Authors: Федько В.В. , Безуглий Д.Є.
Published: April 2020

Розглянуто проблему підбору конструктивних елементів для створення веб застосунків засобами CMS систем. Проаналізовано основні недоліки технології використання CMS систем під час розробки модулів. Запропоновано систему розширень модулів на основі колекції програмних хуків та віджетів. Така система прискорює розробку модулів, спрощує роботу з базою даних завдяки інтегрованій ORM системі, допомагає швидко втілювати функціонал, який є спільним для багатьох модулів. Описано систему оптимізації розробки модулів для сучасних CMS-систем на прикладі Prestashop, яка використовується для швидкої розробки Інтернет-магазинів. Під час дослідження використано технології PHP, JavaScript (ES6), Smarty, Symfony та методи побудови UML-сценаріїв використання.
Підходи до побудови моделі загроз для аналізу безпеки відкритого програмного кода
Authors: Гапон А.О. , Федорченко В.М. , Поляков А.О.
Published: April 2020

Гарантування безпеки програмного продукту з відкритим вихідним кодом є актуальною проблемою, бо навіть у проектах з закритим вихідним кодом можуть бути присутні open source бібліотеки, що робить можливим появу вразливості у них. Серед методів, що використовують для виявлення вразливостей, варто виділити моделювання загроз, бо цей метод дозволяє вже на ранніх етапах розробки програмного коду прийняти заходи, що знизять витрати на ліквідацію вразливостей та спростять їх усунення і зміни до архітектури додатку. Підбір відповідного підходу при побудові моделі загроз залежить від специфіки проекту, ресурсів, а також кваліфікації адміністраторів.
Порівняння стійкості стеганографічних методів Кохо-Жао та DWT[10] до різних типів спотворення програмними засобами
Authors: Грицюк В.К. , Золотарьов В.А.
Published: April 2020

Наведено результати практичних досліджень щодо використання алгоритмів вбудовування для приховування інформації в цифрових відео файлах, отримані за допомогою спеціально розробленої програми на мові Java. Оцінена різниця між початковим відео з вбудованими даними та спотвореним відео за показником індексу структурної подібності індексу структурної подібності SSIM, який вважається більш точним ніж параметр пікового відношення сигналу до шуму (PSNR), та завжди лежить у діапазоні від –1 до 1. Проаналізовані результати, отримані на трьох етапах досліджень, оцінки відео з різними методами вбудовування; з різними методами завадостійкого кодування; з різними моделями каналів зв’язку. Оцінка стійкості до завад в залежності від вибору стеганографічного метода проводилася методами Кохо-Жао і DWT, використовувалися два пороги вбудовування, без завадостійких кодів та без імітації каналів зв’язку. Вплив використання різних методів завадостійкого кодування на стійкість відео проводився за допомогою кодів Хеммінга, БЧХ, РС. Оцінка стійкості до завад в залежності від каналів зв’язку проводилася для 4-х моделей, на які можна розкласти реальний канал зв’язку: каналу з простим шумом, каналу з чорно-білим шумом, каналу з адитивним білим гауссівським шумом та каналу з дискретним каналом зі стиранням. Дослідним шляхом було з’ясовано, що різниця в стійкості до завад для різних стегонографічних методів несуттєва; збільшення порогу вбудовування інформації приводить до зростання стійкості; ускладнення алгоритму кодування підвищує стійкість як до атак, так і для завад; виявлено, що найгіршим для передачі відео є дискретний канал зі стиранням.

Published: April 2020

This study examined the integration of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (RS/GIS) for analyzing land use and land cover dynamics in Gombe Metropolitan, the Gombe State capital for the period 1976 to 2016. Land sat (TM) images of 1976, 1996and 2016 were used. The study employed supervised digital image classification method using Erdas Imagine 9.2 and Arc GIS 10.5 software and classified the land use into undisturbed vegetation, sparse vegetation, Settlements, Farmlands, Rock outcrops, Bare surfaces. The images were analyzed via georeferencing, image enhancement, image resampling and classification. The results obtained show an increasing settlements (from 0.36% - 4.01%) and farmlands (from 24.8% - 51.2%), over a decreasing of other LULC classes (bare surfaces, undisturbed and sparse vegetation, and rocky outcrops) for the time period of 1976 to 2016. These results could help city planners and policy makers to attain and sustain future urban development. It is therefore recommended that encouragement should be given to people to build towards the outskirts, like New mile 3 and Tumfure, etc through the provision of incentives and forces of attraction that is available at the city center in these areas to avoid the problem of overcrowdings.

New digital safety net or just more ‘friendfunding’? Institutional analysis of medical crowdfunding in the United States
Authors: Lee Sumin , Lehdonvirta Vili
Published: April 2020

Crowdfunding is becoming a popular way of financing healthcare. Some commentators suggest that crowdfunding could serve as a new institution that fills gaps in conventional safety nets. Others suggest that crowdfunding is simply another way of obtaining help from family, friends, and local associations, and has little transformative potential. We provide one of the first quantitative analyses of medical crowdfunding, and the first to model the broader societal context in which campaigns are situated. We scraped data on US medical campaigns from the leading platform, and combined them with county-level socioeconomic data to model predictors of campaign frequency and success. Our findings suggest that many seek help from crowdfunding when both formal and informal conventional safety nets fail them. Significantly more campaigns are initiated in US counties with poorer private insurance coverage, lower social security provision, fewer social associations, and weaker cultures of giving. However, campaigns are least likely to reach their goals where most needed. Campaigns are more likely to be successful in counties that are wealthier and healthier, and have more social associations. Crowdfunding is not merely ‘friendfunding’: fundraisers can increase their chances of success by having their appeals widely shared on social media. However, the returns to sharing are greater for campaigns initiated in wealthier areas. Overall, our findings suggest that medical crowdfunding is an entrepreneurial safety net: one where protection is not afforded universally or on the basis of need, but on the basis of one’s ability to appeal to the audience and out- compete rivaling needfuls.

Authors: Patiyal Sumeet , Kaur Dilraj , Kaur Harpreet , Sharma Neelam , Dhall Anjali , Sahai Sukriti , Agrawal Piyush , Maryam Lubna , Arora Chakit , Raghava Gajendra Pal Singh
Published: April 2020

A web-based resource CoronaVIR (https://webs.iiitd.edu.in/raghava/coronavir/) has been developed to maintain predicted and existing information on coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. We have integrated multiple modules including “Genomics”, “Diagnosis”, “Immunotherapy” and “Drug Designing” to understand the holistic view of this pandemic medical disaster. Genomics module provides genomic information of different strains of this virus to understand genomic level alterations. The Diagnosis module provides detailed information on currently-in-use diagnostics tests as well as on five novel universal primers-sets predicted using in silico tools. The Immunotherapy module provides information on epitope-based potential vaccine candidates (e.g., LQLPQGTTLPKGFYA, VILLNKHIDAYKTFPPTEPKKDKKKK, EITVATSRTLS, GKGQQQQGQTV, SELVIGAVILR) predicted using state-of-the-art software and resources in the field of immune-informatic. These epitopes have the potential to activate both adaptive (e.g., B-cell, T-cell) and innate (e.g., vaccine adjuvants) immune systems as well suitable for all strains of SARS-CoV-2. Besides, we have also predicted potential candidates for siRNA-based therapy and RNA based vaccine adjuvants. The Drug Designing module maintains information about potential drug targets, tertiary structures, and potential drug molecules. These potential drug molecules were identified from FDA approved drugs using the docking-based approach. We also compiled information from the literature and the Internet on potential drugs, repurposing drugs and monoclonal antibodies. To understand host-virus interaction, we identified cell-penetrating peptides in the virus. In this study, state-of-the-art techniques have been used for predicting the potential candidates for diagnostics and therapeutics.
Is There a g-factor of Genderedness? Using a Continuous Measure of Genderedness to Assess Sex Differences in Personality, Values, Cognitive Ability, School Grades, and Educational Track
Authors: Ilmarinen Ville Juhani , Vainikainen Mari-Pauliina , Lönnqvist Jan-Erik
Published: April 2020

Some of the most persistently recurring research questions concern sex differences. Despite much progress, limited research has thus far been undertaken to investigate whether there is one general construct of genderedness that runs through various domains of human individuality. In order to determine whether being gender typical in one way goes together with being gender typical also in other ways, we investigated whether 16-year-old Finnish girls and boys (N = 4106) differ in their personality, values, cognitive abilities, academic achievement, and educational track. To do this, we updated the prediction-focused gender diagnosticity approach by methods of cross-validation for more accurate estimation. The preregistered analysis show that sex differences vary across domains (Ds = 0.15–1.48), that fine-grained measures, such as grade profiles, can be accurate in predicting sex (77.5%), whereas some summary indices, such as general cognitive ability, do not perform above-chance (52.4%), and that the genderedness correlations, despite all being positive, are too weak (average partial correlation, r´ = .09, range .03–.34) to support a general factor of genderedness. Our more exploratory analyses show that more focus on gender typicality could offer important insights into the role of gender in shaping people’s lives.
Adolescents’ Motivations to Engage in Social Distancing during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Associations with Mental and Social Health
Authors: Oosterhoff Benjamin , palmer Cara , Wilson Jenna , Shook Natalie
Published: April 2020

Purpose: Reducing the spread of infectious disease during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic prompted recommendations for individuals to limit physical contact with others and engage in social distancing. Less is known about why youth are engaging in social distancing and how these motivations are connected with their engagement, mental health, and social health. Using a large sample of adolescents from across the United States, this study examined adolescents’ motivations for social distancing, their engagement in social distancing, and their mental and social health. Methods: Data were collected March 29th and 30th 2020, two-weeks after COVID-19 was declared a national emergency in the United States. The sample consisted of 683 adolescents recruited using social media. A series of multiple linear regressions examined unique associations among adolescents’ motivations to engage in social distancing, social distancing behaviors, anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, burdensomeness, and belongingness. Results: The most commonly reported motivations for social distancing concerned social responsibility and not wanting others to get sick. Motivations concerning state or city lockdowns, parental rules, and social responsibility were associated with greater social distancing, whereas motivations concerning no alternatives were associated with less social distancing. Engagement in social distancing was not significantly associated with adolescents’ mental or social health. However, specific motivations for social distancing were differentially associated with adolescents’ anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, burdensomeness, and belongingness. Conclusions: Understanding adolescents’ motivations to engage in social distancing may help inform strategies to increase social distancing engagement, reduce pathogen transmission, and improve mental and social health during pandemics.
Why does local agency matter? Ownership, partnership, and decision spaces in foreign aid
Authors: King Maia
Published: April 2020

Governance institutions are crucial for growth and development, but the harm that foreign aid can do to institutions has long been documented. This paper uncovers an additional source of potential harm: ‘entangled’ decision-making with external partners. Using a realist synthesis approach to examine the locus of decision-making in aid interventions, the paper explores how entangled decision-making in aid partnerships can entail opportunity costs for domestic governance institutions, in terms of learning, accountability, legitimacy and contestation. It also explores how ambiguous definitions of ‘ownership’ and ‘partnership’ in aid reform agendas can fail to mitigate harmful power struggles. The paper presents an alternative to entangled decision-making in the ‘partnership decision space’. Donors could focus on creating an enabling environment for local actors to make decisions amongst themselves, within the ‘local decision space’.

Published: April 2020

The present study was conducted to test the use of the hemiparkinsonian rat, obtained by the unilateral
injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), as a suitable model
for the study of pain associated to Parkinson’s disease (PD). For this purpose, 14 days after unilateral
injection of saline or 6-OHDA, rats were assessed for behavioral function in the cylinder test, and
apomorphine-induced circling test. Thereafter, at 21st day after injection, mechanical nociceptive threshold
was compared between 6-OHD-lesioned and sham-operated animals using electronic von Frey test. Our
results showed that injection of 6-OHDA in the SNc induced alterations of behavioral motor as ascertained
by predominant use of the ipsilateral forepaw in cylinder test and by the expression of contralateral turnings
after subcutaneous injection of apomorphine. The mechanical nociceptive threshold was significantly
decreased in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats compared to that of sham-operated rats (p <0.05). This response was
reversed by apomorphine treatment. In conclusion, hemiparkinsonian rat, obtained by the unilateral
injection of the 6-OHDA in the SNc, can be used to investigate pain symptoms and central pain processing
mechanisms related to PD.

Ein Fass ohne Boden? Vier Jahrzehnte kommunaler Schuldenhilfen in Deutschland
Authors: Person Christian , Geißler René
Published: April 2020

Trotz Kommunalaufsicht und Finanzausgleich befinden sich viele Kommunen seit Jahrzehnten in einer Haushaltskrise. Um diese Haushaltsprobleme zu adressieren, stellten die Bundesländer wiederholt Schuldenhilfen bereit. Der Aufsatz beschreibt die Entwicklung dieser Schuldenhilfen, beginnend mit den ersten Entschuldungsmaßnahmen in den 1980ern bis hin zur flächendeckenden Verbreitung kommunaler Entschuldungsprogramme nach der globalen Finanzkrise. Anschließend werden unter Zuhilfenahme gängiger Analysekategorien der Policy- Analyse und der Neuen Institutionenökonomik Erklärungen für die unterschiedliche Ausgestaltung, Implementationszeitpunkte sowie Auswirkungen dieser Programme präsentiert. Im Hinblick auf ihre Ausgestaltungsformen werden Schuldenhilfen nach Zielen, Instrumenten und Reichweite kategorisiert. Die unterschiedliche Ausgestaltung und Implementationszeitpunkte von Entschuldungsprogrammen erklären sich primär durch variierenden sozioökonomischen Problemdruck, jeweilige politische Leitbilder und divergierende fiskalische Handlungsspielräume der Landesregierungen. In Bezug auf die Auswirkungen der Entschuldungsprogramme sind Erfolge bei Haushaltskonsolidierung und Schuldenabbau erkennbar, allerdings auf Kosten sinkender Investitionsausgaben und steigender Steuerbelastungen. Die eigentlichen Risiken liegen jedoch in der massiven Einschränkung kommunaler Selbstverwaltung.

Studies of Thermo-acoustical Properties of Polyoxyethylene (20) cetyl ether (Brij-58) in Presence of Additives at Different Temperatures
Authors: Patil B. B. , Sonawane G. H.
Published: April 2020

The measurement of ultrasonic velocity and density as a function of temperature and concentration of additives were carried out. The variation of ultrasonic velocity and density of micellar solution of Polyoxyethylene (20) cetyl ether (Brij-58, CMC= 0.0086% w/v) in the presence of polymer PVP and PEO were studied at 298.15, 303.15, 308.15 and 313.15K. Various acoustic parameters such as adiabatic compressibility (?ad), molar volume (Vm), intermolecular free length (Lf), acoustic impedance (Z) and surface tension (?) of aqueous solution of Brij-58 and Brij-58-polymer mixed solutions were derived from these data. The results were discussed on the basis of polymer-surfactant interactions and hydrophobic interaction, which in turn depends upon the structural arrangement of the linkages involved and difference in the chain which binds the hydrophobic and hydrophilic group in the studied surfactant molecule. It was noted that the ultrasound velocity decreases with increase in temperature. The decrease in the value of ?ad and Lf with increase in ultrasonic velocity indicates that there is significant interaction between the surfactant molecule and added polymer PVP and PEO.

Regional Screen Ecosystems at the Peripheries: Production and Talent Development in Tromsø and Aarhus
Authors: Chow Pei Sze , Sand Stine Agnete
Published: April 2020

This article addresses the regionalisation of screen culture in Norway and Denmark, focusing on how regional screen entities in Tromsø and Aarhus are working to professionalise production and talent development at the peripheries of both countries. We outline their distinctive characteristics and circumstances as regional hubs and delineate the key actors that constitute the respective screen ecosystems. We analyse the interplay between regional film policy, production, and talent development in relation to regional development, geography, creativity, innovation, and the economy of culture. Based on an analysis of policies, strategy documents, and interviews conducted with practitioners in Aarhus and Tromsø over the period 2014–2019, we explore the diverse strategies that these regional production hubs employ to develop and—more challengingly—retain talents in the region, and argue that despite the increased attention given to ‘diversity’ in film policy, structural and cultural obstacles remain in the way of sustainable growth.
Data-Mining and Analytics: Rising Concerns over Privacy and People’s Security
Authors: E.K. Jaisal
Published: April 2020

An individual’s privacy being sold to the corporates for customized advertisements and commercial micro-targeting is essentially a disturbing idea as one’s personal information is being commodified and marketed. It becomes dangerous and poses a threat when analytics pushes the limit further and engages in predicting the real-life activities of the people such as electoral behaviour and employs tools of political micro-targeting to manipulate the electorate. Hence, the recent developments in data science such as data-mining and analytics have become the catchwords for those concerned with the question of privacy infringements and state surveillance. The paper attempts to evaluate the potential threats to individual privacy and security when data-mining and analytics are clubbed with artificial-intelligence-powered election campaigns, surveillance mechanisms, warfare strategies, etc.

Measuring Food Insecurity Using the Food Abundance Index: Implications for Economic, Health and Social Well-Being
Authors: Murrell Audrey , Jones Ray
Published: April 2020

High levels of food insecurity signal the presence of disparities and inequities in local food access, which have been shown to negatively impact the health and well-being of individuals and communities. However, the approaches used to define and measure high food insecurity, also known as a “food desert”, vary widely across research study and intervention methodology. This paper describes the development and validation of a measurement tool called the “Food Abundance Index” (FAI) which is a scorecard for assessing levels of food insecurity across five key dimensions: access, diversity, quality, density, and affordability. A pilot study was conducted to examine levels of food insecurity in order to test the extent to which the FAI can detect food deserts. Nine neighborhoods were selected based on the demographic characteristics of communities shown to be related to food insecurity. Our findings provide evidence that the Food Abundance Index provides a robust measurement tool to assess the extent of food insecurity within a community or neighborhood. Thus, this multidimensional scorecard can be used in future research to detect levels of food insecurity within urban areas and help to bridge the gap between academics, policymakers and practitioners in this important area.

Migration to the U.S. has been associated with increased body size and obesity risk in Latinas, but results for Caribbean immigrant women are limited and inconclusive. Emerging evidence also suggests that early-life environment associations with women’s midlife body mass index (BMI) may be different for larger and smaller women, but this has not been tested within migration life-course history. We examined the associations of nativity and migration timing with midlife body size in a sample of majority Caribbean Latinas and whether these associations varied across the body size distribution. We used interview data from 787 self-identified Latinas (ages 40–65 years) and assessed overall obesity using BMI (kg/m2) and central obesity based on waist circumference (WC, cm). We used linear and quantile regression to examine the association of migration history with BMI and WC and logistic regression for the probability of obesity. Foreign birthplace, later migration age, and lower percent of life in the U.S. were associated with lower BMI and WC means and lower odds of overall and central obesity. Quantile regression showed only inverse associations in the upper quantiles of BMI and WC. For example, relative to U.S.-born women, women living <50% of their lives in the U.S. had lower BMI in the 75th BMI percentile (β = −4.10, 95% CI: −6.75, −0.81), with minimal differences in the 25th (β = 0.04, 95% CI: −1.01, 0.96) and 50th BMI percentiles (β = −1.54, 95% CI: −2.90, 0.30). Our results support that migration to and increasing time in the U.S. are associated with greater body size in midlife Latina women, with stronger influences at higher body size distribution.

Although Charlson Comorbidity Index scores (CCIS) and Elixhauser comorbidity index scores (ECIS) have been used to assess comorbidity in patients with schizophrenia, only CCIS, not ECIS, have been used to predict mortality in this population. This nationwide retrospective study investigated discriminative performance of mortality of these two scales in patients with schizophrenia. Exploiting Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database (NHRID), we identified patients diagnosed with schizophrenia discharged from hospitals between Jan 1, 1996 and Dec 31, 2007. They were followed up for subsequent death. Comorbidities presented one year prior to hospital admissions were identified and adapted to the CCIS and ECIS. Discriminatory ability was evaluated using the adjusted hazard ratio and Akaike information criterion (AIC) and Harrell’s C-statistic. We identified 58,771 discharged patients with schizophrenic disorders and followed them for a mean of 10.4 years, 16.6% of whom had died. Both ECIS and CCIS were significantly associated with mortality, but ECIS had superior discriminatory ability by a lower AIC and higher Harrell’s C-statistic (201231 vs. 201400; 0.856 vs. 0.854, respectively). ECIS had better discriminative performance in mortality risk than CCIS in patients with schizophrenic disorders. Its use may be encouraged for risk adjustment in this population.

The purpose of the present study was to compare the health behaviors, general health, and mental health of South Korean employees according to their employment status, and to examine how these associations vary across genders using the latest Korean National Examination Health and Nutrition Survey data. Logistic regression analyses were performed using employment status—permanent job, temporary job, and unemployed—as predictor variables and health-related variables as the outcome variables. Results indicated that temporary workers and the unemployed have higher odds of poor mental health regardless of gender. On the other hand, only male permanent workers were found to have a higher risk of problematic drinking compared to precarious workers and the unemployed. Meanwhile, only women showed a higher risk of current smoking in the temporary job and unemployed groups compared with permanent employees. Regarding general health, women, not men, in the temporary job group reported poorer general health (i.e., low health-related quality of life and higher self-perceived poor health) than those in other groups. These findings suggest that the development and implementation of intervention services, as well as organizational actions, need to consider differential impacts of unfavorable employment status on health issues according to gender.

A sensor is a device used to gather information registered by some biological, physical or chemical change, and then convert the information into a measurable signal. The first biosensor prototype was conceived more than a century ago, in 1906, but a properly defined biosensor was only developed later in 1956. Some of them have reached the commercial stage and are routinely used in environmental and agricultural applications, and especially, in clinical laboratory and industrial analysis, mostly because it is an economical, simple and efficient instrument for the in situ detection of the bioavailability of a broad range of environmental pollutants. We propose a narrative review, that found 32 papers and aims to discuss the possible uses of biosensors, focusing on their use in the area of occupational safety and health (OSH).

The sagittal spinal morphology presents 4 physiological curvatures that increase endurance to axial compression forces and allow adequate postural balance. These curves must remain within normal ranges to achieve a static and dynamic balance, a correct functioning of the muscles and an adequate distribution of the loads, and thus minimize the injury risk. The purpose of this study was to categorize the sagittal spinal alignment according to the different morphotypes obtained for each curve in standing, slump sitting, and trunk forward bending positions in schoolchildren. It was a cross-sectional study. Sagittal spinal curvatures were assessed in 731 students from 16 elementary schools. In the sagittal standing position assessment, 70.45% and 89.06% of schoolchildren presented a “normal” morphotype for both dorsal and lumbar curves, respectively. After the application of the “Sagittal Integral Morphotype” protocol according to the morphotypes obtained in the three positions assessment (standing, slump sitting, and trunk forward bending), it was observed how the frequency of normal morphotypes for the dorsal and lumbar curve decreased considerably (only 32% and 6.6% of children obtained a “normal sagittal integral morphotype” for the thoracic and lumbar curvatures, respectively). These results show how it is necessary to include the slump sitting and trunk forward bending assessment as part of the protocol to define the “integral” sagittal alignment of the spine and establish a correct diagnosis. The use of the diagnostic classification presented in this study will allow early detection of misalignment not identified with the assessment of standing position.
An Evolutionary Game Model for the Multi-Agent Co-Governance of Agricultural Non-Point Source Pollution Control under Intensive Management Pattern in China

Published: April 2020

This paper focuses on the sustainable development dilemma of agricultural production in China under the pattern of intensive management, which is seriously challenged by agricultural non-point source pollution. The key to effectively break through the dilemma is to promote the co-governance of agricultural non-point source pollution control by stakeholders including local governments, new agricultural operators and traditional farmers. Accordingly, this paper discusses the interactive decision-making relationships between new agricultural operators and traditional farmers under the guidance of local governments, by constructing a trilateral evolutionary game model, as well as analyzing evolutionary cooperative stability strategies and realizing the simulation of evolution processes in different scenarios by MATLAB. The results show that new agricultural operators play a leading role in agricultural non-point source pollution control, whose strategies have effects such as technology spillover. The rewards from the superior government will support local governments in taking proactive action in the co-governance of agricultural non-point source pollution control, and then local governments can offer technical support and subsidies to new agricultural operators and traditional farmers for reducing their costs. Furthermore, this paper also finds that there are green synergy effects among the groups, where the variations of parameters and strategies by one group would affect the two others. Additionally, agricultural land operation rights transfers would cause traditional farmers to take more time to cooperate in the co-governance of agricultural non-point source pollution control. In order to promote the multi-agent co-governance of agricultural non-point source pollution control under intensive management pattern, this paper suggests that it should be necessary to reduce their costs and improve incentives, as well as to increase the common interests among groups and enhance their green synergy effects.
