Transportation Network Density, Domestic Market Integration and Excess Sensitivity of Household Consumption
Authors: Chen Taiming , Qi Yingfei , Du Liangsheng 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
From the perspective of domestic market integration, this paper systematically examines the impact of transportation infrastructure conditions on excess sensitivity of household consumption based on the China Family Panel Survey (CFPS) and multi-level matching panel data of transportation network density. The results show that the fast-growing development of the transportation infrastructure network has a significant alleviating effect on excess sensitivity of household consumption along the route, and the conclusion is still robust after the use of the multi-dimensional instrumental variable method and a series of robustness tests. According to the heterogeneity tests, in terms of the alleviating effect of transportation infrastructure, railroads rank the first, highways the second, substandard roads the third, waterways the fourth, and roads of other grades at the bottom. The mechanism test reveals that the improvement of domestic market integration is an important channel for transportation infrastructure to alleviate excess sensitivity of household consumption. This paper confirms that improving the transportation infrustructure system is conducive to the construction of a unified national market, alleviating excess sensitivity of consumption and stimulating consumption.This paper provides suggestions for implementing the strategy of boosting domestic demand, and helps the government understand households’ consumption decision-making from a broader perspective. This study also provides a theoretical basis for the economic spillover effect of transportation infrastructure.
Kähler–Einstein metrics on families of Fano varieties
Authors: Pan Chung-Ming , Trusiani Antonio 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Given a one-parameter family of ℚ-Fano varieties such that the central fiber admits a unique Kähler–Einstein metric, we provide an analytic method to show that the neighboring fiber admits a unique Kähler–Einstein metric.
Our results go beyond by establishing uniform a priori estimates on the Kähler–Einstein potentials along fully degenerate families of ℚ-Fano varieties.
In addition, we show the continuous variation of these Kähler–Einstein currents and establish uniform Moser–Trudinger inequalities and uniform coercivity of the Ding functionals.
Central to our article is introducing and studying a notion of convergence for quasi-plurisubharmonic functions within families of normal Kähler varieties.
We show that the Monge–Ampère energy is upper semi-continuous with respect to this topology, and we establish a Demailly–Kollár result for functions with full Monge–Ampère mass.
Comparison of the effectiveness of prepubertal growth hormone treatment on height and predicted adult height in children with short stature born small for gestational age vs. with a growth hormone deficiency

Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objectives
We compared the effects of growth hormone (GH) treatment on height and predicted adult height in children with short stature born small for gestational age (SGA-SS) vs. with a growth hormone deficiency (GHD).

Methods
This retrospective study analyzed the background and clinical characteristics of children who presented to Tanaka Growth Clinic for short stature and were diagnosed with either SGA-SS or GHD and underwent treatment with GH. We compared differences in height, height velocity, GH dose increases, insulin-like growth factor-1 levels, and bone-age/chronological-age ratio between the two groups.

Results
Out of these children, 33 SGA-SS and 54 GHD children started GH treatment before the age of 8 years, with a mean dose of 0.25 mg/kg/week and 0.20 mg/kg/week, respectively. At treatment initiation, the age and height standard deviation scores (SDS) of the SGA-SS group were significantly lower than those of the GHD group. The height velocity was significantly greater in the SGA-SS group for 3 years owing to higher GH doses and younger age. No notable differences in puberty onset height or predicted adult height were observed between the two groups for boys or girls. The increase in height SDS from the start of GH treatment until the onset of puberty was substantially greater in the SGA-SS group than in the GHD group for both sexes.

Conclusions
Adult height of patients with SGA-SS is expected to resemble that of patients with GHD but may not reach the −1.0 SD achieved with GH treatment of those patients in Western countries.
Graduate Education in China Meets AI: Key Factors for Adopting AI-Generated Content Tools
Authors: Tang Yunjie , Su Li 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Factors influencing Chinese graduate students’ adoption of AI-generated content (AIGC) tools are examined through partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The developed AIGCT-SI model incorporates key elements such as information accuracy, trust, and privacy concerns. PLS-SEM results indicate that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, and habit significantly impact students’ intentions, with trust acting as a key mediator, particularly for privacy concerns and social influence. FsQCA reveals seven configurations, demonstrating how combinations of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and facilitating conditions drive adoption. A bidirectional relationship between privacy concerns and trust is observed, with trust mitigating privacy risks in several configurations. This integrative approach highlights the complex dynamics of AIGC tool adoption and provides strategic insights for their effective use in Chinese graduate education. As the findings are based on the Chinese context, further exploration in other educational settings is encouraged to validate their broader applicability.
Temporal muscle thickness is not a prognostic predictor in patients with high-grade glioma, an experience at two centers in China

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Temporal muscle thickness (TMT) serves as an indicator of sarcopenia and holds predictive value for various cancers. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic significance of TMT for high-grade glioma patients. A retrospective review of 172 high-grade glioma patients from January 2015 to December 2022 was conducted. TMT value was measured based on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance images before surgery. Pearson analysis was used to evaluate potential correlations. Cox regression analysis was performed to evaluate overall survival for high-grade glioma patients. In our study, the cutoff value of TMT was determined as 7.4 mm. TMT value was not a significant prognostic predictor for high-grade glioma patients (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.151, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.9299–1.424, p = 0.196). World Health Organization (WHO) VI and high body mass index (BMI) value were significantly associated with poorer survival outcomes (HR: 2.6689, 95% CI: 1.5729–4.528, p < 0.001; HR: 1.120, 95% CI: 1.0356–1.211, p = 0.005). TMT did not show a significant association with other factors (p > 0.05). Notably, age demonstrated a significant difference between the thicker and thinner groups (p = 0.019). Our study revealed that WHO grade and BMI demonstrated significant prognostic value for survival outcomes. Consequently, TMT does not appear to be a significant or applicable predictor in patients with high WHO grades.

Abstract
The concept of sustainable agricultural development is aimed at reducing the use of chemical pest control agents. Since the use of chemical pesticides poses a significant environmental threat, one of the possible solutions to overcome this problem is the study of biological approaches, in particular, the use of entomopathogenic microorganisms as biological pest control agents. Insecticidal activity of over 220 strains of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and Lysinibacillus sphaericus from the collection of the Laboratory of Spore-Forming Microorganisms of the Microbial Depository Center of the Scientific and Production Center “Armbiotechnology” and 15 strains isolated from samples of dead insects (imago) of representatives of various genera of the Coleoptera order was studied. The pathogenic effect of the strains was assessed in relation to the insect species Tenebrio molitor, Zophobas morio, Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say and Pieris brassicae, belonging to the Coleoptera and Lepidoptera orders. Among the test objects, the representative of Lepidoptera Pieris brassicae demonstrated the highest degree of sensitivity to B. thuringiensis strains up to 100%, with some Bt strains causing 60–100% mortality of Tenebrio molitor and Zophobas morio larvae of different ages. The larvae of the beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say were also partially susceptible, presenting mortality levels of between 31 and 60%. The article is devoted to the study of Bt bacterial strains that have pronounced insecticidal activity against insect larvae of the orders Coleoptera and Lepidoptera.
Advanced Ancient Steelmaking Across the Arctic European Landscape
Authors: Bennerhag Carina , Söderholm Kristina 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article presents results that seriously challenge conventional frameworks regarding the time, course, and cultural context of the introduction of iron and steel in Europe, in turn central metals in the narrative of civilization development. From focusing on 2,000-year-old finds from 42 different sites across the national borders of present-day northernmost Norway, Finland, and Sweden, our study reveals advanced iron and steel production contemporaneous with Roman steel production within the hitherto unthinkable cultural context of hunter-gatherers. By employing archaeometric analyses alongside a lens that considers the Arctic climate and landscape, long-standing inadequate interpretative frameworks are challenged and we manage to shed novel light on the metallurgical practices and skills of the ancient Arctic hunter-gatherers. By examining local conditions, the research specifically reveals adaptation strategies and previously underexplored social and organizational aspects of early ironmaking. The implications of these findings are profound, urging historians and archaeologists to adopt similar methods and perspectives to potentially uncover additional “unthinkable” locations/regions or contexts with advanced and early metalworking.
Order shaped by cognition. Evidence for (and against) the effect of domain-general biases on word and morpheme order
Authors: Culbertson Jennifer 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
A foundational goal of linguistics has been to understand why languages look the way they do. A range of possible explanations exist – from domain-specific representations to cognition-external factors like history and grammaticalization – and all of these undoubtedly play some role. But determining exactly how these link with specific features of language remains challenging, and the role of domain-specific mechanisms has been particularly contentious. In this paper, I highlight a growing new approach, which uses artificial language experiments to link individual-level biases to cross-linguistic trends in language structure. Using word and morpheme order as case studies, I will show how a range of different paradigms and learner populations allow us to make progress on this crucial issue in linguistics. I will focus on typological trends in word and morpheme order. For some ordering trends, experimental evidence points to variation across populations, suggesting that the best explanation for these patterns likely has its root in language history and grammaticalization. In other cases, the evidence points to the role of universal but domain-general cognitive biases, like transparency and simplicity. These domain-general biases interact with linguistic representations in important ways. Taken together these studies help adjudicate between alternative explanations for a number of specific ordering patterns and suggest a new sense of domain-specificity in the evolution of language.

Searching for the optimum Pt loading in bimetallic PtXNi/SBA-15 catalysts for hydrodeoxygenation
Authors: Pérez-Estrada Daniel E. , Suárez-Méndez Alejandro , Betancourt-Aldana Monica , Molina-Conde Luis H. , González-Zavala Fernando , Huerta Lázaro , Bokhimi Xim , Klimova Tatiana E. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractBimetallic PtXNi5/SBA-15 catalysts with 5 wt% Ni and X = 0.1–2.0 wt% Pt were synthesized and characterized. The XPS characterization of bimetallic catalysts showed the presence of oxide Ni2+, Pt2+ and reduced Pt0 species in the calcined catalysts. After the reduction, metallic Ni0 appeared in addition to the above-mentioned species. The proportions of the reduced Ni and Pt increased with increasing Pt content in the catalysts. The presence of metal species of different oxidation states at the Ni–Pt interface was crucial for their catalytic performance in the hydrodeoxygenation of anisole. The Pt0.5Ni5/SBA-15 catalyst was the most active and selective.

Influence of Windowing and Overlapping on Kurtosis Value of Non-Gaussian IFFT Signals Generated by Shaker Controllers
Authors: Steinwolf Alexander 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This paper concerns random vibration testing on electrodynamic shakers, which is specified by prescribing the power spectral density (PSD) of the generated excitation and its kurtosis if the latter needs to be higher or lower than that provided by the PSD simulation on its own. A special procedure of windowing and overlapping considered in this paper is performed by shaker controllers based on inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) in order to suppress discontinuities at data block boundaries and to introduce randomness into the initially generated periodic IFFT signal. The windowing operation is the same as in random signal analysis, but, combined with the overlapping, it affects the initial kurtosis value of the generated data blocks. This kurtosis transformation is discussed, and the relationship between input and output kurtosis values is proved to be linear. A precise algebraic equation for the output kurtosis has been derived for the Hann window function with various overlapping numbers. Numerical examples of signal time histories with high kurtosis after windowing and overlapping are demonstrated.
ПРОБЛЕМЫ КВАЛИФИКАЦИИ ДИСТРИБЬЮТОРСКОГО ДОГОВОРА КАК ВИД ТОРГОВОЙ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ В РОССИЙСКОМ ПРАВЕ
Authors: А.И. Муромцев 
Published: October 2024

В статье рассматриваются проблемы, связанные с определением правовой квалификации дистрибьюторского договора, места дистрибьюторского договора в качестве самостоятельного вида договора, выделением его среди непоименованных договоров. В современной экономической среде проблемы квалификации дистрибьюторского договора остаются актуальными, поскольку отсутствие правового регулирования дистрибьюторского договора создает правовую неопределенность в правовом статусе участников дистрибьюторской деятельности, препятствует развитию торговых отношений между участниками рынка, является причиной конфликтов интересов и негативных последствий для субъектов дистрибьюторских отношений, вызывает правовые споры. Изучение проблемы квалификации дистрибьюторского договора в российском праве обусловлено необходимостью разработки четкого правового регулирования данного гражданско-правового договора с целью устранения коллизий в гражданском праве, обеспечения единообразия судебной практики, защиты прав сторон соглашения, улучшения договорной и правоприменительной практики.
The current article examines the issues related to defining the legal qualification of distribution agreement, determines the place of the distribution agreement as an independent type of contract, and highlights it among unnamed contracts. In the modern economic environment, the problems of qualification of the distribution agreement remain relevant. The absence of legal regulation of the distribution agreement creates legal uncertainty in the legal status of the distribution activity parties, hinders the development of trade relations between market participants, causes conflicts of interest and negative consequences for the entities of distributorship relations, causes legal disputes. The study of qualification problem of distribution agreement in Russian law results from the need to develop a clear legal regulation of this civil-legal contract in order to eliminate conflicts of civil law, ensure uniformity of judicial practice, protect the rights of parties of agreement, improve contractual and enforcement practices.

Published: October 2024

Background: The study assessed the perception of parents on barriers and facilitators treatment outcomes among children and adolescents attending psychotherapy services in a primary health care centre.
Methods: A cross sectional descriptive study using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative method used retrospective review of records of 65 children and adolescent clients who accessed psychotherapy services between January 2022 and December 2023 at Port Loyola Health Centre in Belize city. The qualitative method used in-depth interviews of twenty parents of the patients randomly selected from the clinic registers. Univariate and bivariate analyses was used for the quantitative data while thematic analysis was used for the qualitative data.
Results: 25 (38.5%) of the patients completed their treatment and 34 (52.3%) dropped out, with half dropped out after the first visit. The identified parental perceived barriers and facilitators are organized into four main themes. The first theme was related to knowledge and understanding of mental health problems by the parents which showed that respondents had good knowledge about mental health problems. The second theme identified attitudes towards treatment as a major factor to completion of treatment. The third theme was related to structural factors like transportation cost and parents’ work schedule identified as key barriers. The fourth theme was related to inconvenient appointment time and lack of flexibility in the scheduling of appointment at the clinic.
Conclusions: The study highlights key areas of interventions to minimize barriers to completion of treatment among children accessing mental health services.

O processo editorial de revistas científicas possuem gastos e as vinculadas às universidades públicas podem ter problemas de sustentabilidade. Por isso, o presente trabalho objetiva apresentar o cenário dos Portais de Revistas das Universidades federais da região sul para identificação da adoção ou não de Article Processing Charge. Adotou-se pesquisa exploratória, qualiquantitativa, bibliográfica e documental na web. Das 283 revistas científicas analisadas, 280 optam pela não cobrança, e apenas três cobram taxas com possível uso de regras mais rígidas das universidades. Conclui que como no Brasil, as políticas de cobrança não possuem lei específica, as revistas devem ser transparentes sobre o que a taxa cobre e se há isenções disponíveis.
