efficient and environmentally friendly solution. The feasibility of this method requires advancements in several key areas, including the development of lightweight and cost- effective solar panels, efficient rectifying antennas, and high-power microwave transmitters. Furthermore, extensive research is necessary to ensure the safety and minimal environmental impact of the microwave energy beam during transmission.

Published: July 2023

Background: Patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) require complex intensive care, and family involvement plays an essential role in achieving patient recovery. Family-centered care in the intensive care unit (ICU) benefits patients, families, and healthcare workers.
Objective: This case study aimed to evaluate the family-centered care approach for patients with MODS in the ICU.
Case: A 46-year-old male patient with MODS presented various problems, including the risk of respiratory infections, impaired renal perfusion, and pressure sores. An interview with the patient’s family revealed that they felt guilty, worried, and lacked sufficient information about the patient’s condition. The interventions provided to the family included giving them information about the patient’s condition, care plans, and evaluation results after procedures, providing spiritual guidance, offering family support, and involving them in the patient’s required procedures. 
Conclusion: After the patient had been admitted for two days, there was an improvement in the patient’s outcomes. Simultaneously, the patient’s family experienced a sense of calmness and increased satisfaction with the provided health services. To facilitate the implementation of family-centered care in the ICU, it is crucial to further develop hospital policies. Moreover, achieving successful family-centered care necessitates the support and cooperation of the medical staff.
