Experimental studies on factors influencing the transmission of Dutch elm disease
Authors: Webber J. F.
Published: May 2024

Although various species of insects and arthropods have been considered as potential vectors of Dutch elm disease, there is little doubt that the current pandemic of the disease has been driven by the activities of just a few, highly effective bark beetle vectors mainly within the genus Scolytus. The disease transmission process, however, is highly complex. The behaviour of each beetle species, and even the behaviour of individual beetles, influences the transmission of Ophiostoma novo-ulmi and O. ulmi at many points in the disease cycle. Beetle behaviour during breeding in the bark of diseased trees affects the quantity and quality of pathogen spores carried by newly emerged beetle vectors. The behaviour of beetles during dissemination and host seeking affects how successful the transfer of the pathogen from vector to feeding groove will be and, ultimately, the potential for colonisation of a tree’s vascular system. The resistance mechanisms of elms themselves also play a part disease transmission including different resistance mechanisms operating in the feeding groove compared with the resistance mechanism in the vascular system. Experiments assessing the significance of these processes are presented in this paper.

Authors: Modrego M. P. , Elena-Roselló R.
Published: May 2024

The methodology previously used to study the afforestations by terraces with Pinus sylvestris L. in Castilla y León is extended in this paper to study in more detail the impact on physical soil properties of the afforestations by terraces with Scots pine in the northern area of the Iberian Range of Soria. The values of soil parameters are obtained from 5 profile types: non-afforested, next to the cutting, next to the embankment, between terraces and in Scots pine mature stands, located in seven plot series, and then compared. The soil parameters are evaluated as follows: fine earth, sand, silt and clay, both in the whole profile and in the upper layer of the profile, permeability, equivalent moisture and water holding capacity of the soil profile, and erodibility. After 16-17 years, no significant changes have occurred in the physical properties that define the soil habitat of the Pinus sylvestris in Spain. Significant fine particle retention, nonoutstanding decrease of permeability, considerable improvement of water holding capacity, no increase of erodibility and progress toward ecological conditions similar to the soils with mature stands are detected, with values within those of the present central habitat of the species in Spain. Regarding to the changes in the soil physical properties, this method result appropriate for afforesting with Pinus sylvestris the above-mentioned region.

Causes of Gender Bias in Chinas Education and Its Countermeasures
Authors: Yang Ziyi
Published: May 2024

The existence of gender bias in education is a complex issue in the context of Chinese society. Through an in-depth study of the phenomenon of gender differences in China's cultural, historical, political, and economic contexts, this paper reveals the specific reasons behind it, its manifestations, and the effects it brings. Besides, some concrete suggestions and measures are also put forward. It can be concluded from the analysis that teachers hold different expectations and different educational attitudes towards students of different genders in the educational environment. The prejudice caused by such gender stereotyping will be consciously or unconsciously manifested in their teaching as well as in their contact with students. This will have an inescapable impact on students' academic development and career development. In order to eliminate gender discrimination in education, a series of measures need to be taken. Firstly, traditional cultural and socially perceived prejudices should be changed to improve the status and educational opportunities for women. Secondly, it is necessary to strengthen teachers' gender awareness and educational training so that they can focus on gender equality and justice in education. In addition, it is necessary to establish a fair and equal campus culture and evaluation system to encourage students to fulfil their potential and strengths.

Authors: Zhang Wanting
Published: May 2024

Adolescents around the world now utilize social media on a daily basis. Social media addiction, a psychobehavioral condition, is characterized by excessive, uncontrollable use of social media and compulsive attention to it. It has been linked to a number of negative health effects. As social media has grown in popularity, the potential impact on teenage health and well-being has received a great deal of social and academic attention. Research on social media addiction and its consequences is urgently needed in order to create effective prevention strategies. Despite increased research into social media addiction, there are still numerous hurdles and research gaps. This paper uses observation and questionnaires to investigate and understand adolescents. The findings of the study suggest that there are a wide range of consequences, both positive and negative, associated with social media use among adolescents. However, the risk of social media addiction is considerable due to the lack of self-control among adolescents, which is prevalent in terms of the percentage of social media users.

Authors: Wu Qiong
Published: May 2024

The wheel of history rolls forward, leaving a profound mark on the land of ancient Rome. In this long history, Roman law, as the birthplace of Western civilization, has a far-reaching impact. Among them, the bloodshed between the aristocrats and the commoners is undoubtedly the most profound mark in Roman history. However, behind this mark is hidden a great law - the Laws of the Twelve Tables. Laws of the Twelve Tables is the earliest written law of ancient Rome, which had a profound influence on the development of the legal system of later generations. The birth of this law marked the transformation of Roman society from a tribal union to a centralized system, and laid the foundation for the later Roman Empire. This paper will assess the historical significance and impact of the Twelve Bronze Tables Law in light of contemporary legal theories. This will offer a fresh viewpoint and source of inspiration for future research on Roman legal history, help people around the world gain a better understanding of the principles and practices of the rule of law in ancient Rome, and serve as a helpful guide for the development of the rule of law in contemporary society.
The Application of Game Theory in Engineering Project Management
Authors: Wang Zekun
Published: May 2024

The coexistence of conflict of interest and cooperation are two of the most significant characteristics in the process of construction project management. To maximize their interests, all parties involve and restrict each other in the process of management, resulting in the phenomenon of information asymmetry between Party A and Party B, passive slacking of contractors, project quality defects, and project claims in the process of project management. By applying game theory to the construction of engineering projects, it can facilitate managers from all parties to choose better decisions, thereby further improving the level of engineering management and expanding their own profits. Starting from the basic concepts of game theory and engineering project management, this article focuses on three perspectives: project bidding stage, construction stage, and engineering claim stage. It analyzes the game between owners and contractors under incomplete information conditions and concludes that both parties should realize the sharing of information resources and strictly abide by the principle of engineering contract equality. Several suggestions related to engineering project management are also proposed.

Authors: Lockey Stephen D. , Jauregui Julio J. , Cavanaugh Daniel L. , Koh Eugene Y. , Shen Francis H.T. , Ludwig Steven C. , Ratanpal Amit S. , Chiu Anthony K.
Published: May 2024

Thoracic myelopathy can be a challenging condition to diagnose and treat. Successful outcomes depend on early recondition of the pathology and appropriate surgical referral in cases of progressive neurologic deterioration. The thoracic cord is tethered in kyphosis by the dentate ligaments and contains a tenuous blood supply. These conditions make the thoracic cord particularly susceptible to external compression and ischemic damage. Careful preoperative planning with specific attention to the location and source of thoracic stenosis is critical to successful decompression and complication avoidance. The purpose of this discussion is to outline the common sources of thoracic myelopathy and current recommendations regarding diagnosis and management. The review concludes with an overview of the most up-to-date literature regarding clinical outcomes.
Positive Deviance and Exploring the Role of Mental Health on Early Postoperative Recovery After Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Analysis Using the PROMIS-10 Global Health
Authors: Kostyun Regina O. , Hackett Anna , Lucchio Peter , Witmer Daniel K. , Solomito Matthew J.
Published: May 2024

Introduction:

Mental illnesses are well-known factors that contribute to poor outcomes among total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients. However, a dichotomized mental illness diagnosis may not reflect the complex biopsychosocial factors contributing to a patient's health. Investigating patients who achieve positive outcomes despite having risk factors, known as positive deviants, may help identify protective characteristics and decrease health disparities among this growing population of patients. Using preoperative Mental Health T-scores (MHT) from the PROMIS-10 Global Health questionnaire among patients with a mental illness diagnosis, the purpose of this study was to explore whether patients with above-average MHT, or positive deviants, experienced a different immediate postoperative recovery path compared with patients with below-average MHT.

Methods:

This was a retrospective chart review of patients undergoing elective primary THA. Patients with a formal diagnosis of a mental health condition were divided based on their MHT (above average [AA] >50, average [A] 40 to 50, below average [BA] <40). Postsurgical parameters included total opioid consumption, self-reported pain scores, and discharge disposition.

Results:

A total of 299 patients were analyzed. After controlling for length of stay and type of mental illness, patients in the AA-MHT and A-MHT groups used 33.8 and 29.8 morphine milligram equivalents less than patients in the BA-MHT group during the inpatient stay, respectively. Patients in the AA-MHT group reported a 1.0 lower pain with activity score at discharge compared with patients in the BA-MHT group.

Discussion:

The intersection between patients with a mental illness in need of a THA is becoming more commonplace. Data suggest that patients with a mental illness who report AA-MHT on the PROMIS-10 Global Health questionnaire may represent positive deviants or those with a more positive in-hospital recovery path compared with those patients with BA-MHT.

Level of evidence:

Diagnostic study–retrospective cohort study.

Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to provide a theoretical basis and practical help for the implementation of domestic cognitive behavioral therapy supervision by reviewing the studies centered on competence enhancement and competency evaluation of supervisors, which are the core emphasis in the practice of cognitive behavioral therapy supervision. To this end, this study introduced the practice of capacity building and evaluation based on several studies that verified inter-rater reliability and validity of evaluation tools for cognitive behavioral therapy supervision. The conclusion is as follows. First, competency reinforcement used in cognitive behavioral therapy supervision is basically divided into basic competency and functional competency, and helps to perform high quality psychotherapy and supervision. Second, representative measurement tools for evaluating the competence of cognitive behavioral supervision are SAGE(Supervision: Adherence and Guidance Evaluation) and CTS-R(Revised Cognitive Therapy Scale). In the future, for domestic use of SAGE and CTS-R, additional processes such as understanding of evaluation tools, ethical aspects, evaluator training, and securing reliability are thought to be necessary. In addition, if continuous exploration and training are conducted for the development of domestic cognitive behavioral therapy research, it is believed that it will be of great practical help to the qualitative growth and development of supermarkets.

Published: May 2024

Aim:In small ruminant surgery, an understanding of the haematological responses to different anesthetic protocols is crucial for optimizing post-operative outcomes. In this study, the haematological responses of West African Dwarf (WAD) goats undergoing rumenotomy under different anaesthetic protocols were investigated.
Methods:Goats were categorized into three groups: Group A received Diazepam pre-medication and Propofol anesthesia, Group B received xylazine pre-medication and Propofol anesthesia, while Group C served as a control with only Propofol anesthesia during rumenotomy. Blood samples were collected at various time points post-rumenotomy for hematological analyses. Results: Results revealed no significant (P>0.05) differences in the packed cell volume (PCV) between groups, except at 24 hours post-surgery where Group A had a higher PCV than in Groups B and C. Haemoglobin (Hb) and total red blood cell count (TRBC) showed no significant (P>0.05) differences across all groups throughout the study. Total white blood cell count (TWBC) did not differ pre-surgery, but Group A displayed a significant increase immediately and 24 hours post-surgery. Neutrophil counts in Group A were elevated during intra-surgery and up to 48 hours post-surgery compared to Groups B and C. The lymphocyte count in Group A was significantly decreased immediately post-surgery.
Conclusion:These findings highlight the impact of anaesthetic and pre-medication protocols on specific haematological parameters in WAD goats undergoing rumenotomy, thus, emphasizing the importance of considering these factors in surgical interventions for optimal postoperative outcomes. Hence, further research is recommended to elucidate the mechanisms associated with these haematological variations.

Authors: Liu Caixia
Published: May 2024

In life, opportunities and challenges coexist, and success and failure are linked. In today's society, it is difficult to figure out the factors that affect people's success or failure; however, there is always a way to succeed and a reason to fail. In an environment where people aspire to success and seek to realize their self-worth, it is a long and arduous process to learn to overcome the causes of failure, uphold one's beliefs, and ultimately achieve success, and the American film The Pursuit of Happyness can bring inspiration accordingly. The film is based on a true incident, and the main character, Chris, is modeled after African-American investment expert Chris Gardner. In the film, despite the misfortunes of both his career and his family, Chris is able to create his own happiness through his struggle and enterprising spirit in the end. The success of Chris in the film can be attributed to several factors. Based on the analysis of the direction Chris chooses to struggle, his beliefs, willpower, love for his son, and attitude, this article explores the subjective factors that lead to his eventual career success. Through the analysis of the subjective reasons for Chris’s success, it will positively impact people’s lives and help them to shape positive values, so that even in adversity, people will still struggle and work hard to get their own achievements.
Image Super-resolution Networks based on Structure Reparameterized Convolution
Authors: Xing Tianya , Huo Hua
Published: May 2024

The traditional image super resolution method based on convolutional neural network generally brings two problems: First, the model has only a single scale of receptive field, which cannot use the image information in a smaller range; Second, the size of the feature map will become smaller and smaller in the process of continuous convolution, and it is necessary to continuously carry out edge zeroing operation to maintain the original size, which leads to the loss of part of the edge information. To solve the above two problems, we propose a network structure based on structure re-parameterized convolution, which sets a small convolution kernel in parallel beside a large convolution kernel in the same layer, trains the two cores simultaneously, and finally merges the two cores. The experimental results show that in this way, we make the large convolution kernel could capture smaller information, which not only improves the high-frequency details of the reconstructed image but also avoids frequent edge filling to reduce the information density, and effectively speeds up the reasoning speed after the model is re-parameterized. Compared with the advanced methods, our method achieves good results.

Authors: Chen Xinming , Chen Jiaojiao , Jiao Huazhe , Li Dongbing , Yang Zhi , Wang Jie
Published: May 2024

A grouting material pressure effect simulation device (FSD) was used to study the performance of grout considering grouting pressure, slurry rheology, clay ash, slurry concentration and particle size composition of waste stone powder (FSD influencing factors). After the effect of filter pressing, the alkaline environment of the slurry became stronger, the number of active particles increased, and the CaCO3 and clay crystals were fully agglomerate, and the degree of crystallization increased. The cation exchange capacity increased, and the formation of calcium-silicon-aluminum matrix phase and aluminosilicate aggregates increased. The surface water between the matrix particles supports the crystal layer, and the plastic viscosity and yield stress are reduced. The free calcium oxide decreased, and the consolidation shrinkage rate after slurry hardening was less than 1%. The water-cement ratio is reduced, and the total time for slurry to be poured into the fracture to consolidate and form a mold and intermittent is shortened.  The use of waste stone powder and clay in the coal mine grouting industry can not only reduce project costs, but also reduce soil erosion and soil pollution.

Authors: Arı Bünyamin , Aydın Hafız
Published: May 2024

Objective: Combined with open reduction through medial adductor approach, Salter innominate osteotomy (SIO) and Pemberton
pericapsular osteotomy (PPO) methods are common procedures for the repair of incomplete acetabulum structure in patients with
developmental hip dysplasia (DHD). The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of acetabulum development in patients treated
using these two methods.
Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 50 (65 hip joints) children who underwent SIO or PPO for
DHD. Thirty-three patients underwent SIO and 32 patients underwent PPO as surgical treatment. The criteria of Tönnis, modified
McKay, and Severin, and angles of acetabular index (AI) and acetabular center-edge (CE) angles of both groups were compared.
Results: There were significant differences between two groups in the time of operation, follow-up time after operation, preoperative
and postoperative AI angles, and postoperative 1styear CE angles. AI was detected as lower in the PPO group at 1stmonth postoperatively.
Whereas, mean AI was detected as higher in the preoperative PPO group. In addition, the acetabular CE angle was significantly lower
in the PPO group at 1styear postoperatively. However, there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of the CE angle
value measured at the final follow-up.
Conclusion: Salter innominate osteotomy and PPO methods used in the treatment of DHD have specific advantages and disadvantages.
Preoperative and intraoperative evaluations of patients are very important in determining which procedure should be performed.
When the choice is made properly, clinical and radiological results are both satisfactory.
The history of the study of mediation institutions in Kazakhstan
Authors: Kenzhebekova Zhansaya , Musabalina Gulnara
Published: May 2024

Relevance. Mediation is one of the most dynamically developing legal institutions in the modern world. Due to the fact that traditional methods of resolving disputes remain ineffective and do not always satisfy the parties with their results, the use of such an alternative method as mediation allows resolving the conflict at the pre-trial stage in a peaceful way. The need for a comprehensive implementation of the institution of mediation in the life of Kazakhstani society, as promising and necessary in modern conditions, determines the relevance of the study. The history of the study of mediation institutions has not been subjected to special scientific research. The coverage of the problems of the historical development of mediation in Kazakhstan from the court of biys to the modern institution of mediation is the scientific novelty of this article.Purpose. The purpose of the study is to study the history of the development of mediation institutions in Kazakhstan.Methodology. Various methods were used for the study, such as descriptive, comparative historical-critical, methods of analysis, synthesis, dialectical method of scientific knowledge.Results. In the course of the study, it was concluded that despite its apparent unconventionality and modernity, mediation has a long history and deep roots in Kazakh society. A function similar to mediation in the XVIII-XIX centuries was performed by the court of biys, forcibly liquidated by the imperial administration in the 2nd half of the XIX century.Conclusions. The establishment of a modern institution of mediation in Kazakhstan in 2011 should in part be considered a revival of old traditions. Most scientists dealing with this problem agree that mediation in Kazakhstan needs to be developed, as well as to expand its use in various fields, taking into account both international experience and the traditions and mentality of the Kazakh people.

Language learning within the context of communicative and semantic guidelines is presented as a process of consciousness manifestation, forming connections with other knowledge when reflecting on real-world issues. Furthermore, it was established that aviation English language proficiency entails international and specific requirements aimed at ensuring safety and mutual understanding among professionals during their operations. To effectively inform and teach this language within educational programmes, various methodological tools and materials are necessary to consistently enhance and develop language skills in line with the high demands of the field and contemporary society.Conclusions. The practical value of this study lies in its application by academics studying thematic aspects of foreign language within the aviation industry, and educators and specialists in the pedagogical field.

Tomato is a widely cultivated crop with significant economic importance in the agro based industry. However, tomato plants are susceptible to various diseases that can severely impact yield and quality. Early and accurate detection of these diseases is crucial for effective disease management and ensuring optimal production. In this study, we propose a novel approach that a convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for the automated detection of tomato leaf diseases. First, Convolutions is employed to reduce the dimensionality of the input data, extracting the most relevant features for disease detection. The CNN leverages its ability to learn complex patterns and features from the data, enabling accurate classification of various tomato leaf diseases. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach, we conducted experiments using a diverse dataset of tomato leaf images with different disease manifestations.

Published: May 2024

This research examines the utilisation of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) by university undergraduates in Ibadan, Nigeria, for digital skill development. A survey of 378 undergraduates from the University of Ibadan, Lead City University, and Dominican University is conducted. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) simplifies UTAUT variables, while regression analysis explores factors influencing MOOC usage. Results show a substantial 77.8% adoption rate of MOOCs, indicating a growing interest in online learning. Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and internet accessibility significantly influence MOOC usage, though higher values for performance expectancy and facilitating conditions unexpectedly correspond to reduced utilisation. Demographic factors like age and gender do not significantly impact adoption. Limitations include the focus on Ibadan university students, potentially limiting generalizability, and the study’s cross-sectional nature, which may not capture long-term trends. Nonetheless, the research sheds light on digital education in Nigeria, emphasising MOOC utilisation among students. Rigorous statistical analyses and incorporating the UTAUT framework provide a robust foundation for interpretation. The results highlight prevalent MOOC usage and offer insights into adoption factors. Implications extend to educational institutions, instructors, digital literacy initiatives, and policy-making, stressing the importance of enhancing MOOC adoption for digital skill development among Nigerian university students.
