Published: August 2024

To decrease pollutant effluent levels in sewage plants, in order to improve the pollutant control capacity, the removal efficiencies for COD, TP, TN, and NH3-N in two sewage plants located in Guangzhou were compared and analyzed. The correlation among influent carbon and nitrogen ratios, water loading rate, and total nitrogen removal rate were examined to enhance the nitrogen removal. The CASS process in Plant I had slightly higher TN (81.85%) and TP (98.38%) removal rates than those in Plant II (80%). Plants I and II achieved COD removal rates of 95.51% and 96.44%, respectively, and NH3-N removal rates of 99.08% and 99.34%, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that only the influent loading rate of Plant I had a moderate correlation with the total nitrogen removal rate, while the other factors only had a weak correlation. Therefore, the total nitrogen removal rate is influenced by multiple factors.
Macroeconomic econometric analysis of government policy
Authors: Zhang Shuxia , Cong Xinrong 
Published: August 2024

This paper first proposes three indicators, gross domestic product (GDP), consumer price index (CPI) and producer price index (PPI), to quantitatively describe the macroeconomic situation based on the theory of macroeconomic indicators. Next, in view of the fiscal and monetary policies promulgated by the Chinese government, two indicators, namely government budget expenditure, and new credit, are selected to quantitatively describe the government's economic policies. Then the Granger causality test and Johansen cointegration relationship analysis are conducted between these indicators. The study found that there is no significant causal relationship between China's government budget expenditure, new loans and GDP, but the long-term cointegration relationship is obvious, and this relationship is positive. And found that there is not only a significant bi-causal relationship between the price indexes (CPI, PPI), but also a long-term positive cointegration relationship. On this basis, a VEC model between government budget expenditure and GDP, CPI and PPI was established based on the integrity of the indicators, and a VAR model was stablished between the amount of credit and GDP, CPI and PPI.

Authors: Li Xinrui , Yang Junxiang , Li Bing 
Published: August 2024

This paper applies the quantitative method of policy text to construct an evaluation index system based on the PMC index model to quantitatively evaluate the long-term care insurance policies introduced in Chengdu and Chongqing since 2017. The study finds that long-term care insurance policies have dilemmas in terms of policy subjects, policy areas, and policy tool combinations. The direction of future policy optimization should strengthen collaboration between departments; focus on the development of weak policy areas; and optimize the combination of policy tools.

The fabrication of photovoltaic (PV) device requires that surface reflectance of solar cells has to be minimized to achieve higher photo-conversion efficiency (PCE). Antireflection coating layer is deposited on the surface of a p-type crystalline silicon material to reduce the surface reflections of solar radiation and increase its absorption for efficient solar cell application. In this work, aluminum oxide thin film by liquid phase deposition (LPD-Al2O­3) is synthesized from combined solution of aluminum sulfate octadecahydrate (Al2(SO4)3·18H2­O) and sodium carbonate (NaHCO3) with pH of 3.1. Some samples of p-type (100) crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafers of resistivity 1 – 10 mΩ were immersed inside the growth liquid of LPD-Al2O­3 thin film for 1hr – 2.5 hours. This is followed by annealing the samples at a temperature of 450oC, the deposition rate is faster in the range 1 – 1.5 hours is about 35nm/hr. As the growth time increases, the growth rate of the film decreases and remains nearly constant at about 10 nm/hour at 1 – 2 hours. When the growth time exceeds 2 hours, the film thickness remains unchanged showing that the liquid has lost in growth ability. The weighted average reflection (%) of planar c-Si is reduced from 44.9 % to 29.6 % after deposition of the LPD-Al2O­3 for 2.5 hours growth time, indicating a 34.1 % reduction in reflection within wavelength region of 300–1100 nm. While the root means square (RMS) surface roughness of 36.5 nm was also recorded at the highest growth time of 2.5 hours. This shows the effect of thicker LPD-Al2O­3 thin film layer increases the anti-reflecting coating property of the material.

Delineation of the groundwater potential zones in the Cretaceous Lower Benue and Niger Delta basins of Abia state, Nigeria with geographic information system (GIS) / remote sensing (RS) multi-criteria decision approach (MCDA) considered the significant hydrogeomorphological factors affecting the availability of groundwater resources. The factors (geology, rainfall, slope, drainage density, lineament density, soil type, and land use land cover) were ranked using the analytical hierarchical process, a multi-criteria decision-making tool. The integration of the factors into a geographic information system (GIS) and weighted overlay analysis were then carried out using ArcGIS software. The result indicates 31.5% of zones of high to very high groundwater occurrence are in the southern section, and 41.6% of poor to very poor zones in the northern section. While the moderate zones make up the 26.8% of the study area. The study demonstrates that the groundwater occurrence in the study area is primarily controlled by the interactive impact of geology, rainfall, and slope factors, thus revealing the causes of the incessant random borehole failures in the moderate zones. Thus, the groundwater resources can be sustainably exploited, developed, and managed with the help of the map produced from the resulting demarcation of groundwater potential zones in the study.
Mindfulness-Based Interventions on Psychological Comorbidities in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Qian Xiaoqi , Zhang Jianjian 
Published: August 2024

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, lifelong disease, so IBD patients are highly susceptible to negative emotions, such as anxiety and depression, resulting in a reduced quality of life. Mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) is widely used to reduce stress, anxiety and depression in people. Therefore, this study conducted a systematic review of mindfulness-based intervention training on anxiety, depression, and quality of life in patients with IBD through meta-analysis.
Methods: Search papers in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, CNKI, Wanfang, and Embase databases. The search time limit was from the establishment of the database to May 2023. Randomized controlled trial studies of the effect of mindfulness intervention training on patients with IBD were screened, the included results were integrated and analyzed, and ReviewManager 5.4 was used for meta-analysis.
Results: A total of 14 studies with a total of 1030 IBD patients were included. A total of 10 studies showed that the anxiety of patients in the mindfulness intervention group was significantly reduced by (standard mean difference (SMD) = –0.73, 95% confidence interval (CI): –1.01 to –0.45) compared to the control group. 8 studies showed that the intervention group significantly reduced patients' depression (SMD = –0.60, 95% CI: –0.78 to –0.42). 7 studies showed that the patient's quality of life improved after mindfulness intervention (SMD = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.45–0.87).
Conclusion: Mindfulness-based intervention training can improve anxiety, depression, and quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease in the short term, but the long-term effects need to be confirmed by more randomized controlled trials.

Introduction: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability globally, with a worrying increase of 70% in incidence, 85% in prevalence and 43% in mortality in the last three decades. This growth is especially notable in low- and middle-income countries, where mortality rates are much higher than in high-income countries. Objective: The study aims to analyze the causes and risk factors associated with stroke through an integrative review, identifying predictive factors and biological, behavioral and environmental variables that influence its incidence. Methodology: this is a literature review that analyzes the main risk factors for stroke based on articles from the last 10 years, available in English and Portuguese in the PubMed, SciELO and VHL databases. Results and Discussion: High blood pressure is the most significant modifiable factor, as it affects all cerebral arteries and increases the risk of stroke. Dyslipidemia, with high levels of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, contributes to atherosclerosis, increasing the risk of ischemic stroke. Diabetes mellitus causes damage to blood vessels. Smoking and the use of hormonal contraceptives are also important risk factors, as they damage arteries and promote the formation of clots. Furthermore, migraine, especially with aura, is associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke due to vasospasms and neuronal hyperexcitability. Conclusion: This study highlighted high blood pressure, dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus as the main risk factors for stroke. Smoking and the use of hormonal contraceptives were also highlighted as significant contributors to stroke risk. The adoption of control measures and educational actions to manage these factors is essential to reduce the incidence of stroke and its serious consequences.

Interpretation in Classroom Listening
Authors: Waks Leonard 
Published: August 2024

Sophie Haroutunian-Gordon and the author have debated about the meaning of listening in education. For Haroutunian-Gordon, listening implies mental acts of questioning. By contrast, the author has offered a dual process account of listening, distinguishing between listening that involves explicit, consciously directed mental effort and listening that is direct and immediate and requires no effort. The topic of “interpretation in listening” offers an opportunity for further consideration of these two types of listening. We can ask whether listeners are always interpreting speakers’ utterances, or whether there are some acts of listening that are immediate and direct, and thus do not involve interpretation. This paper argues, based on a close analysis of the concept of listening, that many typical acts of listening in classrooms are of the second, immediate, type.

Published: August 2024

Objective
This systematic review was conducted to analyze the existing evidence on the effects of strength training (ST) and complex/contrast training (CCT) on repeated sprint ability (RSA) in team sports players.

Methods
A systematic review of the literature was performed following the PRISMA statement. PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were used. Original full-text articles were analyzed, without date restriction until May 26, 2024, written in English, peer-reviewed, and for eligibility must have included (1) male or female team sports players, amateur or professional category, without age restriction (2) lower extremity ST and/or CCT program (3) active control group (4) running RSA test (e.g., repeated shuttle sprint ability test or straight-line repeated sprint ability test) before and after the intervention period (5) controlled trial.

Results
A total of 3,376 studies were identified and screened. Finally, 10 articles were included based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, all with moderate methodological quality according to the PEDro scale. The best time, mean time, and total time presented significant pre and post-test changes, using ST in 3, 2, and 1 experimental groups, respectively, and using CCT in 1, 1, and 1 experimental groups, respectively, with almost no differences in the percentage decrement most commonly reported in RSA tests. There were no changes in the control groups.

Conclusion
Together, ST performed in a range of maximal power provides benefits in the best time and mean time and performed between 80 to 95% of 1 repetition maximum (RM) provides benefits in the best time, mean time, and total time in RSA tests. CCT performed between 75 to 90% of 1 RM combined with jumps and sprints provides benefits in the best time, mean time, and total time in RSA test, but no unaltered percentage decrement in ST and CCT in elite and semi-professional team sport players.
Solute transport in low‐heterogeneity sandboxes: The role of correlation length and permeability variance
Authors: Heidari Peyman , Li Li 
Published: September 2014

AbstractThis work examines how heterogeneity structure, in particular correlation length, controls flow and solute transport. We used two‐dimensional (2D) sandboxes (21.9 cm × 20.6 cm) and four modeling approaches, including 2D Advection‐Dispersion Equation (ADE) with explicit heterogeneity structure, 1D ADE with average properties, and nonlocal Continuous Time Random Walk (CTRW) and fractional ADE (fADE). The goal is to answer two questions: (1) how and to what extent does correlation length control effective permeability and breakthrough curves (BTC)? (2) Which model can best reproduce data under what conditions? Sandboxes were packed with the same 20% (v/v) fine and 80% (v/v) coarse sands in three patterns that differ in correlation length. The Mixed cases contain uniformly distributed fine and coarse grains. The Four‐zone and One‐zone cases have four and one square fine zones, respectively. A total of seven experiments were carried out with permeability variance of 0.10 (LC), 0.22 (MC), and 0.43 (HC). Experimental data show that the BTC curves depend strongly on correlation length, especially in the HC cases. The HC One‐zone (HCO) case shows distinct breakthrough steps arising from fast advection in the coarse zone, slow advection in the fine zone, and slow diffusion, while the LCO and MCO BTCs do not exhibit such behavior. With explicit representation of heterogeneity structure, 2D ADE reproduces BTCs well in all cases. CTRW reproduces temporal moments with smaller deviation from data than fADE in all cases except HCO, where fADE has the lowest deviation.

AbstractAuroral patches in diffuse auroras are very common features in the postmidnight local time. However, the processes that produce auroral patches are not yet well understood. In this paper we present two examples of auroral fragmentation which is the process by which uniform aurora is broken into several fragments to form auroral patches. These examples were observed at Athabasca, Canada (geomagnetic latitude: 61.7°N), and Tromsø, Norway (67.1°N). Captured in sequences of images, the auroral fragmentation occurs as finger‐like structures developing latitudinally with horizontal‐scale sizes of 40–100 km at ionospheric altitudes. The structures tend to develop in a north‐south direction with speeds of 150–420 m/s without any shearing motion, suggesting that pressure‐driven instability in the balance between the earthward magnetic‐tension force and the tailward pressure gradient force in the magnetosphere is the main driving force of the auroral fragmentation. Therefore, these observations indicate that auroral fragmentation associated with pressure‐driven instability is a process that creates auroral patches. The observed slow eastward drift of aurora during the auroral fragmentation suggests that fragmentation occurs in low‐energy ambient plasma.
Impact of periodic intermediary flows on submarine melting of a Greenland glacier

Published: September 2014

AbstractThe submarine melting of a vertical glacier front, induced by an intermediary circulation forced by periodic density variations at the mouth of a fjord, is investigated using a nonhydrostatic ocean general circulation model and idealized laboratory experiments. The idealized configurations broadly match that of Sermilik Fjord, southeast Greenland, a largely two layers system characterized by strong seasonal variability of subglacial discharge. Consistent with observations, the numerical results suggest that the intermediary circulation is an effective mechanism for the advection of shelf anomalies inside the fjord. In the numerical simulations, the advection mechanism is a density intrusion with a velocity which is an order of magnitude larger than the velocities associated with a glacier‐driven circulation. In summer, submarine melting is mostly influenced by the discharge of surface runoff at the base of the glacier and the intermediary circulation induces small changes in submarine melting. In winter, on the other hand, submarine melting depends only on the water properties and velocity distribution at the glacier front. Hence, the properties of the waters advected by the intermediary circulation to the glacier front are found to be the primary control of the submarine melting. When the density of the intrusion is intermediate between those found in the fjord's two layers, there is a significant reduction in submarine melting. On the other hand, when the density is close to that of the bottom layer, only a slight reduction in submarine melting is observed. The numerical results compare favorably to idealized laboratory experiments with a similar setup.
