Comparative Study on the Evaluation of Healthy City Construction in Typical Chinese Cities Based on Statistical Data and Land Use Data
Authors: Lv Zhuoran , Guo Huadong , Zhang Lu , Liang Dong
Published: February 2022

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations propose to “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”, and to achieve this goal requires that countries strengthen their capacity to manage health risks. As a concept to describe urban construction, advocated by the World Health Organization, healthy cities can effectively solve the contradictions existing along the current urban development path at a macro level. A healthy city is a sustainable city that interacts with its environment, economy, population, services, and space, and realizes the well-being of its population from all perspectives. The construction of a healthy city is an important part of the transformation of Chinese urbanization. This article refers to the index systems of domestic and foreign government agencies, along with a literature research, to construct a healthy city evaluation index that takes into account the five aspects of environment, economy, population, service, and space, and selects Beijing (a policy-oriented city), Shanghai (an economy-oriented city), Nanchang (an industry-oriented city), Guiyang (a tourism-oriented city), Datong (resource-oriented city) as five cities according to type of urban development, using the entire-array-polygon method to analyze the construction level of these cities in terms of environment, economy, population, service, space and overall state of health from 2014 to 2018 based on statistical and land use data. The results of the study found that, in general, the construction of healthy cities in China currently experiences large year-to-year fluctuations and significant differences between cities. The construction and development of healthy cities are also closely related to factors such as urban economic strength, social welfare, and policy support.
Classes of Balanced Gain-and-Loss Waveguides as Non-Hermtian Potential Hierarchies
Authors: Bocanegra Ivan , Cruz y Cruz Sara
Published: February 2022

In this work, we report the construction of different classes of complex-valued refractive index landscapes, with real spectra, in the framework of the factorization method. The particular case of guiding hyperbolic-type profiles is considered in the PT- and non-PT-symmetric configurations. In both schemes, the imaginary part of the refractive index satisfies the zero-total-area condition indicating that the total transverse optical power is preserved, allowing stable propagating modes to be obtained. The spectra and the guided modal field amplitudes are obtained and their orthogonality relations are established.
Statistical Damage Model of Rock Structural Plane Considering Void Compaction and Failure Modes
Authors: Hu Bin , Zhang Zhen , Li Jing , Xiao Huiping , Wang Zeqi
Published: February 2022

The shear behavior of rock structural planes contains various symmetry laws, and the shear failure can be considered as an asymmetric state of the rock and rock mass. The study of shear deformation and the failure of rock structural planes plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and stability of engineered rock masses. In view of the inability of traditional shear constitutive models to describe the non-linear characteristics of the dilatancy stage and the single applicable failure form, firstly, we discuss, in depth, the law and mechanism of shear deformation and failure of structural planes, and introduce the compaction index α to measure the non-linear characteristics of shear stress–shear displacement caused by compaction of microcracks and internal pores of structural planes, and the structural plane damage model, considering the void compaction and failure mode, was established. Then, the statistical damage theory was introduced, and the strength and failure of the microunits of the rock structural plane were assumed to obey the Weibull distribution. Based on the Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion to measure the strength of the microunits of the rock structure surface, a statistical damage model of structural planes, which can describe void compaction and failure modes, was established. Finally, a comparative analysis was carried out with the test curve, and the results showed that: the calculation curve of the structural plane statistical damage model established, considering the void compaction and failure modes, has the same trend as the structural plane shear test curve, which can better describe the shear stress– shear displacement at the dilatancy stage, as well as the shearing stage and sliding stage in different failure modes. The changing law of shear displacement reflects the rationality and accuracy of the constructed constitutive model. The research results can provide a theoretical basis for the shear deformation and failure of rock structural planes.
Formation Mechanisms and Characteristics of the Marine Nepheloid Layer: A Review
Authors: Tian Zhuangcai , Liu Yang , Zhang Xiaojiang , Zhang Yan , Zhang Mingwei
Published: February 2022

Marine nepheloid layer is widely distributed in the oceans and marginal seas. The concentration of suspended particles in the nepheloid layer is significantly higher than that of the adjacent layers. Marine nepheloid layers include the surface nepheloid layer (SNL), intermediate nepheloid layer (INL), and bottom nepheloid layer (BNL). As a transport pathway for the particulate matter in the oceans, nepheloid layer is important to the carbon cycle and the source–sink system at the continental margin. This paper focused on the characteristics of the marine nepheloid layer and the mechanism of internal solitary waves that form INL and BNL, providing a reference for further research on the marine ecological environment dynamic process and source–sink system. BNL is formed by suspended seabed sediments with strong currents near the bottom, but the fate of BNL remains unknown. Marine nepheloid layer significantly affects the transportation of materials within the ocean. The transport of sediments by ISWs dramatically affects the formation of deep seabed sedimentary landform. However, the formation process and the transport contribution of INL and BNL are still unclear. The systematic and long-term research on the marine nepheloid layer in the world oceans is still limited.
Agricultural Water Utilization Efficiency in China: Evaluation, Spatial Differences, and Related Factors
Authors: Liu Kai , Xue Yuting , Lan Yu , Fu Yuxuan
Published: February 2022

Agricultural water utilization efficiency (AWUE) reflects the rational utilization of water resources in agricultural production. Improving AWUE is important for both improving the levels of agricultural production and reducing consumption of water resources, and it is significant to explore the spatial differences between different cities and regions and the various factors related to AWUE, both theoretically and practically. The AWUE of totally 281 cities at the prefecture level or above in China between 2003 and 2018 was evaluated using the super-efficiency slacks-based measure (SBM). The spatial differences in AWUE were simulated by exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA), and the various factors affecting AWUE were simulated using the graphical statistical tool, Geodetector. The results of this study are as follows: (1) The mean value of AWUE across the country was merely 0.23 when it registered a record high in 2018, indicating that the AWUE in China was low; (2) AWUE showed significant spatial differences judging from the results of ESDA, and the low-low type was the principal spatial type, which was distributed mainly in the North China Plain and the Loess Plateau; and (3) agricultural technology was the main factor affecting AWUE.
Integrating Blue and Green Water to Identify Matching Characteristics of Agricultural Water and Land Resources in China
Authors: Geng Qingling , Liu Hongling , He Xiaohui , Tian Zhihui
Published: February 2022

The uneven distribution and spatial mismatch between water and land resources (WLR) limit the utilization efficiency of agricultural water and land resources (AWLR), and then pose a threat to food production. There is a critical need to understand their matching characteristics for strategic resource allocation decisions and management. In this study, a holistic index (RSI) derived from resource equivalency analysis (REA) was developed which contributed to examine the abundance or deficiency of agricultural water and land resources (AWLR) based on the conception of generalized water resources (including blue water and green water). Results indicate that the matching degree of AWLR was the lowest in Northeast China, North China and Gansu in Northwest China, while the highest value was in Xinjiang due to the higher blue water use. In north China, other provinces suffered water scarcity except in Jilin, Liaoning, Henan, while all provinces in south China suffered land scarcity except in Tibet and Jiangsu. Meanwhile, the matching of AWLR was not exactly consistent with the distribution pattern of precipitation. The higher proportion of green water resources was not located in southeast China with rich precipitation; it had to do with water management. Too much or little water resources can result in the increasing of blue water use. The proposed approach can be a powerful instrument to implement public policies and management strategy as an attempt to improve the utilization efficiency and enhance the optimize-allocation of AWLR.

Published: February 2022

A phytoremediation experiment was carried out with kerosene as a model for total petroleum hydrocarbons. A constructed wetland of barley was exposed to kerosene pollutants at varying concentrations (1, 2, and 3% v/v) in a subsurface flow (SSF) system. After a period of 42 days of exposure, it was found that the average ability to eliminate kerosene ranged from 56.5% to 61.2%, with the highest removal obtained at a kerosene concentration of 1% v/v. The analysis of kerosene at varying initial concentrations allowed the kinetics of kerosene to be fitted with the Grau model, which was closer than that with the zero order, first order, or second order kinetic models. The experimental study showed that the barley plant designed in a subsurface flow phytoremediation system would have great potential for the reclamation of kerosene-contaminated water.

Published: February 2022

Arsenic poses a danger to environmental health, and arsenic-rich groundwater is a key exposure risk for humans. The distribution, migration, and enrichment of arsenic in groundwater is an important environmental and public health problem. Currently, the Huaihe River Basin is identified as a region of arsenic-rich groundwater in China. This study aims to assess arsenic-rich groundwater potential pollution risk, analyze the hydrogeochemical processes, and trace the ion source based on an analysis of groundwater hydrogeochemical data. The results show that arsenic is the main inorganic chemical substances affecting the water quality in the study area, which presents a high exposure risk for public health. The arsenic concentration of groundwater was f 5.75 ± 5.42 μg/L, and 23% of the considered samples exceeded the drinking water standards of the World Health Organization. The groundwater in the study area underwent evaporation, halite dissolution, and ion exchange processes. The total alkalinity (HCO3−) of the arsenic-rich groundwater mainly ranged between 400–700 mg/L, and the chemical type was mainly of HCO3-Na. In an alkaline environment, the oxidative dissolution and reductive dissolution of arsenic bearing minerals might be the formation mechanism of arsenic-rich groundwater.

Authors: BAYİR Tuba , GÜRCAN Safa
Published: February 2022

This study was aimed to understand the spatial and seasonal epidemiology of Newcastle disease (ND) in Türkiye using the outbreak data between 2017-2019 and also to calculate the case-fatality rates of this disease. It was also aimed to produce the maps by using Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Data were obtained from the World Animal Health Information System (WAHIS) database of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). Total number of 220 outbreaks of ND were registered in 47 provinces of Türkiye between this years. Accordingly, 88,372 poultry birds transmitted the disease. The highest number of ND outbreaks, cases and deaths was reported in The Black Sea Region. According to the regions there was a statistically significant difference in the number of outbreaks (P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in terms of cases and deaths (P>0.05). On the other hand the highest number of ND outbreaks, cases and deaths was reported in the spring season. As a result of the comparisons according to the seasons, there was a statistically significant difference in the number of deaths (P<0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference in terms of outbreaks and cases (P>0.05). The spatial and seasonal distributions identified in this study should be taken into account while attempting to control the disease. Also, it is thought that the creation of spatial maps based on ND outbreaks that are common in Türkiye will contribute to the determination of the areas where precautions should be taken against the disease.

This study aims to examine and analyze the rule of law, law enforcement and the factors constraining the police in the case of illegal arrests at the North Sumatra Regional Police. This research is a normative juridical law research which is descriptive analytical using a statute approach. The data collection method was carried out through field research (field research), and analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study that law enforcement against investigators mentioned illegal ones based on Perkap No. 14 of 2011 concerning the Professional Code of Ethics of the Indonesian National Police, because until now there is no law that regulates sanctions for investigators who make wrong arrests. The factors faced are that there are no clear rules regarding legal sanctions for sanctions that apply to pre-trial, unclear ethical regulations against illegal sanctions, superiors who are less supportive so that they are not firm in enforcing sanctions, solidarity among members of the police to protect each other even though made a mistake in the application, the intervention of another party intentionally hinders the enforcement process of an illegal examination.
Identificación de microrrestos botánicos en vasijas guaraníes de la cuenca del río Paraná (Argentina)
Authors: Costa Angrizani Rodrigo , Colobig M. de los Milagros , Zucol Alejandro F.
Published: February 2022

Tradicionalmente, en la literatura arqueológica se ha considerado a la agricultura en pequeña escala como un componente central del modo de vida de las poblaciones guaraníes que ocuparon la cuenca del río de La Plata. Esta asociación se fundamentó en la información extraída de documentos históricos coloniales y de investigaciones etnográficas. A pesar de la importancia atribuida a la práctica agrícola en el contexto de las ocupaciones identificadas con la tradición guaraní son escasos los estudios sobre evidencias botánicas provenientes del registro arqueológico. En este trabajo se presentan los análisis de microrrestos silíceos y de almidón provenientes de vasijas cerámicas de la tradición guaraní de la cuenca del río Paraná almacenadas en el Depósito 25 de la División Arqueología del Museo de La Plata (Argentina). Se tomaron muestras de 14 piezas provenientes del Delta (sitios Río Paraná Miní y Arroyo Fredes) y del Alto río Paraná. Los resultados demostraron la presencia de microfósiles de sílice tales como los gaminoides, podostemoides y elementos dicotiledóneos, así como cuerpos de almidón, que permitieron identificar granos relacionados con Zea mays y Phaselous sp. Se observó, además, la relación entre algunos morfotipos y determinadas tipologías alfareras. En este sentido se destaca que los residuos orgánicos se encontraron preferentemente en vasijas asociadas con el almacenamiento, la fermentación y el servicio de bebidas.

La gestión y apropiación de un sitio arqueológico con arte rupestre, el caso de la Presa de la Luz, Jalisco, México
Authors: Rodríguez Mota Francisco Manuel , Esparza López Rodrigo , Yoshida Teruaki , Rétiz García Mario
Published: February 2022

Los sitios arqueológicos con arte rupestre son quizá los más vulnerables para su conservación y protección, más aún cuando estos se encuentran dentro de zonas urbanizadas o cercanos a asentamientos humanos modernos. El caso del sitio arqueológico de La Presa de la Luz, en el Municipio de Jesús María (Jalisco, México) no es la excepción. Su estudio por más de 10 años de trabajo continuo nos ha llevado a replantear la tarea de su conservación, a través de una metodología de apropiación y sensibilización con las poblaciones cercanas y su relación con el medio ambiente que los rodea. El sitio tiene un vínculo muy cercano entre el pasado y el presente, debido a que muchos de los grabados rupestres se encuentran junto a las viviendas actuales, a la vera de los caminos, empotrados en las iglesias y, especialmente, en las estribaciones de la presa. En este sentido, este trabajo buscará abordar los procesos de intervención y las estrategias de protección corresponsables, teniendo en cuenta la magnitud de la evidencia arqueológica, que ocupa un área superior a las 500 ha de terreno y registra más de 1.200 petroglifos.

Published: February 2022

Микрофлора полости рта представляет собой высокочувствительную индикаторную систему, реагирующую качественными и количественными сдвигами на изменения состояния различных органов и систем человеческого организма в целом. Постоянство микробного состава ротовой полости поддерживается благодаря свойству нормальной микрофлоры противостоять патогенным и условно-патогенным микроорганизмам. При генерализованном пародонтите в содержимом пародонтальных карманов отмечается резкое снижение количества лактобактерий. Возникает дисбактериоз, выраженность которого соответствует степени тяжести поражения пародонта. В связи с этим перспективным направлением в разработке новых методов комплексного лечения пародонтита является использование бактерийных препаратов, действующим началом которых являются штаммы представителей нормальной микрофлоры.Цель. Изучение влияния метода лечения хронического пародонтита, включающего использование отечественного пробиотика и низкоинтенсивного лазерного излучения, на содержание лактобактерий в содержимом пародонтальных карманов.Материалы и методы. Объектом исследования явились 100 пациентов с диагнозом «хронический генерализованный периодонтит» средней и среднетяжелой степени тяжести.Результаты. Включение в состав комплексного лечения пациентов с хроническим пародонтитом на фоне соматической патологии местного применения отечественного пробиотика в сочетании с низкоинтенсивным лазерным излучением способствует нормализации микроэкологии пародонтальных карманов.

The microflora of the oral cavity is a highly sensitive indicator system that reacts with qualitative and quantitative shifts to changes in the state of various organs and systems of the human body as a whole. The constancy of the microbial composition of the oral cavity is maintained due to the property of normal microflora to resist pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms. With generalized periodontitis, a sharp decrease in the number of lactobacilli is noted in the contents of periodontal pockets. Dysbiosis occurs, the severity of which corresponds to the severity of periodontal lesions. In this regard, a promising direction in the development of new methods ofcomplex treatment of periodontitis is the use of bacterial preparations, the active principle of which are strains of representatives of normal microflora.The aim of the study was to study the effect of the method of treating chronic periodontitis, including the use of a probiotic and low-intensity laser radiation, on the content of lactobacilli in the contents of periodontal pockets.Materials and methods. The object of the study was 100 patients diagnosed with chronic generalized periodontitis of moderate and moderate severity.Results. The inclusion in the complex treatment of patients with chronic periodontitis against the background of somatic pathology of local application of the probiotic in combination with low-intensity laser radiation contributes to the normalization of the microecology of periodontal pockets.

Introduction. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. According to the European Society of Cardiology, "...more than 4 million people die each year from CVDs, of which 1.4 million are under 75 years old, accounting for 45% of all deaths...". According to major research centres, cardiovascular mortality (CVD) is more common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) than in the general population.Purpose. To assess carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) as an early predictor of atherosclerosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Materials and methods. The study included 89 patients with RA aged 35–60 years. Carotid artery IMT was determined by B-mode Doppler.Results. The analysis of the results obtained by determining the intima-media complex (IMC) thickness of the common carotid artery in patients with RA was 0.98±0.18 mm in the right carotid artery and 1.01±0.18 mm in the left carotid artery. An abnormal increase in this index (>0.9 mm) was detected in more than half of the patients in the study – 49 (55.1%) cases, and the CMR was 1.13±0.07 mm in the right carotid artery and 1.16±0.07 mm in the left carotid artery.Conclusion. Evaluation of carotid artery IMT parameters as an early predictor of atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis patients allows timely assessment of cardiovascular risk and development of preventive and treatment measures.

На фоне улучшения чувствительности лабораторных методов детекции сердечных тропонинов (cTn) открылись новые диагностические возможности для их применения в клинической практике. Новые высокочувствительные методы определения тропонинов (hs-cTn) позволяют выявлять даже самые незначительные повреждения кардиомиоцитов при многих сердечных и системных заболеваниях, и степень повышения hs-cTn, как правило, имеет значительную диагностическую и/или прогностическую ценность. Многие из таких заболеваний, в частности артериальная гипертензия (АГ), могут протекать латентно и в последующем часто приводить к возникновению ряда опасных и тяжелых осложнений в виде острого инфаркта миокарда, сердечной недостаточности, инсульта и др. Поэтому раннее выявление пациентов с АГ, имеющих повышенный риск возникновения данных осложнений, будет иметь большое значение для улучшения лечебно-профилактических мероприятий в клинической практике. В данной статье подробно обсуждаются возможность использования и диагностическое значение повышенных уровней hs-cTn в биологических жидкостях у пациентов, страдающих АГ. Отдельное внимание уделено механизмам повышения hs-cTn при АГ в биологических жидкостях человека.

Against the background of improving the sensitivity of laboratory methods for detecting cardiac troponins (cTn), new diagnostic opportunities have opened up for their use in clinical practice. New highly sensitive methods for determining troponins (hs-cTn) make it possible to detect even the most insignificant damage to cardiomyocytes in many cardiac and systemic diseases, and the degree of increase in hs-cTn, as a rule, has significant diagnostic and/or prognostic value. Many of these diseases, in particular arterial hypertension (AH), can occur latently and subsequently often lead to a number of dangerous and severe complications in the form of acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke and others. Therefore, earlier identification of patients with hypertension who have an increased risk of these complications will be important for improving therapeutic and preventive measures in clinical practice. This article discusses in detail the possibility of using and the diagnostic value of elevated levels of hs-cTn in biological fluids in patients suffering from AH. Special attention is paid to the mechanisms of increasing hs-cTn in hypertension in human biological fluids.
Texture of airport pavements in terms of their drainage efficiency

Abstract: Characteristics of the drainage of the surface movement area of airports, and more precisely the rapid drainage of water from the surface, is the main safety factor taken into account at the stage of designing, building, and maintaining the movement area and adjacent areas. Drainage of water from the pavement is a basic requirement and serves to reduce the thickness of the water layer on the surface. Adequate drainage is ensured primarily by surfaces with a suitable slope, both longitudinally and transversely (natural water drainage). On the other hand, dynamic drainage is achieved through the texture of the pavement. The paper presents the results of research on the texture of airport pavements and their analysis in relation to the current requirements. In the tests, apart from the currently used point measurement method, an innovative method of assessing anti-skid properties was used, which allowed for the simultaneous measurement of the friction coefficient µ and a new coefficient of continuous mean profile depth and CMPTD texture. The obtained results allowed us to present conclusions that when assessing the texture of airport pavements and thus designing structural solutions in terms of their drainage, it is reasonable to take into account the technology of its implementation (cement concrete or asphalt concrete). Keywords: Drainage of airport pavements; Texture of airport pavements; Safety of air operations

Published: February 2022

This research aims to find an answer to the ongoing debate about the effectiveness of online learning. In this study, students’ academic performance based on continuous assessments and examination results were the indicator of effectiveness in learning. Descriptive analysis was used to compare students’ academic performance in grade point average (GPA) calculation in traditional face-to-face assessments and online assessments. Researchers also interested to find out about the attitudes of students and lecturers towards assessments in these two modes. Hence, a set of questionnaire is prepared with questions related to user’s experience, perceptions and preference while comparing traditional face-to-face assessments and online assessments. Findings from this study showed better academic performance in grade point average calculation where online assessments were conducted. Students’ responses in the questionnaire indicated online assessments are easier to do and easier to score; online assessments encourage independent learning and majority prefer online assessments. However, lecturers’ responses in the questionnaire indicated otherwise; higher percentages of lecturers preferred traditional face-to-face assessments to online assessments. From lecturers’ point of view, the traditional face-to-face assessments are fairer and less opportunity for cheating, hence, they are more confident in students’ answers and the results would reflect more accurately students’ actual learning achieved. This study concluded that online platform is an effective tool of learning and is well received and preferred among students.
