Authors: Aiko Onda Ana Beatriz , Coltri Breno , Gabrielle De Lima Leao Lana , Caroline Freire Viviani , Possari Maziero Luana
Published: January 2024

A quantidade de alimentos desperdiçados foi de 931 milhões de toneladas em 2019, sendo que 26% desse valor é descartado pelo setor de serviços, onde a escola está inserida. Considerando que o desperdício de alimentos é um problema de ordem social, econômico e ambiental, é fundamental o desenvolvimento de pesquisas que proponham soluções efetivas para sua resolução. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é verificar a situação do desperdício em uma escola e propor ações de minimização e conscientização do desperdício de alimentos. Por meio da pesagem de alimentos, constatou o descarte de 165 kg de alimentos na semana de 06 de junho de 2022 a 10 de junho de 2022, apesar de 81,5% dos alunos respondentes da pesquisa alegarem não desperdiçar comida. Diante desse cenário, propõe-se o desenvolvimento de projetos que tragam maior consciência do valor do alimento, como o cultivo de uma horta, até a inclusão desse assunto em sala de aula, incentivando o protagonismo do aluno.

Authors: Sazali Hasan , Mustafa Ali
Published: January 2024

This article aims to analyze the use of YouTube in an effort to strengthen religious moderation in Indonesia on the official YouTube account of the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia, "Kemenag RI". The Ministry of Religion was chosen as the subject of the study because it is an institution that is the leading sector in strengthening religious moderation in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative method. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. This study found several conclusions. First, the use of the YouTube channel in strengthening the issue of religious moderation requires intensification efforts, especially in terms of the variety of themes and the type of content uploaded. Second, the idea of religious moderation that is uploaded revolves around two forms, namely the idea of conception and the idea of action. The notion of conception explains religious moderation as a religious way that is tolerant, spreads compassion, and is non-violent. The idea of action describes a number of programs carried out by the government to strengthen religious moderation in Indonesia. Third, netizens' response to religious moderation content is in two forms of participation, namely affiliation and expression.

Authors: Krisdinanto Nanang , Apul Merlina Maria Barbara , Hartiana Theresia Intan
Published: January 2024

This research is motivated by two primary factors. First, the emergence of alternative news media can be considered as a counterbalance to the professional news media with their various biases. The second pertains to the protracted legislative process of the Sexual Violence Bill (RUU TPKS) before its eventual enactment. The objective of this study is to see examine these two media categories frame the protracted struggle in the legislative process of the TPKS Bill, given that framing reflects the media's perspective, which subsequently influence the audience's understanding of the issue. The subjects of this research are news related to the TPKS Bill as presented by both professional and alternative media in Indonesia. This research employs a qualitative approach in conjunction with the framing method developed by Robert Entman. This study’s findings reveal diametrical contrast in the frames adopted by professional and alternative media in reporting the TPKS Bill. Professional media constructs a frame that characterizes the protracted discussion of the TPKS Bill in the DPR as a technical-procedural problem. In contrast, alternative media framed it as a result of the DPR’s failure or lack of commitment to protect victims of sexual violence.

Abstract: Background: Primary care physicians have a vital opportunity to help their patients quit smoking. They need to provide an individualized approach to them while in the cessation process in order to help them understand. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the individualized interacting factors and principles of starting, maintaining, quitting, and relapse of tobacco addiction among smokers. Materials and Methods: This qualitative research performed between March and December 2015 involved 331 smokers who had applied to the Ondokuz Mayis University, Medical Faculty Family Medicine Cessation Clinic, Türkiye. In the first meeting, a workshop (lasting approximately 1 hour) was held for all the participants (31) and recorded. In this workshop the participants discussed how they started smoking and why they wanted to quit. They reported examples of successful quitting with which they were familiar, together with any precautions they took in order to protect themselves and the people around them. Every workshop was decoded and analyzed by the researchers. Result: One hundred nineteen (35.7%) of the participants were women, and the mean age of the study group was 37.75 ± 12.41 years. Most of the participants (n=280, 85%) began smoking under the age of 18, with a close friend providing the cigarettes in the majority of cases (n=212, 64%). The main motivation differed between younger and older participants. In order to protect themselves, participants used external tar filters, smoked ‘light’ cigarettes, and refrained from smoking after eating or before sleeping. They also tended to smoke in the kitchen or on the balcony to protect other household members from their smoke. In addition, the participants increased their physical activity levels, requested more laboratory or screening tests from their physicians, and consumed healthier diets (honey, vitamin pills, and water). Conclusion: The addiction dynamics of cigarette addicts differ very widely.

Abstract: Background: Dental anxiety is a vicious cycle in which avoidance of dental care, poor oral health, and psychosocial consequences are prevalent. It might be a significant impediment to receiving prompt dental care until absolutely required. Objectives: To evaluate the level of dental anxiety and pain in patients receiving root canal treatment and to identify factors that might increase anxiety levels. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at Fatima Jinnah Dental College Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan from the period of August-December 2022. The study included participants who scheduled their first appointment for endodontic treatment during this period. Participants were included between the ages of 18 and 60, those who provided verbal consent. The sample size of 100 cases were calculated through power analysis at a 95% confidence interval. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 20 software. P-value <0.05 was considered significant. Result: According to the Modified dental anxiety scale, the average score was 12.7±4.53, which is considered to be a moderate anxiety. The Pearson correlation of mean anxiety score showed statistically significantly results such as gender (p<0.001), age (p<0.001), level of education (p=0.015), employment (p=0.029), ethnicity (p=0.009) and level of pain (p=0.008). The study showed a lower pain threshold among female patients than males with a statistically significant result (p=0.008). Conclusion: The incidence of dental anxiety among study participants ranged from mild to moderate. Women, young patients, and those with less education were more concerned than their male counterparts. Patients who need urgent root canal therapy more commonly experience dental pain and anxiety.

Abstract: Background: The success and survival of any healthcare organization depends on the patient’s satisfaction and quality. Patient satisfaction plays a vital role in the performance of care. Objective: To identify the factors influencing patient satisfaction with outpatient quality services in public and private hospitals. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on outpatient patients from different public and private hospital settings in Karachi, Pakistan. Data was collected through virtual tools such as Google Docs, asking about their experience of outdoor patients (OPD) in public or private hospitals. Using a non-probability, convenience sampling technique, a 5% margin of error and a confidence interval of 95%, the sample size was calculated as 377 participants rounded off to 400. Respondents were divided into males and females who visited any specialty department or general OPD. A self-administered questionnaire was designed to gather data, and a digital tool such as Google Docs was used to reach a wider audience. The reliability of the pre-validated tools has been assessed through Cronbach’s alpha. The Cronbach alpha for outpatient quality services is 0.717, and patients’ satisfaction is 0.98. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 25V by IBM Corporation. Result: Most respondents were from the age group (26-35 years), making up 42% of the entire population. Data gathered showed private hospitals preference over public hospitals and satisfaction as well. All the quality service variables identified in the study had a direct relationship with patient satisfaction except waiting time, which had a negative relationship. Regression Analysis showed a positive impact on the availability of services; thus 1% increase in service will lead to a 0.484% change in patient satisfaction. A negative relationship was also witnessed with a 1% increase in waiting time patient satisfaction is down by 0.119%. Conclusion: The level of satisfaction in public hospitals was not quite adequate, and the services were correspondingly rated as exceptional. The findings suggest that focusing on the nature of physician-related services, waiting for test results, and waiting for appointments are the most important factors impacting patient satisfaction in the outpatient division.

Abstract: Background: Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and Pulse Pressure (PP) are both key parameters to diagnose and manage cardiovascular diseases and hypertension, a leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally. Men and women are physically different from each other. Objective: Is to evaluate gender-based comparison of MAP and PP of healthy adults after stress induction. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was designed and conducted in the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences (IBMS) at Khyber Medical University (KMU) from January 2022 to April 2022. A total of fifty-two participants including twenty-six males and twenty-six females were selected using convenience sampling. Sample size estimation was carried out using G*Power. Healthy adults between the age of 18-40 years were included in the study. Blood Pressure (BP) and Heart Rate (HR) were checked both before and after the stress induction. MAP and PP were calculated using the formulas obtained from the literature i.e., MAP = DP + 1/3 (PP) and PP = SBP-DBP. Result: The mean age of males was 27.16 ± 4.28 years and that of females was 23.15 ± 2.86 years. Both pre and post stress comparison of mean difference between healthy adult males and females, revealed no significant difference between MAP (Post-Stress p=0.97 and Pre-Stress p=0.61), PP (Post-Stress p=0.18 and Pre-Stress p=0.05) and HR (Post-Stress p=0.11 and Pre-Stress p=0.57). Males had a higher PP than females in both pre and post stress phase. Females had a slightly higher MAP than males in the pre stress phase. In the post stress phase, MAP showed a positive correlation with HR and PP. While in the pre stress phase, all the variables (MAP, PP and HR) showed no correlation with each other. Conclusion: MAP and PP show no significant difference between healthy adult males and females, after stress induction.

Abstract: Gender-based violence (GBV) is a major public health concern resulting in physical, psychological, sexual, and social issues. GBV during pregnancy may results in complicated and grave consequences for mother and unborn child. The prevalence of GBV was reportedly higher in developing countries, indicating higher maternal and child mortalities. Effect of GBV on pregnancy has been reported to enhance the chances of prolonged labor, obstructed labor and in severe injuries higher incidents of miscarriages and abortions are also been reported. Moreover, fetal respiratory distress, diarrhea, small for gestaional age and Intra Uterine Growth Retardation (IUGR) have also been reported. This review aims to present a systematic view of genderbased violence and its association with adverse pregnancy outcomes and to contribute by filling the existing information gap. Review assessed the effect of GBV during pregnancy on fetal health, reporting infant diarrhea more frequently, along with fever, vomiting, and respiratory distress. The significant association between adverse maternal and fetal outcomes and gender-based violence has been evaluated extensively.

Published: January 2024

A floresta amazônica apesar de ser reverenciada como um ecossistema de suma importância, é sujeita a subjetividades que são forjadas na história da própria pessoa e do contexto sociocultural. Para desvelar tais subjetividades as Percepções Ambientais (PA) surgem como um caminho metodológico promissor. Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar as PAs sobre a floresta amazônica e sua importância para discente de pós-graduação em ciências ambientais de uma IES do Amazonas. Caracterizou, como um estudo exploratório descritivo, desenvolvido em plena pandemia do Covid-19, momento em que os participantes responderam on-line a um questionário semiestruturado (Google Forms). Participaram do estudo 48 discentes (26 mulheres e 22 homens) com idades entre 25 e 69 anos. Os resultados demonstram a notoriedade da floresta não só em contextos regionais e nacionais, mas com enorme relevância internacional. Assim, conclui-se que a floresta detém, segundo a percepção desses discentes uma importância complexa, marcada por uma tríade conceitual, que expressa diferentes aspectos da notoriedade desse ecossistema, seja nas esferas nacionais ou internacionais. Materializando a floresta com uma importância estratégica, pautada sobretudo por seu poder de regulação (climático, manutenção do solo, fluxo de ar, polinização, entre outros) e em sua capacidade de suporte (ciclagem de nutrientes, manutenção da biodiversidade...).
AI-Based Well-Integrity Monitoring Shows Promise

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 211093, “Development of an Artificial-Intelligence-Based Well-Integrity Monitoring Solution,” by Prihandono Aditama, SPE, Tina Koziol, and Meindert Dillen, Wintershall Dea. The paper has not been peer reviewed.

_

This paper presents the proof of concept (PoC) of artificial intelligence (AI)-based well-integrity monitoring for gas-lift, natural-flow, and water-injector wells. AI-model prototypes were built to detect annulus leakage as incident-relevant anomalies from time-series sensor data. The AI models for gas-lift and natural-flow wells achieved a sufficient level of performance, with a minimum of 75% of historical events detected and less than one false positive per month per well.

Problem Statement

In the exploration and production industry, historical well-integrity events are rare because systems are designed as robustly as possible to prevent incidents. For the authors’ study, there were only 12 historical wellbore leakage incidents spanning 13 years of well operations in the assets considered. The events were treated separately for each well type. This challenge is normally known as anomaly detection and has been studied in various fields where time-series data are used.

For a historical incident, two types of anomalies were identified:

- Short-term incident relevant anomaly (SIRA), an anomaly occurring within 1 day

- Long-term incident relevant anomaly (LIRA), an anomaly lasting for more than 1 day

Objective and Success Criteria

The primary objective of the PoC was to validate the hypothesis that incident-relevant anomalies from historical well-sensor data can be predicted and monitored by using adequate AI models. A generalized AI model was built so that it would detect a well-annulus leakage in future wells. Success criteria were defined by two approaches: a human-centric approach and a statistical approach.

For the human-centric approach, the future users were interviewed to obtain insights about their requirements for tool performance. The feedback was mapped against a confusion matrix. Users preferred to optimize the number of correctly predicted historical incidents (true positives) while achieving an acceptable number of false positives. In general, wrong predictions were seen as acceptable (false positives) to a certain degree, depending on the number of wells under a user’s responsibility.

Based on those insights, the AI model was optimized for recall instead of precision. Recall (sometimes known as sensitivity) is defined as the number of true positives divided by the total of true positives and false negatives and measures the miss rate. The tradeoff for choosing this approach means the AI model will report some false alarms.

Wellsite geologists spend approximately 70% of their time on cuttings descriptions. In addition, two or three wellsite geologists generally are assigned to a drilling campaign, to be replaced at the end of a shift. Machine-learning (ML) and artificial-intelligence (AI) techniques have the potential to solve these issues because of their advantages in prediction speed, objectivity, and consistency. The authors’ aim is to automate the task of cuttings descriptions with these techniques. A trained model for cuttings description has the potential to realize quantitative, high-speed cuttings description.

Methods and Materials

Six wells were selected for this study (Poseidon-1, Ichthys2A ST-1, Ichthys2A ST-2, Dinichthys north1, Ichthys north1, and Ichthys north1 ST1). The wells were drilled in the Browse Basin through various lithologies. The authors focused on four lithologies (carbonate, sandstone, mudstone, and volcanic) and collected the cuttings from these lithologies. The total number of cuttings was 160 (21 carbonate, 58 sandstone, 52 mudstone, and 29 volcanic). The cuttings were used in their original dry condition. Each cutting was transported to a Petri plate in a random and sparse layout using tweezers. A stereomicroscope and a digital camera were prepared. Magnification was 6.3X, and picture size was 1,600 pixels in width and 1,200 pixels in height. Pictures were taken randomly, with approximately 20 photographs for each sample.

The annotation was conducted by geologists using annotation software. Five label classes were used (sandstone, mudstone, carbonate, volcanic, and background). The total number of annotation data was 1,978. The annotated data were split as training label data, validation label data, and test label data. The pictures were also split as training data, validation data, and test data. The picture and label data were paired. In this study, 1,496 pictures and label data were used as training data sets, 320 pictures and label data were used as validation data, and 162 pictures and label data were used as test data.

Four architectures of semantic segmentation were created (PSPNet, Unet, FPN, and Linknet), including two different networks (ResNet152 and EfficientNetB7), and training models were created. The total number of trained models was eight. As a result, the combination of PSPNet and EfficientNetB7 showed the best performance. The combination of PSPNet and EfficientNetB7 was chosen as the architecture of this project. Hyperparameters were chosen in the best practice case. Mean intersection over union (IOU) was used as the model evaluation index.
ITrans: Generative Image Inpainting with Transformers (ChinaMM)
Authors: Miao Wei , Wang Lijun , Lu Huchuan , Huang Kaining , Shi Xinchu , Liu Bocong
Published: January 2024

Despite significant improvements, convolutional neural network (CNN) based methods are struggling with handling long-range global image dependencies due to their limited receptive fields, leading to an unsatisfactory inpainting performance under complicated scenarios. To address this issue, we propose the Inpainting Transformer (ITrans) network, which combines the power of both self-attention and convolution operations. The ITrans network augments convolutional encoder-decoder structure with two novel designs, \ie, the Global and Local Transformers. The Global Transformer aggregates high-level image context from the encoder in a global perspective, and propagates the encoded global representation to the decoder in a multi-scale manner. Meanwhile, the Local Transformer is intended to extract low-level image details inside the local neighborhood at a reduced computational overhead. By incorporating the above two Transformers, ITrans is capable of both global relationship modeling and local details encoding, which is essential for hallucinating perceptually realistic images. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed ITrans network outperforms favorably against state-of-the-art inpainting methods both quantitatively and qualitatively.

In the health assessment course, the control group was given regular teaching contents according to the teaching standards, while the innovation group was given the teaching content required by the teaching standards, with the virtue and ethics education integrated into the corresponding knowledge points in the teaching design.The two groups' following performances were compared: the scores of the Nurses' Professional Values Scale - Revised (NPVS-R), the scores of virtue and ethics in the practice assessment, and the average volunteer service time.
Results
The innovation group scored higher than the control group in terms of the total score, Factor 1, Factor 3, Factor 4, and Factor 5 modules of the NPVS-R (P < 0.05); no significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of the module score of Factor 2 (P > 0.05); and the scores of virtue and ethics in the practical assessment and the average volunteer service hours of the innovation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
Integrating virtue and ethics education into the teaching of the health assessment course is a useful supplement to medical ethics education, and it can influence students positively in cognition, skills and behavior for virtue and ethics.

Background.
Metatarsus adductus is a relatively common congenital foot deformity often unrecognized at birth. There is adduction of the metatarsals, supination of the subtalar joint, and plantarflexion of the first ray.
Methods: The present study aimed to assess the intra and inter-reader reliability of the radiographic metatarsus adductus measurement angles used in the literature.
All consecutive patients over two years and under 12 years of age with metatarsus adductus by roentgenographic evaluation on weight-bearing dorsoplantar images were included in a cross-sectional study.
Results: We identified and assessed all radiographic measurements to evaluate the Metatarsus adductus with the different measurements commonly used nowadays. Berg’s angle, Kilmartin’s angle, Laaveg & Ponseti angle, Rearfoot angle, Root’s angle and Simon’s angle. Results: The reliability of the variables measured in 32 weight-bearing dorsoplantar foot radiographs show excellent reliability ranging in Laaveg - Ponseti and rearfoot angles with low SEM, CV, and MCD with ICC higher than 0,990, Kilmartin, Root, and Simons angles showed an intra or inter reliability with ICC higher than 0,900 but systematic differences between intersession or inter observers (p<0.05) or high MCD value.
Conclusion: It is more suitable to measure the MA angle with the techniques of Laaveg and Ponseti angle and rearfoot angle to show higher reliability and repeatability of Intra and inter-observer.

In order to improve the efficiency of water-jet pump and reduce or eliminate the hump phenomenon, it is necessary to optimize the impeller design. In this paper, the optimization of water-jet propulsion pump is studied by combining numerical simulation and experiment.The orthogonal optimization design scheme is established. Based on the numerical simulation method, the hydraulic performance indexes such as energy coefficient, torque coefficient and efficiency of the design points of different design schemes are obtained. The final optimization design is completed by further optimizing the profile and spatial position of the optimal efficiency factor level combination A2B1C1D1 at different spanwise heights.Then, based on the results of numerical simulation by CFX, using Python and LabVIEW programming software, a pump flow head curve fitting and hump judgment program is developed, which can realize the function of curve fitting of flow head, giving the position of trough and peak, and calculating the value of hump climbing coefficient Chump. The influence of different blade structure parameters on the hydraulic performance and energy characteristic curve hump of the water-jet pump is analyzed, and the optimization design of the high-performance water-jet pump considering the hump index is completed. In summary, This method is not only applicable to the hydraulic optimization of the water-jet propulsion pump, but also the research results can provide theoretical basis and technical support for the high-performance and low-vibration design of the water jet propulsion pump.

Published: January 2024

Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) often requires stent implantation leading to cardiovascular injury and cytokine release. Stent implantation induces cytokines production including TNFα, Hs-CRP, IL-1ß, IL2 receptor, IL6, IL8, and IL10, but their co-release is not extensively established. In 311 PCI patients with Drug-Eluting Stent (DES) implantation, we statistically evaluate the correlation of these cytokines release in various clinical conditions, stent numbers, and medications. We observed that TNFα is moderately correlated with IL-1ß (r2 = 0.59, p = 0.001) in diabetic PCI patients. Similarly, in NSTEMI (Non-ST Segment Elevation) patients, TNFα is strongly correlated with both IL-1ß (r2 = 0.97, p = 0.001) and IL8 (r2 = 0.82, p = 0.001). In CAD (Coronary Artery Disease)-diagnosed patients TNFα is highly correlated (r2 = 0.84, p = 0.0001) with IL8 release but not with IL-1ß. In patients with an increased number of stents, Hs-CRP is significantly coupled with IL8 > 5pg/ml (t-statistic = 4.5, p < 0.0001). Inflammatory suppressor drugs are correlated as TNFα and IL8 are better suppressed by Metoprolol 23.75 (r2 = 0.58, p < 0.0001) than by Metoprolol 11.87 (r2 = 0.80, p = 0.5306). Increased TNFα and IL-1ß are better suppressed by the antiplatelet drug Brilinta (r2 = 0.30, p < 0.0001) but not with Clopidogrel (r2 = 0.87, p < 0.0001). ACI/ARB Valsartan 80 (r2 = 0.43, p = 0.0011) should be preferred over Benazepril 5.0 (r2 = 0.9291, p < 0.0001) or Olmesartan (r2 = 0.90, p = 0.0001). Thus, the co-release of IL-1ß, IL8 with TNFα, or only IL8 with TNFα could be a better predictor for the outcome of stent implantation in NSTEMI and CAD-diagnosed AMI patients respectively. Cytokine suppressive medications should be chosen carefully to inhibit further cardiovascular damage.
A novel version of hierarchical genetic algorithm and its application for hyperparameters optimization in CNN models for structural delamination identification
Authors: Yu Chuan , Zheng ShiJie
Published: January 2024

This paper proposes a novel approach for modelling the dynamic characteristics of composite laminated structures. The proposed numerical model employs the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) in combination with non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) to accurately capture the behavior of the laminated plate. The free vibration response of the composite plate is obtained by applying Hamilton's principle in conjunction with isogeometric analysis (IGA). The study investigates the effects of delamination location and size on the natural frequencies of the composite plate. The efficiency and precision in identifying the location and size of delamination are specified through a comparison of the computed results with those that exist in the published literature. To further enhance the accuracy of delamination prediction, this study employs two convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures. One CNN model is designed to predict the damage degree of delamination, while the other is a multi-output regression model used to predict the X and Y coordinates of the delamination center. Using frequency shifts as the input for the network, which is readily obtainable data. Compared to other machine learning models, this method offers significant advantages in delamination prediction, achieving up to 95% accuracy in evaluating the damage degree quantification. However, parameter settings have an effect on the prediction accuracy of delamination in laminated plates. In response to this issue, a novel delamination prediction model is developed in this paper. The hierarchical genetic algorithm is used to optimize the architecture of CNN. The CNN based on a hierarchical genetic algorithm (HGACNN) achieves a prediction accuracy improvement of 20–30% compared to conventional machine learning networks currently in use.
The influence of multidimensional urban form of counties on carbon emissions of residents and its planning implications: Evidence from counties in the Yangtze River Delta, China

Published: January 2024

Accurate estimation of the impact of urban form on carbon emissions of residents (CER) is a crucial prerequisite for China to adopt effective low-carbon spatial planning strategies and achieve the carbon peak and neutrality goals (hereafter “dual carbon” goals). However, as the most basic governmental unit and the new energy consumer in China, counties have rarely been concerned, and the relationship between their urban form and the CER is still limitedly understood.This paper seeks to investigate how urban form influences the CER by taking the 90 counties in the Yangtze River Delta of China as a case study. First, considering the features of the county's urban form and residents' energy consumption, this study focused on analyzing the urban form of the main center and the overall urban form composed of the main center and surrounding towns. Second, based on the needs of sustainable development at county level and the framework of China's territorial spatial planning, this study defined urban form in two dimensions: geometric-aspect urban form and built environment-aspect urban form. Finally, the relationships between urban form and the CER were modelled using partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM). Results reveal that (1) the geometric-aspect urban form variables (scale, compactness, spatial structures, and shape) exert a direct influence on the CER.Controlling the urban development boundary, increasing compactness of themain center, developing in the direction of multiple centers, and minimizing the complexity and narrowness of theshape of the main center positively impact the CER. (2) For the built environment-aspect urban form variables, improving the accessibility of public service facilities and green space coverage is beneficial for counties to reduce the CER, and currently improving road traffic status and energy infrastructurehas a significant contribution to the growth of the CER.(3) The geometric characteristics of urban form indirectly affect the CER by influencing the built environment characteristics of urban form. Road traffic, greening spaces, public service facilities, and energy infrastructureare influential intermediaries. This study identifies the intricate correlation between the county's urban form and the CER, providing a scientific foundation for the formulation of policies aimed at optimizing urban form and achieving “dual carbon” goals.
