Research on the Impact of The Construction of Ecological Civilization Demonstration Zones on Public Green Behavior
Authors: Ren Zengfang
Published: February 2024

From emphasizing environmental protection to the theory of ecological civilization construction, and then to the pilot project of ecological civilization demonstration zones, it marks the gradual transition of China's ecological civilization construction from theoretical construction to practical exploration, and opens up a new realm of "green mountains and clear waters are as valuable as gold and silver". This article explores the impact of the construction of ecological civilization demonstration zones on public green behavior based on 318 micro survey data. The results indicate that: (1) The benchmark regression results show that the establishment of ecological civilization demonstration zones improves environmental quality and helps promote the implementation of green behavior by the public. Social norms in the process of building ecological civilization will constrain the public's practice of green behavior. (2) The mediating effect indicates that the environmental quality and social norms after the establishment of the ecological civilization demonstration zone will enhance the public's sense of identity, thereby promoting the implementation of its green behavior.
The Low Fertility and Response of Family Policy in Germany
Authors: Jin Jing , Wang Yanmin , Jiang Li
Published: February 2024

West Germany has long suffered from a low fertility rate. Sociologists attribute this to the conservative welfare regime. In response, family policy in reunified Germany has been drastically restructured, and family policy has increasingly moved closer to the Nordic model. On the one hand, cash benefits have become more generous and have shifted from mean-tested to universal. On the other hand, there has been a rapid expansion of childcare services, especially for children under the age of three. Both empirical research and real data on Germany support the positive effects of family policy on fertility.

Analysis of Criminal Property Handling in Criminal Cases Based on Comparative Criminal Law between China and Thailand
Authors: Dan Yuke
Published: February 2024

Based on the stable improvement of the current level of economic and social development, the situation of economic and financial categories is gradually becoming more serious. This basic factor indirectly promotes the proportion of criminal civil cross disciplinary cases in the total number of criminal cases in China to continue to rise. Thailand and China are separated by a narrow strip of water. The governance of anti-corruption and related criminal property disposal issues is not only a reference for China, but also an important factor in optimizing the business environment of Southeast Asian countries and enhancing economic and cultural exchanges between China and Southeast Asian countries, especially under the regional platform of China ASEAN. This article first provides an overview of criminal property involved in cases, and through an analysis of the cross disciplinary issues between criminal and civil law in the handling of criminal property involved, proposes five specific measures for the handling of criminal property involved in cases based on the comparative criminal law between China and Thailand. A comprehensive understanding and comparative study of Thailand's anti-corruption legislation and related criminal property disposal is of great significance for improving China's anti-corruption legislative system and related criminal property disposal, deepening China Thailand cooperation, and enhancing the level of China ASEAN cooperation.
Study on the Effectiveness of Commitment Speech Act from the Perspective of Force Dynamics Theory
Authors: Liang Yi
Published: February 2024

Commitment speech acts play an important role in various fields, but compared to other speech acts, they have not yet received sufficient attention. In political discourse, the implementation frequency of commitment speech acts is quite high, while their usage characteristics, pragmatic strategies, and the influence of social domain factors still need to be explored. The correct implementation of commitment speech acts is helpful to achieve the purpose of communication and promote the success of communication. Therefore, based on Talmy’s force-dynamic theory, this paper collects relevant language materials of commitment speech acts contained in British Prime Minister’s “Brexit” political speech discourse, attempts to consider pragmatic factors on the basis of the force-dynamics model to construct force dynamics models about commitment speech acts for analysis. By analyzing the working mechanism between internal and external parameters in force dynamic schema under different promise strategies, this paper explores the action mode of “illocutionary force” in speech acts of commitment and the implementation path of commissives under the influence of social domain factors and other factors. This paper interprets commitment speech act from the cognitive perspective, expecting to broaden the research paradigm of commitment speech acts and provide ideas for future multi-dimensional study on speech act theory.
Discussing The White-Haired Girl Opera and Ballet from the Perspective of Female Characters
Authors: Wang Yangyanru
Published: February 2024

The scope of this dissertation is to study the female protagonist, Hei'er, in the White Hairy Maiden Opera and Ballet and to exemplify the historical context of the White Hairy Maiden Opera and Ballet and the characteristics of the status of women in this era. The purpose of the research is to draw the characteristics of the era of the female characters in Bai Mao Nü in relation to the female lead's plot and the women's characteristics of the era in the context of Chinese history. The writing process of the thesis is firstly to find the tableaux and scores of the White Hairy Woman's operas and dance dramas in Chinese websites for reading and to collect the literature related to the White Hairy Woman's operas and dance dramas, and to collect the literature on the historical background of China and the status of women in the period of the 1940s to the 1970s. Secondly, I set out a framework for the thesis, matched and categorised the collected literature with the framework, and wrote the thesis; finally, I revised the final version and submitted the course thesis. My research found that the female drama of the White Hairy Daughter opera and ballet fully embodies the unequal gender treatment and social status of women in 1940s China. This work of White Hair Woman also portrays a more vivid image of Chinese women in the 1940s. However, the limitation of this thesis is that this thesis discusses the character lines and the related historical background from the score of White Hairy Woman, but it is difficult to find the literature that elaborates on the music of White Hairy Woman, and almost all of them focus on the content of White Hairy Woman's textual plot. The reason why the authors have some difficulty in discussing the musical score examples and the women's period characteristics is because there is very little literature that can help the authors to provide good ideas for their analyses. The final conclusion is that the female zeitgeist after the 1940s has given the female role of the White-haired Woman a deeper historical significance, and has provided scholars studying the White-haired Woman's operas and ballets with a new interpretation of female perspectives. It is also enough to show that White Hairy Woman is not only a successful musical theatre in 20th century China, but also a female theatre work that can promote Chinese women to gradually weaken sexism.

Research on the Development and Utilization Strategies of Cultural Elements in Rural Tourism
Authors: Zhao Jingyi
Published: February 2024

In the context of an ever-accelerating modernization, people's living standards have significantly improved, leading to a diversified and high-quality demand for leisure and entertainment. Rural tourism, closely integrated with nature, has gradually become an ideal choice for urban residents to relax and seek tranquility and beauty. The popularity of rural tourism is not only due to its unique natural scenery and peaceful environment but also because of the rich cultural elements it encompasses. These elements, embodying the history, traditions, customs, and lifestyle of the countryside, offer tourists a chance to deeply understand and experience rural life. Developing and effectively utilizing these cultural elements can not only enrich the content and connotation of rural tourism, enhancing its attractiveness but also bring economic benefits to rural areas and promote local economic development. Moreover, the inheritance and development of cultural elements are crucial for the revitalization of rural culture. Through proper development and utilization, rural cultural heritage is preserved and continued, and the traditional culture and lifestyle of rural areas are passed on and innovated.

Evaluating AI-Generated Emails: A Comparative Efficiency Analysis
Authors: Jovic Marina , Mnasri Salaheddine
Published: February 2024

This study investigates the efficiency of large language models (LLMs) in producing routine, negative, and persuasive business emails for educational purposes within the context of Business Writing. Specifically, it compares the outputs generated by four widely-used LLMs (ChatGPT 3.5, Llama 2, Bing Chat, and Bard) when presented with identical email scenarios. These generated emails are evaluated using an elaborate rubric, allowing for a systematic assessment of LLMs' performance across three distinct email types. The results of the study show that the output with the same prompt varies greatly despite the rather formulaic nature of business emails. For instance, some LLMs struggle with following the requested structure and maintaining consistency in tone, while others have issues with unity and conciseness. The findings of this research hold implications for teaching business writing (rubrics, task instructions, in-class implementation), as well as for the integration of AI in professional communication at large.
High-Tech Innovations in English Language Teaching: Investigating the Role of Digital Solutions in Saudi EFL Context
Authors: Hameed Ansa
Published: February 2024

As modern technology continues to advance, language teaching has also embraced the integration of high-tech innovations and solutions. The performance of the students is positively impacted by these new digital learning methods. However, since technology keeps evolving, it is imperative to monitor the use of modern digital solutions in educational settings. In line, it has become increasingly important to delve into the effects of digital applications, platforms, and tools on language learning and teaching practices. The present study aims to probe the role of digital solutions in ELT pedagogy within the context of Saudi Arabia. For this purpose, this study aims to examine the perceptions of teachers and learners regarding the efficacy of digital solutions for the improvement of language competence and performance along with the challenges faced during the process. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both surveys and interviews as data collection instruments, involving a sample population comprised of 417 students and 10 teachers. The findings reveal that students are quite enthusiastic about the use of digital applications, resources, and technology in the EFL classrooms; however, they have also exposed the lack of usage of the latest trends in technology in the learning environments. Moreover, the teachers also show a positive attitude toward the integration of high-tech solutions in the pedagogy for a better and improved learning and teaching experience. However, they also express a certain degree of unease over their level of technology apprehension, cost-related issues, and the long-term viability of digital solutions in the educational landscape. The study suggests that digital solutions have the potential to bridge the gap in access to quality education, predominantly in far-off areas or for people with limited resources. Considering the role of digital solutions in ELT can certify that educational opportunities are more reachable and inclusive for all Saudi learners, irrespective of their geographic location or socio-economic background. Thus, relevant stakeholders have to take certain initiatives to fill the gaps.
Exploring the Patriarchal Oppression and Predicament of Women: A Radical Feministic Analysis of Mitra Phukan's The Collector's Wife and Arupa Patangia Kalita's Felanee
Authors: Dhileep T S , Baisel Anu
Published: February 2024

This Research paper aims to investigate the violence against women and the repercussions of political upheaval as reflected in Mitra Phukan’s The Collector's Wife and Arupa Patangia Kalita’s novel Felanee in the northeastern Indian literature. Women have long endured social injustices based on patriarchy and experience a range of socially imposed discrimination. Society regards women as mere by-products of sentimental domesticity, whereas males dominate and sphere head all the public domain as the rightful inheritors. Women are the worst affected by these geopolitical manoeuvres and are more physiologically affected. Not only do these acts of discrimination jeopardise public safety and tranquility, but they also have a profound impact on the lives of women. The literature of North-East India has several instances of this exploitation. This paper also highlights the radical feminist theory, Mitra Phukan and AP Kalita clearly explained the patriarchal system, which is based on gender roles and is characterized by prioritizing men's domination and interests over women's and reinforced by sexuality and motherhood while valuing female sexuality and fertility in Assam culture.
Is the American Sonnet Black?
Authors: Coles Katharine
Published: February 2024

“Is the American Sonnet Black” traces the history of Black poetry in the United States from the 18th Century forward, beginning with Phillis Wheatly and ending with Terrance Hayes. It makes the case that work by Black poets has been not only present but essential to the development of American poetry and our understanding of how all poets must work to position themselves simultaneously as outsiders and as insiders to their tradition. In the cases of those poets whose bodies (by virtue of gender and/or race) mark them visibly and culturally as “outsiders,” this positioning is more difficult and complex in a way that may lead to creative breakthroughs in how those poets use form to navigate the content specific to their experience.
The Blue Hills Archipelago: Longform poetics & the ecological anti-epic
Authors: Goetz Jake
Published: February 2024

This essay puts forth Laurie Duggan’s decades-long serial poem, Blue Hills (1980–), as a radical antimythic and ecological approach to longform ‘epic’ poetics – or what I term the ‘ecological anti-epic’. The essay first reflects on the mythic ambitions of twentieth century Anglo-American modernist epic poets, such as Ezra Pound and TS Eliot, before turning to what I call the North American ‘antiepic’ postmodernist serial poem tradition. Centring on Robert Duncan’s Passages – a key influence on Duggan’s own series – I argue this ‘anti-epic’ approach to the long poem replaced the ‘mythical method’ (Eliot 1923: 483) of early modernist epics with a compositional method. Reading Blue Hills through the guiding principle of Duncan’s series, ‘grand collage’ (2014: 298), the essay then posits that Blue Hills – as a localised re-deployment of Duncan’s grand collage method – can be read as both a continuation, and subversive settler Australian reimagination, of the North American anti-epic serial poem tradition. Drawing on Peter Minter’s archipelagic approach to reading Australian poetry, Blue Hills is then read as a type of archipelago of poetic islands, one which challenges not only the epiccum-mythic ambitions of modernist longform poetry, but also the racially charged environmental myth-conceptions of early settler Australian poetic movements, such as the Jindyworobaks. I conclude with a brief reflection on the links between the process-based aesthetics of post-modern anti-epics and what Connor Weightman calls the ‘ecological long poem’ (2020: 3), ultimately positing that Duggan’s Blue Hills refutes the modernist penchant for speaking declaratively about the world and instead affects a sense that the world is reveling in its own wording.
Poetry as Presence: Working with personae. A survivor's manifesto on poetic practice.
Authors: Gaskin Claire
Published: February 2024

This piece adopts the voice of public declaration to assert poetic practice as survivable resistance to abuses of power. It proposes that poetry is the best means to identify, expose and reconfigure what is implicit in dominant discourses that discredit the way a survivor of sexual assault may communicate. It is found that a poetic use of language that is allusive, evocative and associative can reinvigorate annihilated perspectives so as to add them to public discourse. Poetic methods can be employed to resist and subvert the supposed supremacy of linear and logical narrative structures considered essential for sense making and validity. Furthermore, they can be employed to excavate family and state histories to resurrect, sometimes from fragments, the perspectives of those that have been silenced.
Knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding antibiotic use among general public of Karnataka, India: A web-based cross-sectional survey
Authors: Kaup Soumya , S Roopashree
Published: February 2024

Background: The menace of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) disproportionately affects low and middle-income countries. The general public plays a major role in the emergence and spread of AMR.

Aim and Objectives: (1) The aim and objectives of the study are to assess the current knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding antibiotic usage in the general population of Karnataka; (2) to identify demographic characteristics associated with particular knowledge, attitude, and practices; and (3) to determine whether a person’s attitudes toward and knowledge of risks associated with taking antibiotics affected the practices relating to antibiotic use.

Materials and Methods: An online cross-sectional survey was conducted using a structured and validated questionnaire using the Google Forms platform. The questionnaire consisted of participant’s demographic data and questions to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices pertaining to antibiotic use. Chi-square test was used to assess the association between demographic variables and knowledge, attitude, and practice scores. Linear regression was used to examine the association between knowledge, attitude, and practice scores.

Results: 510 respondents were included in the study. The performance of the participants in all three domains in our study was average with only 48.43% securing a “good” score. 20.20% believed that antibiotics were used to treat viral infections, 48.43% were aware of the meaning of antibiotic resistance, 37.06% believed that antibiotics which worked earlier can be re-used, 30.20% believed that there is no need to complete the antibiotic course, and 32.94% thought that antibiotics could be shared with friends. 14.9% said that they had received antibiotic without prescription. Scores improved significantly with increase in the level of education (P < 0.001) and the occupational level of the participants (P < 0.001). Linear regression analysis demonstrated a positive effect of knowledge and attitude on practice regarding antibiotic use (P < 0.001).

Conclusions: The current study reiterates that the level of knowledge regarding antibiotics and AMR in the Indian public is only average. A combination of educational programs and stringent legislation should be implemented to limit the menace of AMR.
Risk Stratification of Ventricular Arrhythmias in Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Patients
Authors:   , van der Lingen Anne-Lotte
Published: February 2024

Aim of this thesis is to provide strategies for improvement patient selection for ICD implantation for primary prevention and secondary prevention of SCD. SCD is a multifactorial and dynamic process and the risk of SCD can vary over time due to the dynamic interplay between a substrate, modulator and trigger. Hence, risk stratification of SCD for improvement of ICD therapy remains challenging and we are aware that there is not just a single answer available to describe the patient that will benefit most of ICD implantation. Acknowledging the complexity of SCD is the first step in improved patient selection of ICD therapy. Nonetheless, several main conclusions can be drawn from this thesis. First, we investigated the current eligibility criteria of prophylactic ICD implantation primary prevention. We showed that CMR-specific LVEF cut-off values are needed to improve patient selection. When similar LVEF cut-off values are used for different imaging modalities, a CMR-guided LVEF assessment will result in more patients eligible for prophylactic ICD implantation. Importantly, increased numbers of ICD implantations due to CMR-LVEF assessment will not result in improved patients selection, because the additional patients are at low risk of appropriate device therapy. Second, we showed that the absence or presence of heart failure symptoms at time of ICD implantation is not an adequate parameter to determine which patient will develop VA during follow-up. Consequently, we propose that asymptomatic heart failure patients with a reduced LVEF should be considered for primary prevention ICD implantation. Third, we aimed to improve patient selection using advanced imaging techniques before ICD implantation. We showed that improved patient selection by advanced non-invasive imaging with PET-derived perfusion and sympathetic innervation and scar core quantification by LGE-CMR remains challenging for the individual patient with an ischemic cardiomyopathy and reduced LVEF. Fourth, we showed that the risk of VA between female and male ICD patients is different, however, we were not able to derive sex-specific risk models based on clinical parameters. Fifth, we demonstrated that signs of depression and anxiety were correlated with multiple cardiac parameters in ICD patients, which may influence the risk of VA during follow-up. Finally, we explored the risk of VA recurrence in cardiac arrest survivors with a reversible and correctable cause. We demonstrated that the recurrence risk of VA varies between different reversible causes of SCA and that this patient group should not be evaluated as one entity. Different groups of SCA survivors with a reversible cause might be at different risk of recurrent VA and selected patients may benefit from ICD implantation.

Effect of fractional exhaled carbon monoxide on patients with sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome and its mechanism.
Authors: Jia Quanlin , Guo Li , Zheng Xinhua , Li Guangwei , Liu Lu
Published: February 2024

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a common sleep disorder as-sociated with chronic airway inflammation and lung function impairment. This article aimed to investigate the fractional exhaled carbon monoxide (FeCO) expression level in obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and its correlation with disease indicators. Subjects with OSAHS, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and healthy subjects were selected to collect clinical data. FeCO concentration, eosinophil (Eos), erythrocyte sed-imentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), FEV1, and FEV1/FVC were measured. The Pearson correlation coefficient and receiver operating charac-teristic (ROC) curve were used for statistical analysis. The FeCO concentra-tion, Eos count, ESR and CRP levels, and lung function in the OSAHS group were higher than the healthy and COPD groups (p<0.05) and slightly lower than the asthma group. FeCO was positively correlated with Eos, ESR, and CRP (p<0.05), but there was no apparent correlation between FeCO and lung func-tion. FeCO has a high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of OSAHS. There is chronic airway inflammation and systemic inflammation in patients with OSAHS. Lung function impairment in patients with OSAHS is mild, but some limitations remain. FeCO may be an auxiliary diagnostic index particu-larly valuable in diagnosing OSAHS.

Published: February 2024

This narrative review analyzed the relationship between cervical cancer and the vaginal microbiome. It has been estimated that viruses and bac-teria cause 15% of all cancers. The development of molecular biology, genetics, and the use of high-throughput genomic sequencing techniques has allowed us not only to know the phenotypic component but also the genetic component of the vaginal microbiome and obtain a better knowledge and understanding of the behavior of the vaginal flora that was previously impossible to determine. The relation of the alterations in the vaginal flora by women’s habits, immunological status, and socioeconomic level has been established. Literature searches were performed electronically in PubMed, Medline, ISI, DOAJ, Springer, Embase, Web of Knowledge, and Google Scholar for original articles written in English and Sci-elo, Latindex, Imbiomed-L, Redalyc, and Google Scholar for original articles writ-ten in Spanish. The objective of this narrative review was to examine and analyze the literature on the alterations in the vaginal microbiome, their local protective effect and their possible contribution to the development of cervical cancer.

Authors: Quinonez-Munoz Angie , Sobhy Nader , Goyal Sagar
Published: February 2024

Objective: Comparative survival of 10 strains of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) at 3 temperatures. Materials and methods: Strains of PRRSV were propagated in MARC-145 cell line. Aliquots of virus were placed in the bottom of wells on 24-well plates at 100 μL per well. After the virus inoculum was dry, the plates were stored at one of 3 temperatures (4°C, room temperature [22°C-25°C], or 37°C). The surviving virus was eluted at different time points and then titrated. Results: All 10 strains survived for at least 35 days at 4°C but showed variability in percent survival. For example, the percent survival of strains 1-7-4, Lelystad, 1-8-4, VR-2332, 1-4-2, and 1-4-4 MN was greater (0.29%-2.19%) than that of the other 5 strains (0.01%-0.03%). At room temperature, 5 strains (VR-2332, Lelystad, 1-4-4 SD, 1-4-4 MN, and 1-8-4) survived between 3 and 7 days while the other 5 survived for 1 day only. Four of the ten strains (Lelystad, 1-4-4 MN, 1-4-4 SD, and 1-8-4) survived for up to 3 days at 37°C and the remaining 6 strains for 1 day only. The recently emerged variant 1-4-4 L1C was one of the more resistant strains surviving for 7 days at room temperature and 3 days at 37°C. Implications: There were differences in the survival of different PRRSV strains at different temperatures, which should be taken into consideration for designing effective biosecurity practices including disinfection regimens.

Seorang ibu dengan bayi pertamanya mungkin akan mengalami masalah ketika menyusui yang sebetulnya hanya karena tidak tahu cara-cara menyusui yang benar. Cara menyusui berpengaruh terhadap keberhasilan menyusui. Bidan serta petugas kesehatan yang lain harus melakukan pendampingan dan memberikan dukungan selama menyusui. Untuk mencapai keberhasilan menyusui, bidan harus memberikan bimbingan cara menyusui yang benar, sehingga ibu tidak mengalami masalah selama menyusui dan bayi pun mendapatkan ASI Eksklusif (Perinasia, 2004).

Jenis penelitian yang di gunakan adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain quasi experiment dengan pendekatan pre dan post test non equivalent control group. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah semua ibu post normal yang menyusui bayinya. Semua ibu nifas pada tahun  2017  di RSUD Kota Kendari Sulawesi Tenggara, sejumlah 965 orang ibu nifas. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah semua ibu nifas yang dirawat diruang nifas yang ada pada saat penelitian dilakukan..

Hasil Uji Statistic paired t test menunjukan terdapat perbedaan nilai rerata antara kelompok kontrol dengan intervensi setelah diberikan perlakuan berupa kemampuan ibu dalam pemberian ASI (p=0,000) sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada peningkatan yang bermakna antara skor kemampuan ibu dalam pemberian ASI sebelum dan sesudah perlakukan pada kelompok intervensi.

Saran kepada puskesmas agar melakukan pembuatan program secara terjadwal dalam mengikutsertakan bidan untuk mengikuti pelatihan manajemen laktasi dan konseling menyusui, sehingga bidan benar-benar mempunyai pengetahuan untuk melakukan demonstrasi dan pendampingan menyusui.

Authors: Moore Lori , MacKinnon David
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine how five preadolescent girls constructed and presented their social identities and the perceived influence of the media in this process. A series of individual and focus group interviews were held with five 9- and 10-year-old girls. Goffman's (1959) interactionist perspective of the theatrical performance provided the framework for the inquiry. The participants in the study offered testimonials that clearly indicate the power and influence of the media in manipulating young girls' perceptions of themselves and others.
Internalizing Change Capacity in Secondary Schools Through Organizational Change
Authors: Hannay Lynne M. , Ross John A.
Published: February 2024

In this article we focus on understanding the meaning of change capacity in secondary schools. Our definition of change capacity focuses on organizational dimensions. We review evidence from a longitudinal study of change in nine secondary schools in a single district to argue that change capacity consists of three attributes: liberation from structures that inhibit innovation (in our case breaking the mold of subject department organizational structures), honoring dissonance, and forging new relationships. We identify the conditions that contribute to the development of change capacity in secondary schools by examining the contributors to the emergence of each element.

Local Binary Patterns (LBP) histograms are used as texture descriptors by the proposed facial expression emotion detection system to identify various face expressions in photos. Localized facial patterns are represented by histograms formed by the extraction of LBP features based on pixel intensity comparisons after pre-processing operations such as picture normalization and scaling. Using a labeled emotion dataset, these histograms are used as feature vectors to train a machine learning model. The model's performance is evaluated using evaluation measures, such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. The system, which was developed with OpenCV and scikit-learn, shows a reliable and useful method for recognizing facial expressions that can be used in practical settings.
