Prediction of the Ammonia Nitrogen Content with Improved Grey Model by Markov Chain
Authors: Fang Yiheng
Published: June 2024

Water pollution prediction plays a crucial role in environmental protection and sustainable development. This study proposes an innovative approach to enhance the accuracy of water pollution prediction by combining the grey prediction model (GM) with Markov chain analysis. This research focuses on predicting the concentration of ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) in Dongting Lake, a significant water body. Grey prediction models (GM) are utilized to forecast NH3-N content, addressing the challenge posed by incomplete or insufficient data. However, due to the dynamic nature of water quality indicators, GM models may have limitations in terms of accuracy. To overcome this issue, this study introduces the concept of Markov chains, incorporating historical state transitions into prediction models to achieve more precise forecasts. The research demonstrates a novel method for water pollution prediction that integrates GM models with Markov chain analysis, resulting in improved accuracy when predicting NH3-N concentrations. A comparison with traditional GM predictions highlights the effectiveness of this approach. The model's performance was evaluated using actual data from the China Automated Water Quality Monitoring Report. Combining grey prediction models with Markov chains outperforms traditional methods when it comes to predicting water pollution levels. The result contributes to advancing the field of water pollution forecasting by enhancing forecasting accuracy and providing informed decision support for environmental protection and management purposes.

Published: June 2024

Due to its high energy efficiency and low emission characteristics, fuel cells have received wide attention from all walks of life in the past two decades and have been developed rapidly. However, fuel cells are also facing some problems and challenges. This paper analyses and compares the performance, advantages and disadvantages of the major mainstream fuel cells, and puts forward the problems encountered in the current development by combining with their application examples. The results show that the cost of fuel cells is too high due to the limitations of electrodes and other key components, and some of the fuel cells have poor endurance, which is one of the major reasons hindering advancements in fuel cells, as the fuel cells are not able to achieve a balance between cost and performance. The practical application of fuel cells in various fields and the development status of fuel cells at home and abroad this year are introduced, and it is easy to see that in recent years, fuel cells have made breakthroughs to different degrees in different regions at different technical levels under the wide attention of all walks of life; fuel cell products are compared with traditional industries and the opportunities and challenges of the current development are put forward. However, despite the many advantages of fuel cells, there are still some challenges to their commercialisation, such as high cost, durability, storage and transportation of hydrogen. These problems are expected to be solved. It is crucial to research fuel cell development possibilities in order to advance the global energy transition, cut carbon emissions, and achieve sustainable development.

Analysing the Motivation and Effect of Cross-border Mergers and Acquisitions: A Case Study of the Acquisition of YOUJIUSHIDAI by SHANGHAI ACE CO., LTD.
Authors: Yu Yinhui
Published: June 2024

Under the background of globalisation and information technology revolution, cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have become a key strategy for corporate strategic transformation and market expansion. Taking the acquisition of YOUJIUSHIDAI by SACE as an example, this study adopts the methods of literature review, case study analysis and AMPS model to explore in depth the motives, effects and impacts of cross-border M&A on corporate performance. This study finds that although M&A enhances shareholder wealth in the short term, long-term profitability falls short of expectations, which is mainly limited by the lack of R&D capability and market alignment problems. This study emphasises the importance of synergies and points out that high-premium M&As may lead to goodwill impairment risk, thus affecting the financial status of the firms and the interests of shareholders, and puts forward suggestions to optimise M&A strategies and strengthen regulation, in order to protect the interests of small and medium-sized investors and to promote the healthy development of the capital market.
Digital Business Model Innovation: An External Enablement Perspective and Research Agenda
Authors: Fielt Erwin
Published: June 2024

With the growing prominence of digital technologies, the business model concept has become increasingly popular in the digital innovation domain. Research on how digital technologies enable business model innovation has so far mainly taken an inside-out perspective focussing on, for example, an organization's innovation process or dynamic capabilities. Conversely, we present a framework that takes an outside-in perspective focusing on how digital technologies as environmental changes enable business model innovation. This framework emphasizes external enablers, which represent aggregate-level phenomena from which multiple emerging ventures within the context of start-ups or established organizations can benefit. We highlight the path and functions of enablement by explaining how digital technologies as external enablers influence business model innovation through their types, characteristics, mechanisms and roles. Our integrative framework consolidates different but related research topics for digital business model innovation, thereby shaping a research agenda with key questions to advance the field. We also see this framework as contributing to a cumulative tradition, notably by bridging the gap between more generic digital business model research and research into new business models driven by specific digital technologies or innovations.

Published: June 2024

Introduction:

The relationship between surgeon volume and risk of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is debated. This study sought to characterize this association and assess patient outcomes using a nationwide patient and surgeon registry.

Methods:

The Premier Healthcare Database was queried for adult primary elective THA patients from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2019. Annual surgeon volume and 90-day risk of dislocation were modeled using multivariable logistic regression with restricted cubic splines. Bootstrap analysis identified a threshold annual case volume, corresponding to the maximum decrease in dislocation risk. Surgeons with an annual volume greater than the threshold were deemed high volume, and those with an annual volume less than the threshold were low volume. Each surgeon within a given year was treated as a unique entity (surgeon-year unit). 90-day complications of patients treated by high-volume and low-volume surgeons were compared.

Results:

From 2016 to 2019, 352,131 THAs were performed by 5,106 surgeons. The restricted cubic spline model demonstrated an inverse relationship between risk of dislocation and surgeon volume (threshold: 109 cases per year). A total of 9,967 (87.8%) low-volume surgeon-year units had individual dislocation rates lower than the average of the entire surgeon cohort. Patients treated by high-volume surgeons had decreased risk of dislocation (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.60; 95% CI, 0.54 to 0.67), periprosthetic fracture (aOR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.76 to 0.99), periprosthetic joint infection (aOR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.56 to 0.69), readmission (aOR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.67 to 0.73), and in-hospital death (aOR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.46 to 0.80).

Conclusion:

While most of the low-volume surgeons had dislocation rates lower than the cohort average, increasing annual surgeon case volume was associated with a reduction in risk of dislocation after primary elective THA.

Published: June 2024

The article discusses the composition and production technology of mineral powder using waste basalt insulation. This study aims to confirm the hypothesis about the possibility of using basalt waste in the production of mineral powder with technical parameters corresponding to approved standards for the production of asphalt concrete. For definition of qualitative indicators of the received product in comparison with the control sample the researches of the basic indicators of mineral powder according to operating norms are given. Such indicators as grain composition of mineral powder, porosity and density were determined, indicating a more dense structure of the developed composition: the content of particles finer than 0.125 mm – 91.4 %, finer than 0.063 mm – 82.2 % with porosity index 28.1 % and true density 2.49 g/cm3. It was found that the mineral powder from waste basalt mineral slabs has a uniform and balanced grain distribution. At moisture content of samples less than 0.1 % by weight the bitumen capacity index of the tested mineral powder sample in comparison with the control sample showed better value by 2 g, at the same time the degree of swelling of samples from the mixture of powder and bitumen showed better result by 0.1 %. The obtained results indicate that the mineral powder on the basis of waste is able to hold bitumen well on its surface, which contributes to the improvement of adhesion between bitumen and mineral particles. The lower degree of swelling characterizes the increased water resistance and frost resistance of asphalt concrete with the use of this mineral powder. Considering that basalt mineral slabs are waste, their use in the production of mineral powder for asphalt concrete fits into the concept of sustainable construction and can contribute to waste reduction and environmental sustainability of the construction process.
Factors Affecting the Prediction of Eating Behavior in Children: Stepwise Regression Analysis on Parental Feeding Styles
Authors: Arusoglu Gulcan , Yilmaz Sine , Can Basak
Published: June 2024

Introduction: In order to prevent obesity in adults, it is necessary to intervene in negative behaviors that develop in childhood. These negative behaviors include negative eating behaviors. The aim of our study is to investigate the relationship between parental feeding styles, which is one of the most important factors affecting children's feeding behavior.
Materials and Methods: In this research, which was planned as a descriptive study, the Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire and Parental Feeding Style Questionnaire scales were administered to the participants by the researchers.
Results: Research results showed that parental feeding styles, such as emotional feeding and incentive feeding, are one of the most important predictors of children's eating behaviors. In addition, the child's weight also affects sub-dimensions such as eating selectivity, slow eating, and enjoyment of eating.
Conclusion: The interaction between the child's weight and eating behavior is a vicious circle that is harder to break. However, if the parents' eating styles are changed in the right direction, the child's eating behavior can be improved and the child's weight can be managed. This is an important way to prevent childhood obesity. For this reason, parents and caregivers who are responsible for the child's nutrition need to acquire healthy eating behaviors and adapt these behaviors to their own lives.

Published: June 2024

A promoção pessoal é uma prática comum no ambiente político, especialmente no Poder Legislativo Estadual, onde os legisladores muitas vezes buscam aumentar sua visibilidade e popularidade por meio de ações que destacam suas próprias realizações. No entanto, quando essa promoção pessoal ocorre às custas dos recursos públicos ou do uso da máquina estatal, ela pode configurar um caso de improbidade administrativa. O presente artigo tem como analisar que a Lei de Improbidade Administrativa de 1992 não foi revogada, no entanto, devido à sua profunda reestruturação vários autores utilizam a expressão "Nova Lei de Improbidade Administrativa". Os objetivos específicos consistem em demonstrar a efetivação da lei de improbidade no combate aos atos contrários administração pública após a sua alteração; indicar quais situações que caracterizam improbidade administrativa; identificar quem são os sujeitos ativos e passivos no ato de improbidade administrativa. Em arremate, num cenário em que a sociedade toma ciência de numerosos escândalos envolvendo parlamentares em atos de corrupção, a ação de improbidade administrativa é importante ferramenta, que possibilita tutelar a moralidade e a impessoalidade na condução do processo legislativo.

The Constitutional Court was formed to maintain the integrity of the Constitution through a deeper interpretation based on the 1945 Constitution. This journal discusses the influence of CC Decision No. 90/PUU-XXI/2023 on the Authority and Dignity of the Constitutional Court as Guardian of the Constitution. The study combines a literature review methodology with a qualitative approach. The research results show that CC Decision No. 90/PUU-XXI/2023 is contrary to the Constitutional Court's authority based on the 1945 Constitution. The addition of new regulations that were previously unregulated or not is not outside the Constitutional Court's jurisdiction, but rather the legislative authority. Research examines the importance of maintaining judicial neutrality to prevent abuse of power. The Constitutional Court, as the Guardian of the Constitution, must pay attention to the rights of citizens and maintain the balance of power. With this controversial decision, in the context of the CC authority which should be limited to constitutional review and maintaining the neutral role of the judiciary in fighting abuse of power by the legislature and executive. Even though the Constitutional Court is the final decision maker on laws based on the 1945 Constitution, its authority is limited to reviewing laws and is not involved in the legislative realm.

В дооктябрьский период в Киргизии не существовало государственного органа, который занимался бы проблемами улучшения санитарного состояния населённых пунктов и повышения санитарной культуры населения, организацией борьбы с эпидемиями, имеющие тяжелые экономические и демографические последствия. Также крайне неудовлетворительными оставались условия труда и быта населения. Только после установления советской власти возникла и получила свое развитие санитарно-эпидемиологическая служба, как форма государственной медицинской деятельности, как система мер, направленных на предупреждение инфекционных заболеваний и улучшение санитарного состояния страны. Санитарно-гигиенический факультет Кыргызского Государственного Медицинского Института был организован в 1953 году, первый выпуск которого составил 77 выпускников. За прошедшие 70 лет на факультете подготовлено более 3000 квалифицированных специалистов, которые составляют основу общественного здравоохранения страны.

BACKGROUND

Kidney transplantation leads to continuous improvement in the survival rates of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) and has been established as the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage kidney disease. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has become an important outcome measure. It is highly important to develop reliable methods to evaluate HRQoL with disease-specific questionnaires.

AIM

To translate the disease-specific instrument Kidney Transplant Questionnaire 25 (KTQ-25) to the Greek language and perform a cross-cultural adaptation.

METHODS

The translation and adaptation of the original English version of the KTQ-25 to the Greek language were performed based on the International Quality of Life Assessment.

RESULTS

Eighty-four KTRs (59 males; mean age 53.5 ± 10.7 years; mean estimated glomerular filtration rate 47.7 ± 15.1 mL/min/1.73 m2; mean transplant vintage 100.5 ± 83.2 months) completed the Greek version of the KTQ-25 and the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey, and the results were used to evaluate the reliability of the Greek KTQ-25. The Cronbach alpha coefficients for all the KTQ-25 dimensions were satisfactory (physical symptoms = 0.639, fatigue = 0.856, uncertainty/fear = 0.661, appearance = 0.593, emotions = 0.718, total score = 0.708). The statistically significant correlation coefficients among the KTQ-25 dimensions ranged from 0.226 to 0.644. The correlation coefficients of the KTQ-25 dimensions with the SF-36 physical component summary (PCS) ranged from 0.196 to 0.550; the correlation coefficients of the KTQ-25 with the SF-36 mental component summary (MCS) ranged from 0.260 to 0.655; and the correlation coefficients of the KTQ-25 with the total scores with the SF-36 PCS and MCS were 0.455 and 0.613, respectively.

CONCLUSION

According to the findings, the Greek version of the KTQ-25 is valid and reliable for administration among kidney transplant patients in Greece.

Published: June 2024

Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the most important fruit crops in the world in terms of consumption and production. Commonly, bananas are propagated using conventional and in vitro techniques. Conventional methods generally involve vegetative propagation by the use of suckers, which is a time-consuming technique and is prone to various diseases. To overcome these problems, tissue culture technique has played a major role. With this technique, plant growth regulators are used to help improve rapid propagation for large-scale production. The plant growth regulators, benzyl adenine (BA) and thidiazuron (TDZ), which are both cytokinins, have gained attention for their effects on plant growth and development in tissue culture. In the present study, the effects of BA and TDZ on the shoot multiplication of Cavendish bananas in vitro were investigated. There were two experiments performed due to their being two types of explants obtained: one-month-old banana plantlets and one-month-old banana clumps. Culture I used one-month-old plantlets, and Culture II used one-month-old clumps. The results revealed that there was no significant difference in shoot formation between BA and TDZ at any concentration. However, the optimum concentration of BA was found to be 3 ppm for plantlets (Culture I), which resulted in 1.60 new shoots, and 4 ppm for clumps (Culture II) producing 4.00 shoots.  In the case of TDZ, 2 ppm which produced 2.60 shoots, was the optimum concentration for both types of explants. In addition, the study suggested that clumps were the most suitable choice for banana multiplication. Further investigation focusing on the effects of explant morphology and cutting technique on plant growth is recommended.

The administration of justice is one of the state's major tasks. According to Nepal's Constitution, the Judiciary is responsible for administering justice. The judiciary is a key institution supporting democracy and the rule of law. The Judiciary is responsible for upholding the rule of law by limiting the power of governmental organs to those granted by the Constitution and statutes. In a democratic state, the judiciary is the final resort for protecting people's rights. It promotes political stability and justice, resulting in a strong economy. The judiciary should be independent and responsible to the people and nation. Judicial independence indicates that it is apart from other governmental institutions, particularly the executive and legislative branches. It must be devoid of power, pressure, and other unnecessary elements. Judicial independence refers to the principle that the judiciary's decisions should be free of interference from private or political interests. Judicial independence refers to a judge's capacity to make decisions without being influenced by other factors. Nepal's Constitution designates the judiciary as the guardian of fundamental rights and the Constitution itself. The constitution's preamble emphasizes the importance of an independent judiciary, the rule of law, democratic ideals, and structural and functional independence. The constitution includes crucial measures that support an independent and accountable judiciary. This study has given emphasis on secondary sources of information relating to the concept of independent judiciary and its status in context of Nepal. This paper explores the topic of judicial independence in Nepal. This study incorporates a judicial perspective to the idea of judicial independence. It has also incorporated constitutional and legislative provisions regarding judicial independence.
The modularty of agreement variation
Authors: Ormazabal Javier , Romero Juan
Published: June 2024

In this article, following Ormazabal & Romero (2022) insights, a modular approach to agreement variation is proposed where syntactic relations are uniform, dialectal variation is determined in morphology, and extragrammatical modules deal with sociolinguistic variation. While dialectal variation is systematic, dependent on hierarchical relations, and occurs within linguistic communities; sociolinguistic agreement variation is arbitrary, linearly determined, and subject to socioeconomic and educational pressures.
