In this study, the research material is represented by coleopteran species found in a mixed forest In this study, the research material is represented by beetle species found in a mixed forest composed of deciduous and coniferous tree species, covering an area of 8 hectares. The forest is located in an area with rich biodiversity, characterized by a natural succession of tree species and a varied pitfall, which is conducive to the development of diverse fauna.This paper focuses on analyzing the structure, dynamics, abundance, and ecological role of beetles within this forest ecosystem, emphasizing their interactions with other species and the abiotic environment. The collection of fauna was carried out using pitfall traps type Barber, which are ecological traps, during the year 2024, from July to September, over a period of three months. A total of 6 traps were installed at various marked locations in the forest, depending on vegetation density, to adequately cover habitat diversity. The material from the traps was collected at regular intervals of 10-14 days to monitor the activity of beetle species. Throughout the study, 6 collections of entomological material were conducted on the following dates: July 10, July 22, July 31, August 14, August 28, and September 11. Among the most frequently collected species are Poecilus cupreus, Necrophorus vespillo, Geotrupes vernalis, Aptinus bombarda, and Silpha carinata. These species have a significant ecological impact on the ecosystem, playing key roles in organic matter decomposition and nutrient recycling, pollination processes, and controlling populations of harmful insects. Additionally, some of these species may be classified as harmful fauna in certain contexts, having the potential to affect the natural balance of other insect species or even the vegetation. However, overall, the majority of the beetle species collected in this study have a beneficial role and are essential for maintaining the health of the analyzed forest ecosystem.

STUDY OF THE POLYPHENOLIC POTENTIAL OF RED WINE GRAPE VARIETIES CULTIVATED IN DIFFERENT VINEYARD AREAS IN OLTENIA
Authors: Stoica Felicia , Muntean Camelia , Băducă Cîmpeanu Constantin
Published: November 2024

The basic idea that governs the tracking of the ripening of grapes, in order to determine the time of harvest, is that the grapes harvested at the best time, considered optimal, allow the extraction of the maximum quality from the constituents of the grains (in our case, the maximum of phenolic compounds).The degree of ripening of the grapes largely determines the must yield during primary vinification, but especially the composition and quality of the resulting wine. A premature harvest leads to a decrease in the must yield, while a delay results in harvest losses and a decrease in the total acidity of the must, both inconvenient situations leading to a decrease in the content of polyphenols.All these considerations converge towards the final goal, namely, to capitalize as effectively as possible on the oenological potential of the varieties, for the production of quality red wines, polyphenolic and sensorial balanced.

Authors: Zanfir Valeriu , Ionescu Mariana , Gheorghiu Nicolae
Published: November 2024

The paper studied the development of the vegetation phenophases in three plum cultivars (ˈAndreeaˈ, ˈRecordˈ and ‘Čačanská lepotica’), analyzing how climatic variations and environmental factors affect their development. The BBCH scale was used to record the different phenophases. The number of days from November 1 to budding, the duration of budding, the duration of the flowering period, the number of days from the appearance of the fruits to the ripeness for consumption were calculated and it was found that the phenological stages occurred without too great differences from one cultivar to another. This is due, on the one hand, to the fact that the three cultivars were grafted on the same rootstock, and on the other hand, to the close fruit ripening period.

Published: November 2024

The purpose of this conceptual paper is to explore the challenges female principals encounter regarding teacher attrition in secondary schools. Teacher attrition is a significant issue that affects school performance, student outcomes and institutional stability. The main question guiding this study is: What are the primary factors contributing to teacher attrition in secondary schools led by female principals? A qualitative approach is employed, using an interpretive paradigm to analyse data collected through an extensive review of scholarly books and peer-reviewed articles from (2018- 2024). Findings revealed that female principals face ubiquitous challenges regarding gender bias, work-life balance and limited support structures which compound the difficulties of managing teacher attrition. Additionally, female principals often struggle with high expectations to maintain staff morale and resolve teacher turnover particularly in schools located in disadvantaged or rural areas. This study is significant as it provides insights into the intersection of leadership, gender and teacher retention by offering astute strategies for improving teacher retention in secondary schools. However, the limitations of this study include its reliance on secondary data and the absence of direct interviews or surveys with female principals which could offer more nuanced insights.

Infrared thermography is a non-invasive imaging diagnostic modality used in veterinary medicine as a screening tool, especially in cases of musculoskeletal and neurological diseases. The infrared camera is able to measure the body's surface heat and produce a map with different shades of colors that represent the distribution of heat in the body. During the acquisition of images, it is important to consider several factors in the examination, such as the model of the equipment, pixel capacity, environmental and biological factors for each species to be analyzed. It is a complementary diagnostic tool of wide use in the most diverse specialties and conditions in veterinary medicine, such as oncological, dermatological, reproductive, ophthalmological, neurological, musculoskeletal, metabolic patterns, pre, trans and postoperative, in addition to being an important non-invasive complementary test for the evaluation of animal welfare. This review discusses the fundamentals of the technique, its main uses and applications, and the role of thermography as a complementary tool for diagnosis and follow-up of therapeutic evolution in veterinary medicine.
Anomalies and Multi-Factor Models in the Chinese Market
Authors: Feng Yiheng
Published: November 2024

A stock market anomaly refers to the occurrence of excess returns in stocks that cannot be fully explained by traditional asset pricing models or the efficient market hypothesis. Studying these anomalies allows scholars to gain deeper insights into the stock market and provides investors with opportunities to capitalize on these irregularities for higher returns. In this paper, the size and value factors in the Chinese stock market are empirically tested for the period from January 2002 to December 2021, leading to several conclusions. First, the CH-3 model is found to be more suitable for the Chinese market compared to the FF-3 model. Additionally, the interpretation of anomalies using CH-3 differs from prior research, particularly regarding the CH-4 model, which incorporates a share turnover factor. These differences may stem from potential data mining effects.

Authors: Fan Dingshu , Wu Hongye
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the growing challenges faced by the insurance industry due to extreme weather events and climate change, with a focus on the widening global insurance gap. We propose a novel dual-model approach to address these complex issues. First, we develop a Gray Prediction-Based Risk Assessment Framework (GPRAF) that integrates multidimensional data on natural disasters, economic development, population dynamics, and agricultural trends. This framework enables insurance companies to make more informed underwriting decisions in the context of increasing climate-related risks. Through case studies in Japan and Mexico, we demonstrate the practical applications and implications of our approach. Our research contributes to the growing body of literature on climate risk management in the insurance sector and provides valuable insights for policymakers and industry practitioners. By bridging the gap between risk assessment and community preservation needs, this study offers a holistic perspective on adapting insurance strategies to the challenges of climate change while preserving community values.
A Study of Underwriting Decision Making Based on ARIMA Modeling with Composite Poisson Processes
Authors: Tan Ruizhe , Liu Xiaoyu
Published: November 2024

Facing the problem of frequent occurrence of natural disasters, how to accurately predict the scale of loss and the probability of insolvency is the key for insurance companies to reduce risk and optimize underwriting strategies. This paper explores the multiple influencing factors of catastrophe risk and works to establish a practical risk prediction model. The model is divided into two parts: the first part uses ARIMA model to predict the risk loss, considering the influence of disaster factors, vulnerability, exposure, and disaster prevention ability on the risk size; the second part establishes a positive risk model based on the bankruptcy theory, and assumes that the insurance enrollment process is a composite Poisson process, and constructs a model of the claims process. The probability of insolvency for each year is estimated by substituting the predicted loss values into the claims model and calculating the initial and annual premiums. The study conducted a five-year risk prediction for the Philippines and Australia, and the results show that there is a significant difference in disaster risk management between the two countries, which provides a theoretical basis and practical guidance for subsequent underwriting recommendations.
DRM Channel Estimation via OMP Algorithm
Authors: Nie Yang
Published: November 2024

Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) standard is the most mature digital broadcasting system standard all over the world. Due to the limited spectrum characteristics of DRM communication systems, pilot-based DRM channel estimation brings great challenges. In this paper, the channel estimation problem is transformed into a sparse recovery problem by leveraging the compressed sensing problem. Subsequently, the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) sparse recovery algorithm is employed to obtain accurate estimation performance with a lower pilot overhead. Compared with the traditional least square algorithm, simulation results demonstrate that the OMP-based channel estimation algorithm can obtain accurate estimation results with lower pilots, and improve the spectrum utilization while improving the estimation performance.

Published: November 2024

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are significant to main organizations like Smart Grids and water conduct and are gradually helpless to an extensive range of developing threats. Identifying threats to CPS is of greatest significance, owing to their progressive frequent usage in numerous critical assets. Traditional safety devices like firewalls and encryption are frequently insufficient for CPS designs; the execution of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) personalized for CPS is a crucial plan for safeguarding them. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have shown abundant probability in numerous areas of network security, mainly in network traffic observation and in the recognition of unauthorized access, misuse, or denial of network resources. IDS in CPSs and other fields namely the Internet of Things, is regularly considered through deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML). This manuscript offers the design of an Advanced Threat Detection utilizing the Lemurs Optimization Algorithm with Deep Learning (ATD-LOADL) methodology in the CPS platform. The primary of the ATD-LOADL methodology is to focus on the recognition and classification of cyber threats in CPS. In the preliminary phase, the pre-processing of the CPS data takes place using a min-max scaler. To select an optimum set of features, the ATD-LOADL technique uses LOA as a feature selection approach. For threat detection, the ATD-LOADL algorithm uses a multi-head attention-based long short-term memory (MHA-LSTM) classifier. At last, the detection results of the MHA-LSTM method are boosted by the use of the shuffled frog leap algorithm (SFLA).

Authors: Zhang Xiaoxi
Published: November 2024

Writing anxiety is common in language learning and is an essential factor leading to successful study. Ninth-grade students are facing the challenges of the high school entrance exam and suffering from anxiety. This study intends to investigate how students in North China's ninth grade who are experiencing writing anxiety related to foreign languages affect the caliber of their English practical writing. In this study, questionnaires and essay topics were distributed to them. SPSS was used to evaluate and measure the experimental process and results. The results show that ninth-grade pupils' moderate degree of writing anxiety is mostly caused by exam pressure. Higher anxiety levels in students are typically associated with less accurate writing. Writing complexity and fluency show no significant relation to writing anxiety. Finally, this study provides insights for English educators, enabling them to focus on key teaching points. Moreover, it provides ideas for students to lessen their nervousness when writing and enhance their output.

Published: November 2024

Drug Abuse generally refers to the use of any drug contrary to accepted medical use and social norms. Such use is often self-administered, resulting in some harm to the health of the user and to society. Alcohol abuse occurs in all groups of people. The scope of alcoholism is very broad, and there are manifestations of alcoholism among young people and vulnerable groups. How to adopt appropriate methods for alcohol intervention in vulnerable groups has been a hot issue in society. Tobacco use affects China's poor in three ways. As the world's largest producer and consumer of tobacco, China needs to control and reduce tobacco use and create a smoke-free society through various measures such as accelerating tobacco control legislation, raising tobacco tax and strengthening civic education. This article adopts a review approach to discuss the impact of drug abuse, alcohol abuse, as well as the tobacco use, investigating the reason of them, as well as possible effective measures.
A Study on the Changes of Princess Images in Disney Animated Films
Authors: Lyu Zixian
Published: November 2024

Abstract: There have been three feminist revolutions in history, and these movements have made great contributions to women's struggle for their own liberation and gender equality. From a feminist perspective, this article summarizes and analyzes the phased characteristics of the princess image in Disney animated films from 1937 to 2016, summarizing the development and evolution of the princess image in Disney films under the feminist wave in different periods, and finds that there is a certain connection between the two, which includes both the construction of social history and ideological order and the challenge to the social reality order. In general, the image of the princess seems to show obvious progressive characteristics, but there are different aspects and degrees of gender discrimination against the image of women in each stage. However, the different voices constructed by Disney in the film and the strategic adjustments made can still be regarded as a recognition of the power of feminism by the times and society.
Discussion on the Sense of Exploration in Games
Authors: Wang Yufan
Published: November 2024

Abstract: This paper explores human curiosity and desire to explore, particularly how these desires are stimulated in unknown environments. Electronic games, as a medium that is completely unknown before the experience and gives players freedom of movement, can particularly arouse players' curiosity. This article analyzes existing game design examples, studies how to meet players' exploration needs, and proposes several design ideas that help enhance the sense of exploration. Firstly, this article emphasizes that games should try to avoid excessive guidance and interference, reduce players' frustration in exploration, and ensure that the immersion of the game world is not disrupted. Secondly, the article proposes that maintaining challenge and appropriate difficulty in games can increase the excitement of exploration. At the same time, by setting diverse reward mechanisms and unexpected surprises, the fun of the exploration process can be further enhanced. This article summarizes these design strategies and provides specific guidance for exploratory games, aiming to help game designers better meet the needs of exploratory players and stimulate their desire to explore, enabling them to have a richer experience in the game.
The Use of Music Therapy in Autism
Authors: Wang Siqi
Published: November 2024

Abstract: Autism is a developmental disorder that affects the ability to communicate and interact. Autism generally appears in young children, and because there is no cure, many therapies can only partially suppress rather than address the effects of autism. Music therapies have been proven to be helpful for autistic children. However, because music therapy is not standardized, different studies always yield different results. This paper, through the method of literature review, explores the different positive effects that music therapies have on autism, finds some benefits as well as shortcomings of current music therapies, and gives some suggestions on the future development of this field. The study finds that music therapies can enhance social skills, mitigate the effects of autism, and build tighter bonds between children and their parents. This essay aims to play a positive role in promoting the development of music therapy and providing help for more autistic children.
Exploring the Potential of Stem Cells to Enhance Conventional Cancer Therapies
Authors: Meng Hongxu
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Stem cell-based therapies are emerging as promising adjuncts to conventional cancer treatments, offering innovative strategies to target cancer cells and enhance patient recovery. This paper explores the potential of stem cells, particularly mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUCMCs), to improve cancer treatment outcomes through their regenerative and differentiation capabilities. MSCs exhibit significant promise due to their ability to inhibit tumor growth, support tissue regeneration, and modulate immune responses. Their unique features, including targeted homing to tumor sites and the secretion of bioactive molecules, present novel approaches to overcoming the limitations of traditional therapies. Despite these advancements, challenges such as immune rejection and tumorigenicity must be addressed. Current strategies to mitigate these issues involve immunosuppressive drugs, genetic engineering, and advanced technologies like CRISPR-Cas9. However, the reviewed studies often involve small sample sizes or remain in the laboratory phase, limiting the generalizability of findings. Future research should focus on larger-scale clinical trials to validate the effectiveness and safety of stem cell therapies, aiming to refine these treatments and integrate them into clinical practice.

Authors: Zheng Jiayun
Published: November 2024

Abstract. Depression seriously affects the overall well-being of patients, and it causes great suffering and pain. Around 5 to 10 percent of the population globally experience depression. Within this population, the prevalence of depression in women is approximately 1.5 to 2 times higher than men and about 50% of older adults above 65 years old suffer from depression than young adults. A creative form of psychotherapy art therapy, specifically drawing and painting therapy, allows depressive patients to gain insights about their feelings, promoting healing in a harmless way. This article reviewed the benefits of art therapy in treating depressive patients based on past research. The review divides the patients into different age groups and sexes: elderly, children, adults, male, and female. It indicates that art therapy can be performed successfully across different age groups and sexes, bringing varieties of personalized benefits, especially for children, women, and elders. Some common benefits include increased self-esteem, change of perspective, and growth in mentalities.
The relationship between UHRF1 and DNMT1 and the process of DNA methylation
Authors: Wang Tianning
Published: November 2024

Abstract. The maintenance of normal epigenetic growth and development is crucial for various biological processes, with DNA methylation playing a significant role. The UHRF1-DNMT1 complex regulates DNA methylation, particularly in mammalian cells. This review paper explores the relationship between UHRF1, DNMT1, and DNA methylation homeostasis in cancer cells. Studies have primarily focused on human colorectal cell lines HCT116 and DLD1, shedding light on the protein stabilization of UHRF1 and DNMT1 through methylation-mediated ubiquitination. The impact of UHRF1 on DNA methylation in cancer cells is evaluated by controlling growth hormones. Furthermore, the study reveals that UHRF1 down-regulation influences DNMT1-mediated methylation on DNA and highlights the non-canonical functions of UHRF1 that significantly contribute to DNA methylation homeostasis. This review paper delves into the intricate relationship between the UHRF1-DNMT1 complex and DNA methylation homeostasis, particularly in the context of cancer cells. By examining the protein stabilization mechanisms of UHRF1 and DNMT1, as well as the regulatory role of UHRF1 in DNA methylation, this study provides valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying epigenetic regulation. The findings presented in this review contribute to a better understanding of the role of UHRF1 and DNMT1 in maintaining DNA methylation patterns and highlight their potential implications in cancer biology.
