In this study, a survey was conducted on a sample of pig slaughtering and processing firms in Zhejiang, China through personal interviews and emails. The aim of this study was to examine the determinants of firm behavior on the implementation of voluntary traceability systems with more stringent standards and controls than those of the mandatory system in China. The results revealed that motivation based on product quality improvement, capital ability and role perception （business type） had significantly positive relationships with a firm＇s voluntary traceability. Other incentives, such as operation improvement, recall risk reduction, reduced occurrence of safety issues, and technical strength were not found to be supportive in our study. This study provides an opportunity to better understand the determinants of firm behavior on voluntary traceability, particularly in light of the fact that some Chinese firms are facing the threat of criminal action for the use of illegal additives and the abuse of Clenbuterol. Policy recommendations on encouraging the implementation of pork safety voluntary traceability by hog slaughtering and processing firms are also discussed.展开更多

The experimental results showed that the grey cast iron treated with 60%FeSi75+40%RE complex inoculants has tensile strength consistently at about 295 MPa along with good hardness and improved metallurgy quality. While the grey cast iron inoculated with 20%FeSi75+80%Sr compound inoculants has the best process-ability, the lowest cross-section sensibility and the least microhardness difference. The wear amount of the drill increases correspondingly with the increase of the microhardness difference of matrix structure, indicating the great effect of homogeneousness of matrix structure in the grey cast iron on the machinability of the grey cast iron.展开更多

This paper analyses resilience as a concept to provide these dimensions. The use of the term resilience proliferates in many contexts and disciplines. Interpretations may overlap or even contradict each other. This paper seeks to make a case for a more nuanced understanding of resilience, including the use of “qualifier adjectives” to emphasize differences. Starting from the original etymological meaning of resilience as “bouncing back” the paper aims an innovative (re)conceptualization to facilitate the practical use of resilience in disaster risk management. It is recommended to distinguish between resilience as ability, being a hazard independent pre-disposition for recovery, and resilience as a process, describing different bouncing back and bouncing forward mechanisms inherent in the different recovery phases. This proposed distinction would enable the assessment of recovery abilities before calamities occur and hence could serve as guide to disaster preparedness programmes. The suggested analysis of resilience as a process would open opportunities to use the concept describing preemptive resilience response (presilience), recovery as bouncing back towards a state preceding the hazard event, as well as progressive resilience (prosilience) as bouncing forward and transition of the disaster recovery phase into adaptation and further development.展开更多

Methods: 74 patients with acute cerebral infarction who were treated in our hospital from June 2020 to June 2021 were collected and divided into two groups according to the date of admission. The control group (37 cases) received routine first aid and the observation group (37 cases) received first aid by applying the improved first aid nursing process. The first aid time, clinical curative effect, prognosis level and living ability of the two groups were compared. Results: the time of triage, referral, blood collection, CT examination and rescue in the observation group was significantly shortened (P < 0.05). The scores of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Glasgow (GOS) were higher than those of the control group (GOS), while the scores of National Institutes of Health (NIHSS) were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The results showed that the total therapeutic effect of the treatment group was 91.89%, which was higher than that of the control group 72.97% (p < 0.05). After emergency treatment, simple Fugl-Meyers motor ability assessment (FMA) and daily living ability (ADL) scores were higher than those of the normal population (P<0.05). Conclusion: the application of improved first aid nursing process in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction with rt-PA can shorten the first aid time, improve the curative effect, and help to further promote the recovery of patients ability to live.展开更多

A theoretical evaluating model to predict the maximum filling length was built based on the flowing theory of the incompressible viscous fluid. It was proved by experiments and calculations that the mold-tilling pressure and velocity are prominent influencing factors on the mold-filling ability of alloy melt. The mold-filling ability increases with the increase of the mold-filling pressure and the decrease of the proper mold-filling velocity. Moreover, the pouring temperature relatively has less effect on the mold-filling ability under the experimental conditions. The maximum deviation of theoretical calculating values with experimental results is less than 15%. The model can quantitatively estimate the effect of every factor on the mold-filling ability.展开更多

Thefactorial experiments show that all of the heating factors, such as mold temperature, heatingtemperature and the keeping time of billets, have some effects on the mold-filling ability ofsemisolid alloy. According to the analysis of influencing extent on the filling ability, it is foundthat the most important one of the factors is the mold temperature instead of the billetstemperature, the next one is the heating temperature of the billet, and the keeping time rows on thethird. It is also found that there is an interrelation between the billet heating temperature andthe mold temperature. The effect of the interrelation on the mold-filling ability is even strongerthan the keeping time. The higher the mold temperature, heating temperature or the keeping time is,the better the mold-filling ability of the semisolid alloy is. The parameter to describe themold-filling ability, defined as the maximum filling height along the uptight direction or themaximum filling length along the horizontal direction, can be theoretically determined according tothe flowing theory of viscous fluid.展开更多
