Published: September 2024

Environmental awareness, particularly on reefs and their threats in Malaysia, is generally low. This comes as long-term reef health monitoring by Reef Check in Malaysia reveals a trend of declining reef health across all surveyed sites. Reef conservation education needs to be intensified. Gamification can be a powerful tool to enhance marine education and public awareness by making learning about marine topics engaging, interactive, and enjoyable. This study examined the educational value of a marine-themed card game, Reef Stakes®, by measuring the environmental attitudes and coral reef knowledge of players before and after playing the game. Two groups of 35 university students of varied disciplines and 26 non-university participants were recruited. A significant increase in knowledge of the coral reefs after the game, for the non-student group, suggests that there is a positive effect of the Reef Stakes® card game. Findings will inform the potential widespread use of gamification in reef conservation outreach and education.
Modelling hydraulic plasticity of mangroves
Authors: Peters Ronny , Wimmler Marie-Christin , Berger Uta
Published: September 2024

The hydraulic architecture of plants responds to their water availability, mediating between promoting water flow and providing hydraulic safety against embolism. Sites with a constant supply of water favor plants with large vessel diameters, while in dry conditions, narrower vessels are more advantageous. The characteristics of the vessels are primarily shaped by the species’ adaptation to its preferred habitat. However, physiological plasticity enables individual plants to undergo further adaptations to suit specific sites. Mangroves are constantly exposed to low water potentials and therefore hydraulic properties play a pivotal role. Reevaluating studies on vessel diameter distributions and xylem conductivities, we propose a two-parameter gamma distribution description of the hydraulic system. The shape parameter characterizes the species-specific component, and the rate parameter specifies the particular adaptation of the plant to the site salinity. Based on the Hagen–Poiseuille law, we can estimate the xylem conductivity of the plant. Applying this approach to the established single tree model BETTINA, we show the potential plant damage due to salinity shocks for stylized species with different hydraulic properties. Model results suggest that plants with a vessel diameter distribution similar to Rhizophora spp. have an advantage and grow faster under constant salinity conditions due to higher hydraulic conductivities compared to Avicennia-like diameter distributions. This comes at the cost of a higher hydraulic vulnerability to salinity changes of Rhizophora. This approach provides a mechanistic link between site conditions and the hydraulic properties of plants in terms of their ability to physiologically adjust to the site.

Published: September 2024

Bronchoscopy is an invasive examination method, and the anesthesia method of early examination is mainly local anesthesia. However, due to the long operation time of more diagnosis and treatment items, large damage stimulation to patients, and high risk factors, simple local anesthesia can no longer meet the demand. With the popularization of the concept of comfortable medical treatment, the demand for painless bronchoscopy technology is increasing. In the process of examination, the basic situation of patients, economic burden and the shortage of anesthesiologists in the country should be comprehensively considered, and individualized anesthesia plans should be formulated for patients. Select appropriate anesthesia methods such as local anesthesia, sedative anesthesia and general anesthesia to provide clinical reference for reducing patients' anxiety in the process of bronchoscopy operation and improving patient tolerance and comfort.

The Role of Intergenerational Differences in Influencing Perceptions of Salary and Benefits: A Review Study
Authors: Malik Mohd Huzaini Abdul , Musah Adiza Alhassan
Published: September 2024

There are at least four generations represented in the modern labor force, each with their own perspectives on work values. The impact of Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z on the workplace has been significant, posing challenges for organizations in developing a competitive compensation strategy that caters to each generation. The objective of this research review is to examine generational characteristics, conduct a thorough analysis of cross-generational perspectives and preferences, explore influences on compensation and benefits trends, and address the challenges of managing different generations, along with potential solutions. The underlying assumption is that there are shared similarities or differences in these determinants across generations. We conducted a comprehensive review of recent literature on generational cohorts and compensation and benefits to summarize findings from the past five years. This review will also serve as a foundation for future longitudinal research, aiming to uncover the latest insights into trends among organizational cohorts and other related factors, particularly in the realm of compensation and benefits, and how they intersect with other organizational contexts, potentially influenced by socioeconomic events. Researchers suggest that qualitative research or mixed methods, with their more robust methodologies and theoretical study objectives, are the most appropriate approaches to explore generation as an influencing variable in research.

Introduction: Spontaneous regression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an enigma as it is a very rare phenomenon, multiple possible hypotheses were described to support this enigma.

Case Report: A 61-year-old man known Type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension was evaluated for complaints of unexplained weight loss (40 kg loss in eight months), loss of appetite, along with generalized weakness of three months duration. He underwent computed tomography (CT) scan abdomen that showed arterial phase hyper-enhancing lesion (white short arrow) in left lobe/segment V of liver with washout. His alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was 12263 IU. He was advised transarterial radioembolization (TARE) and systemic therapy. He did not undergo any treatment due to logistical issues. After three months he underwent a repeat CT scan, which showed decrease in the size of the heterogeneously hypodense space-occupying lesion (SOL) with wall irregularity involving liver segments II, III, IV, and V. His AFP level had fallen to 600 IU. He underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy, intraoperative ultrasound scan, frozen section (a rapid intraoperative histopathological diagnosis) proceeds left hepatectomy (including distal middle hepatic vein) and excision of 2 lesions in the caudate lobe and cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. The left hepatectomy specimen showed a scanty viable tumor (~5%) consistent with moderately differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma and with secondary changes (~95%), including extensive necrosis, xanthogranulomatous inflammation, and hemorrhage. He was followed up for three years with serial CT scan and was found to be disease free with 3 years AFP value of 1.32 IU.

Conclusion: We conclude that partial spontaneous resolution of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is rare but a possible phenomenon with multiple mechanisms explaining the enigma and it presents an opportunity for further research. The collection and thorough analysis of clinical data obtained from patients who have experienced spontaneous resolution of HCC will help understand this mysterious phenomenon. It could also lead to the development of new treatment strategies for HCC based on the possible hypothesis.

An Analysis of Human-AI Interaction
Authors: Banerjee Sandip , Mittal Anant
Published: September 2024

The pervasive integration of AI technologies, such as ChatGPT, into various sectors of daily life has necessitated a shift in AI research. While initial studies primarily concentrated on technological advancements, the current focus has transitioned towards a human-centric approach in understanding AI. This special issue aims to expand the body of knowledge on human-AI interaction, addressing the challenges presented by AI's increasingly human-like capabilities and the diminishing distinction between individuals and technology. The issue introduces a comprehensive framework for human-AI interaction, conceptualizing AI as an agent for human users. Two critical types of compatibility are identified: human-AI fit and task-AI fit. Additionally, the framework considers varying degrees of AI agency, resulting in a human-AI collaboration continuum. This conceptualization leads to a research framework that examines AI characteristics, behaviours, and outcomes, moderated by user and task characteristics.
The Factors of King Abdulaziz's Success in Achieving Comprehensive Development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia An Analytical Historical Study
Authors: A.AL-sheeha Dr. Mohammed
Published: September 2024

Before the reign of King Abdulaziz, Saudi society was a fragmented society, with conflicts over water resources and grazing areas. King Abdulaziz was able to overcome these challenges and unite the country. The establishment of the state, the formation of the political system, and the stability of the political situation in the country were a key political factor that contributed to the success of King Abdulaziz in achieving comprehensive development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Other factors contributing to this success included his unique personality, incisive intellect, and successful administration that was based on planning and development. Additionally, his efforts to settle the Bedouins, who represented the majority of Saudi Arabia's population during his reign, also contributed to that success; their concepts changed, their awareness increased, and they practiced agriculture, herding, and trade. The focus on public and higher education, along with scholarship abroad, further contributed to that success. Thus, these factors collectively led to the success of King Abdulaziz in achieving comprehensive development in Saudi society, and his sons followed in his footsteps after him until this day.

Application of Educational Strategies in Studying the Dynamics of State Power Structures: Implementation of Formal and Informal Mechanisms of Influence
Authors: Denchev Stoyan , Pavlova Miriyana , Yordanova Steliana
Published: September 2024

The specific force characteristics of state power structures play a major role when shaping the political and economic dynamics. They influence the processes of decision-making and they definitively define the distribution of public resources in each and every country or a group of formally united states. In this article, we will try to analyze how and in what way should be applied educational strategies for studying the complex interplay between the dynamic characteristics of the force structures of power, paying special attention to their formal and informal mechanisms of influence from different perspectives. Through analysis and subsequent synthesis of known theoretical frameworks, and based on empirical research, we will define a complex understanding of how power manifests itself both on the basis of formal organizational hierarchies and through contemporary informal social networks. The suggested research framework is based on the methodology of change, which is “enlightened” through the so-called architectural approach. This approach is applied inclusively in the complex and intricate dynamics of educational strategies, promoting its more equitable distribution of the power functions in the hierarchies of society as a whole and defining wider frameworks for coercive influence, through modern information and communication technologies.

Salinity is a process that directly interferes with soil and water quality, compromising agricultural crops. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of biostimulant application in mitigating the toxic effects of experimental salt concentrations on watermelon seedlings. Seedling production was carried out using seeds of the watermelon cultivar ‘Crimson sweet’, and the tested treatments were distributed in a 3x2 factorial arrangement. The first factor consisted of three levels of soil salinity with electrical conductivities: 0.6; 2.6; 4.6 dS m-1. The second factor consisted of the presence or absence of biostimulant application. Sowing was carried out in polypropylene containers with a capacity of 300 dm3. Two seeds were sown, and the plants were thinned to one plant per container five days after emergence. Foliar applications of the biostimulant were carried out 7 and 14 days after emergence at a level of 300 mL ha-1. The experimental design was randomized blocks (RBD) with four replications. Watermelon seedlings exposed to salinities ranging from 0.6 to 4.6 dS m-1 showed limited growth and development, evidencing the toxic and harmful effects of salinity on the plants tested during the seedling stage. The biostimulant at the recommended level of 300 mL ha-1 did not show results that could verify the mitigation of substrate salinity or increased growth and development of watermelon seedlings.

Analysis of the Mechanisms Behind the "China Money Mystery"
Authors: Cheng Jun , Miao Guangyi , Kang Jing
Published: September 2024

The growth rate of China's broad money supply (M2) significantly exceeds the combined rates of economic growth and inflation, leading to a continuous rise in the ratio of M2 to GDP. This phenomenon is referred to as the "China Money Mystery." The explanation for this phenomenon involves several factors. Firstly, interest rate and exchange rate controls in the financial market lead to excessive increases in money demand. Secondly, financial repression results in excessive use of indirect financing and a lack of investment channels, further distorting money supply. Thirdly, the financial hoarding theory suggests that a large amount of money flows in the virtual economy rather than being invested in the real economy, thus failing to induce noticeable inflation. Finally, the applicability of traditional quantity theory of money in the modern credit money system is gradually diminishing, failing to explain the relationship between money supply and prices. By integrating these factors, a better understanding of the abnormal monetary supply phenomenon in China and its implications can be achieved.

Published: September 2024

This paper discusses the core ideas, development course and influence of Chinese religious philosophy and its influence on modern society. The paper first summarizes the important position of religious philosophy in Eastern and Western cultures, and then makes a detailed analysis of the core elements of Chinese religious philosophy and American religious philosophy respectively. In the part of Chinese religious philosophy, this article discusses the ideological system and ethical concepts of major sects such as Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and analyzes the influence of these philosophical thoughts in Chinese history and social politics. In the section of American religious philosophy, the article introduces the teachings and practice of major denominations such as Christianity and Catholicism, and explores their role in American social politics and culture. Through their comparative analysis, this paper reveals the similarities and differences between Chinese religious philosophy and American religious philosophy in terms of ideological system, values and practice methods. Chinese religious philosophy emphasizes the harmony of man and nature, personal morality and social responsibility, while American religious philosophy pays more attention to the doctrines of personal freedom of belief and redemption, and the direct connection between individual and God. These similarities and differences not only reflect the deep differences between Eastern and Western cultures, but also provide an important perspective for understanding the values and behavior patterns of the two societies. Finally, this paper summarizes the roles and challenges of religious philosophy in modern society, such as promoting cultural exchanges and promoting social harmony. At the same time, the paper also discusses the possibility of the dialogue and integration of Eastern and Western religious philosophies, and puts forward the importance of promoting the exchange and mutual learning of different religious philosophies in the context of globalization. Through dialogue and integration, eastern and Western religious philosophies can learn from each other and develop together, and contribute wisdom and strength to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Research on High-Quality Integration of the Economy of Digit and Green Economy
Authors: Shi Xueyu
Published: September 2024

With the continuous advancement of technology in China, the industrial landscape has been transformed by the economy of digit, which simultaneously provides sustained momentum for global economic growth. From the initial stages of cloud computing to big data technology, as well as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, these technologies have accelerated the transformation of the economic society. However, due to various objective factors, global environmental issues have become increasingly severe, with climate change, resource depletion, and environmental problems sounding alarms for humanity. Economic development and environmental protection should complement each other rather than oppose one another. Therefore, under such circumstances, relevant stakeholders should explore the convergence points between the green economy and the economy of digit, strategically combining them to fully leverage the advantages of digital technologies, harness the potential value of resources, and reduce environmental pollution. Hence, in the future development process, while improving economic efficiency, green concepts should also be integrated to ultimately achieve a win-win situation.
Research on the Impact of Tax Burden on Entrepreneurial Household Consumption
Authors: Feng Qiyun
Published: September 2024

This study delves into the impact of tax burden on the consumption behavior of entrepreneurial households, revealing that as the tax burden increases, the disposable income of these households decreases, leading to more cautious consumption behaviors. These households tend to prefer saving over spending, which impacts their quality of life and consumption structure. The study indicates that household consumption patterns vary significantly at different levels of tax burden. High-tax households are more likely to cut non-essential spending, whereas low-tax households maintain higher consumption vitality. Additionally, the uncertainty of tax policies and regional differences influence the consumption decisions of entrepreneurial households. The article suggests measures such as implementing tax reductions, offering specific tax incentives for entrepreneurial households, and improving the transparency and stability of tax policies to alleviate the economic pressures on these households, enhance consumer confidence, and promote healthy economic development.

With China's ongoing economic and social development, the high-quality advancement of rural industries has become integral to national strategy. The 2023 Central Document outlines guidelines focusing on expanding agricultural processing, enhancing rural services, nurturing new industries, and bolstering county economies. Embracing the digital economy is pivotal, as highlighted in the 20th National Congress report, aiming to integrate it with the real economy to enhance industrial efficiency through modern digital clusters. However, challenges hinder this transition. Insufficient extension of rural industrial chains limits the application of digital technologies, while weak infrastructure and a lack of digital talents further constrain rural digital empowerment. To address these issues, pathways are proposed: enhancing digital service supply, establishing a robust digital talent cultivation system, strengthening legal frameworks, improving information statistics, and optimizing the ecological system for digital empowerment. These pathways aim to support the digital transformation of agriculture, promoting its high-quality development amidst contemporary challenges. Achieving this requires concerted efforts from government, enterprises, and rural residents alike to harness the full potential of the digital economy in fostering sustainable rural growth.

The Current Situation and Policy Recommendations on The Influence of Air Pollution on the Health and Labor Supply of the Rural Mid-Aged and Elderly
Authors: Huang Qiaolong
Published: September 2024

Since the reform and opening up, China's industrialization and urbanization processes have accelerated. Blindly pursuing high-speed economic growth has led to a sharp deterioration of air quality, and rural areas have become "shelters" for high polluting and high energy consuming enterprises. Due to the incomplete rural medical insurance and medical assistance system, the ability of rural residents to resist disease risks is weak. Under the same air pollution conditions, rural residents exhibit stronger vulnerability and sensitivity. The aging of rural labor force is constantly intensifying, and middle-aged and elderly people have become the main force in the rural labor market. This article analyzes the inherent logical relationship and current situation between air pollution, health loss, and labor supply, and proposes corresponding policy recommendations for rural air pollution prevention and control, improving public health levels in rural areas, and accumulating rural human capital.

Published: September 2024

The multi-subject collaborative supply system for community public cultural services is a crucial component of China's public cultural service system. With the development of the market economy and the diversification of cultural demands among community residents, a single government-led supply system is unable to meet these needs. This paper, based on collaborative governance theory, explores the multi-subject collaborative supply mechanism in community public cultural services and identifies its existing challenges. The research finds that the current multi-subject collaborative supply of community public cultural services is insufficient, primarily reflected in difficulties in safeguarding basic cultural rights, low satisfaction with service levels, fragmented supply decision-making, and a lack of standardized institutional mechanisms. The reasons for insufficient collaborative supply include inadequate supply input, low supply efficiency, imbalanced supply subject structure, and an incomplete supply mechanism. To enhance the efficiency of multi-subject collaborative supply in community public cultural services, it is necessary to continuously expand multi-channel fundraising, establish a long-term funding support mechanism, innovate and integrate cultural resources for precise high-quality supply, optimize the collaborative supply structure of multi-subjects in community public cultural services, and improve the operational mechanisms of multi-subject collaborative supply.
