The study was conducted during two consecutive years, using a completely randomized block design of 8 treatments repeated three times in each subblock. The sub-plots were enriched with 0, 10, 20 and 40 g corresponding to the treatment of EM and IMO respectively and 3.2 g of NPK in 2019. Subsequently, the best dose that resulted in excellent yields was repeated for the rest of the experiment in 2020. The yield parameters and nutritional value of the two varieties of Arachis hypogaea used in the two consecutive years increase with the contribution of the different doses compared to the control. Overall, a significant increase (p A. hypogaea plants fertilized with EM 20 g (2.15 ± 0.24 and 2.01 ± 0.23 t/ha) and plants fertilized with NPK 3.2 g (2.36 ± 0.65 and 2.04 ± 0.17 t/ha) was not significant. On the other hand, there was a significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) between plants fertilized with IMO 10 g (2.65 ± 0.17 and 2.24 ± 0.2 t/ha) and plants fertilized with EM 20 g and plants fertilized with NPK 3.2 g for both varieties during the two years combined. In addition to being local and therefore adapted to environmental conditions, IMOs could be a promising biological means for improving soil fertility in Cameroon.展开更多

A significant proportion of the studies focus on medicinal plants, in contrast to those that examine food products. Nevertheless, studies on edible wild mushrooms as NTFPs and cultivated mushrooms, on their economic potential and value chains in the Great Lakes Region, remain scarce and largely absent for some NTFPs. In light of the aforementioned considerations, the present study aims to examine the economic potential and value chain of the production sector of wild edible mushrooms (WEM) and cultivated mushrooms (CM) within the Virunga National Park (PNVi) and its surrounding areas in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). To this end, a sample of 432 respondents was selected, distributed equitably among the actors of the Goma-Kitshanga-Mweso value chain, the Goma-Rutshuru chain, the Beni-Mutwanga chain, and the Beni-Mangina chain. A digital questionnaire consisting of open and closed questions was administered, and observations were carried out concurrently. The quantities of mushrooms sold were weighed and photographed. The results demonstrated that, when the eight-month fruiting period of wild and cultivated mushrooms was considered as a single year for all actors within the value chain, a picker could sell 6.1 kg at $2 and earn $12. A seller could sell 16 kg at $4 and earn $64, while a grower could sell 502 kg at $3 and earn $1506. Consequently, the CM grower generates a significantly higher profit than other participants in the value chain, despite the expenses he incurs. Ultimately, the domestication of WEM, highly prized by the local population of the Virunga National Park, has the potential to enhance their household incomes, as evidenced by the findings of this study.展开更多

The yield parameters and nutritional value of the two varieties of Arachis hypogaea used in the two consecutive years increase with the contribution of the different doses compared to the control. Overall, a significant increase (p A. hypogaea plants fertilized with EM 20 g (2.15 ± 0.24 and 2.01 ± 0.23 t/ha) and plants fertilized with NPK 3.2 g (2.36 ± 0.65 and 2.04 ± 0.17 t/ha) was not significant. On the other hand, there was a significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) between plants fertilized with IMO 10 g (2.65 ± 0.17 and 2.24 ± 0.2 t/ha) and plants fertilized with EM 20 g and plants fertilized with NPK 3.2 g for both varieties during the two years combined. In addition to being local and therefore adapted to environmental conditions, IMOs could be a promising biological means for improving soil fertility in Cameroon.
文摘A substantial body of research has been conducted with the objective of enhancing the understanding of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFP) in Central Africa. A significant proportion of the studies focus on medicinal plants, in contrast to those that examine food products. Nevertheless, studies on edible wild mushrooms as NTFPs and cultivated mushrooms, on their economic potential and value chains in the Great Lakes Region, remain scarce and largely absent for some NTFPs. In light of the aforementioned considerations, the present study aims to examine the economic potential and value chain of the production sector of wild edible mushrooms (WEM) and cultivated mushrooms (CM) within the Virunga National Park (PNVi) and its surrounding areas in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). To this end, a sample of 432 respondents was selected, distributed equitably among the actors of the Goma-Kitshanga-Mweso value chain, the Goma-Rutshuru chain, the Beni-Mutwanga chain, and the Beni-Mangina chain. A digital questionnaire consisting of open and closed questions was administered, and observations were carried out concurrently. The quantities of mushrooms sold were weighed and photographed. The results demonstrated that, when the eight-month fruiting period of wild and cultivated mushrooms was considered as a single year for all actors within the value chain, a picker could sell 6.1 kg at $2 and earn $12. A seller could sell 16 kg at $4 and earn $64, while a grower could sell 502 kg at $3 and earn $1506. Consequently, the CM grower generates a significantly higher profit than other participants in the value chain, despite the expenses he incurs. Ultimately, the domestication of WEM, highly prized by the local population of the Virunga National Park, has the potential to enhance their household incomes, as evidenced by the findings of this study.
文摘Background:An urban medical group in Dapeng New District was established in 2017 with the objective of enhancing outcomes for common diseases and reinforcing primary care by integrating high‐level hospitals with primary health services.This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the urban medical group using the triangular value chain framework.Methods:The evaluation was conducted using the Donabedian model,focusing on three key dimensions:safety and quality,accessibility,and affordability.Longitudinal data were collected from 2016 to 2022 through government annual reports,the medical insurance bureau,and hospital information systems.Preprogram and postprogram outcome measurements were compared to assess differences and trends,providing a clear picture of the program's effectiveness.Results:Accessibility improved significantly,with the number of hospital beds per 1000 residents increasing from 2.62 in 2017 to 3.76 in 2022.The availability of general practitioners(GPs)also rose markedly,from 0 per 10,000 residents in 2017 to 6.27 in 2022.Regarding safety and quality,the proportion of complex medical procedures conducted within the New District expanded substantially,from 7.35%in 2017 to 38.11%in 2021.Additionally,there was an enhancement in the standardized management rate of chronic diseases.Affordability assessments showed that the proportion of medical income derived from the medical insurance fund increased by nearly 22.81 percentage points between 2012 and 2021.By 2021,75.02%of medical patients were covered by medical insurance,representing an increase of approximately 44 percentage points from 31.19%in 2012.Conclusions:The implementation of the urban medical group in Dapeng New District has led to substantial improvements in healthcare accessibility,safety and quality,and affordability.Future initiatives will focus on advancing the“Dapeng Mode”to generate exemplary healthcare outcomes and minimize disparities in basic health services and health status between urban and rural populations.The reform agenda includes piloting payment reforms and innovative payment models within the Dapeng group,complemented by a health assessment and performance incentive system aimed at encouraging healthcare institutions to prioritize health management.

文摘Values of individuals and organizations involved in decision-making processes form the basis for prioritizing outcomes in water governance.The novelty of this study lies in applying values to a specific decision-making context.It aims to assess the prioritized water governance outcomes and the underlying value systems shaping the actions of the primary water utility responsible for water governance in Delhi,the Delhi Jal Board(DJB).The paper will critically examine the policies and acts of the DJB that drive water governance in Delhi at present,utilizing a values-based framework in conjunction with secondary literature and expert interviews,to draw a picture of the values reflected.The study does not substantiate the notion of economic values dominating the water-related deci-sions;rather,recent policy guidelines indicate prioritization of equitable and fair distribution of water.Findings of this paper show that making the values explicit is largely disregarded in formulating water acts and policies,and values are never elucidated in the public domain,doing which can encourage water policies and practices that are socially,economically,and ecologically viable in the long run.It is expected that this paper will generate a discussion on water values being an integral part of water governance discourses.

文摘With the deepening of international agricultural division of labor,trade methods have shifted from traditional bilateral trade to agricultural global value chain(AGVC)trade.Sanitary and Phytosanitary(SPS)measures are a crucial factor affecting agricultural trade and a key variable in AGVC governance.This paper,based on the 2012-2020 University of International Business and Economics Global Value Chain Index(UIBE GVC Index)and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Non-Tariff Measures Database(UNCTAD NTMs Database),measures the structural heterogeneity and breadth heterogeneity of SPS measures.It also constructs mathematical models and fixed-effects models to explore the impact of SPS heterogeneity on AGVC upgrading.The findings reveal that the heterogeneity of SPS measures exerts a significant inhibitory effect on the upgrading of agricultural global value chains.Moreover,compared to developed countries,a reduction in SPS measures’heterogeneity demonstrates a more pronounced positive impact on AGVC upgrading in developing countries.
文摘Pancreatic cancer is recognized as one of the leading causes of cancer mortality,representing the second most common source of cancer-related deaths within the gastrointestinal domain.Surgical resection is currently the only definitive treatment;however,the subtle emergence of symptoms often leads to a diagnosis at an advanced stage,with merely 10%-15%of patients being eligible for surgical intervention.The primary obstacle to achieving a potential radical resection is the presence of distant metastatic disease or invasion of adjacent major vascular structures.This review aims to highlight the critical role of endoscopic ultrasound in the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic tumors.We systematically searched PubMed,MEDLINE and Web of Science by using‘pancreatic cancer’and‘endoscopic ultrasonography’as keywords.Relevant studies were reviewed and analyzed.Endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS)is efficient in the diagnosis and staging of pancreatic cancer,past studies reported the accuracy of EUS is 63%to 94%for T-staging and 44%to 82%for N-staging but there are still limitations that need to be comprehensively applied with other diagnostic methods to evaluation of distant metastasis for surgical resectability.Our review aims to reveal the value for the staging of pancreatic cancer.

文摘Herein,the association between the dynamic adsorption capacity of toluene and several important characteristic values on activated carbon(AC)samples was investigated by multidimensional linear regression.Among the characteristic values,the carbon tetrachloride(CTC)adsorption value has demonstrated relatively stronger correlation with the toluene adsorption capacity on AC sampleswith diverse sources and forms,particularly in exposure to high-concentration toluene.Notably,the relevance of the toluene adsorption capacity to the CTC value could also be extended to a series of other porous adsorbents,which proved the wide applicability of CTC value in characterizing the adsorption behaviors.Based on these results,a mathematical and visual model was then established to predict the toluene adsorption saturation under different conditions(inlet concentration,adsorption time,initial CTC value,etc.)on diverse AC samples,of which the accuracy has later been verified by experimental data.As such,a fast and accurate estimation of the adsorption behaviors over AC samples,and possibly other porous adsorbents,was realized.
文摘With the rapid development of the digital age,the perceived value of private consumers has changed to varying degrees,which has a profound impact on consumption stickiness.Based on the existing research results,this study constructs a model with four dimensions of perceived value as mechanism variables(namely,perceived functional value,perceived emotional value,perceived economic value,and perceived social value),and studies the influence of private domain consumers’perceived value on consumption sticky behavior in the digital age.The empirical study finds that private domain consumers’perceived functional value,perceived emotional value,and perceived economic value positively affect consumption sticky behavior,showing a relationship that sticky behavior increases with the increase of the above three dimensions,while private domain consumers’perceived social value has a negative effect.
