The characterization of the elemental content of soils in the study area was carriedout, and the geochemical level for soil nutrients, the geochemical level for the soil environment, and thecomprehensive geochemical level of soil quality were evaluated. The results showed that the average valuesof K content and pH of the soil in the study area were smaller than the background values of Jilin Province,and the average values of 18 elements including N, P, Ca, S, Pb, Zn etc. were bigger than the backgroundvalues of Jilin Province. The results of the evaluation of soil single element nutrient in the study area showedthat the available state nutrient levels of Mn, Zn, Cu, and K increased compared with the total amounts ofnutrients level, with Cu increasing the most;the available state nutrient level of N, P, B, and Mo decreasedcompared with the total amounts of nutrients level, with Mo decreasing the most. The comprehensive levelof soil nutrients geochemistry in paddy fields was mainly Level III (medium), accounting for 53.33%, andthe low abundance level was caused by the lack of P element;the comprehensive level of soil environmentalgeochemistry was mainly Level I (clean), accounting for 96.67%, with only slight pollution caused byCd. The comprehensive geochemical level of soil quality was mainly Level II, accounting for 66.67%.Suggestions were put forward for the rational utilization of soil resources in paddy fields in the study area.展开更多

文摘Evaluating soil quality(SQ)is crucial for ensuring the long-term stability of restored slope ecosystems,yet selecting efficient assessment methods remains challenging.The aim of this study was to develop a targeted SQ evaluation system to compare the differences in the effectiveness of ecological restoration methods for slopes.We analysed the characteristics of 18 soil physicochemical and biological indices within a total data set(TDS)for five restored slopes with distinct ecological restoration techniques and three untreated slopes(as the control)in Yichang,China.Principal component analysis,entropy weight method,and Norm were employed to identify a minimum data set(MDS)and four soil quality index(SQI)models,linear unweighted(SQI_(L-A)),linear weighted(SQI_(L-W)),nonlinear unweighted(SQI_(NL-A)),and nonlinear weighted(SQI_(NL-W)),were used to comprehensively evaluate the MDS-based SQ.The results revealed that(1)MDS,consisting of microbial biomass carbon(MBC),microbial biomass phosphorus(MBP),microbial biomass quotient(qMBC),catalase(CAT),and bulk density(BD),effectively characterized the SQ of the ecological restoration slopes;(2)the SQI_(NL-W)model demonstrated superior discrimination among different ecological restoration slopes,with a significantly greater coefficient of determination(R^(2)=0.881,P<0.01)than other SQI models;and(3)all five ecological restoration techniques effectively improved SQ of slope to varying degrees,elevating it from low to high levels,with the vegetative cement-soil eco-restoration&vegetation concrete eco-restoration technique demonstrating the best effect(SQI_(NL-W)=0.627).Our study developed a practical SQ evaluation system based on the validated MDS and the most suitable SQI model(SQI_(NL-W)).This system enables reliable assessment on the effectiveness of restoration techniques.
文摘With the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence technologies,represented by large language models,university-level computer science education is undergoing a critical transition-from knowledge-based instruction to competency-oriented teaching.A postgraduate student competency evaluation model can serve as a framework to organize and guide both teaching and research activities at the postgraduate level.A number of relevant research efforts have already been conducted in this area.Graduate education plays a vital role not only as a continuation and enhancement of undergraduate education but also as essential preparation for future research endeavors.An analysis of the acceptance of competency evaluation models refers to the assessment of how various stakeholders perceive the importance of different components within the model.Investigating the degree of acceptance among diverse groups-such as current undergraduate students,current postgraduate students,graduates with less than three years of work experience,and those with more than three years of work experience-can offer valuable insights for improving and optimizing postgraduate education and training practices.

文摘Coastal areas face challenges in updating and enhancing the quality of coastal shelterbelt forests due to limited soil resource utilization,the biological characteristics of tree species,and the impact of coastal storm surges.This study,based on clarifying the connotation of stand quality(SQ)for Casuarina equisetifolia(C.equisetifolia),a typical coastal shelterbelt species,integrates stand growth conditions and structure,applying the AHP-EWM method to construct an SQ evaluation model.The model identifies key factors influencing the quality of C.equisetifolia stands and explores the mechanisms driving their growth processes.The results indicate that mean tree height,mean diameter at breast height,and stand density are key indicators for assessing the SQ of C.equisetifolia stands.The SQ of C.equisetifolia coastal shelterbelt stands varies across different land-sea positions,mainly influenced by stand age and soil nutrient levels.As stand age increases,the SQ initially improves and then declines.Additionally,C.equisetifolia trees growing in nutrient-rich soils exhibit better growth and higher SQ than those in poor soils.The findings of this study provide a theoretical foundation for the management and quality enhancement of coastal shelterbelt forests.

文摘The evaluation of rock mass quality and its mechanical properties is crucial for tunnel construction.The basic quality(BQ)method is the national standard for rock mass classification in China,with the BQ value determined by the uniaxial compressive strength(UCS)and the integrity index(Kv).However,traditional rock mechanics testing methods have inherent limitations,which complicate the rapid evaluation of rock mass quality at tunnel sites.Digital drilling process monitoring(DPM)offers a novel approach for evaluating rock mass quality and its mechanical properties.A hydraulic rotary drilling rig,equipped with the DPM system,was used to conduct digital drilling tests at the tunnel face.The DPM data for the net drilling process and each sub-process were then analyzed.The correlations between DPM parameter indices and rock mechanical parameters were investigated.Finally,the rock mass quality and its mechanical properties along three boreholes were evaluated.The results indicate that drilling speed in the linear zone(V_(DPM))is quantitatively correlated with rock UCS.Higher UCS values of the drilled rocks correspond to lower V_(DPM) values of the drilling rig.The variability in specific energy is associated with structural disturbances within the rock mass.There is an approximately linear relationship between the standard deviation of normalized specific energy and rock mass K_(v) across the three boreholes.The rock mass quality along drilling depth generally ranges from good(Ⅰ-Ⅱ)to poor(Ⅲ-Ⅴ).This digitalization method provides more detailed information for tunnel stability analysis and design optimization than geological survey data.
文摘Objective To systematically evaluate the quality of pharmacoeconomics on hypertension management,and provide reference for promoting the development of pharmacoeconomics in China.Methods Some Chinese databases including CNKI,VIP,Wanfang,as well as international databases such as PubMed and Web of Science were searched to collect studies of economic evaluation on hypertension management in China.The quality of health economic studies(QHES)scale was used to assess the quality of the literature and to analyze the current situation and shortcomings of pharmacoeconomics in the field of hypertension in China.Results and Conclusion A total of 363 articles were included in this study.The quality assessment results showed that the average score of pharmacoeconomics on hypertension management was 42.54 points.The quality of literature published by medical institutions was significantly lower than that published by universities/research institutes(41.25 vs.54.68,P<0.05).Among the 363 articles,3.31%(12 articles)were of high quality(75-100 points),29.20%(106 articles)were of moderate quality(50-74 points),66.12%(240 articles)were of low quality(25-49 points),and 1.38%(5 articles)were of extremely low quality(0-24 points).These papers have such problems as unclear research perspectives,single research methods,ambiguous data sources,inappropriate study duration for disease characteristics,and insufficient sensitivity analysis factors.Overall,the quality evaluation of pharmacoeconomics on hypertension management in China is generally low with poor standardization,which should be improved in the future.

文摘BACKGROUND Sleep disturbances and residual functional impairment are increasingly recognized as important determinants of outcome in mood disorders,even during remission.Persistent disruptions in sleep may reflect underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and contribute to impaired psychosocial recovery.By comparing remitted bipolar disorder(BD)and major depressive disorder(MDD)patients with healthy controls,the present study sought to clarify the extent of these disturbances and their correlates.AIM To evaluate differences in sleep quality,psychosocial functioning,and insomnia severity among remitted patients with BD and MDD,in comparison with healthy controls.A secondary aim was to examine the clinical and psychosocial factors influencing sleep quality within these groups.METHODS The study included 135 participants:45 remitted BD patients,45 remitted MDD patients,and 45 healthy controls.Sleep quality was assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index,psychosocial functioning with the global assessment of functioning,and insomnia severity with the Insomnia Severity Index.Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were also recorded.Comparative analyses were conducted to evaluate differences between groups,and regression models were used to identify predictors of sleep quality.RESULTS Both BD and MDD groups demonstrated significantly poorer sleep quality and higher insomnia severity compared with healthy controls.Poor sleep quality was observed in 75.6%of BD patients and 57.8%of MDD patients.Group differences were most pronounced in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index subdomains including sleep latency,sleep duration,and habitual sleep efficiency.Regression analysis identified insomnia severity(β=0.510)and functional capacity(β=-0.043)as significant correlates of sleep quality,indicating that greater insomnia severity and lower functioning were independently associated with poorer sleep.CONCLUSION The findings underscore that even during remission,BD and MDD are accompanied by substantial impairments in sleep quality and psychosocial functioning.These results highlight the importance of addressing residual symptoms,particularly insomnia and functional difficulties,in long-term management strategies.Interventions aimed at improving sleep and enhancing daily functioning should be considered essential components of treatment to promote recovery and quality of life in remitted patients.
