Authors: Chen Qi , Li Xinyu , Sun Zilin
Published: October 2024

The policy of using collective land to build rental housing was first implemented in 2017 in the context of the Chinese government’s proposal of “housing for living, not speculation”. However, due to the constraints of laws and regulations, the attitudes of local governments and social capital, and the attitudes of collective economic organizations, the progress of pilot projects varies from city to city. This paper selects the Nanjing Zhetang project and analyzes the factors affecting the willingness of rural households in the collective economic organizations to which the pilot project belongs to the land transfer through the framework of Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD). Finally, it is concluded that the strength of the collective economic organization of the pilot project, the traditional concept of land acquisition of farmers, and the concern of farmers about the unfair distribution of expected benefits jointly affect the attitude of farmers towards land transfer in the market. Finally, relevant suggestions are given to provide reference for other pilot projects in China.

Authors: Zhao Guanxi
Published: October 2024

With the advancement of autonomous driving technology, trajectory planning has emerged as one of the core technologies to achieve safe and efficient vehicle driving. An algorithm for single-vehicle trajectory planning based on the Optimal Control Problem (OCP) is proposed in this paper, which can not only plan a safe and efficient path for autonomous vehicles, but also realize the obstacle avoidance function. Firstly, the OCP is modeled for the cycle trajectory planning problem. Secondly, this paper transforms it into a Nonlinear Programming (NLP) with all discrete methods, and uses the interior point method to solve it. Then, the Y-type intersection is selected as the verification scene, and through a series of simulation experiments, the efficiency and safety of the algorithm in different driving environments are verified. The model and algorithm proposed in this paper are not only applicable to Y-type intersections, but also can be extended to other complex traffic roads, providing a new idea and method for trajectory planning in intelligent transportation systems.

A study on differences in economic and social structure between education and food production
Authors: Tang Suyao
Published: October 2024

Education and food are vital commodities, yet their economic and social structures differ greatly. Food production requires private enterprise to maintain financial efficiency, while education relies on the government to maximize social efficiency. This paper examines the rationale behind disparities in the distribution of education and food production sectors through the lens of economic efficiency, accessibility and informed public decision-making. Education has positive externalities, promoting social cohesion by teaching shared values, stabilizing the functioning of society and achieving social and educational equity through the participation of an educated population in democratic processes. Private food production can maintain the ability to minimize costs and maximize product quality through market competition. In addition, private companies are better equipped to take on the significant risks associated with agribusiness. Competition and technological innovation in the food industry have made prices accessible, ensuring that essential nutrients are affordable to low-income and vulnerable groups. Public education can also have a positive impact on food production. Public education promotes the long-term development of the food industry by training relevant agricultural talents to carry out technological innovations related to food production. In addition, educated citizens are more likely to be concerned about food safety and its production process—the demand for food transparency and quality forces food producers to adhere to higher standards and innovate. Thus, rationalizing distribution and interaction between the education and food production sectors results in optimal social outcomes.

Published: October 2024

The increasing global energy demand and the urgent need to shift to sustainable practices have made the integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) into distribution power systems imperative. This project's main objective is to implement rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems as an essential part of low-voltage (LV) DC networks' building-integrated centralized generation Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) is used to maximize power extraction from photovoltaic (PV) panels and boost power generation efficiency, particularly in partially shaded circumstances. After that, the PV system's generated power is sent to a Luo converter, which effectively tracks and optimizes the power production. For wireless power transmission, the Luo converter's output is then fed into a high-frequency converter. This wireless power transmission improves the system's adaptability and scalability by facilitating smooth energy transfer without the requirement for physical connections. An isolation transformer is attached to the high-frequency converter's output in order to guarantee the system's dependability and safety. The high-frequency converter is isolated from the downstream components by the isolation transformer, which also offers protection against electrical risks. Finally, a battery made especially for use in electric vehicle (EV) applications receives the transformer's isolated output, which is also supplied to DC loads. Finally, we will use the MATLAB 2021a / Simulink program to do a number of numerical simulations in order to validate the suggested controls. The output voltage of 130v is stored in the battery if a voltage of 65 v is taken as output from the photovoltaic system.

Exploring Neuromuscular changes in the larynx: Insights from rat ultrasonic vocalizations
Authors: Johnson Aaron
Published: October 2024

The study of rat ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) provides a unique window into understanding the neuromuscular changes in the human larynx that occur with aging. Rats communicate with each other using USVs to convey positive and negative affective states in a variety of communication situations, such as juvenile play, mating, and alerting one another to threats (Brudzynski, 2013). USVs are produced using a glottal constriction to generate a jet of air which creates a whistle (Hakansson et al., 2022). The frequency of this whistle is modulated using the same muscles that humans use to modulate our vocalization frequency (the cricothyroid and thyroarytenoid) (Riede, 2011). The vocal fold cover is not engaged in vibration during USVs production. However, the neuromuscular similarities between rat USVs and human vocalizations make USVs a good model to investigate laryngeal neuromuscular mechanisms, such as the laryngeal muscle fibers and neuromuscular junctions (NMJs; the connections between peripheral nerves and muscle fibers).

The implications include instructor workload control, school improvement, and faculty policymaking. Additionally, this contributes to the present body of studies on instructional workloads and trainer performance, offering insights into the complex interplay between teaching, studies, and career duties. The effects advocate that universities must consider the potential impact of additional academic obligations on teachers' workloads and scholars gaining knowledge of results and increasing strategies to aid instructors in dealing with their duties correctly. By exploring the opportunities and demanding situations related to extra educational responsibilities, this observation aims to inform proof-primarily based rules and practices that promote excellence in coaching and gaining knowledge at the faculty stage.

This study assessed the impact of leadership styles and librarians' motivation on work performance in the Davao Region. This study adopted a non-experimental quantitative design with a descriptive-correlation technique. The study employed modified questionnaires tailored to align with its objectives, with 321 librarians participating by complete enumeration. Mean and Pearson's correlation coefficient are statistical instruments utilized for data analysis and interpretation. The researcher directly supervised and delivered the questionnaire to respondents using face-to-face interactions and Google Forms surveys to ensure precision and mitigate ambiguity. The results indicated that librarians exhibit significant leadership styles alongside notable motivation and work performance levels. Furthermore, a substantial correlation between leadership styles and work performance, as well as librarians' motivation and work performance, was determined in the study. This highlights the significance of leadership styles and motivation in enhancing the performance of librarians to guarantee the accomplishment of organizational goals and objectives.

This study aims to find out the role of the Tourism Office in Developing Ompo Nature Tourism in Soppeng Regency. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out using observation techniques, interviews, and documentation. The data obtained from the results of this study were processed using interactive model analysis, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the role of the Paratourism Office in Developing Ompo Nature Tourism in Soppeng Regency has not been maximized. This is based on the existence of 3 role indicators, namely Motivator, Facilitator, and Dynamizer. These three indicators cannot be said to have not gone well. The Tourism Office has not carried out its role well as a motivator because of the lack of employee activity in carrying out its duties and functions as well as the lack of encouragement or even pressure that can move employees for how tourism in Soppeng district can progress and develop with the characteristics and uniqueness of different natural tourism. The role of the Tourism Office, which has not carried out its role properly as a facilitator, is seen from the facilities provided is inadequate. The dynamator has not done its role well, judging from the lack of significant development carried out by the Tourism Office to attract tourists to visit the ompo natural tourism.
Von Neumann Entropy and Evolution
Authors: Bateson Richard Douglas
Published: October 2024

In this paper I outline a hypothesis where quantum information in the form of von Neumann entropy provides a universal driving force for increasing complexity of systems and for evolutionary processes. Interference between quantum states of interacting systems allows storage of free energy that can be used to overcome kinetic barriers and accelerate reactions. This informational work cycle is analogous to entanglement in quantum Carnot engines where energy is stored as phase or so-called phaseonium fuel. The von Neumann entropy subadditivity and Araki-Lieb inequality properties of combined states can lower effective entropy and favour routes to increasing complexity of systems. It is proposed that observed macroscopic evolutionary processes are the emergent manifestation of this microscopic informational drive to complexity.
Will They Continue to Endure: How Conflict and “Climate-Induced” Migration is Affecting the Lake Chad Region
Authors: Ogunmakin Oyewumi
Published: October 2024

The effects of climate change are undoubtedly global. Reports show that West Africa is in a precarious position, regarding some of the worst consequences of climate change, occasioning extreme events, such as violent conflict, insecurity, and loss of livelihoods in the Lake Chad region. The impact on human lives is full-blown as ‘climate-induced’ migration results in drought, desertification, and the intensifying water stress has on human migration in the region. Notably, the deterioration of individual and local living conditions has compelled inhabitants of the region in Nigeria to migrate to neighboring states as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) or ‘environmental refugees” in neighboring countries. However, existing studies focused on the impact and patterns of migration in West Africa thereby creating a “knowledge gap” on how ‘climate-induced’ migration is affecting the Lake Chad region. This paper employs secondary data collection, analyzing dynamic trends and patterns of climate change and challenges management. Findings revealed that while the activities of terrorists and insurgent groups have strongly impacted migration within the Lake Chad region, the continuous “dryness” and the ever-changing climate conditions, such as rising temperature, desertification, flooding, and drought have dramatically worsened and contributed to the mass decision to leave the region.

A profilaxia Pré-Exposição (PrEP) é um método de prevenção à infecção pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV), causador da Síndrome da Imunodeficiência adquirida (AIDS). Tendo como objetivo avaliar a segurança e a influência da profilaxia Pré-exposição (PrEP) ao HIV na incidência da população vulnerável. O presente estudo consiste em uma pesquisa de revisão integrativa, a qual foi conduzida de forma descritiva. Realizada mediante a pesquisa de dados eletrônicos, onde serão incluídos os artigos científicos publicados entre os anos de 2017 e 2024. Em 2017, o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) do Brasil introduziu a profilaxia pré-exposição (PrEP) para grupos de alto risco de infecção pelo HIV, incluindo profissionais do sexo, homens que fazem sexo com homens, mulheres trans e casais sorodiscordantes, além de populações socioeconomicamente vulneráveis. A PrEP foi incorporada à estratégia de prevenção combinada, que inclui aconselhamento sobre HIV e uso de preservativos, com o objetivo de reduzir novas infecções. Composta pelos medicamentos tenofovir e emtricitabina, a PrEP demonstrou uma eficácia de cerca de 90% na redução da transmissão do HIV, sendo recomendada para indivíduos em relações desprotegidas ou em situações de risco. Ao longo da pesquisa, percebeu-se que a PrEP apresenta alta eficácia na prevenção combinada contra o HIV nos indivíduos com maior vulnerabilidade e seu como política pública de saúde reduziu significativamente a incidência de HIV no Brasil.
