The Notice on Issuing the 14th Five Year Plan for Employment Promotion, publicly released by the State Council on August 23, 2021, emphasizes the importance of promoting high-quality employment. To promote high-quality and full employment, the first step is to ensure the source of high-quality job seekers. As highly educated and qualified talents recognized by society, master' s students are a vital force in stimulating the prosperity of the job market. Accurately evaluating their training quality is of great significance for achieving high-quality employment. This study integrates theory and practice, and uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process, constructs a hierarchical matrix based on practical needs and past research, determines indicator weights through expert scoring, and forms a complete weighted evaluation index system for graduate education quality that distinguishes between academic and professional master' s degrees. And applying this indicator to practice, taking the School of Public Administration at C University as an example to evaluate the quality of graduate training, it was found that the overall quality of graduate training for the School of Public Administration at C University is relatively good, but the participation in academic conferences is low, and the overall quality of graduate training for professional master' s students is relatively low. Based on the evaluation results, suggestions have been put forward for the improvement and development of graduate education in the School of Public Administration at C University, including improving the quality of career development training, enhancing the quality of academic training, strengthening project participation, and improving awards and timely graduation rates.
A Preliminary Study on the Development Issues and Governance Strategies of China􀆳s Photovoltaic Industry in the Post Subsidy Period from the Perspective of Game Theory
Authors:   China Green Development Investment Group Co, YAN Xiangzhou
Published: February 2025

The photovoltaic industry is a typical representative of the new energy industry and an important component of China' s strategic emerging industries, as well as an important guarantee for promoting green and low-carbon development in our country. Although China' s photovoltaic industry started relatively late, over the past decade, driven by the national photovoltaic subsidy policy, the industry has witnessed rapid growth and China has now emerged as the world' s largest country in terms of photovoltaic installed capacity. Nevertheless, during the industrial development process, a series of issues have arisen, such as blind project expansion, excessive reliance on financial subsidies, excessive financial pressure and a lack of technological innovation. To promote the healthy and sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry and alleviate the pressure on financial funds, the government has gradually facilitated the reduction of subsidies and completely eliminated subsidies for photovoltaic power generation projects in 2022. With the proposition and in-depth implementation of China' s “carbon peak and carbon neutrality” strategic goals, the photovoltaic industry, as a representative of low-carbon and clean energy, has been entrusted with a new mission. In light of this, based on the perspective of game theory, by analyzing the evolution of China' s photovoltaic industry subsidy policy and the corresponding changes in the photovoltaic industry' s development, combined with interviews with practitioners, this paper identifies and diagnoses the constraints facing the development of China' s photovoltaic industry in the post-subsidy era and puts forward specific governance countermeasures and suggestions from the aspects of government governance, industrial coordination and the public.

Published: February 2025

As a key region in the western region and an important source of China' s industrial foundation, analyzing the driving factors of industrial carbon emissions and predicting carbon peak in Xi' an is crucial for China' s sustainable development. . This study employed the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method to decompose the influencing factors of industrial carbon emissions in Xi’an. Then, the ridge regression method and the Stochastic Impacts by Regression on STIRPAT model was used to analyze the quantitative impact of four driving factors on industrial carbon emissions. Finally, scenario analysis was adopted to predict the carbon emissions and carbon peaking time of Xi' an' s industrial sector under three different development scenarios in the next 15 years. The study found that:

(1) From 2013 to 2022, the total industrial carbon emissions in Xi' an exhibited aa negative growth. energy intensity and energy structure exhibited significant negative effects, with contribution rates of 376. 92% and 210. 95%, respectively. In contrast, economic development and population size factors played a positive effects on carbon emission increments, with contribution rates of-288. 64% and-199. 24% respectively.

(2) From 2023 to 2040, the predicted total industrial carbon emissions in Xi' an primarily showed a trend of first rising and then declining, which primarily influenced by population size, with an elasticity factor of 1. 735.

(3) Both low-carbon and benchmark development scenarios could help Xi' an' s industrial sector achieve its carbon peaking target earlier, but a high-carbon model would struggle to reach carbon peaking even by 2040. The baseline scenario represented the optimal development model for Xi' an, with carbon peaking projected to occur in 2028, reaching a peak of 49. 4189 million tons.

This study provided a theoretical basis for developing a reasonable carbon peaking pathway for Xi' an' s industrial sector and assisted the government in formulating corresponding high-quality development paths.

Published: February 2025

In July 2021, the Ministry of Education issued the “Opinions on Further Reducing the Burden of Homework and Off-Campus Training for Compulsory Education Students” (referred to as the “Double Reduction”) . The “Double Reduction” policy pointed out that it is necessary to focus on improving students' after-school service levels and providing them with diversified learning content. However, the current content and form. of after-school services are relatively dull, and the developmental needs of students are not being well met. Therefore, this article, based on the actual situation of after-school services in primary schools, combined with theoretical knowledge of education and teaching, and based on literature research, classroom observation, and teaching practice, proposes four basic principles and a framework for the integration of art and English in the development and design of after-school service teaching. Among them, the four basic principles that should be followed in the design of integrated teaching development in afterschool services include: Clear educational goals should be set around the improvement of core literacy; The teaching content should be multi-level and based on the students' reality; Optimize the design of teaching process and emphasize students' autonomy; Establish diverse evaluation methods and attach importance to students’ development. At the same time, based on the actual situation of students, the art and English integrated teaching framework, which focuses on primary school art and English teaching content, includes three aspects: curriculum system, unit design, and classroom teaching. Through the proposal of teaching design cases, it is hoped to provide some reference for the development and design of integrated teaching in actual after-school services.

Authors: Bhut Darshita Vijaybhai , Khasatiya Chandubhai Talshibhai , Singh Virendra Kumar
Published: February 2025

The study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant action of caffeine at various concentrations in TEYC extenders.  In the present study, a total 64 ejaculates (16/buck) were collected from all four Surti bucks (age>12 months) i.e. two  collections/week for 8 weeks. Ejaculates at each collection were pooled and divided into four groups viz. C1 (Control),  C2, C3 and C4 having caffeine concentrations @ 0, 1, 3 and 5mM in TEYC extender, respectively with 100x106 sperm/ 

Oxidative stress marker for lipid peroxidation (Malondialdehyde, MDA) and antioxidant (Glutathione, GSH) were  determined at initial, pre-freeze and post-thaw; whereas, motility degeneration rate (MDR) of sperms was evaluated  at pre-freeze and post-thaw. A decrease in GSH and an increase in MDA levels with elapse of time were found to be  significant (p<0.01) between different phases. The MDA levels were observed to be significantly (p<0.01) different  between groups that were highest in C1 and lowest in C4 in contrast to GSH levels that were highest in C4 and lowest in  C1 groups. MDR was significantly (p<0.01) higher at post-thaw than pre-freeze in all the groups. Moreover, MDR was  significantly (p<0.01) lower in C2 group as compared with other groups at both the pre-freeze and post-thaw stage. It was  therefore concluded that for cryopreservation of Surti buck semen, supplementation of caffeine in TEYC extender has  dose-dependent increase in antioxidant defense and decrease in oxidative stress as indicated by higher GSH and lower  lipid peroxidation, respectively but 1mM caffeine concentration in TEYC is optimum and better owing to the lowest  MDR.

The present study was conducted to record the transitional period reproductive disorders in crossbred cows. A total of two hundred seventy eight (N=278) crossbred cows with different parities were studied to record the incidence of reproductive disorders viz., dystocia, metritis, genital prolapse and retained fetal membranes. Overall incidence of transitional period reproductive disorder recorded in current study was 34.9% with highest incidence in dystocia (16.7%) followed by metritis (11.7%), genital prolapse (3.7%) and retained fetal membrane (2.7%), respectively. Adult animals (<7 yrs, 65.9%) were more susceptible for reproductive disorders than older cows (> 7yrs, 34.1%; P<0.05). Majority (93.8%) of the affected animals had prolonged postpartum anoestrus and lower conception rates. In conclusion, one-third of the crossbred cows are affected with transitional period reproductive disorders. Therefore, there is a dire need to prevent reproductive disorders through appropriate management of cows.

Published: February 2025

The present study was conducted on cross bred cows (n=30) having completed 60 days postpartum to assess the efficacy of different treatments in subclinical endometritis in crossbred dairy cows. A total of 20 animals that tested positive for subclinical endometritis (SCE) on endometrial cytology and white side test were sub divided into three treatment groups corresponding to Group I-III. The Group IV consisting of 10 healthy animals without any uterine infection served as control in which AI was performed on day of estrus. In Group I, single intrauterine dose of cephapirin benzathine (500mg), Group II Levofloxacin @ 4-5 mg/kg bw i.m. and Group III Lugol’s Iodine (0.5%) @ 30ml I/U for 3 consecutive days were given, respectively. In first three groups, WST was conducted on subsequent estrus and animals testing negative were subjected to AI. Treatment efficiency was evaluated on the basis of first service conception rate. In Group I, Group II, Group III and Group IV first service conception rate was 50%, 40%, 33.33% and 60% respectively. FSCR was non significantly (P>0.05) higher in animals treated with cephapirin benzathine compared to other treatment groups. It was concluded that cephapirin benzathine is the most suitable treatment of SCE but Lugol’s Iodine can be recommended for treatment of SCE and improving conception rate.

Published: February 2025

Establishing dependable indicators for neonatal survival is essential in canine practice. Historically, amniotic fluid has  not received attention as a diagnostic tool in dogs. This study analyzed amniotic fluid obtained at whelping from 36  dogs that underwent elective caesarean section (CS) at term to evaluate its potential as a predictor of neonatal survival.  Glucose and cortisol concentrations in amniotic fluid were measured at birth in 72 puppies delivered by elective CS.  These biochemical parameters were subsequently analyzed to relate puppy survival at birth and neonatal viability, as  assessed by APGAR scoring, and to neonatal mortality. The results revealed that stillborn puppies exhibited significantly  higher (p<0.001) cortisol and lower (P<0.001) glucose concentrations compared to puppies that survived beyond 48  h post-birth. Although no significant differences in amniotic glucose and cortisol levels were observed across varying  APGAR scores, a linear positive trend was noticed between amniotic glucose levels and APGAR scores while the rela tion between amniotic cortisol and APGAR score was linear and negative. From a clinical perspective, the assessment of  amniotic cortisol and glucose concentrations immediately following delivery might serve as a valuable tool for identifying neonates that require intensified monitoring during the first 48 h of life.

Published: February 2025

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of glutamine on the motility parameters after thawing of  epididymal semen of Barb stallions. Semen samples were collected from 22 testicles of slaughtered Barb stallions by  retrograde flushing technique. Semen samples were aliquoted and diluted with the following extenders, (1) base medium  (BM) (INRA96®+2.5%glycerol+2% egg yolk); (2) BM+25mM Glutamine (C25); (3) BM+50mM Glutamine (C50); (4)  BM+75mM Glutamine (C75) and (5) BM+100mM Glutamine (C100). The assessment of Kinematic parameters was  established after thawing by using SPA® spain CASA (Computer Automated Sperm Analyzer); and the plasma membrane  functional integrity was analyzed by HOST test. At low concentrations, the presence of glutamine (C25 and C50) improved  significantly (p<0.05) the kinematics variables (VSL, VAP, LIN and STR). However, higher concentrations of glutamine  (C75 and especially C100) significantly decreased the movement of thawed semen. In conclusion, these observations are  showing a beneficial effect of glutamine on sperm kinematics at low concentrations and indicated a toxic effect at high  concentrations, although, no differences were observed in terms of HOST integrity.

Reconnaissance sociale de la profession enseignante et identité professionnelle
Authors:   , L'Eplattenier Elena
Published: February 2025

Au coeur des enjeux sociétaux actuels se trouve la question de la reconnaissance sociale des enseignants et son impact sur leur identité professionnelle. Alors que la profession enseignante revêt une importance capitale dans la transmission des connaissances et le développement des individus, elle est confrontée à des défis grandissants et à une évolution complexe. Ce travail explore comment le manque de reconnaissance sociale, amplifié par des attentes sociales souvent irréalistes et des médias représentant la profession de manière négative, influence le bien-être, la satisfaction professionnelle et le sentiment d’efficacité des enseignants. Dans ce contexte, une attention particulière est accordée à la Suisse, à la France et au Canada (Québec). À travers une analyse approfondie, ce travail met en lumière l'urgence de reconnaître pleinement la valeur du travail des enseignants et propose des pistes de réflexion pour renforcer leur statut professionnel et leur épanouissement au sein de la société.

Ce travail s'intéresse à l'attestation fédérale de formation professionnelle (AFP) crée en 2004. Le domaine de recherche est spécifique au commerce de détail et aux apports ce cette nouvelle formation, tant pour les apprentis que pour les entreprises. L'AFP est une solution d'intégration pour les apprentis aux capacités principalement pratiques. Elle leur permet d'acquérir une formation du degré secondaire II et constitue ainsi une passerelle vers le certificat fédéral de capacité (CFC). Elle permet aux entreprises d'engager des apprentis qui n'auraient pas pu réaliser la formation en CFC, leur offrant cependant une certification reconnue nationalement, tout en ayant un rapport cout/bénéfice positif. Les apprentis et les entreprises sont satisfaits de cette formation et l'adéquation entre le nombre de places sur le marché et le nombre de jeunes disposé à les occuper est en augmentation depuis sa création. La perméabilité entre les deux formations est une réalité pour 31% des apprentis dans les deux ans après l'obtention de l'AFP. Cependant seul 5% des apprentis débutent directement une AFP, la plupart tentent plusieurs autres expériences en acquérant une maturité et une expérience qu'un élève de 14-15 ans sortant de l'école obligatoire ne peut concurrencer.
A REFORMA DO ENSINO MÉDIO NO BRASIL: UMA ANÁLISE CRÍTICA DAS DISPUTAS POLÍTICAS E DISCURSOS À LUZ DO CICLO DE POLÍTICAS DE BALL E BOWE
Authors: Barcelos Andréa Alves Virgínio , Faleiros Thaísa Haber
Published: February 2025

Este artigo é fruto de uma pesquisa realizada no âmbito do Programa de Pós-graduação Stricto Sensu em Educação da Universidade de Uberaba (UNIUBE), com financiamento do Projeto Trilhas de Futuro Educadores da Secretaria de Estado de Educação de Minas Gerais, tendo como objeto de pesquisa a política de reforma do Ensino Médio no Brasil, especificamente a implementada pela Lei nº 13.415 de 2017 e seus corolários. A  principal questão  é saber se os paradigmas e discursos que nortearam a trajetória da reforma, ao promoverem a flexibilização do currículo, estavam mais alinhados à influências políticas de caráter elitista ou se, de fato, a reforma representou, conforme suas próprias assertivas, uma forma atrativa para os estudantes, de acordo com seus projetos de vida, e suas respectivas culturas, respeitando assim o direito de todos os jovens a uma formação escolar de qualidade (sobretudo para os oriundos da classe trabalhadora). Portanto, o objetivo geral é apresentar e analisar o percurso de elaboração e implementação da Reforma do Ensino Médio brasileiro, desde a edição da Medida Provisória nº 746/2016, posteriormente convertida na Lei nº 13.415/2017, até a aprovação do PL n. 5.230/2023, no intuito de identificar as forças em disputa nessa política pública. A pesquisa tem abordagem qualitativa, de natureza aplicada, com finalidade explicativa, a partir de uma análise documental-bibliográfica permitindo embasar teoricamente o estudo, fornecendo aporte conceitual e permitindo a identificação de lacunas e tendências na literatura existente. A abordagem teórico-metodológica se fundamenta no ciclo de políticas de Ball e Bowe (1992, 2011) a partir de Mainardes (2006) e foi pensada de acordo com a Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica de Dermeval Saviani (2013; 2021a; 2021b).

This study analyzes the factors that influence the effectiveness of supervision of the Inspectorate of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Supervision plays an important role in ensuring efficient and effective governance and preventing deviations. This study uses a qualitative approach with interview methods and documentation analysis. The results of the study indicate that limited human resources, budget, and minimal adoption of information technology are the main obstacles. These limitations cause the supervision process to be often late and have an impact on the decline in the quality of audit results. This study concludes that to improve the effectiveness of supervision, strategic steps are needed, such as increasing the number of qualified supervisors, increasing budget allocations, and developing a technology-based supervision information system.

Abstract. Quantifying the degree of coupling between marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds and the surface is critical for understanding the evolution of low clouds and explaining the vertical distribution of aerosols and microphysical cloud properties. Previous work has characterized the boundary layer as either coupled or decoupled, but this study rather considers four degrees of coupling, ranging from strongly to weakly coupled. We use aircraft data from the NASA Aerosol Cloud meTeorology Interactions oVer the western ATlantic Experiment (ACTIVATE) to assess aerosol and cloud characteristics for the following four regimes, quantified using differences in liquid water potential temperature (θℓ) and total water mixing ratio (qt) between flight data near the surface level (∼150 m) and directly below cloud bases: strong coupling (Δθℓ≤1.0 K, Δqt≤0.8 g kg−1), moderate coupling with high Δθℓ (Δθℓ>1.0 K, Δqt≤0.8 g kg−1), moderate coupling with high Δqt (Δθℓ≤1.0 K, Δqt>0.8 g kg−1), and weak coupling (Δθℓ>1.0 K, Δqt>0.8 g kg−1). Results show that (i) turbulence is greater in the strong coupling regime compared to the weak coupling regime, with the former corresponding to more vertical homogeneity in 550 nm aerosol scattering, integrated aerosol volume concentration, and giant aerosol number concentration (Dp>3 µm) coincident with increased MBL mixing; (ii) cloud drop number concentration is greater during periods of strong coupling due to the greater upward vertical velocity and subsequent activation of particles; and (iii) sea salt tracer species (Na+, Cl−, Mg2+, K+) are present in greater concentrations in the strong coupling regime compared to weak coupling, while tracers of continental pollution (Ca2+, non-sea-salt (nss) SO42-, NO3-, oxalate, and NH4+) are higher in mass fraction for the weak coupling regime. Additionally, pH and Cl-:Na+ (a marker for chloride depletion) are consistently lower in the weak coupling regime. There were also differences between the two moderate regimes: the moderate with high Δqt regime had greater turbulent mixing and sea salt concentrations in cloud water, along with smaller differences in integrated volume and giant aerosol number concentration across the two vertical levels compared. This work shows value in defining multiple coupling regimes (rather than the traditional coupled versus decoupled) and demonstrates differences in aerosol and cloud behavior in the MBL for the various regimes.

Abstract. The scientific and societal importance of short-term changes in the thermosphere–ionosphere (T–I) system highlights a need to better understand short-term changes in the thermosphere. For collision avoidance, this need becomes increasingly important as the number of low-earth-orbiting satellites increases because geomagnetic activity can cause dramatic, unexpected increases in satellite drag. The thermospheric density changes responsible for changes in drag depend primarily on changes in the thermospheric temperature. However, for collision avoidance, the specification of drag could also be problematic during quiet periods when the number of satellites and the uncertainties in their orbits are large. While temperatures and densities at higher altitudes (≳250 km) have been extensively studied and modeled, there is a knowledge gap for densities at lower-middle-thermosphere altitudes (≲200 km). At these lower altitudes, the primary sources of thermospheric density data, in situ and drag data from satellites, are rarely available. Remote sensing of temperatures and composition by NASA's Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission can help fill this gap. The GOLD mission produces disk images of neutral temperature, a key parameter for understanding neutral density in the lower-middle thermosphere. However, while disk images of the temperature have been available since the launch of GOLD, recent improvements to its observational capability that are relevant to data interpretation may not be widely known. Also, other temperature retrieval techniques than GOLD's have been published. Comparisons indicate that GOLD's technique gives the most consistent results and yields the lowest uncertainties. This paper discusses both temperature retrieval techniques and issues in interpreting GOLD's images of temperatures.
