Expansive and expensive EP training: A CHAT analysis of the EP training programme in Scotland
Authors: Colville Tracey , Horribine Gillian
Published: July 2023

Aims

This paper presents a study investigating factors underpinning EP training in Scotland and the impact of these on trainee Educational Psychology learning and development. It draws on second-generation Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) (Engeström, 2001) and activity system analysis (Yagamata-Lynch, 2010) to consider the organizational, social, cultural and historical factors that have influenced the current training programme.

Method

The views of six stakeholder groups were gathered via on-line questionnaire (lecturers, guest speakers, trainees, Educational Psychology (EP) managers, EP practice supervisors, and governance-level professionals). Analysis of qualitative data was undertaken first via thematic analysis and then CHAT analysis.

Findings

Findings indicate that trainees, lecturers and practitioners have a sophisticated understanding of the dialogic, reflective, relational and collaborative aspects of trainee learning on placement and at university. However, contradictions between elements of the training activity system may hinder optimal delivery of training and governance of the training partnership. These include: (a) ‘clunky 2-stage model (tool) versus clarity of roles in delivery and governance of the training programme’, (b) Clunky 2-stage model versus optimal trainee experience in year 3 of training, (c) university/professional standards versus contractual/funding obligations versus quality of trainee experience. These finding suggests potential for expansive development as all six stakeholder groups emphasised the need to move to a three-year doctoral programme. Barriers to this are considered as the primary contradiction in EP training in relation to cost/ benefits for each stakeholder group invested in the training partnership.

Limitations

The views of some stakeholders in the training partnership such as local authority and government representatives were not included in the study and inclusion of those using DWR methodology could have enabled discussion on sustainable transformation in the training model.

Conclusions

A nuanced CHAT analysis of trainee learning and development and the broader partnership model of training in Scotland has not been studied in this way before and therefore makes a significant contribution to research in this area. The findings and insights of this study may provide evidence to policy-makers and budget holders to support decision making around development of future training programmes.
Comparative Evaluation Of Schwarz Analysis In Adult Male And Female Population Of Vidarbha Region- A Pilot Study
Authors: Nambiar Karthika
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Cephalometric norms are essential and consistent measures that aid in determining the degree of deviation from normality. There have been various studies that have concluded that the cephalometric norms of one ethnic group should not be regarded as normal and should not be generalised to other ethnic groups. Aiding to the need for determining norms for an individual population, we conducted this study in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, aiming to create norms for Schwarz analysis and compare the male and female population of Vidarbha region. Material and methodology: Lateral cephalograms of 100 subjects (50 males and 50 females) were traced and cephalometric measurement for Schwarz analysis were noted for males and females respectively. Results: statistically significant results were obtained and norms were created for the male and female population of Vidarbha.

Significant improvement in clinical signs and symptoms were achieved.
«Tutto il colore tiene»
Authors: Amico Deianira
Published: July 2023

Colour is a central issue in Renato Birolli’s painting and theory since it is discussed by the artist in his writings and diary’s notes starting from the mid-1930s. The article highlights Delacroix, Van Gogh and Cézenne influence in Birolli’s work, discussing his theory of “colour-form”.
Il colore luce
Authors: Consonni Giancarlo
Published: July 2023

Light plays a prominent role in the painting of Jan Vermeer (1632-1675). In the interiors he paints, light enters discreetly as a gift. Light seems to create what it makes visible. Everyday life, which is the dominant theme in the Delft master’s work, is portrayed with a profound religiousness. Vermeer regards the sacred as life itself. It is as if life were taken by surprise, thanks to Vermeer’s ability to seize the moment. A theatrical sagacity allows the artist to fix the moment. One might better call it a ‘cinematographic’ sagacity. This is the main condition for memorability, for Vermeer’s paintings are deeply remembered like few others. The artist’s work is guided by the credibility of what is depicted. Vermeer thus achieves a double result. On the one hand, he makes concrete moments in the lives of the depicted characters, who are mostly young women. On the other, he effectively documents the flourishing historical and geographical context of 17th century Holland. How does beauty work in all this? It is the humanity of the characters that becomes beauty. Like few other painters Vermeer succeeds in bringing out the inner beauty of the person depicted. His painting Girl with a turban is one of his masterpieces: it is like a flash of lightning that goes through us.
Su alcune questioni di logica e ontologia del colore
Authors: Meo Oscar
Published: July 2023

This paper discusses some logic and ontological difficulties within colour theory: whether colour is an objective or subjective property; the difference among surface, atmospheric, and volume colour; the fact that colour names are vague, because they do not denote definite objects, but ranges; the puzzling question of “achromatic” colours. After shortly outlining the philosophical implications of various colorimetric systems, I discuss three possible interpretations of Aristotle’s claim that properties such as colours are inseparable from individual substances.
La lingua dei colori in psicoanalisi
Authors: Muzio Treccani Maddalena , Rivardo Mario
Published: July 2023

From the unconscious of speech to the structure of Id (Es), silent in its colours and forms, the language of colours in psychoanalysis is configured in dreams, children’s drawings and artists’ works as a universal residue of our belonging to nature and at the same time participates, with its grammar, morphology and syntax, in the process of constructing the subject that makes each person unique in his or her own history. As Virginia Finzi Ghisi writes, if we deal with painting as psychoanalysts, it is because “every form of art reflects the structure of the psychic apparatus”.
I colori nel Giappone antico
Authors: Pasqualotto Giangiorgio
Published: July 2023

For a long time, a tenacious prejudice has cultivated the idea that the West has produced the best ways of both knowing the world and organising existence. An integral part of this prejudice is the views on colour theories. Whether referring to the ancient Greeks, Goethe or Newton, for too long it has been thought (and sometimes still is thought) that it is the various Western colour theories that best describe the sensory experience that brings human beings into contact with colour. In a certain sense, that is, as theories, this is true. But it is not true that only colour theories allow us to have the best possible experience of colours. This observation is well illustrated by the case of ancient Japan, which lacked specific colour theories, but was very rich in colour sensitivity.

Il poeta dei colori Max Dauthendey
Authors: Rovagnati Gabriella
Published: July 2023

The article is dedicated to Max Dauthendey, a poet little studied even by Germanists. What characterises his texts is his particular sensitivity to colour in all its nuances, so much so that his name, even in hasty newspaper articles or in schematic encyclopaedia entries, is often accompanied by the term ‘Farbendichter’ [colour poet].

The impact of a universal admission order on health system capacity
Authors: Schreyer Kraftin Ellice , Allan Jack , Jones Michele , DelPortal Daniel A.
Published: July 2023

In our health system with multiple campuses, a universal admissions order (UAO) was introduced to further improve patient flow. We hypothesized that the UAO would more evenly distribute health system capacity, with an increase in admissions to the community affiliate sites. Inpatient and emergency department (ED) metrics were evaluated, and included total admissions, admissions to each clinical site from each ED, the time to the inpatient bed being ready to receive the ED patient, boarding times, and the left without being seen rate. After implementation of the UAO, the average time to inpatient beds being ready to accept ED patients decreased at all three clinical sites by an average of 25 minutes. Admissions were more evenly distributed amongst the three clinical sites, with 3% of all admissions admitted to a new campus. While there were likely other variables at play, there was system-wide reduction in the time to inpatient beds being ready to accept ED patients, and an improvement in boarding at the main clinical site. Our work suggests that a UAO could be a useful adjunct to central capacity management in a health system with multiple clinical campuses.
Instrumental Analysis of English Vowels Produced by Male and Female Zilfaawi Arabic Speakers
Authors: Alammar Ammar
Published: July 2023

Arab and non-Arab English as a foreign language (EFL) students continue to have difficulty pronouncing English vowels accurately. To examine this, our study analyzes how male and female Saudi EFL students pronounce English monophthongs when compared to native speakers assessed in previous research. Gender-related variations between male and female Arab English speakers are also explored. Formant frequencies (F1 and F2) are employed to evaluate vowel quality, with vowel duration measured to investigate vowel length. Learners’ pronunciations of English words containing vowels of interest are used to collect data. Five male and five female EFL learners produced English monophthongs in the /hVd/ context. We then compare the results with previous data on native English speakers and conduct acoustic analysis. Regarding duration, male non-native English speakers’ data are compared with previous results for male native speakers, revealing that the vowels of Saudi learners are shorter than those of native English speakers, and those of non-native men are longer than those of non-native women. Moreover, the low vowels produced by Saudi and native men are longer than their non-low vowels. Regarding vowel quality, men produce lower vowels than native speakers. Women, however, produce lower and more front vowels than native women. Statistically, this study reveals significant differences between male and female Saudi EFL learners in producing English vowels. Saudi men’s vowel space is more centralized than Saudi women’s space. Both men and women overlap low vowels. Saudi learners’ mispronunciations of English vowels indicate that L1 interference is not the only cause of mispronunciations.
Peer- and Self-Assessment in Primary School English Language Classrooms
Authors: Mohamed Mazidah , Abdul Razak Norizan , Wahi Wahiza
Published: July 2023

Peer- and self-assessment could benefit the pupils in learning English language as a second language due to the aspects of essential whole group and individual reflections within the practice. This paper intends to investigate the practices of peer- and self-assessment among the national primary school English language teachers in a district in Selangor, Malaysia via a mixed methods approach. A survey was administered on 244 teachers, followed by interview and classroom observation on eight subset participants. From the survey, approximately 93% of the respondents had an emerging practice of peer- and self-assessment in their English language classrooms, which happened 50% of the time. The interview and observation findings show that the teachers needed extra time to train the pupils for the practice of peer- and self-assessment, mostly on written work, but also applicable during reading and speaking lessons. Pupils could apply self-assessment by knowing their levels and what to be done, sometimes based on worksheets and checklists. Sometimes, peer- and self-assessment were difficult and confusing among the pupils with lower English language proficiency levels. In the classroom, the pupils needed more time to receive guidance and training from the teachers in order to practise peer- and self-assessment, despite not fully in English. This implies that the teachers were attempting to enact peer- and self-assessment among the pupils, albeit rather deviating from the target language at times.
Investigating the Contrastive Grammar Problems EFL learners Encounter in Arabic-English Translation
Authors: Betti Mohammed Jasim , Bsharah Amenah Mohammed
Published: July 2023

The continuous development of science, culture, and technology has increased the need for translation in modern life. The importance of the translation process should not be ignored because it always involves the translation texts from one language into another. English and Arabic share some similarities and differences, so we must keep this in mind. Many linguistic problems arise during the translation process. Accordingly, this study aims to identify the grammatical problems that EFL learners face when translating from Arabic into English as a target language; design and implement a test to find out such grammatical problems that fourth year students face when translating from Arabic into English; and provide solutions for these problems that Iraqi EFL learners encounter in Arabic-English translation. This study hypothesizes that the interference of the mother tongue and literal translation lead to incorrect translation; the most frequent problems in Arabic-English translation are those related to tenses, nominal vs verbal sentences, and word order; and problems that learners do not suffer from in Arabic-English translation are adjectives and negation. The test is taken by the morning and evening participants at the Dept. of English, College of Education for Humanities, University of Thi-Qar, 100 students (morning and evening) take the test throughout the academic year (2022-2023). The test consists of 20 Arabic items and the students are required to translate them into English. The research concludes that the greatest problematic areas for both morning and evening participants are: the past participle, the conditional sentences, the nominal vs. Verbal sentences, the word classes, and the tenses.
Proverbs Translation for Intercultural Interaction: A Comparative Study between Arabic and English Using Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Hamdi Sami Abdullah , Hashem Rawdah Abu , Holbah Wael Ali , Ali Azi Yaseen , Mohammed Saifaddin Y.
Published: July 2023

Proverbs are a source of wisdom and morals that have been passed on from one generation to the next throughout history. Through intercultural interaction, it appears that some proverbs were either translated or have equivalents in different languages and cultures. This study used artificial intelligence, specifically machine learning techniques, to examine five equivalent proverbs in Arabic and English. Emphasis was placed on the occurrence of equivalent proverbs in different contexts through a collection of actual language use. A topic modeling algorithm was applied to a dataset for each proverb to explore the latent topics/themes that construct its meaning. The results revealed subtle differences between equivalent proverbs in Arabic and English, mainly due to religious, cultural, and social factors. Translators are thus encouraged to be aware of nuances in meanings, develop intercultural pragmatic knowledge to communicate the intended meaning and avoid misunderstandings.
The Gift of Writers in Animating the Past to the Present as Tales of Remembrance: A Comparative Study of Salman Rushdie’s Victory City and Amitav Ghosh’s Jungle Nama
Authors: D Yogalakshmi , S Vijayalakshmi
Published: July 2023

The research focuses on how fantasy is manifested as part of storytelling. Salman Rushdie’s Victory City (2023) and Amitav Ghosh’s Jungle Nama (2021) adopt ancient myths and histories that serve as remembrance tales. Both Rushdie and Ghosh evince a common interest in exploring social issues in their writings through an allegorical form. Rushdie’s Victory City is about the history of the Vijayanagar Empire, one of the most distinguished empires of medieval India (14th century to 16th century). Rushdie submitted his final edits of Victory City before the attack in New York City (Chautauqua) for his controversial novel The Satanic Verses. In the month of August 2022, he was stabbed in public by a youngster. He tweets that there is no freedom for authors to express themselves through writing. So, the research focuses on how fantasy serves as a tool for authors to express their views. His Victory City made him overcome all the negative criticism that he had encountered during the attack. Ghosh’s Jungle Nama also adopts the history of Sundarbans’ Forest goddess, Bon Bibi. Ghosh through his narration blends the myth and history of Bon Bibi who have been worshipped for centuries by the people of Sundarbans. Blending the real and imaginary in both fictions greatly challenges the differentiation between authenticity and fantasy. The supernatural phenomena in these narratives transport the reader from reality as a kind of escapism. During this, the characters in the fiction recall the past events and visions of the future in their present, and these aspects are also explored in the analysis. Victory City and Jungle Nama encounter the experience of mysticism in their narration which embarks on a voyage of difficulties and hindrances in the unreal world. Both these speculative fiction explore the concepts of fantasy and mystery so the theory of Magical Realism is applied to the strange creatures, other worlds, evils, demons, and demi-gods that exist in the fanciful setting which is also discussed.
Causativização em Asuriní do Xingu
Authors: Pereira Antonia Alves
Published: July 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir a causativização no Asuriní do Xingu, língua Tupí Guaraní, falada pelo povo Asuriní que vive no município de Altamira, estado do Pará. Partindo de pressupostos teóricos da linguística tipológico-funcional, nele são discutidos a formação dos predicados causativos, os tipos de causativização encontrados na língua e os efeitos que provocam na sentença. A causativização morfológica é o tipo predominante nessa língua, sendo os morfemas (mu-), (eru-) e (-ukat) responsáveis por ela. A análise mostra que o morfema (eru-) desempenha função causativa na língua, assim como em Kamaiurá e Emerillon. Ao mesmo tempo, distingue-se de outras línguas da família, como o Guajá e o Tenetehára, para as quais esse morfema é descrito como um aplicativo. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que os dois primeiros morfemas se afixam a raízes verbais intransitivas, enquanto (-ukat) se afixa a raízes transitivas. Após a afixação do morfema causativo ao verbo, a sentença sofre alterações estruturais e funcionais.

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the hepatoprotective effects of Gastrodia elata rhi¬zome (GR) on thioacetamide (TAA)-induced liver injury in dogs. We evaluated serum biochemical and hematological parameters, with emphasis on alanine transaminase (ALT), alanine phosphates (ALP), and nitric oxide (NO) levels, in dogs with TAA-induced liver injury.
Materials and Methods: The animals were divided into a control group (Con), TAA group, Silymarin group (Sil, 50 mg/kg), Gastrodia rhizome low dose (GRL) (low) + TAA, GRH (high) + TAA, and GR high-dose group (GRH) control group. GRL and GRH were given daily at 50 and 100 mg/kg, respectively. TAA was given on days 1, 4, and 7 at a dose of 300 mg/kg.
Results: GR significantly reduced liver injury in treated animals, as indicated by lowered levels of ALT (about 32% at day 21 in both GRL + TAA and GRH + TAA groups), ALP (about 17% and 21% at day 21 in both GRL + TAA, GRH + TAA groups, respectively), and NO (about 36% at day 21 in both GRL + TAA, GRH + TAA groups) compared to the TAA control group. Hematological parameters showed mild changes during the experiment. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis revealed gastrodin, a major component of the GR extract, constitutes 2.6% of the extract.
Conclusion: The GR demonstrated significant hepatoprotective effects against TAA-induced liver injury in dogs. The study provides evidence for the potential therapeutic use of GR in the man¬agement of liver diseases.

Published: July 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the impacts of the wide range of concentrations of glu¬cose and trehalose on the tris-citric acid-egg yolk-fructose (TCEF) extenders for cryopreservation of goat semen.
Materials and Methods: The sperm sample was pooled, washed, and diluted in control (TCEF without glucose and trehalose), TCEF + glucose (75, 150, 450, and 900 mm), and TCEF + trehalose (75, 150, 450, and 900 mm). After equilibrations, the semen straws were frozen under LN2 in the LN2 tank. After LN2 storage, the straws were thawed at 37°C for 30 seconds. The sperm parame¬ters of all study groups were checked after equilibration and freezing.
Results: After equilibration, the progressive motility (PM), total motility (TM), and viability of sperm in G-75, G-150, G-450, T-75, T-150, and T-450 were not significantly different (p < 0.05) from those in control. After cryopreservation and thawing, the PM, TM, and plasma membrane integrity (PMI) of T-150 were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than in control, G-75, G-900, T-75, and T-900. The viability of sperm in T-150 was substantially higher (p < 0.05) than in the control, whereas there was no significant difference among the control, G-75, G-900, T-75, and T-900. However, the acrosome integrity (AI) of sperm in G-900 was significantly decreased (p < 0.05) compared to the control, G-75, G-150, G-450, T-75, T-150, and T-450.
Conclusion: According to the findings, the supplementation of 150 mm trehalose in the TCEF dilu¬ent was more efficient for sperm cryopreservation in the buck as reflected by PM, TM, viability, PMI, and AI.

Published: July 2023

Objective: This study was conducted to establish a rat model of acute exacerbation of idiopathic pul¬monary fibrosis (AE-IPF) using the combination of bleomycin (BLM) and lipopolysaccharides (LPS).
Materials and Method: Twenty-four male Sprague Dawley rats were allocated into two equal groups: the sham or the bleomycin and lipopolysaccharides-induced AE-IPF group (BLM-LPS). On Day 7, BLM intratracheally and LPS intraperitoneally were both used to administer AE-IPF. The BLM-LPS group and its respective sham group were terminated on Days 8, 14, or 21. Samples of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lungs were taken and investigated for cell count and histopathology.
Results: On Day 8, histological analysis revealed inflammatory cell infiltration with edema and hyaline membrane, and the BALF differential cell count revealed high neutrophil counts. By having a higher collagen density area and Ashcroft modified score than the sham group on Day 14, the BLM-LPS group displayed significantly lower oxygen saturation, alveolar air area, and a fibrotic appearance. However, there was a spontaneous resolution in inflammation and fibrotic appearance on Day 21 after the BLM administration.
Conclusions: By combining BLM and LPS, it was possible to create a successful rat model of AE-IPF. The present model showed the peak exacerbation on Day 8 and the fibrotic peak on Day 14, which gradually improved. The optimal time for the new AE-IPF therapeutic intervention was determined to be between Days 8 and 14.
Development of a lateral flow device for rapid simultaneous multiple detections of some common bacterial causes of bovine mastitis
Authors: Sayed Rafik , Soliman Rafik , Elsaady Shaimaa
Published: July 2023

Objective: This work was conducted for the development of a 5-combi lateral flow immunochro¬matographic kit (LFK) for rapid and simultaneous identification of the common bacterial causes of bovine mastitis. The following pathogens are the identification targets of this kit: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus agalactiae, and Streptococcus pyogenes in milk samples from suspected bovine mastitis cases. The conventional microbiological identification of these agents is not only time-consuming and requires a fully equipped laboratory but also requires experienced personnel.
Materials and Methods: Rabbit polyclonal antibodies (PAbs) specific to the antigenic components of the selected pathogens were prepared, and the pathogen-specific IgG was separated, purified, and conjugated with nanogold that was laid on the conjugate pad. Guinea pig PAbs specific to the microbial antigens of the selected pathogens were prepared, and their IgG content was separated, purified, and used as a capture antibody in the test (T) line on the nitrocellulose (NC) strips. Goat anti-rabbit IgG antibodies were used to capture the rabbit antibodies in the control (C) line of NC strips. The kit was held in a device comprising five strip-holding channels for the above-mentioned five bacterial species antigens. The developed LFK was evaluated, and its sensitivity and specificity were determined.
Results: The developed kits were applied for the examination of bovine milk samples from suspected mastitis cases, and the average sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 5-combi LFK for the detection of the five selected bacterial species compared to bacteriological examination (gold standard test) were 93.90%, 80.83%, and 90.53%, respectively. The minimal microbial count that gave positive results using the developed LFK was 103 colony forming unit/ml. Treatment of the milk samples with an application buffer and its pre-incubation in trypticase soy broth for 6 h at 37°C before testing significantly increased the sensitivity of the prepared LFK. The developed kit proved simple and convenient, and the results could be obtained in less than 10 min.

ICT in higher education for sustainable development in India: Perspective from NEP 2020
Authors: . Gulnasin , Khatun Dr. Reshma
Published: July 2023

This study is examined from a theoretical perspective of the importance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education, where the focus is largely on the system of analyzing Learning Outcome, for the means of improving teaching and learning environment in higher education. The study suggested that with advanced technology, has yet not being very successful in meeting the demands of Infrastructure facilities placed by the faculty members, the academicians are increasingly involved in administrative tasks, rather than the teaching and learning, and research activity.

Research On the Evaluation of Green Gdp System Based on Comprehensive Evaluation Method
Authors: Diao Yicheng , Chen Yaxin , Cai Yuxi
Published: July 2023

In order to adjust traditional GDP to achieve a comprehensive measure of the sustainability of national economies and to optimize national policy-making, this paper constructs an assessment system of 11 indicators to measure GGDP in 3 dimensions: economic development, resource use and environmental pollution, and selects 24 countries as samples. Based on Coupled EWM-PCA, we construct Green Adjustment Coefficient (GAC) to adjust GDP to GGDP. Impact measurement based on Spearman Correlation. Results show that GGDP has the greatest correlation(-0.9) to suppress global CO2 emissions, followed by global temperature (-0.7) and global ocean temperature (-0.6).
The Impact of Couple's Joint Holdings on Corporate Financial Distress
Authors: Jia Kailin , Wang Ruiqi , Wu Tian
Published: July 2023

Family firms are an important part of the national economy, and it is of interest whether a couple's Joint Holdings can leverage their strengths and reduce the risk of their firms falling into financial distress. This paper empirically examines the impact of joint shareholding by husband and wife on corporate financial distress, using a sample of A-share listed family firms from 2010-2021. We find that the effect of joint shareholding on financial distress is more pronounced in the sample with poorer quality audits and older firms, while the effect of joint shareholding on financial distress is significantly reduced in larger firms or those with higher gearing ratios. This paper has important implications for the role of joint shareholding in the capital markets as a means of escaping financial distress.
The impact of technology and finance on urban-rural income inequality
Authors: Deng Liqin , Lin Zhile , Zhang Zhiqing
Published: July 2023

Based on the panel data of 30 provinces, cities directly under the jurisdiction of the central government (except for Tibet) and regional autonomous areas from 2011 to 2020, this paper uses the entropy method to measure the index of science and technology finance, and applies the double-fixed model to explore the impact of science and technology finance on urban-rural income inequality. The empirical results show that: (1) Technology finance has a U-shaped influence on rural-urban income inequality. (2) The greater the gap between urban and rural financial development levels will increase urban-rural income inequality; the greater the gap between higher education levels and health care institutions will decrease urban-rural income inequality significantly. (3) There is a heterogeneity in the impact of science and technology financial development on rural-urban income inequality; science and technology finance in the eastern and western areas will have a U-shaped impact on rural-urban income inequality, while science and technology finance in the central area will have an inverted U-shaped impact on rural-urban income inequality. Based on this, this paper offers some suggestions for the development of science and technology finance in China to further reduce rural-urban income inequality.

Published: July 2023

According to the statistics of China Disabled Persons Federation, there are about 85 million disabled people in China, 60% of them have the will to travel, but only 11.7% of them have realized the travel. The imperfect domestic barrier-free tourism facilities and the lack of barrier-free tourism products and services are the biggest obstacles for people with disabilities to travel. In recent years, the state has continuously issued policies to accelerate the construction of barrier-free facilities and guarantee the travel rights of disabled people, coupled with the accelerated aging, barrier-free tourism will have a huge market. This paper analyzes the existing problems of the barrier-free market and explores the effective ways of accessible tourism for disabled people by taking the overall situation of disabled people's participation in tourism in Chongqing as the sample material, through field research, interview and questionnaire distribution. Based on the specific practice in China and the advanced practice in foreign countries, this paper puts forward proposals for the development of barrier-free tourism in accordance with the actual situation in China, and promotes the development and improvement of the tourism market for the disabled.

A study of the GeGDP problem base on the LightGBM regression
Authors: Peilin Yang
Published: July 2023

This study uses AHP hierarchy analysis to select three indicators as the measurement standard of green GDP: GDP, resource consumption and reduction cost and environmental degradation cost, and analyzes the weight of green GDP indicators and the importance of the three indicators. With GeGDP as the main indicator of a country's economic health, a Lasso regression model is established to analyze the predicted global climate mitigation impacts. Then, this paper establishes LightGBPGBM regression model to predict the future GeGDP and GDP of the United States, and uses r square and other indicators to test the accuracy of the model, and makes a human correlation analysis of GeGDP and GDP before and after the prediction, to analyze the degree of correlation between the two. Finally, taking the United States as an example, we substituted relevant data into the LightGBM regression model developed above, predicted its value, and conducted one-way analysis of variance on it to determine the degree of change before and after.
