Evaluation of Local Government Digital Governance Ability and Sustainable Development: A Case Study of Hunan Province
Authors: Xu Xiaolin , Dai Mengqi
Published: July 2024

Strengthening the governance capacity of local governments in the digital domain is crucial to the modernization of the national governance system and the process of sustainable development. This paper integrates the concept of sustainable development drawing upon the principles of systems theory and adopts the logical analytical framework of “resource input–process transformation–result output” to construct a digital governance capacity indicator system for local governments. The focus is on three dimensions: basic resource input, network public opinion management, and digital service effectiveness. Using statistical data from the digital governance capacity indicators of 14 cities and prefectures in Hunan Province from 2018 to 2022 as a case study, we base our analysis on the index system constructed herein. Employing the entropy-weighted TOPSIS method and the obstacle degree model, we evaluate and analyze the digital governance capacity of the government in Hunan Province. Our findings indicate that the government’s digital governance capacity in Hunan Province has been on a rising trend overall. However, there are noticeable regional disparities in the strength of digital governance capacity across western, northern, central, and southern Hunan, particularly in terms of digital service effectiveness, which presents the most significant barriers to improvement. These results suggest that local governments should tailor their efforts to enhance digital governance capacity around resource allocation based on regional differences, the establishment of an online public opinion monitoring system, the optimization of government information disclosure mechanisms, the performance of government service platforms, and the strengthening of a two-way communication mechanism between the government and the public.

Published: July 2024

Against the backdrop of climate change and the “dual carbon” goals, enhancing the ecological efficiency of cryospheric tourism is crucial not only for the high-quality development of the tourism industry itself but also for the protection of the ecological environment and the promotion of green sustainable development in the cryospheric region. In light of this, this study, taking climate change as its background and based on the perspective of carbon emission constraints, integrates multidimensional factors such as “climate change, carbon emission constraints, and cryospheric resources” into a unified measurement framework to construct a model for evaluating the ecological efficiency of tourism in the cryosphere. Specifically, the model considers inputs, expected outputs, and unexpected outputs. Subsequently, employing the super-efficiency slack-based measure (SBM) model, this study measures the tourism ecological efficiency (TEE) of three provinces (Xinjiang, Qinghai, Tibet) in the cryosphere from 2013 to 2021 and utilizes the Malmquist–Luenberger index and gray correlation model to reveal their dynamic changes, efficiency decomposition, and influencing factors. The results indicate that: (1) The overall mean of TEE in the cryosphere is between 0.2428 and 1.2142, Over the study period, the average annual growth rate and corresponding confidence interval were 14.74%, (−8.61%, 64.23%), showing a significant fluctuating growth trend. Among them, Xinjiang stands out, with its mean scores ranging from 0.2418 to 1.6229, surpassing the overall average level of the cryosphere. (2) During the study period, the overall dynamic efficiency of tourism ecology in the cryosphere increased by 21.54%, driven by the synergy of technological progress (TC), pure technical efficiency (PET), and scale efficiency (SE). For each province, the dynamic efficiency of tourism ecology has improved, but to varying degrees. (3) Regarding the driving factors of TEE in the cryosphere, each driving factor is closely related to TEE, ranked from large to small as follows: carbon emission structure, level of economic development, infrastructure, intensity of technological input, industrial structure, resource endowment, and environmental regulation. This article holds theoretical and practical significance for promoting the high-quality development of polar tourism and achieving synergistic progress between the economy and environment.
How to Obtain a Sustainably Preferential Supplier Resource Allocation? A Model Based on the S-O-R Framework from a Supplier’s Perspective
Authors: Li Xiaoyun , Li Suicheng , Zhang Weisong , Qiao Jianqi
Published: July 2024

As pivotal members of upstream channels, suppliers wield significant influence on supply chains’ competitive advantage through their abundant resources. Buyers often engage in supplier development to access scarce resources, yet the motivations guiding suppliers’ responses remain unclear. This study elucidates suppliers’ cognitive processes and the factors influencing their decisions to allocate resources. Utilizing the S-O-R framework, we construct a moderated mediation model to verify motivational drivers and explore interactions among mediators. A survey involving 246 Chinese manufacturing suppliers was conducted, employing path analysis with bootstrap validation. It aimed to confirm how supplier-perceived relationship value, trust, and switching costs mediate between supplier development and resource allocation decisions. Our study delves into how supplier development impacts resource allocation, emphasizing psychological motivation within the S-O-R framework. We analyze three dimensions of supplier value perception: relationship value, trust, and switching costs. These factors influence physical and innovation resource allocation differently. While all prompt the prioritization of physical resources, only relationship value encourages innovative resource sharing, with switching costs hindering this. Supplier-perceived trust acts as both a mediator and moderator, enhancing positive effects on physical allocation and mitigating negative impacts on innovation resource sharing. This study advances the S-O-R framework’s applicability, providing novel insights into supplier resource allocation.

Authors: Song Mengfei , Wu Qiuyi , Zhu Honghui
Published: July 2024

The aging of the rural population is one of the important social problems facing China and the world. To provide strategic support for coping with the challenges brought by an aging society, this study examined the impact of aging of the rural population on agricultural green total factor productivity (AGTFP) and the mechanism of transmission between them, based on the panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2000 to 2022. The results showed that, first, the aging of the rural population had a negative inhibitory effect on AGTFP, a conclusion that remained valid after a series of robustness tests. Second, the heterogeneity analysis showed that the aging of the rural population in western China had a significant negative impact on AGTFP, while the effect was less significant in eastern and central regions. The intensity of environmental regulation will increase the negative impact of an aging rural population on AGTFP. Third, the analysis of the mechanism showed that the aging of the rural population had a negative impact on AGTFP by inhibiting labor productivity, scientific research and innovation, and farmland transfer.
Artificial Intelligence and the Transformation of Higher Education Institutions: A Systems Approach
Authors: Katsamakas Evangelos , Pavlov Oleg V. , Saklad Ryan
Published: July 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) advances and the rapid adoption of generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, present new opportunities and challenges for higher education. While substantial literature discusses AI in higher education, there is a lack of a systems approach that captures a holistic view of the structure and dynamics of the AI transformation of higher education institutions (HEIs). To fill this gap, this article develops a causal loop diagram (CLD) to map the causal feedback mechanisms of AI transformation in a typical HEI. We identify important variables and their relationships and map multiple reinforcing and balancing feedback loops accounting for the forces that drive the AI transformation and its impact on value creation in a typical HEI. The model shows how, motivated by AI technology advances, the HEI can invest in AI to improve student learning, research, and administration while dealing with academic integrity problems and adapting to job market changes by emphasizing AI-complementary student skills. We explore model insights, scenarios, and policy interventions and recommend that HEI leaders become systems thinkers to manage the complexity of the AI transformation and benefit from the AI feedback loops while avoiding policy traps that may lead to decline. We also discuss the notion of HEIs influencing the direction of AI and directions for future research on AI transformation and the sustainability of HEIs.
Net Zero Agrivoltaic Arrays for Agrotunnel Vertical Growing Systems: Energy Analysis and System Sizing
Authors: Asgari Nima , Jamil Uzair , Pearce Joshua M.
Published: July 2024

Local indoor farming plays a significant role in the sustainable food production sector. The operation and energy costs, however, have led to bankruptcy and difficulties in cost management of indoor farming operations. To control the volatility and reduce the electricity costs for indoor farming, the agrivoltaics agrotunnel introduced here uses: (1) high insulation for a building dedicated to vertical growing, (2) high-efficiency light emitting diode (LED) lighting, (3) heat pumps (HPs), and (4) solar photovoltaics (PVs) to provide known electric costs for 25 years. In order to size the PV array, this study develops a thermal model for agrotunnel load calculations and validates it using the Hourly Analysis Program and measured data so the effect of plant evapotranspiration can be included. HPs are sized and plug loads (i.e., water pump energy needed to provide for the hybrid aeroponics/hydroponics system, DC power running the LEDs hung on grow walls, and dehumidifier assisting in moisture condensation in summer) are measured/modeled. Ultimately, all models are combined to establish an annual load profile for an agrotunnel that is then used to model the necessary PV to power the system throughout the year. The results find that agrivoltaics to power an agrotunnel range from 40 to 50 kW and make up an area from 3.2 to 10.48 m2/m2 of an agrotunnel footprint. Net zero agrotunnels are technically viable although future work is needed to deeply explore the economics of localized vertical food growing systems.

BIM models are seldom used for the energy certification of buildings. This paper discusses the advantages of linking two important fields: building information modeling (BIM) and building environmental assessment methods (BEAM), presented as a rating system and a proposal for the Chilean context. The state of the art in both fields around the world is discussed, with an in-depth examination of current BIM software and related applications, followed by a discussion about previous research on integrating them. A lack of interoperability and data losses between BIM and BEM were found. A new tool is presented that addresses these challenges to ensure accurate rating system data, and this new framework is based on database exchange and takes crucial information from BIM to BEAM platforms. The development of the method includes BIM programming (API), database links, and spreadsheets for a Chilean building energy certification through a new tool, also applicable to multiclimactic zones. This new semi-automatic tool allows architects to model their design in a BIM platform and use this information as input for the energy certification process. The potential and risks of this method are discussed. Several improvements and enhancements of the energy certification process were found when incorporating this new framework in comparison to current methodologies.

Published: July 2024

The global effort to combat the COVID-19 pandemic faces ongoing uncertainty with the emergence of Variants of Concern featuring numerous mutations on the Spike (S) protein. In particular, the Omicron Variant is distinguished by 32 mutations, including 10 within its receptor-binding domain (RBD). These mutations significantly impact viral infectivity and the efficacy of vaccines and antibodies currently in use for therapeutic purposes. In our study, we employed structure-based computational saturation mutagenesis approaches to predict the effects of Omicron missense mutations on RBD stability and binding affinity, comparing them to the original Wuhan-Hu-1 strain. Our results predict that mutations such as G431W and P507W induce the most substantial destabilizations in the Wuhan-Hu-1-S/Omicron-S RBD. Notably, we postulate that mutations in the Omicron-S exhibit a higher percentage of enhancing binding affinity compared to Wuhan-S. We found that the mutations at residue positions G447, Y449, F456, F486, and S496 led to significant changes in binding affinity. In summary, our findings may shed light on the widespread prevalence of Omicron mutations in human populations. The Omicron mutations that potentially enhance their affinity for human receptors may facilitate increased viral binding and internalization in infected cells, thereby enhancing infectivity. This informs the development of new neutralizing antibodies capable of targeting Omicron’s immune-evading mutations, potentially aiding in the ongoing battle against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: July 2024

Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is not only the biomarker of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and expression activity in hepatocytes, but it also contributes to viral specific T cell exhaustion and HBV persistent infection. Therefore, anti-HBV therapies targeting HBsAg to achieve HBsAg loss are key approaches for an HBV functional cure. In this study, we found that YZH-106, a rupestonic acid derivative, inhibited HBsAg secretion and viral replication. Further investigation demonstrated that YZH-106 promoted the lysosomal degradation of viral L- and M-HBs proteins. A mechanistic study using Biacore and docking analysis revealed that YZH-106 bound directly to the PreS2 domain of L- and M-HBsAg, thereby blocking their entry into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and promoting their degradation in cytoplasm. Our work thereby provides the basis for the design of a novel compound therapy to target HBsAg against HBV infection.
Comprehensive Hydrological Analysis of the Buha River Watershed with High-Resolution SHUD Modeling
Authors: Chang Yan , Li Xiaodong , Shu Lele , Ji Haijuan
Published: July 2024

This study utilizes the Simulator of Hydrologic Unstructured Domains (SHUD) model and the China Meteorological Forces Dataset (CMFD) to investigate the hydrological dynamics of the Buha River watershed, a critical tributary of Qinghai Lake, from 1979 to 2018. By integrating high-resolution terrestrial and meteorological data, the SHUD model simulates streamflow variations and other hydrological characteristics, providing valuable insights into the region’s water balance and runoff processes. Key findings reveal a consistent upward trend in precipitation and temperature over the past four decades, despite minor deviations in daily precipitation intensity and relative humidity data. The SHUD model demonstrates high accuracy on a monthly scale, with Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) values of 0.72 for the calibration phase and 0.61 for the validation phase. The corresponding Kling–Gupta Efficiency (KGE) values are 0.73 and 0.49, respectively, underscoring the model’s applicability for hydrological forecasting and water resource management. Notably, the annual runoff ratios for the Buha River fluctuate annually between 0.11 and 0.21, with significant changes around 2007 correlating with a shift in Qinghai Lake’s water levels. The analysis of water balance indicates a net leakage over long-term periods, with spatial alterations in leakage and replenishment along the river. Furthermore, snow accumulation, which increases with altitude, significantly contributes to streamflow during the melting season. Despite the Buha River basin’s importance, research on its hydrology remains limited due to data scarcity and minimal human activity. This study enhances the understanding of the Buha River’s hydrological processes and highlights the necessity for improved dataset accuracy and model parameter optimization in future research.

Authors: Pauta Guillermina , Vázquez Gabriela , Carrillo Verónica , Torres Carlos
Published: July 2024

Cryptosporidium and Giardia are infectious parasitic forms widely distributed in aquatic ecosystems and resistant to disinfection of drinking water. Their presence was investigated in the lower areas of the city’s four rivers through a four-stage methodology. Between December 2017 and April 2018, three monitoring campaigns were conducted, with results ranging between not detected to 500 oocysts/L for Cryptosporidium, and between not detected and 300 for Giardia. Cryptosporidium was more abundant, especially in the Machángara River. In the same period, the bacteriological quality of the rivers was also reviewed using Total Streptococci and Fecal Enterococci expressed in colony-forming units (CFU)/100 mL as indicators. The results showed a progressive increase in pollution as the course of the rivers progressed. The sensitivity of bacterial indicators to changes in quality is also observed, which is why their use in specific studies is recommended. It is concluded that untreated domestic wastewater discharges may be the main source of contamination by bacteria and parasites and that there is a relationship between their concentration and the seasonal period. In dry weather, the concentration is higher for both microorganisms. This study fills a gap in knowledge in the region, due to the absence of data on parasitic indicators with great impacts on public health.

Published: July 2024

The advanced treatment of proprietary Chinese medicine secondary effluent (PCMSE) was strongly needed with the recent implementation of a more stringent discharge standard. Based on the features of PCMSE and the reuse of Al3+ from wastewater from soaking of Pinellia Ternata with alumen (WSPTA), three new combined processes were designed for the advanced treatment of PCMSE on a larger pilot scale. A pilot scale study showed that compared with two other combined processes, the new coupling of a biological-aerated filter with Al3+ addition (BAFA)-O3/H2O2 with microbubble (OHOMB) (CBAFAOHOMB) obtained the maximum pollutant removal (with removals of 91.71%, 94.64%, and 82.32% being observed for color, total phosphorus (TP), and chemical oxygen demand (COD), respectively) and acquired the lowest Al3+ residual in the effluent. During CBAFAOHOMB treatment of PCMSE, the vast majority of TP elimination, 35.20% of COD removal, and 49.40% of color removal were achieved by BAFA; OHOMB obtained 64.80% of COD removal and 60.60% of color removal, and biofilm activity in BAFA slightly changed under a 10 mg/L Al3+ dose. Furthermore, microbubble aeration was more efficient in removing organics than conventional bubble aeration during O3/H2O2 oxidation, and suspended solid (SS) relatively significantly lowered oxidation ability in the OHOMB system. These results indicated that CBAFAOHOMB markedly integrated advantages of BAFA and OHOMB, and was a proposed process for the advanced treatment of PCMSE. Meanwhile, it was feasible that WSPTA was reused for PCMSE treatment as an Al3+ source.

Published: July 2024

When multiple elements come together, hydraulic concrete develops cracks of varying widths, which huts the dependability of buildings. Therefore, with pertinent tools or procedures, swiftly ascertaining the safety status of hydraulic concrete cracks under diverse service conditions is required by conducting a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the elements influencing the onset of cracks. This paper took the safety status of hydraulic concrete cracks as the main body of research; every step of hydraulic conservation infrastructure from the ground up—design stage, construction process, operation environment, and impoundment operation—was thoroughly examined. After establishing a multi-dimensional and multi-level system for the safety status evaluation of hydraulic concrete cracks, the subjective exponential AHP and objective CRITIC method were employed to determine the weight of each factor. Then, the two weights were processed using an enhanced combination assignment method to produce a more scientifically developed combination weight. Furthermore, fuzziness and randomness were considered in the quantitative analysis thanks to integrating cloud theory and extension matter elements. In order to determine the safety evaluation findings for hydraulic concrete fractures, the maximum membership principle and the cloud picture were employed. The conclusion reached after using this method to evaluate Dianzhan Dam was that the crack had a safety grade of III, meaning that it greatly impacted the reliability of the dam, and called for prompt acceptance or repair measures to improve building efficiency and safety.

Published: July 2024

The Plain City Southwest (SW) and Ogden Bay 7.5′ quadrangles are in Weber, Box Elder, and Davis Counties. The quadrangles include parts of the communities of Hooper, Warren, and Reese, the Harold Crane Waterfowl Management Area, several waterfowl wetlands, as well as the southwestern corner of Willard Bay Reservoir. The North Fork and South Fork of the Weber River f low south into the Ogden Bay Wildlife Management Area at the edge of Great Salt Lake. The northwestern part of the Ogden Bay quadrangle and the southwestern part of the Plain City SW quadrangle contain most of Little Mountain, a small bedrock mountain with about 500 feet of relief. The western side of Little Mountain as well as the northern part of the Plain City SW quadrangle are part of Willard Bay of Great Salt Lake. Small meandering channels flow into the bays from local drainages. Numerous evaporation ponds related to industrial minerals production cover the central western and northwestern part of the Plain City SW quadrangle, obscuring geologic deposits. This mapping project will provide the basis for identifying and delimiting potential geologic hazards in future Utah Geological Survey (UGS) geologic hazard maps, part of the UGS Geologic Hazards Mapping Initiative (Castleton and McKean, 2012). Mapping for the project was done on stereographic pairs of aerial photographs from the following sources: black-and-white aerial photographs from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (1958, 1965, 1971a, 1971b). Mosaics of some USDA photographs were accessed using the Weber County web services (USDA Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, 1937, 1962, 1980, 1985). Additional aerial photography sets from the National Agricultural Imaging Program (NAIP) were used (Utah Geospatial Resource Center [UGRC], mid-1990s, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2016a, 2018a, 2021a) as well as high-resolution (15cm) Hexagon imagery (Utah Geospatial Resource Center, 2021b). Most Quaternary unit contacts, including human disturbed areas, were mapped using two lidar elevation datasets (Utah Geospatial Resource Center [UGRC], 2016b, 2018b). The geologic map was made by transferring the geology from the aerial photographs to a geographic information system (GIS) database using the programs ESRI ArcPro and Global Mapper v. 18 for a target scale of 1:24,000. Cross section A-A′ was created in Adobe Illustrator. Field-based investigations included shallow subsurface investigations in targeted areas with a soil auger. Materials from 1 to 3 meters were observed, documented, and sampled, which aided in preparing descriptions of most Quaternary units.

Published: July 2024

According to the Ministry of Social Affairs No. 178/HUK/2016, there are 245,716 persons with care home-based social welfare problems spread across Indonesia and 5,824 care homes throughout the country. The regional governments, assisted by the central government, build public facilities that can accommodate the needs of citizens with disabilities who are often neglected. One of concrete results of development is when there is equitable development where all elements of the population can feel the impact of the development, including the disability community. Palembang as an organizer of international events still has problems with transportation and facilities for road users. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of safety of facilities and infrastructure on public transportation users in Palembang (a case study of persons with disabilities in Palembang). The methods used are quantitative and qualitative and the sampling method used is purposive sampling and 148 saturated samples. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that all variables of facilities and infrastructure are proven to be significant, but several variables such as road facilities, pedestrian bridges (JPO) have weak relationships, and persons with disabilities are considerably helped by Trans Musi conductors. Transmission conductors are considered very attentive to the needs of passengers from waiting for arrival to stop. The results of this study are expected to contribute to improving facilities and infrastructure, especially for persons with disabilities.

Published: July 2024

The risk aspect is a key component of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) infrastructure scheme. The study employed bibliometric analysis to shed light on research trends concerning risk aspects in PPP. The author focused on publication trends, co-authorship networks, local citation patterns, cluster analysis, and co-occurrence of key terms. In addition, the authors compiled a list of studies on the risk aspects of PPP infrastructure. Using bibliometric data from 356 Scopus-indexed publications, this study identifies the leading authors, nations, institutions, publishers, influential papers, and research topics related PPP infrastructure risk over the past decade (2014-2023). The findings reveal that from 2014 to 2017, research predominantly focused on risk factors, success criteria, development projects, contracts, toll roads, water supply, and social infrastructure. Between 2018 and 2020, the emphasis shifted towards risk assessment, risk analysis, risk management, and risk allocation. Since 2021, the research trends have evolved to include urban growth, investment, the private sector, partnership models, internet protocols, and intelligent systems. Future research on PPP infrastructure risk should incorporate technological concepts and business entity perspectives. This study also contextualizes its findings within the broader landscape of emerging markets in Asia and globally and highlights these trends in the Indonesian context.

Our findings reveal increasing budgets from both central and local governments, yet limited improvements in road infrastructure. An increase in the availability of road infrastructure per km² is positively correlated with enhanced trading activities, the provision of shops, improved public transportation, and better access to education and health facilities. In addition, the establishment of airports and ports is linked to higher per capita income and increased service and manufacturing activities, as well as the growth of food stalls, shops, and banking services.

Published: July 2024

The government of Laos conducted the climate-friendly agribusiness value chains sector project in the year 2019 to encourage the improvement of competitiveness in rice production and to develop production according to meet the needs and production programs of the government. However, the number of farmers who participated in this project is an insignificant proportion compared to the number of total rice farmers. This study aims: 1) to find the problems and suggestions about commercial rice production, and 2) to develop an extension model for commercial rice production. Using a mixed methods research design, data were gathered from a) structured interviews (n = 177) and b) workshops with extension agents (n = 21). The data was analyzed using such statistics as frequency and percentage. The findings showed that most respondents were concerned with 16 problems and eight suggestions about commercial rice production. The extension model of commercial rice production comprised four main components: developing knowledge and understanding of the farmers; approaches for strengthening attitudes; encouraging the use of modern technology; and government supporting factors that could support commercial rice production. Therefore, all concerned organizations should set a clear policy to increase the capacity of the farmers and continue to develop the market system for increasing competitiveness that the farmers can sell their rice products at a satisfactory price as a result, farmers who do not participate in the commercial  rice production extension project will turn to participate in the project more in the future.

Sustainability and Privilege: A Critique of Social Design Practice
Authors: O'Leary Ceary ,   University of Detroit Mercy
Published: July 2024

In Sustainability and Privilege, Gabriel Arboleda wrestles with the language of social design, sometimes known as social impact design, public interest design or, in my corner of the field, community-engaged design. The disparate language speaks to varied intentions and methodologies of practice among social designers today. Arboleda’s account stands at odds with stories told by the “starchitects” of social design. As indicated by the book’s subtitle, he critiques the role of architects working in (rather than with) underresourced communities and the unpersuasive justifications given for their work, with insufficient recognition of lessons learned. Arboleda ultimately offers a research-based call for a participatory practice that redistributes power in social design processes to better meet local needs. As the field continues to gain prominence, his evaluation of social design practice is useful in centering the well-being of communities.
