Combinations of Transportation Policies to Promote BRT Usage Using Artificial Society Model

Various transportation systems have been developed in recent years.In this study,an artificial society model is developed to examine the combination of transportation policies in urban areas.In this model,each trip maker selects the primary and terminal transportation modes.An artificial society model is applied to the southeastern region of Osaka City,Japan.The effects of introducing BRT(bus rapid transit,primary transportation)and on-demand buses(terminal transportation)are investigated.The results confirm that BRT is used by a certain number of users.An increase in the use of BRT will increase the amount of walking,thus resulting in a healthy city.However,on-demand buses are rarely used as terminal transportation.Additionally,the development of bicycle parking stations near BRT stops is shown to be effective in the northern section of the BRT route.

Hungry and Angry Society: Implications for Sustainable Development in Nigeria

Hunger is a physiological need,but the production and consumption of adequate and balanced food is a function of social forces.At every point,social,political,and economic processes intervene,for better or(more common)for worse.Food is one fundamental need of human beings for survival.But in Nigeria there is widespread food shortage and hunger.Development scholars have put forward reasons why poverty,hunger persists in the country,from the platitudes about population growth,inadequate implementation of agricultural policies,and neglect of agriculture,bad leadership,corruption,and the issue of distribution.Nigeria is richly blessed with arable land and citizens eager to unlock its food potentials.Unfortunately,this is far from being realized as the country depends on foreign countries for food,a situation that is tragic and sad.She spends about$10 billion a year importing food and agricultural products,the majority of which are wheat,rice,poultry,fish,and consumer-oriented foods.The pressure on the exchange rate results in devaluation-triggered inflation and food costs that fly up beyond the grasp of people at the bottom of the ladder as it is now is one of the negative repercussions of high food importation bills.Examining the effects of hunger is one of this paper’s key concerns and goals,and anger crisis for achieving sustainable development in the country using the Frustration-Aggression Theory,The Relative Deprivation and Political Economy Approach as guide.

Early Nursing Intervention in Children with Viral Meningitis

Aim: To explore the effect of a WeChat peer education program in children with severe viral meningitis combined with respiratory failure. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Methods: Patients who had severe viral meningitis combined with respiratory failure, were admitted to the hospital from March 2017 to June 2018, and who received the WeChat-based nursing intervention were included. Patients who received routine nursing were used as controls. The family’s emotional state, self-care ability, and rehabilitation were analyzed. Results: There were 37 patients in the WeChat group (19 boys (51.3%) and 18 girls (48.7%);mean of 5.1 ± 2.4 years of age) and 37 controls (20 boys (54.1%) and 17 girls (45.9%);mean of 5.9 ± 2.4 years of age) (all P > 0.05). After nursing, improvements in the self-assessed anxiety score and self-assessed depression score were better in the WeChat group (anxiety: -29.2% vs. -20.3%, P = 0.015;depression: -25.2% vs. -15.4%, P = 0.009). After nursing, the improvements in the condition management ability scale and condition management difficulty scale scores were better in the WeChat group (ability: +80.5% vs. +44.4%. P = 0.001;difficulty: +58.4% vs. +37.8%, P = 0.003). After nursing, the improvement in the Fugl-Meyer score was better in the WeChat group (+138.0% vs. +53.0%, P Conclusion: Early nursing intervention combined with WeChat peer education can improve the emotional state of children with severe viral meningitis combined with respiratory failure and their caregivers. Impact: Viral meningitis is associated with a good prognosis, but central nervous system complications can be observed. Early intervention is the key to a good prognosis. Internet-based nursing and coaching can improve self-efficacy and care ability in patients with various conditions, as well as improve the emotional state of the children and their caregivers. The research might have an impact on any children’s hospital that deals with viral meningitis.

Assessing Barriers to Mental Healthcare Interventions for Deaf People in Ghana

While mental health issues are increasingly gaining attention in Ghana, little is known about the situation among deaf people. This study assessed the mental health care needs of deaf people in Ghana. A descriptive design, consisting of interviews and focus group discussions, was used to collect data from 97 participants. Findings indicated that participants had limited knowledge on mental health issues. Mental health stigma, inaccessible mental health information and exclusion from mental health programmes were the major barriers hindering access to mental health care services. This study bridges the knowledge gap and provides evidence for the implementation of deaf-friendly services.

Analyzing the Differences in the Concepts of Love Between Korean and American Women Using the Female Characters in Kim Ji-young,Born in 1982 and The Sun Also Rises as Examples

This paper scrutinizes the differences in the conceptualization of love between Korean and American women.Grounded in an analysis of literary figures,Brett and Kim Ji-young,the study unravels the intricate interplay of cultural,historical,and societal forces shaping these perspectives.The contrasting landscapes of the United States,driven by ideals of freedom and individualism,and Korea,entrenched in Confucian values and collectivism,serve as crucibles for forming women’s roles,self-perception,and societal expectations.The examination extends to communication styles,illuminating the directness of American expression versus Korea’s reliance on formalism.Through this exploration,the paper illustrates the profound impact of cultural contexts on the intricate tapestry of love,offering a nuanced understanding of divergent viewpoints within a global context.

从STS到STSE的扩展:科学技术哲学研究的一个新动态

随着科学技术对环境影响的日益加剧,社会发展中的环境问题日益凸显,很多科学、技术与社会(STS)领域的问题需要从生态维度去考虑。在以往的STS研究中,虽然涉及一定生态环境内容,但还未充分突出其重要性、独立性。通过分析当前国内外STS研究动态,特别是其中涉及生态环境的部分,STS研究展现出向科学、技术、社会与环境(STSE)研究扩展的趋势。在这一扩展中,把环境视为一种独立要素,从而为原来的STS研究带来新的认知维度,建立“科学-技术-社会-环境”新的系统,具有一定启发意义。

An Analysis of the Current State of Civil Society Participation in Ensuring the National Security of Mongolia

In this article, the researchers tried to evaluate the contribution of civil society to Mongolian democracy and the problems faced by civil society. In addition, the article aimed to determine the unique national criteria of Mongolian democracy and the need to create an organization to monitor the process of democracy. The process of identifying important documents and ideals for the development of Mongolian civil society today is still in its early stages. It can be said that the approval of the democratic constitution and the first free and fair parliamentary elections as a country that has newly and restored democracy became another impetus for the creation of a new type of citizen organization. It is characterized by trying to study the changes that have occurred since this historical period at the intersection of political science and security studies. One of the most important issues today is to find out how many non-governmental and civil society organizations exist in Mongolia today, which are Western-oriented, focused on specific issues, have their own position and opinion, are specialized, and are capable of influencing government policy. On the other hand, in this article, we emphasize whether non-governmental and civil society organizations, which aim to hold the government accountable, and carry out influence and control activities, are fully developed.

The Protection of the Right to Equality of the Elderly in the Digital Society

The inequality faced by the elderly in a digital society is the digital inequality caused by both public and private actions,as well as the societal inequality exacerbated by the digital inequality.The essence of this issue lies in the unequal social participation due to the expansion of digital space under digital inequality.The characteristics of the elderly,combined with their inherent human dignity,determine that the ultimate goal of protecting their right to equality in a digital society is not limited to equal digital rights alone.Instead,it aims to ensure that the elderly have equal opportunities for social participation in both digital and non-digital spaces by eliminating digital inequality and curbing the expansion of digital space.This ensures the autonomy of the elderly in the digital society.Accordingly,the State should implement two policies based on both prohibitive obligations that prevent direct infringements and protective obligations that safeguard the equal rights of the elderly against encroachments from private entities.The first policy,“Digital Integration”,empowers the elderly with digital skills and helps them actively integrate into the digital society.The second policy,“Digital Coexistence,”ensures that the elderly can equally participate in society even when they choose to abstain from digital technology.

中国居民收入与家庭碳达峰:基于CGSS数据与多项Logit模型

基于2015年和2018年CGSS家庭微观数据,构建多项Logit模型,实证检验居民收入对家庭碳达峰偏离度的影响。研究发现:居民收入增长对家庭直接碳达峰偏离度和间接碳达峰偏离度均产生显著的促进作用,进而提升家庭部门碳达峰偏离度,且家庭碳达峰偏离水平越低,收入增长产生影响的可能性就越小。异质性分析表明,中西部地区家庭的低碳消费模式较为稳定,东部地区则需关注高碳排放风险,且教育水平提升能够缓解因居民收入增长带来的家庭碳达峰偏离度提升问题。因此,我国政府应引导培养家庭节约集约的绿色生活观念,以推动家庭消费绿色低碳转型和碳达峰碳中和目标的实现。

“民间”、“民间社会”和CIVIL SOCIETY———CIVIL SOCIETY概念再检讨

试图从一种解释的立场重新考虑中国的“civilsociety”问题 ,据此 ,中国“civilsociety”之出现或者重现将被置于一个有着悠久传统的本土背景之下 ,并被从社会行动者主观的方面来理解。然而 ,这种研究立场的转变并不意味着简单地拒绝考虑和使用“civilsociety”概念 ,毋宁说 ,它要求以更恰当更有效的方式来运用这一概念。学者们已经注意并且区分了“civilsociety”概念的不同用法 ,其中 ,“描述性的”和“规范性的”是两种最基本的区分。不过在本文中 ,“civilsociety”将首先被看成是一种“对照性的”的概念 ,而且除非这一概念的“对照性”用法已被充分地了解和运用 ,否则要在中国语境中恰当地展示其分析性和规范性意义几乎是不可能的。作者强调历史记忆以及在理解和建构社会现实过程中行动者认知和想象的重要性 ,同时也从社会变迁角度指出诸如“民间”这类本土概念的局限性 ,认为“民间”的传统终须被超越 。

近代西方“society”观念的生成

近代西方的"society"观念经历了三次变迁:19世纪以前,"society"是契约社会的代名词,其要义是保护个人权利和自由,要求国家成为专门的职能部门,权力受到制衡和监督,而不再是高高在上的统治者;19世纪上半叶,黑格尔的"civil society"确立了个人—社会—国家框架,指出了社会伦理存在的缺陷,认为社会只是家庭与国家的中介环节,不再是终极的伦理归宿;19世纪下半叶,系统整体的社会观由社会学者确立,"society"具有了跨时空含义。与此同时,社会进化学说确立了西方社会优越性的理论基础,"西方中心论"获得支持,影响深远。
