Authors: Bednarek-Szczepańska Maria
Published: August 2024

Celem artykułu była charakterystyka i ocena uwag składanych do projektów miejscowych planów zagospodarowania przestrzennego obszarów wiejskich. Przeglądowi poddano listy uwag do 74 projektów planów miejscowych dla obszarów wiejskich czterech różnych typów, uchwalanych w latach 2010–2022. Listy te zawierały łącznie 2109 uwag. Przedmiotem rozpoznania była liczebność uwag, ich tematyka, a także występowanie uwag o charakterze zbiorowym. Projekty planów miejscowych nie wywołują najczęściej zainteresowania mieszkańców, a uwagi do nich składają pojedyncze osoby, nawet gdy plany te obejmują obszar wsi lub kilku wsi. Najwięcej kontrowersji wzbudzają ustalenia planistyczne na obszarach wokół stolic województw, z wyjątkiem tych najmniejszych. Chęć zmiany przeznaczenia gruntu pod zabudowę mieszkaniową, sprzeciw wobec potencjalnie uciążliwej inwestycji oraz lokalizacja dróg były najczęściej występującymi kategoriami tematycznymi uwag. Na podstawie trzech cech zaproponowano typy formalnej reakcji społecznej na projekt planu. W ponad 1/3 wszystkich analizowanych przypadków reakcja ta była znikoma. Ponadto wyróżniają się dwa typy: intensywna reakcja zbiorowa tematycznie skoncentrowana (występująca w sytuacji kontrowersyjnej lokalizacji inwestycji) i słaba reakcja indywidualna tematycznie skoncentrowana (wyrażająca najczęściej dążenia właścicieli nieruchomości do zmiany przeznaczenia gruntów).

Authors: Tsanie Maria Latifa , Kusumaningrum Anggraeni Endah
Published: August 2024

Untuk memastikan kejelasan hukum dan perlindungan hukum bagi dokter yang melaksanakan tindakan medis setelah mendapat persetujuan pasien, artikel ini akan menganalisis risiko yang diambil oleh dokter selama tindakan medis yang belum diatur secara eksplisit dan khusus dalam peraturan perundang-undangan. Dengan memakai sumber hukum sekunder, penelitian ini memakai metodologi yuridis normatif. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwasanya UU Nomor 29 Tahun 2004 Tentang Praktik Kedokteran kurang mengatur risiko medis secara tegas dan tegas, sehingga diperlukan politik hukum dengan pembaharuan hukum yang kemudian memasukkan pengertian risiko medis yang dilakukan oleh dokter dalam tindakan medis. Hal ini bisa memberikan kepastian hukum karena sudah ditetapkan standar yang luas agar individu mengetahui perbuatan yang boleh dan tidak boleh dilakukan, serta memberikan perlindungan hukum kepada dokter dalam melaksanakan tindakan medis terhadap pasien. Ini bisa diekstrapolasi dari gagasan risiko medis untuk menginformasikan bagaimana kita sebenarnya mempraktikkan kedokteran.

Published: August 2024

The objective of this study was to analyze the surface morphology and elemental composition of a glass-ceramic developed with different proportions of wollastonite (W) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) implanted in a rat calvaria. The glass-ceramic was prepared with a mixture of W and TCP powders in proportions (W%/TCP%) equal to 20/80%, 60/40% and 80/20%, followed by sintering and processing to obtain granules with sizes between 400 and 600 μm, which were implanted in rat calvaria and analyzed at biological points of 7, 15 and 45 days after implantation. For morphological analysis, the samples were micrographed under a scanning electron microscope and analyzed using the software ImageJ. The elemental analysis was carried out using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that the different proportions of W and TCP promoted different changes in the microstructure of the remaining glass-ceramic along the biological points, as well as presenting different concentrations of O, Si, Ca and P. It is concluded that the different proportions of W and TCP gave the glass-ceramic different biodegradability behaviors after implantation in a bone site.

Conservative Management of Placenta Previa-Accreta in a First Trimester Missed Abortion
Authors: Holliday Nicolette
Published: August 2024

The incidence of placenta accreta has been increasing along with the incidence of caesarean sections. There have only been a few case reports of placenta accreta diagnosed in the first trimester, and none in association with a missed abortion in a woman without risk factors. At a routine prenatal visit, a 33 year old G2P0101 at 12+6 weeks had an ultrasound demonstrating a fetus with a crown-rump length of 8+0 weeks, no fetal heart tones, a placenta previa, and a morbidly adherent placenta. The patient requested conservative management to help preserve her fertility. Imaging demonstrated an anterior placenta previa with extension of the placenta past the inner endometrium into the superficial myometrium wall and the myometrium adjacent to the superior surface of the bladder. Consultation with Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) at another institution similarly demonstrated a suspicion of vascular invasion of the uterine wall with no increased vascularity extending to the maternal bladder using color flow Doppler. The opinion from this second MFM team recommended expectant management with serial beta-hCG, ultrasounds, and serial physician visits as well. Her beta-hCG levels declined serially from 55262 to 4874 mIU/mL over eight weeks. Her serial ultrasounds showed involution of the placenta and reasborption of the fetus during that time. After nine weeks of conservative management, the patient underwent an uncomplicated suction dilation and curettage. Postoperatively, the patient did well and did not have any complications. A first trimester missed abortion with a placenta previa and accreta can be managed conservatively in the attempt to preserve future fertility.

Authors: Zhang Yufei
Published: August 2024

As one of the leading platforms in China, Douyin has allowed the underprivileged group of rural women to showcase themselves. While empowering them, it has also led to the imposition of various labels on them. This paper conducts an in-depth study of the representation of rural women through content analysis and other research methods. It analyzes the representation of rural women from the perspectives of the communicators and the audience, and explores how the Chinese government and the platform can improve this situation. Research has found that the transmitters, the rural women themselves, have diverse images. Some are diligent and hardworking, while others are passionate about traditional culture, breaking the stereotype of poverty and lack of education. The audience has shifted from having prejudices to getting closer and gaining a deeper understanding of the rural women's image through the Douyin platform. The writer suggests that rural women should learn more about new media knowledge and improve their new media skills. The Douyin platform should encourage high-quality content production and strengthen the supervision of inappropriate and low-quality content. The government should provide relevant support policies and strengthen education for rural women.

Authors: Li Yuxuan
Published: August 2024

Since the era of reform and opening-up, policies concerning the education of children of migrants have continuously evolved and improved. However, several issues exist in the execution of these policies: additive implementation of policies, ambiguous positioning in policy execution, slow reform of the household registration system, and an imperfect policy supervision mechanism. This paper analyzes these issues from multiple dimensions through literature review and qualitative analysis, and delving into the underlying causes of the problems during policy implementation. Furthermore, based on these causes, a series of recommendations for improvement are proposed, which firstly need to adjust the distribution of interests and enhance the clarity of policy objectives and effectiveness tracking. It also requires the establishment of an efficient supervision system to promote the reform process of the household registration system. In addition, the feasibility of the policy can be increased by strengthening the publicity and promotion of the policy. These recommendations can ensure the effective implementation of education policies concerning children of the migrant population, thereby safeguarding the educational rights of children of migrants.

Analyzing the Impact of Aesthetic Anthropology on Art Appreciation Through the Lens of Gestalt Psychology
Authors: Wang Xiangping
Published: August 2024

Historically, art appreciation has been considered an elite activity, often requiring extensive knowledge and expertise. However, this perspective has evolved over time. This paper explores the innovative integration of anthropology and psychology with art, focusing on how these disciplines can make art more accessible to ordinary people. By applying Gestalt theory to everyday aesthetic activities, this study reveals how abstract concepts can become universal and relatable. Case studies of Antonio Canova's "Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss" and Picasso's "Bull" series show that viewers can understand and resonate with artistic themes even without extensive knowledge. Additionally, this paper examines how social and cultural contexts influence aesthetic experiences from the perspective of aesthetic anthropology, particularly "contextual aesthetics." The findings highlight the importance of removing barriers to art appreciation, encouraging active participation and subjective interpretation, and promoting inclusive and dynamic artistic expressions. The study also acknowledges the limitations of sample diversity and reliance on qualitative analysis, recommending that future research incorporate quantitative methods to obtain more reliable data.

Exploring the Effect of Exercise in Assisting the Treatment of Depression
Authors: Ma Yinghong
Published: August 2024

Depression is a prevalent mood disorder that significantly impairs the quality of life for those affected. Studies have indicated that exercise offers significant benefits in the treatment of depression. Exercise not only ameliorates the emotional state, self-perception, and sleep quality of individuals with depression but also facilitates the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which play a regulatory role in mood and enhance the capacity of patients to combat depression, thereby assisting in treatment. Among these neurotransmitters, serotonin is considered the most critical. This study aims to investigate the effect of exercise in adjunctive therapy by examining the mechanism of serotonin in treating depression and the influence of exercise therapy on serotonin levels. Findings suggest that exercise therapy has a substantial effect on serotonin levels and can serve as an adjunctive treatment for depression. As an adjunctive treatment, exercise therapy can reduce treatment costs and provide a therapeutic option for patients who cannot undergo pharmacological treatment. Additionally, as a non-pharmacological treatment method, exercise holds significant meaning for the treatment of depression and warrants further promotion and application in clinical practice.
The pathogenesis and treatment of Parkinson's disease
Authors: Tong Jie
Published: August 2024

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that primarily affects middle-aged and older adults. Its incidence is second only to that of Alzheimer's disease. The primary source of clinical symptoms is the degradation and death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra-striatum. Patients mainly show motor symptoms such as static tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability, and non-motor symptoms such as sensory disturbance, autonomic nervous dysfunction and mental cognitive impairment. There is no proven way to cure the disease or to slow its progression through neuroprotection, therefore treatment focuses mostly on treating symptoms. This study examines the shared pathophysiology of PD, which includes inflammation, abnormalities in protein handling, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Next it discusses the available PD treatment options, which include standard medication therapy, promising surgical procedures, gene therapy, and new approaches to individualized PD care. The safety and usefulness of many treatments are still unknown, though. Hope that as life science and technology advance, the etiology of Parkinson's disease will become clearer and more dependable treatment options will be created to enhance sufferers' quality of life.

Authors: Ye Yuyang
Published: August 2024

Over the period from 2020 to 2023, a four-year non-military battle drew to a close, marking the end of the COVID-19 pandemic that will be etched into history. During this time frame, policies and technologies aimed at combating the virus were developed, ultimately saving numerous lives and enhancing people's efficacy in battling the virus while demonstrating unwavering determination. However, some less mature biological nucleic acid technologies and some controversial policy bases are still being improved. Through the development of biotechnology levels and policies, the research and development of three mRNA vaccines, health codes and RT-PCR nucleic acid detection methods have greatly improved the efficiency of epidemic prevention and control. The government's policy of controlling speech and behavior at the initial stage of the outbreak brought people together to fight against the virus. These technologies are being researched to reduce the number of casualties and minimize losses. For example, circRNA or saRNA vaccines are still in the research stage. If these more advanced techniques are put into use, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the means of fighting against the virus. This is also the direction and key for future research and development.

Authors: Jiang Jiarui , Sun Mengsui , Lin Mengyao , Ouyang Mingfei
Published: August 2024

VIX, also known as the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, is designed to measure the markets expectation of 30-day volatility. People could use VIX for risk management, hedging, or portfolio diversification because it is seen as a signal of risk, uncertainty, and peoples fear in financial markets. However, considering previous studies have not focused on the sectorbased VIX, this paper aims to monitor the market risks better and assess market expectations, in terms of portfolio management or risk hedging, by creating sectorbased VIX. First, we figure out 11 sectors in the current market based on the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). Second, we select a few of the 11 sectors to compute the respective VIX for each sector over a fixed period. Third, we do the correlation between different sectors. Findings from the above calculations suggest that healthcare with utilities and consumer staples have a positive correlation, as well as consumer staples and utilities. In contrast, a negative correlation is observed between information technology and utilities and consumer staples; moreover, consumer discretionary exhibits a negative correlation with utilities. These results show potential diversification opportunities for investors to consider when managing investment. Besides, by exploring correlations across several sectors, this study provides investors with a unique perspective on the volatile market environment with greater flexibility.

E-commerce and Rural Household Debt Expansion: --A Quasi-Natural Experiment from a National Rural E-commerce Comprehensive Demonstration Policy in Rural Areas
Authors: Cheng Shijun
Published: August 2024

In recent years, the risk of rural household debt has risen rapidly, and the development and diffusion of e-commerce in rural areas has the tendency to promote the expansion of household debt. Using the sample data of the China Family Panel Survey (CFPS) from 2014 to 2020,and taking the "Comprehensive Demonstration of E-commerce in Rural Areas" project as a quasi-natural experiment, this paper analyzes the impact and mechanism of e-commerce on rural household debt by using the staggered DID model. The results show that e-commerce significantly increases the debt size and risk of rural households. Mechanism analysis shows that e-commerce mainly alleviates the financial exclusion problem, stimulates household consumption-based expenditure and agricultural production, and thus promotes household consumption and borrowing debt. Based on this, it is important to pay attention to the debt risk of low-income newly indebted households in rural areas, to strengthening the upgrading of the consumption structure in rural areas, raising the standard of living of the rural population. This paper provides a new perspective for understanding the indebtedness of rural residents and identifying the impact of e-commerce and the digital economy on rural debt, which is of some significance for further improving the development of e-commerce in rural areas.
The Impact of Industrial Clusters on Supply Chain Resilience: The Moderating Role of Supply Chain Concentration
Authors: Shi Ruomeng
Published: August 2024

This study aims to explore the relationship between industrial agglomeration and supply chain resilience. This study is built upon a theoretical framework grounded in the effects of industrial agglomeration, including the scale effect, industry correlation effect, and spillover effect. Through analyzing industrial agglomeration phenomena, the study posits that the clustering of numerous related enterprises within specific geographical areas may lead to increased supply chain resilience. The significance of supply chain concentration is essential as it acts as a moderating factor in this association, potentially enhancing the resilience of the supply chain. This research hypothesizes that such clustering incentivizes enterprises to establish collaborative relationships with nearby suppliers to reduce transportation costs and streamline supply chain complexity, enhancing theoretical research on the influence of industrial agglomeration on supply chain dynamics constitutes a significant aspect of this study. Therefore, this study will provide new theoretical perspectives in related fields and important references for firms to improve supply chain resilience.

A Study of the Capital Structure Characteristics Across Diverse Industries
Authors: Shi Changxin
Published: August 2024

The matter of how a company's capital is structured is frequently discussed in literature related to this topic since 1950s. Nevertheless, theories on optimal capital structure are categorized into different approaches, with their features often controversial and conflicting. The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of the characteristics as well as determinants of the capital structure in capital-intensive, labor-intensive, and tech & healthcare industries in different countries, based on two main theories in capital structure- pecking order theory and static trade-off theory. The paper also highlights the important relationship between financial leverage and the companys performance and therefore tries to find the optimal capital structure. The study is composed of two main sections. The first part is to organize the previous study and various definitions of capital structure and some relevant theories. The second part shows how features of the leverage ratio vary across industries and how companies create value out of it. This paper proposes, after examining previous literature, that the factors influencing the optimal capital structure vary among companies depending on their characteristics. Companies in various sectors have their preferences to make the most use of debt and equity. It is hard to generalize a specific optimal ratio that suits every corporation.

A Study of the Relationship Between Capital Structure and Corporate Performance
Authors: Deng Kaiyuan
Published: August 2024

This study examines the impact of capital structure on the corporate performance. The findings on different industries like capital-intensive, labor-intensive, and technology and healthcare indicate that low leverage companies operate with greater capital flexibility and with reduced financial risk, but their ability to grow and expand will be constrained by a lack of sufficient funding. Highly leveraged businesses use money more efficiently, but they also carry a larger financial risk. The capital structures of the technological and medical sectors change at different phases. Typically, this innovative industry's substantial capital investment carries a considerable danger of financial strain in addition to the possibility for large reward. For different markets, developed countries' capital structures and impact are like those of low-leverage businesses, whereas developing countries' capital structures and impact are like those of highly leveraged sectors. Furthermore, it examines China and Vietnam among developing countries, considering their distinct features within the same market. China and emerging nations have comparable traits, but Vietnam depends more on retained earnings for development like developed countries, which reduces financial strain and risk but has an impact on the growth and development of businesses.
