Introduction: Endometriosis of the abdominal wall, defined as the implantation of endometrial tissue within abdominal structures more superficial than the peritoneum, is little known to surgeons treating the affections of the abdominal wall. The aim of this work is to report our experience in the diagnosis and management of this rare condition. Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective multicenter study of patients with endometriosis of the abdominal wall confirmed by histological examination from December 2006 to March 2015. Results: A total of 11 patients with a histological examination of parietal endometriosis were collected. The average age of patients was 35 years. In 7 cases, patients had a history of abdominopelvic surgery. The lesions were located in the umbilical region in 7 cases and in the operative scar in 4 cases. The symptomatology, essentially of pain and parietal swelling, sometimes punctuated by the menstrual cycle, was found in all patients. Treatment consisted of a broad excision of the tumor and the histological confirmed the diagnosis in all cases. The surgery was simple in all patients. The mean duration of postoperative follow-up was 12 months and no recurrence was noted. Conclusion: Parietal endometriosis is a rare localization of endometriosic disease. Diagnostic confirmation is provided by histological examination of lesions. The treatment is essentially surgical and recurrences are rare.

Published: August 2024

In Indonesia, the problem of inter-religious relations seriously needs attention. Conflicts that use religious sentiment mostly exploit religious diversity to hide the real intention. The exploitation of religion in the form of falsifying religious identity is used as an effort to destabilize Indonesia, and religious interpretations are used as justification for discriminating against and dominating other religious groups, which is often found in conflicts in Indonesia. Potential adversaries likely use hybrid war to break unity and trust among Indonesians, to disintegrate the Republic of Indonesia and ultimately to control Indonesia's natural resources. Cross-institutional and civil group cooperation is needed to strengthen tolerance and affirm harmony in diversity, where Indonesian people embrace mutual understanding, care for diversity, and strengthen unity between people of different religions.

Phosphogypsum is a solid waste produced by the phosphoric acid industry. With the development of the phosphoric acid industry, the emissions of phosphogypsum are increasing year by year and its recycling rate is low. The environmental problems caused by tailings storage are becoming increasingly serious. The chemical formula of the main component of phosphogypsum is . its performance is similar to that of natural gypsum. Using phosphogypsum as a raw material to produce phosphorus building gypsum is one of the main ways to utilize phosphogypsum resources. However, phosphogypsum building materials have poor water resistance and low strength, which greatly limits their application. Based on the analysis of the poor resistance mechanism of phosphogypsum, this paper analyzed and studied the mechanical and water resistance properties of phosphorus building gypsum by separately adding different amounts of polyvinyl alcohol and silane emulsion and mixing polyvinyl alcohol and silane emulsion . The conclusion is that adding waterproofing agents and water-reducing agents can greatly improve the water resistance of phosphogypsum building materials.

Published: August 2024

The prediction of fracture time and crack development of metal shell under the impact load is a very significant research direction in engineering. In this paper, a coupling method is used to solve the dynamic expansion fracture process of center-blast tube with V-grooves under the pressure. A one-dimensional two-fluid model was utilized to govern the transient combustion. The nonlinear mechanical behaviors were predicted based on the finite element software ABAQUS, and the pressure and the structure were coupled by applying a user subroutine interface VUAMP in ABAQUS. The coupling approach was validated by comparing the predicted results with experimental results. Based on the validated approach, the characteristics of expansion fracture and the process of crack propagation on the center-blast tube with V-grooves were studied, and the effect grooves depth were analyzed. The results show that the crack propagation on tube can be divided into two stages that stable propagation stage and unstable propagation stage. The burst pressure of the center-blast tube with V-grooves decreases with the increase of crack depth, and the burst pressure decreases by about 7MPa with every depth increase of 0.25mm.
Weighted spiking neural P systems with target indications
Authors: Wu Ruina
Published: August 2024

Spiking neural p systems (SNP systems) are a distributed parallel computing device inspired by biology. A new variant—Weighted spiking neural P systems with target indications (WSNPTI systems) was proposed. By introducing the target indications into spiking neural P systems with weighted synapses, WSNPTI systems change the traditional spikes sending only to all synaptic connected neurons, but selectively sending the spikes to the specified neurons. WSNPTI systems simulate the workings of the human brain while using non-mechanical transmission methods to compute. This paper proves that the system is Turing universal as a number generation and an accepting device.

Published: August 2024

In the post-epidemic era, virtual partners have become good helpers in home fitness. Previous studies have shown that different interactive feedback from virtual partners will have different effects on individual sports incentives, among which sports incentives objectively include the improvement of sports ability. In this research, the virtual partner's exercise companion experiment was carried out, and the exercise oxygen uptake was taken as the dependent variable, and the factorial experiment was carried out in 3 x 2 (with or without positive encouragement feedback), in which the positive encouragement feedback included goal-oriented encouragement and non-goal-oriented encouragement. It is found that both moderate negative feedback and positive encouraging feedback of virtual partners can improve individual exercise oxygen uptake, and moderate negative feedback is more effective.
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface Assisted Wireless Network Rate Optimization Design
Authors: Zhang Yue , Li MingHeng
Published: August 2024

To enhance the communication rate, we deploy one active reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) and one passive RIS to cooperatively assist the downlink communication, while meeting the constraints of base station transmission power, total Active RIS power, and RIS unit modulus constraint. Due to the nonlinear coupling of multiple variables in the objective function, non-convexity is caused. Therefore, an alternating optimization algorithm (AO) is proposed, which uses semi-definite programming (SDP) based algorithm to optimize the transmit beamforming vector, ARIS reflection matrix, and PRIS diagonal phase shift matrix. The simulation results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, which indicates that optimizing the coefficients can significantly improve the spectrum efficiency of wireless networks.

Published: August 2024

The problem of excessive cadmium in farmland soil in China is severe, and it is of great significance to explore suitable passivators for specific polluted soils. Three typical and representative commercially available passivators were selected as the test agents, and simulated the natural production process of irrigation and drainage in farmland soil. Through soil cultivation experiments, the remediation effects of different types of passivators and water management on Cd contaminated farmland soil in a certain area of Sichuan were explored. The results showed that the passivator agent 1# based on organic matter reduced the soil pH value, the passivator agent 2# based on alkaline substance and the passivator agent 3# based on clay mineral could increase the soil pH value in different degrees, and the passivator agent 2# was better than the passivator agent 3#. Under flooding condition, soil pH value can be increased. The three passivator agents can increase the content of soil organic matter in different degrees, and the maximum increase rate was 35.2% under 8%. The three passivator agents can reduce the available Cd in different degrees, and the maximum reduction of passivator agents 1#, 2# and 3# was 61.8%, 67.1% and 46.4% respectively. The correlation analysis showed that the flooding state was conducive to the decrease of available Cd. Under the action of passivator agent 1# , the correlation between available Cd and pH was weak, and there was a strong negative correlation between Cd and organic matter (R=0.9922). Under the action of passivator agent 2#, available Cd had a strong negative correlation with pH (R=0.8702) and a weak negative correlation with organic matter (R=0.4041). Under the action of passivator agent 3#, available Cd was strongly negatively correlated with soil pH value and organic matter.

The path from home to school: study on migrant workers' children in Haining, Zhejiang Province
Authors: Xu Zhengkai , Dai Xiaoling
Published: August 2024

With the rapid development of urbanization in China, the number of migrant workers is increasing. As a result, the problem of whether children move with them has arisen, which has led to the emergence of a group of children who are in urgent need of child-friendly attention. At the institutional level, the most important measure of the Chinese government is to ensure the enrollment of migrant children, but now the institutional optimization is not enough. For example, the ' enrollment difficulty ' still exists, and many migrant children are forced to go to schools far away from home. This also leads to the lack of non-institutional level, such as the long distance to school so that these children cannot go to school independently. Through the data of parent interviews and behavior logs, this study verifies that the transfer of children significantly increases the cost of childcare for migrant workers, indirectly verifies the importance of school distance, and proposes that schools and matching public service facilities should be configured near industrial parks where migrant children are concentrated.

Based on the annual data of Chinese listed enterprises from 2004 to 2016, this paper investigates the impact of the opening up of the bond market on the division of labor position of enterprises' global value chains. It is found that the opening up of bond market mainly enhances the division of labor position of enterprises' global value chain by influencing the level of enterprises' technological innovation. The results of mechanism test show that the opening of bond market to the outside world can help enterprises to increase R&D investment, improve technological innovation level and realize the upgrading of the division of labor position in global value chain by alleviating the financing constraints of enterprises and intensifying the competition among enterprises. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the opening up of bond market has a better effect on the GVC status of enterprises in the central and western regions than that of enterprises in the eastern regions.
Digital Inclusive Finance and Cultural Consumption
Authors: Zhang Cai
Published: August 2024

With the transformation of the primary contradiction in our society into the contradiction between the growing needs of the people for a better life and the imbalanced and inadequate development, the importance of cultural consumption is increasing day by day. However, there is limited research from the perspective of digital inclusive finance in promoting cultural consumption. Based on provincial panel data from 2011 to 2021 in China, this paper analyzes the intrinsic mechanism of how digital inclusive finance influences cultural consumption from the perspective of cultural innovation using a two-way fixed effects model and a mediation effects model. The study finds that digital inclusive finance can significantly promote residents' cultural consumption, with dimensional heterogeneity and regional heterogeneity existing: the breadth and depth of coverage of digital inclusive finance sub-dimensions can significantly promote residents' cultural consumption, but the degree of digitization inhibits cultural consumption. The promotion effect is significant in the eastern region. The study also finds that cultural innovation plays a mediating role in the relationship between digital inclusive finance and cultural consumption, i.e., digital inclusive finance promotes cultural consumption by enhancing the level of cultural innovation. The scale of participation in literary and artistic activities plays a positive moderating role in the mechanism of promoting urban and rural cultural consumption by digital inclusive finance, i.e., the larger the scale of participation in literary and artistic activities, the stronger the promotion effect of digital inclusive finance on cultural consumption. Through this study, the relationship between digital inclusive finance and cultural consumption is further confirmed empirically, and a cultural innovation intermediary variable is constructed to elucidate the mechanism of how digital inclusive finance influences cultural consumption.

SMEs often face resource constraints, ranging from financial capital to human resources and market access. Understanding how entrepreneurial ecosystems facilitate resource allocation and address these constraints is crucial for enabling sustainable growth. This study therefore investigated the impact of entrepreneurial ecosystems on firms’ growth, with a focus on SMEs operating in Ilorin metropolis, Kwara State. A cross-sectional survey research design and a quantitative data gathering method were used in this study. Three hundred and forty-three (343) SMEs make up the study's sample size, which was chosen to represent the 3124 SMEs that are registered with the Kwara State Board of Internal Revenue and pay taxes totaling one hundred thousand naira or more. Standard multiple linear regression analysis was employed to analyze the data obtained from the administration of a structured survey questionnaire. Findings of the study revealed that entrepreneurial ecosystems through access to capital, entrepreneurial support infrastructure and talent and knowledge exchange have significant impact on SMEs growth. The study concluded that entrepreneurial ecosystems constitute the bedrock upon which SMEs thrive and catalyze economic growth. By providing startups with the necessary resources to invest, innovate, and expand, access to finance plays a pivotal role in fueling entrepreneurial activity, job creation, and economic growth. The study recommended among others that, programs and initiatives aimed at improving financial literacy among entrepreneurs, empowering them to make informed decisions about financing options and investment opportunities should be invested on and implement policies and initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion within the financial ecosystem, ensuring equitable access to finance for women, minority entrepreneurs, and underserved communities.

Crude oil spills have devastating effects on the environment, particularly aquatic ecosystems. The purpose of the present research is to determine whether dry coconut shells can be used as raw materials to make activated charcoal (AC) via pyrolysis and whether they can be utilized as natural sorbents to clean up crude oil spills. The UV-Vis spectrum of the synthesized CSAC shows distinct peaks at 230 and 260 nm, whereas the activated charcoal exhibits peaks at 231 and 261 nm. The FTIR spectra of the synthesized CSAC reveal a medium broad absorption peak at 3307.2 cm⁻¹, while the raw coconut shell's FTIR spectra show a medium sharp peak at 2945.3 cm⁻¹. The SEM images highlight the unique structural properties of CSAC, showcasing high porosity, varied pore sizes, rough surface topography, and the presence of micropores and mesopores. The chemical activation significantly increased the hydrophobicity of the adsorbent, creating CSAC with a much better adsorption capacity for crude oil removal, having a maximum adsorption capacity of 4840.0 mg/g and the highest percentage of crude oil removal at 99.9985%, as proven by batch experiments for different adsorbent dosages. The batch experimental results indicated that the percentage of crude oil removal increased with an increase in adsorbent dosage and contact time. Based on the correlation coefficients (R²) values (close to unity), it was generally observed that the plots match the Freundlich isotherm better than the Langmuir isotherm model. These findings have made the synthetic CSAC an attractive, useful, and environmentally friendly adsorbent.

This study assessed the diversity, abundance, and composition of macro-invertebrates in the Gubi and Waya Dams in Bauchi State. Macro-invertebrates were collected fortnightly from different locations in the upper and lower parts of the dams using a D-frame net with a mesh size of 250 µm. Samples were preserved in 10% formaldehyde and identified. In Gubi Dam, 62 individual macro-invertebrates belonging to 7 orders and 9 families were identified, while Waya Dam had 108 individuals from 8 orders and 10 families. Both dams had Coleoptera with three families, followed by Odonata with two families, and other orders with one family each. In Gubi Dam, the most abundant macro-invertebrates were Psephenus spp. (24.1%), Paragomphus genei (17.74%), and Phaon camerunensis (16.13%). In Waya Dam, Paragomphus genei (29.63%) and Phaon camerunensis (25.93%) were the most abundant. Gubi Dam had a Shannon-Wiener index of 2.00, a Margalef’s index of 1.99, Pielou’s evenness index of 0.91, and a Simpson’s index of 0.86. Waya Dam had a Shannon-Wiener index of 1.88, a Margalef’s index of 1.92, an evenness index of 0.82, and a Simpson’s index of 0.81. The study concluded that both dams provide stable and moderate aquatic environments for the growth and survival of macro-invertebrates as well as other aquatic organisms. Continuous monitoring of the water bodies, especially Waya Dam, using water indices and pollution indicator macro-invertebrates to obtain vital information on ecological status is recommended.

Feedwater heater (FWH) performance can be monitored periodically by reviewing the terminal temperature difference (TTD) and drain cooler approach (DCA) values. Monitoring this value by comparing the actual condition and the value resulting from commissioning.  The lower the TTD and DCA values, the better the work effectiveness of FWH. In general, the TTD value ranges between 2.8 ºC to -2.8 ºC while the DCA is between 5.6 ºC to 1 ºC. In this research, modeling was carried out using a cycle tempo simulation of the Molotabu Gorontalo 2 x 12.5 MW PLTU generator to review how much influence the changes in TTD and DCA values ​​of the low feedwater and hight feedwater heaters have. The variations used respectively are TTD with a value (°C) of 2.8; 2; 0; -2 and -2.8 while DCA) respectively (°C) 5.6; 5; 4 ; 3; 2 and 1. The aim of the research is to find out how heat transfer occurs in the two FWHs resulting from modeling and its effect on the Net Plant Hear Rate (NPHR) and the efficiency of the PLTU system. Based on the simulation results obtained using variations of TTD and DCA on the low feedwater heater, the heat transfer in the heater is 144830 kW and 1761.48 kW. Meanwhile, the high feedwater heater produces heat transfer to the heater of 3400.13 kW and 3795.24 kW. As for energy balance, the lowest gross power was 26.32% and the highest was 26.5%. Based on the analysis results, the highest NPHR value was 21634.24 kg/kJ/h, getting an efficiency value of 25.87%. while the lowest NPHR is 25130.43 kg/kJ/h low NPHR produces the highest efficiency of 26%.
