Authors: Sonar Tushar , Balasubramanian Visvalingam , Venkateswaran Thiruvenkatam , Sivakumar Dhenuvakonda , Konovalov Sergey
Published: December 2021

The gas tungsten constricted arc welding (GTCAW) process was used to join thin Su-718 alloy sheets to minimize alloying segregation and Laves phase precipitation in the fusion zone (FZ). The potentiodynamic corrosion behavior of GTCAW Su-718 alloy joints was studied and correlated to the microstructural features of welds. The potentiodynamic corrosion test was done in a 3.56 wt.-% NaCl solution to determine the corrosion rate of Su-718 alloy joints. The optical microscopy (OM) technique was used to analyze the microstructure of corroded weldments. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique was used to study the Laves phase development in FZ. The SEM X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) technique was used to for elemental mapping of FZ. The corrosion resistance of Su-718 joints is inversely proportional to the precipitation of Laves phase in FZ. The GTCA welded Su-718 alloy joints disclosed superior corrosion resistance for the joints with lower Laves phase precipitation. It is correlated to the refining of FZ microstructure, which aids in minimizing the Laves phase precipitation. The joints with higher Laves phase precipitation revealed inferior corrosion resistance. It is attributed to coarsening of FZ microstructure, which raises the alloying segregation and leads to depletion of alloying elements in FZ. The dendritic core regions showed severe corrosion compared to the interdendritic regions. The corrosion resistance of GTCA welded Su-718 joints is better than that of CC-GTAW and PC-GTGAW joints and comparable to that of EBW and LBW joints. It refers to the arc constriction and high frequency current pulsation.

Violence, Wars, and the Possibility of Ethical Life in an Apocalypse: A Kantian Reading of The Walking Dead
Authors: Salman Selda
Published: December 2021

The Walking Dead is a popular TV series depicting a catastrophic and violent world. After a pandemic that turns humans into zombies, we witness the collapse of civilization with all its institutions, the depletion of the resources, and the struggle to build a new world in the middle of the wars between surviving groups. It illustrates a world of literal and metaphorical homo homini lupus. Some people choose sheer survival, and others try to build a moral, civil world. In this article, I propose a reading of this series from a Kantian perspective by employing his interrelated ideas on history, ethics, and politics. I claim that The Walking Dead represents the state of nature and the violence it contains, and illustrates the course of history toward a civil society as defined by Kant.
Diversity, Identity, Oppression: The Construction of “Blackness” in Dear White People
Authors: Schelenz Laura , Vondermaßen Marcel
Published: December 2021

In the series Dear White People (DWP), students at the fictional University of Winchester struggle for racial justice. We analyze how the series treats “race” and racism and how this relates to contemporary debates in the United States. While the series presents an imaginary environment, we recognize strong similarities to actual student life and students grappling with various experiences of oppression including sexual violence. We draw on theories of identity formation (Margalit and Raz; Vondermaßen; Young) and intersectionality (Crenshaw; Collins) to uncover how the series portrays and complicates “Blackness” as an identity-forming experience and as an experience shaped by converging forms of structural discrimination. While we highlight the merit of combining two theoretical approaches (one of identity formation and one of oppression), we note that especially intersectionality helped uncover a major blind spot of the series. Although Black women are at the center of the series and the struggle for racial equality at Winchester, their particular experiences of violence are marginalized in seasons 1–3. This tendency to overlook the experiences of Black women reflects the larger debate around race, racism, and movements for social justice.
Quantitative Characterization of a Belt-cast High-Manganese Steel Microstructure
Authors: Preißler S. , Witte M. , Evertz T.
Published: December 2021

The description of the solidification process in casting processes with varying product thickness is characterized based on solidification structures, segregations as well as the primary and secondary microstructure. In near-net-shape casting processes, it is particularly challenging to achieve microstructure homogeneity in the as-cast condition, since the degree of forming in production processes up to hot or cold strip is lower than in the production of slabs or thin slabs.

The density of shrinkage porosity in belt-cast high-manganese steel (HMnS) will be determined quantitatively using polished microsections. Following the visualization of the primary cast structure, light microscopic images will be obtained using different tint etches. For the evaluation of secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS), internally developed software based on ImageJ and Matlab will be used.
Review on Self-Healing Thermal Barrier Coatings for Space Applications
Authors: Manikandan S. G. K. , Kamaraj M. , Jebasihamony C.
Published: December 2021

The demand for reusable space transportation systems is increasing, which leads to the need for higher-performance, reliable rocket engines at the lowest possible cost. The steep thermal gradient in the combustion chamber of rocket engines is catered by certain cooling mechanisms. In the case of reusable rocket engines, a progressive deformation and thinning of the cooling passage wall during engine operation is encountered because of the plastic ratcheting after numerous thermal cycles. This phenomenon may lead to the catastrophic failure of the engine when in operation and it also limits the number of operation cycles, adding cost. Thermal barrier coating (TBC) was successfully employed initially, and the functionally graded coatings were subsequently employed. However, the spallation of TBCs exists upon repeated thermal cycles. It is felt as necessary to induct the self-healing concept in such applications to enhance the number of thermal cycles. Various researchers have investigated crack-healing behavior of ceramic materials in recent years. This article provides a comprehensive analysis on the findings in the self-healing TBC and discusses future perspectives in this research area. This article mainly focusses on self-healing systems based on molybdenum disilicide (MoSi2)/MoSi2(B) with yttria partially stabilized zirconia and MCrAlY. In addition, the isothermal kinetics of MoSi2/MoSi2B and the formation of zircon are also discussed. The methodology of encapsulating the self-healing particles in order to avoid premature oxidation of MoSi2 self-healing particles is also discussed.
Bilateral adrenal masses due to tuberculosis: how to diagnose without extra-adrenal tuberculosis
Authors: Tran Nam Quang , Phan Chien Cong , Doan Thao Thi Phuong , Tran Thang Viet
Published: December 2021

Primary adrenal insufficiency is a rare disease and can masquerade as other conditions; therefore, it is sometimes incorrectly diagnosed. Herein, we reported the case of a 39-year-old Vietnamese male with primary adrenal insufficiency due to bilateral adrenal tuberculosis. The patient presented to the emergency room with acute adrenal crisis and a 3-day history of nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, and diarrhoea with a background of 6 months of fatigue, weight loss, and anorexia. Abdominal CT revealed bilateral adrenal masses. Biochemically, unequivocal low morning plasma cortisol (<83 nmol/L) and high plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone levels were consistent with primary adrenal insufficiency. There was no evidence of malignancy or lymphoma. As the patient was from a tuberculosis-endemic area, extra-adrenal tuberculosis was excluded during the work up. A retroperitoneal laparoscopic left adrenalectomy was performed, and tuberculous adrenalitis was confirmed by the histopathological results. The patient was started on antituberculous therapy, in addition to glucocorticoid replacement. In conclusion, even without evidence of extra-adrenal tuberculosis, a diagnosis of bilateral adrenal tuberculosis is required. A histopathological examination has a significant role along with clinical judgement and hormonal workup in establishing a definitive diagnosis of adrenal tuberculosis without evidence of active extra-adrenal involvement.

Learning points

Primary adrenal insufficiency can be misdiagnosed as other mimicking diseases, such as gastrointestinal illness, leading to diagnostic pitfalls.

Adrenal insufficiency can be confirmed with significantly low morning plasma cortisol levels of <83 nmol/L without a dynamic short cosyntropin stimulation test.

Tuberculous adrenalitis is an uncommon treatable condition; however, it remains an important cause of primary adrenal insufficiency, especially in developing countries. In the absence of extra-adrenal involvement, adrenal biopsy plays a key role in the diagnostic process. Alternatively, adrenalectomy for histopathological purposes should be considered if CT scan-guided fine needle aspiration is infeasible in cases of small adrenal masses.
Peers of independence: delinquent behavior of minors (1990s — early 2000s)
Authors: Kalashnikova Liudmyla , Lobanova Alla
Published: December 2021

The article attempts to analyze the social phenomenon of juvenile crime as a structural component of adult crime from the point of view in terms of identifying its causes and consequences, as well as the possibility of finding ways to prevent it, not only among the current adolescent generation and youth, but also among future generations. It is noted that the teenage cohort of the generation of peers of independence, which was formed in 2001–2009 — these are Ukrainians born in the 1990s, whose socialization took place during the period of anomie of Ukrainian society, and, consequently, their consciousness was formed under the influence of values and pseudo-values that were contradictory in their content. It is concluded that the social nature of juvenile criminality is due to historical variability, as well as a system of causes and factors that determine its appearance. Taking into account the statistical distributions of the total number and types of crimes committed by minors or with their participation, it has been proved that they, to a certain extent, reflect the laws of the development of society, since they are determined by the state and changes in material, social and spiritual conditions of life. It was also determined that juvenile crime is characterized by a high degree of latency due to the peculiarities of the legal and physical status of minors, the "regulation" of statistical indicators in investigative and judicial practice, and the real scale of the spread of juvenile criminality is several times higher than its registered component.

Gender Differences in Athletic and Academic Cultures on a University Campus
Authors: Sellers Kenneth , Yancey George B. , Kowalski Kelsey C.
Published: December 2021

Abstract: In order to explore the differences between a student’s academic life and a scholar-athlete’s sports life, we investigated the organizational cultures of a university’s academic departments and sports teams by surveying 259 students and 230 student-athletes. We found the academic cultures to be more clannish (family oriented) and the sports cultures more market (performance and results) driven. For the female athletes, we found a negative relationship between clan culture and satisfaction with their sports team, while for everyone else (male and female students and male athletes) clan culture was positively related to satisfaction with academic department or sports team. Relatedly, for the female athletes, the relationship between market culture and satisfaction with their sports team was positive, while for everyone else (male and female students and male athletes) market culture was negatively related to satisfaction with academic department or sports team. This suggests that there are important differences between the experiences of male and female student-athletes. We also found the participants in the business school to be less clannish than those in the other schools and colleges. We discuss the practical implications of these results for coaches of male and female athletes and for campus leaders of academic departments.

Secondary Immunodeficiency Related to Kidney Disease (SIDKD)—Definition, Unmet Need, and Mechanisms
Authors: Steiger Stefanie , Rossaint Jan , Zarbock Alexander , Anders Hans-Joachim
Published: December 2021

Kidney disease is a known risk factor for poor outcomes of COVID-19 and many other serious infections. Conversely, infection is the second most common cause of death in patients with kidney disease. However, little is known about the underlying secondary immunodeficiency related to kidney disease (SIDKD). In contrast to cardiovascular disease related to kidney disease, which has triggered countless epidemiologic, clinical, and experimental research activities or interventional trials, investments in tracing, understanding, and therapeutically targeting SIDKD have been sparse. As a call for more awareness of SIDKD as an imminent unmet medical need that requires rigorous research activities at all levels, we review the epidemiology of SIDKD and the numerous aspects of the abnormal immunophenotype of patients with kidney disease. We propose a definition of SIDKD and discuss the pathogenic mechanisms of SIDKD known thus far, including more recent insights into the unexpected immunoregulatory roles of elevated levels of FGF23 and hyperuricemia and shifts in the secretome of the intestinal microbiota in kidney disease. As an ultimate goal, we should aim to develop therapeutics that can reduce mortality due to infections in patients with kidney disease by normalizing host defense to pathogens and immune responses to vaccines.
Legal-water assessment as a new legal and administrative instrument of surface water protection
Authors: Zębek Elżbieta
Published: December 2021

The primary objective of the water protection in the Water Framework Directive No. 2000/60/ EC is to maintain and improve the water environment by achieving good water status. These provisions have been implemented into Polish legislation in the Water Law Act of 2017. These goals are achieved by the use of appropriate legal instruments as a system of water-law approvals, including a permit, notification and legal-water assessment. The subject of the analysis is water-legal assessments as a new legal and administrative instrument of water protection. The aim is to deter-mine the legal nature of water-law assessments and to indicate their role in the protection of surface waters. Obtaining this assessment is required for investments that may affect the possibility of achieving environmental goals. If the planned investment has a positive or no impact on the possibility of achieving the environmental goals, it seems that the legal-water assessment is made. In the case of a negative impact, the obligation to submit documents confirming that all measures are taken to mitigate the negative effects of the impact on the state of water bodies are imposed. In this way, the legislator strengthened the protection of waters by imposing the obligation to meet additional conditions for large-scale investments that have a negative impact on the water environment.
The Philosophical Lineage of Mr. Cogito (part 2)
Authors: Kozdęba-Murray Halina
Published: December 2021

The article constitutes the second part of a larger paper concerning the philosophical heritage of Mr. Cogito, the lyrical subject of Zbigniew Herbert’s poems. The self-consciousness of the title character is formed, quite like in P. Ricoeur’s hermeneutics of existence, in relation to the sphere of history and culture, as well as to the other. Mr. Cogito, when confronted with the war and annihilation, cannot simply use the Cartesian deductive method of reasoning in order to intelligibly prove the existence of God and an immortal soul. Therefore, he refers in his philosophical thinking not merely to rationalism, but also to symbol, which more profoundly than ratio describes the nature of his existence. When challenged by boundary situations, he unsuccessfully attempts to find consolation in the Upanishads, Stoicism, or the wisdom of Chasidism. His attitude towards the modern philosophy of nature as well as to the relative motion theory is that of a sceptic; he juxtaposes them with Aristotle’s Logic. The propensity of contemporary Western civilization to follow magic or gnosis is perceived by him as a sign of self-delusion, or even self-destruction.

Published: December 2021

The article presents a clinical observation of a patient with type 1 Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome (MEN 1). During the diagnostic search, a combination of primary hyperparathyroidism, parathyroid adenoma and hormonally inactive pancreatic head tumor was found. Simultaneous transoral parathyroidectomy and laparoscopic resection of the pancreatic head was performed. We haven`t found the literature data describing such kind of operations for MEN 1 syndrome. An original solution was applied to perform intraoperative ultrasonography monitoring. The results of 1-year postoperative follow-up are presented. This observation demonstrates the possibilities of endoscopic technologies in the treatment of MEN 1 syndrome.

Neoliberal Impression Management
Authors: Morelock Jeremiah , Narita Felipe Ziotti
Published: December 2021

This chapter discusses the nexus between digital networks and neoliberal transformations since the 1980s. We describe how on social media, people orient around a variety of metrics in order to build and display their ‘human capital’, projecting their preferred electronic doubles of themselves in order to gain desired recognition from others, and in many cases to network and showcase a ‘professional’ identity directly in the interests of career advancement. We discuss this in light of a theory of ‘neoliberal impression management’, which we introduce in reference to the ideas of Erich Fromm, Erving Goffman, and Michel Foucault. In our theory of neoliberal impression management, a person forges a spectacular self through which their actions and interactions are displayed in ‘public’ view. In doing this, they also amass publicly viewable metrics (likes, shares, followers, etc.) that suggest an ‘objective’ value. This cultural development moves toward self-centeredness, narcissism, and attention-seeking, and away from genuine concern for others and connection with them. This feeds the potential for numbness to – if not outright acceptance of – political cruelty and injustice.

İçerik analizi sonucunda “modelin artıları” ve “karşılaşılan güçlükler” şeklinde iki tema oluşmuştur. Modelin artılarında modelin öğrenciler tarafından sevildiği, derste motivasyonu artırdığı ve zamanın nasıl geçtiğinin anlaşılmadığı ifade edilmiştir. Ayrıca model ile zaman ve mekândan bağımsız öğrenmelerin gerçekleştiği ve dersten geri kalınmadığı ifade edilmiştir. Karşılaşılan güçlükler temasında ise modelin teknolojiyi ihtiyaç hâline getirdiği, internet ve bilgisayara sahip olmanın zorunluluk olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca videoların süresi ve kalitesinin iyi ayarlanması gerektiği, aksi takdirde motivasyon düşüklüğüne neden olup sürecin aksamasına yol açtığı ifade edilmiştir.
Pandemic Language Teaching: Insights from Brazilian and International Teachers on the Pivot to Emergency Remote Instruction
Authors: Sevilla-Pavón Ana , Finardi Kyria Rebeca
Published: December 2021

This article reflects on the experiences of language teachers from Brazil, Spain, France, Cyprus, Costa Rica and Taiwan during the pivot to emergency remote/online instruction during the 2020 pandemic. The research question motivating the study was what language teachers’ perceptions regarding online teaching during the pandemic were. Data were analyzed qualitatively, contrasting data from a questionnaire shared in an asynchronous online form with data from focus group interviews carried out via videoconferencing. The analysis of the questionnaire data showed that the vast majority of respondents used different digital technologies to teach online, both synchronously and asynchronously, but felt unprepared to work in this modality, mostly because of lack of institutional support and training. The analysis of the focus group interviews suggested that most teachers expressed concerns as to the limitations of online teaching for interaction and exams. In addition, some teachers displayed negative attitudes towards online teaching due to the lack of preparation and institutional support. This was aggravated by political implications of migrating to online education that could result in precariousness of the teacher profession. The positive aspects highlighted were the possibility of developing more self-directed and autonomous learning, as well as experimenting with different technologies and approaches. Overall, the analysis of the data suggests that, after the pandemic and with due preparation and support, some of the digital technologies and approaches experimented with will be incorporated into pedagogical practices in blended approaches, which represent a real trend and possibility for language teaching in the post-pandemic context.

The present study was conducted in Sudan Sugar industry factories (Kenana, White Nile, Assalaya, Sennar, Guneid, and New Halfa) during the production season of 2017. The study aimed to evaluate the existing Assessment of the extent of implementing the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point System (HACCP) by Sudanese sugar factories with reference to FSMS of the ISO 22000: 2005. The data were collected using ISO 22000 checklist and direct interviews. Likert Five-Point Scale was used in scoring the checklist statement and the arithmetic mean was obtained. The result showed that the Good Manufacturing Practices were varied between major deficiencies in White Nile, Assalaya, Sennar, and New Halfa due to score less than (3.6 points) and non-compliance in Kenana and Guneid due to score less than (2.6 points); the Sanitation Standard Operation Procedures (SSOP) assessed as major deficiencies in (Assalaya and Sennar) and minor deficiencies in (White Nile and New Halfa) due to score less than (5points). Moreover, the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points System revealed that it was varied between non-compliance in (Kenana, White Nile, and Guneid) and not applicable in (Assalaya, Sennar and New Halfa) due to score less than (1.8 points). Interestingly, the Sudanese sugar industries take all quality control characteristics from cane production to sugar production carefully, but unfortunately don’t care about any food safety systems. Lack of top management commitment and involvement and lack of government support represent the main constraints and Barriers of implementing food safety systems in Sudanese sugar companies. The study recommendations that the Sudanese Sugar Industry needs to establish proper quality assurance laboratories to help in monitoring the quality and safety of raw materials and end productions.

Authors: Sidelnicova V. M. , Sosnina V. V.
Published: December 2021

The common loss of gestation is a poly etiological complication during pregnancy time, where together with causes and factors of embryo/fetus peril there are destructions of the conjugal reproductive system. Main disturbances due to aborts in early terms are cariotype breakages: chromosome translocations and inversions were revealed in 8, 8% of inspected conjugal pairs, cariotype peculiarities in 72, 7%, conjugal compatibility according to HL А тогеЗ antigens was detected in 59, 3%. Disturbances of trophoblast invasion processes and placenta formation are evident because of hormonal distortions (NLF, hyperandrogeny), autoimmune distortions and chronicle endometritis with high level of anti-inflammatory cytokines. The development of placenta insufficiency in patients with these disturbances leads to pregnancy interruption.

Review of the monograph by V. E. Radzinsky and P. Ya. Smalko "biochemistry of placental insufficiency." Moscow: Peoples' FriendshipUniversity of Russia Publishing House
Authors: Berlev I. V.
Published: December 2021

The publication is dedicated to a new and one of the important branches of medicine - perinatology - a science that emerged at the intersection of obstetrics and pediatrics. Numerous studies in recent years have convincingly proven the leading role of the placenta in the functioning of the biological system "mother-placenta-fetus". At the same time, most expert assessments convincingly prove that the pathology of the placenta, including its insufficiency, in the structure of the causes of perinatal and child mortality exceeds 20%. It is also known that dysfunction of the placenta causes numerous changes in the child's body, which are the cause of violations of his physical and mental development.
Inclusive Digital Finance, External Financing, and High-Tech Enterprise Innovation Performance
Authors: Huiyuan Han , Xiaomin Gu
Published: December 2021

This study investigates the relationship between digital financial inclusion, external financing, and the innovation performance of high-tech enterprises in China. The present analysis utilizes the panel data from 2011 to 2018 of 114 companies in the Yangtze River Delta region and
the "The Peking University Digital Financial Inclusion Index of China” (PKU-DFIIC) released by the Peking University Digital Finance Research Center and Ant Financial Group. The results show that the Digital Financial Inclusion Index (DFIIC) has a significant positive correlation
with the innovation performance of high-tech enterprises.The higher the level of debt financing, the stronger the role of digital financial inclusion in promoting innovation performance. Investigating the DFIIC in terms ofcoverage breadth and usage depth, we find that usage depth does not
significantly encourage innovation performance. The effect of the interaction between coverage breadth and external financing is consistent with the results for the DFIIC.The study suggest that equity financing promotes the usage depth of the DFIIC in state-owned enterprises. In contrast,
debt financing promotes the coverage breadth of non-state-owned enterprises. Finally, we propose relevant policy recommendations based on the research results. It includes in-depth popularization of inclusive finance in the daily operations of enterprises at the technical level, refinement
of external financing policy incentives for enterprises based on the characteristics of ownership, and strengthening of the research of technologies such as big data, Al, and cloud computing.
A Cross-cultural Analysis of Two China-US Game Cases and Tobacco Control Compliance
Authors: Lingyu Yuan , Tian Dexin
Published: December 2021

Objectives: This paper aims at exploring the China-US relations by analyzing the communication strategies and game intentions in two case studies and the cultural roots herein. Guided by the water and game theory for intercultural communication (WGICC) and cultural analyses,
this study has found that in Case 1, China and the US have established initial win-win ties because of a mutually-beneficial trade system, the US intention to gain international recognition, and the romantic expectations of each other. In Case 2, both countries have suffered great losses due
to the US pursuit of reinforced national identity and revitalized conservatism which set the stage for an endless line of plots to contain China. In return, China has been practicing a tit-for-tat strategy backed up with its grand ambition to forge a community with a shared future for mankind
and ready to fight against containment and suppression from both the US and its allies. This study suggests an interactive pattern of win-win cooperation based on common needs and similar interests, and loss-loss confrontation based on real and imaginary fear while manifesting that the greatest
Dao is expressed in the simplest terms. The findings can shed lighton appreciating China’s efforts in such domestic campaigns as tobacco control compliance and Covid-19 prevention and its diplomatic relations with other nations.

purpose: To observe the effect of ultrasound-guided intrafascial heat on ankle dorsiflexion of chronic gastrocnemius muscle injury contracture. Methods: 90 patients with chronic gastrocnemius muscle injury contracture were selected and these
patients were randomized to three random groups (n=30): Static stretching therapy (group C), ultrasound-guided intrafascial hot needle release therapy (group R1), static stretching combined with ultrasound-guided intrafascial hot needle release therapy (group R2). Ankle dorsiflexion Angle
(ADA) was measured before treatment, one week one month and three Months after treatment. Quantitative ultrasonography was used to evaluate the fascicle length (FL), pinnate Angle (PA) and muscle thickness (MT) of the medial gastrocnemic muscle, and the adverse reactions were recorded.
Results: After treatment, ADA and FL increased, while PA and MT decreased in the 3 groups. In R2 group, ADA and FL increased and PA and MT decreased at one week, one month and three Months after treatment, which were better than those in R1 group and C group (P < 0.05);
ADA, FL, PA and MT in group R1 at one week after treatment had no statistical significance compared with group C (P > 0.05), but the ADA, FL and PA and MT were higher than patients in group C (P < 0.05), and no serious complications occurred during the treatment. Conclusion:
Ultrasound-guided intrafascial thermal needle release combined with static stretching can significantly improve the ankle dorsiflexion angle and restore muscle function in patients with chronic gastrocnemius muscle injury contracture, with definite efficacy and few adverse reactions,
which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Published: December 2021

The positive development of ecological efficiency is of great significance for the high quality synchronization development of economy and ecological environment. In order to study the temporal and spatial distribution dynamics and regional differences of the ecological efficiency
of tobacco planting zone in China, the Super-SBM model was used to calculate the ecological efficiency of provincial tobacco planting zone in China from 2005 to 2019 from economic perspective, and the kernel density function, Gini coefficient, σ convergence and Markvo transition matrix
were used to analyze the dynamics of spatial distribution and regional differences in this paper. The research results show that: (1) China's overall ecological efficiency exhibits a U-shaped curve, i.e., decreased first and then increased. (2) The overall difference in eco-efficiency of tobacco
planting zone is large, which is mainly originated from the inter-regional differences and hypervariable density. (3)The eco-efficiency development of tobacco planting zone in China does not have the characteristics of convergence, resulting in differences in spatial distribution. (4) The
national and regional eco-efficiency of tobacco planting zone has the greatest transfer probability from year t to year t+1 in the same level of eco-efficiency.

Published: December 2021

Tobacco industry is an important part of the national economy and a mainly sources of national fiscal revenue. The healthy and stable growth of the tobacco industry is of great significance to the country's economic development. In particular, the overall quality and work stability
of human resources are the key factors for the development of the tobacco industry. Chinese post-1990s are gradually entering the workplace and becoming the backbone of society. However, their high-frequency turnover had different degrees of impact on the stability of the organization and
their own career. So, the purpose of this study was to investigate thoroughlythe mechanisms of POS on turnover intention(TI) of post-1990s ofChina tobacco industry based on the mediation of OI, and the regulative effect of employability perception(EP). After collecting the results of questionnaires
covering perceived organizational support, turnover intention, organizational identity and employability perception from 352 post-1990s employees of China tobacco industry, our hypotheses were tested using the Hierarchical Regression Analysis (HRA). Results displayed that there was a significant
negative correlation between POS and TI of post-1990s employees. Turnover intention of post-1990s employees was significant negative impacted by Organizational identity and employability perception. Internal employability perception(IEP) had a greater impact on TI than that of external employability
perception(EEP). Organizational identity played a partly positive mediating effect between POS and TI of post-1990s employees. Employability perception played a negative moderating role between POS and TI of post-1990s employees. Furthermore, the moderating effect of internal employability
was greater than that of external employability, and the post-1990s employees with higher employability were more sensitive to the effect onPOS on TI. Finally, this study provided suggestions for China tobacco industrythat strengthening the post-1990s employees' recognition of the organization,
improving their overall self-awareness, and improving the level of organizational management were helpful to the career of post-1990s and organizational development.
The Spatial Correlation Effect of Hunan Green Finance Efficiency and the Green and Low-consumption Development of Tobacco Industry Based on Social Network Analysis
Authors: Huaiyu Yuan , Jianghao Liu , Ziwei Liu
Published: December 2021

The efficiency of green finance for promoting the upgrading of regional industrial structure shows a correlation effect. In this paper, 14 cities and prefectures in Hunan, China, are taken as regional cases, and relevant data from 2010 to 2017 are analyzed. The three-stage DEA model,
modified gravity model, and social network analysis are employed to measure the efficiency of Hunan green finance in promoting the energy saving and emission reduction of tobacco industry, industrial upgrading and its spatial network relationship. The results show that Changsha, Hengyang,
Zhangjiajie, Loudi, and other cities and prefectures have high efficiency, while other cities and prefectures have relatively low efficiency. Clear spatial agglomerations exist between cities and states, depicting a complex spatial network structure. Their spatial network connections have
increased, and agglomerations are closely linked, forming four major sections: “two-way overflow”, “net overflow”, “net income”, and “broker”. Cities and states with these four major sectors have played different roles in the spatial network,
demonstrating their respective roles and orientations. This suggests that when inter-regional governments formulate green finance policies for promoting the upgrading of the industrial structure, they are supposed to not only concentrate on coordinated advancement, but they should also adjust
measures to local conditions. Tobacco industry should also actively implement the concept of green development, pay close attention to equipment energy-saving technological transformation, and improve energy management through lean management.
