Urbanization and Mental Health
Authors: Liu Jody
Published: December 2024

This paper covers the different aspects of levels of urbanization that could potentially affect mental health. This is evaluated by analyzing rates of depression and anxiety. Rapid urbanization is likely to expose the residences to more stress factors. These stress factors may appear in many aspects of their life that may affect their quality of living and overall lifestyle. These aspects of urban planning that may induce higher levels of mental health disorders are mentioned to explain why urbanization seems to influence mental health and ways that it can be resolved. Though further investigation is required to come up with a conclusion that may be generalized, it can be inferred that poorly planned rapid urbanization does seem to have a detrimental effect on mental health in general.

Authors: Yuan Chenghao
Published: December 2024

In recent years, with the overuse of antibiotics in modern medicine, the development of new antibiotics has slowed down, forcing antimicrobial resistance to continue to increase, and new strategies are needed to address this problem. Bacteriophage is a kind of virus that infects prokaryotes such as bacteria, fungi and actinomyces. Bacteriophage can make up for the shortcomings of traditional antibiotics and bactericidal technology. At the same time, because of its special physicochemical properties, such as stable structure, easy reproduction and convenient molecular biological operation, it has been widely used in many fields such as biology, medicine, food science and veterinary medicine. The commercial development of phage biologics abroad and the results of phage research in China in recent years indicate that we should follow the trend of phage research and application more optimistically, and further study and promote the application of phage as a bacteriostatic substance.

Authors: Zou Dichon
Published: December 2024

The impact of ESG performance on corporate value is one of the key research topics in today's research. Researchers have found that there is a significant correlation between ESG performance and corporate value, however, there is still a research gap on the mechanism of specific policies affecting ESG performance on corporate value, and there is still a lack of unified interpretation and cognition. Therefore, it is of great significance to deeply explore the specific impact path and effect of ESG performance on corporate value in the policy context to improve corporate governance and promote sustainable development. This study conducts a regression analysis of corporate ESG performance and corporate value based on the specific time of policy issuance. Explore the impact of ESG performance on corporate value over time. The study finds that in the long run, corporate ESG performance has a significant impact on corporate value, and it is particularly noteworthy that since the implementation of the revision of the Code of Corporate Governance for Listed Companies in 2019, the impact of ESG performance on corporate value has changed significantly, from a non-significant correlation to a clear positive correlation. This shift may be due to the increasing emphasis on sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors among investors and the market, prompting companies to strengthen their ESG practices, which in turn increases their market value and social acceptance.

Published: December 2024

In recent years, environmental problems have been highlighted as serious as well as urgent, and green finance has gradually become a hot topic. As green credit has evolved, the academic research and discussion on it is also very enthusiastic. Based on the analysis of government regulation, listed companies, and other aspects, the effect of green credit adoption on businesses' green innovation and empirical research is a popular research topic among scholars in this field. Studies have indicated that, among other things, green credit has a catalytic influence on corporate innovation. This paper synthesizes green credit's effect on business green innovation discussed in several papers. The results show that, firstly, the impact of green credit is divided into the direct way that affects the cost of financing and the indirect way that plays the role of intermediary, etc. Secondly, the impact is broken down into the volume, caliber, and continuity of businesses' use of green innovation; also, there are differences in the impacts of green credit on state-owned enterprises and non-state-owned enterprises, and in different locations, etc. The influence of green finance on green innovation in businesses are also different from each other. And the heterogeneity difference is most significant relative to heavily polluting enterprises and green enterprises. Overall, green credit exerts a more robust resistance and motivating impact on profoundly polluting initiatives and corporations.

Making use of the approach called SecureConnect, the article titled “Revolutionizing Remote Patient Care with Secure and Private IoT-Based Healthcare Monitoring Systems” describes how it functions. Thanks to the usage of modern encryption methods in its Internet of Things substrate, SecureConnect safeguards patient information and data from falling into the wrong hands as a result of the modern industry it was built for – digital health. The procedures used involve a methodical development and issuance of SecureConnect followed by it being subjected to controlled experimentation, replicating the edifice of the actual healthcare setting for validation. After analyzing the security feature of SecureConnect, we show that it outperforms comparable approaches, namely, SecureMed, iGuardian, and MedGuard by benchmarking SecureConnect’s security architecture. It was also evidenced that there is a highly significant difference between the two systems which supports the idea of how SecureConnect could help to transform the era of remote patient care. The accuracy of SecureConnect to detect all potential threats is 94%, while for SecureMed, iGuardian and MedGuardian; it is 88%, 91% respectively. Sensitivity, one of the measures applied in tracking healthcare, shows SecureConnect’s proficiency at 96 percent, surpassing competitors. The comparison with SecureMed, iGuardian and MedGuardian as for specificity proves its advantage as well: 92% opposed to 89%, 92% and 88% correspondingly. These two numerical outcomes substantiate SecureConnect’s position as an effective new concept in managing remote patient care since consistent out-performing of the assessment indices has been achieved.

Published: December 2024

The climate of Iraq has become increasingly variable in recent years, characterized by high temperatures and low rainfall. Rainfall plays a crucial role in agriculture in Iraq and thus affects the economy. Rainfall prediction has become essential for the favorable management of rainfall in various aspects of life. In this research, weather data were collected from Hilla station of the Climate Department of the General Authority of Meteorology and Seismology in Iraq for the period from 2012 to 2022. The data consist of several columns: date, wind speed, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, relative humidity, sea pressure, normal temperature, and rainfall. The time series data used with the long short-term memory method represents one of the most effective applications of deep learning techniques. Two LSTMs were trained the first time using all available features, which are 6 features, in addition to training the LSTM and the inputs were the influential features that gave high values in the correlation matrix (wind speed, sea pressure, and relative humidity) to achieve accuracy and reduce the prediction error of rainfall. The weekly and monthly forecasts made with the influential features outperformed the forecasts made with all features. The evaluation metric (root mean square error) showed lower error when using all data columns (RMSE = 0.05 and RMSE = 0.025) for weekly and monthly forecasts, respectively, and less errors when using only a limited number of columns (RMSE = 0.04 and RMSE = 0.01) for weekly and monthly forecasts, respectively.

Обеспечение прав потерпевшего при заключении досудебного соглашения о сотрудничестве
Authors: Солодовник В.В.
Published: December 2024

В статье анализируются гарантии обеспечения прав потерпевшего и возможности реализации последним своих прав и законных интересов при заключении досудебного соглашения о сотрудничестве (далее – ДСС). Представляется, что процедура заключения ДСС не ограничивает доступ потерпевшего к правосудию, но при этом не дает ему права решать вопрос о возможности применения процедуры ДСС. Рассматривается возможность наделения потерпевшего правом влияния на возможность заключения ДСС, что представляется нецелесообразным, как и преждевременное информирование потерпевшего о заключении ДСС с обвиняемым. Возмещение вреда потерпевшему должно взять на себя государство, если по причине заключения ДСС с обвиняемым потерпевшему не был возмещен ущерб, причиненный преступлением. Компенсацию целесообразно осуществлять из фонда помощи потерпевшим, который в России до настоящего времени не создан.

The article analyzes the guarantees of ensuring the rights of the victim and the possibility for the latter to exercise his rights and legitimate interests when concluding a pre-trial cooperation agreement. It seems that the procedure for concluding a pre-trial cooperation agreement does not restrict the victim's access to justice, but at the same time does not give him the right to decide on the possibility of applying this procedure. The possibility of granting the victim the right to influence the possibility of concluding a pre-trial cooperation agreement is being considered, which seems impractical, as well as premature informing the victim about the conclusion of such an agreement with the accused. Compensation for harm to the victim must be assumed by the state if, due to the conclusion of a pre-trial cooperation agreement with the accused, the victim has not been compensated for the damage caused by the crime. Compensation should be provided from the victim assistance fund, which has not yet been established in Russia.

The article reveals the essence of information support for the investigation of crimes related to the unknown disappearance of persons. It is emphasized that one of the sources of obtaining information are initial, intermediate, final, conflict, non-conflict, favorable and unfavorable investigative situations containing information components. It is argued that investigative situations enable the subjects of the investigation of the crimes in question to determine the need for interaction with officials of operational units, specific areas of investigation, implement tactical techniques in the conduct of investigative actions, minimize counteraction to the investigation, and take proactive measures to ensure the safety of participants in pre-trial proceedings.
Comparison of The Performances of Clustering and Dimensionality Reduction Approaches in Collaborative Filtering
Authors: Taş Özge
Published: December 2024

Recommendation systems (RS) can be defined as systems that aim to offer personalized product and service recommendations to users based on users' past product preferences and similarities with other users in the system, especially in systems that provide e-commerce services. The main purpose of RS is to reveal meaningful information from large-scale data to users and to recommend systems that aim to simplify the analysis of user behaviors and product attributes. It is possible to divide the techniques used in RS into two main categories content-based and collaborative filtering (CF) according to the information they receive as input. Content-based recommendation systems focus on analyzing the attributes of items such as articles, movies or music to generate tailored recommendations. CF methods analyze user-generated scores for products and services to identify patterns and preferences. The success of CF techniques hinges on accurately identifying user similarities within large datasets. However, in CF techniques, large-scale data sets consisting of a large number of users and the scores given by users to these products are used. Consequently, identifying user similarities in such extensive datasets poses significant challenges. Two different methods are used to overcome this problem. The first method applies clustering analysis to divide the dataset into smaller subsets (user or product), followed by the application of CF techniques. In the other method, dimensionality reduction is performed on a product (object) basis using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) methods. Up to now, many studies have been carried out using clustering analysis and variable dimensionality reduction methods Despite extensive research, a thorough comparison of clustering and dimensionality reduction methods on real-world datasets remains unexplored. This study aims to compare the performances of eleven clustering techniques of eleven clustering techniques, four of which are non-hierarchical seven of which are hierarchical clustering algorithms, and two variable dimensionality reduction techniques, consisting of SVD and PCA METHODS, in CF.

Authors: Palauro Chistiane Rodrigues Tofoli , Daumas Priscila da Silveira Palmeira Silva , Carreiro Eneida de Morais , de Almeida Felipe Pimentel , Dias Igor Lustosa , Meyer Patrícia Froes
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: The skin, the largest organ in the human body, is composed of complex layers that include subcutaneous adipose tissue. Understanding the characteristics of this skin structure is essential to optimize therapeutic interventions, such as cryolipolysis, aiming for more
effective and personalized results. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the immunohistochemical effects of skin tissue in adult women undergoing cryolipolysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We carried out an experimental and blind study with immunohistochemical analysis in women with localized abdominal
fat, categorized based on the constitution of the skin as flaccid or firm according to the Investigator Assessment Skin Laxity Scoring System scale. Participants were randomized before undergoing the cryolipolysis procedure. Forty-five days after the procedure, they underwent abdominoplasty,
with collection of biological material. We evaluated the inflammatory markers EBF-1, TNF-alpha, and CD68, as well as Caspase 3, cleaved Caspase 3, apoptotic BCL2, Ki-67 for fibroblast proliferation, and FIS1 for mitochondrial proliferation. RESULTS: Six women were included, divided
into two groups; three women with loose and three with firm skin. We observed that after cryolipolysis, the group with flaccid skin showed higher expression of the Casp3, TNF-alpha, BCL2, and FIS1 markers compared to those with firm skin. CONCLUSION: Cryolipolysis may act differently
according to tissue morphology, suggesting that its apoptotic response is more pronounced in the group with flaccid skin.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: Resveratrol (Res) (3,5,4' -trihydroxystilbene) is a natural polyphenol that exhibits important biological activities. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of resveratrol (Res) on freezethawed survival of semen from Honamli and Hair Bucks. MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Six bucks, aged 2 – 3 years (three from each breed), were included in the study. Semen was collected from each breed and mixed separately after removing seminal plasma. The mixed semen was diluted with different Res concentrations (0 μM as control, 25 μM, 50 μM, 100 μM, 500
μM, and 1 mM) in Tris diluent and subjected to cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen vapor and frozen. After thawing, the samples were evaluated for motility and some spermatologic quality parameters by flow cytometry. RESULTS: Data were analyzed separately for Honamli and Hair breeds.
The results showed that the Res 1 mM group had the lowest motility in all assessments (P <0.05). However, no significant differences were observed between the other Res and control groups (P >0.05). In terms of apoptosis, Hair bucks exhibited a statistically significant
difference in late apoptotic parameters, with the control showing the highest values (P <0.05). The Res 25 μM group (similar to the control group) showed lower mitochondrial oxidative stress than the Res 1 mM group (P <0.05). CONCLUSION: Res at a dose of 1 mM
did not protect most sperm functional and biochemical parameters except for apoptosis and performed worse than the control group. When all parameters are evaluated collectively, concentrations lower than 1 mM should be used for freezing Honamli and Hair Buck semen with resveratrol.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: There is a crucial need to develop appropriate cryopreservation solutions so that somatic resource biobanks of wildlife can be established. OBJECTIVE: Here, we propose a cryopreservation protocol to optimize the preservation of skin-derived fibroblasts from
six-banded armadillos (Euphractus sexcinctus Linnaeus, 1758) by comparing different concentrations of fetal bovine serum (FBS) in the absence or presence of sucrose as non-permeable cryoprotectants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cells were cryopreserved by slow freezing with different
solutions containing Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) with 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), varying concentrations of FBS (10, 20 and 40%) without or with 0.2 M sucrose, totaling six comparison groups. Cells not subjected to cryopreservation were used as a control. Cells were evaluated
for morphological characteristics, viability, metabolism, apoptosis levels, proliferative activity and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ m). RESULTS: Cells maintained similar fusiform morphology and demonstrated high viability (> 90%) before and after cryopreservation
in all groups. Cryopreserved cells with 10 and 40% of FBS without sucrose showed lower metabolism, but, when sucrose was added, this parameter was maintained as in the control group. This effect was not observed in the 20% FBS groups in the absence or presence of sucrose, with viability similar
to that of the non-cryopreserved group. The addition of sucrose maintained apoptosis levels, while the 20 and 40% FBS without sucrose groups showed alterations in viable, early apoptosis and necrosis stages. Nevertheless, all cryopreserved groups showed lower proliferative activity with a
higher population doubling time (16.2-19.9 h) than the non-cryopreserved group (15.2 h). Finally, the 20% FBS groups, in the absence or presence of sucrose, maintained the ΔΨm. CONCLUSION: We demonstrated that 20% FBS with sucrose was the most suitable cryopreservation solution
for six-banded armadillo skin-derived fibroblast lines, promoting high cell survival after thawing.

BACKGROUND: Despite advancements in bovine embryos cryopreservation techniques, challenges remain, warranting further investigation into their impact on embryo morphology and viability so that outcomes can be improved. OBJECTIVE: To analyze, through transmission electron
microscopy (TEM), in vitro-produced bovine embryos vitrified using the Cryotop method. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Groups of embryos were transferred to a stabilization solution (SS) containing 7.5% EG, 7.5% DMSO in maintenance medium (TCM-199 supplemented with 20% FBS) for 2 min, and then
transferred to a vitrification solution (VS) containing 15% EG, 15% DMSO, and 0.5 M sucrose in maintenance medium. Warming was performed in five stages with decreasing concentrations of sucrose. After warming, the blastocysts were cultured for 24 h for subsequent survival analysis and ultrastructural
evaluation. In vitro-produced bovine embryos that did not undergo the vitrification process were used as a fresh control. RESULTS: Blastocoel reestablishment was observed in 52.3% (66/126) of vitrified embryos 24 h after warming, demonstrating the method's effectiveness in postcryopreservation
survival. Ultrastructural analysis of embryos from the fresh control group showed flattened trophoectodermal cells with prominent nuclei, well-preserved mitochondria, and Golgi complexes were also evident. Microvilli were observed in some regions near the zona pellucida. Embryos vitrified
using the Cryotop method exhibited lesions consistent with the cryopreservation process, such as intracellular disorganization, mitochondrial injuries, and dispersion of microvilli. CONCLUSIONS: Ultrastructural evaluation of in vitro-produced bovine embryos vitrified using the Cryotop
method is an effective tool for increased understanding of the injuries caused to embryonic cells during the cryopreservation process.

Authors: Liu Dejuan
Published: December 2024

Higher education institutions play a crucial role in cultivating high-quality talent for society, and fixed assets are the essential hardware foundation for advancing teaching, research activities, and school and educational management. With the expansion of universities, the scale of their fixed assets has also continuously grown, necessitating a shift in the management model of fixed assets. The era of big data offers new methods and approaches for managing these assets. This  paper focuses on the informatization of fixed asset management in universities, set against the backdrop of the big data era. It outlines the necessity and advantages of efficient informatized management and, based on the current challenges in managing fixed assets in Chinese universities under big data, proposes corresponding strategies. The aim is to provide insights and references for improving the efficiency of fixed asset management in higher education institutions.
Study on the Impact of Widening Price Limit on the Volatility of GEM
Authors: Li Jingtian
Published: December 2024

On August 24, 2020, the price limit of GEM market was officially relaxed from the previous 10% to 20%. This policy adjustment provided a good "quasi-natural" experiment for the standard. By constructing a differential difference model (DID), this paper took GEM stocks as the experimental group and small and medium-sized board stocks as the control group, and made use of relevant data from 2017 to 2023. Study the effect of this system adjustment on the volatility of GEM stock price. The empirical test results show that the relaxation of the limit of rise and fall increases the volatility of GEM stocks.
A Literature Review of Adolescent Internet Literacy from the Perspective of Digital Divide
Authors: Wang Lian , Mei Xiaohan
Published: December 2024

In the information age, Internet literacy encompasses computer literacy, information literacy, and other literacy content, including network technology, network security, and other aspects. It is the basic literacy necessary for the survival and development of adolescents on the network. Adolescents, as Internet natives, are vulnerable to the influence of the Internet, so improving their Internet literacy is critical. This study reviews the literature on adolescent Internet literacy from three aspects, including the concept of internet literacy, evaluation indicators of adolescents' internet literacy, and its relationship to other factors, to help better understand the focus of the previous studies and make suggestions for future research directions. At the same time, it is hoped that this will draw the attention of researchers to the importance of Internet literacy, and advocate that policymakers, schools, and parents commit themselves to guiding adolescents to use the Internet wisely, improving their Internet literacy, and contributing to the narrowing of the digital divide.
Research on the Impact of Financing Constraints on Environmental Investment under Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Policy
Authors: Dai Fangbing
Published: December 2024

Since the 13th Five-Year Plan, China has solemnly put forward the overall goal of "carbon neutrality and carbon peaking". Toward this goal, in order to increase energy conservation and emission reduction, China has released carbon peaking implementation plans and a series of carbon peaking in key areas and industries, and has built a carbon-peak, carbon-neutral "1+N" policy system. Based on that, this paper takes the A-share listed companies in China's Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2009 to 2020 as a research sample and uses the double difference model to explore the "Notice on Carrying out the Pilot Work of Carbon Emissions Trading". Whether the "dual carbon" policy, represented by the establishment of the pilot carbon emission trading market, has a positive impact on the environmental protection investment of enterprises, and the impact on the relationship between financing constraints and environmental protection investment. In this paper, factors such as company size, profitability are added to the model as control variables, and the differences in policy effects are further studied, and the inhibitory effect of the policy on financing constraints on environmental protection investment is obtained. There is a positive moderating effect, and the effect of policies on promoting environmental protection investment in non-state-owned enterprises is more significant than that of state-owned enterprises. Based on the research results, the article gives some suggestions to the government and enterprise.
